PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

We are sending you this proxy statement on or about November 24, 2003 in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors. The proxies are for use at our 2003 annual meeting of shareholders, which we will hold at 10:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on Wednesday, December 17, 2003, at the Marriott Hotel, 3635 Fashion Way, Torrance, California 90503. The proxies will remain valid for use at any meetings held upon adjournment of that meeting. The record date for the meeting is the close of business on November 19, 2003. All holders of record of our common stock on the record date are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting and any meetings held upon adjournment of that meeting. Our principal executive offices are located at 2929 California Street, Torrance, California 90503, and our telephone number is (310) 972-4005.

A proxy form is enclosed. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in person, please date, sign and return the enclosed proxy as promptly as possible, in the postage prepaid envelope provided, to ensure that your shares will be voted at the meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to its use by filing with our secretary an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the meeting and voting in person.

Unless you instruct otherwise in the proxy, any proxy, if not revoked, will be voted at the meeting:

	•		for our Board’s slate of nominees;

	•		to ratify and approve the appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP as our independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004;

	•		to approve the adoption of our 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan; and

	•		to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Motorcar Parts of America, Inc.; and

	•		as recommended by our Board with regard to all other matters, in its discretion.

Our only voting securities are the outstanding shares of our common stock. At the record date, we had approximately 8,075,455 shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 50 shareholders of record. If the shareholders of record present in person or represented by their proxies at the meeting hold at least a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, a quorum will exist for the transaction of business at the meeting. Shareholders of record who abstain from voting, including brokers holding their customers’ shares who cause abstentions to be recorded, are counted as present for quorum purposes.

For each share of common stock you hold on the record date, you are entitled to one vote on all matters that we will consider at this meeting. You are not entitled to cumulate your votes. Brokers holding shares of record for their customers generally are not entitled to vote on certain matters unless their customers give them specific voting instructions. If the broker does not receive specific instructions, the broker will note this on the proxy form or

otherwise advise us that it lacks voting authority. The votes that the brokers would have cast if their customers had given them specific instructions are commonly called “broker non-votes.”

The voting requirements for the proposals we will consider at the meeting are:

	•		Election of directors. The five candidates who receive the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Votes against a candidate and votes withheld from voting for a candidate will have no effect on the election.

	•		Ratification and Approval of Appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP. A majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on this matter must vote to approve and ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP as our independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

	•		Approval of our 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. A majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on this matter must vote to approve the plan and the total votes cast on the plan must represent over fifty percent of the shares entitled to vote on the plan. Abstentions count as votes cast and have the effect of a vote against the plan. Broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome.

	•		Approval of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. A majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on this matter must vote to approve the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Motorcar Parts of America, Inc., and the total votes to approve this amendment must represent over 50% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock. Abstentions count as votes cast and have the effect of a vote against the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. Broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome.

We will pay for the cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy to our shareholders, as well as the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the meeting. We have requested banks and brokers to solicit their customers who beneficially own our common stock in names of nominees. We will reimburse these banks and brokers for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses regarding these solicitations. Our officers, directors and employees may supplement the original solicitation by mail of proxies by telephone and personal solicitation. We will pay no additional compensation to our officers, directors and employees for these activities.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our Common Stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of our Company. Based solely on our review of copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from reporting persons that no Form 4s were required for those persons, we believe that our insiders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2003 fiscal year, except that timely filings were not made of (i) a Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 for Mr. Joffe upon the grant of stock options in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and (ii) Statements of Changes in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 reporting annual stock option grants to each of Messrs. Joffe, Marks, Rosenzweig, Horn and Siegel for 2003 fiscal year and the 2002 fiscal year. All such Section 16(a) filings have now been made.

Information regarding our Board of Directors and its committees

Our Board of Directors met eight times during fiscal 2003. Each of our directors attended 75% or more of the total number of meetings of the Board during fiscal 2003.

Audit Committee. The current members of our Audit Committee are Douglas Horn, Murray Rosenzweig and Irvin Siegel. Both Messrs. Horn and Rosenzweig are financial experts, independent from our management. The Audit Committee oversees our auditing procedures, receives and accepts the reports of our independent certified public accountants, oversees our internal systems of accounting and management controls and makes recommendations to the board concerning the appointment of our auditors. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Audit Committee met two times in fiscal 2003.

Compensation Committee. The current members of our Compensation Committee are Douglas Horn, Murray Rosenzweig and Irvin Siegel. Selwyn Joffe resigned from the Compensation Committee on October 31, 2003. The Compensation Committee is responsible for developing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to our executive compensation policies. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer (as CEO, Mr. Joffe did not participate in the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of his performance) and other senior officers and making recommendations concerning the salary, bonuses and stock options to be awarded to these officers. No member of the Compensation Committee has a relationship that would constitute an interlocking relationship with the executive officers or directors of another entity. For further discussion of our Compensation Committee, see “Compensation Committee; Interlocks and Insider Participation” below. The Compensation Committee met two times in fiscal 2003.

Ethics Committee. The current members of our Ethics Committee are Douglas Horn and Irvin Siegel. The Ethics Committee is responsible for implementing our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. No member of the Ethics Committee has a relationship that would constitute an interlocking relationship with the executive officers or directors of another entity. The Ethics Committee met once in fiscal 2003.

Legal Proceedings

On September 18, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil suit against the Company and its former chief financial officer, Peter Bromberg, arising out of the SEC’s investigation into the Company’s financial statements and reporting practices for fiscal years 1997 and 1998. Simultaneously with the filing of the SEC Complaint, the Company agreed to settle the SEC’s action without admitting or denying the allegations in the

Complaint. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company is subject to a permanent injunction barring the Company from future violations of the antifraud and financial reporting provisions of the federal securities laws. No monetary fine or penalty was imposed upon the Company in connection with this settlement with the SEC. The SEC’s case against Bromberg has not been settled. In addition, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California filed criminal charges against Bromberg on September 18, 2002 relating to his alleged role in the actions that form the basis for the SEC’s Complaint. Bromberg has pled guilty to these charges and is awaiting sentencing.

The United States Attorney’s Office has previously informed us that it does not intend to pursue criminal charges against the Company arising from the events involved in the SEC Complaint. On February 13, 2003, we received a letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office confirming this information. We have been informed that the U.S. Attorney’s Office has advised Richard Marks that he is a target of its investigation. During the 1997 and 1998 periods under investigation, Mr. Marks served as our President and COO. Mr. Marks served as an advisor to our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors until September 23, 2003. On that date, Mr. Marks submitted his resignation at the request of the Board.

Based upon the terms of agreements we previously entered into with Richard Marks and Peter Bromberg, we have been paying the costs they have incurred in connection with the SEC and U.S. Attorney’s Office’s investigation. During fiscal 2003, we incurred costs of approximately $603,000 and $165,000, respectively, on behalf of Richard Marks and Peter Bromberg.

While we are now current with respect to our SEC filings, we did not file a number of periodic reports we were obligated to file in prior periods. The SEC is aware of this fact and has reminded us that it has the authority to revoke or suspend our registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a result of this non-compliance situation, which SEC action would prevent sales of our common stock through broker/dealers.

We are subject to various other lawsuits and claims in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or future results of operations.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

Option Grants in the Last Fiscal Year

The following table provides summary information regarding stock options granted during the year ended March 31, 2003 to each of our named executive officers. The potential realizable value is calculated assuming that the fair market value of our Common Stock appreciates at the indicated annual rate compounded annually for the entire term of the options, and that the option is exercised and sold on the last day of its term for the appreciated stock price. The assumed rates of appreciation are mandated by the rules of the SEC and do not represent our estimate of the future prices or market value of our Common Stock.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Selwyn Joffe pursuant to which he is employed full-time as our President and Chief Executive Officer in addition to serving as our Chairman of the Board of Directors. This agreement, entered into as of February 14, 2003 is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2006. All prior consulting agreements between the Company and Protea Group terminated as of February 14, 2003 except that Mr. Joffe is still entitled to receive the previously agreed upon transaction fee of 1% of the value of the “total consideration” of any transaction that his efforts help bring to our Company. This agreement provides for an annual base salary of $524,000 and we expect that Mr. Joffe will participate in our Executive Bonus Program as adopted and amended from time to time by our Board of Directors. Our Executive Bonus Program will be adopted and effective no later than the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2003. As additional consideration for services to be rendered, we granted Mr. Joffe a ten-year option to purchase 100,000 shares of our Common Stock, pursuant to our 1994 Stock Option Plan, at an exercise price of $2.16 per share, 50,000 of which vested on the date of grant and 50,000 of which are exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant. In addition to his cash consideration, Mr. Joffe receives an automobile allowance and other benefits including those generally provided to other employees of our Company. Mr. Joffe’s current agreement was negotiated on our behalf by Mel Marks and Douglas Horn.

We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Charles Yeagley pursuant to which he is employed full-time as our Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The agreement, entered into on June 26, 2000 which was scheduled to expire on June 1, 2001, was extended through mutual consent to May 31, 2003 and provides for an annual base salary of $175,000. As additional consideration for services to be rendered, Mr. Yeagley was granted, for a period of ten years from date of said grant, an option to purchase 25,000 shares of our Common Stock, at $0.93 per share, pursuant to the terms of our 1994 Stock Option Plan. Furthermore, our Board of Directors may also grant supplemental bonuses or increase the base salary payable to Mr. Yeagley. In addition to his cash compensation, Mr. Yeagley receives an automobile allowance and other benefits, including those generally provided to other employees of our Company. Mr. Yeagley and the Company entered into a new contract on April 1, 2003 calling for a base salary of $215,000 per year and expiring on March 31, 2006.

We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Richard Marks in January 2000 pursuant to which he was employed full-time and reported directly to the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of our Company. This agreement was entered into on January 1, 2000 was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2004 and provided for an annual base salary of $300,000. As an incentive, Mr. Marks was paid a bonus equal to five percent of our pre-tax income (without giving effect to any tax on such income, whether actual or offset by loss carryovers) in each fiscal year; provided that no bonus was payable until the amount of such pre-tax income in such year equaled at least $2 million, without carryover from year to year. In addition to his cash compensation, Mr. Marks

received an automobile allowance and other benefits, including those generally provided to other employees of our Company as well as an allowance for the purpose of obtaining life insurance on his life and his spouse’s. In connection with Mr. Richard Marks’ resignation as an advisor to our Board and CEO, the Company paid Mr. Richard Marks $400,000 in recognition of the amounts that were due him under the terms of his employment agreement, which was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2003. Mr. Richard Marks is the son of Mr. Mel Marks, our Company’s founder and a member of our Board of Directors.

In conformity with our policy, all of our directors and officers execute confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements upon the commencement of employment. The agreements generally provide that all inventions or discoveries by the employee related to our business and all confidential information developed or made known to the employee during the term of employment shall be the exclusive property of the Company and shall not be disclosed to third parties without prior approval of the Company. Our employment agreements with Richard Marks and Chuck Yeagley also contain non-competition provisions that preclude each employee from competing with the Company for a period of two years from the date of termination of his employment. Public policy limitations and the difficulty of obtaining injunctive relief may impair our ability to enforce the non-competition and nondisclosure covenants made by its employees.

Director Compensation

Two of our Board members have supplemental compensatory arrangements with the Company. In August 2000, our Board of Directors agreed to engage Mr. Mel Marks to provide consulting services to the Company. Mr. Marks has 45 years of relevant experience in the industry and the Company and has relationships with key industry executives. Mr. Marks was paid an annual consulting fee of $180,000 — which was increased in January 2002 to $250,000 per year, increased to $300,000 per year in December 2002 and subsequently increased to $350,000 per year at the April 25, 2003 Board of Director’s meeting. The Board also authorized $50,000 of supplemental compensation to Mr. Marks in fiscal 2003. The Company can terminate its consulting arrangement with Mr. Marks at any time.

We have agreed to pay Mr. Horn $120,000 per year for serving on our Board of Directors as well as assuming the responsibility for being the Chairman of our Audit, Compensation and Ethics Committees, respectively.

In addition, each of our non-employee directors other than Mr. Horn receives annual compensation of $20,000, and is paid a fee of $2,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended. Furthermore, each non-employee director other than Mr. Horn receives $2,000 for each meeting of the Audit Committee attended; $500 for each meeting of any other Committee of the Board of Directors attended and is reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

The Company’s 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Non-Employee Director Plan”) provides that each non-employee director of the Company will be granted thereunder ten-year options to purchase 1,500 shares of Common Stock upon his or her initial election as a director, which options are fully exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price of the option will be equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In addition, the Company’s 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Stock Option Plan”) provides that each non-employee director of the Company receive formula grants of stock options as described below. Each person who served as a non-employee director of the Company during all of a fiscal year (the “Fiscal Year”) of the Company, including March 31 of that Fiscal Year, will receive in that Fiscal Year, an award under the 1994 Stock Option Plan of immediately exercisable ten-year options to purchase 1,500 shares of Common Stock in the Award Date. Each non-employee director who served during the year less than all of the Fiscal Year is awarded one-twelfth of a Full Award for each month or portion thereof that he or she served as a non-employee director of the Company. Each non-employee director may be granted additional options in the discretion of the Board or Compensation Committee.

Compensation Committee; Interlocks and Insider Participation

The members of the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2003 were Messrs. Joffe and Rosenzweig until October, 2002 at which time Mr. Siegel and Mr. Horn were added to the committee and Mr. Horn was elected to serve as the Chairman. (Mr. Joffe resigned from the Compensation Committee on October 31, 2003.) The Compensation Committee is responsible for developing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to our executive compensation policies. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer (as CEO, Mr. Joffe did not participate in the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of his performance) and our other senior officers and to make recommendations concerning the salary, bonuses and stock options to be awarded to these individuals. For a discussion of the contractual rights that certain of our officers have relative to bonuses and option grants, see “Employment Agreements” above.

The terms of the employment with Mr. Joffe which we entered into as of February 14, 2003 were determined by negotiations between our representatives and Mr. Joffe. In this connection, we reviewed statistical and other material available to us. The negotiated terms reflect the results of our review and understanding of what a chief executive officer earns at comparable positions, the unique background Mr. Joffe has with our company, and in marketing and management generally, and what we understand an executive of Mr. Joffe’s stature could otherwise earn in the employment market. The Board and the Compensation Committee recognize that we operate in a challenging business environment and are confident with Mr. Joffe as our Chief Executive Officer.

No member of the Compensation Committee has a relationship that would constitute an interlocking relationship with executive officers or directors of another entity.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

REGARDING COMPENSATION

Our Compensation Committee is composed of Murray Rosenzweig, Douglas Horn and Irvin Siegel, each of whom is an outside member of our Board, and Selwyn Joffe, our chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer (Mr. Joffe resigned from the Compensation Committee on October 31, 2003). The compensation committee is responsible for developing and making recommendations to the board with respect to our executive compensation policies. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer (as CEO, Mr. Joffe did not participate in the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of his performance) and other senior company officers and to make recommendations concerning the salary, bonuses and stock options to be awarded to our officers.

The objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

	•		Support the achievement of desired Company performance.

	•		Provide compensation that will attract and retain superior talent and reward performance.

We believe that the executive compensation program provides an overall level of compensation opportunity that is competitive within the automotive remanufacturing industry, as well as with a broader group of companies of comparable size and complexity.

Executive Officer Compensation Program. Our executive officer compensation program is comprised of base salary, bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options and various benefits, including medical plans and deferred compensation arrangements.

Base Salary. Base salary levels for our executive officers are competitively set relative to companies in comparable manufacturing industries. In determining salaries, the committee also takes into account individual experience and performance and specific issues particular to the Company. The committee considered each of these factors in approving the salaries for all of the executive officers.

Bonus Arrangements. As noted in the discussion under the caption “Employment Agreements,” several of our executive officers have contractual rights to bonuses and option grants and they were awarded those accordingly.

Stock Option Program. The stock option program is our long-term incentive plan for providing an incentive to key employees (including directors and officers who are key employees), consultants and directors and, upon approval by our shareholders, will include the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan described in Proposal No. 3 below.

Deferred Compensation. We contribute on behalf of each executive officer $.25 on each dollar, up to 6% of such executive officer’s annual salary and bonus, to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Benefits. We provide to executive officers medical benefits that are generally available to our other employees. The value of perquisites, as determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC relating to executive compensation, did not exceed 10% of salary for fiscal 2003.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the auditing procedures of the Company, receives and accepts the reports of the Company’s internal systems of accounting and management controls and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the selection and appointment of auditors for the Company.

The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors the approval of the independent accountants engaged to conduct the independent audit. The Audit Committee met with management and the independent accountants to review and discuss the March 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent accountants the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed written disclosures from the independent accountants required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and discussed with the independent accountants their firm’s independence.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent accountants and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the independent accountants, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2003 and that the statements be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We paid no other fees to Grant Thornton, LLP during fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002.

The Audit Committee preapproved 100% of the services described above. In connection with this preapproval, the Audit Committee met with managing partner of the engagement and reviewed the scope of the proposed audit procedures and the estimated fees. The Audit Committee also reviewed and approved the proposed retainer agreement between the Company and Grant Thornton prior to the commencement of the audit.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

APPROVAL OF THE
2003 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

On October 31, 2003, our Board of Directors adopted our 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2003 Incentive Plan”) subject to the approval of our shareholders. Our Board believes that it is desirable for, and in the best interests of, the Company to adopt the Plan and recommends that our shareholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Plan.

Shareholder approval of the 2003 Incentive Plan is required to qualify the 2003 Incentive Plan under Sections 422 of the Code, and is one of several requirements under Section 162(m) of the Code if compensation payable pursuant to the 2003 Incentive Plan is to qualify for the performance-based exemption to the limitation on our ability to deduct compensation in excess of $1 million to “covered employees.”

We anticipate registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2003 the shares issuable as a result of the adoption of the 2003 Incentive Plan.

The following summary of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B. If a capitalized term is not defined below, that term has the meaning set forth in the Plan.

Description of the Plan

The purpose of the Plan is to foster and promote our long-term financial success and interests and to materially increase the value of the equity interests in the Company by: (a) encouraging the long-term commitment of selected key employees, (b) motivating superior performance of key employees by means of long-term performance related incentives, (c) encouraging and providing key employees with a formal program for obtaining an ownership interest in the Company, (d) attracting and retaining outstanding key employees by providing incentive compensation opportunities competitive with other major companies, and (e) enabling participation by key employees in our long-term growth and financial success.

The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”). The Committee has the full power and authority to construe and interpret the Plan and may, from time to time, adopt such rules and regulations of carrying out the Plan as it may deem appropriate. Committee decisions are final, conclusive and binding upon all parties.

The 2003 Incentive Plan

Under the 2003 Incentive Plan, the Committee has the authority to grant to our key employees and consultants the following types of awards: (i) stock options in the form of incentive stock options qualified under section 422 of the Code (“Incentive Options”), or nonqualified stock options (“Nonqualified Options,” or collectively with the Incentive Options “Options”), or both; (ii) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); (iii) restricted stock (the “Restricted Stock”); (iv) performance-based awards; and (v) supplemental payments dedicated to payment of any income taxes that may be payable in conjunction with the 2003 Incentive Plan (collectively referred to as “Incentive Awards”). All of our employees are eligible to participate in the 2003 Incentive Plan. A total of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for grants of Incentive Awards under the 2003 Incentive Plan. The 2003 Incentive Plan will terminate on October 31, 2013, unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors.

The Committee may limit an optionee’s right to exercise all or any portion of an Option until one or more dates subsequent to the date of grant. The Committee also has the right, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the date on which all or any portion of an Option may be exercised. The 2003 Incentive Plan also provides that, under certain circumstances, if any employee is terminated within two years after a “Change of Control”, each Option or SAR then outstanding shall immediately become vested and immediately exercisable in full, all restrictions and conditions of all Restricted Stock then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied and the restriction period to have expired, and all Performance Shares and Performance Units shall become vested, deemed earned in full and properly paid. In the event of a change of control, however, the Committee may, after notice to the grantee, require the grantee to “cash-out” his rights by transferring them to the Company in exchange for their equivalent “cash value.”

If we terminate an Employee’s employment for any reason other than death, disability, retirement, involuntary termination or termination for good reason, any Incentive Award outstanding at the time and all rights thereunder will terminate, and unless otherwise established by the Committee, no further vesting shall occur and the grantee shall be entitled to exercise his or her rights (if any) with respect to the portion of the Incentive Award vested as of the date of termination for a period of 30 calendar days after such termination date; provided, however, that if an Employee is terminated for cause, this employee’s right to exercise his or her rights (if any) with respect to the vested portion of his or her Incentive Award shall terminate as of the date of termination of employment. In the event of termination for death, disability, retirement, or in connection with a change in control, an Incentive Award may be only exercised as provided in an individual’s Incentive agreement, or as determined by the Committee.

Options

No Incentive Option may be granted with an exercise price per share less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Nonqualified Options may be granted at any exercise price. The exercise price of an Option may be paid in cash, by an equivalent method acceptable to the Committee, or, at the Committee’s discretion, by delivery of already owned shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, or, at the Committee’s discretion, by delivery of a combination of cash and already owned shares of Common Stock. However, if the optionee acquired the stock to be surrendered directly or indirectly from us, he or she must have owned the stock to be surrendered for at least six months prior to tendering such stock for the exercise of an Option.

An eligible employee (a “Grantee”) may receive more than one Incentive Option, but the maximum aggregate fair market value of the Common Stock (determined when the Incentive Option is granted) with respect to which Incentive Options are first exercisable by such employee in any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. In addition, no Incentive Option may be granted to an employee owning directly or indirectly stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock (a “Ten-Percent Shareholder”), unless the exercise price is not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to such Incentive Option on the date of grant. Awards of Nonqualified Options are not subject to these special limitations.

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, awards under the 2003 Incentive Plan are not transferable other than as designated by the Grantee by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The expiration date of an Incentive Option is determined by the Committee at the time of the grant, but in no event may an Incentive Option be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant of the Incentive Option (five years in the case of an Incentive Option granted to a Ten-Percent Shareholder).

SARs

SARs may be granted under the 2003 Incentive Plan in conjunction with all or part of an Option, or separately. The exercise price of the SAR shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option to which it relates. The SAR granted in conjunction with an Option will be exercisable only when the underlying Option is exercisable and once an SAR has been exercised, the related portion of the Option underlying the SAR will terminate. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the Company will pay to the Grantee in cash, Common Stock, or a combination thereof (the method of payment to be at the discretion of the Committee), an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the exercise date over the option price, multiplied by the number of SARs being exercised.

The Committee, either at the time of grant or at the time of exercise of any Nonqualified Option or SAR, may provide for a supplemental payment (a “Supplemental Payment”) by the Company to the Grantee with respect to the exercise of any Nonqualified Option or SAR, in an amount specified by the Committee, but which shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the federal income tax payable with respect to both the exercise of the Nonqualified Option and/or SAR and the receipt of the Supplemental Payment, based on the assumption that the shareholder is taxed at the maximum effective federal income tax rate on such amounts. The Committee shall have the discretion to grant Supplemental Payments that are payable in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of payment.

Restricted Stock

Restricted Stock awards may be granted under the 2003 Incentive Plan, and the provisions applicable to a grant of Restricted Stock may vary among participants. In making an award of Restricted Stock, the Committee will determine the periods during which the Restricted Stock is subject to forfeiture. During the restriction period, the Grantee may not sell, transfer, pledge or assign the Restricted Stock, but will be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock.

The Committee, at the time of vesting of Restricted Stock, may provide for a Supplemental Payment by the Company to the Grantee in an amount specified by the Committee that shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the federal income tax payable with respect to both the vesting of the Restricted Stock and receipt of the Supplemental Payment, based on the assumption that the employee is taxed at the maximum effective federal income tax rate on such amount.

Performance Units

The Committee may grant Incentive Awards representing a contingent right to receive cash (“Performance Units”) or shares of Common Stock (“Performance Shares”) at the end of a performance period. The Committee may grant Performance Units and Performance Shares in such a manner that more than one performance period is in progress concurrently. For each performance period, the Committee shall establish the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares and the contingent value of any Performance Units or Performance Shares, which may vary depending on the degree to which performance objectives established by the Committee are met. The Committee may modify the performance measures and objectives as it deems appropriate.

The basis for payment of Performance Units or Performance Shares for a given performance period shall be the achievement of those financial and nonfinancial performance objectives determined by the Committee at the beginning of the performance period. If minimum performance is not achieved for a performance period, no payment shall be made and all contingent rights shall cease. If minimum performance is achieved or exceeded, the value of a Performance Unit or Performance Share shall be based on the degree to which actual performance exceeded the pre-established minimum performance standards, as determined by the Committee. The amount of payment shall be determined by multiplying the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares granted at the beginning of the performance period by the final Performance Unit or Performance Share value. Payments shall be made, in the discretion of the Committee, solely in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock, following the close of the applicable performance period.

The Committee, at the date of payment with respect to such Performance Units or Performance Shares, may provide for a Supplemental Payment by the Company to the Grantee in an amount specified by the Committee, which shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the federal income tax payable with respect to the amount of payment made with respect to such Performance Units or Performance Shares and receipt of the Supplemental Payment, based on the assumption that the Grantee is taxed at the maximum effective federal income tax rate on such amount.

Tax Consequences

Under current tax laws, the grant of an Option generally will not be a taxable event to the optionee, and we will not be entitled to a deduction with respect to such grant.

Upon the exercise of a Nonqualified Option, an optionee will recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise equal to the excess of the then fair market value of the shares of Common Stock received over the exercise price. The taxable income recognized upon exercise of a Nonqualified Option will be treated as compensation income subject to withholding, and we will be entitled to deduct as a compensation expense an amount equal to the ordinary income an optionee recognizes with respect to such exercise. When Common Stock received upon the exercise of a Nonqualified Option subsequently is sold or exchanged in a taxable transaction, the holder thereof generally will recognize capital gain (or loss) equal to the difference between the total amount realized and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise; the character of such gain or loss as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss will depend upon the holding period of the shares following exercise.

The exercise of an Incentive Option will not be taxable to the optionee, and we will not be entitled to any deduction with respect to such exercise. However, to qualify for this favorable tax treatment of Incentive Options under the Code, the optionee may not dispose of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Option until after the later of two years following the date of grant or one year following the date of exercise. Upon any subsequent taxable disposition of shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of a qualifying Incentive Option, the optionee generally will recognize long-term or short-term capital gain (or loss) equal to the difference between the total amount realized and the exercise price of the Incentive Option.

If an Option that was intended to be an Incentive Option under the Code does not qualify for favorable Incentive Option treatment under the Code due to the failure to satisfy the holding period requirements, the optionee may recognize ordinary income in the year of the disqualifying disposition. The surrender of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Option in payment of the exercise price of an Option within the required holding period for Incentive Options under the Code will be a disqualifying disposition of the surrendered shares. Provided the amount realized in the disqualifying disposition exceeds the exercise price, the ordinary income an optionee shall recognize in the year of a disqualifying disposition shall be the lower of (i) the excess of the amount realized over the exercise price or (ii) excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the exercise over the exercise price. In addition, the optionee shall recognize capital gain on the disqualifying disposition in the amount, if any, by which the amount realized in the disqualifying disposition exceeds the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the exercise. Such capital gain shall be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain, depending on the optionee’s holding period for such shares.

Despite the favorable tax treatment of Incentive Option for regular tax purposes described above, an Incentive Option is generally treated in the same manner as a Nonqualified Option for alternative minimum tax purposes. Accordingly, an optionee must generally include in alternative minimum taxable income for the year in which an Incentive Option is exercised the excess of the fair market value on the date of exercise of the shares of Common Stock received over the exercise price. If, however, an optionee disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Option in the same calendar year as the exercise, only an amount equal to the optionee’s ordinary income for regular tax purposes with respect to such disqualifying disposition will be recognized for the optionee’s calculation of alternative minimum taxable income in such calendar year.

A Grantee receiving Restricted Stock generally will recognize ordinary income in the amount of the fair market value of the corresponding Common Stock at the time the Common Stock is no longer subject to forfeiture, less any consideration paid for the Common Stock. We will be entitled to a deduction at the same time and in the same amount. The holding period to determine whether the Grantee has long-term or short-term capital gain or loss

on a subsequent sale generally begins when the restriction period expires, and the Grantee’s tax basis for such Common Stock will generally equal the fair market value of such Common Stock on such date.

However, a Grantee may elect, under Section 83(b) of the Code, within 30 days of the grant of the Restricted Stock, to recognize taxable ordinary income on the date of grant equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Restricted Stock (determined without regard to the restrictions) over the price (if any) paid for the Restricted Stock. By reason of such an election, the Grantee’s holding period will commence on the date of grant and the Grantee’s tax basis will be equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on that date (determined without regard to restrictions). Likewise, we generally will be entitled to a deduction at that time in the amount that is taxable as ordinary income to the Grantee. If the shares of Common Stock are forfeited after making such an election, the forfeiture shall be treated as a sale or exchange upon which there is a capital loss equal to the excess of purchase price of the forfeited shares of Common Stock over any amount realized on such forfeiture.

Section 162(m) limitation

In general, under Section 162(m) of the Code, compensation expense deductions of publicly-held corporations may be limited to the extent total compensation (including base salary, annual bonus, stock option exercises and non-qualified benefits paid) for certain executive officers exceeds $1 million in any one year. However, under Code Section 162(m), the deduction limit does not apply to certain “performance-based compensation” established by an independent compensation committee which is adequately disclosed to, and approved by, shareholders. In particular, stock options and SARs will satisfy the “performance-based compensation” exception if the awards are made by a qualifying compensation committee, the plan sets the maximum number of shares that can be granted to any person within a specified period and the compensation is based solely on an increase in the stock price after the grant date (i.e., the option exercise price is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock subject to the award on the grant date). Under a Code Section 162(m) transition rule for compensation plans of corporations which are privately held and which become publicly held in an initial public offering, the 2003 Incentive Plan will not be subject to Code Section 162(m) until the “Transition Date” which is defined as the earliest of (i) the expiration of the 2003 Incentive Plan, (ii) the material modification of the 2003 Incentive Plan; (ii) the issuance of all Common Stock and other compensation that has been allocated under the 2003 Incentive Plan; or (iii) the first meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected that occurs after December 31, 2001. After the Transition Date, Incentive Awards granted under the 2003 Incentive Plan, other than Options and SARs, will not qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code Section 162(m) unless such Incentive Awards are granted or vested upon preestablished objective performance goals, the material terms of which are disclosed to and approved by our shareholders.

We have attempted to structure the 2003 Incentive Plan in such a manner that, after the Transition Date, subject to obtaining shareholder approval of the 2003 Incentive Plan, the remuneration attributable to Incentive Awards which meet the other requirements of Code Section 162(m) will not be subject to the $1,000,000 limitation. We have not, however, requested a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel regarding this issue.

Amendment and Termination

The Committee or the Board of Directors may from time to time amend, and the Board of Directors may terminate, the 2003 Incentive Plan, provided that no such action shall adversely affect purchase rights already granted thereunder without the consent of the employees and, provided further, that no amendment may be made without the approval of our shareholders if such shareholder approval of the amendment is necessary in order to comply with applicable law.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR this proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 4

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION;
CHANGE OF CORPORATE NAME

On October 31, 2003, our Board of Directors adopted an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our corporation’s name from Motorcar Parts & Accessories, Inc. to Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. The form of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit C.

To be effective, this amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation must be approved by our shareholders. The Board believes that the change of our corporate name is in the Company’s best interest to reflect the current nature of our business. Earlier in our history, we did sell car accessories. We discontinued this line of business more than 10 years ago, and the Board concluded it was appropriate to change our corporate name to make that name more consistent with our current business.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR this proposal.

MISCELLANEOUS

Shareholder Proposals

Any shareholder proposal intended to be presented at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the Company not later than June 8, 2004 for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting.

Other Matters

If any other matters or motions should properly come before the meeting, the persons named in the Proxy intend to vote on any such matter in accordance with their best judgment, including any matters or motions dealing with the conduct of the meeting.

1.1 PURPOSE.

The purpose of the Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to foster and promote the long-term financial success of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc.

disobedience or action that might reasonably injure the Company, Parent or Subsidiary or their business interests or reputation.

1.3 ADMINISTRATION.

(a) COMMITTEE POWERS. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate Grantees; (ii) determine the Incentive Awards to be granted to a Grantee and whether such Incentive Awards are to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code; (iii) subject to SECTION 1.4 of the Plan, determine the Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) to be covered by Incentive Awards and in connection therewith, to reserve shares of Common Stock as needed in order to cover grants of Incentive Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Incentive Award; provided however, that the terms and conditions of Incentive Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall include, but not limited to, such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Incentive Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property, or cancelled, substituted, forfeited or suspended, and the method or methods by which Incentive Awards may be settled, exercised, cancelled, substituted, forfeited or suspended; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Incentive Award made under, the Plan; (vii) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and guidelines as the Committee shall deem necessary or appropriate for administration of the Plan; (viii) appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the administration of the Plan; provided however, that the Committee shall not delegate any of the power or authority set forth in (i) through (vii) above; and (ix) make any other determination and take any other action that it deems necessary or desirable for such administration. No member of the Committee shall vote or act upon any matter relating solely to himself. All designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions with respect to the Plan or any Incentive Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons, including the Company, Parent or Subsidiary, any Grantee, any holder or beneficiary of any Incentive Award, any owner of an equity interest in the Company and any Employee.

(b) NO LIABILITY. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith by the Committee with respect to this Plan or any Incentive

Award under this Plan, and, to the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Committee.

(c) MEETINGS. The Committee shall designate a chairman from among its members, who shall preside at all of its meetings, and shall designate a secretary, without regard to whether that person is a member of the Committee, who shall keep the minutes of the proceedings and all records, documents, and data pertaining to its administration of the Plan. Meetings shall be held at such times and places as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may take any action otherwise proper under the Plan by the affirmative vote, taken with or without a meeting, of a majority of its members.

1.4 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

(a) COMMON STOCK AUTHORIZED. Subject to adjustment under SECTION 5.5, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for granting Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be equal to 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock. If any Incentive Award shall expire or terminate for any reason, without being exercised or paid, shares of Common Stock subject to such Incentive Award shall again be available for grant in connection with grants of subsequent Incentive Awards, subject to the limitations of SECTION 1.7.

(b) COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE. The Common Stock available for issuance or transfer under the Plan shall be made available from such shares reserved under the Plan, from such shares now or hereafter held by the Company or from such shares to be purchased or acquired by the Company. The Common Stock available for issuance or transfer under the Plan, if applicable, shall be made available from shares now or hereafter held by the Company or from such shares to be purchased or acquired by the Company. No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan; payment for fractional shares shall be made in cash.

(c) INCENTIVE AWARD ADJUSTMENTS. Subject to the limitations set forth in SECTIONS 1.7, 5.6 and 6.8, the Committee may make any adjustment in the exercise price or the number of shares subject to any Incentive Award, or any other terms of any Incentive Award. Such adjustment shall be made by amending, substituting or canceling and re-granting such Incentive Award with the inclusion of terms and conditions that may differ from the terms and conditions of the original Incentive Award. If such action is effected by amendment, the effective date of such amendment shall be the date of the original grant.

1.5 PARTICIPATION.

(a) ELIGIBILITY. The Committee shall from time to time designate those Employees, if any, to be granted Incentive Awards under the Plan, the type of awards granted, the number of shares, options, rights or units, as the case may be, which shall be granted to each such Employee and any other terms or conditions relating to the awards as it may deem appropriate, consistent with the provisions of the Plan. An Employee who has been granted an Incentive Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Incentive Awards at any time.

(b) NO NON-EMPLOYEE BOARD PARTICIPATION. In no event may any member of the Board who is not an Employee be granted an Incentive Award under the Plan.

1.6 INCENTIVE AWARDS.

The forms of Incentive Awards under this Plan are Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Supplemental Payments as described in SECTION 2, Restricted Stock and Supplemental Payments as described in SECTION 3, and Performance Units or Performance Shares and Supplemental Payments as described in SECTION 4.

1.7 MAXIMUM INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS.

To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, shares subject to Options which are canceled continue to be counted against the maximum number of shares an individual may receive and if, after grant of an Option, the price of shares subject to such Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and a grant of a new Option and both the Option deemed to be canceled and the Option deemed to be granted will be counted against the maximum number of shares an individual may receive. Furthermore, to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, if, after the grant of an SAR, the base amount which Appreciation is calculated is reduced to reflect a reduction in the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the SAR and a grant of a new SAR and both the SAR deemed to be cancelled and the SAR deemed to be granted will be counted against the maximum number of shares an individual may receive.

SECTION 2

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

2.1 GRANT OF OPTIONS.

The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Grantees in accordance with the terms and conditions required pursuant to this Plan and with such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine.

2.2 OPTION TERMS.

(a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under each Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided however, that, in the case of an Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option or as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of such stock on the date the Option is granted, as determined by the Committee (110% in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten-Percent Stockholder). For purposes of this SECTION 2.2, Ten-Percent Stockholder shall mean an individual owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, Parent or Subsidiary.

(b) TERM. The Committee shall fix the term of each Option which, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be not more than ten years from the date of grant. In the event no term is fixed, such term shall be ten years from the date of grant. The term shall be five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten-Percent Stockholder.

(c) EXERCISE. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of

any Option or a portion thereof at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that all or part of the Options received by a Grantee upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be Restricted Stock subject to any or all of the restrictions or conditions set forth in SECTION 3.2.

2.3 OPTION EXERCISES.

(a) METHOD OF EXERCISE. To purchase shares under any Option granted under the Plan, Grantees must give notice in writing to the Company of their intention to purchase and specify the number of shares of Common Stock as to which they intend to exercise their Option. Upon the date or dates specified for the completion of the purchase of the shares, the purchase price will be payable in full. The purchase price may be paid in cash or an equivalent acceptable to the Committee. At the discretion of the Committee, the exercise price per share of Common Stock may be paid by the assignment and delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock owned by the Grantee or a combination of cash and such shares equal in value to the exercise price. However, if the Grantee acquired the stock to be surrendered directly or indirectly from the Company, he must have owned the stock to be surrendered for at least six months prior to tendering such stock for the exercise of an Option. Any shares so assigned and delivered to the Company in payment or partial payment of the purchase price shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the exercise date. In addition, at the request of the Grantee and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company in its discretion may selectively approve a “cashless exercise” arrangement with a brokerage firm under which such brokerage firm, on behalf of the Grantee, shall pay to the Company the exercise price of the Options being exercised, and the Company, pursuant to an irrevocable notice from the Grantee, shall promptly deliver the shares being purchased to such firm.

(b) In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the terms and conditions of such grants shall be subject to and comply with Section 422 of the Code and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, including the requirement that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of date the date of grant) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and all other option plans of the Company, the Parent and Subsidiary become exercisable by a Grantee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence is exceeded for any reason (including the acceleration of the time for exercise of an Option), the Options with respect to such excess amount shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.

(c) PROCEEDS. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Options exercised under the Plan will be used for general purposes of the Company.

2.4 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

(a) GENERAL PROVISIONS. The Committee may grant SARs in connection with the grant of an Option (“Tandem SARs”) or independent of an Option (“Independent SARs” or collectively with the Tandem SARs “SARs”). The Committee, in its discretion, may determine whether an SAR is to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and Incentive Agreements evidencing SARs intended to so qualify shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b) TANDEM SARS. A Tandem SAR shall be issued in connection with the granting of an Option. A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the related Option is exercisable, and shall be subject to the conditions applicable to such Option. When a Tandem SAR is exercised, the Option to which it relates shall terminate to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Tandem SAR is exercised. Similarly, when an Option is exercised, the Tandem SAR relating to such Option shall terminate. Any Tandem SAR that is outstanding on the last day of the term of the related Option shall be automatically exercised on such date for cash without any action by the Grantee. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a Tandem SAR shall be fixed in the Incentive Award Agreement and shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the grant of the Option to which the Tandem SAR relates. Upon exercise of a Tandem SAR, the holder shall receive, for each share with respect to which the Tandem SAR is exercised, an amount equal to the Appreciation. The Appreciation shall be payable in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of both, at the option of the Committee, and shall be paid within 30 calendar days of the exercise of the Tandem SAR.

(c) INDEPENDENT SARS. An Independent SAR shall be unrelated to any Option and shall have a term set by the Committee. An Independent SAR shall be exercisable in such installments as the Committee may determine. An Independent SAR shall cover such number of shares of Common Stock as the Committee may determine. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each Independent SAR shall be set by the Committee, provided however, that the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each Independent SAR, that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Independent SAR, unless Incentive Agreements evidencing Independent SARs intended to so qualify shall contain such other terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code. Upon exercise of an Independent SAR, the holder shall receive, for each share with respect to which the Independent SAR is exercised, an amount equal to the Appreciation. The Appreciation shall be payable in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of both, at the option of the Committee, and shall be paid within 30 calendar days of the exercise of the Independent SAR.

2.5 SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT ON EXERCISE OF NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS OR STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

The Committee, either at the time of grant or at the time of exercise of any Non-Qualified Stock Option or SAR, may provide for a supplemental payment (the “Supplemental Payment”) by the Company to the Grantee with respect to the exercise of any Non-Qualified Stock Option or SAR. The Supplemental Payment shall be in the amount specified by the Committee, which shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the income tax payable with respect to both the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option and/or SAR and the receipt of the Supplemental Payment, assuming the holder is taxed at the maximum effective income tax rate(s) applicable thereto. The Committee shall have the discretion to grant Supplemental Payments that are payable solely in cash or Supplemental Payments that are payable in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of payment. The Supplemental Payment shall be paid within 30 calendar days of the date of exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option or SAR (or, if later, within 30 calendar days of the date on which income is recognized for income tax purposes with respect to such exercise).

SECTION 3

RESTRICTED STOCK

3.1 AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

(a) GRANT. In consideration of the performance of services by the Grantee, shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded under this Plan by the Committee on such terms and conditions and with such restrictions as the Committee may from time to time approve, all of which may differ with respect to each Grantee. Such Restricted Stock shall be awarded for no additional consideration or such additional consideration as the Committee shall determine.

(b) IMMEDIATE TRANSFER WITHOUT IMMEDIATE DELIVERY OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Each Restricted Stock Award will constitute an immediate transfer of the record and beneficial ownership of the shares of Restricted Stock to the Grantee in consideration of the performance of services, entitling such Grantee to all voting and other ownership rights, but subject to the restrictions hereinafter referred to. Each Restricted Stock Award may limit the Grantee’s dividend rights during the Restriction Period in which the shares of Restricted Stock are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer. Shares of Common Stock awarded pursuant to a grant of Restricted Stock will be held by the Company, or in trust or in escrow pursuant to an agreement satisfactory to the Committee, as determined by the Committee, until such time as the restrictions on transfer have expired. Any such trust or escrow shall not be insulated from the claims of the general creditors of the Company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

3.2 RESTRICTIONS.

(a) RESTRICTIVE CONDITIONS. Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restriction Period: (i) the shares of Common Stock of the Company included in the Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to one or more restrictions, including without limitation, a restriction that constitutes a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, and to the restrictions on transferability set forth in SECTION 5.2; (ii) unless otherwise approved by the Committee, the shares of Common Stock included in the Restricted Stock Award that are subject to restrictions that are not satisfied at such time the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company shall be forfeited and all rights of the Grantee to such shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company when an Employee leaves the employ of the Company; and (iii) any other restrictions that the Committee may determine in advance are necessary or appropriate.

(b) FORFEITURE OF RESTRICTED STOCK. If for any reason, the restrictions imposed by the Committee upon Restricted Stock are not satisfied at the end of the Restriction Period, any Restricted Stock remaining subject to such restrictions shall thereupon be forfeited by the Grantee and re-acquired by the Company.

(c) REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS. The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock, including the restrictions under the Restriction Period, whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or other

changes in circumstances arising after the date of the Restricted Stock Award, such action is appropriate.

3.3 RESTRICTION PERIOD.

The Restriction Period of Restricted Stock shall commence on the date of grant and shall be established by the Committee in the Incentive Award Agreement setting forth the terms of the award of Restricted Stock.

3.4 DELIVERY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

Subject to SECTION 6.3, at the expiration of the Restriction Period, a stock certificate evidencing the Restricted Stock (to the nearest full share) with respect to which the Restriction Period has expired with all restrictions thereon having been satisfied shall be delivered without charge to the Grantee, or his personal representative, free of all restrictions under the Plan.

3.5 SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT ON VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

The Committee, either at the time of grant or at the time of vesting of Restricted Stock, may provide for a Supplemental Payment by the Company to the holder in an amount specified by the Committee, which shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the income tax payable with respect to both the vesting of the Restricted Stock and receipt of the Supplemental Payment, assuming the Grantee is taxed at the maximum effective income tax rate(s) applicable thereto. The Supplemental Payment shall be paid within 30 calendar days of each date that Restricted Stock vests. The Committee shall have the discretion to grant Supplemental Payments that are payable solely in cash or Supplemental Payments that are payable in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of payment.

3.6 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SECTION 162(M) PARTICIPANTS.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant Restricted Stock to a Section 162(m) Participant the restrictions with respect to which lapse upon the attainment of performance goals for the Company which are related to one or more of the following business criteria: (i) pre-tax income, (ii) operating income, (iii) cash flow, (iv) earnings per share, (v) return on equity, (vi) return on invested capital or assets, (vii) cost reductions or savings, (viii) funds from operations, (ix) appreciation in the fair market value of Common Stock and (x) earnings before any one or more of the following items: interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization.

(b) To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to Restricted Stock which may be granted to one or more Section 162(m) Participants, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (i) designate one or more Section 162(m) Participants, (ii) select the performance goal or goals applicable to the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period of service, (iii) establish the various targets and amounts of Restricted Stock which may be earned for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service and (iv) specify the relationship between performance goals and targets and the amounts of Restricted Stock to be earned by each

Section 162(m) Participant for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. Following the completion of each fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable performance targets have been achieved for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period of service. In determining the amount earned by a Section 162(m) Participant, the Committee shall have the right to reduce (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service.

SECTION 4

PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

4.1 PERFORMANCE BASED AWARDS.

(a) GRANT. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Units and Performance Shares to Grantees. The Committee may make grants of Performance Units or Performance Shares in such manner that more than one Performance Period is in progress concurrently. For each Performance Period, the Committee shall establish the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares and the contingent value of any Performance Units or Performance Shares, which may vary depending on the degree to which performance objectives established by the Committee are met.

(b) PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. At the beginning of each Performance Period, the Committee shall (i) establish for such Performance Period specific financial or nonfinancial performance objectives as the Committee believes are relevant to the Company’s overall business objectives; (ii) determine the value of a Performance Unit or the number of shares under a Performance Share grant relative to performance objectives; (iii) notify each Grantee in writing of the established performance objectives and minimum, target, and maximum Performance Unit or Share value for such Performance Period.

(c) MODIFICATION. If the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the established performance measures or objectives are no longer suitable to Company objectives because of a change in the Company’s business operations, corporate structure, capital structure, or other conditions the Committee deems to be appropriate, the Committee may modify the performance measures and objectives as considered appropriate.

(d) PAYMENT. The basis for payment of Performance Units or Performance Shares for a given Performance Period shall be the achievement of those financial and nonfinancial performance objectives determined by the Committee at the beginning of the Performance Period. If minimum performance is not achieved for a Performance Period, no payment shall be made and all contingent rights shall cease. If minimum performance is achieved or exceeded, the value of a Performance Unit or Performance Share shall be based on the degree to which actual performance exceeded the pre-established minimum performance standards, as determined by the Committee. The amount of payment shall be determined by multiplying the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares granted at the beginning of the Performance Period times the final Performance Unit or Performance Share value. Payments shall be made, in the discretion of the Committee, solely

in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock, following the close of the applicable Performance Period.

4.2 SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT ON VESTING OF PERFORMANCE UNITS OR PERFORMANCE SHARES.

The Committee, either at the time of grant or at the time of vesting of Performance Units or Performance Shares (other than Restricted Stock), may provide for a Supplemental Payment by the Company to the holder in an amount specified by the Committee which shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the income tax payable with respect to both the vesting of such Performance Units or Performance Shares and receipt of the Supplemental Payment, assuming the Grantee is taxed at the maximum effective income tax rate(s) applicable thereto. The Supplemental Payment shall be paid within 30 days of each date that such Performance Units or Performance Shares vest. The Committee shall have the discretion to grant Supplemental Payments that are payable in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of payment.

4.3 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SECTION 162(M) PARTICIPANTS.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant any Performance Units or Performance Shares described in this Section 4 to a Section 162(m) Participant that vest or become exercisable or payable upon the attainment of performance goals for the Company which are related to one or more of the following business criteria: (i) pre-tax income, (ii) operating income, (iii) cash flow, (iv) earnings per share, (v) return on equity, (vi) return on invested capital or assets, (vii) cost reductions or savings, (viii) funds from operations, (ix) appreciation in the fair market value of Common Stock and (x) earnings before any one or more of the following items: interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization.

(b) To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to Performance Units or Performance Shares described in this Section 4 which may be granted to one or more Section 162(m) Participants, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing,(i) designate one or more Section 162(m) Participants, (ii) select the performance goal or goals applicable to the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, (iii) establish the various targets and bonus amounts which may be earned for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service and (iv) specify the relationship between performance goals and targets and the amounts to be earned by each Section 162(m) Participant for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. Following the completion of each fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable performance targets have been achieved for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. In determining the amount earned by a Section 162(m) Participant, the Committee shall have the right to reduce (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service.

SECTION 5

PROVISIONS RELATING TO PLAN PARTICIPATION

5.1 PLAN CONDITIONS.

(a) INCENTIVE AWARD AGREEMENT. Each Grantee to whom an Incentive Award is granted under the Plan shall be required to enter into an Incentive Award Agreement with the Company in a form provided by the Committee, which shall contain certain specific terms, as determined by the Committee, with respect to the Incentive Award and shall include provisions that the Grantee (i) shall not disclose any trade or secret data or any other confidential information of the Company acquired during employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, or after the termination of employment or Retirement, (ii) shall abide by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as may be imposed by the Committee, and (iii) shall not interfere with the employment of any other Company employee. An Incentive Award may include a noncompetition agreement with respect to the Grantee and/or such other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, rights of repurchase or first refusal, not inconsistent with the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee. Incentive Award Agreements evidencing Incentive Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b) NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan, Incentive Award Agreement or any instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall create any employment rights (including without limitation, rights to continued employment) in any Grantee or affect the right of the Company to terminate the employment of any Grantee at any time for any reason whether before the exercise date of any Option or during the Restriction Period of any Restricted Stock or during the Performance Period of any Performance Unit or Performance Share.

(c) SECURITIES REQUIREMENTS. No shares of Common Stock will be issued or transferred pursuant to an Incentive Award unless and until all then-applicable requirements imposed by federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction and by any stock market or exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed, have been fully met. As a condition precedent to the issuance of shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Incentive Award, the Company may require the Grantee to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of shares pursuant to an Incentive Award to comply with any law or regulation described in the second preceding sentence.

5.2 TRANSFERABILITY.

(a) NON-TRANSFERABLE AWARD. Unless otherwise provided in an Incentive Award Agreement, no Incentive Award and no right under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, other than Restricted Stock as to which restrictions have lapsed, shall be (i) assignable, saleable, or otherwise transferable by a Grantee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, or (ii) subject to any encumbrance, pledge or charge of any nature. No transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with a copy of the

deceased Grantee’s will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. Any attempted transfer in violation of this SECTION 5.2 shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.

(b) ABILITY TO EXERCISE RIGHTS. Only the Grantee or his guardian (if the Grantee becomes Disabled), or in the event of his death, his legal representative or beneficiary, may exercise Options, receive cash payments and deliveries of shares, or otherwise exercise rights under the Plan. The executor or administrator of the Grantee’s estate, or the person or persons to whom the Grantee’s rights under any Incentive Award will pass by will or the laws of descent or distribution, shall be deemed to be the Grantee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries of the rights of the Grantee hereunder and shall be entitled to exercise such rights as are provided hereunder.

5.3 RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.

Except as otherwise provided in any Incentive Award Agreement, a Grantee of an Incentive Award or a transferee of such Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock until such person becomes a holder of record of such Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 5.5, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities, or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

5.4 LISTING AND REGISTRATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

Prior to issuance and/or delivery of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall consult with representatives of the Company, as appropriate, regarding compliance with laws, rules and regulations that apply to such shares. If necessary, the Company shall postpone the issuance and/or delivery of the affected shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of an Incentive Award until completion of such stock exchange listing, registration, or other qualification of such shares under any state and/or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any Grantee to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of shares pursuant to an Incentive Award to comply with any law, rule or regulation described in the immediately preceding sentence.

5.5 CHANGE IN STOCK AND ADJUSTMENTS.

(a) CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. In the event the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, as constituted from time to time, shall be changed as a result of a change in capitalization of the Company or a combination, merger, or reorganization of the Company into or with any other corporation or any other transaction with similar effects, then, for all purposes, references herein to Common Stock or Restricted Stock shall mean and include all securities or other property (other than cash) that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive in respect of Common Stock by reason of each successive aforementioned event, which securities or other property (other than cash) shall be treated in the same manner and shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Common Stock or Restricted Stock.

(b) CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCE. In the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any dilution of the

rights granted under the Plan, or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment because it interferes with the intended operation of the Plan, then if the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares of stock or other securities or property theretofore subject, or which may become subject, to issuance or transfer under the Plan or in the terms and conditions of outstanding Incentive Awards, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination. Such adjustments may include without limitation changes with respect to (i) the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan, (ii) the number of shares subject to Incentive Awards and (iii) the price per share for outstanding Incentive Awards. The Committee shall give notice to each Grantee, and upon notice such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

(c) PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SECTION 162(m) PARTICIPANTS. With respect to any Incentive Award granted to any Section 162(m) Participant that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C), no adjustment or action described in this Section 5.5 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause such Incentive Award to fail to so qualify under Section 162(m)(4)(C) or any successor provision thereto. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Committee determines that the Option or other award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions.

5.6 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, DEATH, DISABILITY AND RETIREMENT.

(a) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Subject to SECTION 3.2, if an Employee’s employment with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary is terminated for any reason whatsoever other than death, Disability, Retirement, Involuntary Termination or Termination for Good Reason, any Incentive Award granted pursuant to the Plan outstanding at the time and all rights thereunder shall wholly and completely terminate, and unless otherwise established by the Committee, no further vesting shall occur and the Employee shall be entitled to exercise his or her rights with respect to the portion of the Incentive Award vested as of the date of termination for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after such termination date; provided however, that if an Employee is Terminated for Cause, such Employee’s right to exercise the vested portion of his or her Incentive Award shall terminate as of the date of termination of employment. In the event of termination for death, Disability, Retirement, or Change of Control, an Incentive Award may only be exercised as determined by the Committee and provided in the Incentive Award Agreement. However, the following shall be used as a general guideline.

(b) RETIREMENT. Subject to SECTION 3.2, unless otherwise approved by the Committee, upon Retirement of an Employee:

(i) any nonvested portion of any outstanding Incentive Award shall continue to vest after Retirement; and

(ii) any vested Incentive Award shall expire on the earlier of (A) the expiration date set forth in the Incentive Award Agreement with respect to such Incentive Awards; or (B) the expiration of six (6) months after the date of Retirement.

(c) DISABILITY OR DEATH. Subject to SECTION 3.2, unless otherwise approved by the Committee, upon termination of employment from the Company, Parent or Subsidiary as a result of Disability or death:

(i) any nonvested portion of any outstanding Incentive Award shall continue to vest after Disability or death; and

(ii) any vested Incentive Award shall expire upon the earlier of (A) the expiration date set forth in the Incentive Award Agreement with respect to such Incentive Awards; or (B) the first anniversary of such termination of such employment as a result of Disability or death.

(d) INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION. Subject to SECTION 3.2, unless otherwise approved by the Committee, upon termination of employment from the Company, Parent or Subsidiary as a result of Involuntary Termination (not Change of Control):

(i) any nonvested portion or any outstanding Incentive Award shall vest on a pro-rated basis based upon the number of months the terminated Employee has been employed within the applicable Performance Period or Term; and

(ii) any vested Incentive Award shall expire upon the earlier of (A) the expiration date set forth in the Incentive Award Agreement with respect to such Incentive Awards or (B) the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date of Termination.

(e) CONTINUATION. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and the terms of any applicable Incentive Award Agreement, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for the continuation of any Incentive Award for such period and upon such terms and conditions as are determined by the Committee in the event that a Grantee ceases to be an employee.

5.7 CHANGES OF CONTROL.

(a) CHANGES OF CONTROL. In the event of Involuntary Termination or Termination for Good Reason within two years after a Change of Control:

(i) all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding shall become vested and immediately exercisable, notwithstanding any provision therein for the exercise in installments;

(ii) all restrictions and conditions of all Restricted Stock then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied, and the Restriction Period with respect thereto shall be deemed to have expired, as of the date of the Change of Control; and

(iii) to the extent determined by the Committee, all Performance Shares and Performance Units shall become vested, deemed earned in full and promptly paid to the Grantees without regard to payment schedules and notwithstanding that the applicable performance cycle or retention cycle shall not have been completed.

For the purposes of this SECTION 5.7, a “Change of Control” shall mean a change of control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act as such Schedule, Regulation and Act were in effect on the date of adoption of this Plan by the Board, assuming that such Schedule, Regulation and

Act applied to the Company, provided that such change of control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:

(i) any “person” (as that term is used in SECTION 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or an affiliate of the Company) becomes, directly or indirectly, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities representing 30% or more of the combined voting power for election of members of the Board of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company or any successor of the Company;

(ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years or less, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of the Company cease, for any reason, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election or nomination for election of each new member of the Board was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board then still in office who were members of the Board at the beginning of the period;

(iii) the equity holders of the Company approve any merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party as a result of which the persons who were equity holders of the Company immediately prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation (and excluding, however, any shares held by any party to such merger or consolidation and their affiliates) shall have beneficial ownership of less than 50% of the combined voting power for election of members of the Board (or equivalent) of the surviving entity following the effective date of such merger or consolidation; or

(iv) the equity holders of the Company approve any merger or consolidation as a result of which the equity interests in the Company shall be changed, converted or exchanged (other than a merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) or any liquidation of the Company or any sale or other disposition of 50% or more of the assets or earnings power of the Company; provided however, that no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if, prior to such time as a Change of Control would otherwise be deemed to have occurred, the Board determines otherwise.

(b) RIGHT OF CASH-OUT. If approved by the Board prior to or within thirty (30) days after such time as a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred, the Board shall have the right for a forty-five (45) day period immediately following the date that the Change of Control is deemed to have occurred to require all, but not less than all, Grantees to transfer and deliver to the Company all Incentive Awards previously granted to Grantees in exchange for an amount equal to the “cash value” (defined below) of the Incentive Awards. Such right shall be exercised by written notice to all Grantees. For purposes of this SECTION 5.7(b), the cash value of an Incentive Award shall equal the sum of (i) all cash to which the Grantee would be entitled upon settlement or exercise of such Incentive Award and (ii) the excess of the “market value” (defined below) per share over the option price, if any, multiplied by the number of shares subject to such Incentive Award. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “market value” per share shall mean the higher of (i) the average of the Fair Market Value per share on each of the five trading days immediately following the date a Change of Control is deemed to have occurred or (ii) the highest price, if any, offered in connection with a Change of Control. The amount payable to each Grantee by the Company pursuant to this SECTION 5.7(b) shall be in cash or by certified check and shall be reduced by any taxes required to be withheld.

5.8 AMENDMENTS TO INCENTIVE AWARDS.

The Committee may waive any conditions or rights with respect to, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any unexercised Incentive Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, with the consent of any relevant Grantee, subject to the limitations of SECTION 1.7.

5.9 EXCHANGE OF INCENTIVE AWARDS.

The Committee may, in its discretion, permit Grantees under the Plan to surrender outstanding Incentive Awards in order to exercise or realize the rights under other Incentive Awards, or in exchange for the grant of new Incentive Awards or require holders of Incentive Awards to surrender outstanding Incentive Awards as a condition precedent to the grant of new Incentive Awards.

5.10 FINANCING.

The Company may extend and maintain, or arrange for the extension and maintenance of, financing to any Grantee (including a Grantee who is a Director of the Company) to purchase shares pursuant to exercise of an Incentive Award on such terms as may be approved by the Committee in its sole discretion. In considering the terms for extension or maintenance of credit by the Company, the Committee shall, among other factors, consider the cost to the Company of any financing extended by the Company.

SECTION 6

MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 EFFECTIVE DATE AND GRANT PERIOD.

This Plan shall become effective as of the date of Board approval (the “Effective Date”). Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate on October 31, 2013, unless extended. After the termination of the Plan, no Incentive Awards may be granted under the Plan, but previously granted awards shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions.

6.2 FUNDING.

Except as provided under SECTION 3, no provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets in a manner that would provide any Grantee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund if such action would provide any Grantee with any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. Grantees shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under applicable law. However, the Company may establish a “Rabbi Trust” for purposes of securing the payment pursuant to a Change of Control.

6.3 WITHHOLDING TAXES.

The Company shall have the right to (i) make deductions from any settlement of an Incentive Award made under the Plan, including the delivery of shares, or require shares or cash or both be withheld from any Incentive Award, in each case in an amount sufficient to satisfy withholding of any federal, state or local taxes required by law, or (ii) take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to satisfy any such withholding obligations. The Committee may determine the manner in which such tax withholding may be satisfied, and may permit shares of Common Stock (rounded up to the next whole number) to be used to satisfy required tax withholding based on the Fair Market Value of any such shares of Common Stock, as of the delivery of shares or payment of cash in satisfaction of the applicable Incentive Award.

6.4 CONFLICTS WITH PLAN.

In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Plan and an Incentive Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

6.5 NO GUARANTEE OF TAX CONSEQUENCES.

Neither the Company nor the Committee makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person participating or eligible to participate hereunder.

6.6 SEVERABILITY.

In the event that any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be fully severable, but shall not affect the remaining provision of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never been included herein.

6.7 GENDER, TENSE AND HEADINGS.

Whenever the context requires such, words of the masculine gender used herein shall include the feminine and neuter, and words used in the singular shall include the plural. Section headings as used herein are inserted solely for convenience and reference and constitute no part of the Plan.

6.8 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

The Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by the Board by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members in office. The Plan, however, shall not be amended, without prior written consent of each affected Grantee if such amendment or termination of the Plan would adversely affect any material vested benefits or rights of such person.

6.9 SECTION 280G PAYMENTS.

In the event that the aggregate present value of the payments to a Grantee under the Plan, and any other plan, program, or arrangement maintained by the Company constitutes an “excess parachute payment” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(1)) and the excise tax on such payment would cause the net parachute payments (after taking into account federal, state and local income and excise taxes) to which the Grantee otherwise would be entitled to be less than what the

Grantee would have netted (after taking into account federal, state and local income taxes) had the present value of his total parachute payments equaled $1.00 less than three times his “base amount” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(3)(A)), the Grantee’s total “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A) shall be reduced (by the minimum possible amount) so that their aggregate present value equals $1.00 less than three times such base amount. For purposes of this calculation, it shall be assumed that the Grantee’s tax rate will be the maximum marginal federal, state and local income tax rate on earned income, with such maximum federal rate to be computed with regard to Code Section 1(g), if applicable. In the event that the Grantee and the Company are unable to agree as to the amount of the reduction described above, if any, the Grantee shall select a law firm or accounting firm from among those regularly consulted (during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the change of control that resulted in the characterization of the payments as parachute payments) by the Company regarding federal income tax or employee benefit matters and such law firm or accounting firm shall determine the amount of such reduction and such determination shall be final and binding upon the Grantee and the Company.

6.10 GOVERNING LAW.

The Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except as superseded by federal law, and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code and regulations or other authority issued thereunder by the appropriate governmental authority.

6.11 LIMITATIONS APPLICABLE TO SECTION 16 PERSONS AND PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, this Plan, and any Incentive Award granted to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan, and Incentive Awards granted hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Performance Unit or Performance Share described in Section 4 which is granted to a Section 162(m) Participant and is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and this Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Plan has been executed this th day of , 2003, to be effective as of , 2003.
