PURPOSES
The Plan is intended to assist the Company in recruiting and retaining
officers, directors and key employees with ability and initiative by enabling
such persons who contribute significantly to the Company or an Affiliate to
participate in its future success and to associate their interests with those of
the Company and its shareholders. The Plan is intended to permit the award of
Common Stock, Restricted Stock, and Phantom Stock, and the issuance of Options
qualifying as Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options as
designated by the Committee at time of grant, and SARs. No Option that is
intended to be an Incentive Stock Option however, shall be invalid for failure
to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code but shall
be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Page 4
Article III
ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall be
composed of two or more directors of the Company. The Committee shall have
authority to issue Grants and Awards upon such terms (not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Plan) as the Committee may consider appropriate. The terms of
such Grants and Awards may include conditions (in addition to those contained in
this Plan) on (i) the exercisability of all or part of an Option or SAR and (ii)
the transferability or forfeitability of Restricted Stock or Phantom Stock. In
addition, the Committee shall have complete authority to interpret all
provisions of this Plan; to prescribe the form of Agreements; to adopt, amend,
and rescind rules and regulations pertaining to the administration of the Plan;
and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of this Plan. To fulfill the purposes of the Plan without
amending the Plan, the Committee may also modify any Grants or Awards issued to
Participants who are nonresident aliens or employed outside of the United States
to recognize differences in local law, tax policy or custom.
The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Committee
shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. Any
decision made, or action taken, by the Committee or in connection with the
administration of this Plan shall be final and conclusive. All expenses of
administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company.
Article IV
ELIGIBILITY
4.01 General. Any officer, director or employee of the Company or
of any Subsidiary (including any corporation that becomes a Subsidiary after the
adoption of this Plan) who, in the judgment of the Committee, has contributed
significantly or can be expected to contribute significantly to the profits or
growth of the Company or a Subsidiary may receive one or more Awards or Grants,
or any combination or type thereof. Employee and non-employee directors of the
Company are eligible to participate in this Plan.
4.02 Grants and Awards. The Committee will designate individuals to
whom Grants and/or Awards are to be issued and will specify the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to each such Grant or Award. An Option may be granted
alone or in addition to other Grants and/or Awards under the Plan. The Committee
shall have the authority to grant any Participant Incentive Stock Options,
Non-Qualified Stock Options or both types of Options (in each case with or
without a related SAR); provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (within the
meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code). An SAR may be granted with or without a
related Option. All Grants or Awards issued under this Plan shall be evidenced
by Agreements which shall be subject to applicable provisions of this Plan and
to such other provisions as the Committee may determine. No Participant may be
granted Options that are Incentive Stock Options, or related SARs (under all
Incentive Stock Option Plans of the Company and Affiliates) which are first
exercisable in any
Page 5
calendar year for stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of
the date an Option is granted) exceeding $100,000. No Participant may receive
Grants or Awards under the Plan with respect to more than 200,000 shares of
Common Stock during any one year period, which for purposes of this Plan shall
mean the calendar year.
4.03 Designation of Option as an Incentive Stock Option or
Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Committee will designate at the time an Option
is granted whether the Option is to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option or a
Non-Qualified Stock Option. In the absence, however, of any such designation,
such Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.
4.04 Qualification of Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of
the Code. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the
Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or
altered nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be
exercised so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without
the consent of the optionee affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option
under such Section 422.
Article V
STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN
5.01 Maximum Number of Shares to be Awarded. Upon the exercise of
any Option (or tandem SAR), the award of Common Stock or Restricted Stock, or
the payment of an Award of Phantom Stock, the Company may deliver to the
Participant authorized but previously unissued shares of Common Stock or
previously issued shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company. The maximum
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan for Grants
and Awards made prior to January 1, 1996, shall be 615,000. Commencing January
1, 1996, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan
for Grants and Awards made in each calendar year shall be one and one-half
percent (1.5%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the first
business day of each calendar year. The shares of Common Stock available for
Grants and Awards under the Plan in 1996 and in each year thereafter shall be
increased by the number of shares of Common Stock available for Grants and
Awards under the Plan in previous years but not covered by Grants and Awards
under the Plan in prior years, plus any shares of Common Stock as to which
Grants and Awards under the Plan have terminated or been forfeited. In no event
shall more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock be cumulatively available for
Grants of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Subject to the foregoing
limitations, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for Grants
and Awards under the Plan is subject to adjustment as provided in Article XI. If
an Option is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason other than its
exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock allocated to the Option or
portion thereof may be reallocated to other Option, SAR, Common Stock,
Restricted Stock or Phantom Stock Grants or Awards to be made under this Plan.
Any shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited may be reallocated to other
Grants or Awards to be made under this Plan.
5.02 Independent SARs. Upon the exercise of an SAR granted
independently of an Option, the Company may deliver to the Participant
authorized but previously unissued Common
Page 6
Stock, cash, or a combination thereof as provided in Section 8.03. The maximum
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to SARs
that are granted independently of Options is subject to the provisions of
Section 5.01 hereof.
Article VI
OPTION PRICE
The price per share for Common Stock purchased on the exercise of an
Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but shall not be less than the Fair
Market Value on the date of grant.
Article VII
EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
7.01 Maximum Option or SAR Period. The period in which an Option or
SAR may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant;
provided, however that an Incentive Stock Option or related SAR shall not be
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date the Incentive Stock
Option was granted.
7.02 Transferability of Options and SARs. Non-Qualified Stock
Options and SARs may be transferable by a Participant and exercisable by a
person other than a Participant, but only to the extent specifically provided in
an Option or SAR Agreement. Incentive Stock Options, by their terms, shall not
be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and
shall be exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by the
Participant. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option or SAR shall be
liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of such
Participant.
7.03 Employee Status. For purposes of determining the applicability
of Section 422 of the Code (relating to Incentive Stock Options), or in the
event that the terms of any Grant provide that it may be exercised only during
employment or within a specified period of time after termination of employment,
the Committee may decide to what extent leaves of absence for governmental or
military service, illness, temporary disability, or other reasons shall not be
deemed interruptions of continuous employment.
Article VIII
METHOD OF EXERCISE
8.01 Exercise. Subject to the provisions of Articles VII and XII,
an Option or SAR may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to
time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Committee
shall determine; provided, however, that an SAR that is related to an Option may
be exercised only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable and when
the Fair Market Value exceeds the Option Price of the related Option. An Option
or SAR granted under this Plan may be exercised with respect to any number of
whole shares less than the full number for which the Option or SAR could be
exercised. Such partial
Page 7
exercise of an Option or SAR shall not affect the right to exercise the Option
or SAR from time to time in accordance with this Plan with respect to remaining
shares subject to the Option or related SAR. The exercise of an Option shall
result in the termination of the SAR to the extent of the number of shares with
respect to which the Option is exercised.
8.02 Payment. Unless otherwise provided by the Agreement, payment
of the Option Price shall be made in cash. If the Agreement provides, payment of
all or part of the Option Price (and any applicable withholding taxes) may be
made by the Participant surrendering shares of Common Stock to the Company or by
the Company withholding shares of Common Stock from the Participant upon
exercise, provided the shares surrendered or withheld have a Fair Market Value
(determined as of the day preceding the date of exercise) that is not less than
such price or part thereof and any such withholding taxes. In addition, the
Committee may establish such payment or other terms as it may deem to be
appropriate and consistent with these purposes.
8.03 Determination of Payment of Cash and/or Common Stock Upon
Exercise of SAR. At the Committee's discretion, the amount payable as a result
of the exercise of an SAR may be settled in cash, Common Stock, or a combination
of cash and Common Stock. No fractional shares shall be delivered upon the
exercise of an SAR but a cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.
8.04 Shareholder Rights. No participant shall have any rights as a
shareholder with respect to shares subject to his Option or SAR until the date
he exercises such Option or SAR.
8.05 Cashless Exercise. To the extent permitted under the
applicable laws and regulations, at the request of the Participant and with the
consent of the Committee, the Company agrees to cooperate in a "cashless
exercise" of the Option. The cashless exercise shall be effected by the
Participant delivering to the Securities Broker instructions to exercise all or
part of the Option, including instructions to sell a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock to cover the costs and expenses associated therewith. The
Committee may permit a Participant to elect to pay any applicable withholding
taxes by requesting that the Company withhold the number of shares of Common
Stock equivalent at current market value to the withholding taxes due.
8.06 Cashing Out of Option. The Committee may elect to cash out all
or part of the portion of any Option to be exercised by paying the optionee an
amount, in cash or Common Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock that is the subject of the portion of the Option to be
exercised over the option price times the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to the portion of the Option to be exercised on the effective date of
such cash out.
Page 8
Article IX
COMMON STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK
9.01 Award. In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the
Committee will designate persons to whom an award of Common Stock and/or
Restricted Stock is to be made and will specify the number of shares of Common
Stock covered by such award or awards.
9.02 Vesting. In the case of Restricted Stock, on the date of the
award, the Committee may prescribe that the Participant's rights in the
Restricted Stock shall be forfeitable or otherwise restricted for a period of
time set forth in the Agreement and/or until certain financial performance
objectives are satisfied as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
Subject to the provisions of Article XII hereof, the Committee may award Common
Stock to a Participant which is not forfeitable and is free of any restrictions
on transferability.
9.03 Shareholder Rights. Prior to their forfeiture in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement and while the shares are Restricted Stock, a
Participant will have all rights of a shareholder with respect to Restricted
Stock, including the right to receive dividends, warrants and rights and vote
the shares; provided, however, that (i) a Participant may not sell, transfer,
pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of Restricted Stock, (ii)
the Company shall retain custody of the certificates evidencing shares of
Restricted Stock, and (iii) the Participant will deliver to the Company a stock
power, endorsed in blank, with respect to each award of Restricted Stock.
Article X
PHANTOM STOCK
10.01 Award. Pursuant to this Plan or an Agreement establishing
additional terms and conditions, the Committee may designate employees to whom
Awards of Phantom Stock may be made and will specify the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by the Award.
10.02 Vesting. The Committee may prescribe such terms and conditions
under which a Participant's right to receive payment for Phantom Stock shall
become vested.
10.03 Shareholder Rights. A Participant for whom Phantom Stock has
been credited generally shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with
respect to such Phantom Stock. However, a plan or Agreement for the use of
Phantom Stock may provide for the crediting of a Participant's Phantom Stock
account with cash or stock dividends declared with respect to Common Stock
represented by such Phantom Stock.
10.04 Payment. At the Committee's discretion, the amount payable to
a Participant for Phantom Stock credited to his account shall be made in cash,
Common Stock or a combination of both.
Page 9
10.05 Nontransferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee
in an Agreement, any Phantom Stock awarded under this Plan shall be
nontransferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Article XI
ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK
Should the Company effect one or more (x) stock dividends, stock
split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in
capitalization; (y) spin-offs, spin-outs, split-ups, split-offs, or other such
distribution of assets to shareholders; or (z) direct or indirect assumptions
and/or conversions of outstanding Options due to an acquisition of the Company,
then the maximum number of shares as to which Grants and Awards may be issued
under this Plan shall be proportionately adjusted and their terms shall be
adjusted as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required. Any
determination made under this Article XI by the Committee shall be final and
conclusive.
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 or 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 any
Grant or Award.
Article XII
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES
No Grant shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be issued, no
certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall
be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable Federal and
state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax
requirements) and the rules of all domestic stock exchanges on which the
Company's shares may be listed or NASDAQ. The Company may rely on an opinion of
its counsel as to such compliance. Any share certificate issued to evidence
Common Stock for which a Grant is exercised or an Award is issued may bear such
legends and statements as the Committee may deem advisable to assure compliance
with Federal and state laws and regulations. No Grant shall be exercisable, no
Common Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares shall be delivered, and
no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Company has obtained such
consent or approval as the Committee may deem advisable from regulatory bodies
having jurisdiction over such matters.
Article XIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.01 Effect on Employment. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its
operation, nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part
thereof) shall confer upon any
Page 10
employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary or
in any way affect any right and power of the Company or a Subsidiary to
terminate the employment of any employee at any time with or without assigning a
reason therefor.
13.02 Unfunded Plan. The Plan, insofar as it provides for a Grant or
an award of Phantom Stock, is not required to be funded, and the Company shall
not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by a
Grant or an Award of Phantom Stock under this Plan.
13.03 Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control:

Stock which is not presently exercisable and vested as of a Change of Control
Date shall become fully exercisable and vested to the full extent of the
original grant upon such Change of Control Date.
(b) The restrictions applicable to any outstanding Restricted Stock
shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall become free of all restrictions and
become fully vested, nonforfeitable and transferable to the full extent of the
original grant. The Committee may also provide in an Agreement that a

Change of Control Date, to receive, in exchange for shares that were Restricted

Stock and Restricted Stock awards, (ii) materially increases the benefits to
Participants under the Plan, or (iii) materially changes the requirements as to

amendment made to cause the Plan or a Grant or Award to qualify for the Rule
16b-3 exemption.
13.06 Duration of Plan. No Grant or Award may be issued under this
Plan before November 1, 1991, or after October 31, 2000. Grants and Awards
