In the event a Change of Control is not a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A, RSU Awards that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control shall remain an outstanding obligation of the Company or the Successor Company, as the case may be, and will be converted into a contractual right to receive a cash payment (a Cash Payment Right) in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSU Awards on the effective date of the Change of Control. After such conversion, no interest or dividend equivalents will be accrued, credited or paid with respect to a Cash Payment Right.

After June 30, 2009, a non-executive Director serving as Chairman of the Board shall be paid an additional annual retainer of
Page 4 of 7
$80,000. In addition, the Chairs of the Audit and Compliance Committee, Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee shall each be paid an additional annual retainer of $15,000, $10,000 and $10,000, respectively; provided that, during the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2009, the Chairman of the Board, when also acting in the capacity of the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee, shall not receive any additional retainer. For the avoidance of doubt, after June 30, 2009, the Chairman of the Board, when also acting in the capacity of the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee, shall also be eligible to receive the additional retainer for his or her service as Chair of such Committee.
(b) | Meeting Fees |
Each Director shall automatically receive an attendance fee of $2,000 for his or her attendance at the following meetings:
(i) each physical or telephonic meeting of a committee of the Board of which that Director is a member;
(ii) each physical or telephonic meeting of the Board; and
(iii) each special meeting, physical or telephonic, of a committee of the Board of which that Director is not a member, if his or her attendance is required for the business of such meeting.
(c) | Payment of Fees |
Except as otherwise set forth above, all retainer fees and meeting fees shall be paid in cash quarterly, after the end of the quarter in which earned. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise set forth above, Directors may elect to receive any retainer fees and meeting fees in shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(d) below or may defer retainer fees and meeting fees into cash or stock accounts under the Deferred Compensation Plan.
(d) | Share Election and Issuance of Shares |
(i) Share Election. A Director may make a share election (Share Election) to receive in the form of Common Stock all of his or her retainer fees or meeting fees earned in each calendar year that are otherwise payable in cash. The shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) issuable pursuant to a Share Election shall be issued quarterly in accordance with Section 4(d)(ii). The Share Election must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Company on or prior to December 31 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the applicable retainer fees or meeting fees are to be earned; provided, however, that any Director who commences service on the Board on or subsequent to January 1 of a calendar year may make a Share Election during the 30-day period immediately following the commencement of his or her directorship. A Share Election, once made, shall be irrevocable for the calendar year with respect to which it is made and shall remain in effect for future calendar years, unless revoked in writing or modified by a subsequent Share Election with respect to future calendar years. Such subsequent Share Election must be made on or prior to December 31 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which such revocation shall take effect and in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(ii) Issuance of Shares. Shares of Common Stock issuable to a Director pursuant to this Section 4 shall be issued to such Director on the first business day following the end of each calendar quarter. The total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing (x) the dollar amount of the Directors retainer fees and meeting fees for the preceding calendar quarter to which a Share Election applies by (y) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date such retainer fees or meeting fees would otherwise have been paid in cash. In no event shall the Company be required to issue fractional shares. In the
Page 5 of 7
event that a fractional share of Common Stock would otherwise be required to be issued, an amount in lieu thereof shall be paid in cash based on the Fair Market Value of such fractional share on the last business day of the preceding calendar quarter.
6. | Change of Control |
Upon a Change of Control, (a) all Options outstanding as of the date of such Change of Control, and which are not then exercisable and vested, shall immediately become fully exercisable and vested; (b) the restrictions applicable to any restricted deferred stock unit shall lapse, and such restricted deferred stock unit grants shall become free of all restrictions and become fully vested and transferable; and (c) fees earned in respect of the calendar quarter in which the Change of Control occurs shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable. Upon a Change of Control, RSU Awards shall be treated as set forth in Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(d) of the Program.
7. | Amendment |
The Board may amend the provisions contained herein in such respects as it deems advisable. Any such amendment shall not, without the consent of the Director, impair or diminish any rights of a Director or any rights of the Company under an Award.
Provisions of the Plan (including any amendments) not discussed above, to the extent applicable to Directors, shall continue to govern the terms and conditions of Awards granted to Directors.
