The Company’s chief executive officer shall determine the value of any stock option grant made in lieu of a bonus payment, which value shall not, in any event, be: (i) greater than the Substituted Amount or (ii) less than the amount such Participant would have received had the foregoing stock option grant not been made and the normal bonus “scoring” methodology been applied to the Substituted Amount, provided that such amount shall not exceed the Substituted Amount. The value of such stock option grant shall be included in a Grandfathered Participant’s compensation in the calendar year in which the bonus (which the stock option was granted in lieu of) would have otherwise been paid or accrued. The value (on the date that restrictions lapse) of a Grandfathered Participant’s restricted stock with restrictions lapsing during the Company’s fiscal year that begins during the applicable calendar year shall be included in the Participant’s compensation for such calendar year; provided that, in the case of restricted stock that is includable in a Participant’s compensation for calendar year 2007, the value of such restricted stock will be determined by multiplying (a) the price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date the restrictions thereon lapse (determined consistently with past practice), by (b) the number resulting from multiplying the aggregate number of includable restricted shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the “last trade” price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately prior to the date the Spin-off occurs and the denominator of which is the “first trade” price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date on which the Spin-off has occurred.
