Amendment, Modification, and Termination. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part without the approval of the Company's shareholders, except to the extent the Board determines it is desirable to obtain approval of the Company's shareholders, to comply with the requirements for listing on any exchange where the Company's Shares are listed, or for any other purpose the Board deems appropriate.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend, alter or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no amendment which would amend or modify the Plan in a manner requiring stockholder approval under Code Section 423 or the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Shares are traded shall be effective unless, within one year after it is adopted by the Board, it is approved by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company's outstanding shares. In addition, the Committee (if appointed under Section 3.1) may amend the Plan as provided in [Section 3.3], subject to the conditions set forth therein and in this [Section 11.7].

Termination, Amendment and Modification. At any time and from time to time, the Board may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan. Such amendment or modification may be without shareholder approval except to the extent that such approval is required by the Code, pursuant to the rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, by any national securities exchange or system on which the Stock is then listed or reported, by any regulatory body having jurisdiction with respect thereto or under any other applicable laws, rules or regulations.

Amendment and Termination of Plan. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 13, the Board may at any time and in any way amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. No amendment of the Plan and, except as provided in [Section 1.10], no action by the Board shall, without further approval of the stockholders of the Company, increase the total number of shares of Stock with respect to which awards may be made under the Plan, materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, if stockholder approval of such amendment is a condition of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 16b-3 or its successor rule or statute, the Code or any exchange or market system on which the Stock is listed at the time such amendment is adopted. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall alter or impair any Stock Option with or without tandem Stock Appreciation Right, Performance Award or share of Restricted Stock previously awarded under the Plan without the consent of the holder thereof.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for stockholder approval imposed by applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (or such other principal securities market on which the Shares are traded) provided that the Board may not amend the Plan in any manner that would result in noncompliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. In addition, no amendments to, or termination of, the Plan shall in any way impair the rights of a Participant under any Award previously granted without such Participant’s consent.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may at any time terminate, suspend or amend the Plan. The Company shall submit any amendment of the Plan to its shareholders for approval only to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or the rules of any securities exchange on which the Shares may then be listed. No termination, suspension, or amendment of the Plan may materially impair the rights of any Participant under a previously granted Award without the Participant’s consent, unless such action is necessary to comply with applicable law or stock exchange rules.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Committee may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for stockholder approval imposed by applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Shares are traded; provided that the Committee may not amend the Plan in any manner that would result in noncompliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act; and further provided that the Committee may not, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, amend the Plan to # increase the number of Shares that may be the subject of Awards under the Plan (except for adjustments pursuant to [Section 12.2]), # expand the types of awards available under the Plan, # materially expand the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan, # amend any provision of [Section 5.3], [Section 6.2(e)] or [Section 6.2(f)] (regarding changes in the exercise price of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights), # increase the maximum permissible term of any Option specified by [Section 5.4] or the maximum permissible term of a Stock Appreciation Right specified by [Section 6.2(e), or (f)])] increase the limitations set forth in [Section 10.6 or 10.7]7]. The Committee may not, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, take any other action with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities exchange on which the Shares are traded, including a reduction of the exercise price of an Option or the grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right or the exchange of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right for cash or another Award. In addition, no amendments to, or termination of, the Plan shall impair in any material respect the rights of a Participant under any Award previously granted without such Participant’s consent except as required to comply with applicable securities laws or Section 409A of the Code.

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate this Plan.
