PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation


We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008 and the related consolidated income statements and statements of cash flows for the thirteen week periods ended May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.


We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.


Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of February 1, 2009, and the related consolidated income statement, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statement of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 25, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2009, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)


1.  GENERAL


The Company’s fiscal years are based on the 52-53 week period ending on the Sunday closest to February 1 and are designated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise.


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Reference should be made to the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2009.


The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.


The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. The data contained in these financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments. However, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.


Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the prior year periods to present that information on a basis consistent with the current year.


References to the brand names Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein, Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, IZOD, Eagle, Bass, G.H. Bass & Co., Geoffrey Beene, ARROW, BCBG Max Azria, BCBG Attitude, CHAPS, Sean John, Donald J.

Garcia, Claiborne, U.S. POLO ASSN., Axcess and Timberland and to other brand names are to registered trademarks owned by the Company or licensed to the Company by third parties and are identified by italicizing the brand name.


2.  INVENTORIES


Inventories related to the Company’s wholesale operations, comprised principally of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventories related to the Company’s retail operations, comprised entirely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of average cost or market using the retail inventory method. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of inventories at cost is calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories. Permanent and point of sale markdowns, when recorded, reduce both the retail and cost components of inventory on hand so as to maintain the already established cost-to-retail relationship. Cost for certain apparel and accessory inventories is determined using the last-in, first-out method (“LIFO”). Cost for principally all other inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”). At May 3, 2009, February 1, 2009 and Ma y 4, 2008, no LIFO reserves were recorded because LIFO cost approximated FIFO cost.


3.  ACQUISITION OF BLOCK ASSETS


The Company acquired in February 2009 from Block Corporation (“Block”), a former licensee of Van Heusen and IZOD “big and tall” sportswear in the United States, inventories and inventory purchase commitments related to the licensed business. As part of this transaction, the license agreements between the Company and Block were terminated. The Company paid $5,699 during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2009 in connection with the transaction. The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 141R, “Business Combinations.” As such, the Company recorded an amortizable intangible asset of $1,401 for reacquired license rights and goodwill of $2,420 in connection with the transaction.


5



4.  ACQUISITION OF CMI


The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Confezioni Moda Italia, S.r.L. (“CMI”) from Warnaco, Inc. (“Warnaco”) on January 30, 2008. CMI is the licensee of the Calvin Klein Collection apparel and accessories businesses under agreements with the Company’s Calvin Klein, Inc. subsidiary. Warnaco acquired the shares of CMI in January 2008 and was obligated to operate the Calvin Klein Collection businesses through 2013. In return for the Company’s assuming ownership of CMI, Warnaco made a payment of $38,500 to the Company in the first quarter of 2008. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the amount paid to the Company is subject to certain refund provisions if the Company were to cease operating the Calvin Klein Collection businesses prior to 2012. The Company will amortize into income each year that it continues to operate such businesses the amount set forth in the acquisi tion agreement that would have been refunded to Warnaco for such year if the Company had ceased operating such businesses. Each amount so amortized is recorded in equal quarterly installments. As part of this transaction, the Company paid to Warnaco $17,146 in the first quarter of 2008 based on a percentage of Warnaco’s estimate of the net working capital of CMI as of the closing date. This amount is subject to adjustment. The Company subsequently adjusted during 2008 the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the Company’s calculation of the working capital of CMI as of the closing date. Pursuant to the process set forth in the amended acquisition agreement, the Company has submitted its calculation of the closing date working capital to Warnaco and Warnaco has disputed the calculation. Warnaco and the Company are in discussion to resolve the disputed calculation. The Company’s 2009 results of operations could be impacted depending on the outcome of these discussions. The Compa ny granted Warnaco certain new licenses and expanded certain existing license rights as part of the CMI transaction.


5.  ACQUISITION OF MULBERRY ASSETS


The Company acquired in April 2008 certain assets (including certain trademark licenses, inventories and receivables) of Mulberry Thai Silks, Inc. (“Mulberry”), a manufacturer and distributor of neckwear in the United States. The Company acquired the rights to produce and market neckwear under the Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, J. Garcia, Claiborne, Sean John, BCBG Max Azria, BCBG Attitude, U.S. POLO ASSN. and Axcess brands in connection with this transaction. The Company paid $9,557, including transaction expenses, in the first quarter of 2008 in connection with the acquisition.


6. SUPERBA CONTINGENT PURCHASE PRICE PAYMENTS


Contingent purchase price payments to Superba relate to the Company’s acquisition in 2006 of substantially all of the assets of Superba, Inc. (now known as Skipper, Inc., “Superba”). The Company is obligated to make contingent purchase price payments to Superba if the earnings of the acquired business exceed certain targets in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Any such contingent purchase price payments would be payable 90 days after the applicable year end and are recorded as additions to goodwill. The Company paid Superba $14,517 in the first quarter of 2008 based on the actual calculation of 2007 earnings, as defined in the underlying asset purchase agreement, achieved by the acquired business.  The acquired business did not achieve the minimum earnings in 2008 required for a payout in 2009. The maximum payout that Superba can receive with respect to earnings in 2009 is $30,000.

Contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein relate to the Company’s acquisition in 2003 of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Calvin Klein, Inc. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, “Calvin Klein”). Such payments are based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales, as defined in the agreement governing the Calvin Klein acquisition, of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands and are required to be made with respect to sales made during the first 15 years following the closing of the acquisition. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein are made are wholesale sales by the Company and its licensees and other licensing partners to retailers.


8.  RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS


The Company has five noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements. For those vested (after five years of service), the plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement based on career compensation and years of credited service.


The Company also has for certain of such employees an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan, which provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon employment termination or retirement, or shortly thereafter.


In addition to the defined benefit pension plans described above, the Company has a capital accumulation program (“CAP Plan”), which is an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan covering six current and 15 retired executives. Under the individual participants’ CAP Plan agreements, the participants will receive a predetermined amount during the 10 years following the attainment of age 65, provided that prior to the termination of employment with the Company, the participant has been in the CAP Plan for at least 10 years and has attained age 55.


The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of this plan, which is unfunded. During 2002, the postretirement plan was amended to eliminate benefits for active participants who, as of January 1, 2003, had not attained age 55 and 10 years of service.


Net benefit cost was recognized as follows:

10.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


The Company adopted prospectively FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” as of the beginning of 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually).  The Company adopted prospectively FASB Statement No. 157 for all other non-financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of 2009.  FASB Statement No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  It also establishes a three level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.  The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:


Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.


Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.


Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.


At May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  


In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the quarter ended May 4, 2009, and the total losses recorded as a result of the remeasurement process.

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $136 were written down to a fair value of zero. Such assets were deemed to have no future use or economic benefit and therefore no expected future cash flows, resulting in an impairment charge for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2009.


11.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


The Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) was approved at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in June 2006. The 2006 Plan replaced the Company’s existing 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. The 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans terminated on the date of such approval, other than with respect to outstanding options under those plans, which continue to be governed by the respective plan under which they were granted. Shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions have generally been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock.


The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2006 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options (“NQs”); (ii) incentive stock options (“ISOs”); (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (vi) performance shares; and (vii) other stock-based awards. Each award granted under the 2006 Plan is subject to an award agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, applicable performance period(s) and performance measure(s), and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines.


Through May 3, 2009, the Company has granted service-based NQs and RSUs, as well as contingently issuable performance shares under the 2006 Plan. According to the terms of the 2006 Plan, for purposes of determining the


8



number of shares available for grant, each share underlying a stock option award reduces the number available by one share and each share underlying an RSU or performance share award reduces the number available by three shares for awards made before April 29, 2009 and by two shares for awards made on or after April 29, 2009. The per share exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant (the business day prior to the date of grant for awards granted prior to September 21, 2006).


The Company currently has service-based NQs and ISOs outstanding under its 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant.


Net income for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008 included $2,663 and $2,320, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation.


Options currently outstanding are generally cumulatively exercisable in four equal installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The vesting of options outstanding is also accelerated upon retirement (as defined in the applicable plan). Options are generally granted with a 10-year term.


The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The estimated fair value of the options, net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting period.


The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of service-based stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008, respectively:

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 in December 2007. SAB No. 110 allows for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the simplified method discussed in SAB No. 107 for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” stock options. The Company has continued to utilize the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its stock options granted and will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method.

RSUs granted to employees generally vest in three installments commencing two years after the date of grant. RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in four equal installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The RSU award agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the RSUs, net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the RSUs’ vesting period.

The Company’s executive officers received contingently issuable performance share awards during the first quarters of 2008 and 2007, subject to performance periods of three years. For non-vested performance share awards at May 3, 2009, the final number of shares that will be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for each of the performance periods based on both earnings per share growth and return on equity during the applicable performance cycle. Depending on the level of objectives achieved, up to a total number of 89 and 69 shares could be issued for non-vested performance share awards granted in the first quarters of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company records expense for the contingently issuable performance shares ratably based on fair value and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately be issued. The fair value of the contingently iss uable performance shares is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced for the present value of any dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock during the performance cycle, as the contingently issuable performance shares do not accrue dividends prior to being earned.

The Company currently does not expect any of the non-vested performance shares at May 3, 2009 to ultimately be issued.


The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock plan awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008 were $504 and $856, respectively. Of those amounts, $106 and $681, respectively, were reported as excess tax benefits. Excess tax benefits arise when the actual tax benefit resulting from a stock plan award transaction exceeds the tax benefit associated with the grant date fair value of the related stock award.


12.  ACTIVITY EXIT COSTS


The Company announced in the fourth quarter of 2008 that it initiated a series of actions to respond to the difficult economic conditions by restructuring certain of its operations and implementing a number of other cost reduction efforts. The restructuring initiatives include the shutdown of domestic production of machine-made neckwear, a realignment of the Company’s global sourcing organizational structure, reductions in warehousing capacity and other initiatives to reduce corporate and administrative expenses. In connection with these actions, the Company’s salaried positions were reduced by over 10% and the Company’s machine-made neckwear manufacturing positions were eliminated. The salaried position reductions were principally at corporate headquarter locations in New York, New York and corporate administrative offices in Bridgewater, New Jersey and Hong Kong. The manufacturing position reductions were in Los Angeles, California.

13.  SALE OF INVESTMENTS


Warnaco acquired 100% of the shares of the companies that operate the licenses and related wholesale and retail businesses of Calvin Klein jeans and accessories in Europe and Asia and the ck Calvin Klein bridge line of sportswear and accessories in Europe on January 31, 2006. The Company’s Calvin Klein, Inc. subsidiary is the licensor of the businesses sold and had minority interests in certain of the entities sold. The Company received a distribution of $1,864 during the first quarter of 2008, representing its share of the amount that remained in escrow in connection with this sale. The Company recorded this amount as a gain in the first quarter of 2008.

According to FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” contingently issuable shares that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period should not be included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for that period. The Company granted contingently issuable performance shares during the first quarters of 2008 and 2007 that did not meet the performance conditions as of May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for the contingently issuable performance shares was 158 and 171 as of May 3, 2009 and May 4, 2008, respectively. These contingently issuable performance shares were also excluded from the computation of weighted average antidilutive securities.


15.  NONCASH INVESTING TRANSACTIONS


During the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded increases to goodwill of $8,712 and $9,299, respectively, related to liabilities incurred for contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein. Such amounts are not due or paid in cash until 45 days subsequent to the Company’s applicable quarter end. As such, during the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, the Company paid $9,585 and $11,272, respectively, in cash related to contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein that were recorded as additions to goodwill during the periods the liabilities were incurred.


16.  SEGMENT DATA


The Company manages its operations through its operating divisions, which are aggregated into five reportable segments:  (i) Wholesale Dress Furnishings; (ii) Wholesale Sportswear and Related Products; (iii) Retail Apparel and Related Products; (iv) Retail Footwear and Related Products; and (v) Calvin Klein Licensing.

OVERVIEW


The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this report.


We are one of the largest apparel companies in the world, with a heritage dating back over 125 years. Our brand portfolio consists of nationally recognized brand names, including Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Bass and Eagle, which are owned, and Geoffrey Beene, Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, BCBG Max Azria, BCBG Attitude, Sean John, JOE Joseph Abboud, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Michael Kors Collection, CHAPS, Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, Ike Behar, J. Garcia, Claiborne, Jones New York and Timberland, which are licensed.


We faced a very challenging environment during the second half of 2008, which has continued into 2009. The global economic crisis began early in 2008 in the United States, affecting the principal market for our heritage businesses. The crisis deepened and became more widespread, affecting travel and foreign currency exchange rates, as well as consumer confidence and spending. This resulted in further deterioration of our heritage businesses and interrupted the growth trajectory of our Calvin Klein businesses. We announced during the fourth quarter of 2008 a series of actions we are undertaking to respond to these economic conditions, including restructuring certain of our operations and implementing a number of other cost reduction efforts. We began implementing the restructuring initiatives during the fourth quarter of 2008 and we are expecting to complete substantially all of them by the end of the second quarter of 2009. The restructuring initiatives incl ude the shutdown of domestic production of machine-made neckwear, a realignment of our global sourcing organizational structure and reductions in warehousing capacity, all of which have headcount reductions associated with them, as well as other initiatives to reduce corporate and administrative expenses. In the second quarter of 2008, we had announced that we would not renew our license agreements to operate Geoffrey Beene outlet retail stores and we executed our plan to close our Geoffrey Beene outlet retail division before the end of 2008.

Our business strategy is to manage and market a portfolio of nationally recognized brands at multiple price points and across multiple channels of distribution. We believe this strategy reduces our reliance on any one demographic group, merchandise preference or distribution channel. We have enhanced this strategy by expanding our portfolio of brands through acquisitions of well-known brands, such as Calvin Klein and ARROW, that offer additional distribution channel and price point opportunities in our traditional categories of dress shirts and sportswear. These acquisitions also enhanced our business strategy by providing us with established international licensing businesses which do not require working capital investments. We have successfully pursued growth opportunities in extending these brands through licensing into additional product categories and geographic areas. The Superba and Mulberry acquisitions helped to advance our historical strategy by adding a product category that is complementary to our heritage dress shirt business and leverages our position in dress furnishings. Our business strategy was also extended by our assumption in 2007 of the wholesale IZOD women’s sportswear collection, which was previously a licensed business. Further, in the second quarter of 2008, we began marketing men’s sportswear under the Timberland brand in North America under a licensing arrangement with The Timberland Company. Timberland is an authentic outdoor traditional brand targeted to the department and specialty store channels of distribution that we believe has a unique positioning that complements our existing portfolio of sportswear brands and enables us to reach a broader spectrum of consumers.


A significant portion of our total income before interest and taxes is derived from international sources, primarily driven by the international component of our Calvin Klein licensing business. We intend to continue to expand our operations globally through direct marketing by us and through partnerships with licensees. We recently expanded our international operations to include sales of certain of our products to department and specialty stores throughout Canada and parts of Europe, including through the BVH acquisition, which provided us with a wholesale distribution component and a limited number of retail stores, principally for Van Heusen dress furnishings in the United Kingdom and Ireland. We have also entered into approximately 80 license agreements, covering over 150 countries, with partners outside of the United States for our brands.


OPERATIONS OVERVIEW


We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution of men’s dress shirts and neckwear and men’s and women’s sportswear; and (ii) the sale, through over 650 company-operated retail locations, of apparel, footwear and accessories under the brand names Van Heusen, IZOD, Bass and Calvin Klein. In addition, into the fourth quarter of 2008, we operated retail stores under the brand name Geoffrey Beene.


Our stores principally operate in outlet centers in the United States. We also operate a full price store located in New York City under the Calvin Klein Collection brand, in which we principally sell men’s and women’s high-end collection apparel and accessories, soft home furnishings and tableware. Additionally, in connection with our acquisition of BVH, we assumed the operation of a limited number of retail stores located in the United Kingdom and Ireland that principally market Van Heusen brand dress furnishings.


We announced in the fourth quarter of 2008 a series of actions to respond to the current economic conditions by restructuring certain of our operations and implementing a number of other cost reduction efforts. We recorded pre-tax charges in the fourth quarter of 2008 that totaled approximately $82 million, of which approximately $64 million related to non-cash asset impairments, principally associated with our retail stores, and approximately $18 million related to lease terminations, severance and other costs in connection with these restructuring initiatives. We recorded additional pre-tax charges of $4.7 million related principally to lease terminations, severance and other costs during the first quarter of 2009 and we expect to incur additional charges of approximately $5.3 million principally in the second quarter of 2009 in connection with these initiatives.


We generate royalty, advertising and other revenue from fees for licensing the use of our trademarks. Calvin Klein royalty, advertising and other revenue, which comprised 92% of total royalty, advertising and other revenue in the first quarter of 2009, is derived under licenses and other arrangements for a broad array of products, including jeans, underwear, fragrances, eyewear, footwear, dresses, watches and home furnishings.


Gross profit on total revenue is total revenue less cost of goods sold. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of product, including inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs and other product procurement related charges. Because there is no cost of goods sold associated with royalty, advertising and other revenue, 100% of such revenue is included in gross profit. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities.



17



Selling, general and administrative expenses include all other expenses, excluding interest and income taxes. Salaries and related fringe benefits is the largest component of selling, general and administrative expenses, comprising 47% of such expenses in the first quarter of 2009. Rent and occupancy for offices, warehouses and retail stores is the next largest expense, comprising 22% of selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2009.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 2009 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended May 4, 2008


Net Sales


Net sales in the first quarter of 2009 decreased 12.4% to $475.7 million from $543.2 million in the first quarter of the prior year. The decrease of $67.4 million was due principally to the items described below:


·

The reduction of $36.4 million of net sales attributable to declines in our wholesale dress furnishings and sportswear segments resulting from the economic slowdown and the reduction of department store inventory levels, partially offset by additional sales associated with our new Timberland men’s sportswear line, which was launched in the second quarter of 2008.


·

The reduction of $23.9 million of net sales associated with our exit in 2008 of our Geoffrey Beene outlet retail division.


·

The reduction of $5.5 million of net sales attributable to declines in our retail segments associated with our ongoing retail businesses. This was primarily driven by comparable store sales declines of 8%, partially offset by additional sales attributable to the conversion of a limited number of Geoffrey Beene outlet retail stores to the Calvin Klein outlet retail format.


Given the overall negative economic environment and our exit in 2008 of our Geoffrey Beene outlet retail business (which had sales of $94.9 million in 2008), we currently estimate our 2009 full year sales to decrease 7% to 8%.


Royalty, Advertising and Other Revenue


Royalty, advertising and other revenue in the first quarter of 2009 was $81.7 million, which was relatively flat to the prior year’s first quarter amount of $82.5 million. Within the Calvin Klein Licensing segment, global licensee royalty growth of 6% on a constant exchange rate basis was offset by the negative impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The royalty growth on a constant exchange rate basis was principally due to strong performance in jeans, footwear, dresses and underwear, partially offset by a sales reduction in the fragrance business, which continues to be affected by reductions in travel and discretionary spending resulting from the difficult economic environment.  


We currently expect that total royalty, advertising and other revenue will decrease 3% to 4% for the full year 2009. This decrease is due to reduced Calvin Klein advertising revenue in 2009 as a result of less discretionary spending in 2009 compared to 2008 by our licensees. Such advertising revenue is generally collected and spent, and is therefore presented as both a revenue and an expense within our income statement, with minimal net impact on earnings. Within the Calvin Klein Licensing segment, royalty revenue is expected to be flat, as anticipated global licensee royalty growth of 4% on a constant exchange rate basis is expected to be offset by the negative impact of a stronger U.S. dollar for the full year 2009.


Gross Profit on Total Revenue


Gross profit on total revenue in the first quarter of 2009 was $271.8 million, or 48.8% of total revenue, compared with $310.8 million, or 49.7% of total revenue in the first quarter of the prior year. The 90 basis point decrease was driven by increased promotional selling resulting from the difficult economic environment, partially offset by a change in revenue mix, as royalty, advertising and other revenue, which does not carry a cost of sales and has a gross profit percentage of 100%, increased as a percentage of total revenue.


We currently expect that the gross profit on total revenue percentage will decrease for the full year 2009 compared to 2008, due principally to increased promotional selling resulting from the difficult economic environment.




18



Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses


SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2009 were $222.7 million, or 40.0% of total revenue, compared with $230.1 million, or 36.8% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The 320 basis point increase includes an increase of approximately 70 basis points related to fixed asset impairments, severance, lease terminations and other costs associated with our restructuring initiatives. The remaining 250 basis point increase was due principally to the deleveraging of expenses due to the sales decreases mentioned previously. The $7.4 million decrease in SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2009 was due principally to the absence of expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2008 related to our Geoffrey Beene outlet retail division, which we exited during 2008, and cost savings resulting from our 2008 restructuring initiatives.  These reductions were mostly offset by expenses associated with the conversion of a limited number of Geoff rey Beene outlet retail stores to the Calvin Klein outlet retail format and by additional expenses related to fixed asset impairments, lease terminations, severance and other costs associated with our restructuring initiatives.


Our full year 2009 SG&A expenses are currently expected to decrease compared to 2008 principally as a result of a reduction in costs associated with (i) restructuring initiatives; (ii) impairments; and (iii) our Geoffrey Beene outlet retail division, which we exited during 2008. SG&A expenses for the full year 2009 as a percentage of total revenue is expected to decrease, as the reduction in SG&A expenses is expected to more than offset the impact of the deleveraging of expenses.


Gain on Sale of Investments


We sold, in the first quarter of 2006, minority interests held by one of our subsidiaries in certain entities that operate the licenses and related wholesale and retail businesses of Calvin Klein jeans and accessories in Europe and Asia and the ck Calvin Klein bridge line of sportswear and accessories in Europe. During the first quarter of 2008, we received a distribution of $1.9 million representing our share of the amount that remained in escrow in connection with this sale, which we recorded as a gain in the first quarter of 2008.


Interest Expense and Interest Income


The majority of our interest expense relates to our fixed rate long-term debt. As a result, variances in our net interest expense tend to be driven by changes in interest income and, to a lesser extent, costs related to our revolving credit facility.


Interest expense of $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2009 was flat to the prior year’s first quarter amount. Interest income decreased to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $1.9 million in the first quarter of the prior year due principally to a decrease in average investment rates of return, partially offset by an increase in our average cash position during the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008.


Income Taxes


Income taxes decreased by $12.7 million to $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $29.3 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. Income taxes for the first quarter of 2009 were provided for at a rate of 40.1% compared with last year’s first quarter rate of 38.5%. Our quarterly tax rate tends to vary from our full year rate because discrete items do not occur in all quarters.


We currently anticipate that our 2009 tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income will be between 37.0% and 37.5%, which compares with last year’s full year rate of 37.3%. It is possible that our estimated full year rate could change from discrete events arising from specific transactions, audits by tax authorities or the receipt of new information.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Generally, our principal source of cash is from operations, and our principal uses of cash are for capital expenditures, contingent purchase price payments and dividends.




19



Operations


Cash used by operating activities was $21.6 million in the first quarter of 2009, which compares with $5.7 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, deferred taxes, impairment and the gain on the sale of investments decreased $20.1 million and was partially offset by changes in working capital, including the following:


·

An increase in cash flow resulting from a change in net trade receivables due to the timing and amounts of wholesale sales in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008.


·

An increase in cash flow resulting from a change in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue due principally to the timing of inventory payments in our wholesale and retail businesses and a significant reduction in payments of incentive compensation costs, as the balance of accruals for incentive compensation at the end of 2008 was significantly lower than the balance at the end of 2007.


·

A decrease in cash flow due to the $38.5 million Warnaco paid us in the first quarter of 2008 in connection with our acquisition of CMI. Please see Note 4, “Acquisition of CMI,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for a further discussion. We did not receive a corresponding payment in the first quarter of 2009.


·

A decrease in cash flow resulting from a change in net inventories due principally to significantly higher inventory levels at the end of 2007 compared to the end of 2008, as inventory levels at the end of 2008 contemplated a sales reduction for the first quarter of 2009 resulting from the difficult economic environment.


·

A decrease in cash flow resulting from a change in prepaid expenses due principally to the timing of rent payments in our retail businesses.


Capital Expenditures


Our capital expenditures paid in cash in the first quarter of 2009 were $6.2 million. We currently expect that capital expenditures for the full year 2009 will be approximately $40.0 million. This compares to capital expenditures paid in cash for the full year 2008 of $88.1 million.


Contingent Purchase Price Payments


In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we are obligated to pay Mr. Calvin Klein contingent purchase price payments based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales, as defined in the agreement governing the Calvin Klein acquisition, of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands with respect to sales made during the first 15 years following the closing of the acquisition. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein are made are wholesale sales by us and our licensees and other licensing partners to retailers. Such contingent purchase price payments totaled $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2009. We currently expect that such payments will decrease slightly for the full year 2009 compared to the prior year amount of $40.8 million.


In connection with the Superba acquisition, we are obligated to pay Superba contingent purchase price payments if the earnings of the acquired business exceed certain targets in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Any such contingent purchase price payments would be payable 90 days after the applicable fiscal year end. Such contingent purchase price payments totaled $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2008 based on the actual calculation of 2007 earnings, as defined in the underlying asset purchase agreement, achieved by the acquired business. The acquired business did not achieve the minimum earnings in 2008 required for a payout in 2009. The maximum payout that Superba can receive with respect to 2009 earnings is $30.0 million. We currently anticipate that no payment will be made in 2010 with respect to 2009 earnings.


Acquisition of Block


We acquired in February 2009 from Block Corporation (“Block”), a former licensee of Van Heusen and IZOD “big and tall” sportswear in the United States, inventories and inventory purchase commitments related to the licensed business.  We paid $5.7 million during the first quarter of 2009 in connection with the transaction. As part of this transaction, the license agreements between us and Block were terminated. Please see Note 3, “Acquisition of Block Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for a further discussion.



20




Acquisition of CMI


We acquired CMI from Warnaco on January 30, 2008. CMI is the licensee of the Calvin Klein Collection apparel and accessories businesses under agreements with our Calvin Klein, Inc. subsidiary. Warnaco acquired the shares of CMI in January 2008 and was obligated to operate the Calvin Klein Collection businesses through 2013. In return for us assuming ownership of CMI, Warnaco made a payment of $38.5 million to us during the first quarter of 2008. As part of this transaction, we paid to Warnaco $17.1 million during the first quarter of 2008 based on a percentage of Warnaco’s estimate of the net working capital of CMI as of the closing date. This amount is subject to adjustment. We adjusted during 2008 the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on our calculation of the working capital of CMI as of the closing date. Pursuant to the process set forth in the amended acquisition agreement, we submitted our calculation of the closing date wo rking capital to Warnaco and Warnaco has disputed the calculation. We are in discussion with Warnaco to resolve the disputed calculation. Our results for the balance of 2009 could be impacted depending on the outcome of these discussions. Please see Note 4, “Acquisition of CMI,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for a further discussion.


Dividends


Our common stock, which as of May 3, 2009 is the only class of stock issued, currently pays annual dividends totaling $0.15 per share.


We project that cash dividends on our common stock in 2009 will be $7.8 million to $7.9 million based on our current dividend rate, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding at May 3, 2009 and our estimates of stock to be issued in 2009 under our stock incentive plans.


Cash Flow Summary


Our net cash outflow in the first quarter of 2009 was $46.2 million. Cash flow for the full year 2009 will be impacted by various other factors in addition to those noted above in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section. We currently expect to generate approximately $65.0 million to $75.0 million of cash flow in 2009 after making cash payments for severance, lease terminations and other costs in connection with our restructuring initiatives. There can be no assurance that this estimate will prove to be accurate. Unforeseen events, including changes in our net income, working capital requirements or other items, including acquisitions and equity transactions, could occur, which could cause our cash flow to vary significantly from this estimate.


Financing Arrangements


Our capital structure as of May 3, 2009 was as follows:


(in millions)


Long-term debt


$   399.6

Stockholders’ equity


$1,023.4


We believe our capital structure provides a secure base to support our current operations and our planned growth in the future. There are no maturities of our long-term debt until 2011.


For near-term liquidity, in addition to our cash balance, we have a $325.0 million secured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent that expires in July 2012 and provides for revolving credit borrowings, as well as the issuance of letters of credit. We may, at our option, borrow and repay amounts up to a maximum of $325.0 million for revolving credit borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit, which may be increased by us under certain conditions by up to $100.0 million, with a sublimit of $50.0 million for standby letters of credit and with no sublimit on trade letters of credit. Based on our working capital projections, we believe that our borrowing capacity under this facility provides us with adequate liquidity for our peak seasonal needs for the foreseeable future. During the first quarter of 2009, we had no revolving credit borrowings under the facility, and the maxi mum amount of letters of credit outstanding was $115.2 million. As of May 3, 2009, we had $109.1 million of outstanding letters of credit under this facility. We currently do not expect to have any revolving credit borrowings under the facility during the remainder of 2009.




21



Current global credit conditions and the overall economic slowdown create greater uncertainty than in the past with regard to financing opportunities and the cost of such financing. Given our capital structure and our projections for future profitability and cash flow, we believe we are well positioned to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for refinancing our long-term debt, or, if opportunities present themselves, future acquisitions. Although we believe we could obtain such financing, due to the current state of credit markets, such financing, if undertaken, would likely be at higher costs and potentially more restrictive terms than our current borrowings. As a result, there can be no assurance that such financing, if needed, could be obtained on terms satisfactory to us or be obtained at such time as a specific need may arise.


SEASONALITY


Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales and income in the third quarter, due to selling to our customers in advance of the holiday selling season. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter has the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday season.


Due to the above factors, our operating results for the thirteen week period ended May 3, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.


ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Financial instruments held by us include cash equivalents and long-term debt. Interest rates on our long-term debt are fixed. Therefore, a change in rates generally would not have an effect on our interest expense. Note 9, “Long-Term Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2009 outlines the principal amounts, interest rates, fair values and other terms required to evaluate the expected sensitivity of interest rate changes on the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates. Therefore, a change in short-term interest rates would have an impact on our interest income. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents as of May 3, 2009, the effect of a 50 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $1.4 million annually.


Principally all of our revenue and expenses are currently denominated in United States dollars. However, certain of our operations and license agreements expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the rate of exchange of the United States dollar against the Euro, the Pound, the Yen and the Canadian dollar. Our principal exposure to changes in exchange rates for the United States dollar results from our licensing businesses. Many of our license agreements require the licensee to report sales to us in the licensee’s local currency, but to pay us in United States dollars based on the exchange rate as of the last day of the contractual selling period. Thus, while we are not exposed to exchange rate gains and losses between the end of the selling period and the date we collect payment, we are exposed to exchange rate changes during and up to the last day of the selling period. Therefore, during times of a stre ngthening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be negatively impacted, and during times of a weakening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be favorably impacted. Not all foreign license agreements expose us to foreign exchange risk. Many of our foreign license agreements specify that contractual minimums be paid in United States dollars. Thus, for these foreign license agreements where the licensee’s sales do not exceed contractual minimums, the licensee assumes the risk of changes in exchange rates and we do not.


A secondary exposure to changes in exchange rates for the United States dollar results from our foreign operations. Our foreign operations include sales of our products to department and specialty stores throughout Canada and parts of Europe. Sales for these foreign operations are both generated and collected in foreign currency, which exposes us to foreign exchange gains and losses between the date of the sale and the date we collect payment. Therefore, as with our licensing businesses, the results of these operations will be negatively impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar.


Somewhat mitigating our exposure to changes in the exchange rate for the Euro is our Calvin Klein administrative office in Milan, Italy. Our acquisition of CMI has further mitigated our exposure to changes in the exchange rate for the Euro, as the acquired business has certain operations in Italy. Therefore, during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the Euro, the expenses associated with these business operations will be favorably impacted, and during times of a weakening United States dollar against the Euro, the expenses associated with these business operations will be negatively impacted.

EXHIBIT 10.1

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION

2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

(As Amended and Restated Effective April 30, 2009)

1.

Establishment, Objectives and Duration.

(a)

Establishment of the Plan.  Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation established this incentive compensation plan to be known as the “Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation 2006 Stock Incentive Plan.”  The Plan permits the granting of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Plan became effective on April 27, 2006 (the “Effective Date”) and has been amended from time to time since that date.  The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective April 30, 2009.  Definitions of capitalized terms used in the Plan are contained in the attached glossary, which is an integral part of the Plan.

(b)

Purposes of the Plan.  The purposes of the Plan are to induce certain individuals to remain in the employ, or to continue to serve as directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company and its present and future Subsidiaries, to attract new individuals to enter into such employment or service and to encourage such individuals to secure or increase on reasonable terms their stock ownership in the Company.  The Board believes that the granting of Awards under the Plan will promote continuity of management and increased incentive and personal interest in the welfare of the Company by those who are or may become primarily responsible for shaping and carrying out the long range plans of the Company and securing its continued growth and financial success.

(c)

Duration of the Plan.  No Award may be granted under the Plan after the day immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, or such earlier date as the Board shall determine.  The Plan will remain in effect with respect to outstanding Awards until no Awards remain outstanding.

2.

Administration of the Plan.

(a)

The Committee.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(d), the Plan shall be administered by the “Committee.”  The Committee shall consist of two or more members of the Board.  It is intended that all of the members of the Committee shall be “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and “outside directors” within the contemplation of Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Code.  The Committee shall be appointed annually by the Board, which may at any time and from time to time remove any members of the Committee, with or without cause, appoint additional members to the Committee and fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee.  A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum.  All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members present at a meeting duly called and held, except that the Committee may delegate to any one of its members the authority of the Committee with respect to the grant of Awards to any person who (i) shall not be an officer and/or director of the Company and (ii) is not, and in the judgment of the Committee may not be reasonably expected to become, a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.  Any decision or determination of the Committee reduced to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee (or by the member(s) of the Committee to whom authority has been delegated) shall be fully as effective as if it had been made at a meeting duly called and held.

(b)

Authority of the Committee.  Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the Plan (including any other powers given to the Committee hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Committee shall have full and final authority in its discretion to take all actions determined by the Committee to be necessary in the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, discretion to:

(i)

select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may from time to time be granted hereunder;

(ii)

determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder;

(iii)

determine the size and types of Awards granted hereunder;

(iv)

approve forms of Award Agreement for use under the Plan;







(v)

determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder;

(vi)

establish performance goals for any Performance Period and determine whether such goals were satisfied;

(vii)

amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the Plan; provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 16, no such amendment shall reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options or the grant price of outstanding SARs without the approval of the stockholders of the Company;

(viii)

construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement entered into under the Plan, and to decide all questions of fact arising in its application; and

(ix)

take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee deems appropriate.

(c)

Effect of Committee’s Decision.  All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries, its stockholders, Employees, Directors, Consultants and their estates and beneficiaries.

(d)

Delegation.  As permitted by Applicable Laws, the Committee may delegate its authority as identified herein, including the power and authority to make Awards to Participants who are not “insiders” subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or expected to be “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, pursuant to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may establish.

3.

Shares Subject to the Plan; Effect of Grants; Individual Limits.

(a)

Number of Shares Available for Grants.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 18 hereof, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be 4,002,554, plus the number of Shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans as of the Amendment Date that are deemed not delivered under the Prior Plans pursuant to paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 3(a), plus the number of Shares that were subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans at June 18, 2008 but which expired or were cancelled or forfeited subsequent to that date.  The 4,002,554 Shares referred to in the immediately preceding sentence include the 3,000,000 Shares initially included in the Plan as of the Effective Date and 1,002,554 Shares added to the Plan pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 3(a) between the Effective Date and June 18, 2008.

(i)

Shares that are potentially deliverable under an Award granted under the Plan or an option granted under a Prior Plan that expires or is canceled, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise settled without the delivery of Shares shall not be treated as having been issued under the Plan or a Prior Plan.

(ii)

Shares that are issued pursuant to awards that are assumed, converted or substituted in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or similar transaction shall not be treated as having been issued under the Plan; provided, however, that the Shares referred to in this paragraph (ii) shall not be considered for purposes of determining the number of Shares available for grant as Incentive Stock Options.

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein: (i) shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Award shall not be added to the maximum share limitations described above, (ii) shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligation shall not be added to the maximum share limitations described above, and (iii) all shares covered by a Stock Appreciation Right, to the extent that it is exercised and whether or not shares of Common Stock are actually issued upon exercise of the right, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan.

The Shares to be issued pursuant to Awards may be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

(b)

Individual Limits.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16 hereof, the maximum aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted in any calendar year to any one Participant shall be 500,000 Shares.

(c)

Share Counting.  Each Share underlying a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be counted as one share for purposes of the limits set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b).  Each Share underlying a combination of Stock Appreciation Right and Stock Option, where the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Option results in the cancellation of the other, shall be counted as one share for purposes of the limits set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b).  Each Share underlying an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share or Other Stock-Based Award shall be counted as two shares for purposes of the limits set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b).

4.

Eligibility and Participation.

(a)

Eligibility.  Persons eligible to participate in the Plan include all Employees, Directors and Consultants.

(b)

Actual Participation.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from all eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants, those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award.  The Committee may establish additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures to accommodate the rules or laws of applicable foreign jurisdictions and to afford Participants favorable treatment under such laws; provided, however, that no Award shall be granted under any such additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures with terms or conditions which are inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

5.

Types of Awards.

(a)

Type of Awards.  Awards under the Plan may be in the form of Options (both Nonqualified Stock Options and/or Incentive Stock Options), SARs, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(b)

Designation of Award.  Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement.

6.

Options.

(a)

Grant of Options.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants in such number and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee.

(b)

Award Agreement.  Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine including, but not limited to, the Option vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, and payment contingencies.  The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option.  Options that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 422 of the Code.  Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall not provide Participants with the right to receive Dividends or Dividend Equivalents.  

(c)

Exercise Price.  Except for Options adjusted pursuant to Section 18 herein, and replacement Options granted in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or similar transaction, the Exercise Price for each grant of an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted.  However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Exercise Price for each grant of an Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted.

(d)

Term of Options.  The term of an Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such term shall not exceed 10 years.  However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

(e)

(f)

Payments.  Options granted under this Section 6 shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice to the Company setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised and payment of the Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price of an Option shall be payable to the Company: (i) in cash or its equivalent, (ii) by tendering (either actually or constructively by attestation) Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Exercise Price, (iii) in any other manner then permitted by the Committee, or (iv) by a combination of any of the permitted methods of payment.  The Committee may limit any method of payment, other than that specified under (i), for administrative convenience, to comply with Applicable Laws or otherwise.

(g)

Restrictions on Share Transferability.  The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under this Section 6 as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

(h)

Termination of Employment or Service.  Each Participant’s Option Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Participant’s employment or, if the Participant is a Director or Consultant, service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment or service.

7.

Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)

Grant of SARs.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee.

Grant Price.  The grant price of a freestanding SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR; provided, however, that these limitations shall not apply to Awards that are adjusted pursuant to Section 18 herein.

(d)

Term of SARs.  The term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such term shall not exceed 10 years.

(i)

the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the grant price; by

the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

(g)

(g)

Termination of Employment or Service.  Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain unvested Restricted Stock following termination of the Participant’s employment or, if the Participant is a Director or Consultant, service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Awards of Restricted Stock, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment or service.

(f)

Voting Rights.  A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder.

(g)

Termination of Employment or Service.  Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive a payout respecting an Award of Restricted Stock Units following termination of the Participant’s employment or, if the Participant is a Director or Consultant, service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Restricted Stock Units, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment or service.

(h)

Dividend Equivalents.  At the discretion of the Committee, Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan may provide Participants with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents, which may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participants, and may be settled in cash and/or Shares, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject in each case to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish.

12.

Performance-Based Exception.

(a)

The Committee may specify that the attainment of one or more of the Performance Measures set forth in this Section 12 shall determine the degree of granting, vesting and/or payout with respect to Awards that the Committee intends will qualify for the Performance-Based Exception.  The performance goals to be used for such Awards shall be chosen from among the following performance measures (the “Performance Measures”): earnings, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, earnings per share, economic value created, market share, net income (before or after taxes), operating income, adjusted net income after capital charge, return on assets, return on capital (based on earnings or cash flow), return on equity, return on investment, revenue, cash flow, operating margin, share price, total stock holder return, total market value, and strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified market penetration goals, productivity measures, geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, customer satisfaction or employee satisfaction goals, goals relating to merger synergies, management of employment practices and employee benefits, or supervision of litigation or information technology, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures of subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures.  The targeted level or levels of performance with respect to such Performance Measures may be established at such levels and on such terms as the Committee may determine, in its discretion, on a corporate-wide basis or with respect to one or more business units, divisions, subsidiaries, business segments or functions, and in either absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companie s.  Awards that are not intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception may be based on these or such other performance measures as the Committee may determine.

(b)

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, measurement of performance goals with respect to the Performance Measures above shall exclude the impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and other unusual or non-recurring items, as well as the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes, each as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or identified in the Company’s financial statements, notes to the financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis or other filings with the SEC, as well as any other items determined in accordance with Section 18(b).

(c)

Performance goals may differ for Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants.

Achievement of performance goals in respect of Awards intended to qualify under the Performance-Based Exception shall be measured over a Performance Period specified in the Award Agreement, and the goals shall be established not later than 90 days after the beginning of the Performance Period or, if less than 90 days, the number of days which is equal to 25% of the relevant Performance Period applicable to the Award.

13.

Transferability of Awards.  Incentive Stock Options may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during a Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant.  Other Awards shall be transferable to members of the Participant’s Immediate Family to the extent provided in the Award Agreement, except that no Award may be transferred for consideration.

Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.  

(b)

As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws.

16.

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R), such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the Committee shall cause there to be an equitable adjustment in the number and kind of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan, the individual limits set forth in Section 3(b), and, with respect to outstanding Awards, in the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, the Exercise Price, grant price or other price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, any performance conditions relating to Shares, the market price of Shares, or per-Share results, and other terms and conditions of outstanding Awards, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.  In the event of an y other change in corporate capitalization, such as a merger, consolidation, or liquidation, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause there to be such equitable adjustment as described in the foregoing sentence, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be rounded down to a whole number.  Adjustments made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 16 shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

17.

Change in Control, Cash-Out and Termination of Underwater Options/SARs, and Subsidiary Disposition.

any and all Performance Shares and other Awards (if performance-based) shall vest on a pro-rata monthly basis, including full credit for partial months elapsed, and will be paid (A) based on the level of performance achieved as of the date of the Change in Control, if determinable, or (B) at the target level, if not determinable.  The amount of the vested Award may be computed under the following formula:  total Award number of Shares times (number of full months elapsed in shortest possible vesting period divided by number of full months in shortest possible vesting period) times percent performance level achieved immediately prior to the specified effective date of the Change in Control.

(b)

Cash-Out and Termination of Underwater Options/SARs.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that (i) all outstanding Options and SARs shall be terminated upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and that each Participant shall receive, with respect to each Share subject to such Options or SARs, an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control over the Option Exercise Price or the SAR grant price; and (ii) Options and SARs outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control may be cancelled and terminated without payment therefore if the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of the Change in Control is less than the Option Exercise Price or the SAR grant price.

(c)

Subsidiary Disposition.  The Committee shall have the authority, exercisable either in advance of any actual or anticipated Subsidiary Disposition or at the time of an actual Subsidiary Disposition and either at the time of the grant of an Award or at any time while an Award remains outstanding, to provide for the automatic full vesting and exercisability of one or more outstanding unvested Awards under the Plan and the termination of restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights on such Awards, in connection with a Subsidiary Disposition, but only with respect to those Participants who are at the time engaged primarily in Continuous Service with the Subsidiary involved in such Subsidiary Disposition.  The Committee also shall have the authority to condition any such Award vesting and exercisability or release from such limitatio ns upon the subsequent termination of the affected Participant’s Continuous Service with that Subsidiary within a specified period following the effective date of the Subsidiary Disposition.  The Committee may provide that any Awards so vested or released from such limitations in connection with a Subsidiary Disposition, shall remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the Award.

18.

Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

Amendment, Modification and Termination.  The Board may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with the New York Stock Exchange listing standards or any rule promulgated by the SEC or any securities exchange on which Shares are listed or any other Applicable Laws shall be effective unless such amendment shall be approved by the requisite vote of stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon within the time period required under such applicable listing standard or rule.

(b)

Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events.  The Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 16) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in Applicable Laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.  With respect to any Awards intended to comply with the Performance-Based Exception, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any such exception shall be specified at such times and in such manner as will no t cause such Awards to fail to qualify under the Performance-Based Exception.

(c)

Awards Previously Granted.  No termination, amendment or modification of the Plan or of any Award shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award, unless such termination, modification or amendment is required by Applicable Laws and except as otherwise provided herein.

(d)

No Repricing.  Without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Shares cast in person or by proxy at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding Shares is present or represented by proxy, the Board shall not approve either: (i) the cancellation of outstanding Options or SARs and the grant in substitution therefore of new awards having a lower exercise price; (ii) the amendment of outstanding Options or SARs to reduce the exercise price thereof; or (iii) the cancellation of outstanding Options or SARs and the payment of cash in substitution therefore.

Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete authority to administer and interpret the Plan.  The Committee shall establish the Performance Objectives for any Performance Cycle in accordance with Section 7 hereof and determine whether such Performance Objectives have been attained prior to the payment of any bonus.  Any determination made by the Committee under the Plan shall be final and conclusive.  The Committee in its sole discretion shall resolve any dispute or disagreement that may arise hereunder or as a result of or in connection with any action taken hereunder.  The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents (including counsel or agents who are employees of the Company or a Subsidiary) as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion received from any such counsel or consultant or agent and any computation received from such consultant or agent.  The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, for the engagement of any counsel, consultant or agent.  No member or former member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in connection with the Plan, other than as a result of such individual’s willful misconduct.

7.

Determination of Participation, Performance Criteria and Bonuses.

(a)

Participation and Performance Criteria.  The Committee shall determine who the Participants for each Performance Cycle will be and establish the Performance Objective or Performance Objectives that must be satisfied in order for a Participant to be eligible to receive a bonus for such Performance Cycle, within 90 days of the commencement of such Performance Cycle, or if less, prior to the expiration of 25% of the length of such Performance Cycle.

(b)

Performance Objectives.  The Committee shall establish three or more targets for each Performance Cycle for the Performance Objectives established by the Committee.  The targets shall consist of at least a threshold (below which no bonus shall be payable), a plan level and a maximum level (above which no additional bonus shall be payable).

(c)

Bonus Percentages.  At the time that the Committee determines the Participants and establishes the Performance Objectives with respect to a Performance Cycle, it shall determine the bonus percentage payable to each Participant with respect to such Performance Cycle if the applicable threshold, plan or maximum level of the applicable Performance Objective is attained.  If a level achieved falls between two of the specified target levels for a Performance Cycle, a Participant shall receive a bonus based on a straight line interpolation between the bonuses for the two target levels, or such other basis as the Committee shall determine at the time the Performance Objective for the Participant is established.  The bonus percentages represent the percentage of a Participant’s base salary as in effect on the October 31 that coincides with or immediately precedes the last day of the Performance Cy cle that he or she shall be entitled to receive as a bonus if specified Performance Objective targets are attained.  Subject to the provisions of Section 7(g), there shall be no limit to the minimum or maximum bonus percentages that may be established for any Performance Cycle.  Bonus percentages may differ from Participant to Participant in any Performance Cycle and a Participant’s bonus percentages may change from year to year, but with respect to each Participant for each Performance Cycle, the bonus percentage for attaining the maximum level of the applicable Performance Objective shall exceed the bonus percentage for attaining the plan level (or other specified level above the plan level) of the applicable Performance Objective, which, in turn, shall exceed the bonus percentage for attaining the threshold level (or other specified level above the threshold level) of the applicable Performance Objective.  In determining the bonus percentage for each Participant, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by such Participant, his past,



4




present and potential contribution to the Company and its Subsidiaries, his seniority with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion, shall deem relevant.

(d)

Termination of Employment During or After Performance Cycle.

(i)

If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Performance Cycle for which he or she was determined to be a Participant by reason of his or her death, his or her estate shall receive the bonus that would otherwise have been payable to such Participant for such Performance Cycle if the plan level were achieved, prorated to the portion of such Performance Cycle actually worked by such Participant.

(ii)

If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Performance Cycle for which he was determined to be a Participant by reason of his or her disability, such Participant shall receive the bonus, if any, which would otherwise been payable to such Participant for such Performance Cycle prorated to the portion of such Performance Cycle actually worked by such Participant.  

(iii)

If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Performance Cycle by reason of his or her Retirement, such Participant shall receive the bonus, if any, which would otherwise have been payable to such Participant for such Performance Cycle prorated to the portion of such Performance Cycle actually worked by such Participant.

(iv)

If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Performance Cycle for any reason other than on account of death, disability or Retirement, such Participant shall receive no bonus for such Performance Cycle.

(v)

If a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason on or after the end of a Performance Cycle but prior to the date of payment of a bonus, such Participant shall receive the bonus, if any, which would otherwise have been payable to such Participant for such Performance Cycle.

(e)

Determination of Bonuses.  Subject to Section 8(a), the Committee shall determine whether any Performance Objective targets were achieved for a Performance Cycle, which Participants shall have earned bonuses as the result thereof, and the bonus percentage such Participants are entitled to no later than the end of the first quarter of the Performance Cycle immediately subsequent to the Performance Cycle with respect to which the bonuses were earned.  With respect to bonuses intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee must certify in writing prior to the payment of the bonus that the applicable Performance Objective targets and any other material terms were in fact satisfied.  Written certification for this purpose shall include, without limitation, approved minutes of the Committee meeting in which the certification is made.

(f)

Change In Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there shall be a Change in Control during a Performance Cycle, each Participant for such Performance Cycle shall be entitled to receive a bonus equal to the bonus payable to such Participant if the plan level for such Performance Cycle had been achieved prorated to the portion of such Performance Cycle actually worked by such Participant through the date of the Change in Control.  

(g)

Absolute Maximum Bonus.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the maximum bonus that may be paid to any Participant under the Plan with respect to any Fiscal Year may not exceed $4,000,000.

(h)

Unusual or Nonrecurring Events.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Performance Objective targets may be adjusted to take into account unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, a Subsidiary or a division or business unit, or the financial statements thereof, or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles to the extent such unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles otherwise would result in dilution or enlargement of the bonus intended to be paid.  With respect to any bonus intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, it is intended that such adjustment be made in such manner as will not cause the bonus to fail to qualify as performance-based compensation.  

8.

Payment.

will review or cause to be reviewed all bonuses paid to the Participant pursuant to the Plan on the basis of having met or exceeded Performance Objective(s) or other measures or goals for Performance Cycles beginning after 2008 to the extent the bonuses relate, in whole or in part, to the periods with respect to which the financial statements are restated and, if a lesser bonus or bonuses would have been paid to the Participant based upon the restated financial results, the Board or the committee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, recover or cause to be recovered for the benefit of the Company the amount by which the Participant’s bonus or bonuses for the restated period(s) exceeded such lesser bonus or bonuses, plus a reasonable rate of interest; and

(y)

in addition to the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may take or cause to be taken for the benefit of the Company such additional action(s) deemed by the Board or committee to be appropriate including, without limitation, cancellation of the Participant’s outstanding bonus opportunities and recovery (in whole or in part) of any additional amounts relating to prior bonuses paid to the Participant under the Plan.

(d)

Six-Month Delay.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, in the event any payment hereunder constitutes “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined in Section 12(d) herein)), and such payment is payable to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as determined under the Company’s policy for identifying specified employees) on the date of his or her “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), the date for payment of such bonus shall be the earlier of (i) death or (ii) the later of (x) the date that payment would otherwise be made hereunder or (y) the first business day following the end of the sixth-month period following the date of the Participant’s separation from service.

Award Percentages.  At the time that the Committee determines the Participants and establishes the Performance Objectives with respect to a Performance Cycle, it shall determine the Award payable to each Participant with respect to such Performance Cycle if the applicable threshold, plan or maximum target level is attained.  If a level achieved falls between two of the specified target levels for a Performance Cycle, a Participant shall receive an Award based on a straight line interpolation between the Awards for the two target levels, or such other basis as the Committee shall determine at the time the Performance Objective for the Participant is established.  The Award represents the percentage of a Participant’s base salary on the last day of the Performance Cycle that he or she shall be entitled to receive as an Award if specified Performance Objective targets are attained.  Subj ect to the provisions of Section 7(g), there shall be no limit to the minimum or maximum Award that may be established for any Performance Cycle.  Awards may differ from Participant to Participant in any Performance Cycle and a Participant’s Award may change from year to year, but with respect to each Participant for each Performance Cycle, the Award for attaining the maximum level of the applicable Performance Objective shall exceed the Award for attaining the plan level (or other specified level above the plan level) of the applicable Performance Objective, which, in turn, shall exceed the Award for attaining the threshold level (or other specified level above the threshold level) of the applicable Performance Objective.  In determining the Award for each Participant, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by such Participant, his or her past, present and potential contribution to the Company and its Subsidiaries, his or her seniority with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion, shall deem relevant.

(d)

Termination of Employment During or After Performance Cycle.

(i)

If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Performance Cycle for which he or she was determined to be a Participant by reason of his or her death, his or her estate shall receive the Award that would otherwise have been payable to such Participant for such Performance Cycle if the plan level were achieved, prorated to the portion of such Performance Cycle actually worked by such Participant.

(ii)

If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Performance Cycle for which he or she was determined to be a Participant by reason of his or her disability, such Participant shall receive the Award, if any, which would otherwise been payable to such Participant for such Performance Cycle prorated to the portion of such Performance Cycle actually worked by such Participant.



4



(iii)

If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Performance Cycle by reason of his or her Retirement or discharge without Cause or for any reason which would constitute grounds for the Participant to voluntarily terminate his or her employment for “good reason” under the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any, with the Company or a Subsidiary, such Participant shall receive the Award, if any, which would otherwise have been payable to such Participant for such Performance Cycle prorated to the portion of such Performance Cycle actually worked by such Participant; provided, however, that in the case of a Participant who retires or is discharged without Cause or terminates employment for “good reason” prior to 12 months following the commencement of a Performance Cycle, no Award shall be payable.

(iv)

If a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause during a Performance Cycle for which he or she was determined to be a Participant, no Award shall be payable.

(v)

If a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason on or after the end of a Performance Cycle but prior to the date of payment of an Award, such Participant shall receive the Award, if any, which would otherwise have been payable to such Participant for such Performance Cycle.

(e)

Determination of Awards.  Subject to Section 8(a), the Committee shall determine whether any targets were achieved for a Performance Cycle, which Participants shall have earned bonuses as the result thereof, and the Awards, if any, to which such Participants are entitled, no later than 90 days subsequent to the last day of the Performance Cycle with respect to which such Awards were earned.  With respect to Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee must certify in writing prior to the payment of the Award that the applicable Performance Objective targets and any other material terms were in fact satisfied.  Written certification for this purpose shall include, without limitation, approved minutes of the Committee meeting in which the certification is made.

(f)

Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there shall be a Change in Control during a Performance Cycle, each Participant for such Performance Cycle shall be entitled to receive an Award equal to the Award payable to such Participant if the plan level for such Performance Cycle had been achieved prorated to the portion of such Performance Cycle actually worked by such Participant through the date of the Change in Control.

(g)

Absolute Maximum Award.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the maximum Award that may be paid to any Participant under the Plan in any Fiscal Year may not exceed $5,000,000.

(h)

Unusual or Nonrecurring Events.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Performance Objective targets may be adjusted to take into account unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, a Subsidiary or a division or business unit, or the financial statements thereof, or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles to the extent such unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles otherwise would result in dilution or enlargement of the Award intended to be paid.  With respect to any Award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, it is intended that such adjustment be made in such manner as will not cause the Award to fail to qualify as performance-based compensation.

8.

Payment.

(a)

Timing.  Payment of any Award determined under Section 7 shall be paid:

(i)

in the case of an Award payable in accordance with Section 7(d)(i), within 30 days of the date of the Participant’s death;

(ii)

in the case of an Award payable in accordance with Section 7(f), within 30 days of the Change in Control; or

(iii)

in the case of Awards payable under the Plan other than an Award payable under Section 7(d)(i) or Section 7(f), within 30 days following the Committee’s determination and certification to performance results as set forth in Section 7(e), provided that the date of such payment shall occur no later than the 15th day of the third month following the later of (x) the last day of the Fiscal Year in which the Performance Cycle ends or (y) the last day of the Participant’s taxable year in which the Performance Cycle ends, in either case, in which the right to the Award is no longer subject to forfeiture.



5



(b)

Forfeiture.

(i)

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7(d) or in the case of a Change in Control, in order to remain eligible to receive an Award, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of the applicable Performance Cycle.

(ii)

In the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results to correct a material error or inaccuracy resulting in whole or in part from the fraud or intentional misconduct of a Participant, as determined by the Board or a committee thereof, the Board or the committee:

(x)

will review or cause to be reviewed all Awards paid to the Participant pursuant to the Plan on the basis of having met or exceeded Performance Objective(s) or other measures or goals for Performance Cycles beginning after 2008 to the extent the Awards relate, in whole or in part, to the periods with respect to which the financial statements are restated and, if a lesser Award or Awards would have been paid to the Participant based upon the restated financial results, the Board or the committee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, recover or cause to be recovered for the benefit of the Company the amount by which the Participant’s Award(s) for the restated period(s) exceeded such lesser Award or Awards, plus a reasonable rate of interest; and

(y)

in addition to the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may take or cause to be taken for the benefit of the Company such additional action(s) deemed by the Board or committee to be appropriate including, without limitation, cancellation of the Participant’s outstanding Award opportunities and recovery (in whole or in part) of any additional amounts relating to prior Awards paid to the Participant under the Plan.

(c)

Form of Payment.  All Awards payable under the Plan, if any, shall be payable in cash.  All amounts hereunder shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company.  The Company shall not maintain any separate fund to provide any benefits hereunder, and each Participant shall be solely an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect thereto.

(d)

Six-Month Delay.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, in the event any Award payable hereunder constitutes “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined in Section 12(d) herein)), and such Award is payable to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as determined under the Company’s policy for identifying specified employees) on the date of his or her “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), the date for payment of such Award shall be the earlier of (i) death or (ii) the later of (x) the date that payment would otherwise be made hereunder or (y) the first business day following the end of the sixth-month period following the date of the Participant’s separation from service.

9.

General Provisions of the Plan.

(a)

Term of the Plan.  The Plan shall be effective with respect to Performance Cycles commencing in 2005 through 2009 and shall terminate upon the payment of all Awards, if any, earned with respect to the Performance Cycle commencing in 2009, unless the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s Outstanding Voting Securities present in person or by proxy at any special or annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company occurring on or prior to the date of the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall approve the continuation of the Plan.

(b)

Amendment and Termination.  Notwithstanding Section 9(a), the Board or the Committee may at any time amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan as it deems advisable; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective without approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s Outstanding Voting Securities present in person or by proxy at any special or annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, to the extent such approval is necessary to continue to qualify the amounts payable hereunder to “covered employees” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code) as deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(c)

Designation of Beneficiary.  Each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (which beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive any payments which may be made following the Participant’s death.  Such designation may be changed or canceled at any time without the consent of any such beneficiary.  Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the



6



Committee.  If no beneficiary has been named, or the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, the beneficiary shall be the Participant’s spouse or, if no spouse survives the Participant, the Participant’s estate.  If a Participant designates more than one beneficiary, the rights of such beneficiaries shall be payable in equal shares, unless the Participant has designated otherwise.

(d)

Withholding.  Any amount payable to a Participant or a beneficiary under the Plan shall be subject to any applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes and any other amounts that the Company or a Subsidiary is required at law to deduct and withhold from such payment.

10.

No Right of Continued Employment.  Neither the existence nor any term of the Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor shall participation herein for any Performance Cycle confer upon any Participant any right to participate in the Plan with respect to any subsequent Performance Cycle.

11.

No Limitation on Corporate Actions.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from taking any corporate action which is deemed by it to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on any Awards made under the Plan.  No employee, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any such action.

12.

Miscellaneous.

(a)

Nonalienation of Benefits.  Except as expressly provided herein, no Participant or beneficiary shall have the power or right to transfer, anticipate, or otherwise encumber the Participant’s interest under the Plan.  The Company’s obligations under the Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (i) a corporation or other entity which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (ii) any corporation or other entity into which the Company may be merged or consolidated.  The provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant’s beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or successors in interest.

(b)

Severability.  If any provision of the Plan is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan.

(c)

Governing Law.  The Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

(d)

Section 409A.  The provisions of the Plan and any payments made herein are intended to comply with, and should be interpreted consistent with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any related regulations or other guidance promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (“Section 409A”).
