The Committee may subject RSUs to restrictions (which may include a risk of forfeiture) as specified in the RSU award agreement, and such restrictions may lapse at such times determined by the Committee. RSUs may be settled by delivery of common stock, cash equal to the fair market value of the specified number of shares of common stock covered by the RSUs, or any combination thereof determined by the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter. Dividend equivalents on the specified number of shares of common stock covered by RSUs may be paid on a current, deferred or contingent basis, as determined by the Committee on or following the date of grant.

Bonus Stock Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant bonus stock awards under the Stock Plan.

Substitute Awards. Awards may be granted in substitution or exchange for any other award granted under the Stock Plan or under another equity incentive plan or any other right of an eligible person to receive payment from
