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.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The maximum aggregate grant with respect to other Stock-Based Awards pursuant to Section 10.2 granted in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be five hundred thousand (500,000), plus the amount of the Participant’s unused applicable Annual Award Limit for Other Stock-Based Awards as of the close of the previous Plan Year.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The Compensation Committee may grant other types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms of this Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted Shares) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Compensation Committee shall determine. Such Awards may involve the transfer of actual Shares to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Shares and may include, without limitation, Awards designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws of jurisdictions other than the United States.

OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant Other Stock-Based Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of this Plan, including convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Stock, other rights convertible into shares of Stock and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Stock or the value of securities of specified subsidiaries, affiliates or business segments or units. The Committee may determine the terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards, which may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Awards under this Plan.

Other Awards of shares of Common Stock, and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares of Common Stock or other property, may be granted hereunder to Participants (“Other Stock-Based Awards”), including without limitation stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and Awards entitling recipients to receive shares of Common Stock to be delivered in the future. Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock-Based Awards may be paid in shares of Common Stock or cash, as the Board shall determine. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock-Based Award, including any purchase price applicable thereto.

The Board shall have the right to grant other Awards based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of securities convertible into Common Stock and the grant of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards or stock units.

Additional Limitations for Other Stock-Based Awards. The terms of all Awards granted to a California Participant under Section 8 of the Plan shall comply, to the extent applicable, with Sections 260.140.42, 260.140.45 and 260.140.46 of the California Code of Regulations.

Grant of Stock Awards. A Stock Award may be granted to any Eligible Employee selected by the Committee. A Stock Award may be granted for past services, in lieu of bonus or other cash compensation or for any other valid purpose as determined by the Committee. A Stock Award granted to an Eligible Employee represents Shares that are issued without restrictions on transfer and other incidents of ownership and free of forfeiture conditions, except as otherwise provided in the Plan and the Award Agreement. The Committee may, in connection with any Stock Award, require the payment of a specified purchase price.

Effect on Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. In addition to any acceleration provisions expressly provided in the applicable option agreement, stock restriction agreement or any other agreement between a Participant and [[Organization A:Organization]] in respect of an Award, upon consummation of an Acquisition (as defined below), the Board shall have the authority to accelerate the date(s) that # any outstanding Options shall become exercisable, # any Restricted Stock Awards then outstanding shall become free of repurchase provisions, and # any other stock-based Awards shall become exercisable, realizable or vested, or shall become free of repurchase provisions, as the case may be. Upon consummation of an Acquisition, the Board or the board of directors of the surviving or acquiring entity (as used in this Section 7(e)(i)(A), also the “Board”), shall, as to such outstanding Awards (on the same basis or on different bases, as the Board shall specify), make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Awards by [[Organization A:Organization]] or the assumption of such Awards by the surviving or acquiring entity and by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such Awards either # the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, # shares of stock of the surviving or acquiring corporation or # such other securities as the Board deems appropriate, the fair market value of which (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) shall not materially differ from the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards immediately preceding the Acquisition. In addition to or in lieu of the foregoing, with respect to outstanding Options, the Board may, upon written notice to the affected Participants, provide that one or more Options then outstanding shall become immediately exercisable in full and that such Options must be exercised within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period such Options shall terminate; or provide that one or more Options then outstanding shall become immediately exercisable in full and shall be terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) for the shares subject to such Options over the exercise price thereof.
