The Company may deduct from any amounts the Company may owe a Grantee from time to time any amounts the Grantee may owe the Company under this subsection (f) and any related Award Agreements.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan shall remain the same, and the Plan, as amended hereby, shall continue in full force and effect.
