With respect to outstanding Awards of Limited Rights granted prior to December 29, 2005, the Board of Directors shall take such action as it determines to be necessary and appropriate to obtain the consent of Participants to relinquish their rights to such outstanding Limited Rights prior to December 31, 2005.
