Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an
adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the
Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of
(i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) which thereafter may

payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been
made.(iv)
    
    Reload Options. The Committee may grant Reload Options, separately or together
with another Option, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions established
by the Committee, the Participant would be granted a new Option when the payment of the
exercise price of a previously granted option is made by the delivery of Shares owned
by the Participant pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii) hereof or the relevant provisions of
another plan of the Company, and/or when Shares are tendered or withheld as payment of
the amount to be withheld under applicable income tax laws in connection with the
exercise of an Option, which new Option would be an Option to purchase the number of
Shares not exceeding the sum of (A) the number of Shares so provided as consideration
upon the exercise of the previously granted option to which such Reload Option relates
and (B) the number of Shares, if any, tendered or withheld as payment of the amount to
be withheld under applicable tax laws in connection with the exercise of the option to
which such Reload Option relates pursuant to the relevant provisions of the plan or
agreement relating to such option. Reload Options may be granted with respect to
Options previously granted under the Plan or options previously granted under any other
stock option plan of the Company or may be granted in connection with any Option
granted under the Plan or options granted under any other stock option plan of the

price equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the date of grant of the new
Option, provided that the per Share exercise price may be set below Fair Market Value
by an amount determined necessary or appropriate by the Committee to satisfy applicable
requirements of law or government regulation. Any Reload Option shall be subject to
availability of sufficient Shares for grant under the Plan. Shares surrendered as part
or all of the exercise price of the Option to which it relates that have been owned by
the optionee less than six months will not be counted for purposes of determining the
number of Shares that may be purchased pursuant to a Reload Option.

period before or after the date of exercise) over (ii) the grant price (as the same may be
adjusted under Section 4(c) of the Plan) per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right as

 (a)
    
    No Rights to Awards.No Eligible Person, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to
be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of
Eligible Persons, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms
and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect
to different Participants.(b)

unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Company
and, if requested by the Company, signed by the Participant and delivered to the Company.(c)
    
    No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the
Company or any of its Affiliates from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional
compensation plans or arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable
or applicable only in specific cases.(d)
    
    No Right to Employment.The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant
the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor will it
affect in any way the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the
employment of any Participant in its or their employ at any time, with or without cause. In
addition, the Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time dismiss a Participant in its or
their employ from employment free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless

(e)
    
    Governing Law.The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, any Award Agreement or any
Award, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award,
shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware which shall be the
proper law thereof notwithstanding any rules regarding conflict of laws therein contained
under which any other law would be made applicable.(f)
    
    Severability.If any provision of the Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award is or becomes or
is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the
Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, then
 (i)
    
    such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable
laws, or(ii)
    
    if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of
the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan, the Award
Agreement or the Award, such provision shall be stricken,
 but only as to each jurisdiction, Award Agreement and Award so affected, and the Plan, as
well as each Award Agreement and Award so affected, shall otherwise remain in full force and
effect in accordance with its original terms.(g)
    
    No Trust or Fund Created.Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to
create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or
any of its Affiliates and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person
acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any of its Affiliates pursuant to an
Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the
Company or any such Affiliate.(h)
    
    No Fractional Shares.No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan
or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash shall be paid in lieu of any
fractional Share or whether such fractional Share or any rights thereto shall be canceled,
terminated or otherwise eliminated.(i)
    
    Headings.Headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or
relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.(j)
    
    Other Benefits. No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any Participant in the
employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates under the Plan shall be included for the
purpose of computing such Participants compensation under any compensation-based retirement,
disability or similar plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates unless required by law or
otherwise provided by such other plan.
