• Equity Incentive Plan The Option is a Nonqualified Option and subject to each and every provision of the Equity Incentive Plan which are incorporated by reference herein, as well as the terms and provisions set forth in this Stock Option Agreement and Notice of Grant (this “Stock Option Agreement”). The Equity Incentive Plan shall govern and be conclusive as to all matters not expressly provided for in this Stock Option Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Stock Option Agreement and the Equity Incentive Plan, the terms of this Stock Option Agreement shall govern. All capitalized terms contained herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Equity Incentive Plan. By accepting the Option you agree to be bound by the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and this Stock Option Agreement. A copy of the Equity Incentive Plan has been previously provided to you.

• Equity Incentive Plans Each stock option granted by the Company under the Company’s equity incentive plan was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plan and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan has been backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of stock options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results or prospects.

• Incentive Plans During the Term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all bonus, incentive compensation and performance based compensation plans, and other similar policies, practices, programs and arrangements of the Company, now in effect or as hereafter amended or established, on a basis that is commensurate with his position and no less favorable than those generally applicable or made available to other executives of the Company.

• Equity Incentive Awards The Executive shall be eligible to receive grants of equity-based long-term incentive awards, which may include options to purchase Company stock, performance or restricted stock units and Company restricted stock contributions to Company’s deferred compensation plan, or other equity-based awards. Such awards shall be determined in the discretion of the Board and the Executive shall be eligible for consideration for such awards in the same manner as other senior executive officers of the Company. In the event of a Change of Control in which the surviving or acquiring corporation does not assume the Executive’s outstanding equity-related awards (including options and equity-based awards granted both before and after the Effective Date) or substitute similar equity-related awards of substantially equivalent value, such equity-related awards shall immediately vest and become exercisable if the Executive’s service with the Company has not terminated before the effective date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall only apply if the Company is not the surviving corporation or if shares of the Company’s common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities or cash.

• Equity Incentives To the extent the Company adopts and maintains a share incentive plan, the Executive will be eligible to participate in such plan pursuant to the terms thereof.

• Incentive Plan During the Term, the Employee shall be eligible for incentive compensation in accordance with the following incentive plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Shortly after the beginning of each calendar year, the Company’s Board of Directors will establish a target of the Company Net Income (as defined below) for such calendar year (the “Annual Net Income Target”). In no event shall Employee earn any amount under the Incentive Plan for any calendar year during the Term unless the actual Company Net Income for such calendar year equals or exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the Annual Net Income Target for such calendar year. The threshold referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Annual Net Income Threshold.” For all purposes of this Employment Agreement, “Company Net Income” shall mean the net income of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, as adjusted to exclude (x) any extraordinary non-cash or nonrecurring non-cash charges or losses incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries other than in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to losses or expenses resulting from redemptions or repayments of indebtedness, or modifications or amendments of the Company’s credit facility, in each case net of related tax benefit, and (y) other appropriate items as determined by the Board of Directors or the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The amount payable under the Incentive Plan to Employee for each full calendar year during the Term shall equal the Base Salary actually paid to the Employee for such calendar year multiplied by the sum of the Department Performance Percentage and the Company Performance Percentage (as determined below) for such calendar year. Not later than March 15 of each calendar year, the maximum percentages for each of the Department Performance Percentage (the “Department Maximum Performance Percentage”) and the Company Performance Percentage (the “Company Maximum Performance Percentage”) shall be established by the Compensation Committee for such calendar year within a range of forty percent (40%) and sixty percent (60%); provided that the sum of such percentages shall equal one hundred percent (100%) each calendar year. If the Compensation Committee shall not timely establish either or both of the Department Maximum Performance Percentage or the Company Maximum Performance Percentage for the calendar year 2008, each of such percentages shall be fifty percent (50%).
