Administration of the Plan

The Plan is administered by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The Committee will generally consist of two or more directors who qualify as “non-employee directors” under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as “outside directors” under Section 162(m) of the Code (so that the Company can receive a federal tax deduction for certain compensation paid under the Plan).

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee has the discretion to select the employees, consultants and non-employee directors who will be granted Awards, determine the terms and conditions of Awards (for example, the exercise price and vesting schedule), and to construe and interpret the provisions of the Plan and outstanding Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards granted to non-employee directors shall be subject to Board approval if so required by the Committee Charter. In addition, the Committee may not reprice Awards or exchange Awards for other Awards, cash or a combination thereof, without the approval of the shareholders, unless an Award is surrendered or cancelled in exchange for a different type of Award and/or cash having a total value equal to or less than the value of the surrendered or cancelled Award. The Committee may delegate all

or any part of its authority to one or more directors or officers of the Company, but only the Committee itself can make Awards to participants who are executive officers of the Company.

If an Award expires or is canceled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company for any reason, the unvested or cancelled number of Shares that were subject to the Award generally will be returned to the available pool of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Shares actually issued under the Plan or withheld to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to an Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not be available for future issuance under the Plan. Also, if the Company experiences a dividend or other distribution, merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, Share combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in its capital structure, the Committee has the discretion to make appropriate adjustments in the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, the number, class, and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the per-person numerical limits on Awards to reflect the stock dividend or other change. Shares granted under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.
