If a Participant’s status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates for any reason, any Performance Share and Performance Unit which was not Vested or did not become Vested as the result of the Participant’s termination shall be forfeited immediately.

12. TERM OF PLAN.

Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan through the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2015. All Awards which are outstanding on such date shall remain in effect until they are exercised or expire by their terms. The Plan shall expire for all purposes on December 31, 2025. The Board is authorized to extend the Plan for an additional term at any time; however, no Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan unless an extension is approved by the stockholders of the Corporation within one (1) year of such extension.

13. ACQUISITIONS.

(a) Recapitalization.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, but subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Corporation and compliance with any applicable securities laws, the Committee shall make any adjustments to the class and/or number of Shares covered by the Plan, the number of Shares for which each outstanding Award pertains, the Exercise Price of an Option, the Exercise Price of a Stock Appreciation Right, and/or any other aspect of this Plan to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under this Plan in connection with any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from the payment of a Common Stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, or reclassification or any other event which results in an increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares without receipt of adequate consideration by the Corporation (as determined by the Committee).

(b) Acquisition.

Each Award shall expire as of the effective time of an Acquisition, provided that the Committee shall, to the extent possible considering the timing of the transaction, give at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such event to any Participant who shall then have the right to exercise his or her Vested Awards (as an Award Agreement may provide) prior to or as of the effective time of such transaction, subject to earlier expiration pursuant to Sections 8 through 11, as applicable. The preceding sentence shall not apply if pursuant to the Acquisition the surviving or purchasing entity agrees to assume outstanding Awards.

All adjustments described in this Section 13 shall be made by the Committee and shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

(d) Limitation on Rights of Participants.

Except as expressly provided in this Section 13, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any reorganization, dissolution, Acquisition, merger or acquisition. Any issuance by

the Corporation or any Subsidiary of Awards shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, any Awards previously issued under the Plan.

(e) No Limitation on Rights of Corporation.

The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

14. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.

(a) Legality of Issuance.

No Share shall be issued upon the exercise of any Award unless and until the Committee has determined that:

(i) The Corporation, its Subsidiaries and the Participant have taken all actions required to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or to perfect an exemption from registration requirements of the Act, or to determine that the registration requirements of the Act do not apply to such exercise;

(ii) Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Share is listed has been satisfied; and

(iii) Any other applicable provision of state, federal or foreign law has been satisfied.

(b) Restrictions on Transfer; Representations of Participant; Legends.

Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Corporation may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates) if, in the judgment of the Corporation and its counsel, such restrictions are necessary or desirable to achieve compliance with the provisions of the Act, the securities laws of any state, or any other law. If the offering and/or sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Act and the Corporation determines that the registration requirements of the Act apply but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Participant shall be required, as a condition to acquiring such Shares, to represent that such Shares are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, except in compliance with the Act, and to make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Corporation and its counsel. Stock certificates evidencing Shares acquired pursuant to an unregistered transaction to which the Act applies shall bear a restrictive legend substantially in the following form and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the Plan or the provisions of any applicable law:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (“ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUER EITHER SUCH REGISTRATION IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT OR THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE ACT DO NOT APPLY TO SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER.

Any determination by the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 14 shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

The Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the offering or sale of Shares under the Act or any other applicable law.

(d) Exchange of Certificates.

If, in the opinion of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares issued pursuant to the Plan is no longer required, the Participant or the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but lacking such legend.

15. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.

The Committee may, from time to time, terminate, suspend or discontinue the Plan, in whole or in part, or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever including, but not limited to, the adoption of any amendment deemed necessary or advisable to qualify the Awards under the performance-based compensation exception of Section 162(m) of the Code or rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Participants who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award granted under the Plan, with or without approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, but if any such action is taken without the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders, no such revision or amendment shall:

i. Increase the number of Shares subject to the Plan, other than any increase pursuant to Section 13;

ii. Change the designation of the class of persons eligible to receive Awards; or

iii. Amend this Section 15 to defeat its purpose.

No amendment, termination or modification of the Plan shall, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect the Participant with respect to any Award previously granted to the Participant.

16. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES.

Payment of the Exercise Price for any Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan may be made in cash (in U.S. dollars) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the Committee, in its discretion, and where permitted by law:

(a) By check;

(b) By cancellation of indebtedness of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to the Participant;

(c) By surrender of Shares provided that if the Corporation is then subject to the Exchange Act, such Shares must either have been: (A) owned by Participant for more than six months (unless the Committee permits a Participant to exercise an Option by Pyramiding, in which event the six months holding period shall not apply) and have been “paid for” within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were purchased from the Corporation or a Subsidiary by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such Shares); or (B) obtained by Participant in the public market;

(d) By waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant for services rendered;

(e) With respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public market for the Corporation’s stock exists:

(i) Through a “same day sale” commitment from the Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price and any applicable withholding taxes directly to the Corporation; or

(ii) Through a “margin” commitment from the Participant and an NASD Dealer whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price and any applicable withholding taxes directly to the Corporation; or

(iii) By any combination of the foregoing and/or by any other method approved by the Committee.

17. APPLICATION OF FUNDS.

The proceeds received by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option or in any other manner with respect to any Award shall be used for general corporate purposes.

18. APPROVAL OF STOCKHOLDERS.

The Plan shall be subject to approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares present and entitled to vote at the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation following the adoption of the Plan by the Board, and in no event later than December 31, 2006. Prior to such approval, Awards may be granted but may not be exercised or settled. Pursuant to Section 15, certain amendments shall also be subject to approval by the Corporation’s stockholders.

19. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

(a) General.

Whenever Shares are to be issued under the Plan, the Corporation or a Subsidiary may require, as a condition to such issuance of Shares, the Participant to remit to the Corporation or such Subsidiary, from any source, an amount sufficient to satisfy foreign, federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under the Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy foreign, federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.

(b) Stock Withholding.

When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs a tax liability in connection with the issuance of Shares under the Plan the Participant shall be obligated to pay the Corporation or such Subsidiary the amount required to be withheld, provided that the Participant may, if subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, elect to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Corporation or such Subsidiary withhold from the Shares to be issued the specific number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.

20. RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.

The Plan shall not be construed to give any individual the right to remain in the employ of the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) or to affect the right of the Corporation (or such Subsidiary) to terminate such individual’s status as an Employee, Director or Consultant at any time, with or without cause. The grant of an Award shall not entitle the Participant to, or disqualify the

Participant from, participation in the grant of any other Award under the Plan or participation in any other plan maintained by the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

21. NOTICES.

Any notice to be provided by one party to the other party under this Plan shall be deemed to have been duly delivered to the other party (i) on the date such notice is delivered at the address provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or at such other address as the party may notify the other party in writing at any time, or (ii) on the date such notice is deposited in the United States mail as first class mail, postage prepaid if addressed to the party at the address provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or at such other address as the party may notify the other party in writing at any time. For the purposes of clause (i), the term “delivered” shall include hand delivery, delivery by facsimile, and delivery by electronic mail.

22. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Unfunded Plan.

The Plan shall be unfunded and the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to establish any special account or fund or to otherwise segregate or encumber assets to ensure payment of any Award.

(b) No Restrictions on Other Programs.

Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Corporation or any Subsidiary from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements or plans, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements or plan may be either generally applicable or applicable only to specific classes.

The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan or Award Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Delaware, in the County of the principal offices of the Corporation, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to the Plan and any related Award Agreement.

(d) Attorney Fees.

In the event that a Participant or the Corporation or any Subsidiary brings an action to enforce the terms of the Plan or any Award Agreement and the Corporation or such Subsidiary prevails, the Participant shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Corporation and such Subsidiary in connection with that action, including reasonable attorney’s fees, and all further

costs and fees, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the Corporation and such Subsidiary in connection with collection.

(e) Invalidity or Unenforceability of Any Provision.

If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provisions shall be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope to conform to applicable laws or, in the discretion of the Committee, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in effect.
