First Amendment to SCS Transportation, Inc. 2002 Substitute Stock Option and Share Award Plan

Contract Categories: Business Finance Stock Agreements
Summary

This amendment, effective June 2006, modifies the SCS Transportation, Inc. 2002 Substitute Stock Option and Share Award Plan. It grants the Board’s Compensation Committee the authority to change the terms of substitute stock option awards, including extending exercise periods, as they see fit. However, any changes that negatively affect a participant’s rights require that participant’s consent. The amendment aims to provide greater flexibility in managing employee stock awards while protecting participants from adverse changes without their agreement.
