(a)The caption of Section 13 of the Plan is amended and restated as follows:

“Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control; Death.”

(b)A new clause (e) is added to Section 13 of the Plan as follows:

“Death. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, if an Employee or
Outside Director Participant ceases to be an Employee or Outside Director, as
applicable, as a result of such Participant’s death, then such Participant will
immediately become one hundred percent (100%) vested in and have the right to
exercise Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights as to one hundred percent
(100%) of the Shares underlying such Award, including those Shares which would
not otherwise be vested or exercisable; one hundred percent (100%) of the
aggregate restrictions initially on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
will lapse; with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting for which the
achievement of designated performance goals has been determined, Participant
will immediately become vested in one hundred percent (100%) of the earned
Awards; and, with respect to Awards for which the achievement of designated
performance goals or other vesting criteria has not yet been determined, all
performance goals or other vesting criteria required to be met for such Awards
to be earned will be deemed achieved at target levels and Participant will
immediately become vested in one hundred percent (100%) of the earned Awards,
provided that if such termination of the Participant occurs following the end of
the performance period for any performance goal but prior to the determination
of the achievement of such performance goal, then the achievement of such
performance goal will be determined based on actual performance and Participant
will immediately become vested in one hundred percent (100%) of the earned
Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Participant has not been
continuously an Employee or Outside Director, as applicable, for at least 12
months prior to the day the Participant ceases to be an Employee or Outside
Director as a result of the Participant’s death, then for each reference to “one
hundred percent (100%)” in the foregoing sentence, “fifty percent (50%)” will be
substituted. Any Options that become vested and exercisable pursuant to this
paragraph shall be exercisable in accordance with Section 6(d)(iv) and the
applicable Award Agreement.”

2.Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all terms and conditions of
the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
