Shares Available. Subject to the provisions of [Section 15] of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to Awards under the Plan is 17,600,000 Shares (subject to Section 3(b) and to [Section 15(a)]). For the purposes of calculating the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to all Awards (including determining the amount of shares that become available under the Plan under [subsection (b)]): # every one Share issuable pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall count as one Share and # every one Share underlying Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or other stock-based Awards shall count as 1.5 Shares.

The number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan is 46,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to adjustment as provided in [Section 5(e), (i)])] no Participant may receive Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to more than 250,000 Shares, # the maximum number of Shares with respect to which unrestricted Awards (either as to vesting, performance or otherwise) may be made to employees under the Plan is 450,000 Shares, and # the maximum number of Shares that may be issued with respect to any Awards granted on or after February 2, 2010 that are not Awards of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be 13,940,000.

The number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan is 39,800,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(e), (i) no Participant may receive Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to more than 250,000 Shares, # the maximum number of Shares with respect to which unrestricted Awards (either as to vesting, performance or otherwise) may be made to employees under the Plan is 450,000 Shares, and # the maximum number of Shares that may be issued with respect to any Awards granted on or after February 2, 2010 that are not Awards of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be 9,740,000.

Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in [Section 4(B)], the aggregate number of Shares reserved and available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall be 1,500,000. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be 1,500,000. From and after the Effective Date, no further awards shall be granted under the Prior Plan and the Prior Plan shall remain in effect only so long as awards granted thereunder shall remain outstanding. If, after the Effective Date, any Shares covered by an Award granted under this Plan, or to which such an Award relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award is settled for cash or otherwise terminates, expires unexercised, or is canceled without the delivery of Shares, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, or the number of Shares otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted, to the extent of any such settlement, forfeiture, termination, expiration, or cancellation, shall again become Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted. Shares withheld from an Award to satisfy tax withholding requirements shall count against the number of Shares remaining available for Awards under the Plan, and Shares delivered by a participant to satisfy tax withholding requirements shall not be added to the number of Shares remaining available for Awards under the Plan. In addition, # the full number of Shares subject to an Option shall count against the number of Shares remaining available for Awards under the Plan, even if the exercise price of an Option is satisfied through net-settlement or by delivering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation), and # the full number of Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right shall count against the number of Shares remaining available for Awards under the Plan (rather than the net number of Shares actually delivered upon exercise).

Number of Shares Available for Awards. The total number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards of Options and/or Restricted Stock under the Plan may not exceed 2,332,500, and the total number of Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units and/or Performance Shares may not exceed the equivalent of 1,400,400 shares. (No shares of Stock will in fact be issued by the Company upon the issuance or exercise of any or all rights under Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units or Performance Shares.) Such number of shares shall be subject to adjustment upon occurrence of any of the events indicated in Section 5(d). The shares of Stock to be delivered under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued Stock or treasury Stock, not reserved for any other purpose.

Number of Shares Authorized and Available for Awards. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.4 of the Plan, the maximum number of Shares authorized and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 15,700,000 plus the number of Shares subject to outstanding stock options or restricted stock units under the Prior Plans as of the date of stockholder approval of this Plan that thereafter expire or terminate without issuance of the Shares. In connection with approving this Plan, the Board of Directors has approved a resolution that, effective upon receipt of stockholder approval of this Plan, any Shares available for issuance under the Prior Plans that are not subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans will no longer be available for issuance under the Prior Plans.

Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the number of Shares which may be issued under this Plan shall not exceed Three Million Five Hundred Thousand (3,500,000) Shares. Shares issued and sold under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held in the Company’s treasury. To the extent that any Award involving the issuance of Shares is forfeited, cancelled, returned to the Company for failure to satisfy vesting requirements or other conditions of the Award, or is otherwise terminated without an issuance of Shares being made thereunder, the Shares covered thereby will no longer be counted against the foregoing maximum Share limitations and may again be made subject to Awards under the Plan pursuant to such limitations. Any Awards or portions of Awards that are settled in cash and not in Shares shall not be counted against the foregoing maximum Share limitations. The number of Shares subject to Awards granted under the Plan to any single Participant shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 500,000 Shares per year (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2). The number of Shares subject to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan to any single Participant shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 500,000 Shares per fiscal year (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2). These per-Participant limits shall be construed and applied consistently with Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder.

The total number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan is 200,000,000, of which no more than 20% may be issued in the form of Restricted Stock or Other Stock-Based Awards payable in Shares. The maximum aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted during a calendar year, net of any Shares which are subject to Awards (or portions thereof) which, during such year, terminate or lapse without payment of consideration, shall be equal to 2% of the number of Shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted during a calendar year to any Participant shall be 2,000,000; provided that the maximum number of Shares that may be awarded in the form of Restricted Stock or Other Stock-Based Awards payable in Shares during any calendar year to any Participant shall be 600,000. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the full number of Shares covered by Awards granted under the Plan (including, without limitation, the full number of Shares covered by any Stock Appreciation Right, regardless of whether any such Stock Appreciation Right or other Award covering Shares under the Plan is ultimately settled in cash or by delivery of Shares); provided, however, that the number of Shares covered by Awards (or portions thereof) that are forfeited or that otherwise terminate or lapse without the payment of consideration in respect thereof shall again become available for issuance under the Plan; and provided further that any Shares that are forfeited after the actual issuance of such Shares to a Participant under the Plan shall not become available for re-issuance under the Plan.

Section # Shares Available Under the Plan. Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.2, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued or delivered and as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan will be equal to the sum of: # 4,248,497 shares of Stock, which were authorized at the time that the Plan was first adopted by the Board effective January 13, 2010; # 3,000,000 shares of Stock; # any shares of Stock subject to an Award under the Plan that expires without being exercised, or is forfeited, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated without a distribution of Stock to the Participant; # shares of Stock not delivered to the Participant because the Award is exercised through a reduction of shares subject to the Award (i.e., “net exercised”); and # shares of Stock delivered (either actually or by attestation) to or withheld by the Corporation in connection with the exercise of an Option awarded under the Plan, or in payment of any required income tax withholding for the exercise of an Option or the vesting of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. The shares that may be issued or delivered under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, repurchased shares, or partly each.

Shares Subject to the Plan. The shares of Stock with respect to which awards may be made under the Plan shall be either authorized and unissued shares or issued and outstanding shares (including, in the discretion of the Board, shares purchased in the market). Subject to the provisions of [Section 1.10], the number of shares of Stock available under the Plan for the grant of Stock Options with or without tandem Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units and Restricted Stock shall not exceed 6,000,000 shares in the aggregate. If, for any reason, any award under the Plan or any portion of the award, shall expire, terminate or be forfeited or canceled, or be settled in cash pursuant to the terms of the Plan and, therefore, any such shares are no longer distributable under the award, such shares of Stock shall again be available for award under the Plan.
