Upon any such automatic exercise, the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes shall, unless the Committee provides otherwise, be paid in the form of a reduction in the number of shares issuable upon such exercise.
2. Effect on Plan. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms.
