To the extent required for transactions under the Plan to qualify for exemptions available under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act ("Rule 16b-3"), if the Board shall delegate its authority to the Committee then each member of the Committee will be a "Non-Employee Director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3. 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.
The Plan shall be administered by the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (herein called the “Committee”) each member of which shall be a “non-employee director” as provided under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and an “outside director” as provided under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Committee shall have the authority, consistent with the Plan:
"Committee" shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Company as appointed by the Board in accordance with Section 4 of the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee shall at all times consist solely of persons who, at the time of their appointment, each qualified as a "Non-Employee Director" under Rule 16b-3(b)(3)(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act and, to the extent that relief from the limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code is sought, as an "Outside Director" under [Section 1.162-27(e)(3)(i)])] of the Treasury Regulations.
