Administration
 
With respect to awards made to eligible employees, the 2009 Stock Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. With respect to awards made to our non-employee directors, the 2009 Stock Plan will be administered by the Governance Committee. The respective Administrative Committee will have the sole and complete authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the operation of the 2009 Stock Plan as it deems advisable, and to interpret the terms and provisions of the 2009 Stock Plan. To the extent permitted by law, the Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more executive officers the power to make awards to participants who are not executive officers, provided that the Compensation Committee shall fix the maximum amount of such awards that its delegates can make in the aggregate and to any one participant.
 
Subject to the express terms of the 2009 Stock Plan, the respective Administrative Committee has discretion as to the specific terms and conditions of each award and any rules applicable thereto, including but not limited to the effect thereon of the death, retirement or other termination of employment or service of the participant. Awards may not be assigned or transferred, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to the participant’s immediate family and to other permitted transferees under rules established by the Administrative Committee. Incentive stock option awards may not be assigned or transferred, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution only.
 
The Compensation Committee may make grants to any of our eligible employees or any of the eligible employees of our subsidiaries, and to any natural person who provides services to us or a subsidiary as a consultant, agent, or advisor who the Compensation Committee determines to have the capacity to contribute to our success. It is anticipated that the Compensation Committee will make these determinations based on each individual’s present and potential contribution to our success. It is estimated that approximately 1,700 employees will be eligible to participate in the 2009 Stock Plan, although it is not contemplated that every eligible employee will receive each of the different types of awards available under the 2009 Stock Plan. The Governance Committee may make grants to
