Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, and certain consultants, are eligible to become "Participants" in the Plan. In the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may be granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan, and more than one Award may be granted to a Participant.
