The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan (including with respect to setting terms and conditions of further voluntary deferral of Awards beyond the delivery date) and to make such determinations and interpretations and to take such action in connection with the Plan and any Award granted thereunder as it deems necessary or advisable.

the grantee thereof with the consent of the Committee or at the election of the Committee and (C) Awards may be settled by the Company or any of its designees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards (including grants to members of the Board who are not employees of the Company) or administer the Plan, in which case the Board shall have all of the authority and responsibility granted to the Committee herein.

1.4 Persons Eligible for Awards

     1.4.1 Awards under the Plan shall be made to each new member of the Board upon the later of (i) their election to service as a member of the Board after December 31, 2002; and (ii) the adoption of this plan by the stockholders (a “ New Director ”).

     1.4.2 Awards under the Plan shall be made to Electing Directors (as defined below) on the date on which they otherwise would be entitled to receive a cash payment (the “ Cash Payment Date ”) in respect of their annual retainer for their services on the Board (including, if applicable, as “Lead Director”) and, to the extent applicable, on any committees thereof (the “ Annual Retainer ”), which annual retainer is payable quarterly in arrears. An “ Electing Director ” is any member of the Board who, with respect to a particular taxable year has made an election to have all of his or her Annual Retainer for services performed in such taxable year paid in the form of Awards under the Plan, rather than in the form of quarterly cash payments as described above. Such election must be in a form approved by the Committee and must be delivered to the Committee (or a person designated by the Committee to receive such election) prior to the end of the preceding taxable year or as otherwise prescribed by law; provided , however , that during the first taxable year during which any member of the Board is eligible to elect to receive Awards under this Section 1.4.2, such election may be made within thirty days of the “ Eligibility Date ” with respect to services to be performed subsequent to the election but during such taxable year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for an election to be effective with respect to a quarter during the first taxable year in which a member of the Board is eligible to participate hereunder, such election must be made prior to the start of such quarter, which means that in the case of individuals who are members of the Board on March 16, 2005, such election must be made on or prior to March 31, 2005 in order for such election to be effective with respect to that portion of the Annual Retainer earned during the second quarter of 2005.
