Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of Common Stock subject to an Award of Options or SARs granted under the Plan on or after November 13, 2019 may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan if such shares of Common Stock are: (i) delivered to or withheld by the Company in payment of the (x) Exercise Price or (y) taxes relating to the Options or SARs, or (ii) repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an Option exercise.

4.    Minimum Vesting Requirement. A new Section 5(f) is hereby added to the end of Section 5 of the Plan to read as follows:

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Awards (or any installment or portion thereof) granted under the Plan (other than cash-based Awards) shall vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date on which the Award is granted; provided, that the following Awards shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum vesting requirement: any (i) Awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting, and (ii) any additional Awards the Committee may grant, up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available share reserve authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 5(b) (subject to adjustment under Section 12).

5.    Stock Certificates. Section 9(b) of the Plan is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(b) Stock Certificates and Book-Entry; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate registered in the name of the Participant to be issued or shall cause share(s) of Common Stock to be registered in the name of the Participant and held in book-entry form subject to the Company’s directions and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than issued to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee

may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate stock power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute and deliver (in a manner permitted under Section 14(a) of the Plan or as otherwise determined by the Committee) an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank stock power within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to shares of Restricted Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Restricted Stock; provided, that, dividends payable on shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company and delivered (without interest) to the Participant within fifteen (15) days following the date on which the restrictions on such Restricted Stock lapse (and the right to any such accumulated dividends shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock to which such dividends relate). To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any stock certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. A Participant shall have no rights or privileges as a stockholder as to Restricted Stock Units.

6.    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Section 14(c) of the Plan is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

7.    Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, each of the capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meaning given to it in the Plan.
