To the extent required for compensation realized from the exercise of options issued under the Plan to be deductible by the Company or any of the Companies pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code, the members of said Committee will be "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof consisting solely of at least two individuals who are intended to qualify as "Non-Employee Directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Act (or any successor rule thereto) and, to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto), "outside directors" within the meaning thereof. In addition, the Committee may delegate the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to any employee or group of employees of the Company or an Affiliate; provided, that such grants are consistent with guidelines established by the Committee from time to time.
