Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3, no Employee shall be granted within any fiscal year of the Company one or more Options or Freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights which in the aggregate are for more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance as Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under this Plan. An Option which is canceled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted shall continue to be counted against such limit for such fiscal year.

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(b), Options and Stock Appreciation Rights with an Exercise Price or grant price not less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant awarded to Covered Employees are intended to be [Section 162(m)] Awards even if not otherwise contingent upon achievement of a pre-established performance goal or goals with respect to the business criteria listed above.

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. In the event of a Change in Control in which the Participant’s outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan are assumed or replaced as provided in [Section 11(b)(1)] above, such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable in full if, within two years after the Change in Control, the Participant’s employment:

Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under the Plan on a stand-alone basis only. The Administrator shall have the authority to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to any Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by award agreements, each in a form approved by the Administrator. The grant of a Stock Appreciation Right shall occur as of the date the Administrator determines, subject to FASB Statement 123(R) and guidance thereunder.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator will determine all terms and conditions of each SAR, including but not limited to: # whether the SAR is granted independently of an Option or relates to an Option; # the grant date, which may not be any day prior to the date that the Administrator approves the grant; # the number of Shares to which the SAR relates; # the grant price, provided that the grant price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the SAR as determined on the date of grant; # the terms and conditions of exercise or maturity, including vesting; # the term, provided that an SAR must terminate no later than ten (10) years after the date of grant; and # whether the SAR will be settled in cash, Shares or a combination thereof. If an SAR is granted in relation to an Option, then unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the SAR shall be exercisable or shall mature at the same time or times, on the same conditions and to the extent and in the proportion, that the related Option is exercisable and may be exercised or mature for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option. Upon exercise of any number of SARs, the number of Shares subject to the related Option shall be reduced accordingly and such Option may not be exercised with respect to that number of Shares. The exercise of any number of Options that relate to an SAR shall likewise result in an equivalent reduction in the number of Shares covered by the related SAR.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to any Eligible Person in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option (a “Tandem Stock Appreciation Right”), or without regard to any Option (a “Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right”), in each case upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, including the following:

The Company grants the Executive Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) with respect to Shares of the common stock of the Company.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants. Subject to the terms of the Plan, 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 or, if the Committee shall so determine in the case of any such right other than one related to any Incentive Stock Option, at any time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise over # the fair market value on the date of grant. To the extent a Stock Appreciation Right is not previously exercised as to all of the Shares subject thereto, and if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the exercise price then in effect, then the Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed automatically exercised immediately before its expiration.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

Vesting Period: Ratably over four (4) years, with twenty-five percent (25%) becoming exercisable on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, except as provided in the Plan.
