MANPOWER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
(1)Basis of Presentation
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's latest
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995.
(2)Accounting Policies
Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and
the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired. Trademarks are amortized on a straight-line
basis over their useful lives. The excess of cost over
the fair value of net assets acquired is amortized on a
straight-line basis over its useful life, estimated
based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each
individual acquisition, ranging from five to twenty
years.
(3)Operational Results
The information furnished reflects all adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for
a fair statement of the results of operations for the
periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature.
(4)Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes has been computed using
the estimated annual effective tax rate, based on
currently available information.
(5)Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement
On April 1, 1996, the Company entered into a $275
million unsecured revolving credit agreement which
includes a $60 million commitment to be used
exclusively for standby letters of credit. The
interest rate and facility fee payable on the total
line vary based upon the Company's financial
performance, debt rating, and borrowing level, and are
currently at LIBOR plus .225% and .125%, respectively.
The facility matures on May 15, 1999, but may be
extended for an additional two years with the lenders'
consent. The agreement requires, among other things,
that the Company comply with minimum tangible net worth
levels and interest coverage and debt-to-capitalization
ratios. This agreement replaced the Company's $240
million unsecured revolving credit agreement.
(6)Interest and Other Expenses
The Company recorded an $8.5 million gain on proceeds
received in April from an equity interest and note
related to the sale of Blue Arrow Personnel Services
Limited in 1991. The Company had previously deferred
recognition of the equity interest and the note due to
uncertainties regarding their eventual realization.
(7)Acquisitions of Businesses
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company
acquired Teamwork Sverige AB, the largest employment
services organization in Sweden, and several United
States franchises. The consolidated financial
statements include the operating results of each
business from the date of acquisition. Pro forma
results of operations have not been presented because
the effects of these acquisitions were not significant.
The total consideration for these acquisitions was
$38.7 million.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Operating Results - Three Months Ended September 30,
1996 and 1995
Third quarter 1996 revenues increased 11.4% to $1,694.5
million. Revenues were negatively impacted 2.1% due to
changes in currency exchange rates between years.
Volume, as measured by billable hours of branch
operations, increased 11.2% in the quarter. Almost all
of the Company's major markets experienced revenue
increases, including the United States (16.1%),
Manpower-United Kingdom (7.5% in Pound Sterling) and
France (9.0% in French Francs).
Cost of services, which consists of payroll and related
expenses of temporary workers, decreased as a
percentage of revenues to 81.4% in the third quarter of
1996, from 81.7% in the third quarter of 1995. This
decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in
payroll tax and insurance costs in certain of the
Company's major markets.
Selling and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of revenue to 14.1% in the third quarter of
1996, from 13.4% in 1995. This increase is primarily
due to the decline in revenue growth in France without
a proportional decline in expense growth. Excluding
the impact of changes in foreign currency, selling and
administrative expenses increased 18.8% for the
quarter.
Net interest and other was $603,000 of expense in the
third quarter of 1996, compared to $2.4 million of
expense in the third quarter of 1995. This change is
primarily the result of a decrease in net interest
expense to $0.2 million in the third quarter of 1996,
from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 1995. This
decrease is due to lower worldwide borrowing levels as
the Company converted its subordinated convertible
debentures in October of 1995 and a slight increase in
investment income.
The Company provided income taxes at an estimated rate
of 31.5% during the third quarter of 1996. This rate
reflects an adjustment made during the quarter to
record the nine-month provision at the expected annual
effective rate for 1996. The Company's effective
income tax rate for 1995 was 38.5%.
Operating Results - Nine Months Ended September 30,
1996 and 1995
Revenues for the first nine months of 1996 increased
9.1% to $4.5 million. Revenues were negatively
impacted 2.2% for the nine-month period due to changes
in currency exchange rates between years. Volume, as
measured by billable hours of branch operations,
increased 8.5% for the nine-month period. Almost all
of the Company's major markets experienced revenue
increases, including the United States (13.7%),
Manpower-United Kingdom (10.4% in Pound Sterling), and
France (3.1% in French Francs). The low revenue growth
in France reflects the low growth rates in the first
and second quarters, which were expected after the
record revenue levels of 1995 and the economic slowdown
in France which started in late 1995.
Cost of services, which consists of payroll and related
expenses of temporary workers, decreased as a
percentage of revenues to 81.4% in 1996 from 81.9% in
1995. This decrease is primarily attributable to a
decrease in payroll tax and insurance costs in certain
of the Company's major markets.
Selling and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of revenues to 14.9% in the first nine
months of 1996, from 14.3% in 1995. This increase is
primarily due to the decline in revenue growth in
France without a proportional decline in expense
growth. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign
currency, selling and administrative expenses increased
16.4% for the nine-month period.
Net interest and other was $8.4 million of income in
the first nine months of 1996, compared to $8.4 million
of expense in the first nine months of 1995. During
the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded an
$8.5 million gain on proceeds received from an equity
interest and note related to the sale of Blue Arrow
Personnel Services Limited in 1991. The Company had
previously deferred recognition of the equity interest
and the note due to uncertainties regarding their
eventual realization. The remaining change in net
interest and other is primarily due to the change in
net interest, which was $1.0 million of income in the
first nine months of 1996 compared to $7.2 million of
expense in the first nine months of 1995. This change
is due to lower worldwide borrowing levels as the
Company converted its subordinated convertible
debentures in October of 1995 and an increase in
investment income.
The Company provided income taxes at an estimated rate
of 33% which is equal to the expected annual effective
rate for 1996. The Company's effective income tax rate
for 1995 was 38.5%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities was $31.9 million
in the first nine months of 1996, compared to cash used
by operating activities of $31.5 million in the first
nine months of 1995. The change reflects the higher
earnings level in 1996 and a lesser increase in working
capital requirements in the first nine months of 1996
compared to the first nine months of 1995. Cash
provided by operating activities before working capital
changes was $151.7 million in the first nine months of
1996, compared to $112.0 million in 1995.
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company
acquired Teamwork Sverige AB, the largest employment
services organization in Sweden, and several United
States franchises. The total cash consideration paid
for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $32.2
million.
The Company increased its capital expenditures to $30.7
million in the first nine months of 1996, from $29.1
million during the first nine months of 1995. These
expenditures primarily consist of computer equipment
and office furniture used in the branch office network.
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company had
net additional borrowings of $4.1 million compared to
$52.7 million in the first nine months of 1995. The
additional borrowings were primarily used to support
working capital growth.
Accounts receivable increased $187.6 million to
$1,231.3 million at September 30, 1996, from
$1,043.7 million at December 31, 1995. The change
represents a $34.1 million decrease due to the change
in foreign exchange rates, offset by a general increase
in receivables due to the higher sales level in the
Company's major markets during the third quarter of
1996 as compared to the fourth quarter of 1995.
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company
expended the remaining $2.7 million of reserves related
to the strategic restructuring plan started in 1989.
These reserves were used to cover general operating
costs and lease costs of properties vacated under the
restructuring plan.
On April 1, 1996, the Company entered into a $275
million unsecured revolving credit agreement which
includes a $60 million commitment to be used
exclusively for standby letters of credit. The
interest rate and facility fee payable on the total
line vary based upon the Company's financial
performance, debt rating, and borrowing level, and are
currently at LIBOR plus .225% and .125%, respectively.
The facility matures on May 15, 1999, but may be
extended for an additional two years with the lenders'
consent. The agreement requires, among other things,
that the Company comply with minimum tangible net worth
levels and interest coverage and debt-to-capitalization
ratios. This agreement replaced the Company's $240
million unsecured revolving credit agreement.
As of September 30, 1996, the Company had borrowings of
$32.9 million outstanding under its $275 million U.S.
revolving credit facility, and borrowings of $34.6
million outstanding under its U.S. commercial paper
program. The commercial paper borrowings have been
classified as long-term debt due to the availability to
refinance them on a long-term basis under the revolving
credit facility.
In addition, the Company and some of its foreign
subsidiaries maintain separate lines of credit with
foreign financial institutions to meet short-term
working capital needs. As of September 30, 1996, such
lines totaled $166.5 million, of which $138.5 million
was unused.

corporation in a merger or consolidation, the surviving
corporation or successor holding company (as the case
may be), for purposes of this definition, shall
thereafter be referred to as the Company.
Words importing the singular shall include
the plural and vice versa and words importing the
masculine shall include the feminine.
3. SHARES RESERVED UNDER PLAN
The aggregate number of Shares which may be
issued or sold under the Plan and which are subject to
outstanding Options or Purchase Rights at any time
shall not exceed 3,625,000 Shares, which may be
treasury Shares or authorized but unissued Shares, or a
combination of the two, subject to adjustment as
provided in Paragraph 15 hereof; provided, however, in
no event shall the number of Shares sold through the
exercise of Purchase Rights granted under the Plan and
the number of Shares subject to outstanding Purchase
Rights at any time exceed in the aggregate more than
1,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in
Paragraph 15 hereof). Any Shares subject to an Option
or Purchase Right which expires or terminates for any
reason (whether by voluntary surrender, lapse of time,
termination of employment or otherwise) and is
unexercised as to such Shares, and any Shares
repurchased by the Company pursuant to the restriction
provisions set forth in Paragraph 9, below, may again
be the subject of an Option or Purchase Right under the
Plan subject to the limits set forth above. The Holder
of an Option shall be entitled to the rights and
privileges of ownership with respect to the Shares
subject to the Option only after actual purchase and
issuance of such Shares pursuant to exercise of all or
part of an Option.
4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. The Committee shall be so constituted as to
permit the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act or any successor rule or other regulatory
requirements. The members of the Committee shall be
appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum
thereof and the acts of a majority of the members
present at any meeting of the Committee of which a
quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by a
majority of the entire Committee, shall be the acts of
the Committee.
The Committee shall have sole authority in
its discretion, but always subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, to determine the purchase or
exercise price of the Shares covered by each Option or
Purchase Right, the Employees to whom and the time or
times at which Options and Purchase Rights shall be
granted, the number of Shares to be subject to each
Option or Purchase Right, and the extent to which
Options and Purchase Rights may be exercised in
installments; to interpret the Plan; to prescribe,
amend, and rescind rules and regulations pertaining to
the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of the
respective Option Agreements and Purchase Right
Agreements; and to make all other determinations and
interpretations deemed necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan. The Committee's
determination of the foregoing matters shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company, all Employees,
all Holders, all Purchasers and all other persons.
5. ELIGIBILITY
Only Employees shall be eligible to receive
Options and Purchase Rights under the Plan. In
determining the Employees to whom Options and Purchase
Rights shall be granted and the number of Shares to be
covered by each Option or Purchase Right, the Committee
may take into account the nature of the services ren
dered by the respective Employees, their present and
potential contributions to the success of the Company,
and other such factors as the Committee in its
discretion shall deem relevant. Options and Purchase
Rights may be granted to Employees who are foreign
nationals on such terms and conditions different from
those specified in the Plan as the Committee considers
necessary or advisable in order to achieve the
objectives of the Plan or to comply with applicable
laws, including, at the Committee's sole discretion,
the setting of equivalent exercise and/or purchase
prices in both U.S. dollars and the local currency of
such an Employee. An Employee who has been granted an
Option or Purchase Right under the Plan may be granted
additional Options or Purchase Rights under the Plan if
the Committee shall so determine. In addition, the
Committee may at any time, regardless of the then
current fair market value of the Shares, grant new
Options to an Employee in exchange for the surrender,
at the option of the Employee, of a previously granted
Option. The Company shall effect the granting of
Options and Purchase Rights under the Plan by execution
of, respectively, Option Agreements and Purchase Right
Agreements in such form as shall be approved by the
Committee. No Option or Purchase Right may be granted
under the Plan to any person who is then a member of
the Committee.
6. OPTIONS: GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) Types of Options. An Option to
purchase Shares granted pursuant to this Plan
shall be specified to be either an Incentive Stock
Option (as described in Paragraph 7) or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option (as described in
Paragraph 8). An Option Agreement executed
pursuant to this Plan may include both an
Incentive Stock Option and a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, provided each Option is clearly identified
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option. An Option Agreement
executed pursuant to this Plan shall in no event
provide for the grant of a tandem Option, wherein
two Options are issued together and the exercise
of one affects the right to exercise the other.
(b) General Exercise Period. No Option
granted under this Plan shall provide for its
exercise earlier than six (6) months from its date
of grant. The Committee may, in its discretion,
(i) require that a Holder be employed by the
Company or a Subsidiary for a designated number of
years prior to the exercise by the Holder of any
Option or portion of an Option granted under this
Plan, and (ii) determine the periods during which
Options or portions of Options may be exercised by
a Holder. Any of the foregoing requirements or
limitations, including the limitation contained in
the first sentence of this Subparagraph 6(b),
subsequently may be reduced or waived by the
Committee in its discretion, unless such reduction
or waiver is prohibited by the Code or other
applicable law.
(c) Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock
appreciation rights ("SARs") may be granted in
tandem with Incentive Stock Options and
Nonstatutory Stock Options and each SAR granted
under this Plan shall be subject to such terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the
Committee shall impose, including the following:
(1) A SAR shall be
exercisable only to the extent the underlying
Option is exercisable.
(2) A SAR shall expire no
later than the expiration of the underlying
Option.
(3) A SAR shall be
transferable only when the underlying Option
is transferable, and under the same
conditions.
(4) A SAR shall entitle the
Holder to receive from the Company, in
exchange for the surrender of an Option as to
all or any portion of the Shares subject
thereto, that number of full Shares having an
aggregate Market Price, as of the date of
surrender, substantially equal to (but not
more than) the excess of the Market Price of
one Share on the business day immediately
preceding the date of surrender (the
"Valuation Date") over the option exercise
price specified with respect to such Option
as set forth in the applicable Option
Agreement, multiplied by the number of Shares
as to which the Option is surrendered. In
the discretion of the Committee, cash may be
paid in lieu of issuing fractional Shares.
However, the Company, as determined in the
sole discretion of the Committee, shall be
entitled to elect to settle its obligation
arising out of the exercise of a SAR by the
payment of cash equal to the aggregate Market
Price of the Shares it would otherwise be
obligated to deliver, or by the issuance of a
combination of Shares and cash, in the
proportions determined by the Committee,
equal to the aggregate Market Price of the
Shares the Company would otherwise be
obligated to deliver.
(5) A SAR can be exercised
only when there is a positive spread, i.e.,
when the Market Price of the Shares subject
to the Option exceeds the exercise price of
such Option. A SAR can be exercised only at
such times expressly permitted by Rule 16b-3
of the Exchange Act and such other securities
laws as may be applicable to the exercise of
such SAR.
(d) Payment of Exercise Price. The
purchase or exercise price shall be payable in
whole or in part in cash, Shares, other property,
or such other consideration consistent with the
Plan's purpose and applicable law as may be
determined by the Committee from time to time,
and, unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
such price shall be paid in full at the time that
an Option is exercised. If the Holder elects to
pay all or a part of the purchase or exercise
price in Shares, such Holder may make such payment
by (i) delivering to the Company a number of
Shares already owned by the Holder equal in value
to the purchase or exercise price, or (ii) such
other method as the Committee may approve. All
Shares so withheld or delivered shall be valued at
their Market Price on the business day immediately
preceding the day on which such Shares are
withheld or delivered.
7. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS
This Paragraph sets forth the special
provisions that govern Incentive Stock Options granted
under this Plan. Any Incentive Stock Option granted
under this Plan may, if so expressly stated in the
Option Agreement pertaining to such Option, include a
SAR, as described in Subparagraph 6(c), above.
(a) Maximum Calendar Year Grant to Any
Employee. The aggregate fair market value
(determined at the time the Option is granted) of
the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by any
Holder during any calendar year under this Plan
(and under all other plans of the Company or any
Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000, and/or any
other limit as may be prescribed by the Code from
time to time.
(b) Option Exercise Price. The per
share purchase price of the Shares under each
Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to this
Plan shall be determined by the Committee but
shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%)
of the fair market value per Share on the date of
grant of such Option. The fair market value per
Share on the date of grant shall be the Market
Price for the business day immediately preceding
the date of grant of such Option.
(c) Grant and Exercise Period. No
Incentive Stock Option shall (i) be granted after
ten (10) years from the date this Plan is adopted
by the Company's Board of Directors, or (ii) be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years
from its date of grant. Every Incentive Stock
Option which has not been exercised within ten
years of its date of grant shall lapse upon the
expiration of said ten-year period unless it shall
have lapsed at an earlier date.
8. NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS
This Paragraph sets forth the special
provisions that govern Nonstatutory Stock Options
granted under this Plan. Any Nonstatutory Stock Option
granted under this Plan may, if so expressly stated in
the Option Agreement pertaining to such Option, include
a SAR, as described in Subparagraph 6(c), above, either
at the time of grant or by subsequent amendment of the
Option Agreement.
Option Exercise Price. The per share
purchase price of the Shares under each
Nonstatutory Stock Option granted pursuant to this
Plan shall be determined by the Committee but
shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the
fair market value per Share on the date of grant
of such Option. The fair market value per Share
on the date of grant shall be the Market Price for
the business day immediately preceding the date of
grant of such Option.
9. PURCHASE RIGHTS
(a) Grant of Purchase Rights. The
Committee may grant Purchase Rights under the Plan
to such Employees as it may determine, and a
Purchase Right Agreement shall be executed by the
Company to effect each grant of a Purchase Right.
Any Purchase Right granted under this Plan may
include a CER, which may be granted either at the
time of grant of the Purchase Right or subsequent
thereto, as provided in Paragraph 10, below.
(b) Exercise. The Committee in its
absolute discretion shall determine the period
during which a Holder shall have the right to
exercise a Purchase Right granted under this Plan;
provided, however, that such period shall in no
event exceed sixty (60) days after the date of
grant of the Purchase Right by the Committee. A
Holder may exercise a Purchase Right as to all or
any part of the Shares subject to such Purchase
Right. Shares sold pursuant to Purchase Rights
shall sometimes be referred to hereinafter as
"Restricted Shares."
(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price
at which each Share shall be sold to Employees
pursuant to Purchase Rights granted hereunder
shall be determined by the Board of Directors, but
shall not be less than $0.01 per share.
(d) Restrictions. All Shares sold
pursuant to Purchase Rights shall be subject to
the following restrictions:
(1) The Restricted Shares may
not be sold, assigned, conveyed, donated,
pledged, transferred or otherwise disposed of
or encumbered for the period described in
Subparagraph (d)(2), below, subject to the
provisions of Subparagraph (d)(4), below. In
the event that a Purchaser shall sell,
assign, convey, donate, pledge, transfer or
otherwise dispose of or encumber any
Restricted Shares, the Company shall have the
right and option, in addition to such other
rights and remedies available to it
(including the right to restrain or set aside
such transfer), exercisable by written notice
to the transferee thereof at any time within
ninety (90) days after its discovery of such
transaction, to repurchase for cash all or
any part of such Restricted Shares at an
amount equal to the price paid for such
Restricted Shares by the Purchaser (the
"Repurchase Price").
(2) The nature and extent of
any additional restrictions and the period
for which shares shall be restricted (the
"Restricted Period") shall be determined by
the Committee; provided, however, that the
Restricted Period shall expire in not less
than three nor more than seven consecutive
years measured from the day of the month in
which such shares are purchased. Except as
otherwise determined by the Committee, the
Restricted Period shall be seven years and
the restrictions imposed upon such Restricted
Shares shall automatically lapse as to one-
fifth of such Restricted Shares on the last
day of each of the third, fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh years after the date of
purchase of such Restricted Shares.
(3) Except as provided in
Subparagraph (d)(4), below, in the event that
a Purchaser's employment with the Company or
a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason,
the Company shall have the right for ninety
(90) days following the termination of such
employment to buy for cash any or all of the
Restricted Shares held by such terminating
Purchaser which on the date of such
termination of employment are subject to the
restrictions imposed thereon by virtue of
this Subparagraph (d). All such Restricted
Shares shall be repurchased at the Repurchase
Price.
(4) In the event a Purchaser
hereunder terminates his employment with the
Company or a Subsidiary because of normal
retirement (as defined in the Manpower Inc.
Retirement Plan or any successor plan
providing retirement benefits), death,
Disability, early retirement with the consent
of the Committee, or for other reasons
determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion to be appropriate, then the
Company shall not have the right to
repurchase any of the Restricted Shares
pursuant to Subparagraph (d)(3), above, and
all such restrictions which would otherwise
be in effect by virtue of this Subparagraph
(d) shall immediately terminate.
(5) Prior to the lapse,
expiration or other termination of the
Restricted Period, Purchasers shall have the
right to vote Restricted Shares, the right to
receive and retain all regular cash dividends
(and such other distributions as the
Committee may designate) paid or distributed
on Shares and all other rights as a holder of
Shares, except that the Company will retain
custody of the stock certificates repre
senting Restricted Shares during the
Restricted Period.
(6) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein contained, upon the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, the
restrictions provided in this Subparagraph
(d) applicable to any Restricted Shares then
held by a Purchaser (or to Restricted Shares
that could be acquired upon the exercise of a
Purchase Right then held by a Holder) shall
immediately lapse, and all such Restricted
Shares shall be treated as Shares of the
Company and the holders thereof shall be
entitled to receive the same consideration
thereupon, if any, payable to the holders of
outstanding Shares of the Company in
connection with the Triggering Event.
10. CASH EQUIVALENT RIGHTS
A cash equivalent right ("CER") may be
granted by the Committee in connection with the award
of Purchase Rights under the Plan. A CER granted under
the Plan shall entitle a Purchaser of Restricted Shares
to a cash payment in an amount and at such time as set
forth under Subparagraph 10(a), below. The Committee
may grant a CER at any time from the date of grant of a
Purchase Right, through and including the time of the
exercise of a Purchase Right, or at any time thereafter
up to, and including, any date thirty (30) days after
the date of the lapse, expiration or other termination
of the restrictions on Restricted Shares imposed under
Subparagraph 9(d), above.
(a) Amount and Time of Payment. Not
later than ninety (90) days after (i) the date of
the lapse, expiration or other termination of the
restrictions on Restricted Shares imposed under
Subparagraph 9(d), above, or (ii) if a Purchaser
shall make an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code as to Restricted Shares purchased hereunder,
the date of notice to the Company of such
election, the holder of a CER shall be entitled to
receive from the Company a cash amount up to 100%
of the excess of the Market Price on the
Recognition Date over the price paid by the
Purchaser for a Restricted Share, multiplied by
the number of Restricted Shares so released from
restrictions or as to which a Section 83(b)
election is made. The "Recognition Date" shall be
the date of the lapse, expiration or other
termination of the restrictions on the Restricted
Shares, except that in the case of an election by
the Purchaser under Section 83(b) of the Code, the
"Recognition Date" shall be the date of purchase
of the Restricted Shares as to which such election
is made.
(b) Repurchase of Shares. In the event
the Company shall be entitled to buy all or any
part of the Restricted Shares purchased by a
Purchaser, and the Company shall exercise such
right to repurchase such Restricted Shares, the
CERs theretofore granted to such Purchaser with
respect to such repurchased Restricted Shares
shall automatically be cancelled forthwith and
have no further force or effect; provided,
however, that any CER cash amounts paid prior to
such termination as a result of a Section 83(b)
election under the Code by the Purchaser shall not
be recoverable by the Company, and the Purchaser
shall not be liable therefor. The filing by the
Purchaser of an election under Section 83(b) as to
Restricted Shares purchased under the Plan shall
in no way affect or impair the Company's right to
repurchase such Restricted Shares as provided in
Subparagraph 9(d), above.
(c) Notice of Election. If a Purchaser
makes an election under Section 83(b) as to any of
the Restricted Shares for which the Purchaser has
been granted a CER, such Purchaser shall be
entitled to payment of such CER only if the
Purchaser notifies the Secretary of the Company of
such election within thirty (30) days of such
election.
11. CESSATION OF EMPLOYEE STATUS
(a) Any Holder who ceases to be an
Employee due to retirement on such Holder's normal
retirement date (as defined in the Manpower Inc.
Retirement Plan or any successor plan providing
retirement benefits) or due to early retirement
with the consent of the Committee shall have:
(1) One (1) year from the
date of such cessation to exercise any Option
granted hereunder as to all or part of the
Shares subject to such Option; provided,
however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall
be exercisable subsequent to ten (10) years
after its date of grant, and provided further
that on the date the Holder ceases to be an
Employee, he then has a present right to
exercise such Option; and
(2) The continuing right to
exercise any Purchase Right granted hereunder
after the date of such cessation; provided,
however, that no Purchase Right shall be
exercisable subsequent to sixty (60) days
after its date of grant, and provided further
that on the date the Holder ceases to be an
Employee, he then has a present right to
exercise such Purchase Right.
(b) Any Holder who ceases to be an
Employee due to Disability shall have:
(1) One (1) year from the
date of such cessation to exercise any Option
granted hereunder as to all or part of the
Shares subject to such Option; provided,
however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall
be exercisable subsequent to ten (10) years
after its date of grant, and provided further
that on the date the Holder ceases to be an
Employee, he then has a present right to
exercise such Option; and
(2) The continuing right to
exercise any Purchase Right granted hereunder
after the date of such cessation; provided,
however, that no Purchase Right shall be
exercisable subsequent to sixty (60) days
after its date of grant, and provided further
that on the date the Holder ceases to be an
Employee, he then has a present right to
exercise such Purchase Right.
(c) In the event of the death of a
Holder while an Employee, any Option or Purchase
Right theretofore granted to such Holder shall, as
to all or any part of the Shares subject to such
Option or Purchase Right, be exercisable:
(1) For one (1) year after
the Holder's death in the case of an Option,
but in no event later than ten (10) years
from its date of grant in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option;
(2) For the remaining term of
a Purchase Right, but in no event later than
sixty (60) days from its date of grant;
(3) Only (A) by the deceased
Holder's designated beneficiary (such
designation to be made in writing at such
time and in such manner as the Committee
shall approve or prescribe), or, if the
deceased Holder dies without a surviving
designated beneficiary, (B) by the personal
representative, administrator, or other
representative of the estate of the deceased
Holder, or by the person or persons to whom
the deceased Holder's rights under the Option
or Purchase Right shall pass by will or the
laws of descent and distribution; and
(4) Only to the extent that
the deceased Holder would have been entitled
to exercise such Option or Purchase Right on
the date of the Holder's death.
A Holder who has designated a beneficiary for
purposes of Subparagraph 11(c)(3)(A), above, may
change such designation at any time, by giving
written notice to the Committee, subject to such
conditions and requirements as the Committee may
prescribe in accordance with applicable law.
(d) If a Holder ceases to be an
Employee for a reason other than those specified
above, to the extent an Option or Purchase Right
is not effectively exercised prior to such
cessation, it shall lapse immediately upon such
cessation, unless the Committee shall, in its sole
discretion, make other provisions for exercise not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan or
applicable law.
(e) The Committee may in its sole
discretion increase the periods permitted for
exercise of an Option or a Purchase Right if a
Holder ceases to be an Employee as provided in
Subparagraphs 11(a), (b), (c) and (d), above, if
allowable under applicable law; provided, however,
in no event shall an Incentive Stock Option be
exercisable subsequent to ten (10) years after its
date of grant, and in no event shall a Purchase
Right be exercisable subsequent to sixty (60) days
after the date of grant of such Purchase Right.
(f) The Plan shall not confer upon any
Holder any right with respect to continuation of
employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, nor
shall it interfere in any way with the right of
the Company or such Subsidiary to terminate any
Holder's employment at any time.
12. TRANSFERABILITY
(a) Except as otherwise provided in
this Paragraph 12, Options, Purchase Rights, SARs
and CERs granted to a Holder under this Plan shall
be not transferable, and during the lifetime of
the Holder shall be exercisable only by the
Holder. A Holder shall have the right to transfer
the Options, Purchase Rights, SARs and CERs
granted to such Holder upon such Holder's death,
either pursuant to a beneficiary designation
described in Subparagraph 11(c)(3)(A), above, or,
if the deceased Holder dies without a surviving
designated beneficiary, by the terms of such
Holder's will or under the laws of descent and
distribution, subject to the limitations set forth
in Paragraph 11, above, and all such distributees
shall be subject to all terms and conditions of
this Plan to the same extent as would the Holder,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein or
as determined by the Committee.
(b) An Option Agreement may
provide that Options are transferable to members
of a Holder's immediate family, to trusts for the
benefit of such immediate family members, and to
partnerships in which such family members are the
only partners. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, "immediate family" shall mean a Holder's
children, grandchildren, and spouse.
13. EXERCISE
An Option Agreement or Purchase Right
Agreement may provide for exercise of its respective
Option or Purchase Right in such amounts and at such
times as shall be specified therein; provided, however,
except as provided in Paragraph 11, above, no Option or
Purchase Right may be exercised unless the Holder is
then in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary and
shall have been continuously so employed since its date
of grant. A Purchase Right granted under the Plan
shall not be exercisable at any time at which the
purchase price (as provided in Subparagraph 9(c),
above) is greater than ten percent (10%) of the then
fair market value per Share, as determined by the
Committee in conformity with applicable laws and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
An Option or Purchase Right shall be exercisable by a
Holder's giving written notice of exercise to the
Secretary of the Company accompanied by payment of the
required exercise or purchase price. The Holder who
elects to exercise a SAR shall so notify the Secretary
of the Company in writing, and, in conjunction
therewith, the Holder's Option Agreement shall be
appropriately amended or cancelled. The Company shall
have the right to delay the issue or delivery of any
Shares under the Plan until (a) the completion of such
registration or qualification of such Shares under any
federal or state law, ruling or regulation as the
Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable,
and (b) receipt from the Holder of such documents and
information as the Committee may deem necessary or
appropriate in connection with such registration or
qualification.
14. SECURITIES LAWS
Each Option Agreement and Purchase Right
Agreement shall contain such representations,
warranties and other terms and conditions as shall be
necessary in the opinion of counsel to the Company to
comply with all applicable federal and state securities
laws.
15. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS
In the event of any stock dividend, split-up,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or
exchange of shares, or the like, as a result of which
shares of any class shall be issued in respect of the
outstanding Shares, or the Shares shall be changed into
the same or a different number of the same or another
class of stock, or into securities of another person,
cash or other property (not including a regular cash
dividend), the total number of Shares authorized to be
offered in accordance with Paragraph 3, the number of
Shares subject to each outstanding Option and Purchase
Right, the exercise price applicable to each such
Option and Purchase Right, and/or the consideration to
be received upon exercise of each such Option, Purchase
Right, SAR or CER shall be adjusted as deemed equitable
by the Committee. In addition, the Committee shall, in
its sole discretion, have authority to provide, in
appropriate cases, for (i) waiver in whole or in part,
of any remaining restrictions or vesting requirements
in connection with any Option, Purchase Right, SAR or
CER hereunder and/or (ii) the conversion of outstanding
Options, Purchase Rights, SARs or CERs into cash or
other property to be received in certain of the
transactions specified in the preceding sentence upon
effectiveness of such transactions. Any adjustment,
waiver, conversion or the like carried out by the
Committee under this Paragraph shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes of the Plan.
16. TIME OF GRANTING
Nothing contained in the Plan or in any
resolution adopted or to be adopted by the Board of
Directors or the shareholders of the Company and no
action taken by the Committee shall constitute the
granting of any Option or Purchase Right hereunder.
The granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall
take place only when a written Option Agreement shall
have been duly executed by and on behalf of the
Company. The granting of a Purchase Right pursuant to
the Plan shall take place only when a Purchase Right
Agreement shall have been duly executed by and on
behalf of the Company.
17. TAXES
(a) The Company shall be entitled to
pay or withhold the amount of any tax which it
believes is required as a result of the grant or
exercise of any Option, SAR, Purchase Right or CER
under the Plan, and the Company may defer making
delivery with respect to cash and/or Shares
obtained pursuant to exercise of any Option, SAR,
Purchase Right or CER until arrangements
satisfactory to it have been made with respect to
any such withholding obligations. An Employee
exercising an Option may, at his election, satisfy
his obligation for payment of withholding taxes
either by having the Company retain a number of
Shares having an aggregate Market Price on the
date the Shares are withheld equal to the amount
of the withholding tax or by delivering to the
Company Shares already owned by the Employee
having an aggregate Market Price on the business
day immediately preceding the day on which such
Shares are delivered equal to the amount of the
withholding tax.
(b) An Employee who owns Restricted
Shares may, at his election, satisfy his
obligation for payment of withholding taxes by
either having the Company withhold from the shares
to be delivered upon lapse of the restrictions a
number of Shares having an aggregate Market Price
on the date the Shares are withheld equal to the
amount of the withholding tax or by delivering to
the Company Shares already owned by the Employee
having an aggregate Market Price on the business
day immediately preceding the day on which such
Shares are delivered equal to the amount of the
withholding tax.
18. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN
The Plan, as approved by the Company's Board
of Directors, shall become effective as of the date of
such approval.
19. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT
Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been
terminated as hereinafter provided, no Incentive Stock
Option hereunder shall be granted after December 31,
2000. The Board of Directors of the Company may
terminate the Plan or make such modifications or
amendments thereof as it shall deem advisable,
including, but not limited to, such modifications or
amendments as it shall deem advisable in order to
conform to any law or regulation applicable thereto,
and, including, but not limited to, modifications or
amendments for the purpose of complying with, or taking
advantage of, income or other tax or legal requirements
or practices of foreign countries which are applicable
to Employees; provided, however, that the Board of
Directors may not, unless otherwise permitted under
federal law, without further approval of the holders of
a majority of the Shares voted at any meeting of
shareholders at which a quorum is present and voting,
adopt any amendment to the Plan for which shareholder
approval is required under tax, securities or any other
applicable law, including, but not limited to, any
amendment to the Plan which would cause the Plan to no
longer comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or
any successor rule or other regulatory requirements.
No termination, modification or amendment of the Plan
may, without the consent of the Holder, adversely
affect the rights of such Holder under an outstanding
Option or Purchase Right then held by the Holder.

3. SHARES RESERVED UNDER PLAN
The aggregate number of Shares which may be

exceed 2,000,000 Shares, which may be treasury Shares
or authorized but unissued Shares, or a combination of
the two, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph
14 hereof; provided, however, in no event shall the num
ber of Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the
Plan exceed in the aggregate more than 500,000 Shares
(subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 14
hereof). Any Shares subject to an Option which expires
or terminates for any reason (whether by voluntary sur
render, lapse of time, termination of employment or
otherwise) and is unexercised as to such Shares, and
any Shares of Restricted Stock which are forfeited to
the Company pursuant to the restriction provisions set
forth in Paragraph 9, below, may again be the subject
of an Option or granted as Restricted Stock under the
Plan subject to the limits set forth above. The Holder
of an Option shall be entitled to the rights and
privileges of ownership with respect to the Shares
subject to the Option only after actual purchase and
issuance of such Shares pursuant to exercise of all or
part of an Option. No Employee shall be eligible to
receive Options, or Options granted in tandem with
SARs, for more than 500,000 Shares during any three-
year period, subject to adjustment as provided in
Paragraph 14 hereof.
4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. The Committee shall be so constituted as to
permit the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act, as such rule is currently in effect or as
hereafter modified or amended ("Rule 16b-3"), Section
162(m) of the Code and any regulations promulgated
thereunder, or any other statutory rule or regulatory
requirements. The members of the Committee shall be
appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum
thereof and the acts of a majority of the members
present at any meeting of the Committee of which a
quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by all
of the members of the Committee, shall be the acts of
the Committee.
The Committee shall have sole authority in
its discretion, but always subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, to determine the exercise price
of the Shares covered by each Option, the Employees to
whom and the time or times at which Options and
Restricted Stock shall be granted, the amount of
Restricted Stock to be granted, the number of Shares to
be subject to each Option and the extent to which
Options may be exercised in installments; to interpret
the Plan; to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and
regulations pertaining to the Plan; to determine the
terms and provisions of the respective Option
Agreements and Restricted Stock grants; and to make all
other determinations and interpretations deemed
necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan. The Committee's determination of the foregoing
matters shall be conclusive and binding on the Company,
all Employees, all Holders and all other persons.
5. ELIGIBILITY
Only Employees shall be eligible to receive
Options and Restricted Stock under the Plan. In
determining the Employees to whom Options and
Restricted Stock shall be granted and the number of
Shares to be covered by each Option or grant of
Restricted Stock, the Committee may take into account
the nature of the services rendered by the respective
Employees, their present and potential contributions to
the success of the Company, and other such factors as
the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant.
Options and Restricted Stock may be granted to
Employees who are foreign nationals on such terms and
conditions different from those specified in the Plan
as the Committee considers necessary or advisable in
order to achieve the objectives of the Plan or to
comply with applicable laws, including, at the
Committee's sole discretion, the setting of equivalent
exercise prices in both U.S. dollars and the local
currency of such an Employee. An Employee who has been
granted an Option or Restricted Stock under the Plan
may be granted additional Options or Restricted Stock
under the Plan if the Committee shall so determine
subject to the limitations contained in Paragraph 3.
In addition, the Committee may at any time, regardless
of the then current fair market value of the Shares,
grant new Options to an Employee in exchange for the
surrender, at the option of the Employee, of a
previously granted Option. However, the Shares covered
by previously granted Options shall be included in
determining the overall number of Shares subject to
Options which can be granted to any Employee during any
three-year period pursuant to Paragraph 3 if required
by regulations promulgated under 162(m) of the Code.
The Company shall effect the granting of Options under
the Plan by execution of Option Agreements. No Option
or Restricted Stock may be granted under the Plan to
any person who is then a member of the Committee.
6. OPTIONS: GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) Types of Options. An Option to
purchase Shares granted pursuant to this Plan
shall be specified to be either an Incentive Stock
Option (as described in Paragraph 7) or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option (as described in
Paragraph 8). An Option Agreement executed
pursuant to this Plan may include both an
Incentive Stock Option and a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, provided each Option is clearly identified
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non
statutory Stock Option. An Option Agreement
executed pursuant to this Plan shall in no event
provide for the grant of a tandem Option, wherein
two Options are issued together and the exercise
of one affects the right to exercise the other.
(b) General Exercise Period. No Option
granted under this Plan shall provide for its
exercise earlier than one year from the date of
grant except as otherwise determined by the
Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion,
(i) require that a Holder be employed by the
Company or a Subsidiary for a designated number of
years prior to the exercise by the Holder of any
Option or portion of an Option granted under this
Plan, and (ii) determine the periods during which
Options or portions of Options may be exercised by
a Holder. Any of the foregoing requirements or
limitations may be reduced or waived by the
Committee in its discretion, unless such reduction
or waiver is prohibited by the Code or other
applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Stock Option shall (i) be granted after ten (10)
years from the date this Plan is adopted by the
Company's Board of Directors, or (ii) be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years
from its date of grant. Every Option which has
not been exercised within ten years of its date of
grant shall lapse upon the expiration of said
ten-year period unless it shall have lapsed at an
earlier date.
(c) Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock
appreciation rights ("SARs") may be granted in
tandem with Incentive Stock Options and
Nonstatutory Stock Options and each SAR granted
under this Plan shall be subject to such terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the
Committee shall impose, including the following:
(1) An SAR shall be
exercisable only to the extent the underlying
Option is exercisable.
(2) An SAR shall expire no
later than the expiration of the underlying
Option.
(3) An SAR shall be
transferable only when the underlying Option
is transferable, and under the same
conditions.
(4) An SAR shall entitle the
Holder to receive from the Company, in
exchange for the surrender of an Option as to
all or any portion of the Shares subject
thereto, that number of full Shares having an
aggregate Market Price, as of the date of
surrender, substantially equal to (but not
more than) the excess of the Market Price of
one Share on the business day immediately
preceding the date of surrender (the
"Valuation Date") over the option exercise
price specified with respect to such Option
as set forth in the applicable Option
Agreement, multiplied by the number of Shares
as to which the Option is surrendered. How
ever, the Company, as determined in the sole
discretion of the Committee, shall be
entitled to elect to settle its obligation
arising out of the exercise of an SAR by the
payment of cash equal to the aggregate Market
Price of the Shares it would otherwise be
obligated to deliver, or by the issuance of a
combination of Shares and cash, in the
proportions determined by the Committee,
equal to the aggregate Market Price of the
Shares the Company would otherwise be
obligated to deliver.
(5) An SAR can be exercised
only when there is a positive spread, i.e.,
when the Market Price of the Shares subject
to the Option exceeds the exercise price of
such Option. An SAR can be exercised only at
such times expressly permitted by Rule 16b-3
of the Exchange Act and such other securities
laws as may be applicable to the exercise of
such SAR.
(d) Payment of Exercise Price. The
exercise price shall be payable in whole or in
part in cash, Shares held by the Holder for more
than six months, other property, or such other
consideration consistent with the Plan's purpose
and applicable law as may be determined by the
Committee from time to time. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, such price shall be
paid in full at the time that an Option is exer
cised. If the Holder elects to pay all or a part
of the exercise price in Shares, such Holder may
make such payment by delivering to the Company a
number of Shares already owned by the Holder for
more than six months which are equal in value to
the purchase or exercise price. All Shares so
delivered shall be valued at their Market Price on
the business day immediately preceding the day on
which such Shares are delivered.
7. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS
This Paragraph sets forth the special
provisions that govern Incentive Stock Options granted
under this Plan. Any Incentive Stock Option granted
under this Plan may, if so expressly stated in the
Option Agreement pertaining to such Option, include an
SAR, as described in Subparagraph 6(c), above.
(a) Maximum Calendar Year Grant to Any
Employee. The aggregate fair market value
(determined at the time the Option is granted) of
the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by any
Holder during any calendar year under this Plan
(and under all other plans of the Company or any
Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000, and/or any
other limit as may be prescribed by the Code from
time to time.
(b) Option Exercise Price. The per
share purchase price of the Shares under each
Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to this
Plan shall be determined by the Committee but
shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%)
of the fair market value per Share on the date of
grant of such Option. The fair market value per
Share on the date of grant shall be the Market
Price for the business day immediately preceding
the date of grant of such Option.
8. NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS
This Paragraph sets forth the special
provisions that govern Nonstatutory Stock Options
granted under this Plan. Any Nonstatutory Stock Option
granted under this Plan may, if so expressly stated in
the Option Agreement pertaining to such Option, include
an SAR, as described in Subparagraph 6(c), above,
either at the time of grant or by subsequent amendment
of the Option Agreement.
Option Exercise Price. The per share
purchase price of the Shares under each
Nonstatutory Stock Option granted pursuant to this
Plan shall be determined by the Committee but
shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the
fair market value per Share on the date of grant
of such Option. The fair market value per Share
on the date of grant shall be the Market Price for
the business day immediately preceding the date of
grant of such Option.
9. RESTRICTED STOCK
(a) Restrictions. All Restricted Stock
shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(1) The Restricted Stock may
not be sold, assigned, conveyed, donated,
pledged, transferred or otherwise disposed of
or encumbered for the period described in
Subparagraph (a)(2), below, subject to the
provisions of Subparagraph (a)(4), below. In
the event that a Holder shall sell, assign,
convey, donate, pledge, transfer or otherwise
dispose of or encumber the Restricted Stock,
said Restricted Stock shall, at the
Committee's option, and in addition to such
other rights and remedies available to the
Committee (including the right to restrain or
set aside such transfer), upon written notice
to the transferee thereof at any time within
ninety (90) days after its discovery of such
transaction, be forfeited to the Company.
(2) The nature and extent of
any additional restrictions and the period
for which shares shall be restricted (the
"Restricted Period") shall be determined by
the Committee. Except as otherwise
determined by the Committee, the Restricted
Period shall be seven years and the
restrictions imposed upon such Restricted
Stock shall automatically lapse as to
one-fifth of such Restricted Stock on the
last day of each of the third, fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh years after the date of
grant of such Restricted Stock.
(3) Except as provided in
Subparagraph (a)(4), below, in the event that
a Holder's employment with the Company or a
Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, said
Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the
Company unless the Committee, in its sole
discretion, determines otherwise.
(4) In the event a Holder
terminates his employment with the Company or
a Subsidiary because of normal retirement (as
defined in the Manpower Inc. Retirement Plan
or any successor plan providing retirement
benefits), death, Disability, early
retirement with the consent of the Committee,
or for other reasons determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion to be
appropriate, all such restrictions which
would otherwise be in effect by virtue of
this Subparagraph (a) shall immediately
lapse.
(5) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein contained, upon the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, the
restrictions provided in this Subparagraph
(a) applicable to any Restricted Stock then
held by a Holder shall immediately lapse, and
all such Restricted Stock shall be treated as
Shares of the Company and the holders thereof
shall be entitled to receive the same
consideration thereupon, if any, payable to
the holders of outstanding Shares of the
Company in connection with the Triggering
Event.
(b) Rights as Shareholders. During the
Restricted Period, the Committee may, in its
discretion, limit the shareholder rights granted
to a Holder with respect to the Restricted Stock
including, but not by way of limitation, the right
to vote such Restricted Stock and to receive
dividends thereon. The Company will retain cus
tody of the stock certificates representing
Restricted Stock during the Restricted Period as
well as a stock power signed by the Employee to be
used in the event the Restricted Stock is
forfeited pursuant to Subparagraph (a) hereof.
10. CESSATION OF EMPLOYEE STATUS
(a) Any Holder who ceases to be an
Employee due to retirement on or after such
Holder's normal retirement date (as defined in the
Manpower Inc. Retirement Plan or any successor
plan providing retirement benefits) or due to
early retirement with the consent of the Committee
shall have one (1) year from the date of such
cessation to exercise any Option granted hereunder
as to all or part of the Shares subject to such
Option; provided, however, that no Option shall be
exercisable subsequent to ten (10) years after its
date of grant, and provided further that on the
date the Holder ceases to be an Employee, he then
has a present right to exercise such Option.
(b) Any Holder who ceases to be an
Employee due to Disability shall have one (1) year
from the date of such cessation to exercise any
Option granted hereunder as to all or part of the
Shares subject to such Option to the extent the
Holder then has a present right to exercise such
Option or would have become entitled to exercise
such Option had the Holder remained an Employee
during such one-year period; provided, however,
that no Option shall be exercisable subsequent to
ten (10) years after its date of grant.
(c) In the event of the death of a
Holder while an Employee, any Option granted to
such Holder shall, as to all or any part of the
Shares subject to such Option, be exercisable:
(1) For one (1) year after
the Holder's death, but in no event later
than ten (10) years from its date of grant;
(2) Only (A) by the
deceased Holder's designated beneficiary
(such designation to be made in writing
at such time and in such manner as the
Committee shall approve or prescribe),
or, if the deceased Holder dies without
a surviving designated beneficiary, (B)
by the personal representative,
administrator, or other representative
of the estate of the deceased Holder, or
by the person or persons to whom the
deceased Holder's rights under the
Option shall pass by will or the laws of
descent and distribution; and
(3) Only to the extent that
the deceased Holder would have been entitled
to exercise such Option on the date of the
Holder's death or would have become entitled
to exercise such Option had the Holder
remained employed during such one-year
period.
A Holder who has designated a beneficiary for
purposes of Subparagraph 10(c)(2)(A), above, may
change such designation at any time, by giving
written notice to the Committee, subject to such
conditions and requirements as the Committee may
prescribe in accordance with applicable law.
(d) If a Holder ceases to be an
Employee for a reason other than those specified
above, the Holder shall have three (3) months from
the date of such cessation to exercise any Option
granted hereunder as to all or part of the Shares
subject thereto; provided, however, that no Option
shall be exercisable subsequent to ten (10) years
after its date of grant, and provided further that
on the date the Holder ceases to be an Employee,
he then has a present right to exercise such
Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a
Holder ceases to be an Employee for Cause, to the
extent an Option is not effectively exercised
prior to such cessation, it shall lapse
immediately upon such cessation and (ii) if a
Holder ceases to be an Employee in anticipation
of, or as a result of, a Triggering Event which
results in a transaction which will be accounted
for using the pooling of interests accounting
method, any Holder who is an executive officer for
purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act
shall have the greater of (a) six (6) months and
(1) day or (b) ten (10) business days following
the release of 30 days of combined results of the
Company and any acquiring company, to exercise any
Option granted hereunder as to all or part of the
Shares subject thereto.
(e) The Committee may in its sole
discretion increase the periods permitted for
exercise of an Option if a Holder ceases to be an
Employee as provided in Subparagraphs 10(a), (b),
(c) and (d), above, if allowable under applicable
law; provided, however, in no event shall an
Option be exercisable subsequent to ten (10) years
after its date of grant.
(f) The Plan shall not confer upon any
Holder any right with respect to continuation of
employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, nor
shall it interfere in any way with the right of
the Company or such Subsidiary to terminate any
Holder's employment at any time.
11. TRANSFERABILITY
(a) Except as otherwise provided in
this Paragraph 11, or unless otherwise provided by
the Committee, Options and SARs granted to a
Holder under this Plan shall be not transferable,
and during the lifetime of the Holder shall be
exercisable only by the Holder. A Holder shall
have the right to transfer the Options and SARs
granted to such Holder upon such Holder's death,
either pursuant to a beneficiary designation
described in Subparagraph 10(c)(2)(A), above, or,
if the deceased Holder dies without a surviving
designated beneficiary, by the terms of such
Holder's will or under the laws of descent and
distribution, subject to the limitations set forth
in Paragraph 10, above, and all such distributees
shall be subject to all terms and conditions of
this Plan to the same extent as would the Holder,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein or
as determined by the Committee.
(b) An Option Agreement may provide
that Options are transferable to members of the
Holder's immediate family, to trusts for the
benefit of such immediate family members, and to
partnerships in which such family members are the
only partners. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, "immediate family" shall mean a Holder's
children, grandchildren, and spouse.
12. EXERCISE
An Option Agreement may provide for exercise
of an Option in such amounts and at such times as shall
be specified therein; provided, however, except as
provided in Paragraph 10, above, no Option may be
exercised unless the Holder is then in the employ of
the Company or a Subsidiary and shall have been
continuously so employed since its date of grant.
Except as other permitted by the Committee, an Option
shall be exercisable by a Holder's giving written
notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company
accompanied by payment of the required exercise price.
The Holder who elects to exercise an SAR shall so
notify the Secretary of the Company in writing, and, in
conjunction therewith, the Holder's Option Agreement
shall be appropriately amended or cancelled. The
Company shall have the right to delay the issue or
delivery of any Shares under the Plan until (a) the
completion of such registration or qualification of
such Shares under any federal or state law, ruling or
regulation as the Company shall determine to be
necessary or advisable, and (b) receipt from the Holder
of such documents and information as the Committee may
deem necessary or appropriate in connection with such
registration or qualification.
13. SECURITIES LAWS
Each Option Agreement and any grant of
Restricted Stock shall contain such representations,
warranties and other terms and conditions as shall be
necessary in the opinion of counsel to the Company to
comply with all applicable federal and state securities
laws.
14. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS
In the event of any stock dividend, split-up,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or
exchange of shares, or the like, as a result of which
shares of any class shall be issued in respect of the
outstanding Shares, or the Shares shall be changed into
the same or a different number of the same or another
class of stock, or into securities of another person,
cash or other property (not including a regular cash
dividend), the total number of Shares authorized to be
offered in accordance with Paragraph 3, the number of
Shares subject to each outstanding Option, the number
of Shares of Restricted Stock outstanding, the exercise
price applicable to each Option, the consideration to
be received upon exercise of each Option or SAR and/or
the per Employee limitation on the number of Shares
subject to Options contained in Paragraph 3 shall be
adjusted as deemed equitable by the Committee. In
addition, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
have authority to provide, in appropriate cases, for
(i) waiver in whole or in part, of any remaining
restrictions or vesting requirements in connection with
any Option, SAR or Restricted Stock granted hereunder
and/or (ii) the conversion of outstanding Options or
SARs into cash or other property to be received in
certain of the transactions specified in the preceding
sentence upon effectiveness of such transactions. Any
adjustment, waiver, conversion or the like carried out
by the Committee under this Paragraph shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.
15. TAXES
(a) The Company shall be entitled to
pay or withhold the amount of any tax which it
believes is required as a result of the grant or
exercise of any Option or SAR under the Plan, and
the Company may defer making delivery with respect
to cash and/or Shares obtained pursuant to
exercise of any Option or SAR until arrangements
satisfactory to it have been made with respect to
any such withholding obligations. An Employee
exercising an Option may, at his election, satisfy
his obligation for payment of withholding taxes
either by having the Company retain a number of
Shares having an aggregate Market Price on the
date the Shares are withheld equal to the amount
of the withholding tax or by delivering to the
Company Shares already owned by the Employee
having an aggregate Market Price on the business
day immediately preceding the day on which such
Shares are delivered equal to the amount of the
withholding tax.
(b) An Employee who owns Restricted
Stock and who has not made an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code may, at his election,
satisfy his obligation for payment of withholding
taxes by either having the Company withhold from
the shares to be delivered upon lapse of the
restrictions a number of Shares having an
aggregate Market Price on the date the Shares are
withheld equal to the amount of the withholding
tax or by delivering to the Company Shares already
owned by the Employee having an aggregate Market
Price on the business day immediately preceding
the day on which such Shares are delivered equal
to the amount of the withholding tax. An Employee
who owns Restricted Stock and makes an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code may, at his
election, satisfy his obligation for payment of
withholding taxes by delivering to the Company
Shares already owned by the Employee having an
aggregate Market Price on the business day
immediately preceding the day on which such Shares
are delivered equal to the amount of the
withholding tax or cash.
16. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN
The Plan, as approved by the Company's
Executive Compensation Committee and Board of
Directors, shall become effective as of the date of
such approval, subject to ratification of the Plan by
the vote of the shareholders required under Rule 16b-
3(b) under the Exchange Act.
17. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT
Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been
terminated as hereinafter provided, no Option or
Restricted Stock shall be granted after February 23,
2004. The Board of Directors of the Company may
terminate the Plan or make such modifications or
amendments thereof as it shall deem advisable,
including, but not limited to, such modifications or
amendments as it shall deem advisable in order to
conform to any law or regulation applicable thereto,
and, including, but not limited to, modifications or
amendments for the purpose of complying with, or taking
advantage of, income or other tax or legal requirements
or practices of foreign countries which are applicable
to Employees; provided, however, that the Board of
Directors may not, unless otherwise permitted under
federal law, without further approval of the holders of
a majority of the Shares voted at any meeting of
shareholders at which a quorum is present and voting,
adopt any amendment to the Plan for which shareholder
approval is required under tax, securities or any other
applicable law, including, but not limited to, any
amendment to the Plan which would cause the Plan to no
longer comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or
any successor rule or other regulatory requirements.
No termination, modification or amendment of the Plan
may, without the consent of the Holder, adversely
affect the rights of such Holder under an outstanding
Option or grant of Restricted Stock then held by the
Holder.
The Committee may amend, modify or terminate
an outstanding Option or SAR, including, but not
limited to, substituting another award of the same or
of a different type, changing the date of exercise, or
converting an Incentive Stock Option into a
Nonstatutory Stock Option; provided, however, that the
Holder's consent to such action shall be required
unless the Committee determines that the action, taking
into account any related action, would not materially
and adversely affect the Holder.
18. OTHER BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS
Payments and other benefits received by an
Employee under an Option, SAR, or Restricted Stock
granted pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part
of such Employee's regular, recurring compensation for
purposes of the termination, indemnity or severance pay
law of any country and shall not be included in, nor
have any effect on, the determination of benefits under
any other employee benefit plan, contract or similar
arrangement provided by the Company or any Subsidiary
unless expressly so provided by such other plan,
contract or arrangement, or unless the Committee
expressly determines otherwise.
19. RULE 16b-3
(a) It is intended that the Plan meet
all of the requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act. If any provision of the Plan would
disqualify the Plan, or would not comply with,
Rule 16b-3, such provision shall be construed or
deemed amended to conform to Rule 16b-3.
(b) Any election by an Employee subject
to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, pursuant to
Paragraph 6(d) or 15 hereof, may be made only
during such times as permitted by Rule 16b-3 and
may be disapproved by the Committee any time after
the election.
