General. Except as otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall consist exclusively of two (2) or more nonemployee directors within the meaning of the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The members of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the discretion of, the Board. The Committee shall have the authority to delegate administrative duties to officers or Directors of the Company; provided that the Committee may not delegate its authority with respect to non-ministerial actions with respect to Insiders.

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall consist of not less than two directors of the Company, all of whom shall be Non-Employee Directors; provided, however, that, if at any time not all members are Non-Employee Directors, all actions taken by the Committee shall nonetheless be valid for all purposes other than Section 16 of the Exchange Act, if applicable. Committee members shall be appointed by the Board and shall serve on the Committee at the pleasure of the Board. The functions of the Committee specified in the Plan shall be exercised by the Board if and to the extent that no Committee exists which has the authority to so administer the Plan.

Administrator. The Committee (or another committee or a subcommittee of the Board assuming the functions of the Committee under the Plan) shall administer the Plan (except as otherwise permitted herein) and, unless otherwise determined by the Board, shall consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors appointed by and holding office at the pleasure of the Board, each of whom is intended to qualify as a "non-employee director" as defined by Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and an "independent director'' under the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded, in each case, to the extent required under such provision; provided, however, that any action taken by the Committee shall be valid and effective, whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 11.1 or otherwise provided in the Company's charter or Bylaws or any charter of the Committee. Except as may otherwise be provided in any charter of the Committee, appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment, Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written or electronic notice to the Board, and vacancies in the Committee may only be filled by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, # the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors and # the Board or Committee may delegate its authority hereunder to the extent permitted by Section 11.6 hereof.

Section # The Committee. The Committee shall administer the Plan and, subject to the provisions of the Plan and applicable law, may exercise its discretion in performing its administrative duties. The Committee shall consist of not fewer than three (3) Directors, and Committee action shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of its members. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors. The Committee shall be composed solely of Directors who are both # non-employee directors under Rule 16b-3 and # outside directors under Code Section 162(m)(3)(C)(ii).

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall consist of not less than two directors of the Company, all of whom shall be Non-Employee Directors and Independent Directors; provided, however, that, if at any time not all members are Non-Employee Directors and Independent Directors, all actions taken by the Committee shall nonetheless be valid for all purposes other than Section 16 of the Exchange Act, if applicable. Because the provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that no transaction under this Plan is subject to (and all such transactions will be exempt from) the short-swing recovery rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, a subcommittee of the Board or the Committee shall be established subject to such limitations as the Board deems appropriate to permit transactions pursuant to this Plan to be exempt (pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Committee members shall be appointed by the Board and shall serve on the Committee at the pleasure of the Board. The functions of the Committee specified in the Plan shall be exercised by the Board if and to the extent that no Committee exists which has the authority to so administer the Plan.

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall be appointed by the Board and shall consist of not less than three directors, each of whom shall be independent, within the meaning of and to the extent required by applicable rulings and interpretations of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and each of whom shall be a “Non-Employee Director”, as defined from time to time for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of the Committee who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the Committee. The Committee may issue rules and regulations for administration of the Plan. It shall meet at such times and places as it may determine. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum.

Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) or a committee of two or more members appointed by the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). If the Board of Directors does not appoint a Committee, reference to the Committee hereinbelow, shall mean the Board of Directors. At the time that the Corporation has a class of equity securities which are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or is a publicly-held corporation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), membership in the Committee is limited to Non-Employee Directors as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and outside directors as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.162-27(e)(3). The Committee shall select one of its members as Chairman and shall appoint a Secretary, who need not be a member of the Committee. The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine and minutes of such meetings shall be recorded. Acts by a majority of the Committee in a meeting at which a quorum is present and acts approved in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be valid acts of the Committee.

4.1The Committee. The Plan will be administered by the Committee, which, to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board, will consist of two or more persons who satisfy the requirements for a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act and/or the requirements for an “independent director” under the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange; provided, however, that actions by the Committee shall be valid even if one or more members of the Committee fail to satisfy such requirements. The members of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors. In the absence of such appointment, the Board of Directors shall serve as the Committee and shall have all of the responsibilities, duties, and authority of the Committee set forth herein.

Committee Composition. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors, or by the Board of Directors acting as the Committee. The Committee shall consist of two or more directors of the Company. In addition, the composition of the Committee shall satisfy such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act.

The Plan shall be administered by the Corporation's Board of Directors ("Board"), or in the discretion of the Board, a committee consisting of no less than two Non-Employee Directors or persons meeting such other requirements as may be imposed by Rule 16(b) under the 1934 Act ("Committee").
