awarded by the Board to participants of the Company chosen by the Board
in its sole discretion. The amount of each award shall be subject to

awarded pursuant to Incentive Stock Grant shall be considered vested or
forfeited on the January 1st following completion of the third
successive calendar year specified by the Board.
6.1.13 Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria shall be
set by the Board. The Performance Criteria shall be the same for each

during the first year of the performance period specified by the Board.
6.1.14 Performance in Excess of 100% of Incentive Stock Grant.
The Board may establish Performance Criteria in amounts that exceed 100%

awarded by a Grant, any and all amounts in excess of 100% shall be paid
in cash to the Grantee based upon the Fair Market Value of the Stock on
the date Incentive Stock Grant Vests. For the purposes hereof, "Fair
Market Value" shall be as determined by the Board and such determination
shall be binding upon the Company and upon the Grantee. The Board may
make such determination: (i) in the case of Stock not then listed and
traded upon a recognized securities exchange, upon the basis of the mean
between the closing bid and asked quotations for such stock on the date
the Incentive Stock Grants vest (as reported by the Wall Street Journal
"NASDAQ Bid and Asked Quotations" National Market Listings or as
reported by NASDAQ if not reported in the Wall Street Journal) or in the
event that there shall be no bid or asked quotations on such date, then
upon the basis of the bid and asked quotations nearest preceding such
date, or (ii) in the case the Stock shall then be listed and traded upon
a recognized securities exchange, upon the basis of the mean between the
highest and lowest selling prices at which shares of Stock were traded
on such recognized securities exchange on the date the Incentive Stock
Grants vest, as reported in the Wall Street Journal or, if the Stock was
not traded on said date, the date nearest preceding such date, and (iii)
upon any other factors which the Board shall deem appropriate.
6.1.15 Notwithstanding the foregoing:
6.1.16 Termination of Employment. Upon termination of a
Xxxxxxx's employment with the Company or with any of its Subsidiaries

Company's rights, duties and obligations under the Incentive Stock Grant
shall be terminated and the Incentive Stock Grant shall be forfeited.

Incentive Stock Grant shall have been awarded shall die or become
disabled while he shall be employed by the Company or one or more of its

disability shall be deemed to be a Qualified Contingent Vesting Event.

whom an Incentive Stock Grant shall have been awarded shall retire upon
or after the age of 65, such Incentive Stock Grant held by such retired
Grantee shall thereupon be vested in accordance with the provisions of

Contingent Vesting Event. In the event Grantee retires prior to age 65,
the Incentive Stock Grant may become vested in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6.2.5 upon the approval of the Board in its sole
discretion; and upon such approval by the Board said retirement shall be
deemed to be a Qualified Contingent Vesting Event. If the Grantee

Change in Control of the Company, such Incentive Stock Grants shall
thereupon be vested in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2.5,

resulting in the Change in Control.

Sections 6.2.4.2, 6.2.4.3, and 6.2.4.4 the Incentive Stock Grants shall
vest upon the occurrence of a Qualified Contingent Vesting Event, in
accordance with the terms set forth below.
6.1.21 If a Qualified Contingent Vesting Event occurs prior to
the completion of the first year of the performance period specified by
the Board, all of the Incentive Stock
Grants shall be forfeited and none of the Incentive Stock Grants
shall thereafter become vested in the Grantee.
6.1.22 If a Qualified Contingent Vesting Event occurs after the
completion of the first year of the performance period specified by the
Board but prior to the completion of the second year of the performance
period specified by the Board, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive
one-third (1/3) of the Incentive Stock Grant that would vest if the
Performance Criteria was applied to the financial results of the Company
for the first fiscal year of the performance period. All other
Incentive Stock Grants not vested pursuant to the provisions of the
preceding sentence shall be forfeited.
6.1.23 If a Qualified Contingent Vesting Event occurs after the
completion of the second year of the performance period specified by the
Board, but prior to the completion of the third year of the performance
period specified by the Board, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive
100% of the Incentive Stock Grant that would vest if the Performance
Criteria was applied to the financial results of the Company for the
first and second fiscal years of the performance period. All other
Incentive Stock Grants not vested pursuant to the provisions of the
preceding sentence shall be forfeited.
7. Delivery of Stock. Stock and any cash payments (if applicable) to be
delivered to a Grantee pursuant to the vesting of a Grant, shall be delivered
to the Grantee within 90 days of the date the Grant vests. In the event that a
Grantee is unable to accept the Stock due to death, disability or otherwise,
the Stock and any cash payments (if applicable) shall be delivered to the
Grantee's Successor.
8. Fractional Shares. No factional shares of Stock shall be issued to any
participant pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The vesting of any Grant shall
be rounded to the nearest whole share. In the event that 50% or more of a
share shall vest pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Participant shall be
vested with the next whole share; to the extent that less than 50% of a share
shall vest, the participant shall rounded down to the next whole share and the
percentage of the share shall be disregarded.
9. Shareholder Rights. Neither a Grantee nor his Successor shall have any of
the rights of a shareholder (including but not limited to voting or dividend
rights) of the Company until the Grants have vested and the stock certificates
evidencing the shares awarded by the Grants are properly delivered to such
Grantee or his Successor; provided, however, that the Grantee shall be entitled
to receive a cash payment (in the form of a bonus or death benefit) from the
Company equal to the amount of any dividends which would have been payable on
the Stock if the Stock had been issued to the Grantee on the date the Grant
vested.
10. No Alteration of Employment Terms. The Grant to an eligible person does
not alter in any way the Company's or the relevant Subsidiary's existing rights
to terminate such person's employment at any time for any reason, nor does it
confer upon such person any rights or privileges except as specifically
provided for in the Plan.
11. Adjustments. In the event that the outstanding shares of Stock of the
Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of
another corporation, by reason of a recapitalization, reclassification, stock
split-up, combination of shares, or dividend or other distribution payable in
capital stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board in the number
and kind of shares as to which Grants may be made under the Plan. In addition,
there shall be appropriate adjustments made in the number and kind of shares of
Stock as to which outstanding Grants shall be issued, to the end that the
proportionate interest of the holder of the Grant shall, to the extent
practicable, be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Such
adjustment in outstanding Grants shall be made through a change in the total
number or kind of shares awarded in the Grant.
12. Restrictions on Issuing Shares. The issuance of Stock pursuant to the
vesting of a Grant shall be subject to the condition that, if at any time the
Company shall determine in its discretion that the satisfaction of withholding
tax or other withholding liabilities, or that the listing, registration, or
qualification of any shares otherwise deliverable upon such exercise upon any
securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or that the consent or
approval of any regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of,
or in connection with, the delivery of the Stock pursuant thereto, then in any
such event, such delivery shall be deferred until such time as such
withholding, listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall
have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the
Company.
13. Suspension and/or Termination of Plan. The Board may at any time suspend
or terminate the Plan. Unless previously terminated by the Board, no further
Grants shall be awarded under the Plan after December 31, 1995. No Grants may
be awarded during any suspension or termination of the Plan. No suspension or
termination of the Plan shall, without a Grantee's consent, alter or impair any
of the rights or obligations under any Grant theretofore awarded to such
Grantee under the Plan.
14. Nontransferability of Grants. No Grant awarded under the Plan shall be
transferable otherwise than by bequest or by laws of descent and distribution,
and during the lifetime of the Grant only the Grantee or Xxxxxxx's Successor
may receive stock or cash from the Grant.
15. Effectiveness of the Plan. The Plan shall become effective only after the
Board shall, by the affirmative vote of a majority of its members, have
approved the Plan.
16. Time of Awarding Grants. Nothing contained in the Plan nor in any
resolution adopted or to be adopted by the Board of Directors or the
stockholders of the Company nor any action taken by the Board shall constitute
a Grant. A Grant shall take place only when a written Agreement is duly
executed by the Company and the Grantee to whom such Xxxxx shall be awarded.
ADMINISTRATIVE RULES
FOR XXXXXXX XXXXX, INC.
LONG-TERM STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
1. Definitions. Those terms defined in the Plan shall have the same meaning
when used in these Rules.
2. Withholding Taxes. Prior to issuing any Stock pursuant to the terms of a
Grant, a Grantee shall be required to make adequate provisions for the
withholding of any and all applicable State, Federal and local taxes
(hereinafter "Withholding Taxes"). The manner in which Withholding Taxes shall
be remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities shall be by a cash payment to
the Company from the Grantee in an amount equal to the amount of Withholding
Taxes that must be remitted to the respective taxing authorities unless the
Grantee elects to pay the withholding taxes pursuant to an alternative method
described in either Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof. After the Grantee determines
whether the alternative method will apply, the Board, in its sole discretion,
shall determine which alternative method is applied to the particular Grantee.
2.1 Loan. The Grantee may obtain a loan from the Company or one of the
Company's subsidiaries in an amount equal to the amount of Withholding Taxes
that must be remitted to the respective taxing authorities. Any loan to a
Grantee must be made with interest payable at prime and the loan being due and
payable on December 31 of the year in which the withholding taxes are due and
payable. All loans made to a Grantee must comply with all federal and
applicable state banking laws. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall
require any subsidiary of the Company to make a loan to a Grantee.
2.2 Exchange of Stock. The Grantee may exchange the right to receive a
portion of the Stock issuable pursuant to a Grant for an amount of cash equal
in value to the amount of Withholding Taxes that must be remitted to the
respective taxing authorities based upon the Fair Market Value of the Stock at
the time of withholding.
3. Performance Criteria. The performance criteria established by the Board
shall have the following meanings and shall be interpreted in accordance with
the following rules.
3.1 "Average Annual Earnings Per Share Growth (EPS)" shall be determined
by dividing the sum of the "Annual Percentage Growth Rates in EPS" for each of
the years contained in the performance period by the total number of years in
the performance period.
3.2 "Annual Percentage Growth Rates in EPS" shall mean annual percentage
growth in the Company's Earnings Per Share (for consolidated financial
reporting purposes) after the effect of adjusting earnings for the financial
statement expense of Grants under the Plan pursuant to Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.
3.3 "Earnings Per Share" shall be the primary earnings per share of the
Company for consolidated financial reporting purposes.
The following example shall illustrate the definitions set forth above:
During the years 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994 the Company's Earnings Per
Share are $1.80, $2.10, $2.31 and $2.60 respectively. After adjustment
for the financial statement expense of Grants under the Plan, the
Company's earnings per share are $1.80, $1.90, $2.20 and $2.40 for 1991,
1992, 1993 and 1994 respectively. The Annual Percentage Growth Rate in
EPS for 1992 is computed by subtracting the 1991 adjusted earning per
share ($1.80) from the adjusted 1992 earning per share ($1.90) and
dividing that number by the 1991 adjusted earning per share ($1.80).
Therefore, the Annual Percentage Growth Rate in EPS for 1992 is 5.55%.
The Annual Percentage Growth Rate in EPS for 1993 and 1994 (computed in
the same manner) is 15.78% and 9.09% respectively. The Average Annual
Earning Per Share Growth for the years 1992, 1993 and 1994 is 10.13%
((5.55 + 15.78 + 9.09)/3)
4. Restricted Stock Grants - Vesting and Forfeiture Rules. The following
examples are intended to act as an illustration of the Board's intentions with
respect to Restrictive Stock Grant awards pursuant to the Plan. All of the
examples set forth below are based upon the following facts:
Employee X is granted a restricted stock Grant in 1992. The terms of
the Grant entitle the employee to receive 100 shares of Stock if the X
is employed with the Company or any Subsidiary on January 1, 1995.
4.1 Death or Disability. On June 15, 1992, Employee X becomes disabled
or dies. Employee X becomes fully vested in the 100 shares of Stock.
4.2 Termination. On November 15, 1994, Employee X is terminated by the
Company. Because Employee X is not employed by the Company on January 1, 1995
and has not been continuously employed by Company the for three consecutive
years, none of the Restricted Stock Grants shall vest.
5. Incentive Stock Grants - Vesting and Forfeiture Rules. The following
examples are intended to act as an illustration of the Board's intentions with
respect to Incentive Stock Grants awarded pursuant to the Plan. All of the
examples set forth below are based upon the following facts:
Employee X is granted an Incentive Stock Grant in 1992. The terms of
the Grant entitle the employee to receive up to 100 shares of Stock if
(1) X is employed with the Company or any Subsidiary on January 1, 1995;
and (2) the Company meets or exceeds certain Performance Criteria. The
Performance Criteria adopted by the Board specify that if the Average
Earnings Per Share Growth of the Company's Stock is below 7.50% - none
of the Incentive Stock Grants will vest; if the Average Earnings Per
Share Growth of the Company's Stock is from 7.50% to 8.74% - 50% of the
Incentive Stock Grants will vest; if the Average Earnings Per Share
Growth of the Company's Stock is from 8.75% to 9.99% - 75% of the
Incentive Stock Grants will vest; if the Average Earnings Per Share
Growth of the Company's Stock is from 10.00% to 11.99% - 100% of the
Incentive Stock
Grants will vest. The Company's Earnings Per Share Growth for the
years 1992, 1993 and 1994 are 10.00%, 9.25% and 7.25% respectively.
5.1 Achievement of Company performance goals. Employee X continues to
work for the Company through January 1, 1995. The Average Earnings Per Share is
8.83% ((10% + 9.25% + 7.25%)/3). Therefore, in January of 1995, Employee X
will have 75% of the Stock granted pursuant to the Incentive Stock Grant
vested. The number of shares that will be delivered to Employee X is
determined by multiplying the percentage of vested Incentive Stock Grants by
the total number of shares Granted in the Incentive Stock Grant (75% X 100
shares = 75 shares).
5.2 Qualified Contingent Vesting Event - Year Two of the Performance
Period. Employee X continues to be employed by the Company through June 1,
1993, at which time a Qualified Contingent Vesting Event occurs. On June 1,
1993, the Company would apply the performance criteria to the financial results
of the Company for the first fiscal year - 1992. The Average Earning Per Share
as of December 31, 1992 would be 10% (10%/1). A 10% Average Earnings Per Share
will result in 100% of the Incentive Stock Grant vesting. However, pursuant to
Section 6.2.5.2. of the Plan, only one-third (1/3) of the Incentive Stock
Grants will vest if the Qualified Contingent Vesting Event occurs during the
second year of performance period. Therefore, the number of shares that will
be delivered to Employee X is determined by multiplying the percentage of
vested Incentive Stock Grants pursuant to measurement via Performance Criteria
by the total number of shares Granted in the Incentive Stock Grant and by one-
third (100% X 100 shares X 1/3 = 33 shares).
5.3 Qualified Contingent Vesting Event - Year Three of the Performance
Period. Employee X continues to be employed by the Company through June 1,
1994, at which time a Qualified Contingent Vesting Event occurs. On June 1,
1994, the Company would apply the performance criteria to the financial results
of the Company for the first and second fiscal years - 1992 and 1993. The
Average Earning Per Share would be 9.625% ((10% + 9.25%)/2). A 9.625% Average
Earnings Per Share will result in 75% of the Incentive Stock Grant vesting.
Pursuant to Section 6.2.5.3. of the Plan, 100% of the Incentive Stock Grants
will vest if the Qualified Contingent Vesting Event occurs during the third
year of the performance period. Therefore, the number of shares that will be
delivered to Employee X is determined by multiplying the percentage of vested
Incentive Stock Grants pursuant to measurement via Performance Criteria by the
total number of shares Granted in the Incentive Stock Grant (75% X 100 shares =
75 shares).
