Amendment and Termination. Subject to the requirements of [subsection (c)], the Board may at any time wholly or partially amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. However, without approval of the Company’s stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the action by the Board, no action of the Board may, except as provided in Section 13 hereof, increase the limits imposed in Section 3 hereof on the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or extend the term of the Plan under Section 7 hereof.

The Corporation reserves the right to amend or terminate this plan, in whole or in part, including the right at any time to reduce or eliminate any accrued benefits hereunder and to alter or amend the benefit formula set out herein.

Amendment and Termination. The Compensation Committee may suspend, amend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason.

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

Amendment or Termination. The Committee reserves the right, at any time, without either the consent of, or any prior notification to, any Participant, Eligible Officer or other person, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Award Opportunity granted thereunder, in whole or in part, in any manner, and for any reason; provided that any such amendment shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (as applicable), and provided further that any such amendment shall not, after the end of the 90-day period described in Section 3 of the Plan, cause the amount payable under an Award Opportunity to be increased as compared to the amount that would have been paid in accordance with the terms established as of the end of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan following a Change in Control (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) may adversely affect in a material way any Award Opportunity that was outstanding on the date of the Change in Control, without the consent of the affected Participant.

Amendment and Termination. Subject to the following sentence, the Plan may be amended from time to time in any respect by the Committee or the Board; provided, however, that any amendment that would adversely affect the rights or potential rights of Participants shall not be effective for at least 12 months after the date of the Committee’s or the Board’s action; and, provided further, in the event that a Change in Control occurs within 12 months following an amendment to the Plan that would adversely affect the rights or potential rights of Participants, the amendment will not be effective. In anticipation of or in connection with or within three years following a Change in Control, the Plan shall not be subject to amendment, change, substitution, deletion, revocation or termination in any respect which adversely affects the rights of Participants without the consent of each Participant so affected. For the avoidance of doubt, removal of a Participant as a Participant (other than as a result of the Participant ceasing to be an Employee), a decrease in the Participant’s Tier Level or any other reduction in payments or benefits shall be deemed to be an amendment of the Plan which adversely affects the rights of the Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall have the effect of modifying or reducing severance payments that have commenced to former Participants who have been terminated before the adoption of such amendment.

Amendment, Modification and Termination of the Plan. The Board, the Human Resources Committee of the Board or the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board may at any time terminate, suspend or modify the Plan, except that the Board or Committee will not, without authorization of the shareholders of the Company, effect any change (other than through adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided in Section 22) which will reduce the exercise price of, or reprice, outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights as set forth in Section 9.6 or Section 10.4 or otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring shareholder approval by law or under the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements.

Amendment or Termination of the Deferral Plan. The Board of Directors may amend the Deferral Plan as it shall deem advisable. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, terminate the Deferral Plan at any time and pay installments out in a lump sum even when installments have already begun and/or the Participant has terminated employment.

Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this Performance Shares Award, the Employee expressly warrants that he or she has received a right to receive stock under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan. The Employee understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.
