(a) | attract and retain key executive and managerial employees; |
(b) | attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable directors; |
(c) |
motivate
participating employees, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve
long-range goals;
|
(d) |
provide
incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those
of
other corporations; and
|
(e) |
further
identify Participants’ interests with those of the Company’s other
shareholders through compensation that is based on the Company’s common
stock;
|
(a) |
The
purchase price shall be established by the Committee (or the Board
in the
case of Options granted to Eligible Directors) or shall be determined
by a
method established by the Committee (or the Board in the case of
Options
granted to Eligible Directors) at the time the Option is granted;
provided, however, that in no event shall such price be less than
the
greater of (i) 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock
as of the
date on which the Option is granted; or (ii) the par value of a share
of
Stock on such date.
|
(b) |
Subject
to the following provisions of this subsection 2.3, the full purchase
price of each share of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option
shall be paid at the time of such exercise (except that, in the case
of a
cashless exercise arrangement described in paragraph 2.3(d), payment
may
be made as soon as practicable after the exercise) and, as soon as
practicable thereafter, a certificate representing the shares so
purchased
shall be delivered to the person entitled
thereto.
|
(c) |
The
purchase price shall be payable in cash or in shares of Stock (valued
at
Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise), or in any combination
thereof, as determined by the Committee (or the Board in the case
of
Options granted to Eligible
Directors).
|
(d) |
A
Participant may elect to pay the purchase price upon the exercise
of an
Option through the following cashless exercise procedures: The Participant
shall notify the Corporate Secretary of the intent to exercise. Written
instructions will then be prepared and delivered to the Company and
the
broker indicating the Participant’s cashless election and instructing the
Company to deliver to the broker the Stock issuable upon exercise.
The
exercise of the Option will be executed on the same day that the
broker is
able to sell the stock. The broker will then withhold from the proceeds
of
the sale and deliver to the Company an amount, in cash, equal to
the
Option purchase price. An additional amount for federal and state
tax
withholdings, not to exceed the statutory minimum required tax
withholding, may also be withheld and delivered to the Company at
the
Participant’s election.
|
(a) |
The
terms and conditions relating to exercise of an Option shall be
established by the Committee (or the Board in the case of Options
granted
to Eligible Directors), and may include, without limitation, conditions
relating to completion of a specified period of service or achievement
of
performance standards prior to exercise of the
Option.
|
(b) |
No
Option may be exercised by a Participant: (i) prior to the date on
which
the Participant completes one continuous year of employment with
the
Company or any Related Company or one continuous year of service
as an
Eligible Director, as applicable, after the date as of which the
Option is
granted (provided, however, that the Committee (or the Board in the
case
of Options granted to Eligible Directors) may permit earlier exercise
following the Participant’s Date of Termination or Termination of Service,
as applicable, by reason of death or Disability); or (ii) after the
Expiration Date applicable to that
Option.
|
(c) |
The
exercise of an Option will result in the surrender of the corresponding
rights under a tandem Stock Appreciation Right, if
any.
|
(a) |
the
ten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option is
granted;
|
(b) |
if
the Participant’s Date of Termination or Termination of Service, as
applicable, occurs by reason of Retirement, death or Disability,
the
one-year anniversary of such Date of Termination or Termination of
Service; or
|
(c) |
if
the Participant’s Date of Termination or Termination of Service, as
applicable, occurs for reasons other than Retirement, death or Disability,
60 days following such Date of Termination or Termination of
Service.
|
(a) |
If
a Stock Appreciation Right is not in tandem with an Option, then
the Stock
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms
established by the Committee at the time of grant; provided, however,
that
except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in the Award
Agreement, no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant
(i) prior to the date on which he completes one continuous year of
employment with the Company or any Related Company after the date
as of
which the Stock Appreciation Right is granted (provided, however,
that the
Committee may permit earlier exercise following the Participant’s Date of
Termination by reason of death or Disability); or (ii) after the
Expiration Date applicable to that Stock Appreciation
Right.
|
(b) |
If
a Stock Appreciation Right is in tandem with an Option, then the
Stock
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable at the time the tandem Option
is
exercisable. The exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will result
in the
surrender of the corresponding rights under the tandem
Option.
|
(a) |
the
ten-year anniversary of the date on which the Stock Appreciation
Right is
granted;
|
(b) |
if
the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of Retirement,
death or Disability, the one-year anniversary of such Date of
Termination.
|
(c) |
if
the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason other than
Retirement, death, or Disability, 60 days following such Date of
Termination.
|
(a) |
Except
as otherwise determined by the Committee, Restricted Stock granted
to
Participants may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
encumbered, except as hereinafter provided, for a period of not less
than
one year after the time of the grant of such Stock (the “Restricted
Period”). Except for such restrictions, the Participant as owner of such
shares shall have all the rights of a shareholder, including but
not
limited to the right to vote such shares and, except as otherwise
provided
by the Committee, the right to receive all dividends paid on such
shares.
The Committee may, in its discretion, at any time after the date
of the
award of Restricted Stock, adjust the length of the Restricted Period
to
account for individual circumstances of a Participant or group of
Participants.
|
(b) |
Except
as otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant whose Date
of
Termination occurs prior to the end of the Restricted Period for
any
reason shall forfeit all shares of Restricted Stock remaining subject
to
any outstanding Restricted Stock
Award.
|
(c) |
The
Committee may, in its discretion, condition the vesting of shares
of
Restricted Stock on the achievement of performance
goals.
|
(d) |
Each
certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock granted
under
the Plan shall be registered in the name of the Participant and,
at the
discretion of the Committee, each such certificate may be deposited
in a
bank designated by the Committee. Each such certificate shall bear
the
following (or a similar) legend:
|
(e) |
Subject
to the limitations of the Plan and the Award of Restricted Stock,
at the
end of the Restricted Period for Restricted Stock, such Restricted
Stock
will be transferred free of all restrictions to a Participant (or
his or
her legal representative, beneficiary or
heir).
|
(a) |
The
shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the
Plan
shall be shares of Stock currently authorized but unissued or currently
held or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subsequently
acquired
by the Company as treasury shares, including shares of Stock purchased
in
the open market or in private transactions.
|
(b) |
Subject
to the provisions of subsection 6.3, the number of shares of Stock
which
may be issued with respect to Awards under the Plan shall not
exceed 5,400,000 shares
in the aggregate (as adjusted for stock splits through May 7, 2007).
|
(c) |
To
the extent provided by the Committee (or the Board in the case of
any
Option granted to an Eligible Director pursuant to Section 2), any
Award
may be settled in cash rather than shares of Stock. To the extent
any
shares of Stock covered by an Award are not delivered to a Participant
or
beneficiary because the Award expires, is forfeited or is canceled,
or
because the shares of Stock are not delivered because the Award is
settled
in cash or used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation,
such
shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes
of
determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery
under the Plan.
|
(d) |
If
the exercise price of any Option granted under the Plan is satisfied
by
tendering shares of Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery
or by
attestation), only the number of shares of Stock issued net of the
shares
of Stock tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining
the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under
the
Plan.
|
(e) |
Subject
to paragraph 6.3, the following additional maximums are imposed under
the
Plan:
|
(i) |
The
maximum number of shares of Stock that may be covered by Awards granted
to
any one employee pursuant to Section 2 (relating to Options) and
Section 3
(relating to Stock Appreciation Rights) during any one-year Company
fiscal
year period shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares of Stock, reduced by
the sum
of (A) the number of shares of Stock subject to all other prior Awards
of
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan within the one-year
Company fiscal year period that includes the date of the Award; and
(B)
the number of shares of Stock subject to all other prior stock options
and
stock appreciation rights granted to the employee under other plans
or
arrangements of the Employer within the one-year Company fiscal year
period that includes the date of the
Award.
|
(ii) |
In
the case of Awards, other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights,
granted under the Plan, which Awards are intended to be “performance-based
compensation” (as that term is used for purposes of Code section 162(m)),
no more than 1,000,000 shares of Stock and, if such Awards are denominated
in cash value, no more than $10,000,000, may be subject to such Awards
granted to any one individual during any one-year Company fiscal
year
period that includes the date of the Award. If, after shares have
been
earned, the delivery is deferred, any additional shares attributable
to
dividends or other amounts attributable to earnings during the deferral
period shall be disregarded.
|
(iii) |
If
an Option is in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right, such that
the
exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right with respect to
a share
of Stock cancels the tandem Stock Appreciation Right or Option,
respectively, with respect to such share, the tandem Option and Stock
Appreciation Rights with respect to each share of Stock shall be
counted
as covering only one share of Stock for purposes of applying the
limitations of this Section 6.2.
|
(iv) |
Subject
to the provisions of subsection 6.3, the determination made under
the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph (e) shall be based on the
shares
subject to the Awards at the time of grant, regardless of when the
Awards
become exercisable.
|
(a) |
If
the Company shall effect any subdivision or consolidation of shares
of
Stock or other capital readjustment, payment of stock dividend, stock
split, combination of shares or recapitalization or other increase
or
reduction of the number of shares of Stock outstanding without receiving
compensation therefor in money, services or property, then the Committee
shall adjust (i) the number of shares of Stock available under the
Plan;
(ii) the number of shares available under any individual or other
limits;
(iii) the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Awards;
and
(iv) the per-share price under any outstanding Award to the extent
that
the Participant is required to pay a purchase price per share with
respect
to the Award.
|
(b) |
If
the Company is reorganized, merged or consolidated or is party to
a plan
of exchange with another corporation, pursuant to which reorganization,
merger, consolidation or plan of exchange the shareholders of the
Company
receive any shares of stock or other securities or property, or the
Company shall distribute securities of another corporation to its
shareholders, there shall be substituted for the shares subject to
outstanding Awards an appropriate number of shares of each class
of stock
or amount of other securities or property which were distributed
to the
shareholders of the Company in respect of such shares, subject to
the
following:
|
(i) |
If
the Committee determines that the substitution described in accordance
with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (b) would not be
fully
consistent with the purposes of the Plan or the purposes of the
outstanding Awards under the Plan, the Committee may make such other
adjustments to the Awards to the extent that the Committee determines
such
adjustments are consistent with the purposes of the Plan and of the
affected Awards.
|
(ii) |
All
or any of the Awards may be canceled by the Committee on or immediately
prior to the effective date of the applicable transaction, but only
if the
Committee gives reasonable advance notice of the cancellation to
each
affected Participant, and only if either: (A) the Participant is
permitted
to exercise the Award for a reasonable period prior to the effective
date
of the cancellation; or (B) the Participant receives payment or other
benefits that the Committee determines to be reasonable compensation
for
the value of the canceled Awards.
|
(iii) |
Upon
the occurrence of a reorganization of the Company or any other event
described in this paragraph (b), any successor to the Company shall
be
substituted for the Company to the extent that the Company and the
successor agree to such
substitution.
|
(c) |
Upon
(or, in the discretion of the Committee, immediately prior to) the
sale to
(or exchange with) a third party unrelated to the Company of all
or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, all Awards shall
be
canceled. If Awards are canceled under this paragraph (c) then, with
respect to any affected Participant,
either:
|
(i) |
the
Participant shall be provided with reasonable advance notice of the
cancellation, and the Participant shall be permitted to exercise
the Award
for a reasonable period prior to the effective date of the cancellation;
or
|
(ii) |
the
Participant shall receive payment or other benefits that the Committee
determines to be reasonable compensation for the value of the canceled
Awards.
|
(d) |
In
determining what action, if any, is necessary or appropriate under
the
foregoing provisions of this subsection 6.3, the Committee shall
act in a
manner that it determines to be consistent with the purposes of the
Plan
and of the affected Awards and, where applicable or otherwise appropriate,
in a manner that it determines to be necessary to preserve the benefits
and potential benefits of the affected Awards for the Participants
and the
Employer.
|
(e) |
The
existence of this Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not
affect
in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders
to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations
or
other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any
merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Company’s
Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or
business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a
similar
character or otherwise.
|
(f) |
Except
as expressly provided by the terms of this Plan, the issuance by
the
Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible
into
shares of stock of any class, for cash or property or for labor or
services, either upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or
warrants
to subscribe therefor or upon conversion of shares or obligations
of the
Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect
to
Awards then outstanding hereunder.
|
(g) |
Awards
under the Plan are subject to adjustment under this subsection 6.3
only
during the period in which they are considered to be outstanding
under the
Plan, with the determination of whether an Award is outstanding to
be made
by the Committee.
|
(a) |
Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability
to
deliver any shares of Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution
of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would
comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of
any
securities exchange or similar
entity.
|
(b) |
In
the case of a Participant who is subject to Section 16(a) and 16(b)
of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Committee may, at any time,
add such
conditions and limitations to any Award to such Participant, or any
feature of any such Award, as the Committee, in its sole discretion,
deems
necessary or desirable to comply with Section 16(a) or 16(b) and
the rules
and regulations thereunder or to obtain any exemption
therefrom.
|
(a) |
The
establishment of Performance Goals that must be satisfied prior to
the
payment or distribution of benefits under such Awards. The “Performance
Goals” that may be used by the Committee for such Awards shall be based
on
any one or more of the following, as selected by the Committee: earnings
(e.g., earnings before income taxes, or “EBIT”; earnings before income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, or “EBITDA”; earnings per share, or
“EPS”), financial return ratios (e.g., return on investment, or “ROI”;
return on invested capital, or “ROIC”; return on equity, or “ROE”; return
on assets, or “ROA”), increase in revenue, operating or net cash flows,
cash flow return on investment, total shareholder return, market
share,
net operating income, operating income or net income, debt load reduction,
expense management, economic value added, stock price and strategic
business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on
meeting
specific cost targets, business expansion goals and goals relating
to
acquisitions or divestitures. Performance Goals may be based on the
performance of the Company as a whole or any business unit of the
Company
and may be measured relative to a peer group or an index. Partial
achievement of the Performance Goals may result in a payment or vesting
corresponding to the degree of achievement. In establishing any
Performance Goals, the Committee may include or exclude special items
as
identified in the Company’s quarterly or annual earnings
releases.
|
(b) |
The
submission of such Awards and performance goals to the Company’s
shareholders for approval and making the receipt of benefits under
such
Awards contingent on receipt of such
approval.
|
(c) |
Providing
that no payment or distribution be made under such Awards unless
the
Committee certifies that the goals and the applicable terms of the
Plan
and Agreement reflecting the Awards have been
satisfied.
|
(a) |
Neither
a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of the Plan,
acquire
any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Employer
whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets,
or
other property which the Company or any Related Company, in their
sole
discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the
Plan. A
Participant shall have only a contractual right to the amounts, if
any,
payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Employer.
Nothing
contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee by the Company
or any
Related Company that the assets of the Employer shall be sufficient
to pay
