Such Participants Award, if any, shall be calculated in accordance with the mathematical formula or matrix determined pursuant to Section 6 or 7, as applicable, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9 hereof. The Committee shall certify in writing the amount of such Award and whether each material term of the Plan relating to such Award has been satisfied. Subject to Section 9 hereof, such Award shall become payable in cash as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that any Award shall be paid within 2 1/2 months of the end of the Fiscal Year in which the Award is no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture.
9. Limitations; Modifications to Awards. Each Award determined pursuant to Section 6 or 7 hereof shall be subject to modification or forfeiture in accordance with the following provisions:

(b) Modifications. At any time prior to the payment of an Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, (i) increase, decrease, or eliminate the Award payable to any Participant who is not a Covered Employee and who would not become a Covered Employee as a result of any such increase, and/or (ii) decrease or eliminate the Award payable to any Covered Employee, in each case to reflect the individual performance and contribution of, and other factors relating to, such Covered Employee. The Committee may make such adjustments, to the extent it deems appropriate to any Award to compensate for, or to reflect, any Extraordinary Event. The determination of the Committee as to matters set forth in this Section 9(b) shall be final and conclusive.
10. Employment Requirement. Except as otherwise provided in any employment or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary, no Participant shall have any right to receive payment of any Award unless such Participant remains in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary through the date of payment of such Award; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its
4
sole discretion, pay all or any part of an Award to any Participant who, prior to such date of payment, terminates employment, so long as the Performance Thresholds applicable to the Participants Targets were achieved or exceeded, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for payment of all or part of an award upon any event, to the extent that such provision does not violate Code Section 162(m) with respect to a Covered Employee. The maximum amount of such payment, if any, will be calculated, and to the extent determined by the Committee, paid as provided in Section 6 or 7. The determination of the Committee shall be final and conclusive.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Contract; No Rights to Awards or Continued Employment. The Plan is not a contract between the Company and any Participant or other employee. No Participant or other employee shall have any claim or right to receive Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(b) No Right to Future Participation. Participation in the Plan during one Performance Period shall not guarantee participation during any other Performance Period.
(c) Restriction on Transfer. The rights of a Participant with respect to Awards under the Plan shall not be transferable by the Participant to whom such Award is granted (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), and any attempted assignment, or transfer shall be null and void and shall permit the Committee, in its sole discretion, to extinguish the Companys obligation under the Plan to pay any Award with respect to such Participant.
(d) Tax Withholding. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as appropriate, shall have the right to deduct from all payments made under the Plan to a Participant or to a Participants beneficiary or beneficiaries any federal, foreign, state, or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.
(e) No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Changes. The Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, acquisition, divestiture, consolidation, spin off, combination, liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets, or other similar corporate transaction or event involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other event or series of events, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(f) Source of Payments. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Plan shall not create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund or segregation of assets of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other individual, corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, or government or political subdivision thereof. To the extent that any Participant is granted an Award hereunder, such Participants right to receive payment of such Award shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
(g) No Interest. If the Company for any reason fails to make payment of an Award at the time such Award becomes payable, the Company shall not be liable for any interest or other charges thereon.
(h) Amendment and Termination. The Committee may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. No such amendment shall be
5
effective which alters the Award, Target, or other criteria relating to an Award applicable to a Covered Employee for the Performance Period in which such amendment is made or any prior Performance Period, except any such amendment that may be made without causing such Award to cease to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.
(i) Headings. The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.
(j) Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation, administration, and effect of the Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan, shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice-of-law principles thereof, and applicable federal law.
(k) Severability. If any term or provision (Provision) of the Plan or the application thereof (i) as to any Participant or circumstance (other than as described in clause (ii)) is, to any extent, found to be illegal or invalid, or (ii) would cause any Award to any Covered Employee not to constitute performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, then the Committee shall sever such Provision from the Plan and, thereupon, such Provision shall not be a part of the Plan.
(l) Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of the day immediately prior to the effective date of the first registration statement that is filed by the Company and declared effective pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, with respect to any class of the Companys securities.
(m) Approval and Reapproval by Stockholders. To the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, (i) any change to the material terms of the Financial Criteria shall be disclosed to and approved by the stockholders of the Company at the next annual meeting of stockholders to be held following such change, and (ii) the material terms of the Financial Criteria shall be disclosed to and reapproved by the stockholders of the Company no later than the annual meeting of stockholders that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which stockholders approve the Financial Criteria (provided, however, that with respect to the first year in which the Company becomes publicly traded, such disclosure will be made and approval will be sought no later than first annual meeting of stockholders that occurs after the third year following the calendar year in which the Company became publicly traded).
(n) Nonexclusivity of the Plan. The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable including incentive arrangements and awards which do not qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code.
