APPENDIX A

DEFINITIONS

“Affiliate” means all persons with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) of the Code and all persons with whom such person would be considered a single employer under Section 414(c) of the Code.

“Disabled” means a Participant qualifies for long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan, or if the Company does not sponsor such a disability plan, the Participant qualifies for Social Security Disability Insurance under Title II of the Social Security Act. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all determinations of whether a Participant is Disabled shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the guidance thereunder.

“Separation from Service” means a Participant’s termination or deemed termination from employment with the Company and its Affiliates. For purposes of determining whether a Separation from Service has occurred, the employment relationship is treated as continuing intact while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Participant retains a right to reemployment with his or her employer under an applicable statute or by contract. For this purpose, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for his or her employer. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six month period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to last for a continuous period of more than six months but less than 12 months, and such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of the Participant’s position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a period equal to such Participant’s leave of absence will be substituted for such six-month period, so long as that period is less than 12 months. If such an absence exceeds 12 months, then the Participant will be considered Disabled and Section 4(d) will govern.

A Separation from Service occurs at the date as of which the facts and circumstances indicate either that, after such date: (A) the Participant and the Company reasonably anticipate the Participant will perform no further services for the Company and its Affiliates (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) or (B) that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for the Company and its Affiliates (whether as an employee or independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period or, if the Participant has been providing services to the Company and its Affiliates for less than 36 months, the full period over which the Participant has rendered services, whether as an employee or independent contractor. The determination of whether a Separation from Service has occurred shall be governed by the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1, as amended, taking into account the objective facts and circumstances with respect to the level of bona fide services performed by the Participant after a certain date.

(b) Rule 16b-3 Administration. Any function relating to a Section 16 Person shall be performed solely by the Committee or the Board if necessary to ensure compliance with applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, to the extent the Committee determines that such compliance is desired.

12

5.5 Deferral of Inducement Award Payouts. The Committee may permit or require the Grantee to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due by virtue of the lapse or waiver of restrictions for Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may also require such a deferral of receipt in order to avoid non-deductibility of any amounts associated with such Inducement Award or to comply with the requirements of applicable law. If any such deferral is required or permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals. Except as otherwise provided in an Inducement Award Agreement or this Section 5.5, any payment of any Shares that are subject to such deferral shall be made or delivered to the Grantee upon the Grantee’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any deferral or payment of a deferred number of Shares or any other payment with respect to any Inducement Award be allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

Article 6.—Restricted Stock Units

6.1 Delivery and Limitations. Delivery of Shares will occur upon the terms and conditions of the Inducement Award Agreement. In addition, an Inducement Award shall be subject to such additional limitations as the Committee may impose. The Grantee will have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of his Restricted Stock Units.

Article 8.—Amendment, Modification, and Termination

8.1 Inducement Awards Previously Granted. Except as otherwise specifically permitted in Inducement Award Agreement, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Inducement Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any Inducement Award previously granted under the Inducement Award Agreement, without the written consent of the Grantee of such Inducement Award.

Whenever, under the Inducement Award Agreement, (i) Shares are to be delivered upon payment of an Inducement Award, (ii) a cash payment is made for any Inducement Award, or (iii) any other payment event occurs with respect to rights and benefits hereunder, the Company or any Affiliate shall be entitled to require (A) that the Grantee remit an amount in cash, or in the Company’s discretion, in Shares, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the withholding obligation arises, sufficient to satisfy all of the employer’s federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements related thereto but no more than the minimum amount necessary to satisfy such amounts (“Required Withholding”), (B) the withholding of such Required Withholding from compensation otherwise due to the Grantee or from any Shares valued at their Fair Market Value at the date the withholding obligation arises, or from any other payment due to the Grantee under the Inducement Award or otherwise or (C) any combination of the foregoing.

Article 10.—Additional Provisions

10.1 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Inducement Award Agreement with respect to Inducement Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

10.2 Severability. If any part of the Inducement Award Agreement is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any other part of the Inducement Award Agreement. Any Section or part of a Section so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

10.3 Requirements of Law. The granting of Inducement Awards and the delivery of Shares under the Inducement Award Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or securities exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any provision of the Inducement Award Agreement, the Grantee shall not be entitled to exercise, or receive benefits under, any Inducement Award, and the Company (and any Affiliate) shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares or deliver benefits to the Grantee, if such exercise or delivery would constitute a violation by the Grantee or the Company of any applicable law or regulation.

10.4 Securities Law Compliance.

(a) If the Committee deems it necessary to comply with any applicable securities law, or the requirements of any securities exchange or other form of securities market upon which Shares may be listed, the Committee may impose any restriction on Shares acquired

14

pursuant to Inducement Awards under the Inducement Award Agreement as it may deem advisable. All certificates for Shares delivered under the Inducement Award Agreement pursuant to any Inducement Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange or other form of securities market upon which Shares are then listed, any applicable securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. If so requested by the Company, the Grantee shall make a written representation to the Company that he will not sell or offer to sell any Shares unless a registration statement shall be in effect with respect to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state or foreign securities law or unless he shall have furnished an opinion to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is not required.

(b) If the Committee determines that the exercise, nonforfeitability of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Inducement Award would violate any applicable provision of securities laws or the listing requirements of any securities exchange or other form of securities market on which are listed any of the Company’s equity securities, then the Committee may postpone any such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery, as applicable, but the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date.

10.5 No Rights as a Stockholder. No Grantee shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares which may be deliverable upon payment of such Inducement Award until such Shares have been delivered to him.

10.6 Nature of Payments. Unless specified in the Inducement Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Company, Inducement Awards shall be special incentive payments to the Grantee and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Grantee for purposes of determining any pension, retirement, death or other benefit under (a) any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, insurance or other employee benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate, except as such plan shall otherwise expressly provide, or (b) any agreement between (i) the Company or any Affiliate and (ii) the Grantee, except as such agreement shall otherwise expressly provide.

10.7 Governing Law. The Inducement Award Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, other than its laws respecting choice of law.

10.8 Share Certificates. Any certificates for Shares delivered under the terms of the Inducement Award Agreement shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules of any foreign securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules of any national securities exchange or other form of securities market on which Shares are listed or quoted. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions or any other

15

restrictions or limitations that may be applicable to Shares. In addition, during any period in which Inducement Awards or Shares are subject to restrictions or limitations under the terms of the Inducement Award Agreement or any Inducement Award Agreement, or during any period during which delivery or receipt of an Inducement Award or Shares has been deferred by the Committee or the Grantee, the Committee may require the Grantee to enter into an agreement providing that certificates representing Shares deliverable or delivered pursuant to an Inducement Award shall remain in the physical custody of the Company or such other person as the Committee may designate.

10.9 Unfunded Status of Inducement Awards; Creation of Trusts. The Inducement Award Agreement is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to the Grantee pursuant to an Inducement Award, nothing contained in the Inducement Award Agreement or any Inducement Award Agreement shall give the Grantee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under the Inducement Award Agreement to deliver cash, Shares or other property pursuant to any Inducement Award which trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Inducement Award Agreement unless the Committee otherwise determines.

10.10 Employment. Nothing in the Inducement Award Agreement or an Inducement Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time, for any reason or no reason, or shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employ or as an officer of the Company or any Affiliate.

10.11 Military Service. Inducement Awards shall be administered in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 to the extent required by law or as determined by the Committee.

10.12 Construction; Gender and Number. The following rules of construction will apply to the Inducement Award Agreement: (a) the word “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive, and (b) words in the singular include the plural, words in the plural include the singular, and words in the neuter gender include the masculine and feminine genders and words in the masculine or feminine gender include the other neuter genders.

10.13 Headings. The headings of articles and sections are included solely for convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict between such headings and the text of this Plan, the text shall control.

10.14 Obligations. Unless otherwise specified in the Inducement Award Agreement, the obligation to deliver, pay or transfer any amount of money or other property pursuant to Inducement Awards under this Plan shall be the sole obligation of the Grantee’s employer; provided that the obligation to deliver or transfer any Shares pursuant to Inducement Awards under this Plan shall be the sole obligation of the Company.

16

10.15 Code Section 409A Compliance. The Board intends that any Inducement Awards under the Inducement Award Agreement shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), the regulations issued thereunder or any exceptions thereto (or disregarded to the extent such provisions cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed). If the Committee determines that an Inducement Award, Inducement Award Agreement, payment, distribution, deferral election, transaction or any other action or arrangement contemplated by the provisions of the Inducement Award Agreement would, if undertaken, cause the Grantee to become subject to additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A, unless the Committee expressly determines otherwise, such grant of Inducement Award, payment, distribution, deferral election, transaction or other action or arrangement shall not be undertaken and the related provisions of the Inducement Award Agreement and/or Inducement Award Agreement will be amended or deemed modified in as close a manner as possible to give effect to the original terms of the Inducement Award, or, only if necessary because a modification or deemed modification would not be reasonably effective in avoiding the additional income tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code, rescinded in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent determined by the Committee without the consent of or notice to the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Inducement Award intended by the Committee to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A which is to be paid out when vested, such payment shall be made as soon as administratively feasible after the Inducement Award becomes vested, but in no event shall such payment be made later than 2-1/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the Inducement Award became vested unless (a) deferred pursuant to Section 5.5 otherwise permitted under the exemption provisions of Section 409A.

10.16 Recoupment. In the event that financial results of the Company are significantly restated due to fraud or intentional misconduct, the Board will review any performance-based incentive payments paid to executive officers, who are found by the Board to be personally responsible for the fraud or intentional misconduct that caused the need for the restatement and will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, seek recoupment from all executive officers of any amounts paid in excess of the amounts that would have been paid based on the restated financial results.
