The applicable Performance Period and Performance Target(s) will be determined by the Committee consistent with the terms of this Plan and Code Section 162(m) to the extent the Committee determines the Award should qualify as “qualified performance based compensation” for purposes of Code Section 162(m). Notwithstanding the fact that the Performance Target(s) have been attained, the Committee may pay an Award under this Article 11 of less than the amount determined by the formula or standard established pursuant to Section 11.1(b) or may pay no Award at all.

(b) Selection of Performance Target(s) . The specific Performance Target(s) for each Participant with respect to the Business Criteria must be established by the Committee in writing in advance of the deadlines to the extent applicable under Code Section 162(m) and while the performance relating to the Performance Target(s) remains substantially uncertain within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), as applicable. The Performance Target(s) with respect to any Performance Period may be established on a Company-wide basis or established with respect to one or more operating units, departments, divisions, acquired businesses, minority investments, partnerships or joint ventures, subsidiary, or Affiliate; and may be measured on an

15

absolute or cumulative basis, on the basis of percentage of improvement over time, in terms of Company performance (or performance of the applicable operating unit, department, division, acquired business, minority investment, partnership, joint venture, subsidiary, or Affiliate), or relative to selected peer companies or a market index. At the time the Performance Target(s) are selected, the Committee shall provide, in terms of an objective formula or standard for each Participant, the method of computing the specific amount that will represent the maximum amount of Award payable to a Participant if the Performance Target(s) are attained.

(c) Effect of Mid-Year Commencement of Service . If service as an Officer or Eligible Employee commences after the Performance Target(s) are established for a Performance Period, the Committee may grant an Award and establish Performance Target(s) for a Performance Period that is proportionately adjusted based on the period of actual service during the Year.

(d) Adjustments . To preserve the intended incentives and benefits of an Award based on Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Revenues, Adjusted Return on Assets or Adjusted Return on Equity, the Committee may determine at the time the Performance Targets are established that certain adjustments shall apply to the objective formula or standard with respect to the applicable Performance Target to take into account, in whole or in part, in any manner specified by the Committee, any one or more of the following with respect to the Performance Period:

Each of the adjustments described in this Section 11.1(d) may relate to CEI as a whole or any part of CEI’s business or operations, as determined by the Committee at the time the Performance Targets are established. The adjustments are to be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, unless another objective method of measurement is designated by the Committee. In addition to the foregoing, the Committee shall adjust any Business Criteria, Performance Targets or other features of an Award that relate to or are wholly or partially based on the number of, or the value of, any stock of CEI, to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin off, split off, partial or complete liquidation, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar changes in such stock.

(e) Committee to Determine Award . The Committee may determine the standard or formula pursuant to which each Participant’s Award shall be calculated, whether all or any portion of the amount so calculated will be paid or reduced, and the specific amount (if any) to be paid to each Participant, subject in all cases to the terms, conditions and limits of this Plan. To this same extent, the Committee may at any time establish (and, once established, rescind, waive or amend) additional terms and conditions of payment of Awards (including but not limited to the achievement of other financial, strategic or individual goals, which may be

16

objective or subjective) as it may deem desirable in carrying out the purposes of this Plan. The Committee may not increase the maximum amount permitted to be paid to any individual under the terms of this Plan or pay Awards under this Article 11 if the applicable Performance Targets have not been met.

Section 11.2 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards .

(a) Grants of Performance-Based Restricted Stock .

The Performance-Based Restricted Stock will be issued in the name of the Participant pursuant to such procedures established by the Company and will include a restrictive legend prohibiting sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock until the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period. The Committee may also impose such other restrictions and conditions on the Performance-Based Restricted Stock, as it deems necessary or appropriate.

(b) Upon issuance to a Participant of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock, the Participant will have the right to vote the Performance-Based Restricted Stock, and may, as determined by the Committee, receive the cash dividends distributable with respect to such Shares. The Committee may direct the accumulation and payment of distributable dividends to the Participant at such times, and in such form and manner, as determined by the Committee consistent with Applicable Laws. Dividends granted as a component of a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award that vests or is earned based on the achievement of Performance Targets, shall not vest or be earned unless such Performance Targets for the underlying Award are achieved.

At the time a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award is granted, the Committee may establish a Restriction Period applicable to such Award, which will be no less than one nor more than ten years. Each Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award may have a different Restriction Period, as determined by the Committee.

(d) Waiver of Section 83(b) Election .

The Committee may direct the accumulation and payment of Dividend Equivalents to the Participant at such times, and in such form and manner, as determined by the Committee consistent with the requirements of Section 409A and such other Applicable Laws. Dividend Equivalents granted as a component of a Performance Unit Award which vests or is earned based upon the achievement of Performance Targets, shall not vest or be earned unless such Performance Targets for the underlying Award are achieved.

Section 11.4 Terms and Conditions .

(a) As soon as practicable after the end of each Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether the Performance Targets and other material terms of the Award were satisfied. The Committee’s determination of all such matters will be final and conclusive.

(b) As soon as practicable after the date the Committee makes the above determination, the Committee will determine the Award payment, if any, for each Participant. Before any payments are made under this

17

Article 11, the Committee will be responsible for certifying in writing to CEI that the applicable Performance Targets have been met. For this purpose, approved minutes of the Committee in which such certification is made may be treated as a written certification.

(d) Any shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock that are forfeited will be transferred to CEI.

Section 11.5 Form and Timing of Payment .

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, subject to the terms of this Article 15, in the event that (i) a Change in Control occurs and (ii) a Participant (other than a Director Participant) incurs a CIC Separation from Service, the Participant will be entitled to accelerated vesting or payout (as set forth in Section 15.2) with respect to any outstanding Award.

19

Section 15.2 Amount of Award Subject to Accelerated Vesting and Payout . The amount of a Participant’s outstanding Award that will be paid or vest upon a CIC Separation from Service, unless the Committee determines otherwise, will be determined as follows:

(a) Stock Unit Awards . A Participant will be entitled to an accelerated Award payout, and the amount of the payout will be the balance of the number of Stock Units in his or her Stock Unit Account granted pursuant to Article 8, pro rated based on the number of months that have elapsed from the Date of Grant up to and including the date of the CIC Separation from Service.

(b) Restricted Stock Awards . A Participant will be entitled to an accelerated Award payout, and the amount of the payout will be based on the number of shares of outstanding Restricted Stock that were granted on the Date of Grant plus any stock resulting from reinvested dividends (if any), pro rated based on the number of months that have elapsed from the Date of Grant up to and including the date of the CIC Separation from Service.

(c) Stock Option Awards and Stock Appreciation Rights . Any previously granted Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that are not vested upon the occurrence of a CIC Separation from Service will vest on a prorated basis, based on the number of months that have elapsed from the Date of Grant up to and including the date of the CIC Separation from Service.

A Participant will be entitled to an accelerated Award payout, and the amount of the payout will be based on the number of shares of outstanding Performance-Based Restricted Stock and the number of Performance Units subject to the Award as established on the Date of Grant, prorated based on the number of months of the Performance Period that have elapsed from the Date of Grant up to and including the date of the CIC Separation from Service, and assuming that the Performance Targets were achieved at target levels.

Subject to Article 16, accelerated payouts provided for in Section 15.2 will be made within 30 days after the occurrence of a CIC Separation from Service.

The amount of the payout will be the balance of the number of Stock Units in his or her Stock Unit Account and shall be paid in a single one-time payment of Shares (rounded to the nearest whole Share as determined under Section 26.12) within 30 days following the occurrence of the Change in Control.

Section 18.1 Tax Withholding . Pursuant to such methodology as determined by the Committee, the Company shall have the authority to withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company prior to issuance or delivery of any Shares or cash hereunder, an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum statutory amount required by any applicable federal, state or local taxes, FICA, FICA-MED and SUTA withholding requirements associated with any Award. Subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, the Committee may permit or require the Participant to have any portion of any withholding or other taxes payable in respect to a distribution of Common Stock satisfied through (i) the payment of cash by the Participant to the Company, (ii) the withholding of amounts due the Participant from other compensation, (iii) the retention by the Company of Shares, or delivery of previously owned Shares, having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax withholding is required to be made equal to the withholding amount, (iv) the canceling of any number of Shares issuable in an amount sufficient to reimburse the Company for the amount it is required to withhold, or (v) any other method approved by the Committee. Any such Share withholding with respect to a Participant subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be subject to such limitations as the Committee may impose to comply with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Each Participant shall bear all expenses of, and be solely responsible for all federal, state and local taxes, FICA, FICA-MED and SUTA Taxes due with respect on any Award made under the terms of this Plan. All Awards will be reported to the IRS on the appropriate tax form.

ARTICLE 19. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATIONS, AND TERMINATION

Section 19.1 Amendment of Plan . The Committee may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan, any Award Document or any Award, in whole or in part, as it may deem advisable, except (i) no such action that would require the consent of the Board and/or the stockholders of CEI pursuant to Code Section 162(m) or any other Applicable Laws, the listing requirement of any national securities exchange or national market system on which are listed any of CEI’s equity securities shall be effective without such consent; and (ii) no such action may be taken without the written consent of a Participant to whom any Award was previously granted, which materially adversely affects the rights of such Participant concerning such Award, except as such termination, suspension or amendment of this Plan is required by Applicable Laws. Upon termination, the administration will continue in effect until all matters relating to the payment of outstanding Awards and the administration of this Plan have been settled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have broad authority to amend this Plan, an Award Document or any Award without the consent of a

21

Participant to the extent it deems necessary or desirable to (x) comply with, take into account changes in, or interpretations of, Applicable Laws or (y) take into account unusual or nonrecurring events or market conditions (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 6.4 of this Plan).

Section 19.2 Section 409A Compliance. This Plan is intended to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 409A or an applicable exemption to Section 409A and shall be administered and interpreted consistent with such intent. If the Committee determines in good faith that any provision of this Plan does not satisfy such requirements or could otherwise cause any person to recognize additional taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A, the Committee will modify, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violation of the requirements of Section 409A (“ Section 409A Compliance ”), and, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee shall have broad authority to amend or to modify this Plan, without advance notice to or consent by any person, to the extent necessary or desirable to ensure Section 409A Compliance. Any determination by the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties.

ARTICLE 20. NO IMPLIED RIGHTS

Section 20.1 No Rights to Continue Employment. Participating in this Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment between the Company and any person and shall not be deemed to be consideration for, or a condition of, continued employment of any person or affect any right of the Company to terminate any employee’s employment.

Section 20.2 No Rights to Continue as Director. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to confer upon any Director any right to remain a member of the Board or of the board of directors or analogous governing body of an Affiliate or in any way limit the right of a Company’s stockholders to terminate or fail to re-nominate or reelect any Director as a member of a Board.

Section 20.3 No Rights to Awards. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to confer upon any employee or other person any claim or right to be granted an Award under the terms of this Plan.

ARTICLE 21. NONTRANSFERABILITY

Section 21.1 No Award or benefit provided under the terms of this Plan shall be subject to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, execution, levy or garnishment or other legal process by creditors of a Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary or by the Participant (or by any person entitled to such Award or benefit under the terms of this Plan) except (i) to the extent specifically mandated and directed by Applicable Laws; (ii) as requested by the Participant (or by any person entitled to such benefit under the terms of this Plan), and approved by the Committee to satisfy income tax withholding; (iii) as requested by the Participant and approved by the Committee to members of the Participant’s family, or a trust established by the Participant for the benefit of family members; (iv) by will; (v) by the laws of descent and distribution; (vi) pursuant to a beneficiary designation in accordance with Article 22 (Beneficiary Designation); or (vii) to the extent transfer of such Award or benefit is otherwise authorized by the Committee.

Section 22.1 If a benefit is payable upon the death of a Participant, the Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom such benefit under the terms of this Plan is to be paid in the event of the Participant’s death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by CEI, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company or its

22

designate or agent during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, or if such designated beneficiary or beneficiaries do not survive the Participant, to the extent benefits are payable and remain unpaid at the Participant’s death they shall be paid to his or her estate.

ARTICLE 23. SUCCESSORS

Section 23.1 All rights and obligations of CEI under the terms of this Plan shall be binding on any successor to CEI, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of CEI or other corporate reorganization in which CEI will not be the surviving corporation or in which the holders of the Common Stock will receive securities of another corporation. CEI and such successor shall be jointly and severally liable for all of CEI’s obligations under the terms of this Plan.

ARTICLE 24. UNFUNDED STATUS

Section 24.1 Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. This Plan shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between CEI and any employee, Participant or other person. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under the terms of this Plan, such rights shall constitute general, unsecured liabilities of CEI and shall not confer upon such person any right, title or interest in any assets of CEI and does not require a segregation of any assets of the Company.

ARTICLE 25. ACCOUNT STATEMENT

Section 25.1 CEI will maintain accounts, and credit thereto bookkeeping entries evidencing unfunded and unsecured general obligations of CEI. Annually, CEI will send to each Participant a statement of his or her account(s). This statement will include the account(s) balance and all activity since the last statement.

ARTICLE 26. GENERAL

Section 26.1 No Stockholder Rights Conferred . Nothing contained in this Plan will confer upon a Participant or beneficiary any rights of a stockholder of CEI unless and until Shares are in fact issued or transferred to such Participant or beneficiary pursuant to such procedures established by the Company.

23

Section 26.6 Severability . If any part of this Plan is declared to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any other part of this Plan. Any part of this Plan so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner that will give effect to the terms of such part of the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

Section 26.7 Government and Other Regulations . The obligation of CEI to make payment of Awards in Shares or otherwise shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, and to such approvals by any government agencies as may be required. CEI shall be under no obligation to register under the Securities Act, any of the Shares issued, delivered or paid in settlement under the terms of this Plan. If Shares awarded under the terms of this Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, CEI may restrict its transfer in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure such exempt status. If CEI determines that the exercise or nonforfeitability of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Award or deferral election would violate any applicable provision of Applicable Laws, then CEI may, in a manner consistent with any Applicable Laws, postpone any such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery, as applicable, but CEI shall use all reasonable efforts to cause such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date. If CEI deems necessary to comply with any Applicable Laws, CEI may require a written investment intent representation by a Participant or beneficiary and may require that a restrictive legend be affixed to certificates for Shares delivered under this Plan.

Section 26.8 Governing Law and Interpretation . The provisions of this Plan shall take precedence over any conflicting provision contained in an Award.

Any Awards under the terms of this Plan are not considered compensation for purposes of determining benefits under any pension, profit sharing, or other retirement or welfare plan, or for any other general employee benefit program unless specifically provided by any such plan or program.

Section 26.11 Ratification of Actions . By accepting any Award or other benefit under the terms of this Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated such Participant’s acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the terms of this Plan by CEI, the Board, the Plan Administrator or the Committee.

Section 26.12 Fractional Shares . Any fractional Shares concerning Awards shall be eliminated at the time of payment or payout by rounding down for fractions of less than one-half and rounding up for fractions of equal to or more than one-half.

Section 26.13 Repricing . The Committee may not effect a Repricing of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the terms of this Plan without the approval of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, no Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be repurchased or otherwise cancelled in exchange for cash or other property (except in connection with a change in the Common Stock or the capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 6.4 above) if the exercise price of the Option or the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right is equal to or less than the Fair Market Value of a Share at the time of such repurchase or exchange without the approval of the Company’s stockholders.
