No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: # limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s or an Affiliate’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or # limit the right or power of the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

No Limitation to Corporate Action. Nothing in the Plan shall preclude the Company from authorizing the payment to the eligible employees of other compensation, including (without limitation) base salaries, awards under any other plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, any other incentive payments or bonuses (whether or not based on the attainment of performance objectives) and retention or other special payments.

Grant of Other Stock-Based Awards. The Administrator may grant Other Stock-Based Awards. An Other Stock-Based Award is an award of Stock not otherwise described by the terms of this Plan, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion. Such Awards may involve the transfer of actual shares of Stock to grantees, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares of Stock.

Grant of Awards. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine from the class of Eligible Persons those individuals to whom Awards under the Plan may be granted, the number of Shares subject to each Award, the price (if any) to be paid for the Shares or the Award and, in the case of Performance Awards, in addition to the matters addressed in Section 10, the specific objectives, goals and performance criteria that further define the Performance Award. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement signed by the Company and, if required by the Committee, by the Participant. The Award Agreement shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the Award established by the Committee, and each Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 23, 24, and 26 unless otherwise specifically provided in an Award Agreement.

Grant of Awards. Awards under the Plan are cash bonus opportunities. All Awards under the Plan shall be granted upon terms approved by the Committee which may include, without limitation, the performance goal(s) applicable to Awards and the methodology or other factors for determining the amount (if any) payable with respect to the Award if the Award is earned and payable in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Plan. Each Award shall relate to a designated Plan Year.

The Committee shall from time to time at its discretion select the Eligible Persons who are to be issued Grants and determine the number and type of Grants to be issued under any Award Agreement to an Eligible Person. In particular, the Committee shall # determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Grants awarded hereunder (including, but not limited to the performance goals and periods applicable to the award of Grants); # determine the time or times when and the manner and condition in which each Option shall be exercisable and the duration of the exercise period; and # determine or impose other conditions to the Grant or exercise of Options under the Plan as it may deem appropriate. The Committee may establish such rules, regulations and procedures for the administration of the Plan as it deems appropriate, determine the extent, if any, to which Options, Phantom Shares, Shares (whether or not Shares of Restricted Stock), DERs, Partnership Units or other equity-based awards shall be forfeited (whether or not such forfeiture is expressly contemplated hereunder), and take any other actions and make any other determinations or decisions that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Plan or the administration or interpretation thereof. The Committee shall also cause each Option to be designated as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-qualified Stock Option, except that no Incentive Stock Options may be granted to an Eligible Person who is not an Employee of the Company or a "subsidiary corporation" or a "parent corporation" as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code. The Grantee shall take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents the Committee may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or advisable in order to carry or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on the Grantee pursuant to the express provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement. DERs will be exercisable separately or together with Options, and paid in cash or other consideration at such times and in accordance with such rules, as the Committee shall determine in its discretion. Unless expressly provided hereunder, the Committee, with respect to any Grant, may exercise its discretion hereunder at the time of the award or thereafter. The Committee shall have the right and responsibility to interpret the Plan and the interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any Grant thereunder, including, without limitation, in the event of a dispute, shall be final and binding on all Grantees and other persons to the maximum extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of Section 23, no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Grant hereunder.

“Date of Grant” means the date provided for by the Committee on which a grant of Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Cash Incentive Awards, or other awards contemplated by Section 9 of this Plan, or a grant or sale of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or other awards contemplated by Section 9 of this Plan, will become effective (which date will not be earlier than the date on which the Committee takes action with respect thereto).

“Grant Date” means the later of (a) the date on which the Committee completes the corporate action authorizing the grant of an Award or such later date specified by the Committee or (b) the date on which all conditions precedent to an Award have been satisfied, provided that conditions to the exercisability or vesting of Awards shall not defer the Grant Date.

Stock Unit Awards. A Participant shall receive a Stock Unit Award for each calendar quarter in respect of his Mandatory Conversion and any Voluntary Conversion applicable to such quarter. Such Stock Unit Award shall equal the number of the Stock Units determined by dividing # the aggregate dollar amount of the Participant’s Director’s Fees that are converted to a Stock Unit Award for the quarter by his Mandatory Conversion and Voluntary Conversion, by # the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the last business day of such calendar quarter. Each Stock Unit Award shall be credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account as of the first day following the end of the calendar quarter for which such Stock Unit Award is granted.

In the event of any corporate event or transaction such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, partial or complete liquidation, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of Shares, exchange of Shares, dividend in kind, extraordinary cash dividend or any other similar corporate event or transaction (“Corporate Transaction”), the Committee, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under this Plan, shall substitute or adjust, as applicable, # the number and kind of Shares that may be issued under this Plan or under particular forms of Awards, # the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, # the Option Price or Grant Price applicable to outstanding Awards, and # the Annual Award Limits and other value determinations applicable to outstanding Awards. The Committee, in its discretion, shall determine the methodology or manner of making such substitution or adjustment.
