may deem appropriate. The Committee shall have the authority to
adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be

countries in which the Company, a subsidiary or an affiliate may

amended or successor provision) of the Exchange Act or

Code.
Any determination made by the
Committee or by one or more officers pursuant to delegated
authority in accordance with the provisions of the Plan with
respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the
Committee or such delegate, and all decisions made by the Committee
or any appropriately designated officer pursuant to the provisions
of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including
the Company and Plan Participants.

Salaried employees of the Company,

Section 4. Common Stock
Subject to the Plan.
|
(a)
|
Common Stock Available. The total
number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for
distribution pursuant to the Plan shall be 150,000,000 shares. An
amount not to exceed 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be
issued pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards, Other Stock-Based
Awards, and Incentive Awards, except that Other Stock-Based Awards
with values based on Spread Values shall not be included in this
limitation. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Award made
under the Prior Plan before the expiration of such Prior Plan shall
continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of such Prior
Plan and the applicable Award agreement. Any adjustments,
substitutions, or other actions that may be made or taken in
accordance with Section 4(b) below in connection with the
corporate transactions or events described therein shall, to the
extent applied to outstanding Awards made under the Prior Plan, be
deemed made from shares reserved for issuance under such Prior
Plan, rather than this Plan, pursuant to the authority of the Board
under the Prior Plan to make adjustments and substitutions in such
circumstances to the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved
for issuance under the Prior Plan and to Awards granted under the
Prior Plan. To the extent any Award under this Plan is exercised or
cashed out or terminates or expires or is forfeited without a
payment being made to the Participant in the form of Common Stock,
the shares subject to such Award that were not so paid, if any,
shall again be available for distribution in connection
|
5
|
|
with Awards under the Plan;
provided, however, that any shares which are available again for
Awards under the Plan also shall count against the limit described
in Section 5(b)(i). If an SAR or similar Award based on Spread
Value with respect to shares of Common Stock is exercised, the full
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Award is
measured will nonetheless be deemed distributed for purposes of
determining the maximum number of shares remaining available for
delivery under the Plan. Similarly, any shares of Common Stock that
are used by a Participant as full or partial payment of withholding
or other taxes or as payment for the exercise or conversion price
of an Award under the Plan will be deemed distributed for purposes
of determining the maximum number of shares remaining available for
delivery under the Plan.
|
|
(b)
|
Adjustments for
Certain Corporate Transactions
|
|
|
(i)
|
In the event of
any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, distribution, stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, issuance of
rights or warrants or other similar transaction or event affecting
the Common Stock in any case after adoption of the Plan by the
Board, the Committee is authorized to make such adjustments or
substitutions with respect to the Plan and the Prior Plan and to
Awards granted thereunder as it deems appropriate to reflect the
occurrence of such event, including, but not limited to,
adjustments (A) to the aggregate number and kind of securities
reserved for issuance under the Plan, (B) to the Award limits
set forth in Section 5, (C) to the Performance Goals or
Performance Cycles of any outstanding Performance-Based Awards, and
(D) to the number and kind of securities subject to
outstanding Awards and, if applicable, the grant or exercise price
or Spread Value of outstanding Awards. In addition, the Committee
may make an Award in substitution for incentive awards, stock
awards, stock options or similar awards held by an individual who
is, previously was, or becomes an employee of the Company, a
subsidiary or an affiliate in connection with a transaction
described in this Section 4(b)(i). Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan (other than the limitation set forth in
Section 4(a)), the terms of such substituted Awards shall be
as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is
appropriate.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
In connection with any of the
events described in 4(b)(i), the Committee shall also have
authority with respect to the Plan and the Prior Plan and to Awards
granted thereunder (A) to grant Awards (including Stock
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Other Stock-Based Awards)
with a grant price that is less than Fair Market Value on the date
of grant in order to preserve existing gain under any similar type
of award previously granted by the Company or another entity to the
extent that the existing gain would otherwise be diminished without
payment of adequate compensation to the holder of the award for
such diminution , and (B) except as may otherwise be
required under an applicable Award
|
6
|
|
agreement, to cancel or adjust
the terms of an outstanding Award as appropriate to reflect the
substitution for the outstanding Award of an award of equivalent
value granted by another entity. In connection with a spin-off or
similar corporate transaction, the adjustments described in this
Section 4(b) may include, but are not limited to, (C) the
imposition of restrictions on any distribution with respect to
Restricted Stock or similar Awards and (D) the substitution of
comparable Stock Options to purchase the stock of another entity or
Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock
Units or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in the securities of
another entity, which may be settled in the form of cash, Common
Stock, stock of such other entity, or other securities or property,
as determined by the Committee; and, in the event of such a
substitution, references in this Plan and the Prior Plan and in the
applicable Award agreements thereunder to “Common
Stock” or “Stock” shall be deemed (except for
purposes of Section 6(b) hereunder and for any similar
provisions of the Prior Plan or applicable Award agreements) to
also refer to the securities of the other entity where
appropriate.
