Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 16, no more than a total of 10,825,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to this Plan, and no equity awards shall be made under other Company plans after the date of shareholder approval of this most recent amendment and restatement; provided that there shall be added to the reserve of shares that are authorized and available for issuance pursuant to this Plan any shares that are currently subject to awards but as to which shares are not issued due to a forfeiture, cancellation, or other settlement thereof (except for any shares subject to inducement awards that were granted pursuant to an exemption from shareholder approval). Such Shares may be in whole or in part authorized and unissued or held by the Company as treasury shares. If any grant under this Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited as to any Shares, or is tendered or withheld as to any shares in payment of the exercise price of the grant or the taxes payable with respect to the exercise, then such unpurchased, forfeited, tendered or withheld Shares shall thereafter be available for further grants under this Plan unless, in the case of Options granted under this Plan, related SARs are exercised. Upon termination of this Plan, any remaining unpurchased, forfeited, tendered or other withheld shares that were reserved for Awards shall be released to the Company and/or otherwise considered available for issuance outside of this Plan unless otherwise specifically determined by the Board or the Company by-laws, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 or the generality of the provisions of Sections 3, 6 or 18 or any other section of this Plan, the Committee may, at any time or from time to time, and on such terms and conditions (that are consistent with and not in contravention of the other provisions of this Plan) as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine, enter into agreements (or take other actions with respect to Options) for new Options containing terms (including exercise prices) more (or less) favorable than the outstanding Options, provided that no repricing under the rules of the Market shall occur unless approved by the Company's shareholders.
