**Section 11. Terminating Events**

 

(a) **Definition of a “Terminating Event.”** For purposes ofSection 11(b), a “Terminating Event” means: (i) a reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations as a result of which the Company will not be the surviving corporation, (ii) a sale of substantiallyall the assets and property of the Company to another person, corporation or entity, or (iii) a “change in control,” i.e., any other single transaction involving the Company (such as a tender offer) where there is a change in ownership ofat least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s outstanding shares, unless such change in ownership results from (i) a transfer of shares to another corporation in exchange for at least eighty percent (80%) control of that corporation, or(ii) the issuance of additional shares of stock by the Company in a public stock offering or similar transaction. 

 

(b) **Impact of Event.** In the event of a “Terminating Event” as defined in Section 11(a), any surviving corporation or entity or acquiringcorporation or entity, or affiliate of such corporation or entity, may assume any Options, Restricted Stock Awards or any other Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the Plan. In the event anysurviving corporation or entity or acquiring corporation or entity in a Terminating Event does not assume such Options or Awards or does not substitute similar Options or other Awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then (i) the vesting ofsuch Options or other Awards outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and made fully exercisable and all restrictions thereon shall lapse ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Terminating Event; and (ii) upon the closing of theTerminating Event, any Options outstanding under the Plan shall be terminated if not exercised prior to the closing, unless the Board of Directors in its sole discretion determines prior to the effective date of the Terminating Event that alloutstanding Options and the Plan itself should continue in full force and effect. In the case of such a determination by the Board of Directors, or in the event that any pending Terminating Event does not occur, the Plan and all outstanding Optionsand other Awards thereunder shall continue in force with all original vesting schedules in effect. 

 

(c) **Notice to Participants of Terminating Event.** Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a Terminating Event, the Board of Directors or theCommittee shall notify each Participant of the pendancy of the Terminating Event. With respect to Holders of Restricted Stock or Participants with Stand-Alone SARs or Phantom Stock, the notice shall simply inform such Participants of the pendancy ofthe Terminating Event and of the fact that the restrictions on their Restricted Stock will lapse, or that they will become entitled to their payments pursuant to their Stand-Alone SARs or Phantom Stock, on the closing of the Terminating Event. Inthe case of Optionees, the notice shall inform such Optionees that their Options shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5(c)(iv) hereof, become exercisable in full and not only as to those shares with respect to which 

 

12 

installments, if any, have then accrued, subject, however, to earlier expiration or termination as provided elsewhere inthe Plan, and further subject to the condition that the Terminating Event in fact occurs. Optionees shall then be entitled to exercise any Options or portions thereof commencing on the tenth (10th) day, and ending on the third (3rd) day, prior tothe Terminating Event, or at such other times as may be specified by the Board of Directors in connection with the Terminating Event. In the case of Participants with Tandem SARs, the notice shall inform such Participant of the need to choosebetween the exercise of the SAR or the underlying Option and of the fact that any remaining unexercised portion of the Option or the Tandem SAR shall lapse if not exercised within the required time period. 

 

**Section 12. Acceleration of Options or other Awards.**

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6(c)(iv), 7(b), 8(b)(i) or9(c)(i) hereof or any provision to the contrary contained in any Award Agreement, the Board of Directors (or the Committee), in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or any Award then outstanding. The decision by the Board ofDirectors to accelerate an Award or to decline to accelerate an Award shall be final. In the event of the acceleration of Options or SARs as the result of a decision by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 12, each outstanding Option orSAR so accelerated shall be exercisable for a period from and after the date of such acceleration and upon such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion, provided that such terms and conditions (otherthan terms and conditions relating solely to the acceleration of exercisability and the related termination of an Option or SAR) may not adversely affect the rights of any Participant without the consent of the Participant so adversely affected. Anyoutstanding Option or SAR which has not been exercised by the holder at the end of such period shall terminate automatically at that time. 

 

**Section 13. General Provisions**

 

(a) **Award Grants.** Any Award may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the terms andrestrictions set forth elsewhere in the Plan, the Board or the Committee shall determine the consideration, if any, payable by the Participant for any Award and, in addition to those set forth in the Plan, any other terms and conditions of theAwards. The Board or the Committee may condition the grant or payment of any Award upon the attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors or criteria, including vesting based on continued service on the Board or employment, as theBoard or the Committee shall determine. Performance objectives may vary from Participant to Participant and among groups of Participants and shall be based upon such Company, subsidiary, group or division factors or criteria as the Committee maydeem appropriate, including, but not limited to, earnings per share or return on equity. The other provisions of Awards also need not be the same with respect to each recipient. Unless specified otherwise in the Plan or by the Board or theCommittee, the date of grant of an Award shall be the date of action by the Board or the Committee to grant the Award. 

 

(b) **Award Agreement.** As soon as practicable after the date of an Award grant, the Company and the Participant shall enter into a written AwardAgreement identifying the date of grant, and specifying the terms and conditions of the Award. Options and SARs are not exercisable until after execution of the Award Agreement by the Company and the Participant, but a delay in execution of theAward Agreement shall not affect the validity of the Option or SAR grant.

The Company may defer making delivery as to any such shares, if any such tax is payable, until indemnified to its satisfaction. Such withholding obligation of the Company may be satisfied by any reasonable method,including, if the Board or the Committee so provides, reducing the number of shares otherwise deliverable to or on behalf of the Holder on such Taxable Event by a number of shares of Stock having a fair value, based on the Fair Market Value of theStock on the date of such Taxable Event, equal to the amount of such withholding obligation. With the approval of the Board or the Committee, which it shall have sole discretion to grant, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement byelecting to have the Company withhold from delivery shares of Stock having a value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld isdetermined (the “Tax Date”). Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such a withholding election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award.
