Information Regarding Status as a Controlled Company, the Board of Directors,

Controlled Company Exemption

      Nasdaq has established specific exemptions from its listing standards for controlled companies. The Company is a “controlled company” by virtue of the fact that Terence E. Adderley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, controls the power to vote more than fifty percent of the Company’s outstanding voting stock.

      A controlled company is not required to have a majority of its Board of Directors comprised of independent directors. Director nominees are not required to be selected or recommended for the Board’s selection by a majority of independent directors or a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors, nor does Nasdaq require a controlled company to certify the adoption of a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process. A controlled company is also exempt from Nasdaq’s requirements regarding the determination of officer compensation by a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors.

      A controlled company is required to have an Audit Committee composed of at least three directors, who are independent as defined under the rules of both the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq. Nasdaq further requires that all members of the Audit Committee have the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements and that at least one member of the Committee possess financial sophistication. The independent directors must also meet at least twice a year in meetings at which only they are present.

Board of Directors

      The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the business of the Company.

      The Board has affirmatively determined that Donald R. Parfet and B. Joseph White, who are nominees standing for election at the 2005 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders, and Directors Jane E. Dutton, Maureen A. Fay and Verne G. Istock, whose respective terms of office continue until the Annual Meetings of the Stockholders in 2006 or 2007, are independent as that term is defined by the Nasdaq listing standards, and have no material relationship with the Company. Mr. Adderley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Carl Camden, President and Chief Operating Officer, are management Directors.

      In February 2005 the Board of Directors reaffirmed its Corporate Governance Principles (“the Principles”) which were first adopted in February 2004. The full text of the Principles and the charters of the Board’s three standing committees, which are an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, are available on the Company’s website at www.kellyservices.com under the caption “Corporate Governance.”

      The Board held six meetings during the last fiscal year.

Standing Committees

      The Audit Committee, composed of J. E. Dutton, M. A. Fay, D. R. Parfet, V. G. Istock (Chair) and B. J. White, held nine meetings in 2004. The Audit Committee’s purpose is to approve the scope of the work and fees of the independent registered public accounting firm and to review with the independent registered public accounting firm their report or opinion on the Company’s financial statements and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Board has unanimously determined that M. A. Fay, D. R. Parfet, V. G. Istock and B. J. White qualify as “audit committee financial experts” within the meaning of SEC regulations and as such meet the “financial sophistication” requirements under current Nasdaq listing standards. J. E. Dutton has the requisite understanding of financial statements to serve as a member of the Audit Committee. At least one member of the Audit Committee has financial management expertise.

      The Compensation Committee, whose functions are described in the Compensation Committee Report on page 9 of this Proxy Statement, held four meetings in 2004 and is composed of J. E. Dutton, M. A. Fay, D. R. Parfet, V. G. Istock and B. J. White (Chair).

      The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, whose members are J. E. Dutton, M. A. Fay (Chair), D. R. Parfet, V. G. Istock and B. J. White, independent directors, and T. E. Adderley, controlling shareholder, held four meetings during 2004. The Committee’s responsibilities include assisting the Board of Directors in identifying individuals qualified to become Directors, overseeing the compensation and structure of the Board of Directors and the standing committees, developing and monitoring a process to evaluate Board and committee effectiveness and maintaining and overseeing the implementation of the Company’s corporate governance principles.

      All of the Directors of the Company attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which each served.

Table of Contents

      Below is a description of key Principles and how they have been implemented, if appropriate.

Director Nominations, Qualifications, Effectiveness and Independence

      The Board is responsible for approving director nominees based on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Board has not adopted a policy whereby stockholders may recommend nominees because of the Company’s status as a controlled company.

      Directors must have the highest personal and professional character and integrity and substantial experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated. Candidates are selected based upon the contributions they can make to the Board.

      Directors are provided an orientation program and participate in continuing education through presentations developed by the Company.

      The number of boards on which a director serves, along with any other time commitments a director may have, are considerations in determining the director’s ability to serve effectively. The Board conducts an annual evaluation of its performance. The evaluation process includes an assessment of the Board’s effectiveness and independence, access to and review of information provided by management, responsiveness to stockholder concerns and maintenance of standards of business conduct and ethics and of the Principles.

      At least annually the Board assesses the independence of the Company’s non-management directors and the financial sophistication or financial expertise of the members of the Audit Committee. In determining the independence of the current nominees and continuing non-management Directors, the Board primarily considered the following factors:

6

Table of Contents

Tenure

      A non-management director shall tender his or her resignation at the time of resignation, retirement or termination from his or her current position, upon a material change in position or upon attaining age seventy. The Board retains sole discretion whether or not to accept a resignation. Term limits are not established. The perceived value of term limits are outweighed by the contributions of directors who have been able to develop, over a period of time, increasing insight into the Company’s operations and strategic direction.

Meetings and Attendance

      Six regular meetings at appropriate intervals are considered desirable for the Board to properly discharge its duties. Special meetings may be called to address specific needs.

      Directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders, all Board meetings and all meetings of the committees on which they individually serve. All Directors then in office attended the 2004 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders.

      The independent directors are required to meet in executive session at least twice annually. The Chair of each standing committee in rotation serves as the presiding director at the executive sessions.

Management Evaluation and Succession Planning

      At least annually Mr. Adderley will meet with the Compensation Committee to discuss potential successors as Chief Executive Officer and review the performance of members of senior management.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

      The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“the Code”) that applies to all Directors, officers and employees to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, deter wrongdoing, provide mechanisms to report dishonest or unethical conduct and help foster a culture of honesty and accountability. The Code addresses conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, confidentiality, protection and proper use of assets, fair dealing, compliance with laws, rules and regulations and Company policies, public company reporting requirements and provides an enforcement mechanism.

      The full text of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which was last amended in February 2005, is set forth in Appendix A to this proxy statement and is posted on the Company’s website, at www.kellyservices.com, under the “Corporate Governance” caption. This information is available in print to any stockholder who requests it from the Investor Relations Department. The Company will disclose future amendments to, or waivers from the Code for its Directors, Executive Officers and senior financial officers on its website within five business days following the date of amendment or waiver, or such earlier period as may be prescribed by the SEC.

Stockholder Communications

      Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors, in writing, addressed to the Board of Directors and mailed to the Corporate Secretary, Kelly Services, Inc., 999 West Big Beaver Road, Troy, MI 48084. All written stockholder communications will be summarized and reported to the Board at its regularly scheduled meetings.

Compensation of Directors

      Directors of the Company who are not salaried officers are paid an annual fee of $50,000 (consisting of a $25,000 cash retainer fee and a stock award worth $25,000), a fee of $1,200 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended and a fee of $1,000 for each meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors attended. The $25,000 stock award portion of the annual fee is made under the Non-Employee Director Stock Award Plan approved by the stockholders in 1995, as amended on May 14, 2001, from which each non-officer Director receives an annual grant of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock equal in value to the Director’s annual cash retainer fee.

      Directors who serve as chairs of the Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees are paid an additional annual retainer of $5,000.

      On May 10, 1999, the stockholders approved the adoption of the Kelly Services, Inc. 1999 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, under which the Board of Directors from time to time may make discretionary grants of options to purchase shares of Class A common stock to non-employee directors. In 2004, the Board granted to each non-employee director an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Class A common stock at the fair market value of the stock on the day of the grant. Each of these 10-year options vests in thirds on the first day of January of each of the three years immediately following the grant.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

      The Company’s compensation program for senior officers, including the named executive officers, is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed of independent directors. The Committee has responsibility for review and final approval of all adjustments in salary and short-term incentive awards for executives of the Company, including, with respect to 2004, administering the Kelly Services, Inc. Short-Term Incentive Plan. The Committee also administers the Kelly Services, Inc. Performance Incentive Plan (the Company’s long-term incentive plan) and approves the grant of awards under such Plan.

Compensation Principles

      The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are: (a) to align key executive and management employees with the Company’s strategic and financial objectives; (b) to attract and retain a management team of high quality; (c) to create incentives which motivate employees to achieve continual growth and increasing profitability of the Company; and (d) to promote the common interests of stockholders, executives, and key management employees.

      Total compensation is directly related to the successful achievement of the Company’s performance objectives. Short-term objectives are established on an annual basis, the achievement of which is rewarded annually. Long-term objectives are linked to a multiple year period, the achievement of which will be rewarded accordingly. All compensation, other than stock options and restricted stock awards which are time-based, whether in the form of salary, short-term incentive awards, grants of performance shares, or cash equivalents, is based on successful accomplishment of periodically established objectives reflecting the Company’s business and financial goals. Performance objectives, which are identified as short or long-term, provide standards for the measurement of Company and unit performance. Some performance objectives are Company-wide; others will vary, depending on individual responsibilities, groups of employees, or particular projects and plans.

      The Company ordinarily seeks to provide performance-based compensation that allows for maximum deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. However, tax deductibility is only one of many factors that must be considered in any final decision regarding executive compensation. In order to best serve the Company and the interests of its stockholders, the Company may determine that payment of non-deductible compensation is necessary and appropriate to provide awards consistent with the overall philosophy and objectives of the compensation program.

      The Committee seeks to encourage substantial stock ownership by the Company’s senior officers so as to align their interests more closely with the stockholders’ interests. In order to do so, the Committee has approved share ownership requirements for these executives. The minimum share ownership requirements are 70,000 shares for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 50,000 shares for the President and Chief Operating Officer, 30,000 shares for the executive vice presidents, and 10,000 shares for the senior vice presidents. Upon achievement of the minimum share ownership requirement, all senior officers are additionally required to retain ownership in fifty percent of any net after-tax shares of vested restricted stock. Senior officers are required to maintain their stock ownership levels as long as they are employed by the Company and are participants in the stock ownership plan.

Table of Contents

      The following is a discussion of the major elements of the Company’s executive compensation program along with a description of the decisions and actions taken by the Committee with regard to 2004 compensation of Mr. Adderley as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Succession Planning

      In 2004, the Committee conducted a detailed review of the individual senior officers, which included performance assessments, potential for advancement, identification of potential successors, developmental needs, compensation history and stock equity history. This review coincided with the determination and approval of annual salary, bonus and stock equity awards.

Annual Compensation

      Annual cash compensation for the named executive officers consists of base salaries and cash incentive bonuses.

      Base salaries for the named executive officers are targeted to be competitive with the marketplace, identified by national surveys of executive compensation in which the Company periodically participates and which are recognized as credible within the professional field of compensation management. Because the Company competes to recruit executive-level personnel from many industries and not just from the staffing industry, the companies included in the surveys referred to above are not the same as those included in the Peer Group Index used in this Proxy Statement for performance graph purposes. Base salaries are targeted to correspond generally with the median of the range of salaries in the surveys consulted.

      Competitive assessments include reviewing salary survey data of comparative companies, not necessarily in the staffing industry, and other relevant factors. Individual performance is also a factor in determining base salary. The Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the annual salary for all officers.

      June 1 is now the point in each year when the base salaries of officers of the Company are normally reviewed and possibly increased. In May 2004, the Committee considered whether economic conditions would warrant annual salary increases for Company personnel, including Company officers. The Committee concluded that then-current economic conditions warranted general increases, subject to exceptions for special circumstances, and that recommendation was followed by the Company. Following a review of his performance, the Committee increased Mr. Adderley’s annual salary, effective June 2004, from $830,000 per year to $900,000 per year.

      Cash bonuses to the named executive officers, including Mr. Adderley, are subject to the terms of the Company’s Short-Term Incentive Plan. In accordance with that plan, in February 2004, the Committee established target and threshold goals based on corporate diluted earnings per share and a specific payout schedule for each executive showing a range of potential bonus amounts the executive could receive under the plan, which depended solely on the extent to which the Company’s actual 2004 diluted earnings per share met or exceeded the threshold. The entire potential bonus for Mr. Adderley and the other named executive officers was tied to this objectively determinable standard. The potential bonuses for other participants in the Plan were tied partially to this corporate earnings standard and

10

Table of Contents

      The Company’s actual earnings per share for the year 2004 did exceed the payout threshold the Committee had established for the year. In February 2005, the Committee determined that, based on the schedule and the actual corporate earnings result, a cash bonus would be approved for 2004 for Mr. Adderley, for the named executive officers and other executives participating in the Short-Term Incentive Plan. Accordingly, the Committee approved a cash bonus of $839,000 for Mr. Adderley. The Committee also reviewed and approved cash bonuses for all other officers.

Long-Term Compensation

      The long-term incentive compensation for the named executive officers can consist of cash and stock-based awards made under the Company’s Performance Incentive Plan. Non-Qualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, and Restricted Stock Awards, are currently the only type of awards outstanding under the Performance Incentive Plan.

      The decision to grant stock-based awards is considered periodically by the Committee during each year. Stock-based awards may be given to new hires, employees promoted to new positions, and other key managers and executives as deemed appropriate by the Committee. During 2004, the Committee granted limited authority to Mr. Adderley to award stock-based awards for new hires, employees promoted to new positions, and other key managers and executives below the rank of senior vice president. All stock-based awards approved by Mr. Adderley were reviewed by the Committee. Grant size was determined based on a guideline of option shares for each management level that is generally competitive with the median level of grants awarded by companies of similar size.

      During 2004, the Committee conducted reviews of compensation components for chief executive officers in companies of similar size. As a result of these reviews, the Committee during 2004 recommended that Mr. Adderley be awarded Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase 24,000 shares of Class A common stock, in accordance with the parameters of competitive practice. These stock options vest over a three-year period. The Committee also reviewed and approved Stock Options to purchase shares of Class A common stock for other senior officers, all of which vest over a three year period.

      In 2004, Mr. Adderley and the other senior officers of the Company were granted Restricted Shares of the Company’s Class A common stock under the Company’s Performance Incentive Plan. These Restricted Shares vest over a three year period. Mr. Adderley received Restricted Share Awards totaling 8,000 shares.

Conclusion

      The Committee believes that the Company’s executive compensation program, providing as it does for competitive base salaries along with short and long-term incentive compensation opportunities, is an important factor in motivating executives as well as maintaining an appropriate focus on increasing stockholder value.

Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall consist of no fewer than five (5) and no more than nine (9) members, the exact number of Directors to be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has fixed the number of Directors constituting the whole Board at seven (7). Donald R.

Approval of Kelly Services, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan

      On February 7, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Kelly Services, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan” or the “Equity Incentive Plan”), subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders. The Plan provides for the grant to officers and employees of the Company of options to purchase shares of Class A stock and other equity-based awards, which may be incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, performance share units, or other stock-based awards (collectively, “Awards”). The Equity Incentive Plan is designed to replace the 1996 Performance Incentive Plan. If the Plan is approved, the 1996 Performance Incentive Plan will be terminated by the action of the Board of Directors. Existing awards previously granted under the 1996 Performance Incentive Plan will continue to remain outstanding in accordance with their terms; however, all future awards will be made under the Equity Incentive Plan.

      The Board of Directors is asking the Company’s stockholders to approve the Equity Incentive Plan to enable the Company to issue “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to qualify certain Awards as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). In addition, Nasdaq rules require stockholder approval of the Plan.

      A summary of the principal features of the Equity Incentive Plan is set forth below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached as Appendix C to this proxy statement.

      The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR approval of the Equity Incentive Plan.

Description of the Equity Incentive Plan

      The following summary outlines the principal features of the Equity Incentive Plan.

      Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide for long-term incentive stock-related compensation to selected key employees of the Company or an affiliated entity of the Company for their contributions to the Company’s growth and profitability. Such compensation is intended to help the Company attract and retain superior employees, and to give those employees shared financial interests with the Company’s stockholders that are believed to positively affect their job performance.

      Eligibility. The persons who are eligible to receive Awards pursuant to the Plan are employees of the Company or any affiliated entity of the Company who are designated by the Committee (as defined below) from time to time. The Company estimates that approximately 100 of its employees would currently be eligible for Awards under the Plan.

      Administration. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board or any other committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan (the “Committee”). The Committee must be comprised of two or more “non-employee” directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, to the extent that the Company determines it desirable to qualify Awards granted under the Plan as “performance-based compensation”

Table of Contents

      The Committee may delegate to the chief executive officer of the Company, if also a director, authority to grant Awards under the Plan to employees who are not required to report transactions in Company stock (“Section 16 Reporting Persons”) or who are not senior vice presidents or officers of higher rank.

      Award Types. The Equity Incentive Plan permits the Committee to grant, in its discretion, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, performance share units, additional shares, or other stock-based awards, each of which is described below.

      Maximum Number of Shares Awardable Under the Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is designed as a so-called “evergreen” plan in that it does not specify a maximum number of shares of Class A stock that may be issued and made subject to issuance over the life of the Plan. Instead, it provides that, at any given time, the maximum number of shares that may be issued and made subject to future issuance shall equal 10% of the number of shares of Class A stock that were outstanding (exclusive of treasury shares) as of the end of the immediately preceding Company fiscal year (rounded downward if necessary to eliminate fractional shares), reduced to take into account various awards made during the period consisting of the immediately preceding four complete fiscal years of the Company and its then-current fiscal year to date (the “Adjustment Period”), and increased by the number of shares as to which stock options granted during the Adjustment Period have since expired or terminated for any reason other than exercise of such options or related SARs or by any shares transferred to the Company to satisfy the exercise price of any options. Stock options, SARs and other equity-based awards assumed by the Company in a merger or acquisition of another company will not count against the shares available for Award under the Plan.

      In addition, the number of shares covered by outstanding incentive stock options, plus the number of shares issued in settlement of exercised incentive stock options under the Plan, may not exceed 4,000,000 shares.

      Incentive Stock Options. Incentive stock options entitle the holder to purchase a certain number of shares of Class A stock at an exercise price specified at the time the option is granted. The exercise price per share of Class A stock that may be purchased under an incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Class A stock on the date the option is granted. The aggregate fair market value of all shares of Class A stock subject to incentive stock options that become exercisable for the first time during any year may not exceed $100,000.

      Non-Qualified Stock Options. Non-qualified stock options, which are stock options that are not incentive stock options, entitle the holder to purchase a certain number of shares of Class A stock at an exercise price which is at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share of Class A stock on the date the option is granted.

      Number of Shares Underlying Options. The maximum number of shares that may be granted as options (whether or not in tandem with SARs) during any consecutive five calendar years to any single employee is 750,000.

      Exercisability of Options. At the time of grant, the Committee will specify the time at which any portion of an option first becomes exercisable and the latest date on which the option may be exercised. The expiration date for any incentive stock option granted to a 10% owner will not be longer than five years after the date of grant, and the expiration date for any other option will not be longer than ten years after the date of grant. The Committee shall determine the disposition of the grant of each option in the event of the death, disability or other termination of employment of an employee. The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any portion of an option or provide for automatic acceleration of exercisability upon the occurrence of such events as it may specify, such as upon the death or disability of a grantee.

      Option Price. The Committee will determine the exercise price per share of options but in no event will the exercise price be less than the fair market value of a share of Class A stock on the date the option is granted. Except as otherwise limited by the Committee at the time of grant, payment for shares of Class A stock purchased upon exercise of an option shall be made on the effective date of such exercise by one or a combination of the following means: (1) entirely in cash; (2) by delivery of whole shares of Class A stock owned by the option holder for more than six months on the date of surrender; or (3) pursuant to a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan.

      Restoration Options. The Committee may provide that an option shall also carry with it a right to receive another option (a “Restoration Option”) in certain circumstances. A Restoration Option may be created at the time of grant of an option or at any other time while the grantee continues to be eligible for awards and the original option is outstanding. A Restoration Option may arise only if, earlier than six months before the expiration date of the prior option, the grantee exercises the prior option while still an employee and pays all or some of the exercise price in shares of Class A stock that have been owned by the grantee for at least six months prior to exercise. The number of shares subject to the Restoration Option shall be the number of whole shares delivered in exercise of the prior option, subject to Plan limitations on the number of shares that may be granted under the Plan. The per share exercise price of a Restoration Option shall be the fair market value of a share of Class A stock on the date the Restoration Option arises, and the expiration date of the Restoration Option shall be the same as that of the prior option. The Restoration Option will be a non-qualified stock option and will first become exercisable six months after it arises.

      SARs. SARs are rights that, when exercised, entitle the holder to the appreciation in value of the number of shares of Class A stock specified in the grant from the date granted to the date exercised. An exercised SAR may be settled in cash or stock, or any combination of cash and stock, as specified by the holder. SARs may be either stand-alone SARs, which are not granted in conjunction with an option, or tandem SARs, which may be granted at the same time as or subsequent to the time that its related option is granted. The exercise price of a tandem SAR will be the exercise price per share under the related option, and the exercise price per share subject to a stand-alone SAR will not be less than the fair market value of a share of Class A stock on the effective date of grant of the SAR. A SAR will be exercisable after a grantee’s termination of employment to the extent and during such period as determined in the Committee’s discretion, and as set forth in the award agreement evidencing such SAR.

      Restricted Shares. Restricted shares consist of shares of Class A stock issued under the Plan that are subject to certain restrictions established by the Committee, which may include the achievement of performance goals specified by the Committee. Restricted stock awards may not be disposed of by the recipient until the restrictions imposed by the Committee have lapsed. If a grantee remains an employee

24

Table of Contents

      Restricted Share Units. Restricted share units are awards that may consist of Class A stock, cash equivalents of Class A stock, or a combination of both. Payout of a restricted share unit award is subject to certain restrictions established by the Committee, which may include the achievement of performance goals specified by the Committee. If a grantee remains an employee throughout the restriction period (which may not be less than 12 months), and upon satisfaction of any other restrictions imposed by the Committee, the award shall be settled in cash, whole shares of Class A stock, or a combination of cash and stock, as the Committee shall determine.

      Performance Awards for Employees Other than Named Executive Officers. “Performance awards” may be performance shares or performance share units, which are shares of Class A stock or share units that are subject to forfeiture if performance goals are not attained. At the time of grant, the Committee shall establish a performance period with respect to the performance award of not less than one year nor more than five years. If the performance award is granted during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, the performance period will begin on the first day of the fiscal year. Otherwise, the performance period will begin on the date of grant. At the time of grant, the Committee will also establish one or more business performance goals for the performance period, and the weight to be given each such goal. The initial performance goals may be modified or adjusted during the performance period in light of previously unforeseen transactions, events or circumstances occurring after the initial performance goals are established.

      As soon as practicable after the end of the performance period, the Committee will determine the extent to which the performance goals for the related performance award were attained. If the Committee determines that the performance goals were fully attained, and if the grantee of the performance award has remained an employee throughout the performance period, the entire performance award will become fully vested. If the grantee has remained an employee throughout the performance period but the Committee determines that the performance goals were unmet or only partially met, the Committee may permit vesting of all or a portion of the performance award, with the remainder to be forfeited. If the grantee ceases to be an employee during the performance period, the result will be the same, adjusted by a performance factor as determined by the Committee, as if the performance award had been an award of restricted shares and/or restricted share units and the performance period a restriction period.

      At the end of the performance period, the Committee may recommend a grant of additional shares of Class A stock to the grantee of a performance award if the grantee is then an employee and the Committee determines that satisfaction of the performance goals so warrants. Additional shares awarded to a grantee shall be immediately vested and shall be issued to the grantee as soon as practicable after the grant.

25

Table of Contents

      An award of performance share units that vests shall be settled in cash, whole shares of Class A stock or a combination of cash and stock, as the Committee shall determine, as soon as practicable after the vesting date.

      Performance Awards to Named Executive Officers. In order to facilitate exemption of compensation paid in connection with performance awards to named executive officers of the Company (the chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers other than the chief executive officer) from the $1 million tax deduction limit imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan requires that such awards be “performance based” and that certain other requirements be met. In addition, if an award of restricted shares, restricted share units, or other stock-based awards are intended to qualify as “performance-based,” then all requirements described under this subsection will apply to such awards.

      Performance awards may be granted to named executive officers only during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year. Subject to the general limits on award amounts, the maximum number of performance shares and/or performance share units that may be granted to any given named executive officer with respect to a single performance period is 100,000. In addition, the maximum number of options, stand-alone SARs or other stock–based awards that may be granted to any named executive officer during any consecutive five calendar years is 750,000.

      At or prior to the grant of any performance award to a named executive officer, the Committee shall establish one or more objectively determinable performance goals for the award relating to one or more of the following areas of Company performance over the relevant performance period: earnings (which includes similar measurements such as net profits, operating profits and net income, and may be calculated before or after taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization or taxes) or earnings per share of Class A stock; revenues; cash flow; return on revenues, assets or equity; customer or employee retention; customer satisfaction; expenses or expense levels; one or more operating ratios; stock price; market share; capital expenditures; net borrowing, debt leverage levels, credit quality or debt ratings; the accomplishment of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, public offerings or similar extraordinary business transactions; the Company’s Quality Management System; shareholder return; organizational health/productivity; sales volume; or brand or product recognition/acceptance.

      At the same time, the Committee shall establish a “payout” schedule for the performance award, which shall range from 100 percent of the performance shares and/or performance share units constituting the award (if actual Company results for the performance period at least equal the performance goal(s) established) to zero percent of such award (if actual Company results for the period do not at least equal a minimum amount or level specified by the Committee) and shall be structured so as to permit objective determination of payouts over the full range of actual Company results.

      In connection with the establishment of the performance goal(s), the Committee shall specify which (if any) types or categories of extraordinary, unusual, non-recurring, or other items or events shall be excluded or otherwise not taken into account when actual Company results relating to such goal(s) are calculated. The only adjustments in actual Company results which thereafter shall be permissible for purposes of applying the payout schedule shall be objectively determinable adjustments for the items or events so specified.

      The Committee may establish other preconditions to the payout of awards, including preconditions the satisfaction of which may call for subjective determinations by the Committee. The payout on any

26

Table of Contents

      As soon as practicable following the completion of the performance period applicable to a performance award, the Committee will certify in writing the extent to which the applicable performance goals have been attained and the resulting final value of the performance award earned by the named executive officer.

      If a performance award is granted to a named executive officer and the grantee ceases to be an employee before the end of the performance period due to the grantee’s disability, that percentage of the total number of performance shares and/or performance share units comprising such award which equals the percentage of the entire performance period by then elapsed shall be unaffected by the employment termination and the unaffected portion of the award subsequently shall vest or be forfeited or canceled in accordance with the payout schedule, any preconditions, and the provisions of the Plan applicable to the original award. If the grantee’s employment terminates due to death, the performance period for such grantee shall terminate at the end of the year in which death occurs (but no later than the normal performance period). The number of performance shares and/or performance share units payable to the grantee’s estate or beneficiary shall be the maximum award payable, adjusted by a performance factor (the percent of the award earned according to the payout schedule calculated as of the end of the year in which death occurs) times a time factor (a fraction, the numerator of which is the time elapsed between the date of grant and the date of death and the denominator of which is the number of days in the performance period). If the grantee of a performance award ceases to be an employee before the end of the performance period for any other reason, the Committee shall determine the disposition of the Award.

      Foreign Awards. The Committee may modify the terms of an Award that is an option, SAR, restricted share, restricted share unit, or performance award, for grant to an employee who is subject to the tax or other laws of a country other than the United States, and may grant such modified award, and structure and grant other types of awards related to appreciation in value of Class A stock, to such an employee, as the Committee determines necessary or desirable in order to provide such grantee with benefits and incentives comparable to those that would be provided the grantee if the grantee were not subject to such foreign laws.

      Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant awards of Class A stock or Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, the fair market value of, Class A stock. These other stock-based awards will be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including the right to receive shares of Class A stock (or the equivalent cash value of such shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event, the attainment of performance objectives and/or other criteria specified by the Committee.

      Restriction on Repricing. Absent stockholder approval, neither the Committee nor the Board of Directors has the authority to reprice any Award after the date of the initial grant with a lower exercise price in substitution for the original exercise price.

27

Table of Contents

      Nontransferability. No Award may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner except that, if the Committee determines that a transfer will not violate any requirements of the SEC or IRS, the Committee may permit an inter vivos transfer by gift to or for the benefit of a family member of the grantee. Upon the death of a grantee, outstanding Awards granted to such grantee may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the grantee’s estate or by a person who shall have acquired the right to such exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

      Overriding Precondition; Potential Forfeiture. In order for any Award to become vested or exercisable, (1) the grantee of an Award must not engage in any activity that, in the opinion of the Committee, is in competition with any activity of the Company or any affiliated entity of the Company or that is otherwise inimical to the best interests of the Company and that has not been approved by the Board of Directors or the Committee and (2) the grantee must furnish the Committee with all information confirming satisfaction of the foregoing condition that the Committee reasonably requests. If the Committee determines that a grantee has engaged in any of the foregoing prohibited activity, all of the grantee’s then outstanding Awards shall immediately be cancelled and forfeited.

      Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of a reorganization or recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, a stock-on-stock dividend or split, spin-off, reverse split or combination of Class A stock, a rights offering, or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company, the Board shall make such adjustments as it may deem appropriate in the number and kind of shares available for issuance in the aggregate and to any individual under and pursuant to the Plan (including in settlement of incentive stock options), the number and kind of shares covered by outstanding options and the per share exercise price of such options, the numbers of outstanding SARs and share units and the terms of foreign Awards. Any adjustment with respect to an incentive stock option in connection with a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code (or its successor) applies shall be made in accordance with such Code Section unless the Board specifically determines otherwise.

      Duration; Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Plan is effective upon approval of the Board of Directors (subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders) and will continue in effect for a term of 10 years unless terminated by the Board. The Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of any grantee or holder of an Award then outstanding and unvested without the consent of the grantee or holder, unless the amendment or termination is necessary to comply with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan will not be amended without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A stock that may be issued under the Plan, to change the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options, or to make any other amendment that would require approval of the Company’s stockholders under applicable law.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Equity Incentive Plan

      The following discussion is designed to provide a general summary of the material federal income tax consequences, as of the date of this proxy statement, with respect to Awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. In addition to the tax consequences described below, (i) officers and directors of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act may be subject to special rules regarding the income tax consequences of their Awards and (ii) any entitlement to a tax deduction on the part of the

28

      Incentive Stock Options. If a stock option under the Plan is treated as an incentive stock option, the optionee generally recognizes no taxable income as a result of the grant or exercise of the option. However an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price is classified as an item of alternative minimum taxable income in the year of exercise for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.

      The Company will not be allowed a deduction for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option, regardless of the applicability of the alternative minimum tax to the optionee. The Company will be entitled to a deduction, however, to the extent that ordinary income is recognized by the optionee upon a disqualifying disposition (as described below).

      Upon a sale or exchange of the shares at least two years after the grant of an incentive stock option and one year after exercise of the option, gain or loss will be recognized by the optionee equal to the difference between the sale price and the exercise price. Such gain or loss will be characterized for federal income tax purposes as a long-term capital gain or loss. The Company is not entitled to any deduction under these circumstances.

      If an optionee disposes of shares acquired upon issuance of an incentive stock option prior to completion of either of the above holding periods, the optionee will have made a “disqualifying disposition” of the shares. In such event, the optionee will recognize ordinary income at the time of disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lower of the fair market value of the stock at the date of the option exercise or the sale price of the stock. The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee on a disqualifying disposition.

      The optionee also will recognize capital gain or loss (long or short-term, depending on the length of time the stock was held) on such disqualifying disposition in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized by the optionee upon such disqualifying disposition of the stock and (ii) the exercise price, increased by the total amount of ordinary income, if any, recognized by the optionee upon such disqualifying disposition (as described in the second sentence of the preceding paragraph.)

      Non-Qualified Stock Options. An optionee generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of a non-qualified stock option. Upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, an optionee generally will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes equal to the excess, if any, of the then fair market value of the shares over the exercise price.

      The Company will generally be entitled to a tax deduction to the extent and in the year that ordinary income is recognized by the exercising optionee.

      Upon a sale of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, any difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise will be treated as capital gain or loss (long or short-term, depending on the length of time the stock was held).

      Restricted Shares; Additional Shares. The federal income tax treatment of individuals who receive property in connection with the performance of services is governed by Section 83 of the Code. That section requires that the recipient of the property recognize income from the transfer in an amount equal

29

Table of Contents

      Under the Equity Incentive Plan, employees will not pay any consideration for stock transferred to them as restricted shares or additional shares. Because additional shares are granted to a recipient without restrictions, the recipient will recognize ordinary income (calculated as described in the preceding paragraph) in the recipient’s taxable year in which the additional shares are granted. Because restricted shares are granted subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, then (unless an election is made under Section 83(b) of the Code, as described in the next paragraph), recipients of restricted shares will recognize taxable income as of each date on which they become vested in restricted shares in the amount of the fair market value of the shares then vesting.

      If stock is granted subject to restrictions, employees may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to report as taxable income in the year of award an amount of ordinary income equal to the stock’s fair market value at the time of the award. If such an election is made, the employee is not required thereafter to report any further compensation income upon becoming vested in the stock covered by the election. Such an election must be made within 30 days of receipt of the stock. Such election may not be revoked except with the consent of the Internal Revenue Service. Employees making this election will be subject to withholding with respect to the taxable income they recognize at the time the stock is awarded to them.

      The Company will generally be entitled to a tax deduction to the extent and in the year that ordinary income is recognized by the employee.

      Employees will recognize gain upon the disposition of stock equal to the excess of (a) the amount realized on such disposition over (b) the ordinary income recognized with respect to the stock under the principles set forth above. That gain will be taxed as long or short-term capital gain, depending on the length of time the stock was held.

      If an employee disposes of his or her stock for an amount less than the amount of ordinary income recognized with respect to the stock, he or she will generally recognize a capital loss (long or short-term, depending on the length of time the stock was held) equal to the difference between any ordinary income recognized with respect to the stock under the principles described previously and the amount realized upon disposition of the stock. If an employee forfeits unvested stock with respect to which a Section 83(b) election has been made upon termination of employment, he or she will generally recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount, if any, paid by the employee for the stock and the amount received as a result of the forfeiture, but no loss or deduction is allowed with respect to the amount previously included in income as a result of the Section 83(b) election.

      SARs. Recipients of SARs generally should not recognize income until such rights are exercised. Upon exercise, the employee will normally recognize ordinary compensation income for federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of cash and the fair market value of stock, if any, received upon such exercise. Employees will be subject to withholding with respect to income recognized upon exercise of an SAR.

Table of Contents

      The Company will generally be entitled to a tax deduction to the extent and in the year that ordinary income is recognized by the employee.

      Under new Section 409A of the Code, enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, SARs may be considered to provide deferred compensation and, if the Plan does not satisfy certain requirements, recipients of SARs would be required to recognize income at the time the SAR becomes vested, even if the SAR had not been exercised. The income would be ordinary compensation income equal to the difference between the fair market value of the stock on the vesting date less the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, together with interest and a 20% additional tax.

      Under initial guidance issued by the Department of Treasury, a SAR will not be considered to provide deferred compensation if: (i) the fair market value of the SAR is based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant; (ii) the underlying stock is publicly traded; (iii) the SAR can only be settled in stock; and (iv) the SAR does not contain any feature providing for the deferral of compensation upon exercise. The Plan currently provides that a stand-alone SAR may be settled in cash or stock and does not comply in form with the initial Treasury guidance. The Company does not intend to issue SARs to any employee until further guidance is issued clarifying the tax treatment of SARs.

      Performance and Restricted Share Unit Awards. An employee generally will recognize no income upon the grant of a performance share, performance units or restricted share units award. Upon the settlement of such awards, employees normally will recognize ordinary income in the year of receipt in an amount equal to the cash received and the fair market value of any non-restricted shares received. Such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of any shares received, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the vesting date, will be taxed as capital gain or loss.

      The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the employee on the vesting date.

Additional Information Regarding New Plan Benefits

      Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan are based on the Company’s performance. Accordingly, future awards under the Plan are not determinable at this time. Reference is made to the tables captioned “Summary Compensation Table”, “Option Grants in 2004”, “Option Exercises During 2004 and Year-End Option Values” at pages 15 through 18 of this proxy statement for detailed information on awards and exercises of awards by certain executive officers under the 1996 Performance Incentive Plan during the three most recent fiscal years.

Market Price of the Common Stock

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The Company has no equity compensation plan that has not been approved by the stockholders.

Required Vote

      The proposal to approve the Equity Incentive Plan will be carried if it receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s Class B common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. For purposes of this stockholder vote, any shares that are the subject of a so-called “broker non-vote” will not be considered present, but any shares for which an abstention is registered will be considered present. In other words, any broker non-vote on the proposal will have no effect on the outcome of the vote, while any abstention registered with respect to the proposal will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the proposal.

Relationship with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Code is intended to help us recognize and deal with ethical issues, deter wrongdoing, provide mechanisms to report dishonest or unethical conduct and help foster a culture of honesty and accountability as we collectively work to achieve our vision as the world’s best staffing services company. Each of us has a personal responsibility to comply with both the letter and the spirit of this Code.

      No code or policy can anticipate every situation that may arise. This Code is intended to serve as a guide. Employees are encouraged to ask their manager questions about particular circumstances that may involve the provisions of this Code. Employees also may present their questions to the Head of Internal Audit or the General Counsel, who may consult outside legal counsel as appropriate.

Conflict of Interest

      A “conflict of interest” occurs when our individual private interests interfere, or appear to interfere, in any way with the interests of the Company. Each of us must avoid conflicts of interest with the Company. Any situation that involves, or may reasonably be expected to involve, a conflict of interest with the Company must be disclosed immediately to the Head of Internal Audit or the General Counsel.

      This Code does not attempt to describe all possible conflicts of interest which could develop. Some of the more common conflicts from which we should refrain, are:

Section 1 — Purposes

      This KELLY SERVICES, INC. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for long-term incentive stock-related compensation to selected key employees of the Company or an Affiliated Entity for their contributions to the Company’s growth and profitability. Such compensation is intended to help the Company attract and retain superior employees, and it gives those employees shared financial interests with the Company’s stockholders that are believed to positively affect their job performance.

Section 2 — Definitions and Rules of Construction

      (a) The terms in quotation marks below have the following meanings under the Plan:

C-2

Table of Contents

      (b) References in this Plan to the “issuance” of shares, to shares “issued” or “issuable,” and the like, include transfers of treasury shares as well as new issuances of authorized but previously unissued shares.

Section 3 — Administration

      (a) General. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, subject to the express limitations set forth in the Plan. The Committee may, by majority vote, grant Awards and determine the type, amount and other terms and conditions of each Award. The Committee shall have authority to prescribe the forms of written agreements to evidence Awards, to interpret the Plan and the provisions of such agreements, to adopt administrative rules and procedures concerning administration of the Plan and to take such other action as it determines to be necessary, advisable, appropriate or convenient for the administration of the Plan in accordance with its purposes.

      The Committee may delegate to the chief executive officer of the Company, if also a director, some or all of its authority to grant Awards under the Plan to Employees who are not Section 16 Reporting Persons or Senior Vice Presidents or officers of higher rank, in which case actions taken by the chief executive officer pursuant to such delegated authority shall have the same effect as if taken by the Committee. The chief executive officer shall periodically notify the Committee of any grants made pursuant to such delegation of authority.

      The Committee may delegate performance of recordkeeping and other ministerial functions concerning the Plan and its day-to-day operations to such persons as it may specify from time to time.

      (b) Repricing. Absent stockholder approval, neither the Committee nor the Board shall approve a program providing for either (i) the cancellation of outstanding Options and/or SARs and the grant in substitution therefore of new Options and/or SARs having a lower exercise price or (ii) the amendment of outstanding Options and/or SARs to reduce the exercise price thereof. This paragraph shall not be construed to apply to “issuing or assuming a stock option in a transaction to which section 424(a) applies,” within the meaning of Code Section 424.

C-3

Table of Contents

Section 4 — Eligibility for Awards; No Requirement of Uniformity

      Any type of Award may be granted to any Employee at any time, except that Foreign Awards may be granted only as permitted under Section 10 of the Plan. The type, amount, timing and other terms and conditions of Awards made to a grantee need not be uniform, comparable or proportionate among grantees.

Section 5 — Maximum Number of Shares; Award Limits

      (a) Maximum Number of Shares. For purposes of this section, “Affected Shares” are shares of Company Stock that have been issued as Restricted Shares or Units, Performance Shares or Units, Additional Shares or similar Foreign Awards or that have been made subject to future issuance in settlement of Options (whether or not with related SARs), Share Units or Foreign Awards. For a given date, the “Adjustment Period” comprises the Company’s current fiscal year to date, plus its four immediately preceding fiscal years.

      The total number of Affected Shares shall never exceed 10% of the number of outstanding shares of Company Stock (exclusive of treasury shares) at the end of the immediately preceding Company fiscal year (rounded downward, if necessary to eliminate fractional shares),

      Stock options, SARs and other equity-based awards assumed by the Company in a merger or acquisition of another company shall not count against the shares available for Award under the Plan.

      (b) Award Limits. The number of shares covered by outstanding ISOs plus the number of shares issued in settlement of exercised ISOs under this Plan may not exceed 4,000,000 shares.

C-4

Table of Contents

Section 6 — Options

      (a) Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options. At the time of the grant of an Option, the Committee shall specify whether it is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option, and the agreement evidencing such Option shall designate the Option accordingly. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the grantee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000 (or such other amount as permitted by Code Section 422(d)) such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), ISOs shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Committee may prescribe such terms and conditions for an ISO grant, other than those specified in the Plan, as it deems desirable to qualify the Option as an incentive stock option under the Code. If an Option (or any portion thereof) intended by the Committee to be an ISO fails to qualify as an ISO, either at the time of grant or subsequently, such failure to qualify shall not invalidate the Option (or such portion), and instead the nonqualified portion (or, if necessary, the entire Option) shall be deemed to have been granted as a Nonqualified Stock Option regardless of its designation in the grant and in the Option agreement.

      (b) Number of Shares. The number of shares subject to an Option shall be specified at the time of grant. The maximum number of shares that may be granted as Options (whether or not in tandem with SARs) during any consecutive five calendar years to any single Employee shall be 750,000, subject to adjustment under Section 14 of the Plan.

      (c) Exercisability. The time at which any portion of an Option first becomes exercisable (which may be at or after the date of grant) and the latest date on which the Option may be exercised (the “expiration date”) shall be as specified at the time of grant. However, the expiration date for any ISO granted to an Over-10% Owner may be no later than five years after the grant, and the expiration date for any other Option may be no later than ten years after the date of grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any portion of an Option or provide for automatic acceleration of exercisability of any portion of an Option upon the occurrence of such events as it may specify, such as upon the death or Disability of a grantee. However, no acceleration of exercisability of any portion of an ISO shall be effective without the consent of the Option holder if such acceleration would cause the ISO or any other ISO of such holder (or any portion thereof) to become a Nonqualified Stock Option. During the lifetime of the grantee of an Option, the Option may be exercised only by the grantee or the grantee’s legal representative.

      (d) Exercise Price. Unless a higher price is specified at the time of grant, the per share exercise price of each Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date of grant, except that the per share exercise price of any ISO granted to an Over-10% Owner shall be at least 110% of such Fair Market Value on the grant date.

      (e) Exercise Procedures and Payment. The holder of an exercisable Option (or Option portion) may exercise it in whole or in part by complying with such procedures for exercise as are then in effect and tendering payment in full of the aggregate exercise price for the number of shares in respect of which the Option is then being exercised. Except to the extent further restricted or limited at the time of grant, payment may be made (1) entirely in cash; (2) by delivery of whole shares of Company Stock owned by the Option holder for more than six months on the date of surrender; (3) pursuant to a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; or (4) by any combination of the

C-5

      (f) Effect of Employment Termination. The Committee shall determine the disposition of the grant of each Option in the event of the disability, death or other termination of employment of an Employee.

      (g) Restoration Options. Subject to the provisions below, the Committee may provide that an Option shall also carry with it a right to receive another Option (a “Restoration Option”) in certain circumstances. A Restoration Option may be created at the time of grant of an Option (for purposes of this paragraph, an “original Option”) that is not itself a Restoration Option at the time a Restoration Option arises (so as to provide a subsequent Restoration Option to it), or at any other time while the grantee continues to be eligible for Awards and the original or Restoration Option (the “prior Option”) is outstanding. In addition to any other terms and conditions (including additional limitations on exercisability) that the Committee deems appropriate, each Restoration Option shall be subject to the following:

Section 7 — Stock Appreciation Rights

      (a) Types of SARs Authorized. SARs may be granted in tandem with all or any portion of a related Option (a “Tandem SAR”) or may be granted independently of any Option (a “Stand-Alone SAR”). A Tandem SAR may be granted either concurrently with the grant of the related Option or at any time thereafter prior to the complete exercise, termination, expiration or cancellation of such related Option.

      (b) Exercise Price. The exercise price for each SAR shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (i) the exercise price per share subject to a Tandem SAR shall be

C-6

Table of Contents

      (c) Exercisability and Termination.

      (d) Exercise Procedures and Settlement Elections. Exercisable SARs may be exercised at any time in accordance with such exercise procedures as are then in effect. Except to the extent further restricted at the time of grant, at or prior to exercise of SARs, the holder may elect to have the exercised SARs settled (1) entirely in cash, (2) to the extent possible, in whole shares of Company Stock and the balance in cash, or (3) partially in cash in an amount specified by the holder and the balance in whole shares of Company Stock plus cash in lieu of any fractional share. If no election is made, the SARs shall be settled in any of the foregoing manners as the Committee shall determine. For purposes of settlement, shares of Company Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the settlement date.

      (e) Effect of Termination of Employment. A SAR shall be exercisable after a grantee’s termination of employment to the extent and during such period as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and as set forth in the Award agreement evidencing such SAR.

Section 8 — Restricted Awards

      (a) General. Awards of Restricted Shares are awards of actual Company Stock, while Awards of Restricted Share Units are awards that may consist of Company Stock, cash equivalents of Company

C-7

Table of Contents

      (b) Restriction Period. At the time of grant of a Restricted Award, the Committee shall establish a period of no less than twelve months with respect to such Restricted Award, which period (the “restriction period”) shall commence on the date of grant. The Committee may provide for such restriction period to lapse in installments. The Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of a Restricted Award as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the Committee may require, as a condition to the vesting of any Restricted Award, that the grantee or the Company achieves such performance goals as the Committee may specify. If a Restricted Award is intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), all requirements set forth in Section 9B must be satisfied in order for a grantee to be entitled to payment.

      (c) Vesting and Forfeiture. If the grantee of a Restricted Award remains an Employee throughout the applicable restriction period, and any other conditions imposed by the Committee are satisfied, the entire Restricted Award shall become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture at the end of the restriction period. If the grantee ceases to be an Employee during the restriction period due to death or Disability, the Award shall be vested in proportion to the then elapsed portion of the restriction period, and the remainder of such Award shall be forfeited, unless the Committee determines to waive such forfeiture in whole or in part, and vest those Shares or Units. If the grantee otherwise ceases to be an Employee during the restriction period, the Committee shall determine the disposition of the Award.

      (d) Restricted Share Certificates and Dividends or Distributions. Restricted Shares shall be issued to the grantee as promptly as practicable after the grant, but the certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall bear an appropriate legend and shall be held by the Company. Non-cash dividends or other distributions upon Restricted Shares shall be retained and held by the Company, pending vesting or forfeiture of the Restricted Shares. Such retained non-cash dividends and other distributions shall be vested or forfeited, as the case may be, upon the vesting or forfeiture of such Restricted Shares. Non-cash dividends and other distributions that vest shall be distributed to the grantee of the Restricted Shares as promptly as practicable after the vesting date. The grantee of Restricted Shares shall be entitled to receive any cash dividends paid with respect to such Shares during the restriction period.

      (e) Settlement of Restricted Share Units. An Award of Restricted Share Units that vests shall be settled in cash, whole shares of Company Stock (valued at Fair Market Value as of the settlement date), or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine. The mode of settlement shall not violate the Plan’s limitations on available shares or any limitations imposed by the Committee at the time of grant of the Award or at any other time while the Award is unvested and the grantee is still an Employee. Restricted Share Units that vest shall be settled in full as soon as practicable after the vesting date, and no later than two and one-half months after the calendar year in which vesting occurs.

Section 9A — Performance Awards and Additional Shares in General

      (a) Performance Period and Goals. At the time of grant of a Performance Award, the Committee shall establish a performance period with respect to such Performance Award of not less than one year nor more than five years. If the Award is granted during the first fiscal quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, the performance period will commence on the first day of that fiscal year. Otherwise, the

C-8

Table of Contents

      (b) Performance Assessment, Vesting and Forfeiture. As soon as practicable after the end of the performance period for a Performance Award, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the performance goals for that Award were attained. If the Committee determines that the performance goals have been fully attained, and if the grantee of the Performance Award has remained an Employee throughout the performance period, the entire Performance Award shall become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture. If the grantee has remained an Employee throughout the performance period but the Committee determines that the performance goals were unmet or only partially met, the Committee nevertheless may permit vesting of all or a portion of the Performance Award, with the remainder of the Award to be forfeited. If the grantee ceases to be an Employee during the performance period, the consequences shall be the same, adjusted by a performance factor as determined by the Committee, as if the Performance Award had been a Restricted Award and the performance period a restriction period.

      (c) Additional Shares. At the end of the performance period, the Committee may recommend a grant of Additional Shares to the grantee of a Performance Award if the grantee is then an Employee and the Committee determines that satisfaction of the performance goals so warrants. Additional Shares awarded to a grantee shall be immediately vested and shall be issued to the grantee as soon as practicable after the grant.

      (d) Other Matters. The provisions of Section 8(d) of the Plan shall also apply to Performance Shares, and the provisions of Section 8(e) shall also apply to Performance Share Units. The Committee may make interim grants of Awards to new Employees in a fair and equitable manner.

Section 9B — Performance Awards to Named Executive Officers

      (a) Special Provisions Applicable. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan, the provisions of this Section 9B shall apply to all Performance Awards granted to Named Executive Officers. Such Performance Awards are intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” that are not subject to the tax deduction limit imposed by Section 162(m). Except as superseded by this Section 9B, all provisions of the Plan applicable to Performance Awards shall also apply to such Awards granted to Named Executive Officers.

      (b) Timing of Grants. Performance Awards may be granted to Named Executive Officers only during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year.

      (c) Limits on Award Amounts. Subject to the general limits on Award amounts set forth in Section 5(b), the general limit on the number of Options that may be granted in any five year period under Section 6(b), and the adjustment provisions of Section 14:

C-9

Table of Contents

      (d) Performance Objectives and Payout Schedules. At or prior to the grant of each Performance Award to a Named Executive Officer, the Committee shall establish one or more objectively determinable performance goals for the Award relating to one or more or any combination of the following areas of Company or other business unit performance over the relevant performance period:

At the same time, the Committee shall establish a payout schedule for the Performance Award, which shall range from 100 percent of the Performance Shares and/or Performance Share Units constituting the Award (if actual Company results for the performance period at least equal the performance goal(s) established) to zero percent of such Award (if actual Company results for the period do not at least equal a minimum amount or level specified by the Committee) and shall be structured so as to permit

C-10

Table of Contents

      (e) No Discretion to Increase Awards or Waive Forfeitures. The Committee may establish other preconditions to payout of a Performance Award to a Named Executive Officer, including preconditions that may call for subjective determinations by the Committee. The otherwise scheduled payout on any Performance Award granted to a Named Executive Officer may be reduced by the Committee to the extent it deems appropriate if, in the Committee’s judgment, the Named Executive Officer’s individual performance during the performance period has not warranted the scheduled payout. However, for so long as Section 162(m) may require, the payout on any Performance Award granted to a Named Executive Officer shall not exceed the payout permissible under the Award’s payout schedule, and no Additional Shares shall be granted to any Named Executive Officer.

      (f) Certification by Committee. As soon as practicable following the completion of the performance period applicable to a Performance Award, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the applicable performance goals have been attained and the resulting final value of the Award earned by the Named Executive Officer.

      (g) Effect of Employment Termination.

C-11

Table of Contents

Section 10 — Foreign Awards

      The Committee may modify the terms of any type of Award described in Section 6, 7, 8 or 9A of the Plan for grant to an Employee who is subject to tax or similar laws of a country other than the United States and may grant such modified Award, and structure and grant other types of awards related to appreciation in value of Company Stock, to such an Employee, as the Committee determines necessary or advisable in order to provide such grantee with benefits and incentives comparable (to the extent practically possible) to those which would be provided the grantee if the grantee were not subject to such foreign laws.

Section 11 — Other Stock-Based Awards

      The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Awards of Company Stock or Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, Company Stock (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine including, without limitation, the right to receive one or more shares of Company Stock (or the equivalent cash value of such shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event, the attainment of performance objectives and/or other criteria specified by the Committee. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made; the number of shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Company Stock or a combination of cash and Company Stock; and all other terms and conditions of such Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof.) If an Other Stock-Based Award is intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), all requirements in Section 9B must be satisfied in order for a grantee to be entitled to payment.

Section 12 — Certain Provisions Generally Applicable to Awards

      (a) Award Agreements. Each Award (other than any award of Additional Shares and any similar Foreign Award unless the Committee otherwise determines) shall be evidenced by a written agreement setting forth the type, amount and other terms and conditions of such Award, as are not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall have specified with respect to such Award.

      (b) Transfer Restrictions; Potential Forfeiture. No Option or SAR, no Other Stock-Based Award, no unvested Performance Award or Restricted Award, no Foreign Award similar to any of the foregoing, and none of the rights or privileges conferred by any such Award may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner whatsoever, except that, if the Committee determines that such transfer will not violate any requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Internal Revenue Service, the Committee may permit an intervivos transfer by gift to or for the benefit of a family member of the grantee. Any attempt to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any such Award or any of the rights and privileges conferred thereby contrary to the provisions of the Plan shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

      (c) Overriding Precondition; Potential Forfeiture. It shall be an overriding precondition to the vesting of each Performance Award, Restricted Award, Other Stock-Based Award, and similar Foreign

C-12

Table of Contents

      (d) Tax Withholding; Notice to Company of Certain Actions.

      Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to the settlement of an Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto.

      The Committee may provide, on request of a grantee, for withholding of otherwise issuable shares upon the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of Awards or for the tender of other shares of Company Stock owned by such grantee or holder in order to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of an Award. If the Committee grants such elections, it may condition, limit or qualify them in any manner it deems appropriate.

      If any grantee shall, in connection with the acquisition of shares of Company Stock under the Plan, make the election permitted under Code Section 83(b) (i.e., an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Code Section 83(b)), the grantee shall notify the Company of such election within ten days of filing notice with the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under the authority of Code Section 83(b).

      (e) Stockholder Status. The grantee of an Award, and other persons to whom the Award or the grantee’s rights thereunder may pass, shall have no rights or privileges of a holder of shares of Company Stock, in respect of any shares issuable pursuant to or in settlement of such Award, unless and until certificates representing such shares have been issued in their name(s).

Section 13 — No Right to Employment or Award

      No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award. The grant of an Award shall not confer upon any Employee a right with respect to continued employment by the Company or an Affiliated Entity. Further, the Company and each Affiliated Entity reaffirms its at-will employment relationship with its Employees and expressly reserves the right to dismiss a grantee at any time free from any liability or claim, except as provided under this Plan.

Section 14 — Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization

      In the event of a reorganization or recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, a stock-on-stock dividend or split, spin-off, reverse split or combination of Company Stock, a rights offering, or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the

Section 15 — Duration, Amendment, Suspension and Termination

      The Plan shall become effective upon approval by the Board, subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company, and shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated by the Board. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate any portion or all of the Plan at any time, but no such Board action shall adversely affect the rights of any grantee or other holder of any Award then outstanding or unvested without the consent of such grantee or holder, unless such amendment or termination is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan shall not be amended without the approval of the Company’s stockholders (a) to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Company Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of Section 14); (b) to change the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options; or (c) to make any other amendment that would require approval of the Company’s stockholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule.

Section 16 — Miscellaneous Provisions

      (a) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware.

      (b) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any grantee or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, grantee or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
