MAC-GRAY CORPORATION
LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of January 17, 2008)
1. Purpose. This Plan is intended to create incentives for certain executive officers and key employees of the Company and any Subsidiary to allow the Company to attract and retain in its employ persons who will contribute to the future success of the Company. It is further the intent of the Company that awards made under this Plan be used to achieve the twin goals of (i) aligning executive incentive compensation with increases in stockholder value over the long term, and (ii) using equity compensation as a tool to retain executive officers and key employees. In furtherance of the goals, it is the intention of the Company that, except in limited circumstances, fifty percent (50%) of each award made under this Plan will be made in the form of restricted stock units and the remaining fifty percent (50%) in the form of stock options.
2. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth below:
2.1 Annual Target Award shall mean, for any Participant, a percentage of his or her base salary at the beginning of each Fiscal Year.
2.2 Committee shall mean those members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company who are non-employee directors as such term is defined under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

3. Administration. The Committee shall have sole discretionary power to determine the target amount for the Performance Measure each year, to interpret the provisions of this Plan, to administer and make all decisions and exercise all rights of the Company with respect to this Plan. The Committee shall have final authority to apply the provisions of the Plan and determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of the Annual Target Awards for Participants hereunder and shall also have the exclusive discretionary authority to make all other determinations (including, without limitation, the interpretation and construction of the Plan and the determination of relevant facts) regarding the entitlement to benefits hereunder and the amount of benefits to be paid from the Plan. The Committees exercise of this discretionary authority shall at all times be in accordance with the terms of the Plan and shall be entitled to deference upon review by any court, agency or other entity empowered to review its decision, and shall be enforced provided that it is not arbitrary, capricious or fraudulent.
4. Eligibility. For each Fiscal Year, those executive officers and key employees recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee shall be Participants. The selection of an individual to be a Participant in any one Fiscal Year does not entitle the individual to be a Participant in any other Fiscal Year.
5. Annual Target Awards. The Committee shall determine the Annual Target Award for each Participant. It is expected that 50 percent of the value of the Annual Target Award shall be awarded annually in the form of stock options and 50 percent of the value of the Annual Target Award shall be awarded annually in the form of restricted stock units. Value for this purpose shall mean (a) in the case of stock options, the Black-Scholes value of such stock options, and (b) in the case of restricted stock units, the number of units subject to the award multiplied by the average closing price of the Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the award date. Stock options shall have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Stock on the date of grant and shall become exercisable over a three-year period, at the rate of 331/3 percent each year, subject to continued employment of the Participant by the Company or a Subsidiary. Up to 331/3 percent of the restricted stock units subject to an award shall become vested following each Fiscal Year on the date (the Vesting Date) on which the Committee makes a determination that the Company has achieved the Performance Measure for such Fiscal Year, subject to continued employment of the Participant by the Company or a Subsidiary. The actual number of restricted stock units that will vest on a particular Vesting Date will depend on the percentage of the Performance Measure the Company achieved for the relevant Fiscal Year based on the following percentage thresholds:
