The Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards were made under the Theragenics Corporation 2006 Stock Incentive Plan.  The incentive stock options have an exercise price of $3.79, equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as quoted by the New York Stock Exchange, on February 19, 2008, the date of grant.  Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards vest annually, commencing on February 19, 2009, provided the Executive remains employed with Theragenics or an affiliate.

Any unvested Stock Options become vested upon the date of the Executive’s termination of employment with Theragenics or an affiliate due to death, disability, or upon a change in control in the Company, as defined in the terms and conditions to the Stock Option Award.

3

 
Unvested Restricted Stock becomes vested pro rata based on the number of days elapsed in the vesting period upon termination of employment due to death, disability or by the Company without cause, as defined in the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award.

All unvested Restricted Stock becomes vested upon a change in control of the Company.  Any Stock Options and Restricted Stock that have not become vested as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment with Theragenics or an affiliate shall be forfeited.

Fifty percent (50%) of the Cash Bonus Opportunity will be based upon the cumulative revenue of the Company for the period 2008 to 2010 (the “Revenue Goal”), and 50% will be based upon the cumulative EBITDA of the Company for the same period (the “EBITDA Goal”), in each case as measured relative to its strategic objectives over the 2008 to 2010 period.  Cumulative threshold, target and maximum amounts have been developed, based on the Company’s strategic plan, and the 2008 Long-Term Cash Bonus Award will be measured and paid according to the following schedules:

If employment of the Executive with Theragenics or an affiliate is terminated before December 31, 2010 due to death, disability, or is terminated by the Company without cause, the Executive will be entitled to a pro rata cash bonus determined in accordance with the terms of the Award.  If employment is terminated for any other reason before December 31, 2010 (unless a change in control as defined in the Award occurs before then), the cash bonus opportunity will be forfeited.  If a change in control occurs before December 31, 2010, the cash award becomes vested at the target level, provided the Executive is employed by Theragenics or an affiliate as of the date of a change in control.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
TO THE
THERAGENICS CORPORATION 1995 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AWARD


1.           Exercise of Option.  Subject to the provisions provided herein or in the Award made pursuant to the Theragenics 2006 Stock Incentive Plan:
 
              (a)           The Option may be exercised with respect to all or any portion of the vested Option Shares at any time during the Option Period by the delivery to the Company, at its principal place of business, of (i) a written notice of exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, which shall be actually delivered to and reviewed by the Company prior to the date upon which Optionee desires to exercise of all or any portion of the Option and (ii) payment to the Company of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares being purchased (the “Purchase Price”) in the manner provided in Subsection (b).  Upon acceptance of such notice and receipt of payment in full of the Purchase Price and withholding liability, the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate representing the Option Shares purchased.
 
                              (b)           The Purchase Price shall be paid in full upon the exercise of an Option and no Option Shares shall be issued or delivered until full payment therefor has been made.  Payment of the Purchase Price for all Option Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made in cash, certified check, or, alternatively, as follows:
 
                                              (i)           by delivery to the Company of a number of shares of Common Stock which have been owned by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the date of the Option’s exercise, having a Fair Market Value, as determined under the Plan, on the date of exercise either equal to the Purchase Price or in combination with cash to equal the Purchase Price; or
 
                                              (ii)           by receipt of the Purchase Price in cash from a broker, dealer or other “creditor” as defined by Regulation T issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System following delivery by the Optionee to the Committee (defined in the Plan) of instructions in a form acceptable to the Committee regarding delivery to such broker, dealer or other creditor of that number of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.

2.           Exercise Price.  The exercise price for each Option Share shall be $3.79, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 7 below (the “Exercise Price”).

3.           Withholding.  This tax withholding section will apply only if all or a portion of the Option is not or ceases to be an “Incentive Stock Option” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code when it is exercised.  Otherwise, it does not apply.  The Optionee must satisfy his federal, state and local, if any, withholding taxes imposed by reason of the exercise of the Option either by paying to the Company the full amount of the withholding obligation (i) in cash, (ii) by electing, irrevocably and in writing in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (a “Withholding Election”), to have the actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise reduced by the smallest number of whole shares of Common Stock which, when multiplied by the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date the Option is exercised, is sufficient to satisfy the amount of withholding tax; or (iii) by any combination of the above.  Optionee may make a Withholding Election only if the following conditions are met:
 
                              (a)           the Withholding Election is made by executing and delivering to the Company a properly completed Notice of Withholding Election in substantially the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto;
 
                              (b)           the Withholding Election is delivered to the Company sufficiently in advance of the date on which the amount of tax required to be withheld is determined (the “Tax Date”) as the Committee under the Plan (the “Committee”) determines is necessary or appropriate to satisfy the conditions of the exemptions provided under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”);

 
1

 

 
 
                              (c)           any Withholding Election is irrevocably given in a manner that satisfies the requirements of the exemption provided under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act; and
 
                              (d)           if the Optionee is considered by the Committee not to be subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, the Withholding Election is made no later than the Tax Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may in its sole discretion disapprove and give no effect to any Withholding Election.

4.           Term and Termination of Option.  The Option shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Option Period, (ii) as of the time of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment by Optionee without the Company’s written consent, unless such Termination of Employment is due to the death or Disability or retirement (i.e., voluntary resignation) upon or after reaching age 65, (iii) one year following the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment by Optionee with the Company’s written consent or due to retirement (i.e., voluntary resignation) upon or after reaching age 65, (iv) one year following the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, unless such Termination of Employment is due to Cause, (v) one year following the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment with the Company or a Subsidiary due to the Optionee’s death or Disability, (vi) as of the time of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause, or (vii) as of the time any provision of Section 9 hereof applies.  Upon the expiration of the Option Period, this Option and all unexercised rights granted to Optionee hereunder shall terminate, and thereafter be null and void.

5.           Rights as Shareholder.  Until the stock certificates reflecting the Option Shares accruing to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option are issued to the Optionee, the Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to such Option Shares.  The Company shall make no adjustment for any dividends or distribu­tions or other rights on or with respect to Option Shares for which the record date is prior to the issuance of that stock certificate, except as the Plan or this Award otherwise provides.

6.           Restriction on Transfer of Option.  The Option evidenced hereby is nontransferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee (or in the event of his Disability, by his legal representative) and after his death, only by the legal representative of the Optionee’s estate.

7.           Changes in Capitalization; Merger; Reorganization.
 
                              (a)             The number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted for nonreciprocal transactions between the Company and the holders of capital stock of the Company that causes the per share value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend (each, an “Equity Restructuring”).
 
                              (b)             In the event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or other material change in the capital structure of the Company, or a tender offer for shares of Common Stock, or a Change in Control, that in each case is not an “Equity Restructuring,” the Committee shall take such action to make such adjustments in the Option or the terms of this Award as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class of securities subject to the Option, with a corresponding adjustment in the Exercise Price, substituting a new option to replace the Option, accelerating the termination of the Option Period or terminating the Option in consideration of a cash payment to the Optionee in an amount equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price of the Option Shares. Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 7(b) will be final and binding on the Optionee.  Any action taken by the Committee need not treat all Optionees equally.

 
2

 

 
                              (c)   The existence of the Plan and this Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

8.           Special Limitation on Exercise.  Any exercise of the Option is subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered by the Option upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the delivery of shares thereunder, the delivery of any or all shares pursuant to the Option may be withheld unless and until such listing, registration or qualification shall have been effected.  The Optionee shall deliver to the Company, prior to the exercise of the Option, such information, representations and warranties as the Company may reasonably request in order for the Company to be able to satisfy itself that the Option Shares being acquired are in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the securities registration requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws.

9.           Termination of Option.  In the event the Optionee breaches any provision of an agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary, which provision relates to a requirement that the Optionee not disclose confidential information or trade secrets or that the Optionee refrain from competing with the Company or a Subsidiary or soliciting its employees or customers, this Option shall be immediately terminated.  In addition, the Option shall be immediately terminated if Optionee, during the term of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, or for a period of one year thereafter, directly or indirectly:
 
                              (a)           on Optionee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicits, contacts, calls upon, communicates with, or attempts to communicate with any person or entity who was a customer of the Company, or a customer of any entity to whom the Company sells products or provides services, at any time within two (2) years preceding the applicable time, or any representative of any such customer, with the intent or purpose of selling or providing of any product or service competitive with any product or service sold or under development by the Company during the period of two (2) years preceding the applicable time and which is still being offered by or is still under the development by the Company;
 
                              (b)           employs or attempts to employ or assist anyone else in employing in any business organization of whatever form engaged, either directly or indirectly, in any business enterprise which is the same as, or substantially the same as the Business of the Company, any person who, at any time within two (2) years preceding the applicable time, was, is or shall be an employee of the Company (whether or not such employment is full-time or is pursuant to a written contract with the Company); or
 
                              (c)           provides services to any business organization of whatever form engaged, either directly or indirectly, in any business enterprise which is the same as, or substantially the same as, the Business of the Company.

10.         Legend on Stock Certificates.  Certificates evidencing the Option Shares, to the extent appropriate at the time, shall have noted conspicuously on the certificates a legend intended to give all persons full notice of the existence of the conditions, restrictions, rights and obligations set forth in this Award and in the Plan.

11.         Governing Laws.  This Award shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Georgia; provided, however, no option may be exercised except, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, in compliance with exemptions under applicable state securities laws of the state in which the Optionee resides, and/or any other applicable securities laws.

12.         Successors.  This Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

14.         Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Award shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Award, and this Award shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein.

15.         Entire Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Award expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties.  This Award may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16.         Violation.  Any transfer, pledge, sale, assignment, or hypothecation of the Option or any portion thereof shall be a violation of the terms of this Award and shall be void and without effect.

17.         Headings and Capitalized Terms.  Paragraph headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Award.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Award shall be given the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

[ ]
by delivery of a stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock that I have owned for at least six months which I will surrender to the Company with my endorsement as payment of the purchase price.  If the number of shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate exceed the number to be applied against the purchase price, I understand that a new certificate will be issued to me reflecting the excess number of shares.

Exhibit 1 – Page  1 of 3

 
 

 


If the Common Stock being acquired is not registered for issuance to and resale by the Optionee pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or successor form) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), I hereby represent, warrant, covenant, and agree with the Company as follows:

The shares of the Common Stock being acquired by me will be acquired for my own account without the participation of any other person, with the intent of holding the Common Stock for investment and without the intent of participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Common Stock and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Common Stock, nor am I aware of the existence of any distribution of the Common Stock;

I am not acquiring the Common Stock based upon any representation, oral or written, by any person with respect to the future value of, or income from, the Common Stock but rather upon an independent examination and judgment as to the prospects of the Company;

The Common Stock was not offered to me by means of publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, nor am I aware of any offers made to other persons by such means;

I am able to bear the economic risks of the investment in the Common Stock, including the risk of a complete loss of my investment therein;

I understand and agree that the Common Stock will be issued and sold to me without registration under any state law relating to the registration of securities for sale, and will be issued and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration under the 1933 Act, provided by Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) thereof and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

The Common Stock cannot be offered for sale, sold or transferred by me other than pursuant to: (A) an effective registration under the 1933 Act or in a transaction otherwise in compliance with the 1933 Act; and (B) evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with the applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions.  The Company shall be entitled to rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it with respect to compliance with the above laws;

The Company will be under no obligation to register the Common Stock or to comply with any exemption available for sale of the Common Stock without registration or filing, and the information or conditions necessary to permit routine sales of securities of the Company under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act are not now available and no assurance has been given that it or they will become available.  The Company is under no obligation to act in any manner so as to make Rule 144 available with respect to the Common Stock;

I have and have had complete access to and the opportunity to review and make copies of all material documents related to the business of the Company, including, but not limited to, contracts, financial statements, tax returns, leases, deeds and other books and records.  I have examined such of these documents as I wished and am familiar with the business and affairs of the Company.  I realize that the purchase of the Common Stock is a speculative investment and that any possible profit therefrom is uncertain;

I have had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and any person acting on its behalf and to obtain all material information reasonably available with respect to the Company and its affairs.  I have received all information and data with respect to the Company which I have requested and which I have deemed relevant in connection with the evaluation of the merits and risks of my investment in the Company;

Exhibit 1 – Page  2 of 3

 
 

 

I have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Common Stock hereunder and I am able to bear the economic risk of such purchase; and

The agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by me herein extend to and apply to all of the Common Stock of the Company issued to me pursuant to this Award.  Acceptance by me of the certificate representing such Common Stock shall constitute a confirmation by me that all such agreements, representa­tions, warranties and covenants made herein shall be true and correct at that time.

I understand that the certificates representing the shares being purchased by me in accordance with this notice shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing covenants, representations and warranties and restrictions on transfer, and I agree that a legend to that effect may be placed on any certificate which may be issued to me as a substitute for the certificates being acquired by me in accordance with this notice.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THE
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO THE THERAGENICS CORPORATION
2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

1.           Restricted Shares Held by the Share Custodian.  The Recipient hereby authorizes and directs the Company to deliver any share certificate issued by the Company to evidence Restricted Shares to the Secretary of the Company or such other officer of the Company as may be designated by the Committee (the “Share Custodian”) to be held by the Share Custodian until the Restricted Shares become Vested Restricted Shares in accordance with the Vesting Schedule.  When the Restricted Shares become Vested Restricted Shares, the Share Custodian shall deliver the Restricted Shares to the Recipient.  In the event that the Recipient forfeits any of the Restricted Shares, and the number of Vested Restricted Shares includes a fraction of a share, the Share Custodian shall not be required to deliver the fractional share, and the Company may pay the Recipient the amount determined by the Company to be the estimated fair market value therefor.  The Recipient hereby irrevocably appoints the Share Custodian and any successor thereto, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Recipient with full power and authority to execute any stock transfer power or other instrument necessary to transfer the Restricted Shares to the Company in accordance with this Award, in the name, place, and stead of the Recipient.  The term of such appointment shall commence on the date of the Restricted Stock Grant and shall continue until the Restricted Shares are delivered to the Recipient as provided above. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock is increased or reduced by a change in the par value, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, merger, reorganization, consolidation, or otherwise, the Recipient agrees that any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company issued as a result of any of the foregoing shall be delivered to the Share Custodian and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Award as if initially granted thereunder.  To effect the provisions of this Section, the Recipient shall complete an irrevocable stock power in favor of the Share Custodian in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

2.           Rights of a Shareholder.  During the period that the Share Custodian holds the shares of Common Stock subject to Section 1, the Recipient shall be entitled to all rights applicable to shares of Common Stock not so held, except as otherwise provided in this award, including the right to receive dividends paid on Common Stock notwithstanding that all or some of the Restricted Shares may not be Vested Restricted Shares.

3.           Withholding.  To the extent required by law, the Company shall have the right to require the Recipient to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirement, if any, upon the earlier of the vesting of the Restricted Shares or the effective date of an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to such Restricted Shares.  The Recipient must pay the withholding tax (i) in cash; (ii) by certified check; or (iii) by tendering shares of Common Stock which have been owned by the Recipient for at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation.

4.           Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Shares.  Except for the transfer of any Restricted Shares by bequest or inheritance, the Recipient shall not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer or hypothecation, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any part of any right, title or interest in or to any unvested Restricted Shares.  Any such disposition not made in accordance with this Award shall be deemed null and void.  Any permitted transferee under this Section shall be bound by the terms of this Award.

5.           Additional Restrictions on Transfer.  Certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares shall have noted conspicuously on the certificate a legend required under applicable securities laws or otherwise determined by the Company to be appropriate, such as:

Transfer is restricted

The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions which also apply to the transferee as set forth in a restricted stock agreement dated february 19, 2008, a copy of which is available from the Company.

 
6.
Change in Capitalization.

(a)           The number and kind of Restricted Shares shall be proportionately adjusted for nonreciprocal transactions between the Company and the holders of capital stock of the Company that causes the per share value of the shares of Common Stock to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend (each, an “Equity Restructuring”).

(b)           In the event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or other material change in the capital structure of the Company, or a tender offer for shares of Common Stock, or a Change in Control, that in each case is not an “Equity Restructuring,” the Committee shall take such action to make such adjustments with respect to the unvested Restricted Shares or the terms of this Award as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class of securities subject to the unvested portion of the Award, substituting cash or other securities, or other property to replace the unvested portion of the Award, or removing of restrictions on unvested Restricted Shares.  All determinations and adjustments made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 6(b) will be final and binding on the Recipient. Any action taken by the Committee need not treat all recipients of awards under the Plan equally.

(c)           The existence of the Plan and this Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

 
3

 

 

7.           Governing Laws.  This Award shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Georgia; provided, however, no Restricted Shares shall be issued except, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, in compliance with exemptions under applicable state securities laws of the state in which Recipient resides, and/or any other applicable securities laws.

8.           Successors.  This Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties.

9.           Notice.  Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and other communications under this Award shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the proposed recipient at the last known address of the recipient.  Any party may designate any other address to which notices shall be sent by giving notice of the address to the other parties in the same manner as provided herein.

10.           Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Award shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Award, and this Award shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein.

11.           Entire Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Award expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter.

12.           Specific Performance.  In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Award, the party or parties who are thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunction in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

13.           No Right to Continued Retention.  Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the award of Restricted Shares hereunder shall be construed as giving Recipient the right to continued employment with the Company or an Affiliate.

14.           Headings and Capitalized Terms.  Paragraph headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Award.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Award shall be given the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by reason of any actions or events in which the Participant participates in a capacity other than in his capacity as an employee of the Company or an affiliate.

3.5           “Disability” shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement then in effect between the Participant and the Company or, if there is none, Disability shall mean the inability of the Participant to perform any of his duties for the Company and its affiliates due to a physical, mental, or emotional impairment, as determined by an independent qualified physician (who may be engaged by the Company), for a ninety (90) consecutive day period or for an aggregate of one hundred eighty (180) days during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period.

IV.   CASH INCENTIVE AWARD

4.1           Amount of Cumulative Revenue Cash Award.  The cumulative revenue cash award payable at the end of the Performance Period shall be determined based upon the performance level of the Company over the Performance Period according to the following schedule:

Performance Level

Cumulative

Maximum Performance

        For purposes of the above schedule, “Cumulative Revenue” means the Company’s cumulative revenue for the Performance Period determined from the Company’s audited financial statements.  No cumulative revenue cash award is payable if the Cumulative Revenue is less than the Threshold Level.
 
        * Cash award payable will be determined by linear interpolation for Cumulative Revenue between (revenue level associated with maximum) and (revenue level associated with target) or between (revenue level associated with target) and (revenue level associated with threshold).

4.2           Amount of Cumulative Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Amortization and Depreciation (EBITDA) Award.  The EBITDA award payable at the end of the Performance Period shall be determined based upon the performance level of the Company over the Performance Period according to the following schedule:

For purposes of the above schedule, “EBITDA” means the Company’s net earnings plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization (including share based compensation) and other non operating expense, less interest income and other income, for the Performance Period and determined from the Company’s audited financial statements.  No EBITDA award is payable if the Cumulative EBITDA is less than the Threshold Level.

**  Cash award payable will be determined by linear interpolation for Cumulative EBITDA between (EBITDA level associated with maximum) and (EBITDA level associated with target) or between (EBITDA level associated with target) and (EBITDA level associated with threshold).

4.3           Determination of “Target.”  For purposes of calculating the award amount under Sections 4.1 and 4.2, “Target” shall be determined by the Board for each Participant; provided that, in the case of the employees who are Participants as of the Effective Date, the Targets are set forth on Exhibit A.

4.4           Additional Participants.  If employees other than those listed on Exhibit A hereto become Participants in the Plan, the Board will determine whether any form of proration will apply to determine his or her Cash Incentive Award.
 
        4.5           Payment of Cash Incentive Award.  The Committee shall certify the cumulative revenue and EBITDA results before any Cash Incentive Award is paid.  Except as provided in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the Cash Incentive Award will be earned and accrued and payable if the Participant is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate on the last day of the Performance Period, regardless of whether the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate before the payment date for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, a termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Participant.  Except as provided in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, any Cash Incentive Award earned by a Participant over the Performance Period shall be paid in cash in the year following the end of the Performance Period, but in no event after the 15th day of the third month of such year.

V.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
 
        5.1           Termination of Employment.  If the Company or an Affiliate terminates the Participant’s employment for Cause or the Participant resigns his employment (except as provided below) with the Company or an Affiliate before the last day of the Performance Period, the Participant shall not receive the Cash Incentive Award.  If, before the last day of the Performance Period, the Company or an Affiliate terminates the Participant’s employment without Cause, or the Participant dies while employed by the Company or an Affiliate, or suffers a Disability while employed by the Company or an Affiliate (each, a “Payment Event”), the amount of the Cash Incentive Award will be determined as of the end of the year in which the Payment Event occurs based on the following methodology unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a committee thereof):  Notwithstanding Sections 4.1 and 4.2, Cumulative Revenue and Cumulative EBITDA for the Performance Period will be projected by assuming that cumulative revenue and cumulative EBITDA for the period from the beginning of the Performance Period through the end of the year in which the Payment Event occurs continues at the same average rate through the end of the Performance Period.  (For example, if a Participant dies in 2009 and cumulative revenue from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009, is $50, Cumulative Revenue for the Performance Period will be projected to be $75, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a committee thereof).)  The amount of the Cash Incentive Award to which the Participant is entitled shall be prorated in the same proportion that the number of days elapsed from the beginning of the Performance Period through the date the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate bears to the total number of days in the Performance Period.  The amount of the Cash Incentive Award to which the Participant is entitled shall be paid in cash in the year following the year in which such Payment Event occurs, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month of such year.
 
        5.2           Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period while the Participant is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, the Participant shall be paid on the date of the Change in Control the full value of the Cash Incentive Award determined as if the Company had performed at the Target Performance Level for the duration of the Performance Period and the Participant had remained employed for the duration of the Performance Period.

VI.   MISCELLANEOUS
 
        6.1           Taxes.  The Company shall withhold the amount of taxes, which in the determination of the Company are required to be withheld under federal, state and local laws and all other applicable payroll withholding with respect to any amount payable under the Plan.
 
         6.2           No Right to Continued Employment.  Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor the participation in the Plan or any payment thereunder shall be deemed to constitute an express or implied contract of employment of any Participant for any period of time or in any way abridge the rights of the Company or an Affiliate to determine the terms and conditions of employment or to terminate the employment of any Participant with or without Cause at any time.
 
         6.3           Choice of Law.  The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the Plan, to the extent not preempted by federal law, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.
