(c)    Terms and conditions of stock based awards (such as grant price, vesting schedule, etc.) shall be as determined by the Committee and under, and in accordance with, the terms of the Stock Plan.

(i)    Common Stock. Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below, may elect to receive, in lieu of a cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee and/or, Non-Executive Chairman Fee Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director), a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)), which is calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee and/or, Non-Executive Chairman Fee (or a portion thereof), by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable. To be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the relevant Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable.

(ii)    Restricted Stock Units. Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below, may elect to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, and/or Non-Executive Chairman Fee, Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee and/or, Non-Executive Chairman Fee (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) for services to be performed in the following the calendar year by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable.

(iii)    New Directors. Each Eligible Director who during the preceding twenty-four (24) months has not participated in any deferred compensation arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate that would be treated as a single plan with this Plan under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2)(i) and who joins the Board between annual meetings of stockholders may elect prior to first becoming an Eligible Director to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee and/or Non-Executive Chairman Fee, a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) and/or Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) up to the number which is calculated by (A) multiplying the sum of his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) payable and (B) dividing the product resulting from clause (A) by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date that the Eligible Director becomes an Eligible Director or the Quarterly Payment Date, is

To be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the date that the Eligible Director becomes a Director, and such Election Form shall be irrevocable on the date he or she first becomes an Eligible Director for that calendar year with respect to any election (or lack of election) to receive Restricted Stock Units.

(b)    Restricted Stock Units.

(i)    Account. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock Units to an Eligible Director, such units shall be credited to an account established for such Eligible Director. A Restricted Stock Unit shall be treated as granted on the corresponding Accounting Date or last day of the calendar quarter relating to the fees for which the Restricted Stock Units are determined. Each Eligible Director shall receive an annual statement showing the number of Restricted Stock Units that have been credited to the Eligible Director’s account under the Program.

(ii) Dividend Equivalent Credits. An Eligible Director’s account shall be credited with Dividend Equivalent Credits equivalent to the amount of dividends paid by the Company to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock based on the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Eligible Director’s account on the dividend record date for shares of Common Stock. Such Dividend Equivalent Credit shall be converted into an equivalent number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) based on the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the related dividend payment date and such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same distribution timing as the underlying Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Credits related. If a dividend is paid in cash, each Eligible Director shall be credited, as of each applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the following formula:

in which “A” equals the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director on the dividend record date, “B” equals the cash dividend per share and “C” equals the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. If a dividend is paid in property other than cash, Dividend Equivalent Credits shall be credited, as of the applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the formula set forth above, except that “B” shall equal the fair market value per share of the property that the Eligible Director would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director as of the dividend record date, had such shares been owned by the Eligible Director as of the record date for such dividend.

(iii)    Time of Payment. All payments in respect of an Eligible Director’s Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable but not more than ninety (90) days following the earlier of (A) the Eligible Director’s death (B) the occurrence of a Change in Control, and (C) the specific date (including upon the Eligible Director’s

Separation from Service) the Eligible Director has elected to receive payment pursuant to the applicable Election Form pursuant to which such Eligible Director elected to receive such Restricted Stock Units in lieu of cash. If distribution is to be made upon a Separation from Service and the individual is a “specified employee,” as defined under Code section 409A, on the date of such Separation from Service, then no distribution will be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of the individual’s Separation from Services, or if earlier, upon his or her death.

(iv)    Form of Payment. Payment in respect of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in one lump sum payment in the form of shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any payment made upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in full or partial payment of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in cash in an amount equal the Change in Control Price multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional units).

(c)    Stock Plan.

(i)    the consummation of a transaction or series of related transactions during a 12-month period in which a person, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Act) that owns (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) less than 35% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting stock prior to such transaction or the first of such series of related transactions), other than the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or any employee benefit plan of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, acquires ownership (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) of 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting stock (other than in connection with a Business Combination in which clauses (1) and (2) of Section 8(b) (iii) apply); or
