The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock
Option shall
be determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may
be, at the
time of grant but as to Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified
Stock
Options shall be not less than 100% (110% in the case of an
Incentive
Stock Option granted to an optionee (“10% Stockholder”) who, at the time
of grant, owns Stock possessing more than 10% of the total
combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or its Parent,
if any, or its
Subsidiaries) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock at the
time of grant.
|
(ii)
|
Option
Term.
The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Board or
the
Committee, as the case may be, but no Incentive Stock Option
shall be
exercisable more than ten years (five years, in the case of
an Incentive
Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder) after the date on
which the
Option is granted.
|
(iii)
|
Exercisability.
Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and
subject to
such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Board
or the
Committee, as the case may be. If the Board or the Committee,
as the case
may be, provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option
is exercisable
only in installments, the Board or the Committee, as the case
may be, may
waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or
after the
time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors
as the Board or
the Committee, as the case may be, shall
determine.
|
(iv)
|
Method
of Exercise.
Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period
provisions
are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options may be exercised
in
whole or in part at any time during the option period by giving
written
notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of
shares of Stock
to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment
in full of
the exercise price for the Stock Options exercised, which shall
be in cash
or, if provided in the Stock Option agreement referred to in
Section
5(b)(xii) below or otherwise provided by the Board, or Committee,
as the
case may be, either at or after the date of grant of the Stock
Option, in
whole shares of Stock which are already owned by the holder
of the Option
or partly in cash and partly in such Stock. Cash payments shall
be made by
wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in
each case
payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that
the Company
shall not be required to
|
(v)
|
Transferability;
Exercisability.
No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee other
than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, except as may be
otherwise
provided with respect to a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to
the specific
provisions of the Stock Option agreement pursuant to which
it was issued
as referred to in Section 5(b)(xii) below (which agreement
may be amended,
from time to time). Except as otherwise provided in the Stock
Option
agreement relating to a Non-Qualified Stock Option, all Stock
Options
shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee
or his or her guardian or legal
representative.
|
(vi)
|
Termination
by Reason of Death.
Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee’s employment by the
Company or any Parent or Parent or Subsidiary terminates by
reason of
death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter
be exercised,
to the extent then exercisable or on such accelerated basis
as the Board
or Committee, as the case may be, may determine at or after
the time of
grant, for a period of one year (or such other period as the
Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, may specify at or after the
time of grant)
from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated
term of such
Stock Option, whichever period is the
shorter.
|
(vii)
|
Termination
by Reason of Disability.
Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee’s employment by the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of
Disability,
any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised
by the
optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination
or
on such accelerated basis as the Board or the Committee, as
the case may
be, may determine at or after the time of grant, for a period
of one year
(or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the
case may be,
may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of
such
termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated
term of
such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided,
however,
that if the optionee dies within such one year period (or such
other
period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall
specify at
or after the time of grant), any unexercised Stock Option held
by such
optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which
it was
exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year from
the date of
death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock
Option,
whichever period is the shorter.
|
(viii)
|
Termination
by Reason of Retirement.
Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee’s employment by the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of
Normal
Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter
be
exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable
at the time of
termination or on such accelerated basis as the Board or the
Committee, as
the case may be, may determine at or after the time of grant,
for a period
of one year (or such other period as the Board or the Committee,
as the
case may be, may specify at or after the time of grant) from
the date of
such termination of employment or the expiration of the stated
term of
such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided,
however,
that if the optionee dies within such one year period (or such
other
period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall
specify at
or after the date of grant), any unexercised Stock Option held
by such
optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which
it was
exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year from
the date of
death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock
Option,
whichever period is the shorter. If an optionee’s employment with the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of
Early
Retirement, the Stock Option shall thereupon terminate; provided,
however,
that if the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, so
approves at the
time of Early Retirement, any Stock Option held by the optionee
may
thereafter be exercised by the optionee as provided above in
connection
with termination of employment by reason of Normal Retirement.
|
(ix)
|
Other
Termination.
Subject to the provisions of Section 13(g) below and unless
otherwise
determined by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, at
or after the
time of grant, if an optionee’s employment by the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary terminates for any reason other
than
|
(x)
|
Additional
Incentive Stock Option Limitation.
In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair
Market Value
of Stock (determined at the time of grant of the Option) with
respect to
which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first
time by an
optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans of
optionee’s
employer corporation and its Parent and Subsidiaries) shall
not exceed
$100,000.
|
(xi)
|
Alternative
Settlement of Option.
If provided for, upon the receipt of written notice of exercise
or
otherwise provided for by the Board or Committee, as the case
may be,
either at or after the time of grant of the Stock Option, the
Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, may elect to settle all or part
of any
Stock Option by paying to the optionee an amount, in cash or
Stock (valued
at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise), equal to the
product of the
excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock, on the
date of
exercise over the Option exercise price, multiplied by the
number of
shares of Stock with respect to which the optionee proposes
to exercise
the Option. Any such settlements which relate to Options which
are held by
optionees who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act shall
comply with any “window period” provisions of Rule 16b-3, to the extent
applicable, and with such other conditions as the Board or
Committee, as
the case may be, may impose.
|
(xii)
|
Stock
Option Agreement.
Each grant of a Stock Option shall be confirmed by, and shall
be subject
to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the
Participant.
|
(i)
|
Grant
and Exercise. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either
alone or in
addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the
Plan.
|
(b) |
Terms
and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock award shall be subject
to the
following terms and conditions:
|
(i)
|
Restricted
Stock, when issued, shall either be issued in book-entry form
or will be
represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered
in the name
of the holder to whom such Restricted Stock shall have been
awarded.
During the Restriction Period, any certificates representing
the
Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions
(as defined below) shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect
that
ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions),
and
the enjoyment of all rights related thereto, are subject to
the
restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and
the Restricted
Stock agreement referred to in Section 6(b)(iv) below. Any
such
certificates shall be deposited by the holder with the Company,
together
with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, endorsed
in blank,
which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion
of the
Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions
that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in
accordance with
the Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock
agreement.
|
(ii)
|
Restricted
Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock for
all corporate purposes, and the issuance thereof shall be made
for at
least the minimum consideration (if any) necessary to permit
the shares of
Restricted Stock to be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable.
Unless
the Board or Committee determines otherwise, the holder will
have the
right to vote such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain
all regular
cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the
Board may in
its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted
Stock
and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of
a holder of
Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions
that (A)
the holder will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate
or
certificates representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction
Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements
with
respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (B) the Company
will retain
custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing
the
Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (C) other than
regular
cash dividends and other
|
(iii)
|
Upon
the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each
award of
Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable
restrictions, terms and conditions (A) all or part of such
Restricted
Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the
Restricted
Stock agreement referred to in Section 6(b)(iv) below, and
(B) any
Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock
shall become
vested to the extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto
shall have
become vested. Any such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions
that
do not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the holder
shall not
thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted
Stock and
Retained Distributions that shall have been so
forfeited.
|
(iv)

Each
Restricted Stock award shall be confirmed by, and shall be
subject to the
terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the
Participant.

Grant
and Exercise. Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone
or in addition to
or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan. The
Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the eligible
persons to
whom and the time or times at which Deferred Stock shall
be awarded, the
number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to any person,
the
duration of the period (the “Deferral Period”) during which, and the
conditions under which, receipt of the Deferred Stock will
be deferred,
and all the other terms and conditions of the awards. The
Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, may condition
the
|
(b) |
Terms
and Conditions. Each Deferred Stock award shall be subject
to the
following terms and conditions:
|
(i) |
Subject
to the provisions of the Plan and Deferred Stock agreement
referred to in
Section 7(b)(viii) below, Deferred Stock awards may not be
sold, assigned,

At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Additional
Deferral
Period referred to in Section 7(b)(vii) below, where applicable),
share
certificates shall be delivered to the Participant, or his
legal
representative, in a number equal to the shares of Stock covered
by the
Deferred Stock award.
|
(ii) |
As
determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be,
at the time
of award, amounts equal to any dividends declared during the
Deferral
Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section
7(b)(vi)
below, where applicable) with respect to the number of shares
covered by a
Deferred Stock award may be paid to the Participant currently
or deferred
and deemed to be reinvested in additional Deferred
Stock.
|
(iii) |
Subject
to the provisions of the Deferred Stock agreement referred
to in Section
7(b)(viii) below and this Section 7 and Section 13(g) below,
upon
termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary for any reason during the Deferral Period (or
the Additional
Deferral Period referred to in Section 7(b)(vii) below, where
applicable)
for a given award, the Deferred Stock in question will vest
or be
forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established
by the
Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of
grant.
|
(iv) |
The
Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, after grant,
accelerate
the vesting of all or any part of any Deferred Stock
award.
|
(v) |
In
the event of an Unforeseen Emergency of a Participant whose
employment
with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary is involuntarily
terminated
(other than for Cause), the Board or the Committee, as the
case may be,
may, at the request of the Participant, waive in whole or in
part any or
all of the remaining deferral limitations imposed hereunder
or pursuant to
the Deferred Stock agreement referred to in Section 7(b)(viii)
below with
respect to any or all of the Participant’s Deferred
Stock.
|
(vi) |
In
the event of the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death, or in
cases of an Unforeseen Emergency, the Board or the Committee,
as the case
may be, shall waive in whole or in part any or all of the limitations
imposed hereunder (if any) with respect to any or all of a
Deferred Stock
award.
|
(vii) |
In
the event of the Participant’s Retirement, Disability, death, or a 409A
Change, or in cases of an Unforeseen Emergency, the Board or
the
|

may be, may
elect to defer the receipt of an award (or an installment of
an award) for
an additional specified period or until a specified period
or until a
specified event (the “Additional Deferral Period”); provided however, that
(i) such subsequent election may not take effect until at least
twelve
(12) months after the date on which it is made, (ii) if such
subsequent
election relates to a payment not made on account of the Participant’s
death, disability or Unforeseen Emergency, the payment with
respect to
which such election is made must be deferred for a period of
not less than
five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have
been made,
and (iii) any subsequent election related to a payment described
in Code
Section 409A(2)(A)(iv) may not be made less than twelve (12)
months prior
to the date of the first scheduled
payment.
|
(ix) |
Each
Deferred Stock award shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject
to the
terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the
Participant.
|
(a)
|
Grant
and Exercise. Other Stock-Based Awards, which may include performance
shares and shares valued by reference to the performance of
the Company or
any Parent or Subsidiary, may be granted either alone or in
addition to or
in tandem with Stock Options, Restricted Stock or Deferred
Stock. The
Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine
the eligible
persons to whom, and the time or times at which, such awards
shall be
made, the number of shares of Stock to be awarded pursuant
to such awards,
and all other terms and conditions of the awards. The Board
or the
Committee, as the case may be, may also provide for the grant
of Stock
under such awards upon the completion of a specified performance
period.
|
(b)
|
Terms
and Conditions. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be subject
to the
following terms and conditions:
|
(i)
|
Shares
of Stock subject to an Other Stock-Based Award may not be sold,
assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date
on which
the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any
applicable
restriction or period of deferral
lapses.
|
(ii)
|
The
recipient of an Other Stock-Based Award shall be entitled to
receive,
currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents
with
respect to the number of shares covered by the award, as determined
by the
Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of
the award. The
Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may provide that
such amounts
(if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional
Stock.
|
(iii)
|
Any
Other Stock-Based Award and any Stock covered by any Other
Stock-Based
Award shall vest or be forfeited to the extent so provided
in the
award
|
(iv)

the event of the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death, or in
cases of an Unforeseen Emergency, the Board or the Committee,
as the case

Other
Stock-Based Award.
|
(v)
|
Each
Other Stock-Based Award shall be confirmed by, and shall be
subject to the
terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and by the
Participant.
|
(a) |
In
General. All Options and certain Restricted Stock awards, Deferred
Stock
awards, and Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan,
and the
compensation attributable to such awards, are intended to (i)
qualify as
Performance-Based Awards (as defined in the next sentence)
or (ii) be
otherwise exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section
162(m)
of the Code. Certain Awards granted under the Plan may be granted
in a
manner such that Awards qualify as “performance-based compensation” (as
such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder) and thus be exempt from the deduction limitation
imposed by
Section 162(m) of the Code (“Performance-Based Awards”). Awards may only
qualify as Performance-Based Awards if they are granted by
the Committee
at a time when the Committee is comprised solely of two or
more “outside
directors” (as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder) (“Qualifying
Committee”).
|
(b) |
Options.
Stock Options granted under the Plan with an exercise price
at or above
the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of grant
should qualify
as Performance-Based Awards.
|
(c) |
Other
Performance-Based Awards. Restricted Stock awards, Deferred
Stock awards,
and Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan should
qualify as
Performance-Based Awards if, as determined by a Qualifying
Committee, in
its discretion, either the granting of such award is subject
to the
achievement of a performance target or targets based on one
or more of the
performance measures specified in Section 9(d) below. With
respect to such
awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based
Awards:
|
(1) |
the
Qualifying Committee shall establish in writing (x) the objective
performance-based goals applicable to a given period and (y)
the
individual employees or class of employees to which such performance-based
goals apply no later than 90 days after the commencement of
such period
(but in no event after 25 percent of such period has
elapsed);
|
(2) |
no
Performance-Based Awards shall be payable to or vest with respect
to, as
the case may be, any Participant for a given period until the
Qualifying
Committee certifies in writing that the objective performance
goals (and
any other material terms) applicable to such period have been
satisfied;
and
|
(3) |
after
the establishment of a performance goal, the Qualifying Committee
shall
not revise such performance goal or increase the amount of
compensation
payable thereunder (as determined in accordance with Section
162(m) of the
Code) upon the attainment of such performance
goal.
|
(d) |
Performance
Measures. The Qualifying Committee may use the following performance
measures (either individually or in any combination) to set
performance
targets with respect to awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based
Awards: net sales; pretax income before allocation of corporate
overhead
and bonus; pre-tax income before FAS 123R expense; budget; earnings
per share; net income; division, group or corporate financial
goals;
return on stockholders’ equity; return on assets; return on net assets;
return on investment capital; gross margin return on investment;
gross
margin dollars or percent; payroll as a percentage of sales;
inventory
shrink; employee turnover; sales, general and administrative
expense;
attainment of strategic and operational initiatives; appreciation
in
and/or maintenance of the price of Common Stock or any other
publicly-traded securities of the Company, if any; market share;
gross
profits; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before
interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization; economic value-added
models;
comparisons with various stock market indices; and/or reductions
in costs.
The foregoing criteria shall have any reasonable definitions
that the
Qualifying Committee may specify, which may include or exclude
any or all
of the following items as the Qualifying Committee may specify:
extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items; effects of accounting
changes; effects of financing activities; expenses for restructuring
or
productivity initiatives; other non-operating items; spending
for
acquisitions; effects of divestitures; and effects of litigation
activities and settlements. Any such performance criterion
or combination
of such criteria may apply to the Participant’s award opportunity in its
entirety or to any designated portion or portions of the award
opportunity, as the Qualifying Committee may
specify.
|
(i)
|
any
individual, corporation or other entity or group (as defined
in Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), becomes, directly or indirectly,
the
beneficial owner (as defined in the General Rules and Regulations
of the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Sections
13(d) and
13(g) of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the then outstanding
shares
of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors of the Company; or
|
(ii)
|
the
commencement of, or the first public announcement of the intention
of any
individual, firm, corporation or other entity or of any group
(as defined
in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) to commence, a tender
or exchange
offer subject to Section 14(d)(1) of the Exchange Act for any
class of the
Company’s capital stock; or
|
(iii)
|
the
stockholders of the Company approve (A) a definitive agreement
for the
merger or other business combination of the Company with or
into another
corporation pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company
do not own,
immediately after the transaction, more than 50% of the voting
power of
the corporation that survives, or (B) a definitive agreement
for the sale,
exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of
the Company, or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation
or
dissolution of the Company; provided, however, that a “Change of Control”
shall not be deemed to have taken place if beneficial ownership
is
acquired (A) directly from the Company, other than an acquisition
by
virtue of the exercise or conversion of another security unless
the
security so converted or exercised was itself acquired directly
from the
Company, or (B) by, or a tender or exchange offer is commenced
or
announced by, the Company, any profit-sharing, employee ownership
or other
employee benefit plan of the Company; or any trustee of or
fiduciary with
respect to any such plan when acting in such
capacity.
|
(i)
|
all
outstanding Stock Options which have been outstanding for at
least one
year shall become exercisable in full, whether or not otherwise
exercisable at such time, and any such Stock Option shall remain
exercisable in full thereafter until it expires pursuant to
its terms;
and
|
(ii)
|
all
restrictions and deferral limitations contained in Restricted
Stock
awards, Deferred Stock awards and Other Stock-Based Awards
granted under
the Plan shall lapse and the shares of stock subject to such
awards shall
be distributed to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing
to the
contrary, all restrictions and deferral limitations with respect
to a 409A
Deferred Stock Award or with respect to a Participant’s Deferred
Restricted Stock Account shall not lapse under this Section
10(b) unless
the “Change of Control” qualifies as a 409A
Change.
|
(a)
|
The
Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may require each
person
acquiring shares of Stock pursuant to an Option or other award
under the
Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing,
among other
things, that the optionee or Participant is acquiring the shares
for
investment without a view to distribution
thereof.
|
(b)
|
Nothing
contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting
such other or
additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable,
including, but
not limited to, the granting of stock options and the awarding
of stock
and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements
may be
either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases.
|
(c)
|
Nothing
contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed
to confer
upon any employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary any right to
continued employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
nor
shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company
or any Parent
or Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any of its employees
at any
time.
|
(d)
|
No
later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable
in the
gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes
with
respect to any Option or other award under the Plan, the Participant
shall
pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, regarding the payment of, any
Federal,
state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld
or paid
with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Board or the
Committee,
as the case may be, tax withholding or payment obligations
may be settled
with Stock, including Stock that is part of the award that
gives rise to
the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company
under the Plan
shall be conditional upon such payment or arrangements, and
the Company or
the Participant’s employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent
permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from
any payment
of any kind otherwise due to the Participant from the Company
or any
Parent or Subsidiary.
|
(e)
|
The
Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall
be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
(without regard to choice of law
provisions).
|
(f)
|
Any
Stock Option granted or other award made under the Plan shall
not be
deemed compensation for pur-poses of computing benefits under
any
retirement plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary
and shall not
affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently
in
effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is
related to
the level of compensation (unless required by specific reference
in any
such other plan to awards under the
Plan).
|
(g)
|
A
leave of absence, unless otherwise determined by the Board
or Committee
prior to the commencement thereof, shall not be considered
a termination
of employment. Any Stock Option granted or awards made under
the Plan
