Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), at an exercise price of $38.15 per share, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Incentive Stock Option Agreement (the “2005 Agreement”) and the Plan; and

          (b) on March 3, 2006, an option to purchase 2,304 shares of its common stock under the Plan at an exercise price of $43.39 per share, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Incentive Stock Option Agreement (the “2006 Agreement”) and the Plan; and

          WHEREAS, as of August 20, 2007, the Company assumed the sponsorship of the Plan and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has the authority to determine the terms and conditions of the Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the Employee’s termination of employment with the Company (other than due to death, Disability or Cause) shall constitute “retirement” under the Plan; and

          WHEREAS, the Committee and the Employee desire to amend the Agreements to make certain changes with regard to the vesting and exercise provisions of each Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of October 27, 2008, each Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

     1. Section 2(b)(i) of each Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

     “(i) Termination due to Death, Disability or Retirement. In the event the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates on account of death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), the Option shall terminate as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment, except for the portion of the Option which is exercisable as of the date of termination of employment, which shall terminate three months following the date of Employee’s death or Disability. In the event the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates on account of retirement, the Option shall fully vest and become exercisable as of the date of termination of employment, and shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (provided, however, that in the event the Option is exercised more than three months after the date of the Employee’s termination of employment on account of retirement, the Option shall not be treated as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code).”

     2. Each Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, as amended by this Amendment, is hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this effective as of October 27, 2008.
