Amendment. Suspension or Termination of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.1, the Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board. However, without approval of the Company's stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the action by the Administrator, no action of the Administrator may, except as provided in Section 12.2 hereof, # increase the Share Limit, # reduce the price per share of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan, or # cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award in violation of Section 10.6 hereof. Except as provided in Section 12.13 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Participant, impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so provides. The annual increase to the Share Limit (set forth in [Section 3.1(a)(ii)] hereof) shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date and, from and after such tenth ("10") anniversary, no additional share increases shall occur pursuant to Section 3.1 (a)(ii) hereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no ISO shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

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. 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.

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.

Section # Amendment. The Board specifically reserves the right to alter and amend the Plan at any time and from time to time and the right to revoke or terminate the Plan or to suspend the granting of Awards pursuant to the Plan; provided that no such alteration, amendment, revocation, termination, or suspension will terminate any outstanding Award theretofore granted under the Plan, unless there is a liquidation or a dissolution of the Corporation; and provided further that no such alteration or amendment of the Plan will, without prior stockholder approval # increase the total number of shares of Stock that may be issued or delivered under the Plan; # make any changes in the class of Eligible Individuals; # extend the period set forth in the Plan during which Awards may be granted; or # make any changes that require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or market on which the Stock is traded. No alteration, amendment, revocation or termination of the Plan or suspension of any Award will materially adversely affect, without the written consent of the holder of an Award theretofore granted under the Plan, the rights of such holder with respect to such Award. The Committee may not amend any Award to extend the exercise period beyond a date that is later than the earlier of the latest date upon which the Award could have expired by its original terms under any circumstances or the 10th anniversary of the original date of grant of the Award, or otherwise cause the Award to become subject to Section 409A.

8.1Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that if and to the extent required by law or to maintain the Plan’s compliance with the Code, the rules of any national securities exchange (if applicable), or any other applicable law, any such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and further provided, that no amendment shall permit the repricing, replacing or regranting of an Option either in connection with the cancellation of such Option or by amending an Award Agreement to lower the exercise price of such Option. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant. No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.

Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that if at any time the approval of the Company’s stockholders is required as to any 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 10(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 does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Participants under the Plan.

The Board may at any time amend, suspend, or discontinue the Plan or alter or amend any or all Awards under the Plan to the extent # permitted by law, # permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Stock or any other security of the Corporation is listed, and # permitted under applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act (including Rule 16b-3 thereof); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing requires the approval by the stockholders of any such amendment, suspension or discontinuance, then the Board may take such action subject to the approval of the stockholders. Except as provided in [subsection 7(b)], no such amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Director, adversely alter or change any of the rights or obligations under any Award granted to the Director unless such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws. The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice to a Director, # limit the period in which an Option may be exercised to a period ending at least three months following the date of such notice, and/or # limit or eliminate the number of shares of Stock subject to Award after a period ending at least three months following the date of such notice. Except as provided in [subsection 8(h)] and this Section 12 or as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, no such amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Director, adversely alter or change any of the rights or obligations under any Awards or other rights previously granted the Director under the Plan.

Termination, Suspension or Amendment of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, modify, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, subject to all applicable laws and to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (or any successor organizations) respecting shareholder approval or other requirements; provided that, without shareholder approval the Board may not # increase the maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan (other than increases due to changes in capitalization referred to in [Section 4(B)] hereof), or # change the class of Employees eligible for Incentive Stock Options. No such amendment, alteration, modification, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall materially and adversely affect any right acquired by any Participant or beneficiary of a Participant under the terms of an Award granted before the date of such amendment, alteration, modification, suspension, discontinuation or termination, unless such Participant or beneficiary shall consent.

Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that if at any time the approval of the Company’s stockholders is required as to any 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 11(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.
