Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option equal to the Option Price for the shares being purchased; or

8.        Amendment to Section 8.1.    Section 8.1 shall be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following in lieu thereof: 
 “Section 8.1. 

 

	 	(a)	 On the occurrence, within one (1) year following a Change in Control Event as defined in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.1, of
(i) a Termination by the Company, other than a Termination for Cause, or (ii) a Termination by the Participant with Good Reason: 


  

	 	(i)	 any Stock Appreciation Rights and any Options awarded under the Plan, if not previously exercisable and vested, shall become fully exercisable and
vested; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to any Restricted Stock Award under the Plan shall lapse and such shares and awards shall be
deemed fully vested; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 the rights to receive any Performance Units under the Plan shall become fully vested without regard to whether the applicable Participant thereafter
terminates his or her position with the Company prior to the end of the applicable Performance Period. 


  

	 	(b)	 For purposes of paragraph (a) of this Section 8.1, a “Change in Control Event” shall be as defined in Code §409A and
Section IV.B of IRS Notice 2005-1 (as such rules shall be amended and further explained from time to time). Those rules generally provide as set forth below. In the event of any conflict between the rules and the provisions set forth below, the
rules shall govern. 










	 	(i)	 Change in Ownership.        The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of IRS
Notice 2005-1, Q&A-12(b)) (a “Person”) of ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company.
However, if any Person is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person is not considered to cause a change in ownership of
the Company (or to cause a change in the effective control of the Company. An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one Person as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated
as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this paragraph. This paragraph applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Company (or issuance of stock of the Company) and stock in the Company remains outstanding after the transaction.



  

	 	(ii)	 Change in Effective Control.    (1) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of IRS Notice
2005-1, Q&A-13(d)) (a “Person”) during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person, of ownership of stock of the Company possessing 35% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the
Company; or (2) the replacement of a majority of members of the Board during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or
election, provided that for purposes of this paragraph, the term Company shall be as defined in IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-11 and -13. 


  

	 	(iii)	 A change in effective control also may occur in any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction has a
“Change in Ownership” or “Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets.” If any one Person is considered to effectively control the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the
same Person is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Company (or to cause a “Change in Ownership” of the Company within the meaning of paragraph (i) above. 



 

	 	(iv)	 Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of Assets.      The acquisition by any individual, entity or group
(within the meaning of IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-14(c)) (a “Person”) during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person, of assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal
to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition(s). For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets
being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. No Change in Control Event shall be deemed to have occurred in the event of a transfer to a person or entity as described in IRS Notice 2005-1,
Q&A-14(b).” 


 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be
duly executed on this 8th day of June, 2011.
