In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, special cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or similar transaction or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock as described in Section 4(c) of the Stock Plan, the provisions of such Section shall apply to the Deferred Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account.

     9. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Exhibit A) the Account of each Participant shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum in cash within five business days after the date of the Change in Control, in an amount equal to the result of multiplying (i) the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account on the Change in Control date by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Change in Control date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Change in Control involves the disposition of all of the Common Stock of the Company for cash or securities the price per share received by the holders of Common Stock shall be substituted for the Fair Market Value on the Change in Control date;if the price is paid other than solely in cash or securities with a readily determinable market value, the Board will have the sole discretion to determine the valuation of any such portion of the price per share.
     10. Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as his beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom payment under the Plan shall be paid in the event of his or her death prior to payment to the Participant of his or her Account. Any beneficiary designation may be made or changed by a Participant by a written instrument, in such form prescribed by the Committee, which is filed with the Company prior to the Participant’s death. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all designated beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Account shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.
     11. Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time in whole or in part;provided, however, that no amendment or termination shall reduce the Deferred Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account or adversely affect the rights of a Participant to such Deferred Stock Units, without the consent of the Participant (or the

Participant’s beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may be amended at any time, without the consent of any Participant (or beneficiary)if necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements, or avoid the application, of Section 409A.
     12. General Provisions

Exhibit A
     For purposes of the Plan “Change in Control” means and shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the first to occur of the events set forth below, which are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5):
          (a) Any Person or Group (as such terms are defined below) acquires stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. However, if any Person or Group is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person or Group is not considered to cause a Change in Control. An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any Person or Group as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this subsection. This paragraph applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Company (or issuance of stock of the Company) and stock in the Company remains outstanding after the transaction;
          (b) Any Person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Group) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 35% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company. However, if any Person or Group is considered to own 35% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person or Group is not considered to cause a Change in Control;
          (c) The consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination either: (i) more than 50% of the total fair market value of the stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”) or the ultimate parent corporation of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”) is represented by stock of the Company that was outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares of the Surviving Corporation or Parent Corporation into which stock of the Company was converted pursuant to such Business Combination) or (ii) 50% or more of the total voting power of Surviving Corporation or Parent Corporation is represented by stock of the Company that was outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares of the Surviving Corporation or Parent Corporation into which stock of the Company was converted pursuant to such Business Combination);
          (d) During any twelve (12) month period a majority of the individuals who were members of the Board at the beginning of such period (the “Incumbent Directors”) are replaced, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such period whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy

- 7 -


 

statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director;
             (e) Any Person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Group) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. However, no Change in Control shall be deemed to occur under this paragraph as a result of a transfer to:
      (i) A stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;
      (ii) An entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;
      (iii) A Person or Group that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company; or
      (iv) An entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in clause (iii) above.
     For purposes of this Section, the term “Person” shall mean an individual, corporation, association, joint stock company, business trust or other similar organization, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or government or agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof. The term “Group” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), or any successor thereto in effect at the time a determination of whether a Change of Control has occurred is being made.
