Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.
The Administrator shall determine the period during which the Participant shall vest in a Stock Appreciation Right and have the right to exercise such Stock Appreciation Rights (subject to Section 9.4 hereof) in whole or in part. Such vesting may be based on service with the Company or any Affiliate, any of the Performance Criteria or any other criteria selected by the Administrator. At any time after grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, accelerate the period during which the Stock Appreciation Right vests.
Exercise of Stock Appreciation Right. An Award Holder desiring to exercise a Stock Appreciation Right shall deliver notice to the Company in the manner set forth in [Section 19.1(a)] except that such notice need not be accompanied by payment. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Award Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying:
Option and Stock Appreciation Right Repricing. Except as provided in Section 4(c) and in connection with the granting of a Substitute Award, the Committee may not, without shareholder approval, seek to cancel and replace any previously granted “underwater” Option, Stock Appreciation Right or similar Award with an Option and Stock Appreciation Right, or similar Award, as applicable, having a lower exercise price by: # amending or modifying the terms of the Option, Stock Appreciation Right or similar Award to lower the exercise price; # cancelling the underwater Option, Stock Appreciation Right or similar Award and granting either # replacement Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or similar Awards having a lower exercise price or # Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards or other Share-based Awards in exchange; or # cancelling or repurchasing the underwater Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or similar Awards for cash or other securities. An Option, Stock Appreciation Right or similar Award will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the fair market value of the Shares covered by such Award is less than the exercise price of the Award.
Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:
The Company grants the Executive Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) with respect to Shares of the common stock of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant (or any successor or legal representative) shall not have any rights under any Stock Appreciation Right, to the extent that such Stock Appreciation Right has not previously been exercised, and the Company shall not be obligated to pay or deliver any cash, Common Stock or any combination thereof (or have any other obligation or liability) under such Stock Appreciation Right if the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion that the Participants Continuous Service shall have been terminated for Cause (as such term is defined in the Participants Stock Appreciation Right agreement or employment agreement, if any), which determination shall be made in good faith. If there is a conflict between the definition of Cause as defined in the Participants Stock Appreciation Right agreement and as defined in the Participants employment agreement, if any, the most restrictive definition of Cause shall apply unless the employment agreement expressly provides otherwise. In the event of such determination, the Participant (or any successor or legal representative) shall have no right under such Stock Appreciation Right, to the extent that such Stock Appreciation Right has not previously been exercised. Any Stock Appreciation Right may be terminated entirely by the Committee at the time of or at any time subsequent to the determination by the Committee under this [Section 7.3] which has the effect of eliminating the Companys obligations under such Stock Appreciation Right.

Base Price.
