(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 employee’s death.
     Acceleration Upon Certain Events. Unless otherwise provided in an award certificate or other employee agreement, if an employee’s service terminates by reason of death, disability or retirement after age 65, all of such employee’s 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 employee’s 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 employee’s termination of service or upon the occurrence of a change in control, all or a portion of a employee’s 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 employee’s 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
