			(t)          “Section 423 Plan” shall mean an employee stock purchase plan which is designed to meet the requirements set forth in Section 423 of the Code.

			4.         Section 4.1.  Section 4.1 of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			“4.1       An Employee who is eligible to participate in this Plan in accordance with Section 3 may become a Participant by filing and completing the appropriate form or following the procedures prescribed by the Committee, in each case, on a date prescribed by the Committee prior to an applicable Entry Date.    An eligible Employee may authorize payroll deductions at the rate of any whole percentage of the Employee’s Compensation,  not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Employee’s Compensation, or such lesser percentage as specified by the Committee as applied to an Entry Date or Option Period. An eligible Employee may authorize other contributions rather than payroll deductions to the extent permitted by the Committee for Participants in the Non-423 Plan (or the Section 423 Plan if permitted under the regulations for Section 423 of the Code). All payroll deductions may be held by the Company and commingled with its other corporate funds. Payroll deductions under the Non-423 Plan (or the Section 423 Plan if permitted under the regulations for Section 423 of the Code) may be segregated from the Company’s other corporate funds, where, as determined by the Committee, local law requires segregation of such accounts. No interest shall be paid or credited to the Participant with respect to such payroll deductions except where required by local law as determined by the Committee. Interest may be paid or credited to the Participant with respect to payroll deductions where required by local law, as determined by the Committee, for Participants in the Non-423 Plan (or the Section 423 Plan if permitted under the regulations for Section 423 of the Code).  A separate bookkeeping account for each Participant shall be maintained by the Company under this Plan and the amount of each Participant’s  payroll deductions shall be credited to such account. A Participant may not make any additional payments into such account. An actual account for each Participant  may be maintained by the Company under this Plan where required by local law, as determined by the Committee, for Participants in the Non-423 Plan (or the Section 423 Plan if permitted under the regulations for Section 423 of the Code).
		

		
			 
		

		
			5.         Section 4.3.  The following provision is hereby added immediately following Section 4.2 of the Plan:
		

		
			 
		

		
			“4.3.       Any references to payroll deductions in the Plan shall be read as references to payroll deductions or other contributions. Any references in the Plan to the payment of interest (or lack thereof) shall be read in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Plan.”

			6.         Section 5.l. The following sentence is hereby added immediately following the second sentence of Section 5.1  of the Plan:
		

		
			 
		

		
			“The Committee may also specify a Maximum Offering.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.         Section 5.5.  The following sentences are hereby added immediately following the third sentence of Section 5.5 of the Plan:
		

		
			 
		

		
			“If the total  number of shares of Common Stock for which options granted under this Plan are exercisable exceeds the Maximum Offering (if any),  the number of shares which may be purchased under options granted on the Entry Date shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in as uniform manner as shall be practicable and equitable. In this event, payroll deductions shall also be reduced or refunded accordingly.”

			Article II
		

		
			AMENDMENTS
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.         Section 2(f). Section 2(f) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			“2(f). “Compensation” shall mean an Employee’s wages or salary paid directly by (or through the payroll provider of) the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, and which are reportable as wages or other compensation on the Employee’s Form W-2 issued by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, plus pre-tax contributions of the Employee under a cash or deferred arrangement (401(k) plan) or cafeteria plan maintained by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, but excluding, however, (a) non-cash fringe benefits, (b) special payments as determined by the Committee (e.g., moving expenses, unused vacation, severance pay), (c) income from the exercise of stock options or other stock- based awards, stock purchases, or from the vesting, settlement or other event related to stock-based awards, (d) income from bonuses and (e) any other items of Compensation as determined by the Committee. Consistent with Section 13 of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to determine the application of this definition to Participants in non-United States jurisdictions, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis in accordance with Section 423 of the Code to the extent the option is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.         Section 4.4. The following provision is hereby added immediately following Section 4.3 of the Plan:

Subject to the discretion of the Committee, if a Participant goes on a leave of absence during which the Participant receives Compensation, payroll deductions from Compensation on behalf of the Participant shall continue and any amounts credited to the Participant’s individual account may be used to purchase shares of Common Stock as provided under this Plan. If a Participant goes on a
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			 
		

		
			leave of absence during which the Participant does not receive Compensation, payroll deductions taken on behalf of the Participant shall be discontinued and no other contributions shall be permitted (unless required by applicable law or otherwise determined by the Committee, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis in accordance with Section 423 of the Code to the extent the option is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code), but any amounts then credited to the Participant’s individual account may be used to purchase shares of Common Stock on the next applicable Exercise Date. Where the period of leave exceeds three months and the Participant’s right to employment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, employment will be considered to have terminated three months and one day following the commencement of such leave.”
