(cash flow, cash generation or other cash measures); stock price or performance; total stockholder
return (stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends divided by beginning share price);
return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, equity, or sales, and
cash flow return on assets, capital, equity, or sales); market share; improvements in capital
structure; expenses (expense management, expense ratio, expense efficiency ratios or other expense
measures); business expansion or consolidation (acquisitions and divestitures); internal rate of
return or increase in net present value; working capital targets relating to inventory and/or
accounts receivable; or planning accuracy (as measured by comparing planned results to actual
results).
The Compensation Committee must establish such goals within the first quarter of the period
for which such performance goal relates (or such later date as may be permitted under applicable
tax regulations) and the Compensation Committee may for any reason reduce (but not increase) any
award, notwithstanding the achievement of a specified goal.
Limitations on Transfer; Beneficiaries. No award will be assignable or transferable by an
employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (except in the case of an
incentive stock option) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Compensation Committee may, but need not, permit other transfers where the it
concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not
cause any option intended to be an incentive stock option to fail to qualify as such, and (iii) is
otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account any factors deemed relevant, including,
without limitation, state or federal tax or securities laws applicable to transferable awards. An
employee may, in the manner determined by the Compensation Committee, designate a beneficiary to
exercise the rights of the employee and to receive any distribution with respect to any award upon
the employees death.
Acceleration Upon Certain Events. Unless otherwise provided in an award certificate or
other employee agreement, if an employees service terminates by reason of death, disability or
retirement after age 65, all of such employees outstanding options, stock appreciation rights and
other awards that may be exercised will become fully exercisable, all time-based vesting
restrictions on his or her outstanding awards will lapse, and the target payout opportunities
attainable under such employees outstanding performance-based equity awards will be deemed to have
been fully earned as of the date of termination based upon an assumed achievement of all relevant
performance goals at the target level and there will be a pro rata payout in cash or equity, as
appropriate, to the employee or his or her estate within thirty (30) days following the date of
termination based upon the length of time within the performance period that has elapsed prior to
the date of termination. In addition, the Compensation Committee may determine that any
performance-based criteria with respect to cash awards held by such person will be deemed wholly or
partially satisfied as of the date of death, disability or retirement.
In addition, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that upon an
employees termination of service or upon the occurrence of a change in control, all or a portion
of a employees options, SARs and other awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised will
terminate and expire or become fully or partially exercisable, that all or a part of the
restrictions on all or a portion of a employees outstanding awards will lapse, and/or that any
performance-based criteria with respect to any awards held by a employee will be deemed to be
wholly or partially satisfied, in each case, as of such date as the Compensation Committee may, in
it sole discretion declare. The Compensation Committee may discriminate among employees or among
awards in exercising such discretion.
Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a dividend payable in shares of common stock,
or a combination or consolidation of the common stock into a lesser number of shares, the share
authorization limits under the Plan will automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the shares
then subject to each award will automatically be adjusted proportionately without any change in the
aggregate purchase price for such award. If the Company is involved in another corporate
transaction or event that affects the common stock, such as an extraordinary cash dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or
exchange of shares, the share authorization limits under the plan will be adjusted proportionately,
and the Compensation Committee may adjust outstanding awards to preserve the benefits or potential
benefits of the awards.
Termination and Amendment. The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may, at any
time and from time to time, terminate or amend the Plan, but if an amendment to the Plan would
materially increase the benefits accruing to employees, materially increase the number of shares of
stock issuable, expand the types of awards that may be granted, materially expand the class of
eligible employees, materially extend the term of the Plan or otherwise constitute a material
change requiring stockholder approval under applicable listing requirements or laws, then such
