Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Common Stock or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Common Stock or Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Common Stock or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Stock or Voting Securities thereby increasing the percentage of the then outstanding Common Stock or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur unless the Subject Person is a Related Entity of the Company.

Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of any Option or Award that provides for a deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code, to the extent the impact of a Change in Control on such an Option or Award would subject a Grantee to additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code, a Change in Control for purposes of such Option or Award will mean a Change in Control that is also a “change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance and regulations promulgated thereunder.

4.2                               Individual Limit.

(a)                                 The number of Shares that may be the subject of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to an Eligible Individual in any calendar year may not exceed 1,500,000.  The number of Shares that may be the subject of Performance Share Units or Performance-Based Restricted Stock granted to an Eligible Individual in any calendar year may not exceed 2,000,000 (determined with respect to the number of Shares denominated in the relevant award agreements, without regard to the percentage of such Shares that may become payable based on the level of Performance Objective attained).  The dollar amount of cash that may be the subject of Performance Units granted to an Eligible Individual in any calendar year may not exceed $6,000,000 (determined with respect to the dollar amount denominated in the relevant award agreements, without regard to the percentage of such dollar amount that may become payable based on the level of Performance Objective attained).

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate grant date value of all Awards and Options granted to an Eligible Individual who is a non-employee Director in any calendar year may not exceed $500,000 (determined by multiplying the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant by the aggregate number of Shares subject to such Award or Option); provided, that, the limits set forth in this Section 4.2(b) shall be without regard to grants of Awards or Options, if any, made to a non-employee Director during any period in which

7

such individual was an employee of the Company or of any of its Affiliates or was otherwise providing services to the Company or to any of its Affiliates other than in the capacity as a Director of the Company.

4.3                               Calculating Shares Available.

(a)                                 Upon the granting of an Award or an Option, the number of Shares available under this Section 4 for the granting of further Awards and Options shall be reduced as follows:

(i)                                     In connection with the granting of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right (other than a Stock Appreciation Right Related to an Option), Restricted Stock Unit, Share Award or Award of Restricted Stock, Performance-Based Restricted Stock or Performance Share Units, the number of Shares available under this Section 4 for the granting of further Options and Awards shall be reduced by the number of Shares in respect of which the Option or Award is granted or denominated.

(ii)                                  In connection with the granting of a Performance Unit, the number of Shares available under this Section 4 for the granting of further Options and Awards initially shall be reduced by the Share Equivalent number of Performance Units granted, with a corresponding adjustment if the Performance Unit is ultimately settled in whole or in part with a different number of Shares.  For purposes of this Section 4, the “Share Equivalent” number of Performance Units shall be equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate dollar amount in which the Performance Units are denominated, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

(iii)                               In connection with the granting of a Dividend Equivalent Right, the number of Shares available under this Section 4 shall not be reduced; provided, however, that if Shares are issued in settlement of a Dividend Equivalent Right, the number of Shares available for the granting of further Options and Awards under this Section 4 shall be reduced by the number of Shares so issued.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 4.3(a), in the event that an Award is granted that, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, cannot be settled in Shares, the aggregate number of Shares that may be made the subject of Awards or Options granted under the Plan shall not be reduced.  Whenever any outstanding Option or Award or portion thereof expires, is canceled, is settled in cash or is otherwise terminated for any reason without having been exercised or payment having been made in respect of the entire Option or Award, the number of Shares available under this Section 4 shall be increased by the number of Shares previously allocable under Section 4.3(a) to the expired, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated portion of the Option or Award.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 to the contrary, the following Shares shall not become available again for issuance under the Plan (i) Shares withheld or tendered as full or partial payment of the Option Price, (ii) Shares withheld or tendered as settlement of tax withholding obligations, (iii) any Shares repurchased by the Company with the proceeds from the exercise of an Option, and (iv) the excess of the number of Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right over the number of Shares issued as a result of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right.

(d)                                 Where two or more Awards are granted with respect to the same Shares, such Shares shall be taken into account only once for purposes of this Section 4.3.  Furthermore, the Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double-counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or substitute awards), and make adjustments if the number of Shares actually delivered differs from the number of Shares previously counted in connection with an Award or Option.

5.                                      Stock Options.

5.1                               Authority of Committee.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full and final authority to select those Eligible Individuals who will receive Options, and the terms and conditions of the grant to any such Eligible Individual shall be set forth in an Agreement.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Eligible Individuals who are employees of the Company or any Subsidiary on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

8

5.2                               Exercise Price.  The purchase price or the manner in which the exercise price is to be determined for Shares under each Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement; provided, however, that the exercise price per Share under each Option shall not be less than the greater of (i) the par value of a Share and (ii) 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (110% in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten-Percent Shareholder).

5.3                               Maximum Duration.  Options granted hereunder shall be for such term as the Committee shall determine; provided that an Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it is granted (five (5) years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten-Percent Shareholder) and a Nonqualified Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it is granted; provided, further, however, that unless the Committee provides otherwise, an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) may, upon the death of the Grantee prior to the expiration of the Option, be exercised for up to one (1) year following the date of the Grantee’s death, even if such period extends beyond ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted.  The Committee may, subsequent to the granting of any Option, extend the term thereof, but in no event shall the term as so extended exceed the maximum term provided for in the preceding sentence.

5.4                               Vesting.  The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option shall become vested and exercisable; provided, however, that subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3.7, Options granted to Eligible Individuals shall become vested and exercisable no earlier than 12 months after the date of grant.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in an Agreement, to the extent not exercised, installments shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after becoming exercisable, but not later than the date the Option expires.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 5.4, the Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any Option or portion thereof at any time.

5.5                               Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of the grant) of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) granted under all other plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries (in either case determined without regard to this Section 5.5) are exercisable by a Grantee for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.  In applying the limitation in the preceding sentence in the case of multiple Option grants, unless otherwise required by applicable law, Options which were intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options according to the order in which they were granted such that the most recently granted Options are first treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

5.6                               Transferability.  No Option shall be transferrable by the Grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of an Option other than an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order (within the meaning of Rule 16a-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act), and an Option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Grantee or his or her guardian or legal representative.

5.7                               Method of Exercise.  The exercise of an Option shall be made only by giving written notice delivered in person or by mail to the person designated by the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be exercised and, to the extent applicable, accompanied by payment therefor and otherwise in accordance with the Agreement pursuant to which the Option was granted.  The exercise price for any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid in any or any combination of the following forms:  (a) cash or its equivalent (e.g., a check) or (b) if permitted by the Committee, the transfer, either actually or by attestation, to the Company of Shares that have been held by the Grantee for at least six (6) months (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Committee) prior to the exercise of the Option, such transfer to be upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or (c) in the form of other property as determined by the Committee and in accordance with applicable law, or (d) if permitted by the Committee, payment of the exercise price pursuant to a non-broker assisted “cashless exercise” procedure.  In addition, Options may be exercised through a registered broker-dealer pursuant to such cashless exercise procedures that are, from time to time, deemed acceptable by the Committee.  Any Shares withheld or transferred to the Company as payment of the exercise price under an Option shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the last business day preceding the date of exercise of such Option.  If requested by the Committee, the Grantee shall deliver the Agreement evidencing the Option to the Company, which shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and return such Agreement to the Grantee.  No fractional Shares

9

(or cash in lieu thereof) shall be issued upon exercise of an Option and the number of Shares that may be purchased upon exercise shall be rounded to the nearest number of whole Shares.

5.8                               Rights of Grantees.  No Grantee shall be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any Shares subject to any Option unless and until (a) the Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) the Company shall have issued and delivered Shares (whether or not certificated) to the Grantee, a securities broker acting on behalf of the Grantee or such other nominee of the Grantee, and (c) the Grantee’s name, or the name of his or her broker or other nominee, shall have been entered as a shareholder of record on the books of the Company.  Thereupon, the Grantee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such Shares, subject to such terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Agreement.

5.9                               Effect of Change in Control.  The effect of a Change in Control on an Option, if any, may be set forth in the applicable Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any Option granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date, no such Option may become vested or exercisable in full automatically upon a Change in Control, except (a) if such acceleration is also contingent upon a termination of Grantee’s employment or services with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or the surviving or successor entity that occurs within the two (2) year period following the Change in Control, or (b) if such acceleration occurs with respect to an Option that is not assumed, replaced, or converted by the surviving entity in any such Change in Control.

6.                                      Stock Appreciation Rights.

6.1                               Grant.  The Committee may in its discretion, either alone or in connection with the grant of an Option, grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Individuals in accordance with the Plan, the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in an Agreement; provided, however, that subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3.7, Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Eligible Individuals shall become vested and exercisable no earlier than 12 months after the date of grant.  A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted (a) at any time if unrelated to an Option or (b) if related to an Option, either at the time of grant or at any time thereafter during the term of the Option.

6.2                               Stock Appreciation Right Related to an Option.  If granted in connection with an Option, a Stock Appreciation Right shall cover the same Shares covered by the Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and shall, except as provided in this Section 6, be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Option.

(a)                                 Exercise; Transferability.  A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option (i) shall be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable, (ii) shall be exercisable only if the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price specified in the Agreement evidencing the related Option and (iii) shall not be transferable except to the extent the related Option is transferable.

(b)                                 Amount Payable.  Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right related to an Option, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined by multiplying (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last business day preceding the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right over the per Share exercise price under the related Option, by (ii) the number of Shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may limit in any manner the amount payable with respect to any Stock Appreciation Right by including such a limit in the Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right at the time it is granted.

(c)                                  Treatment of Related Options and Stock Appreciation Rights Upon Exercise.  Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option, the Option shall be canceled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, and upon the exercise of an Option granted in connection with a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Appreciation Right shall be canceled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised or surrendered.

10

6.3          Stock Appreciation Right Unrelated to an Option.  A Stock Appreciation Right unrelated to an Option shall cover such number of Shares as the Committee shall determine.

(a)           Terms; Duration.  Stock Appreciation Rights unrelated to Options shall contain such terms and conditions as to exercisability, vesting and duration as the Committee shall determine, but in no event shall they have a term of greater than ten (10) years; provided that unless the Committee provides otherwise a Stock Appreciation Right may, upon the death of the Grantee prior to the expiration of the Award, be exercised for up to one (1) year following the date of the Grantee’s death even if such period extends beyond ten (10) years from the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.

(b)           Amount Payable.  Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right unrelated to an Option, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined by multiplying (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last business day preceding the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right over the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation Right was granted, by (ii) the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may limit in any manner the amount payable with respect to any Stock Appreciation Right by including such a limit in the Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right at the time it is granted.

(c)           Transferability.  No Stock Appreciation Right shall be transferrable by the Grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order (within the meaning of Rule 16a-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act), and a Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Grantee or his or her guardian or legal representative.

6.4          Method of Exercise.  Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised by a Grantee only by giving written notice delivered in person or by mail to the person designated by the Company, specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised.  If requested by the Committee, the Grantee shall deliver the Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised and the Agreement evidencing any related Option to the Company, which shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and return such Agreement to the Grantee.

6.5          Form of Payment.  Payment of the amount determined under Section 6.2(b) or 6.3(b) may be made in the discretion of the Committee solely in whole Shares in a number determined at their Fair Market Value on the last business day preceding the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, or solely in cash, or in a combination of cash and Shares.  If the Committee decides to make full payment in Shares and the amount payable results in a fractional Share, payment for the fractional Share will be made in cash.

6.6          Effect of Change in Control.  The effect of a Change in Control on a Stock Appreciation Right may be set forth in the applicable Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any Stock Appreciation Right granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date, no such Award may become vested or exercisable in full automatically upon a Change in Control, except (a) if such acceleration is also contingent upon a termination of Grantee’s employment or services with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or the surviving or successor entity that occurs within the two (2) year period following the Change in Control, or (b) if such acceleration occurs with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right that is not assumed, replaced, or converted by the surviving entity in any such Change in Control.

7.             Dividend Equivalent Rights.

The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalent Rights to an Eligible Individual, entitling any such Eligible Individual to receive cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property equal in value to dividends or other distributions paid with respect to a specified number of Shares.  Dividend Equivalent Rights may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award.  The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid or distributed when accrued or at a later specified date and, if distributed at a later date, may be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, Awards, or other investment vehicles or accrued in a bookkeeping account without interest, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date in connection with another Award, such Dividend

11

Equivalent Rights shall be subject to the same restrictions and a risk of forfeiture as the Award with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid unless and until such Award has vested and been earned.

8.             Restricted Stock; Restricted Stock Units.

8.1          Restricted Stock.  The Committee may grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of Restricted Stock, which shall be evidenced by an Agreement.  Each Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) such Agreements may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates.  Awards of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and provisions set forth below in this Section 8.1.

(a)           Rights of Grantee.  Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award hereunder shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted provided that the Grantee has executed an Agreement evidencing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such Shares.  At the discretion of the Committee, Shares issued in connection with an Award of Restricted Stock shall be deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent (which may be the Company) designated by the Committee.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise and as set forth in the Agreement, upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow agent, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares.

(b)           Non-transferability.  Until all restrictions upon the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in the manner set forth in Section 8.1(c), such Shares shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated.

(c)           Lapse of Restrictions.

(i)            Generally.  Restrictions upon Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided, however, that subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3.7, restrictions upon Shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse no earlier than 12 months after the date of grant.  The Agreement evidencing the Award shall set forth any such restrictions.

(ii)           Effect of Change in Control.  The effect of a Change in Control on an Award of Shares of Restricted Stock, if any, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any Restricted Stock award granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date, no such Award may become vested in full automatically upon a Change in Control, except (a) if such acceleration is also contingent upon a termination of Grantee’s employment or services with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or the surviving or successor entity that occurs within the two (2) year period following the Change in Control, or (b) if such acceleration occurs with respect to an Award that is not assumed, replaced, or converted by the surviving entity in any such Change in Control.

(d)           Treatment of Dividends.  As a condition to the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee may allow a Grantee to elect, or may require, that any cash dividends paid on Shares of Restricted Stock be automatically reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock, applied to the purchase of additional Awards under the Plan or deferred without interest to the date of vesting of the associated Award of Restricted Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends with respect to any Restricted Stock Award (including Shares distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property (other than cash) distributed as a dividend) shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such dividend has been distributed and shall not be payable unless and until the applicable Restricted Stock vests.

12

(e)           Delivery of Shares.  Upon the lapse of the restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate or evidence of book entry Shares to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such Shares of Restricted Stock, free of all restrictions hereunder.

8.2          Restricted Stock Unit Awards.  The Committee may grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of Restricted Stock Units, which shall be evidenced by an Agreement.  Each such Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine; provided, however, that subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3.7, any restrictions on Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall lapse no earlier than 12 months after the date of grant.  Awards of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms and provisions set forth below in this Section 8.2.

(a)           Payment of Awards.  Each Restricted Stock Unit shall represent the right of the Grantee to receive a payment upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit or on any later date specified by the Committee equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date the Restricted Stock Unit was granted, the vesting date or such other date as determined by the Committee at the time the Restricted Stock Unit was granted.  The Committee may, at the time a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, provide a limitation on the amount payable in respect of each Restricted Stock Unit.  The Committee may provide for the settlement of Restricted Stock Units in cash or with Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the payment to which the Grantee has become entitled.

(b)           Transferability.  The Grantee shall not sell, transfer, assign exchange, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of an Award of Restricted Stock Units or any portion thereof.

(c)           Effect of Change in Control.  The effect of a Change in Control on an Award of Restricted Stock Units, if any, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date, no such Award may become vested in full automatically upon a Change in Control, except (a) if such acceleration is also contingent upon a termination of Grantee’s employment or services with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or the surviving or successor entity that occurs within the two (2) year period following the Change in Control, or (b) if such acceleration occurs with respect to an Award that is not assumed, replaced, or converted by the surviving entity in any such Change in Control.

9.             Performance Awards.

9.1          Performance Units and Performance Share Units.  The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Awards of Performance Units and/or Performance Share Units to Eligible Individuals, the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in an Agreement.

(a)           Performance Units.  Performance Units shall be denominated in a specified dollar amount and, contingent upon the attainment of specified Performance Objectives within the Performance Cycle, represent the right to receive payment as provided in Sections 9.1(c) and (d) of the specified dollar amount or a percentage of the specified dollar amount depending on the level of Performance Objective attained; provided, however, that the Committee may at the time a Performance Unit is granted specify a maximum amount payable in respect of a vested Performance Unit.  Each Agreement shall specify the number of Performance Units to which it relates, the Performance Objectives which must be satisfied in order for the Performance Units to vest and the Performance Cycle within which such Performance Objectives must be satisfied.

(b)           Performance Share Units.  Performance Share Units shall be denominated in Shares and, contingent upon the attainment of specified Performance Objectives within the Performance Cycle, each Performance Share Unit represents the right to receive payment as provided in Sections 9.1(c) and (d) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Performance Share Unit was granted, the date the Performance Share Unit became vested or any other date specified by the Committee or a percentage of such amount depending on the level of Performance Objective attained; provided, however, that the Committee may at the time a Performance Share Unit is granted specify a maximum amount payable in respect of a vested Performance Share Unit.  Each Agreement shall specify the number of Performance Share Units to which it relates, the Performance Objectives which must be satisfied in order for the Performance Share Units to vest and the Performance Cycle within which such Performance Objectives must be satisfied.

13

(c)           Vesting and Forfeiture.  Subject to Sections 9.3(c) and 9.4, a Grantee shall become vested with respect to the Performance Share Units and Performance Units to the extent that the Performance Objectives for the Performance Cycle and other terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement are satisfied; provided, however, that subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3.7, no Performance Cycle for Performance Share Units shall be less than 12 months after the date of grant.

(d)           Payment of Awards.  Subject to Sections 9.3(c) and 9.4, payment to Grantees in respect of vested Performance Share Units and Performance Units shall be made as soon as practicable after the last day of the Performance Cycle to which such Award relates or at such other time or times as the Committee may determine, but in no event later than 2½ months after the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Cycle is completed.  Subject to Section 9.4, such payments may be made entirely in Shares valued at their Fair Market Value, entirely in cash, or in such combination of Shares and cash as the Committee in its discretion shall determine at any time prior to such payment;  provided, however, that if the Committee in its discretion determines to make such payment entirely or partially in Shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee must determine the extent to which such payment will be in Shares of Restricted Stock and the terms of such Restricted Stock at the time the Award is granted.

9.2          Performance-Based Restricted Stock.  The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Awards of Performance-Based Restricted Stock to Eligible Individuals, the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in an Agreement.  Each Agreement may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates.  Awards of Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and provisions:

(a)           Rights of Grantee.  Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted or at such other time or times as the Committee may determine; provided, however, that no Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be issued until the Grantee has executed an Agreement evidencing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such Performance-Based Restricted Stock.  At the discretion of the Committee, Shares issued in connection with an Award of Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent (which may be the Company) designated by the Committee.  Except as restricted by the terms of the Agreement, upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow agent, the Grantee shall have, in the discretion of the Committee, all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares.  Each Agreement shall specify the number of Shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock to which it relates, the Performance Objectives which must be satisfied in order for the Performance-Based Restricted Stock to vest and the Performance Cycle within which such Performance Objectives must be satisfied.

(b)           Lapse of Restrictions.  Subject to Sections 9.3(c) and 9.4, restrictions upon Performance-Based Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse and such Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall become vested at such time or times and on such terms, conditions and satisfaction of Performance Objectives as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time an Award is granted; provided, however, that subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3.7, no Performance Cycle for Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be less than 12 months after the date of grant.

(c)           Treatment of Dividends.  As a condition to the grant of an Award of Performance-Based Restricted Stock, the Committee may allow a Grantee to elect, or may require, that any cash dividends paid on Shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock be automatically reinvested in additional Shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock, applied to the purchase of additional Awards under the Plan or deferred without interest to the date of vesting of the associated Award of Performance-Based Restricted Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends with respect to any Award of Performance-Based Restricted Stock (including Shares distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property (other than cash) distributed as a dividend) shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Performance-Based Restricted Stock with respect to which such dividend has been distributed and shall not be payable unless and until the applicable Performance-Based Restricted Stock vests.

14

(d)           Delivery of Shares.  Upon the lapse of the restrictions on Shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate or evidence of book entry Shares to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such Shares, free of all restrictions hereunder.

9.3          Performance Objectives

(a)           Establishment.  Performance Objectives for Performance Awards may be expressed in terms of (i) stock price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) operating income, (iv) return on equity or assets, (v) cash flow, (vi) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), (vii) revenues, (viii) overall revenue or sales growth, (ix) expense reduction or management, (x) market share, (xi) total shareholder return, (xii) return on investment, (xiii) earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), (xiv) net income, (xv) return on net assets, (xvi) economic value added, (xvii) shareholder value added, (xviii) cash flow return on investment, (xix) net operating profit, (xx) net operating profit after tax, (xxi) return on capital, (xxii) return on invested capital, (xxiii) cost per ton or cost per unit, (xxiv) total material moved, (xxv) tons shipped, (xxvi) tire life improvement, (xxvii) increased truck, dragline or shovel OEE, (xxviii) effective equipment utilization, (xxix) achievement of savings from business improvement projects, (xxx) capital project deliverables, (xxxi) performance against environmental targets, (xxxii) safety performance and/or incident rate, (xxxiii) coal pricing targets, (xxxiv) coal sales targets, (xxxv) human resources management targets, including medical cost reductions and time to hire, (xxxvi) achievement of warehouse and purchasing performance measurements, (xxxvii) leverage ratios, including debt to equity and debt to total capital, (xxxviii) individual performance criteria (other than for covered employees as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code) or (xxxix) any combination or derivative of the foregoing.  Performance Objectives may be in respect of the performance of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of its Divisions or any combination thereof.  Performance Objectives may be absolute or relative (to prior performance of the Company or to the performance of one or more other entities or external indices) and may be expressed in terms of a progression within a specified range.  In the case of a Performance Award which is intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation, the Performance Objectives with respect to a Performance Cycle shall be established in writing by the Committee by the earlier of (i) the date on which a quarter of the Performance Cycle has elapsed and (ii) the date which is ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Performance Cycle, and in any event while the performance relating to the Performance Objectives remain substantially uncertain.

(b)           Effect of Certain Events.  Any of the above Performance Objectives may be determined pre-tax or post-tax, as a ratio with other Performance Objectives, as a ratio over a period of time or on a per unit of measure, on a per-share basis (basic or diluted), and on a basis of continuing operations only. The Performance Objectives above may, but shall not be required to, be used as applied under generally accepted accounting principles, as applicable. The Committee may, at the time the Performance Objectives in respect of a Performance Award which is intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation are established, provide for the manner in which actual performance and the Performance Objectives selected will reflect the impact of specified events or occurrences during the relevant Performance Cycle, which may mean excluding the impact of one or more events or occurrences, as specified by the Committee, for such Performance Cycle so long as such events are objectively determinable. The adjustments described in this paragraph shall only be made, in each case, to the extent that such adjustments in respect of a Performance Award which is intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation would not cause such Performance Award to fail to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.

(c)           Determination of Performance.  Prior to the vesting, payment, settlement or lapsing of any restrictions with respect to any Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall certify in writing that the applicable Performance Objectives have been satisfied to the extent necessary for such Award to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.  In respect of any Performance Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of cash paid or number of Shares issued that become vested or on which restrictions lapse (and in the case of any such Award that is not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may also, in its discretion, increase such amounts or numbers).  The Committee shall not be entitled to exercise any discretion otherwise authorized hereunder with respect to any Performance Award intended to constitute Performance Based Compensation if the ability to exercise such discretion or the exercise of such discretion itself would cause the compensation attributable to such Awards to fail to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.

15

9.4          Effect of Change in Control.  The effect of a Change in Control on a Performance Award, if any, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any Performance Award granted on or after the Restatement Effective Date, no such Award may become vested in full automatically upon a Change in Control, except (a) if such acceleration is also contingent upon a termination of Grantee’s employment or services with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or the surviving or successor entity that occurs within the two (2) year period following the Change in Control, or (b) if such acceleration occurs with respect to an Award that is not assumed, replaced, or converted by the surviving entity in any such Change in Control.  In the case of clause (b), acceleration shall assume attainment of the applicable Performance Objectives at the higher of (i) the “target” level (prorated based upon the length of time within the Performance Cycle that has elapsed prior to the Change in Control) or (ii) actual achievement as of the date of such Change in Control.

9.5          Non-transferability.  Until the vesting of Performance Units and Performance Share Units or the lapsing of any restrictions on Performance-Based Restricted Stock, as the case may be, such Performance Units, Performance Share Units or Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall not be sold, assigned, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated.

9.6          Shareholder Approval.  Any Option or Award granted under the Plan which is intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, shall be subject to the approval of the material terms of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

10.          Share Awards.

The Committee may grant a Share Award to any Eligible Individual on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.  Share Awards may be made as additional compensation for services rendered by the Eligible Individual or may be in lieu of cash or other compensation to which the Eligible Individual is entitled from the Company.  The Grantee shall not sell, transfer, assign exchange, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of a Share Award or any portion thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to the underlying Shares once all restrictions and conditions included in the Share Award (if any) have been satisfied in full.

11.          Effect of a Termination of Employment.

The Agreement evidencing the grant of each Option and each Award shall set forth the terms and conditions applicable to such Option or Award upon (a) a termination or change in the status of the employment of the Grantee by the Company, a Subsidiary or a Division (including a termination or change by reason of the sale of a Subsidiary or a Division), or (b) in the case of a Director, the cessation of the Director’s service on the Board, which shall be as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time the Option or Award is granted or thereafter.

12.          Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization.

12.1        In the event of a Change in Capitalization, the Committee shall conclusively determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to (a) the maximum number and class of Shares or other stock or securities with respect to which Options or Awards may be granted under the Plan, (b) the maximum number and class of Shares or other stock or securities that may be issued upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options, (c) the maximum number and class of Shares or other stock or securities with respect to which Options or Awards may be granted to any Eligible Individual in any calendar year, (d) the number and class of Shares or other stock or securities, cash or other property which are subject to outstanding Options or Awards granted under the Plan and the exercise price therefore, if applicable and (e) the Performance Objectives.

12.2        Any such adjustment in the Shares or other stock or securities (a) subject to outstanding Incentive Stock Options (including any adjustments in the exercise price) shall be made in such manner as not to constitute a modification as defined by Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and only to the extent otherwise permitted by Sections 422 and 424 of the Code, (b) subject to outstanding Awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made only to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code or (c) subject to outstanding

Options or Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made in such a manner as not to adversely affect the treatment of the Options or Awards as Performance-Based Compensation.

12.3        If, by reason of a Change in Capitalization, a Grantee shall be entitled to, or shall be entitled to exercise an Option with respect to, new, additional or different shares of stock or securities of the Company or any other corporation, such new, additional or different shares shall thereupon be subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance criteria which were applicable to the Shares subject to the Award or Option, as the case may be, prior to such Change in Capitalization.

13.          Effect of Certain Transactions.

Subject to the terms of an Agreement, following (a) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (b) a merger or consolidation of the Company (a “Transaction”), either (i) each outstanding Option or Award shall be treated as provided for in the agreement entered into in connection with the Transaction or (ii) if not so provided in such agreement, each Optionee and Grantee shall be entitled to receive in respect of each Share subject to any outstanding Options or Awards, as the case may be, upon exercise of any Option or payment or transfer in respect of any Award, the same number and kind of stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration that each holder of a Share was entitled to receive in the Transaction in respect of a Share; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such stock, securities, cash, property, or other consideration shall remain subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance criteria which were applicable to the Options and Awards prior to such Transaction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the treatment of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to this Section 13 in connection with a Transaction may include the cancellation of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights upon consummation of the Transaction provided either (x) the holders of affected Options and Stock Appreciation Rights have been given a period of at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the consummation of the Transaction to exercise the Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (whether or not they were otherwise exercisable) or (y) the holders of the affected Options and Stock Appreciation Rights are paid (in cash or cash equivalents) in respect of each Share covered by the Option or Stock Appreciation Right being cancelled an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the per share price paid or distributed to stockholders in the transaction (the value of any non-cash consideration to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) over the exercise price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right.  For avoidance of doubt, (1) the cancellation of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to clause (y) of the preceding sentence may be effected notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan or any Agreement and (2) if the amount determined pursuant to clause (y) of the preceding sentence is zero or less, the affected Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be cancelled without any payment therefor.  The treatment of any Option or Award as provided in this Section 13 shall be conclusively presumed to be appropriate for purposes of Section 12.

14.          Interpretation.

14.1        Section 16 Compliance.  The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the Committee shall interpret and administer the provisions of the Plan or any Agreement in a manner consistent therewith.  Any provisions inconsistent with such Rule shall be inoperative and shall not affect the validity of the Plan.

14.2        Section 162(m).  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any provision of the Plan or any Agreement relating to an Option or Award that is intended to be Performance-Based Compensation does not comply or is inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder (including IRS Regulation § 1.162-27), such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements, and no provision shall be deemed to confer upon the Committee discretion to increase the amount of compensation otherwise payable in connection with any such Option or Award upon the attainment of the Performance Objective.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine whether an Award or Option is intended to be Performance-Based Compensation and may make this determination at any time, whether in connection with the grant of any Option or Award, with any subsequent amendment of a previously granted Option or Award, or in any other manner in the Committee’s discretion.

17

14.3        Compliance With Section 409A.  All Options and Awards granted under the Plan are intended either not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or, if subject to Section 409A of the Code, to be administered, operated and construed in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and any guidance issued thereunder.  Notwithstanding this or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may amend the Plan or any Option or Award granted hereunder in any manner, or take any other action that it determines, in its sole discretion, is necessary, appropriate or advisable (including replacing any Option or Award) to cause the Plan or any Option or Award granted hereunder to comply with Section 409A and any guidance issued thereunder or to not be subject to Section 409A.  Any such action, once taken, shall be deemed to be effective from the earliest date necessary to avoid a violation of Section 409A and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Eligible Individuals and other individuals having or claiming any right or interest under the Plan. To the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, if a Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and would be eligible to receive an Option and/or Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, such Grantee will not be entitled to such Option and/or Award upon a termination of his or her employment until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such Grantee’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) or (ii) the date of such Grantee’s death. Upon the expiration of any applicable 409A deferral period, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 14.3 will be paid or reimbursed to such Grantee in a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following such expired period, and any remaining payments due under this Plan will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

15.          Termination and Amendment of the Plan or Modification of Options and Awards.

15.1        Plan Amendment or Termination.  The Board may at any time terminate the Plan and the Board may at any time and from time to time amend, modify or suspend the Plan; provided, however, that:

(a)           no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall impair or adversely alter any Options or Awards theretofore granted under the Plan, except with the consent of the Grantee, nor shall any amendment, modification, suspension or termination deprive any Grantee of any Shares which he or she may have acquired through or as a result of the Plan; and

(b)           to the extent necessary under any applicable law, regulation or exchange requirement, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with applicable law, regulation or exchange requirement.

15.2        Modification of Options and Awards.  No modification of an Option or Award shall adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under the Option or Award without the consent of the Grantee.

16.          Non-Exclusivity of the Plan.

The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding any previously approved incentive arrangement or as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

17.          Limitation of Liability.

As illustrative of the limitations of liability of the Company, but not intended to be exhaustive thereof, nothing in the Plan shall be construed to:

(a)           give any person any right to be granted an Option or Award other than at the sole discretion of the Committee;

18

(b)           give any person any rights whatsoever with respect to Shares except as specifically provided in the Plan;

(c)           limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any person at any time; or

(d)           (d) be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will employ any person at any particular rate of compensation or for any particular period of time.

18.          Regulations and Other Approvals; Governing Law.

18.1        Except as to matters of federal law, the Plan and the rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

18.2        The obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Shares with respect to Options and Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

18.3        The Board may make such changes as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the rules and regulations of any government authority, or to obtain for Eligible Individuals granted Incentive Stock Options the tax benefits under the applicable provisions of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

18.4        Each grant of an Option and Award and the issuance of Shares or other settlement of the Option or Award is subject to the compliance with all applicable federal, state or foreign law.  Further, if at any time the Committee determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any federal, state or foreign law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Option or Award or the issuance of Shares, no Options or Awards shall be or shall be deemed to be granted or payment made or Shares issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions that are not acceptable to the Committee.  Any person exercising an Option or receiving Shares in connection with any other Award shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Board or Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements.

18.5        Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or any Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act and Rule 144 or other regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Committee may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to an Option or Award granted under the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to represent and warrant to the Company in writing that the Shares acquired by such individual are acquired without a view to any distribution thereof and will not be sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration thereof under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption applicable under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The certificates evidencing any of such Shares shall be appropriately amended or have an appropriate legend placed thereon to reflect their status as restricted securities as aforesaid.

19.          Miscellaneous.

19.1        Multiple Agreements.  The terms of each Option or Award may differ from other Options or Awards granted under the Plan at the same time, or at some other time.  The Committee may also grant more than one Option or Award to a given Eligible Individual during the term of the Plan, either in addition to,

19

or subject to Section 3.6, in substitution for, one or more Options or Awards previously granted to that Eligible Individual.

19.2        Withholding of Taxes.

(a)           The Company or any Subsidiary may withhold from any payment of cash or Shares to a Grantee or other person under the Plan an amount sufficient to cover any withholding taxes which may become required with respect to such payment or shall take any other action as it deems necessary to satisfy any income or other tax withholding requirements as a result of the grant or exercise of any Award under the Plan.  The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the right to require the payment of any such taxes and require that any person furnish information deemed necessary by the Company or any Subsidiary to meet any tax reporting obligation as a condition to exercise or before making any payment pursuant to an Award or Option.  If specified in an Agreement at the time of grant or otherwise approved by the Committee, a Grantee may, in satisfaction of his or her obligation to pay withholding taxes in connection with the exercise, vesting or other settlement of an Option or Award, elect to (i) make a cash payment to the Company, (ii) have withheld a portion of the Shares then issuable to him or her, or (iii) surrender Shares owned by the Grantee prior to the exercise, vesting or other settlement of an Option or Award, in each case having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding taxes.

(b)           If a Grantee makes a disposition, within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, of any Share or Shares issued to such Grantee pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within the two-year period commencing on the day after the date of the grant or within the one-year period commencing on the day after the date of transfer of such Share or Shares to the Grantee pursuant to such exercise, the Grantee shall, within ten (10) days of such disposition, notify the Company thereof, by delivery of written notice to the Company at its principal executive office.

19.3        Plan Unfunded.  The Plan shall be unfunded.  Except for reserving a sufficient number of authorized Shares to the extent required by law to meet the requirements of the Plan, the Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure payment of any Award or Option granted under the Plan.

19.4        Beneficiary Designation.  Each Grantee may, from time to time, name one or more individuals (each, a “Beneficiary”) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of the Grantee’s death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit.  Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Grantee, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Grantee in writing with the Company during the Grantee’s lifetime.  In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Grantee’s death shall be paid to the Grantee’s estate.

19.5        Effective Date/Term.  The effective date of the Plan shall be as determined by the Board, subject only to the approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the securities of the Company present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders duly held in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Delaware within twelve (12) months after the adoption of the Plan by the Board (the “Effective Date”).  The Plan shall terminate on the Termination Date.  No Option or Award shall be granted after the Termination Date.  The applicable terms of the Plan, and any terms and conditions applicable to Options and Awards granted prior to the Termination Date shall survive the termination of the Plan and continue to apply to such Options and Awards.
