Executive Compensation Program
      Our Executive Compensation Program
Our executive compensation program currently consists of three elements. Those elements are base salary, short-term incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation. These elements comprise virtually all of the compensation ofpaid to our executives.
 
Base Salary.  Each position in ourthe Company is assigned a job gradelevel based on the responsibilities of the position. For each job grade,level, a salary range is determined based on compensation surveys. An individual’s salary is determined by the person’s job gradelevel and individual performance. OurEach of our executive officers approveapproves the salarysalaries of each executivethe other executives in the executive officer’s business unit or department. The Chief Executive Officer approves the salaries of all other executive officers, and the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee approvesdetermines the salary of the Chief Executive Officer and ratifiesapproves the salaries of all other executive officers.
 
Short-term Incentive Compensation.  Each of the Company’s executive officerofficers participates in the Company’s Executive Performance Incentive Plan (EPIP)(“EPIP”). The EPIP was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and was implemented during the Company’s 2004 fiscal year. The EPIP is designed to encourage the achievement of ourthe Company’s objectives by rewarding executives when these objectives are met or exceeded.
For each fiscal 2005,year since the EPIP was implemented (including fiscal 2006), the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee has used a performance measure of the Company’s (or a business unit’s) return on net assets (“RONA”) in setting performance goals under the EPIP and determining the satisfaction of those goals. Since the implementation of the EPIP, the total bonus amounts payable to EPIP participants have consisted of a RONA component and an individual performance component.
At the beginning of the fiscal year, (i) a target bonus level wasis established for each executive officer eligible to participate in the EPIP. In addition,EPIP and (ii) a “threshold” return on net assets (“RONA”),RONA, a “target” RONA and a “maximum” RONA wasfor the fiscal year are established for each business unit and ourthe Company as a whole. The bonus for each of Messrs. Lanier, Setola and Chubb for each fiscal year since the EPIP was implemented has been based on the Company’s overall RONA, while the bonus paid to Mr. Margolis has been based on Tommy Bahama Group’s achievement of certain related performance-based goals. The bonus paid to Mr. O’Reilly for service during fiscal 2006 was based on the RONA for the Company’s Womenswear Group.
 
The applicable threshold RONA must be met before any bonus is earned.earned for the fiscal year. If a business unit’s or the Company’s RONA, as applicable, for the fiscal year equals or exceeds the applicable threshold RONA, and if other requirements of the bonus plan are met, eligible participants will earn a bonus. The bonus amount increases as the business unit’s or the Company’s RONA, as applicable, increases above the threshold RONA, up to the maximum RONA.
If the threshold RONA is met or exceeded, the bonus for the business unit may be adjusted upward or downward to reflect the business unit’s sales increase or decrease.

20

Each RONA level may be adjusted by up to plus or minus 25% for the applicable business unit’s sales increase or decrease from the prior year. Finally, if the threshold RONA is met or exceeded, an individualEPIP participant may receive an additional bonus amount based on his or her individual accomplishments.accomplishments and performance during the fiscal year. This individual performance elementbonus amount cannot exceed one hundred percent of the individual’samount earned by the participant for the RONA component of the participant’s bonus.

Long-term Incentive Compensation.  Prior to fiscal 2005, the Company’s long-term incentive compensation program generally consisted of annual grants of nonqualified stock options. ForBeginning in the second half of fiscal 2005 (following shareholder approval of the Company’s Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders), the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee implemented a new long-term incentive compensation program under that Plan. The Committee believes that this program will more closely align the interests of the Company’s executives with its shareholders, as well as assist in the attraction and retention of key executives.LTIP.
 
The newNominating, Compensation and Governance Committee has the discretion under the LTIP to determine the type and terms of awards under the LTIP. For fiscal 2006, the Company based long-term incentive compensation program is based on the issuance of “performance share awards.” Theseawards” for U.S. based employees and “restricted share unit awards” fornon-U.S. based employees. The performance share awards and restricted share unit awards provide recipients with the ability to earn shares of restricted stock or earn restricted share units based on the Company’s attainment of specified performance objectives during the performance period. The performance period for the initial grant of performance share awards (the “2005 Performance Share Awards”)fiscal 2006 was November 27, 2004June 4, 2005 through June 3, 2005.2, 2006. Each recipient was assigned a maximum number of shares of restricted stock or restricted share units that could be earned under the award, generally based on the recipient’s level of responsibility within the Company. Performance share awards and restricted share unit awards are forfeited if the recipient’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason before the end of the performance period, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee.
      Following For performance share awards and restricted share unit awards for the end of thefiscal 2006 performance period, the Committee determined the number of restricted shares or restricted share units earned by each recipient was based on the Company’s earnings per share (calculated after giving effect to certain accounting adjustments). Following the end of fiscal 2006, the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee determined that, based on the Company’s earnings per share performance actually attained byduring the Company. Restrictedperformance period, each of the performance share award and restricted share unit award recipients had earned 66.7 percent of the number of shares of restricted stock or restricted share units, as applicable, available under the recipient’s award at the target earnings per share level.
For U.S. based employees, restricted shares earned under the performance share awards become vested three years after the end of the performance period. The recipient forfeits the restricted shares if his or her employment with the Company terminates for any reason during the vesting period, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee. During the vesting period, the recipient is entitled to all voting rights and to all dividends paid in cash with respect to the restricted shares. Neither the performance

The Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee alsohas approved the grant of new awards for the performance period comprising the Company’s fiscal year ending June 1, 2007 (“fiscal 2007”). As was the case for fiscal 2006, the awards for fiscal 2007 consist of performance share awards (the “2006 Performance Share Awards”) for which the performance period is the 2006 fiscal year (June 4, 2005 through June 2, 2006).U.S. based employees and restricted share unit awards fornon-U.S. based employees.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE OXFORD INDUSTRIES, INC.
LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
(Proposal No. 2)
Proposed Amendment to the Oxford Industries, Inc. Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan
You are voting on a proposal to amend the Oxford Industries, Inc. Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Board of Directors voted to amend the Plan on August 3, 2006, subject to shareholder approval. The Plan was originally adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the Company’s shareholders in 2004.
The purpose of the amendment is to increase by an aggregate of 500,000 shares the Plan’s limit on the number of shares of common stock that could be transferred over the life of the Plan to Plan participants (i) free of a “substantial risk of forfeiture” in connection with grants of restricted shares under the Plan or (ii) in satisfaction of restricted share units awarded under the Plan. Under the proposed amendment, the limit would be increased from the current limit of 200,000 shares to a new limit of 700,000 shares.By way of clarification, this amendment would not increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for grant under the Plan.
The material features of the Plan are described below. A copy of the Plan, reflecting the amendment to give effect to the proposal, is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. By way of reference, the proposed amendment revises only the third sentence of Section 3(a) of the Plan.
Under the Plan, awards can be made in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and restricted share units. As of August 3, 2006, there were 2,651,259 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the Plan. However, the Plan, as previously approved, has a limit of 200,000 on the number of shares of common stock that can be transferred to Plan participants (i) free of a “substantial risk of forfeiture” in connection with grants of restricted shares under the Plan or (ii) in satisfaction of restricted share units awarded under the Plan. As a result, as of August 3, 2006, there remained only 81,871 shares of our common stock available under the Plan for new awards of restricted shares or restricted share units without the possibility of exceeding the Plan’s current limitation concerning such transfers. On August 3, 2006, the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee, subject to the approval by our shareholders of the proposed amendment

The aggregate number of restricted shares and restricted share units that could be issued from these fiscal 2007 awards would vary depending on the Company’s performance during fiscal 2007 and other factors; however, as a periodpoint of five years beginning June 2, 2000reference, if the Company achieves the target performance level for fiscal 2007, the aggregate number of shares that would be granted could be up to 71,850 shares and, ending Juneif the Company achieves the specified maximum performance level, the number of shares that would be granted could be up to 107,775.
Since the Plan went into effect, the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee has granted awards under the Plan exclusively in the form of restricted shares and restricted share units. The Board of Directors and the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee believe that granting awards under the Plan in the form of restricted shares and restricted share units has been in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and is consistent with recent trends in equity-based compensation. Specifically, the use of equity awards such as restricted shares and restricted share units that can both lose value and increase in value as our stock price may fall or rise aligns the interests of the Plan’s participants and the Company’s shareholders. Also, the Plan provides that grants of restricted shares and restricted share units may be made or become vested based upon the Company’s achievement of “performance objectives,” which further facilitates alignment of the interests of shareholders and Plan participants. Furthermore, because the Company will be required under generally accepted accounting principles to begin recording an expense charge in fiscal 2007 for stock options, the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee has determined that using restricted shares and restricted share units, instead of stock options or stock appreciation rights, may result in a lower overall charge for compensation expense. Additionally, the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee believes that the grant of awards under the Plan in the form of restricted shares and restricted share units (as opposed to grants of stock options or stock appreciation rights that are settled in shares of our common stock) is generally less dilutive to shareholders.
The Board of Directors and the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee believe that amending the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as it would permit the Company to continue to use restricted shares and restricted share units, as opposed to stock options and stock appreciation rights, for equity-based compensation under the Plan. If the amendment is approved by our shareholders, the Plan, as amended, will become effective as of August 3, 2005 of:2006. If the proposed amendment is approved, there will be an aggregate of 581,871 shares of our common stock still available to be transferred to Plan participants (i) free of a “substantial risk of forfeiture” in connection with grants of restricted shares under the Plan or (ii) in satisfaction of restricted share units awarded under the Plan, including those shares that may be granted pursuant to performance share awards and restricted share unit awards for fiscal 2007.

Any grant may specify a waiting period before the stock appreciation rights may become exercisable and permissible dates or periods on or during which the stock appreciation rights are exercisable. Each grant of a stock appreciation right must specify the period of continuous employment of the participant by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is necessary before the stock appreciation right or installments thereof may be exercisable.
Terms of Restricted Share Awards under the Plan.  The Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee may authorize grants to participants of restricted shares. An award of restricted shares involves the immediate transfer by the Company to a participant of ownership of a specific number of shares in return for the performance of services. The participant is entitled immediately to voting, dividend and other ownership rights in such shares, subject to the discretion of the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee. The transfer may be made without additional consideration from the participant. The Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee may specify performance objectives that must be achieved for the restrictions to lapse or for the restricted shares to be granted. Restricted shares may be subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code for a period to be determined by the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee on the grant date, and any grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination of such risk of forfeiture in the event of a change of control of the Company or a similar event.

If, by the end of the performance period, the specified performance objectives are satisfied, the participant will be deemed to have fully earned the restricted share units. If the specified performance objectives are not achieved, the participant may be deemed to have partly earned the restricted share units in accordance with a pre-determined formula. To the extent earned, the restricted share units will be paid to the participant at the time and in the manner determined by the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee in (i) cash, (ii) shares of our common stock or (iii) any combination thereof. Any grant of restricted share units may provide for the payment to the participant of dividend equivalents in cash or in additional shares of stock on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

Section 162(m) Exemption.  Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code prevents a publicly held corporation from claiming tax deductions for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to certain of its senior executives. Compensation is exempt from this limitation if it is “qualified performance-based compensation.” Stock was filedoptions and stock appreciation rights are two examples of performance-based compensation. Other types of awards, such as restricted shares and restricted share units that are granted pursuant to pre-established objective performance formulas, may also qualify as performance-based compensation, so long as certain requirements are met, including the prior approval by shareholders of the performance formulas or measures. Although the Plan sets forth a list of objective performance measures on November 5, 2004.which such awards may be based, the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee has discretion to establish targets or numerical goals based on these measures.
Performance Objectives.  The Plan provides that grants of restricted shares and restricted share units may be made or become vested based upon “performance objectives.” The Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee has the authority to determine what performance objectives will be used for a specific award. Performance objectives may be described in terms of either Company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of the individual participant or a subsidiary, division, department or function within the Company or a subsidiary in which the participant is employed. Except in the case of an award intended to qualify under Section 162(m), if the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee determines that a change in the business, operation, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render the performance objectives unsuitable, the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee may modify the performance objectives, or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee deems equitable or appropriate.
Transferability.  Except as provided below, no award under the Plan may be transferred by a participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and stock options and stock appreciation rights may be exercised during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant or, in the event of the participant’s legal incapacity, the guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the participant. The Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee may expressly provide in an award agreement (other than an incentive stock option award agreement) that the participant may transfer the option to a spouse or lineal descendant, a trust for the exclusive benefit of such family members, a partnership or other entity in which all the beneficial owners are such family members or any other entity affiliated with the participant that the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee may approve.
Termination.  The Plan will remain in effect until terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors. Incentive stock options may not be granted under the Plan after July 27, 2014.
Amendments.  The Plan may be amended from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors, but, without further approval by the shareholders of the Company, no such amendment may increase the limitations set forth in the Plan on the number of shares underlying certain types of awards, or on the number of shares that may be granted or issued in the aggregate, or to individual participants during any given time period, under the Plan.

(b) Any grant may specify that the amount payable upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee on the Grant Date.
(c) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement delivered to and accepted by the Optionee, which shall describe the subject Stock Appreciation Rights, state that the Stock Appreciation Rights are subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and contain such other terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan.

(f) Each grant shall specify the period or periods of continuous employment of the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary that are necessary before the Stock Appreciation Rights or installments thereof shall become exercisable, as well as the permissible dates or periods on or during which Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable. Any grant may provide for the earlier exercise of such rights in the event of a change in control of the Company or other similar transaction or event.
7. Restricted Shares.  The Committee may also authorize grants to Participants of one or more Restricted Shares upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Each grant shall constitute an immediate transfer of the ownership of Shares to the Participant in consideration of the performance of services.
(b) Each grant may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.
(c) Each grant may provide that the Restricted Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code for a period to be determined by the Committee on the Grant Date, and any grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination of such risk of forfeiture in the event of a change in control of the Company or other similar transaction or event.
(d) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an award of Restricted Shares shall entitle the Participant to dividend, voting and other ownership rights, during the period for which such substantial risk of forfeiture is to continue.


A-4

(e) Each grant shall provide that, during the period for which such substantial risk of forfeiture is to continue, the transferability of the Restricted Shares shall be prohibited or restricted in the manner and to the extent prescribed by the Committee on the Grant Date. Such restrictions may include, without limitation, rights of repurchase or first refusal in the Company or provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares to a continuing substantial risk of forfeiture in the hands of any transferee.
(f) Any grant or the vesting thereof may be conditioned upon or further conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Objectives during a Performance Period as established by the Committee.
(g) Any grant may require that any or all dividends or other distributions paid on the Restricted Shares during the period of such restrictions be automatically sequestered and reinvested on an immediate or deferred basis in additional Shares, which may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Award or such other restrictions as the Committee may determine.
(h) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement delivered to and accepted by the Participant and containing such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, all certificates representing Restricted Shares, together with a stock power that shall be endorsed in blank by the Participant with respect to such Shares, shall be held in custody by the Company until all restrictions thereon lapse.
8. Restricted Share Units.  The Committee may also authorize grants of Restricted Share Units, which shall become payable to the Participant upon the achievement of specified Performance Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Each grant shall specify the number of Restricted Share Units to which it pertains, which may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors.
(b) The Performance Period with respect to each Restricted Share Unit shall commence on the Grant Date and may be subject to earlier termination in the event of a change in control of the Company or other similar transaction or event.
(c) Each grant shall specify the Performance Objectives that are to be achieved by the Participant.
(d) Each grant may specify in respect of the specified Performance Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above such minimum acceptable level but falls short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance Objectives.
(e) Each grant shall specify the time and manner of payment of Restricted Share Units that shall have been earned, and any grant may specify that any such amount may be paid by the Company in cash, Shares or any combination thereof and may either grant to the Participant or reserve to the Committee the right to elect among those alternatives.
(f) Any grant of Restricted Share Units may specify that the amount payable, or the number of Shares issued, with respect thereto may not exceed maximums specified by the Committee on the Grant Date.
(g) Any grant of Restricted Share Units may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or additional Shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis.
(h) If provided in the terms of the grant, the Committee may adjust Performance Objectives and the related minimum acceptable level of achievement if, in the sole judgment of the Committee, events or


A-5

transactions have occurred after the Grant Date that are unrelated to the performance of the Participant and result in distortion of the Performance Objectives or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement.
(i) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement delivered to and accepted by the Participant, which shall state that the Restricted Share Units are subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and such other terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan.
9. Transferability.
(a) Except as provided in Section 9(b), no Award granted under this Plan shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable during a Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s legal incapacity, by his guardian or legal representative acting in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of the Participant under state law. Any attempt to transfer an Award in violation of this Plan shall render such Award null and void.
(b) The Committee may expressly provide in an Award agreement (or an amendment to an Award agreement) that a Participant may transfer such Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option), in whole or in part, to a spouse or lineal descendant (a Family Member), a trust for the exclusive benefit of Family Members, a partnership or other entity in which all the beneficial owners are Family Members, or any other entity affiliated with the Participant that may be approved by the Committee. Subsequent transfers of Awards shall be prohibited except in accordance with this Section 9(b). All terms and conditions of the Award, including provisions relating to the termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary, shall continue to apply following a transfer made in accordance with this Section 9(b).
(c) Any Award made under this Plan may provide that all or any part of the Shares that are (i) to be issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or upon payment under any grant of Restricted Share Units, or (ii) no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 7 of this Plan, shall be subject to further restrictions upon transfer.
10. Adjustments.  The Committee may make or provide for such adjustments in the (a) number of Shares covered by outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units granted hereunder, (b) prices per share applicable to such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, and (c) kind of Shares covered thereby, as the Committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that otherwise would result from (x) any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of Shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, (y) any merger, consolidation, spin — off, spin — out, split — off, split — up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets (other than a normal cash dividend), issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or (z) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under this Plan such alternative consideration as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced. The Committee may also make or provide for such adjustments in the number of Shares specified in Section 3 of this Plan as the Committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be appropriate in order to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 10.
11. Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not issue any fractional Shares pursuant to this Plan and shall settle any such fractional Shares in cash.
12. Withholding Taxes.  To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under this Plan, it


A-6

shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of all such taxes required to be withheld. At the discretion of the Committee, such arrangements may include relinquishment of a portion of such benefit.
13. Certain Terminations of Employment, Hardship and Approved Leaves of Absence.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event of termination of employment by reason of death, disability, normal retirement, early retirement with the consent of the Company or leave of absence approved by the Company, or in the event of hardship or other special circumstances, of a Participant who holds an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is not immediately and fully exercisable, any Restricted Shares as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, any Restricted Share Units that have not been fully earned, or any Shares that are subject to any transfer restriction pursuant to Section 9(c) of this Plan, the Committee may in its sole discretion take any action that it deems to be equitable under the circumstances or in the best interests of the Company, including, without limitation, waiving or modifying any limitation or requirement with respect to any Award under this Plan.
14. Foreign Employees.  In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, or who are employed by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of the United States of America, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, provided that no such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as then in effect, unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the Stockholders of the Company.
15. Amendments and Other Matters.
(a) This Plan may be amended from time to time by the Board, but no such amendment shall increase any of the limitations specified in Section 3 of this Plan, other than to reflect an adjustment made in accordance with Section 10, without the further approval of the Stockholders of the Company.
(b) The Committee shall not re-price any Option granted under the Plan except with the approval of the affirmative vote of the majority of Shares voting at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders.
(c) This Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not interfere in any way with any right that the Company or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate any Participant’s employment or other service at any time.
(d) To the extent that any provision of this Plan would prevent any Option that was intended to qualify under particular provisions of the Code from so qualifying, such provision of this Plan shall be null and void with respect to such Option, provided that such provision shall remain in effect with respect to other Options, and there shall be no further effect on any provision of this Plan.
16. Effective Date and Stockholder Approval.  This Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the Board, subject to approval by the Stockholders of the Company at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Committee may grant Awards subject to the condition that this Plan shall have been approved by the Stockholders of the Company.
17. Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of this Plan and any Award hereunder will be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.
