(iv) No Options granted to a Non-Employee Director may be exercised after he or she ceases to be a member of the Board, except that: (A) if such cessation occurs by reason of <\/p>\n\n\n\n 
death, the Options then held by the Non-Employee Director may be exercised by his or her designated\nbeneficiary (or, if none, his or her legal representative) until the expiration of such Options in accordance with the terms hereof; (B) if such cessation occurs by reason of the Non-Employee Director incurring a Total Disability, the Options\nthen held by the Non-Employee Director may be exercised by him or her until the expiration of such Options in accordance with the terms hereof; and (C) if such cessation occurs by reason of the Non-Employee Director\u0092s Retirement, the\nOptions then held by the Non-Employee Director may be exercised by him or her until the expiration of such Options in accordance with the terms hereof. <\/p>

Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee may determine that all or a portion of any Award to a Participant, whether it is to be\npaid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, shall be deferred or may, in its sole discretion, approve deferral elections made by Participants. Deferrals shall be for such periods and upon such terms as the Committee may determine\nin its sole discretion. <\/p>

always be a whole number), as may be determined to be appropriate by the Committee, and any such\nadjustment may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, take the form of Options covering more than one class of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan. <\/p>  
11.  Change in Control. <\/i><\/b><\/p>  
Upon a Change in Control, the following shall occur:\n<\/p>  
(a)\nOptions<\/u>.    Effective on the date of such Change in Control, all outstanding and unvested Options granted under the Plan shall immediately vest and become exercisable, and all Options then outstanding under the Plan shall\nremain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

For purposes\nof the preceding sentence, the gain on an Option shall be calculated as the difference between the closing price per share of Common Stock as of the date such Option becomes unexercisable less the Option Exercise Price. <\/p>  
(b) Stock Appreciation\nRights<\/u>.    Effective on the date of such Change in Control, all outstanding and unvested SARs granted under the Plan shall immediately vest and become exercisable, and all SARs then outstanding under the Plan shall remain\noutstanding in accordance with their terms. In the event that any SAR granted under the Plan becomes unexercisable during its term on or after a Change in Control because: (i) the individual who holds such SAR is involuntarily terminated (other\nthan for cause) within two (2) years after the Change in Control; (ii) such SAR is terminated or adversely modified; or (iii) Common Stock is no longer issued and outstanding, or no longer traded on a national securities exchange,\nthen the holder of such SAR shall immediately be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the gain on such SAR. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the gain on a SAR shall be calculated as the difference between the closing price per\nshare of Common Stock as of the date such SAR becomes unexercisable and the purchase price per share of Common Stock covered by the SAR. <\/p>  
(c) Restricted Shares\/Restricted Share Units<\/u>.    Upon a Change of Control all Restricted Shares and Restricted\nShare Units shall immediately vest and be distributed to Participants, effective as of the date of the Change of Control. <\/p>

Each Performance Award granted under the Plan that is outstanding on the date of the\nChange in Control shall immediately vest and the holder of such Performance Award shall be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount of such Performance Award payable at the end of the Performance Period as if 100% of the Performance\nGoals have been achieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
