SECTION 4. Stock Subject to Plan
4.1 The total
number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan
shall be 9,797,578, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4.4. The amounts reflected in the prior sentence are
adjusted amounts after taking into account the Distribution as set
forth in Section 4.4 below. Such shares may consist of authorized
but unissued shares or shares that have been issued and reacquired
by the Company. The exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right for cash
or the payment of any award in cash shall not count against this
share limit.
-5-
4.2 To the
extent a Stock Option is surrendered for cash or terminates without
having been exercised, or an award terminates without the holder
having received payment of the award, or shares awarded are
forfeited, the shares subject to such award shall again be
available for distribution in connection with future awards under
the Plan. Shares of Common Stock equal in number to the shares
surrendered in payment of the option price, and shares of Common
Stock which are withheld in order to satisfy federal, state or
local tax liability shall count against the share limit set forth

4.3 No
Employee shall be granted Stock Options and/or Stock Appreciation
Rights with respect to more than 370,096 shares of Common Stock in

adjustment as provided in Section 4.4. The amounts reflected
in the prior sentence are adjusted amounts after taking into
account the Distribution as set forth in Section 4.4 below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Spinoff Awards are not awards or
grants under this Plan and shall not count against the foregoing
fiscal year award limits under this Plan.
4.4 In the
event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, sale of
substantially all assets, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock
split, spin-off, split-up, split-off, distribution of assets or
other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock such
that an adjustment is determined by the Board in its discretion to
be appropriate, after considering any accounting impact to the
Company, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits
under the Plan, then the Board shall, in such a manner as it may in
its discretion deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the
aggregate number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the
Plan, and (ii) the number and kind of shares as to which
awards may be granted to any individual in any fiscal year. In the
event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, sale of
substantially all assets, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock
split, spin-off, split-up, split-off, distribution of assets or
other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock
subject to an outstanding award, the number and kind of shares of
Common Stock or other securities which are subject to this Plan or
subject to any awards theretofore granted, and the exercise prices,
shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted by the Board so as to
maintain the proportionate number of shares or other securities
without changing the aggregate exercise price, if any.
In addition,
upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or upon any
reorganization, merger, or consolidation as a result of which the
Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation), or upon a sale of
substantially all the assets of the Company, the Board may, after
considering any accounting impact to the Company, take such action
as it in its discretion deems appropriate to (i) accelerate
the time when awards vest and/or may be exercised and/or may be
paid, (ii) cash out outstanding Stock Options and/or other
awards at or immediately prior to the date of such event,
(iii) provide for the assumption of outstanding Stock Options
or other awards by surviving, successor or transferee corporations,
(iv) provide that in lieu of shares of Common Stock of
Company, the award recipient shall be entitled to receive the
consideration he would have received in such transaction in
exchange for such shares of Common Stock (or the Fair Market Value
thereof in cash), and/or (v) provide that Stock Options shall
be exercisable for a period of at least 10 business days from the
date of receipt of a notice from the Company of such proposed
event, following the expiration of which period any unexercised
Stock Options shall terminate.
-6-
The
Board’s determination as to which adjustments shall be made
under this Section 4.4 and the extent thereof shall be final,
binding and conclusive.
4.5 No
fractional shares shall be issued or delivered under the Plan. The
Committee shall determine whether the value of fractional shares
shall be paid in cash or other property, or whether such fractional
shares and any rights thereto shall be cancelled without
payment.
