Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. An Award of a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement setting forth the Base Price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Stock Appreciation Right relates, any conditions to the exercise of all or a portion of the Stock Appreciation Right and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. A Stock Appreciation Right may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted in tandem with an Option, and in such event, shall # have a Base Price per share equal to the per share Exercise Price of the Option, # be vested and exercisable at the same time or times that a related Option is vested and exercisable, and # expire no later than the time at which the related Option expires.

Award. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the grantee, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe, to receive upon the exercise thereof an award equal to all or a portion of the excess of # the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock at the time of the exercise of such right over # a specified price which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time the right is granted. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4, such award may be paid by the Company in cash, in shares of Common Stock (valued at their then Fair Market Value), or in any combination thereof, as the Committee may determine. Stock Appreciation Rights may be, but are not required to be, granted in connection with a previously or contemporaneously granted Stock Option.

The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Persons subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive upon exercise thereof the excess of # the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over # the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified by the Committee, which price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right; provided, however, that the Committee may designate a grant price below Fair Market Value on the date of grant if the Stock Appreciation Right is granted in substitution for a Stock Appreciation Right previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, dates of exercise, methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee (except that the term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to the term limitation in Section 6(a)(ii) applicable to Options). The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate.

Stock Appreciation Right Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant to any Participant one or more Stock Appreciation Rights. Such Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either independent of or in tandem with Options granted to the same Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options may be granted simultaneously with, or, in the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options, subsequent to, the grant to such Participant of the related Option; provided however, that: # any Option covering any share of Common Stock shall expire and not be exercisable upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right with respect to the same share, # any Stock Appreciation Right covering any share of Common Stock shall expire and not be exercisable upon the exercise of any related Option with respect to the same share, and # an Option and Stock Appreciation Right covering the same share of Common Stock may not be exercised simultaneously. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right with respect to a share of Common Stock, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess, if any, of # the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over # the Exercise Price of such Stock Appreciation Right established in the Award Agreement, which amount shall be payable as provided in [Section 6.02(c)].

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Employees, Consultants or Non-Employee Directors. The terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights, including the vesting and exercise provisions, shall be set forth in an Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted # if unrelated to an Option, at any time, or # if related to an Option, either at the time of grant or at any time thereafter during the term of the Option. The exercise price of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the grant date of the Award.

Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Whenever the Committee deems it appropriate to grant Stock Appreciation Rights, the Company shall provide an Award Agreement to the Participant stating the number of shares for which Stock Appreciation Rights are granted, the exercise price per share, and the conditions to which the grant and exercise of the Stock Appreciation Rights are subject, including whether vesting will be contingent on the achievement of any Performance Goals, as the Committee acting in its complete discretion deems consistent with the terms of the Plan.

Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and provisions.

The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Persons.
