Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan (and the Committee may amend or modify an Award Agreement) for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by applicable law, except that # no amendment or alteration that would materially adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall be made without the consent of such Participant and # no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is otherwise required by applicable legal requirements or the requirements of the securities exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed, including any amendment that expands the types of Awards available under this Plan, materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under this Plan, materially expands the classes of persons eligible for Awards under this Plan, materially extends the term of this Plan, materially changes the method of determining the Exercise Price of Options or strike price of SARs, deletes or limits any provisions of this Plan that prohibit the repricing of Options or SARs. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, this Plan shall not be amended or terminated in such manner that would cause this Plan or any amounts or benefits payable hereunder to fail to comply with or be exempt from [Section 409A], and any such amendment or termination that may reasonably be expected to result in such failure shall be of no force or effect.

Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board or the Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that # no amendment or alteration that would materially adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall be made without the consent of such Participant and # no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is otherwise required by applicable legal requirements or the requirements of any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may cause an Option or SAR to be repriced, replaced, regranted through cancellation or modified without stockholder approval (except in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization as provided in paragraph 13), if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the exercise price for the shares underlying such Option or SAR.

Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan without the consent of the Company’s stockholders or Participants (including with retroactive effect), except that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders if # such action would increase the number of shares subject to the Plan, # such action results in the replacement or repurchase of any Option or SAR, or # such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted, in each case, except as provided in Section 15.1. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto (including with retroactive effect).

Amendments. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, including, without limitation, the number of shares subject to Awards granted pursuant to Sections 6, 7 and 100], without the consent of any stockholder, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of any Award, or other person; provided, however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without # stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market or # the consent of the affected Participants, if such action would adversely affect the rights of such Participants under any outstanding Award; and provided further, that no such amendment or alteration shall increase the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan or increase the total value of Awards that may be granted in any given Year, in each case except as provided in Section 5(d). In addition, any such amendment shall be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Administrator may modify any outstanding Awards to comply with Section 409A without consent from Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be made that would # permit Options or SARs to be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant thereof or # except as provided in [Section 5(d), (w)] reduce the exercise price of any Option or SAR established at the time of grant thereof, # be treated as a repricing under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), # cancel an Option or SAR in exchange for another Option, SAR, restricted stock unit or any other Award, or # terminate an Option or SAR in exchange for a cash amount equal to or greater than the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares on the date of cancellation over the exercise price times the number of Shares outstanding under the Award. A cancellation and exchange described in [clause (y)] of the immediately preceding sentence is prohibited regardless of whether the option, SAR, restricted stock unit or other equity is delivered simultaneously with the cancellation and regardless of whether the cancellation and exchange are treated as a repricing under GAAP or are voluntary on the part of the Participant.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if: # such approval is necessary to comply with any regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or regulations of the NYSE or any other securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company may be listed or quoted) or for changes in GAAP to new accounting standards; # it would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan (except for increases pursuant to Section 5 or 12 of the Plan); # it would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan; # it would reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR; # it would result in the Committee canceling an outstanding Option or SAR and replacing it with a new Option or SAR (with a lower Exercise Price or Strike Price, as the case may be) or other Award or cash payment that is greater than the intrinsic value (if any) of the cancelled Option or SAR or # it would result in the Committee taking any other action which is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the NYSE or any other securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted; provided further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Award shall not be effective without the consent of the affected Participant.

Section # Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards under this Plan without the consent of the Company’s stockholders; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, # increase the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan, # expand the types of Awards under the Plan, # materially expand the class of individuals eligible to participate in the Plan, # materially extend the term of the Plan, or # otherwise constitute a material change requirement stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of the national securities exchange on which the shares of Stock are then listed, then such amendment will be subject to stockholder approval; and provided further, that the Board may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of the Company’s stockholders for any reason. No Board action under this [Section 3.11] may materially and adversely affect the rights of a Participant under any outstanding Award held by such Participant immediately prior to the effective time of such Board action.

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 stockholders 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 of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time provided that # neither Section 5(g) nor 6(e) requiring stockholder approval of any option or SAR repricing may be amended without stockholder approval; # no amendment that would require stockholder approval under the rules of the national securities exchange on which the Company then maintains its primary listing may be made effective unless and until the Company’s stockholders approve such amendment; and # if the national securities exchange on which the Company then maintains its primary listing does not have rules regarding when stockholder approval of amendments to equity compensation plans is required (or if the Company’s Common Stock is not then listed on any national securities exchange), then no amendment to the Plan # materially increasing the number of shares authorized under the Plan (other than pursuant to [Section 4(c) or 10]), # expanding the types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan, or # materially expanding the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan shall be effective unless and until the Company’s stockholders approve such amendment. In addition, if at any time the approval of the Company’s stockholders is required as to any other modification or amendment under Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the Board may not effect such modification or amendment without such approval. Unless otherwise specified in the amendment, any amendment to the Plan adopted in accordance with this Section 12(d) shall apply to, and be binding on the holders of, all Awards outstanding under the Plan at the time the amendment is adopted, provided the Board determines that such amendment, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Participants under the Plan. No Award shall be made that is conditioned upon stockholder approval of any amendment to the Plan unless the Award provides that # it will terminate or be forfeited if stockholder approval of such amendment is not obtained within no more than 12 months from the date of grant and # it may not be exercised or settled (or otherwise result in the issuance of Common Stock) prior to such stockholder approval.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may from time to time and in any respect, amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect any Award theretofore granted without the consent of the Participant or the permitted transferee of the Award. The Board may seek the approval of any amendment, modification, suspension or termination by the Company’s shareholders to the extent it deems necessary in its discretion for purposes of compliance with Section 422 of the Code or for any other purpose, and shall seek such approval to the extent it deems necessary in its discretion to comply with applicable law or listing requirements of NASDAQ or other exchange or securities market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall have broad authority to amend the Plan or any Award under the Plan without the consent of a Participant to the extent it deems necessary or desirable in its discretion to comply with, take into account changes in, or interpretations of, applicable tax laws, securities laws, employment laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Plan. Except as described in Section 14(c) below, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or a portion thereof, at any time, but no amendment shall be made without approval of stockholders of the Company if such approval is required by applicable law, regulation or rule of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall materially impair the rights of any Participant, without his or her consent, with respect to any outstanding Awards unless such amendment or termination is required by applicable law, regulation or rule of any stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed. Subject to the foregoing, the Committee may correct any defect or supply an omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award granted hereunder in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable, in its sole discretion, to effectuate the Plan.
