No more than 7,888,876 shares of Common Stock may be issued as Restricted Stock on and after April 18, 2000. Shares of Common Stock which may satisfy Awards granted under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or authorized and issued shares of Common Stock held in the Corporation 's treasury or issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by any employee stock benefit trust established by the Corporation. (b) For purposes of paragraph (a) of this Section 3.4, shares of Common Stock that are actually issued upon exercise of an Option shall be counted against the total number of shares reserved for issuance, except that when Options are exercised by the delivery of shares of Common Stock the charge against the shares reserved for issuance shall be limited to the net new shares of Common Stock issued.

The limitation in the preceding sentence shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code. To the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, a Reload Option (A) shall be deemed to have been granted at the same time as the original underlying Option grant and (B) shall not be deemed to increase the number of shares covered by the original underlying Option. 3.5 Cancellation and Reissuance of Options. The Committee will not permit the repricing of Options by any method, including by cancellation and reissuance. 4 IV. Options 4.1 Grant. The Committee may from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan, in its discretion grant Options to Participants to purchase for cash or shares of Common Stock the number of shares of Common Stock allotted by the Committee. In the discretion of the Committee, any Options or portions thereof granted pursuant to this Plan may be designated as Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of Common Stock and any other stock of the Corporation or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate corporation with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant in any calendar year under all plans of the Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates shall not exceed $100,000 or such sum as may from time to time be permitted under Section 422 of the Code. The Committee shall also have the authority, in its discretion, to award reload option rights ("Reload Option Rights") in conjunction with the grant of Options with the effect described in Section 4.7. Reload Option Rights may be awarded either at the time an Option is granted or, except in the case of Incentive Stock Options, at any time thereafter during the term of the Option. 4.2 Option Agreements. The grant of any Option shall be evidenced by a written "Stock Option Agreement" executed by the Corporation and the Participant, stating the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option evidenced thereby and such other terms and conditions of the Option as the Committee may from time to time determine. 4.3 Option Price. The option price for the Common Stock covered by any Option granted under the Plan shall in no case be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of said Common Stock on the date of grant. Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, the option price of an Option may be paid in whole or in part by delivery to the Corporation of a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the option price or portion thereof to be paid; provided, however, that no shares may be delivered in payment of the option price of an Option unless such shares, or an equivalent number of shares, shall have been held by the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Option) for at least six months prior to such delivery. 4.4 Term of Options. The terms of each Option granted under the Plan shall be for such period as the Committee shall determine, but for not more than 10 years from the date of grant thereof. Each Option shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in Sections 4.6 and 5.4 hereof. 4.5 Exercise of Options. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable on such date or dates during the term thereof and for such number of shares of Common Stock as may be provided in the Stock Option Agreement evidencing its grant. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Agreement or otherwise, the Committee may change the date on which an outstanding Option becomes exercisable; provided, however, that an exercise date designated in a Stock Option Agreement may not be changed to a later date without the consent of the holder of the Option. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, unless expressly provided to the contrary in the applicable Stock Option Agreement, all Options granted under the Plan shall become fully exercisable immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event. 4.6 Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement: (a) If termination of employment of a Participant occurs on or after age 55 and the Participant is credited with at least five years of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, the Participant shall have the right to exercise his or her Options within the period of two years after such termination, to the extent such Options were exercisable at the time of such termination; provided, however, that such post-termination exercise period may be extended by action of the Committee for up to the full term of such Options. (b) If a Participant shall die while employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate or within a period following termination of employment during which the Option remains exercisable under paragraphs (a), (c) or (d) of this Section 4.6, his or her Options may be exercised to the extent exercisable by the Participant at the time of his or her death within a period of two years from the date of death by the executor or administrator of the Participant's estate or by the person or persons to whom the Participant shall have transferred such right by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 5 (c) If termination of employment of a Participant is by reason of the disability of the Participant covered by a long-term disability plan of the Corporation or an Affiliate then in effect, the Participant shall have the right to exercise his or her Options within the period of two years after the date of termination of employment, to the extent such Options were exercisable at the time of termination of employment. (d) In the event the employment of a Participant is terminated by the Corporation or an Affiliate without cause within two years after the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, the Participant shall have the right to exercise his or her Options within one year after the date such termination occurred, to the extent such Options were exercisable at the time of such termination of employment. For purposes of this paragraph, "without cause" shall mean any termination of employment where it cannot be shown that the employee has (i) willfully failed to perform his or her employment duties for the Corporation or an Affiliate, (ii) willfully engaged in conduct that is materially injurious to the Corporation or an Affiliate, monetarily or otherwise, or (iii) committed acts that constitute a felony under applicable federal or state law or constitute common law fraud. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Participant's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him or her not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interest of the Corporation or Affiliate. (e) In the event all employment of a Participant with the Corporation or an Affiliate is terminated for any reason other than as stated in the preceding paragraphs (a) - (d), his or her Options shall terminate upon such termination of employment. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Option granted hereunder be exercisable after the expiration of its term. 4.7 Reload Option Rights. Reload Option Rights if awarded with respect to an Option shall entitle the original grantee of the Option (and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its discretion, only such original grantee), upon exercise of the Option or any portion thereof through delivery of shares of Common Stock, automatically to be granted on the date of such exercise an additional Option (a "Reload Option") (i) for that number of shares of Common Stock not greater than the number of shares delivered by the Participant in payment of the option price of the original Option and any withholding taxes related thereto, (ii) having an option price not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by the Reload Option on the date of grant of such Reload Option, (iii) having an expiration date not later than the expiration date of the original Option so exercised and (iv) otherwise having terms permissible for the grant of an Option under the Plan. Subject to the preceding sentence and the other provisions of the Plan, Reload Option Rights and Reload Options shall have such terms and be subject to such restrictions and conditions, if any, as shall be determined, in its discretion, by the Committee. In granting Reload Option Rights, the Committee, may, in its discretion, provide for successive Reload Option grants upon the exercise of Reload Options granted hereunder. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its discretion, Reload Option Rights shall entitle the Participant to be granted Reload Options only if the underlying Option to which they relate is exercised by the Participant during employment with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or required by the context, the term Option as used in this Plan shall include Reload Options granted hereunder. V. SARs 5.1 Grant. SARs may be granted by the Committee as stand-alone SARs or in tandem with all or any part of any Option granted under the Plan. SARs which are granted in tandem with an Option may be granted either at the time of the grant of such Option or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, at any time thereafter during the term of such Option. 5.2 SAR Agreements. The grant of any SAR shall be evidenced by the related Stock Option Agreement or by a written "Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement" executed by the Corporation and the Participant, stating the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the SAR, the base price of a stand-alone SAR and such other terms and conditions of the SAR as the Committee may from time to time determine. The base price for stand-alone SARs (the "base price") shall be such price as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock covered by the stand-alone SAR on the date of grant. 6 5.3 Payment. SARs shall entitle the Participant upon exercise to receive the amount by which the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise exceeds the option price of any tandem Option or the base price of a stand-alone SAR, multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the SAR shall have been exercised. In the sole discretion of the Committee, the Corporation may pay all or any part of its obligation arising out of a SAR exercise in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock or (iii) cash and shares of Common Stock. Payment shall be made by the Corporation as soon as practicable after the date of exercise. 5.4 Exercise of Tandem Award. If SARs are granted in tandem with an Option (i) the SARs shall be exercisable at such time or times and to such extent, but only to such extent, that the related Option shall be exercisable, (ii) the exercise of the related Option shall cause a share for share reduction in the number of SARs which were granted in tandem with the Option; and (iii) the payment of SARs shall cause a share for share reduction in the number of shares covered by such Option. 5.5 Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement: (a) If termination of employment of a Participant occurs on or after age 55 and the Participant is credited with at least five years of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, the Participant shall have the right to exercise his or her stand-alone SARs within the period of two years after such retirement, to the extent such SARs were exercisable at the time of retirement; provided, however, that such post-retirement exercise period may be extended by action of the Committee for up to the full term of such SARs. (b) If a Participant shall die while employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate thereof or within a period following termination of employment during which the SARs remain exercisable under paragraphs (a), (c) or (d) of this Section 5.5, his or her stand-alone SARs may be exercised to the extent exercisable by the Participant at the time of his or her death within a period of two years from the date of death by the executor or administrator of the Participant's estate or by the person or persons to whom the Participant shall have transferred such right by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. (c) If termination of employment of a Participant is by reason of the disability of the Participant covered by a long-term disability plan of the Corporation or an Affiliate then in effect, the Participant shall have the right to exercise his or her stand-alone SARs within the period of two years after the date of termination of employment, to the extent such SARs were exercisable at the time of termination of employment. (d) In the event all employment of a Participant with the Corporation or an Affiliate is terminated without cause within two years after the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, the Participant shall have the right to exercise his or her stand-alone SARs within one year after the date such termination occurred, to the extent such stand-alone SARs were exercisable at the time of such termination of employment. For purposes of this paragraph, "without cause" shall have the meaning provided in Section 4.6(d). (e) In the event all employment of a Participant with the Corporation or an Affiliate is terminated for any reason other than as stated in the preceding paragraphs (a) - (d), his or her stand-alone SARs shall terminate upon such termination of employment. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a stand-alone SAR granted hereunder be exercisable after the expiration of its term. VI. Performance Units 6.1 Grant. The Committee may from time to time grant one or more Performance Units to eligible employees. Performance Units shall represent the right of a Participant to receive shares of Common Stock or cash at a future date upon the achievement of Performance Goals which are established by the Committee. 6.2 Performance Unit Agreements. The grant of any Performance Unit shall be evidenced by a written "Performance Unit Agreement", executed by the Corporation and the Participant stating the amount of cash and/or number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Performance Unit and such other terms and conditions of the Performance Unit as the Committee may determine, including the performance period to be covered by the award and the Performance Goals to be achieved. 6.3 Payment. After the completion of a performance period, performance during such period shall be measured against the Performance Goals set by the Committee. If the Performance Goals are met or exceeded, the Committee shall certify that fact in writing in the Committee minutes or elsewhere and certify the amount to be paid to the Participant under the Performance Unit. In the sole discretion of the Committee, the Corporation may pay all or any part of its obligation under the Performance Unit in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock or (iii) cash and shares of Common Stock. Payment shall be made by the Corporation as soon as practicable after the certification of achievement of the Performance Goals. 6.4 Termination of Employment. To be entitled to receive payment under a Performance Unit, a Participant must remain in the employment of the Corporation or an Affiliate through the end of the applicable performance period; except that this limitation shall not apply where a Participant 's employment is terminated by the Corporation or an Affiliate without cause (as defined in Section 4.6(d)) following the occurrence of a Change in Control Event. 6.5 Maximum Cash Payment. The maximum amount that may be paid in cash or in Fair Market Value of Common Stock (to be valued no later than three days after the date the Committee certifies the achievement of the Performance Goals) under all Performance Units paid to any one Participant during a calendar year shall in no event exceed $1,000,000. VII. Deferred Cash Incentive Awards 7.1 Granting of Deferred Cash Incentive Awards. Deferred Cash Incentive Awards, as hereafter described, may be granted in conjunction with all or any part of any Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) granted under the Plan, either at the time of the grant of such Option or at any time thereafter during the term of such Option. 7.2 Deferred Cash Incentive Agreements. Deferred Cash Incentive Awards shall entitle the holder of an Option to receive from the Corporation an amount of cash equal to the aggregate exercise price of all Options exercised by such Participant in accordance with the terms of a written "Deferred Cash Incentive Agreement" executed by the Corporation and the Participant. Deferred Cash Incentive Agreements shall specify the conditions under which Deferred Cash Incentive Awards become payable, the conditions under which Deferred Cash Incentive Awards are forfeited and any other terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time determine. Under no circumstances may a Deferred Cash Incentive Award be applied to any purpose other than the payment of the exercise price of a properly exercised related Option. 7.3 Pre-established Performance Goals. (a) Except in the event of (i) death, (ii) disability of the Participant covered by a long-term disability plan of the Corporation or an Affiliate then in effect or (iii) the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, any Deferred Cash Incentive Award shall only be earned and become payable if the Corporation achieves Performance Goals which are established for a calendar year or longer period by the Committee. After the completion of a performance period, performance during such period shall be measured against the Performance Goals set by the Committee. If the Performance Goals are met or exceeded, the Committee shall certify that fact in writing in the Committee minutes or elsewhere. (b) The amount payable to a Participant upon achieving the Performance Goals set by the Committee for the Deferred Cash Incentive Award shall be equal to the option price of the related Option, which shall be the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. No individual may in any calendar year receive payment of Deferred Cash Incentive Awards with respect to Options for more than 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. 7 VIII. Restricted Stock 8.1 Award of Restricted Stock. The Committee may from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as it may prescribe, grant one or more shares of Restricted Stock to eligible employees. In the discretion of the Committee, shares of Restricted Stock may be granted alone, in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. 8.2 Restricted Stock Agreements. Each award of Restricted Stock under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Restricted Stock Agreement executed by the Corporation and the Participant in such form as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time in accordance with the Plan. 8.3 Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock issued to a Participant may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as the Committee shall determine, beginning on the date on which the Award is granted (the "Restricted Period"). The Committee may also impose such other restrictions and conditions on the shares or the release of the restrictions thereon as it deems appropriate, including the achievement of Performance Goals established by the Committee. In determining the Restricted Period of an Award, the Committee may provide that the foregoing restrictions shall lapse with respect to specified percentages of the awarded shares on specified dates following the date of such Award or all at once. 8.4 Stock Certificate. As soon as practicable following the making of an award, the Restricted Stock shall be registered in the Participant's name in certificate or book-entry form. If a certificate is issued, it shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions and it shall be held by the Corporation on behalf of the Participant until the restrictions are satisfied. If the shares are registered in book-entry form, the restrictions shall be placed on the book-entry registration. Except for the transfer restrictions, and subject to such other restrictions, if any, as determined by the Committee, the Participant shall have all other rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including the right to receive dividends paid with respect to the Restricted Stock and the right to vote such shares. As soon as is practicable following the date on which transfer restrictions on any shares lapse, the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant the certificates for such shares, provided that the Participant shall have complied with all conditions for delivery of such shares contained in the Restricted Stock Agreement or otherwise reasonably required by the Corporation. 8.5 Termination of Employment. (a) Unless expressly provided to the contrary in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, all restrictions placed upon Restricted Stock shall lapse immediately upon (i) termination of the Participant's employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate if, and only if, such termination is by reason of the Participant's death, the disability of the Participant covered by a long-term disability plan of the Corporation or an Affiliate then in effect or (except where Performance Goals have been set for the Award) if such termination occurs on or after age 55 and the Participant is credited with at least five years of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate or (ii) the occurrence of a Change in Control Event. In addition, the Committee may in its discretion (except where Performance Goals have been set for the Award) allow restrictions on Restricted Stock to lapse prior to the date specified in a Restricted Stock Agreement. (b) Except as otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Agreement, upon the effective date of a termination for any reason not specified in paragraph (a) of this Section 8.5, all shares then subject to restrictions immediately shall be forfeited to the Corporation without consideration or further action being required of the Corporation. For purposes of this paragraph (b), the effective date of a Participant's termination shall be the date upon which such Participant ceases to perform services as an employee of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, without regard to accrued vacation, severance or other benefits or the characterization thereof on the payroll records of the Corporation or Affiliate. 8.6 Maximum Award. The compensation payable to a Participant upon achieving any Performance Goals set by the Committee for Restricted Stock shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock for each share of Restricted Stock that is granted. No individual Participant may in any one calendar year receive payment of a Restricted Stock Award (where Performance Goals have been set for the Award) covering more than 400,000 shares of Common Stock. 8.7 Deferred Share Award. (a) A Deferred Share Award shall entitle the Participant to receive from the Corporation a number of shares of Common Stock on a deferred payment date specified by the Participant. Participants shall be entitled to elect a Deferred Share Award as permitted by the Committee (a "Deferred Share Award Election"). (b) Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, a Deferred Share Award Election (i) may be offered only with respect to a potential Restricted Stock Award or an outstanding Restricted Stock Award with at least one year to derestriction, (ii) shall have derestriction conditions identical as nearly as practicable to those of the Restricted Stock Award, (iii) shall specify a payment commencement date and form, which may occur no earlier than January 1 of the year following termination of employment on or after age 55 with five credited years of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate and no later than January 1 of the year following age 70, in one lump sum payment or in equal annual payments over 5 or 10 years; provided, however, that payment following derestriction of the Award upon a termination of employment prior to age 55 or on or after age 55 with less than five years of credited employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate shall be made in a lump sum payment no later than March 1 of the year following such termination of employment. (c) Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, a Deferred Share Award shall entitle the Participant to receive dividend equivalents payable no earlier than the date payment is elected for the Deferred Share Award. Dividend equivalents shall be calculated on the number of shares covered by the Deferred Share Award as soon as practicable after the date dividends are payable on the Common Stock. (d) A Deferred Share Award shall be evidenced by a written Deferred Share Award Agreement executed by the Corporation and the Participant in such form as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time in accordance with the Plan. (e) Deferred Share Awards shall be subject to the same aggregate and individual limitations set under the Plan for Restricted Stock Awards and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9.7. IX. Miscellaneous 9.1 General Restriction. Each Award under the Plan shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that any listing or registration of the shares of Common Stock or any consent or approval of any governmental body, or any other agreement or consent is necessary or desirable as a condition of the granting of an Award or issuance of Common Stock or cash in satisfaction thereof, such Award may not be consummated unless such requirement is satisfied in a manner acceptable to the Committee. 9.2 Non-Assignability. No Award under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or by such other means as the Committee may approve from time to time. During the life of the Participant, such Award shall be exercisable only by such Participant or by such other persons as the Committee may approve from time to time. 9.3 Withholding Taxes. Whenever the Corporation proposes or is required to issue or transfer shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Corporation shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Corporation an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local or other withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate for such shares. Whenever under the Plan payments are to be made in cash, such payments shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local or other withholding tax requirements. 8 9.4 No Right to Employment.
