Annual Equity Grants. Effective for service on or after April 10, 2023, to be granted on April 10, 2023 (or, for Directors elected other than at an Annual Meeting, on the effective date of their election as a Director) and on the day of each succeeding Annual Meeting, each Outside Director who is then a member of the Board of Directors, will be granted the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be equal to the applicable Equity Grant Amount divided by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock for such grant date, or if the primary exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading is not open for trading on such date, the grant date shall be the next following trading date. For the annual grant with respect to the last year of Board service, the applicable Equity Grant Amount will be prorated at settlement based on the number of days of actual service in the year if the Outside Director did not serve until the next succeeding Annual Meeting. Effective for grants made in respect of service on or after April 10, 2023, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the next Annual Meeting, subject to pro-rata vesting, as described in the immediately preceding sentence, upon becoming a Retired Outside Director.

Such prorated grant shall be made upon the first trading day of the calendar month, within the Company’s open trading window, following the date such individual becomes an Eligible Director, with the number of shares determined using the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date, and rounding this number to the nearest integer multiple of one hundred (100) shares.

Grants. The Committee may in its discretion grant Share Appreciation Rights to any Eligible Person pursuant to Award Agreements, in any of the following forms:
Grants. The Committee may in its sole discretion grant restricted shares (“Restricted Shares”) to any Eligible Person and shall evidence such grant in an Award Agreement that is delivered to the Participant and that sets forth the number of Restricted Shares, the purchase price for such Restricted Shares (if any), and the terms upon which the Restricted Shares may become vested. In addition, the Company may in its discretion grant to any Eligible Person the right to receive Shares after certain vesting requirements are met (“Restricted Share Units”), and shall evidence such grant in an Award Agreement that is delivered to the Participant and that sets forth the number of Shares (or formula, that may be based on future performance or conditions, for determining the number of Shares) that the Participant shall be entitled to receive upon vesting and the terms upon which the Shares subject to a Restricted Share Unit may become vested. The Committee may condition any Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units to a Participant on receiving from the Participant such further assurances and documents as the Committee may require to enforce the restrictions. In addition, the Committee may grant Awards hereunder in the form of unrestricted shares (“Unrestricted Shares”), which shall vest in full upon the date of grant or such other date as the Committee may determine or which the Committee may issue pursuant to any program under which one or more Eligible Persons (selected by the Committee in its sole discretion) elect to pay for such Shares or to receive Unrestricted Shares in lieu of cash bonuses that would otherwise be paid.
Grants. The Committee may grant # a Stock Appreciation Right independent of an Option or # a Stock Appreciation Right in connection with an Option, or a portion thereof. A Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence # may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, # shall cover the same number of Shares covered by an Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and # shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in an Award agreement).
Grants. The Committee may grant stock options alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan to any Participant. Each person so selected shall be offered an option to purchase the number of Shares determined by the Committee. The Committee shall specify whether such option is an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option and any other terms and conditions relating to such Award, including whether the option is exercisable for Restricted Stock rather than unrestricted Shares. Each such person so selected shall have a reasonable period of time within which to accept or reject the offered option. Failure to accept within the period so fixed by the Committee may be treated as a rejection. Each person who accepts an option shall enter into a written agreement with the Company, in such form as the Committee may prescribe, setting forth the terms and conditions of the option (including the extent to which the option is an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option), consistent with the provisions of the Plan.
Grants. The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified by the grant. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock shall be specified by the grant agreement. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may specify any particular rights which the person to whom an Award of Restricted Stock is made shall have in the Restricted Stock during the restriction period and the restrictions applicable to the particular Award, the vesting schedule (which may be based on service, performance or other factors) and rights to acceleration of vesting (including, without limitation, whether non-vested Shares are forfeited or vested upon termination of employment or service). Further, the Committee may award performance-based Restricted Stock by conditioning the grant or vesting or such other factors, such as the release, expiration or lapse of restrictions upon any such Award (including the acceleration of any such conditions or terms) of such Restricted Stock, upon the attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors as the Committee may determine. The Committee shall also determine when the restrictions shall lapse or expire and the conditions, if any, under which the Restricted Stock will be forfeited or sold back to the Company. Each Award of Restricted Stock may have different restrictions and conditions. The Committee, in its discretion, may prospectively change the restriction period and the restrictions applicable to any particular Award of Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise set forth in the Plan, Restricted Stock may not be disposed of by the recipient until the restrictions specified in the Award expire.
Grants. A Performance Award may consist of either or both, as the Committee may determine, # “Performance Shares” or the right to receive Shares, Restricted Stock or cash of an equivalent value, or any combination thereof as the Committee may determine, or # “Performance Units,” or the right to receive a fixed dollar amount payable in cash, Shares, Restricted Stock or any combination thereof, as the Committee may determine. The Committee may grant Performance Awards to any Participant for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law or for such other consideration as may be specified at the time of the grant. The terms and conditions of Performance Awards shall be specified at the time of the grant and may include provisions establishing the performance period, the performance criteria to be achieved during a performance period, the criteria used to determine vesting (including the acceleration thereof), whether Performance Awards are forfeited or vest upon termination of employment or service during a performance period and the maximum or minimum settlement values. Each Performance Award shall have its own terms and conditions, which shall be determined at the discretion of the Committee. If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the established performance measures or objectives are no longer suitable because of a change in the Company’s business, operations, corporate structure or for other reasons that the Committee deems satisfactory, the Committee may modify the performance measures or objectives and/or the performance period.
Other Grants. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3, no Employee shall be granted within any fiscal year of the Company one or more Grants of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Performance-Based Restricted Stock, subject to Vesting Conditions based on the attainment of time vesting, Performance Goals, or both, which in the aggregate are for more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance as Restricted Stock under this Plan.
