UNIT APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

7.1

In General.    The Committee may grant a Participant Unit Appreciation Rights, which permit the Participant to receive, upon exercise, the excess of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise over the exercise price for the number of Units underlying the Unit Appreciation Right exercised. For purposes of the Plan, a grant shall be considered to have been made when the Committee has fixed, for each Unit Appreciation Right, the identity of the Eligible Employee, the maximum number of Units, and the minimum exercise price; provided that there is no unreasonable delay in giving notice of the grant to the Participant. Unit Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan and may, but need not, relate to a specific Option granted under Article VI.

Any Unit Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. The provisions of Unit Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each recipient. Any such Unit Appreciation Right shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.

 

7.2

Unit Appreciation Rights Related to Options.    Any Unit Appreciation Right related to an Option shall be granted at the same time the Option is granted and shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option; provided that a Unit Appreciation Right granted with respect to less than the full number of Units covered by a related Option shall not be reduced until the exercise or termination of the related Option exceeds the number of Units not covered by the Unit Appreciation Right. Any Option related to any Unit Appreciation Right shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Unit Appreciation Right has been exercised.

 

7.3

Exercise Price.    The exercise price per Unit subject to a Unit Appreciation Right shall never be less than the Fair Market Value of the Unit on the date of grant.

 

7.4

Number of Unit Appreciation Rights.    The number of Units subject to a Unit Appreciation Right shall be fixed on or before the date of grant.

 

7.5

Term.    The term of each Unit Appreciation Right shall be fixed on the date of grant.

 

7.6

Exercisability.    Unit Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times as determined by the Committee at or subsequent to grant; provided that any extension of a Unit Appreciation Right shall result in exercise no later than the earlier of the latest date upon which the Unit Appreciation Right would have expired by its original terms or the ten (10) year anniversary of the date of grant.

 

7.7

Compensation Upon Exercise.    The compensation payable upon exercise of a Unit Appreciation Right shall not be greater than the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of exercise over the Fair

Market Value of a Unit on the date of grant times the number of Units underlying the Unit Appreciation Right exercised. Any payment by the Company in respect of such right may be made in a lump sum in cash, Units, other property, or any combination thereof, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine within thirty (30) calendar days of exercise; provided that if such thirty- (30-) day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the Participant shall have no right to designate the calendar year of payment.

 

7.8

No Deferral Feature.    No Unit Appreciation Right shall have any feature that would allow for the deferral of compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise of the Unit Appreciation Right.
