6. Shares Subject to Plan, Limitations on Grants and Exercise Price. Subject to adjustment by the operation of Section 16 hereof:
(a) The maximum number of Shares that may be issued with respect to Awards made under the Plan is 1,000,000 Shares, no more than 100,000 of which may be issued pursuant to Awards granted in the form of Incentive Stock Options. The number of Shares that may be granted under the Plan to any Participant during any year under all forms of Awards will not exceed 200,000 Shares.
(b) The Shares with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan may either be authorized and unissued Shares or issued Shares heretofore or hereafter reacquired and held as treasury Shares. Any Award that expires, terminates or is surrendered for cancellation, or with respect to Restricted Shares, which is forfeited (so long as any cash dividends paid on such Shares are also forfeited), may be subject to new Awards under the Plan with respect to the number of Shares as to which a termination or forfeiture has occurred. Additionally, Shares that are withheld by the Company or delivered by the Participant to the Company in order to satisfy payment of the Exercise Price or any tax withholding obligation and Shares granted pursuant to an Award Agreement which is subsequently settled in cash rather than Shares, may be subject to new Awards under the Plan.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision under the Plan, the Exercise Price for any Incentive Stock Option awarded under the Plan may not be less than the Market Value of the Shares.
(d) In connection with the granting of an Award, the number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan shall be reduced by the number of Shares in respect of which the Award is granted or denominated; provided, however, that, with respect to a Stock SAR, the number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan shall be reduced only by the number of Shares issued in settlement.

 

5


 

(e) If any Option is exercised by tendering previously acquired Shares to the Company as full or partial payment of the Exercise Price, the number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan shall be increased by the number of Shares so tendered.
(f) Whenever any outstanding other Award (or portion thereof) shall expire, lapse, be cancelled, or is otherwise terminated for any reason, without having been exercised or payment having been made in respect of the entire Award, the Shares allocable to the expired, lapsed, cancelled, settled or otherwise terminated portion of the Award may again be the subject of other Awards granted under this Plan.
7. General Terms and Conditions of Options.
(a) The Committee will have full and complete authority and discretion, except as expressly limited by the Plan, to grant Options and to prescribe the terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) of the Options; provided, however, that the Committee shall not enter into any Award Agreement that includes terms or conditions that would subject the Participant to gross income inclusion, interest, or additional tax pursuant to Code Section 409A. Each Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify: (i) the Exercise Price, (ii) the number of Shares subject to the Option, (iii) the expiration date of the Option, (iv) the manner, time and rate (cumulative or otherwise) of exercise of the Option, (v) the restrictions, if any, to be placed upon the Option or upon Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Option, (vi) the conditions, if any, under which a Participant may transfer or assign Options, and (vii) any other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine.
(b) The Committee shall not, without the further approval of the shareholders of the Company, authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option Award Agreement to reduce the Exercise Price. Furthermore, no Option shall be cancelled and replaced with an Option having a lower Exercise Price without further approval of the shareholders of the Company.
8. Exercise of Options.
(a) Except as provided in Section 18, an Option granted under the Plan will be exercisable only by the Participant, and except as provided in Section 9 of the Plan, no Option may be exercised unless at the time the Participant exercises the Option, the Participant has maintained Continuous Service since the date of the grant of the Option.
(b) To exercise an Option under the Plan, the Participant must give written notice to the Company specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Participant elects to exercise the Option together with full payment of the Exercise Price. The date of exercise will be the date on which the notice is received by the Company. Payment may be made either (i) in cash (including check, bank draft or money order), (ii) by tendering Shares already owned by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise and having a Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price, (iii) through the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option and the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company to cover the Exercise Price, or (iv) by any other means determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

9. Termination of Options. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in the Plan or by the Committee in the Award Agreement or any amendment thereto, Options will terminate as provided in this Section.
(a) Unless sooner terminated under the provisions of this Section, Options will expire on the earlier of the date specified in the Award Agreement or the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of grant.
(b) If the Continuous Service of a Participant is terminated for reason of Retirement, the Participant may exercise all Options that are vested or that vest in full within the period of thirty-six months (36) months immediately succeeding the Participant’s Retirement. Any unvested Options remaining at the end of the 36-month post-retirement period will be forfeited by the Participant.
(c) If the Continuous Service of a Participant is terminated for Cause, all rights under any Options granted to the Participant will terminate immediately upon the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, and the Participant will (unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, waives this requirement) repay to the Company within ten (10) days the amount of any gain realized by the Participant upon any exercise of an Option, awarded under the Plan, within the 90-day period prior to the cessation of Continuous Service.
(d) If the Continuous Service of a Participant is terminated voluntarily by the Participant for any reason other than death, Disability, or Retirement, the Participant may exercise outstanding Options to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Options at the date of cessation of Continuous Service, but only within the period of three (3) months immediately succeeding the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, and in no event after the applicable expiration dates of the Options.
(e) If the Continuous Service of a Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause, the Participant may exercise outstanding Options to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Options at the date of cessation of Continuous Service, but only within the period of three (3) months immediately succeeding the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service, and in no event after the applicable expiration dates of the Options; provided, however, that if a Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause within twelve months after a Change in Control, such Participant may exercise outstanding Options to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise the Options at the date of cessation of Continuous Service, within the period of one (1) year immediately succeeding the cessation of Continuous Service but in no event after the applicable expiration dates of the Options.
(f) In the event of the Participant’s death or Disability, all Options heretofore granted and not fully exercisable will become exercisable in full and the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, as the case may be, may exercise such Options within the period of one (1) year immediately succeeding the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service by reason of death or Disability, and in no event after the applicable expiration date of the Options.
(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 9, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish different terms and conditions pertaining to the effect of the cessation of Continuous Service, to the extent permitted by applicable federal and state law. Additionally, notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 9, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow the exercise of an expired Option if the Committee determines that: (i) the expiration was solely the result of the Company’s inability to execute the exercise of an Option due to conditions beyond the Company’s control, and (ii) the Participant made valid and reasonable efforts to exercise the Award. In the event the Committee makes such a determination, the Company shall allow the exercise to occur as promptly as possible following its receipt of exercise instructions subsequent to such determination.

10. Restrictive Covenants. In its discretion, the Committee may condition the grant of any Option under the Plan upon the Participant agreeing to reasonable covenants in favor of the Company and/or any Affiliate (including, without limitation, covenants not to compete, not to solicit employees and customers, and not to disclose confidential information) that may have effect following the termination of employment with the Company or any Affiliate, and after the Option has been exercised, including, without limitation, the requirement to disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received upon exercise of the Option prior to any breach of any covenant.
11. Incentive Stock Options.
(a) Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Participants who are Employees. Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Incentive Stock Option will be granted more than ten (10) years from the earlier of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company or approved by the Company’s shareholders, (ii) no Incentive Stock Option will be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted, (iii) the Exercise Price of any Incentive Stock Option will not be less than the Market Value per Share on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted, (iv) any Incentive Stock Option will not be transferable by the Participant to whom such Incentive Stock Option is granted other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and will be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant, (v) no Incentive Stock Option will be granted that would permit a Participant to acquire, through the exercise of Incentive Stock Options in any calendar year, under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates, Shares having an aggregate Market Value (determined as of the time any Incentive Stock Option is granted) in excess of $100,000 (determined by assuming that the Participant will exercise each Incentive Stock Option on the date that such Option first becomes exercisable), and (vi) no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised more than three (3) months after the Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service (one (1) year in the case of Disability) for any reason other than death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Participant who, at the date of grant, owns shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company or any Affiliate, the Exercise Price of any Incentive Stock Option will not be less than 110% of the Market Value per Share on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted and such Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable more than five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if for any reason an Option granted under the Plan that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, such Option will be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option, and such Option will be deemed to be fully authorized and validly issued under the Plan.
12. Terms and Conditions of Restricted Shares. The Committee will have full and complete authority, subject to the limitations of the Plan, to grant Awards of Restricted Shares and to prescribe the terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Participants) in respect of the Awards. Unless the Committee otherwise specifically provides in the Award Agreement, an Award of Restricted Shares will be subject to the following provisions:
(a) At the time of an Award of Restricted Shares, the Committee will establish for each Participant a Restricted Period during which, or at the expiration of which, the Restricted Shares will vest. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including, but not limited to, the right to receive all dividends paid on the Restricted Shares and the right to vote the Restricted Shares. The Committee will have the authority, in its discretion, to accelerate the time at which any or all of the restrictions will lapse with respect to any Restricted Shares prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, or to remove any or all restrictions, whenever it may determine that such action is appropriate by reason of changes in applicable tax or other laws or other changes in circumstances occurring after the commencement of the Restricted Period.
(b) Subject to Section 17, if a Participant ceases Continuous Service for any reason other than death or disability, before the Restricted Shares have vested, a Participant’s rights with respect to the unvested portion of the Restricted Shares will terminate and be returned to the Company.
(c) Subject to Section 17, if a Participant ceases Continuous Service by reason of death or Disability before any Restricted Period has expired, the Restricted Shares will become fully vested.

Copies of the Plan and Award Agreement are on file in the office of the Secretary of Integra Bank Corporation.”
(e) At the time of an Award of Restricted Shares, the Participant will enter into an Award Agreement with the Company in a form specified by the Committee agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Award.
(f) At the time of an Award of Restricted Shares, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Participant of dividends declared or paid on the Restricted Shares by the Company, or a specified portion thereof, will be deferred until the earlier to occur of (i) the lapsing of the restrictions imposed with respect to the Restricted Shares, or (ii) the forfeiture of such Restricted Shares under paragraph (b) of this Section, and will be held by the Company for the account of the Participant until such time. In the event of deferral, there will be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Payment of deferred dividends, together with accrued interest, will be made upon the earlier to occur of the events specified in (i) and (ii) of this paragraph. The Committee’s authority, however, to accelerate the lapse of restrictions or to remove restrictions on Restricted Shares, pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, shall not apply to accelerate the payment of any deferred dividends on the Restricted Shares.
(g) At the expiration of the restrictions imposed by this Section, the Company will redeliver to the Participant the certificate(s) and stock powers, deposited with the Company pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section and the Shares represented by the certificate(s) will be free of all restrictions.
(h) No Award of Restricted Shares may be assigned, transferred or encumbered.
13. Performance Shares and Performance Units.
(a) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may from time to time authorize the grant of Performance Shares and Performance Units upon the achievement of performance goals (which may be cumulative and/or alternative) within a designated Performance Cycle as may be established, in writing, by the Committee based on any one or any combination of the Performance Goals.
(b) In the case of Performance Units, the Committee shall determine the value of Performance Units under each Award.

Payment shall be made in a lump sum no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the applicable Performance Cycle ends.

(e) The grant of an Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement containing the terms and conditions of the Award as determined by the Committee. To the extent required under Code section 162(m), the business criteria under which Performance Goals are determined by the Committee will be resubmitted to shareholders for reapproval no later than the first shareholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which shareholders previously approved the Plan.
(f) Subject to Section 17, if the Participant ceases Continuous Service before the end of a Performance Cycle for any reason other than Disability or death, the Participant will forfeit all rights with respect to any Performance Shares or Performance Units that were being earned during the Performance Cycle. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines providing that if a Participant ceases Continuous Service before the end of a Performance Cycle by reason of Disability or death, the Participant will be entitled to a prorated payment with respect to any Performance Shares or Performance Units that were being earned during the Performance Cycle.
14. Stock SARs.
(a) The Committee may, from time to time, authorize the grant of stock appreciation rights that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan (“Stock SARs”). Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards.
(b) Upon exercise of vested Stock SARs, the following procedure will govern the determination of the number of Shares that settle the exercise of the Award:
(i) The number of Stock SARs exercised is multiplied by the dollar amount by which the Market Value of a Share of common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the Base Value of a Share.
(ii) A portion of the dollar amount calculated in Section 14(b)(i) is withheld for income tax purposes; the amount to be determined by the Committee consistent with federal and state income tax withholding guidelines.
(iii) The dollar amount remaining after the calculation in Section 14(b)(ii) is divided by the Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise to determine the number of Shares delivered to the Participant to settle the exercise of the Stock SARs. Such delivery of Shares will always be denominated in whole shares. The dollar value of any fractional Share resulting from the previous calculations is distributed to the Participant in the form of cash.
(c) Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in the Plan or by the Committee in the Award Agreement or any amendment thereto, Stock SARs will terminate at the same times and upon the same terms and conditions as are provided for Options under Section 9.
15. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares subsequent to the effective date of the Plan by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or any change in the corporate structure or Shares of the Company, the maximum aggregate number and class of Shares as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan and the number and class of Shares, and the exercise price of Options and Base Value of Stock SARs, with respect to which Awards theretofore have been granted under the Plan will be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to prevent the dilution or diminution of Awards. The Committee’s determination with respect to any adjustments will be conclusive. Any Shares or other securities received, as a result of any of the foregoing, by a Participant with respect to Restricted Shares will be subject to the same restrictions and the certificate(s) or other instruments representing or evidencing the Shares or other securities will be legended and deposited with the Company in the manner provided in Section 12 of this Agreement.

16. Effect of Reorganization. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement, Awards will be affected by a Reorganization as follows:
(a) If the Reorganization is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company then (i) the restrictions on Restricted Shares will lapse and (ii) each outstanding Option and Stock SAR Award will terminate, but each Participant to whom the Award was granted will have the right, immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation, to exercise the Option or Stock SAR in full, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11, and the Company will notify each Participant of such right within a reasonable period of time prior to any dissolution or liquidation.
(b) If the Reorganization is a merger or consolidation, upon the effective date of the Reorganization (i) each Participant will be entitled, upon exercise of an Option or Stock SAR in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, to receive in lieu of Shares, shares or other securities or consideration as the holders of Shares are entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization; and (ii) each holder of Restricted Shares will be entitled to receive shares or other securities as the holders of Shares received which will be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 12 (unless the Committee accelerates the lapse of such restrictions) and the certificate(s) or other instruments representing or evidencing the shares or other securities shall be legended and deposited with the Company in the manner provided in Section 12 of this Plan.
The adjustments contained in this Section and the manner of application of such provisions will be determined solely by the Committee.
17. Effect of Change of Control.
(a) If the Continuous Service of any Participant of the Company or any Affiliate is involuntarily terminated, for whatever reason, at any time within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, unless the Committee has otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, (i) any Restricted Period with respect to an Award of Restricted Shares will lapse upon the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service and all Restricted Shares will become fully vested in the Participant to whom the Award was made; and (ii) with respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units, the Participant will be entitled to receive a prorata payment to the same extent as if the Participant ceases Continuous Service by reason of death or Disability under Section 13 of the Plan.
(b) If a tender offer or exchange offer for Shares (other than such an offer by the Company) is commenced, or if a Change in Control occurs, unless the Committee has otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, all Option and Stock SAR Awards theretofore granted and not fully exercisable will become exercisable in full upon the happening of such event and will remain exercisable in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that no Options or Stock SARs which have previously been exercised or otherwise terminated will become exercisable.
18. Assignments and Transfers. No Award nor any right or interest of a Participant in any Award under the Plan may be assigned, encumbered or transferred otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, set forth in an Award Agreement at the time of grant or thereafter, that the Award (other than Incentive Stock Options) may be transferred to members of the Participant’s immediate family, to one or more trusts solely for the benefit of such immediate family members and to partnerships in which such family members or trusts are the only partners. For this purpose, immediate family means the Participant’s spouse, parents, children, step-children, grandchildren and legal dependents. Any transfer of an Award under this provision will not be effective until notice of such transfer is delivered to the Company.

19. Employee Rights Under the Plan. No officer, Director, Employee or other person will have a right to be selected as a Participant nor, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant, and no officer, Director, Employee or other person will have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or under any other incentive or similar plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Neither the Plan nor any action taken under the Plan will be construed as giving any Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate.
20. Delivery and Registration of Shares. The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares with respect to an Award will, if the Committee requests, be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation as to the investment intention of the Participant to whom such Shares are to be delivered, in such form as the Committee will determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or any other applicable federal or state securities laws. It may be provided that any representation requirement will become inoperative upon a registration of the Shares or other action eliminating the necessity of the representation under the Securities Act or other state securities laws. The Company will not be required to deliver any Shares under the Plan prior to (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or system on which Shares may then be listed, and (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation, as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable.
21. Withholding Tax. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award, the Company has the right and power to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable tax withholding requirements. The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award by (a) having the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, or (b) delivering to the Company Shares already owned for a period of at least six months and having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount that the Committee determines, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined for these purposes. For these purposes, the value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be equal to the Market Value as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.
22. Deferrals. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee may permit (upon timely election by the Participant) or require a Participant to defer such Participant’s receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Shares, or the satisfaction of any requirements or goals with respect to Performance Units or Performance Shares. If any such deferral election is required or permitted, the Committee shall establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals that satisfy the applicable standards for nonqualified deferred compensation plans established by Code Section 409A and its interpretive regulations and other regulatory guidance.
23. Termination, Amendment and Modification of Plan. The Board may at any time terminate, and may at any time and from time to time and in any respect amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or Code section 422 (or any other applicable law or regulation, including requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Company’s common stock is listed or quoted), shareholder approval of any Plan amendment will be obtained in the manner and to the degree as is required by the applicable law or regulation; and provided further, that no termination, amendment or modification of the Plan will in any manner affect any Award theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan without the consent of the Participant to whom the Award was granted or the transferee of the Award.
24. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 22, no further Awards may be made under the Plan after April 18, 2017.

25. Code Section 409A.
(a) If as of the date his employment terminates, a Participant is a “key employee” within the meaning of Code Section 416(i), without regard to paragraph 416(i)(5) thereof, and if the Company has stock that is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, any deferred compensation payments otherwise payable under this Plan because of his termination of Continuous Service (for reasons other than death or Disability) will be suspended until, and will be paid to the Participant on, the first day of the seventh month following the month in which the Participant’s last day of employment occurs. For purposes of this Plan, “deferred compensation” means compensation provided under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan as defined in, and subject to, Code Section 409A.
(b) The Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the applicable standards for nonqualified deferred compensation plans established by Code Section 409A and its interpretive regulations and other regulatory guidance. To the extent that any terms of the Plan or an Award Agreement would subject the Participant to gross income inclusion, interest, or additional tax pursuant to Code Section 409A, those terms are to that extent superseded by, and shall be adjusted to the minimum extent necessary to satisfy, the applicable Code Section 409A standards.
26. Governing Law. Except as provided in Section 25, the Plan and Award Agreements will be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Indiana. The Committee may provide that any dispute as to any Award shall be presented and determined in such forum as the Committee may specify, including through binding arbitration.
27. Repricing of Options. Nothing in this Plan shall permit the repricing of any outstanding options other than (a) with the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, or (b) pursuant to Sections 15 and 16. The foregoing restriction shall also apply to any other transaction which would be treated as a repricing of outstanding options under generally accepted accounting principles.
28. Prior Plans. Following the effective date of this Plan, the Company shall not make any additional awards under the Integra Bank Corporation 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan or the Integra Bank Corporation 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
