Amendment and Termination. The Board of Directors of the Company, acting through the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, but it may not adversely affect the rights of any Executive with respect to an Award already earned by an Executive. Any increase in the maximum total award for any calendar year for any Executive or for all Executives will require shareholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any material amendments (as defined under the NASDAQ Listing Rules) of the SDIP will require shareholder approval.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time, or from time to time, amend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall reduce Plan benefits which accrued prior to such amendment or termination without the prior written consent of each person entitled to receive benefits under the Plan who is adversely affected by such action; and, provided further, that the Plan shall not be amended more frequently than once every six months, other than to comply with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules promulgated thereunder.

Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by the parties to be bound thereby.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may at any time amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension, discontinuance or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant in respect of any Plan Year which has already commenced and no such action shall be effective without approval by the stockholders of the Company to the extent necessary to continue to qualify the amounts payable hereunder to Covered Employees as performance-based compensation under [Section 162(m)].

Modification. This Agreement may be modified, and the rights, remedies and obligations contained in any provision hereof may be waived, only in accordance with this Section. No waiver by either party or any breach by the other or any provision hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver of any later or other breach thereof or as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.
