WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Company considers it in the best interests of the Company to amend the Plan as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 27(b) of the Plan, the Plan is hereby amended, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Basic Limitation*. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued in connection with Options, SARs, Stock Units, Restricted Shares and Performance Awards under the Plan as of the Amendment Effective Date shall be 4,410,758 Shares, which consists of (i) 410,758 Shares that were available for issuance under the Plan as of the Amendment Effective Date and (ii) 4,000,000 additional Shares.
