 or shares/unit equivalents, respectively, 
 and may be linked to one or more performance or other criteria as determined by the plan  
 administrator.                                                                            |

 Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other stock or cash-based awards are awards of cash, fully             
 vested shares of the Company common stock and other awards valued wholly or partially by           
 referring to, or otherwise based on, shares of the Company common stock. Other stock or cash-based 
 awards may be granted to participants and may also be available as a payment form in the           
 settlement of other awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation          
 to which a participant is otherwise entitled. The plan administrator will determine the terms      
 and conditions of other stock or cash-based awards, which may include vesting conditions           
 based on continued service, performance, and/or other conditions.                                  |

| ● | Dividend                                                                                       
 Equivalents. Dividend equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value          
 of dividends paid on shares of the Company common stock and may be granted alone or in tandem  
 with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are converted to cash       
 or shares by such formula and such time as determined by the plan administrator. In addition,  
 dividend equivalents with respect to an award subject to vesting will either (i) to the extent 
 permitted by applicable law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject to     
 vesting to the same extent as the related award.                                               |

 award may be granted as a performance award, meaning that the award will be subject to vesting     
 and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance goals. Performance goals           
 or performance criteria established by the plan administrator for any award may be described       
 in terms of company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of           
 a subsidiary, division, business unit, department, region or function in which the participant     
 is employed or in terms of the performance of the individual participant and may be based
