As permitted by law, the Committee may delegate its authority under the Plan to a Director or Employee.

Committee may, in its sole discretion, refuse or revoke Approved Retiree status or other retirement approval for such Participant, or otherwise determine that such Participant may not receive, vest in or exercise any Awards or otherwise receive Shares thereunder to the extent the Awards are not granted, vested or fully exercised, or Shares are not received, as of such determination.

Article 4. Shares Subject to the Plan and Maximum Awards

4.1 Number of Shares . Subject to Articles 4.2 and 4.3 herein, (a) no more than 185,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan, and (b) the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to any Awards (other than 1998 Conversion Awards) granted in any one fiscal year to any single Employee shall be 1,500,000.

4.2 Lapsed Awards . If any Award granted under the Plan is canceled, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, any Shares subject to such Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award under the Plan.

4.3 Adjustments in Authorized Shares and Awards . In the event of any change in corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, share combination, recapitalization, or similar event affecting the equity capital structure of the Company, or in the event the Shares shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or class of shares of stock or securities of the Company or of another corporation and/or for cash as a result of a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, acquisition of property or shares, stock rights offering, spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Code Section 368) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, or similar event affecting the Company, such adjustment shall be made in (a) the number and class of Shares which thereafter may be delivered under Article 4.1, (b) the Award limits set forth in Article 4.1, (c) the number and class of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, (d) the Exercise Price relating to any Award, and (e) the performance goals which may be applicable to any outstanding Awards, and such other equitable substitutions or adjustments may be made, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

that any Awards that are subject to Code Section 409A must not be exercised, distributed, cashed out or exchanged for value unless the transaction qualifies as a “change in control event” as described under Code Section 409A(2)(A)(v) and the regulations thereunder. Any adjustment of an ISO under clause (i) of the preceding sentence in this paragraph shall be made in such a manner so as not to constitute a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code.

5.1 Eligibility . Employees shall be eligible to participate in this Plan with respect to Awards specified in Articles 6 through 10. Non-Employee Directors shall be eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to Awards specified in Article 12.

SARs and Options may include provisions for reload of SARs and Options, respectively, exercised (in the case of Options) by the tender of Shares or the withholding of Shares with respect to the exercise of the SARs and Options. A SAR or an Option, once granted, may not thereafter be amended to change the Exercise Price.

6.2 Award Agreement . Each SAR and Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the duration of the Award, the number of Shares to which the Award pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

- 8 -


6.5 Exercise of SARs and Options . SARS and Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant.

The ability of a Participant to exercise a SAR or an Option is conditioned upon the Participant not committing any criminal offense or malicious tort relating to or against the Company, or, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, engaging in willful acts or omissions or acts or omissions of gross negligence that are or potentially are injurious to the Company’s operations, financial condition or business reputation.

6.6 Notice and Payment . SARs and Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercised by the delivery of notice of exercise to the Company by such means as the Committee shall approve from time to time, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR or Option is to be exercised, accompanied, in the case of Options, by full payment for the Shares.

The Exercise Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full either: (a) in cash or its equivalent, or (b) if permitted in the governing Award Agreement, by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Exercise Price (provided that the Shares which are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to their tender to satisfy the Exercise Price), or (c) if permitted in the governing Award Agreement, by a combination of (a) and (b).

The Committee also may allow cashless exercise as permitted under the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation T, subject to applicable securities law restrictions, or by any other means which the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law.

6.8 Restrictions on Share Transferability . The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a SAR or an Option granted under this Article 6 as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable Federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

6.9 Termination of Employment or Leave of Absence . In the event that a Participant who is an Employee, during his or her lifetime has been on leave of absence for a period of greater than twelve (12) months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be), or ceases to be an Employee of the Company or of any Subsidiary for any reason, including retirement, the portion of any SAR or Option which is not exercisable on the date on which the Participant ceased to be an Employee or has been on leave for over twelve (12) months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be) shall expire on such date and any unexercised portion thereof which was otherwise exercisable on such date shall expire unless exercised within a period of three (3) months from such date, but in no event after the expiration of the term for which the SAR or Option was granted; provided, however, that in the case of an awardee of a SAR or a NQSO who

 

- 9 -


is an “Approved Retiree” (as hereinafter defined), the SAR or NQSO shall continue to vest for up to five years from the date of retirement and said awardee may exercise such SAR or NQSO, as applicable, until the soonest to occur of (i) the expiration of such SAR or NQSO in accordance with its original term; (ii) the expiration of five (5) years from the date of retirement; or (iii) with respect to SARs or Options granted after 2005 and less than one year before the date the Approved Retiree retires, expiration of the SAR or Option on such retirement date, except not with respect to that portion of the SARs or Options equal to such number of shares multiplied by the ratio of (I) the number of days between the grant date and the retirement date inclusive, over (II) the number of days in the twelve (12) month period following the grant date. For purposes of the proviso to the preceding sentence:

(a) An “Approved Retiree” is any awardee of a SAR or an Option who (i) terminates employment by reason of a Disability, or (ii) (A) retires from employment with the Company with the specific approval of the Committee on or after such date on which the awardee has attained age fifty-five (55) and completed ten (10) Years of Service or, with respect to Options granted prior to 2006, has completed twenty (20) Years of Service, and (B) has entered into and has not breached an agreement to refrain from Engaging in Competition in form and substance satisfactory to the Committee; and

(b) If the Committee subsequently determines, in its sole discretion, that an Approved Retiree has violated the provisions of the agreement to refrain from Engaging in Competition referred to in clause (a)(ii)(B) of this Article, or has engaged in willful acts or omissions or acts or omissions of gross negligence that are or potentially are injurious to the Company’s operations, financial condition or business reputation, such Approved Retiree shall have ninety (90) days from the date of such finding within which to exercise any SARs or Options or portions thereof which are exercisable on such date, and any Options or portions thereof which are not exercised within such ninety- (90-) day period shall expire, and any SARs or Options or portion thereof which are not exercisable on such date shall be cancelled on such date.

In the event of the death of an awardee during the three (3)-month period described above for exercise of a SAR or an Option by a terminated awardee or one on leave for over twelve (12) months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be), the Option shall be exercisable by the awardee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees to the same extent and during the same period that the awardee could have exercised the SAR or Option if the awardee had not died.

Notwithstanding anything in Article 6.5 to the contrary, in the event of the death of an awardee while an Employee or Approved Retiree of the Company or any Subsidiary, an outstanding SAR or Option held by such awardee upon death shall become fully vested upon death and shall be exercisable by the awardee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees at any time prior to the expiration of one (1) year from the date of death of the awardee, but in no event after the expiration of the term for which the SAR or Option was granted.
