A Non-Employee Director may elect to defer all (but not less than all) of (i) his or her Fees and/or (ii) Awards of Restricted Stock under Article III, by conversion to Options in accordance with this Section 2.2 (“Replacement Options”). A Non-Employee Director who wishes to receive Fees or a Restricted Stock Award for a Plan Year in the form of Replacement Options must irrevocably elect to do so during the Options Election Period for such Plan Year, by delivering a valid Election Form to the Committee or the plan administrator. A Non-Employee Director’s participation in Section 2.2 of the Plan will be effective as of June 13, 1997 with respect to the Fees and Restricted Stock Awards for Plan Year 1998 and, in all other cases, as of the first day of the Plan Year beginning after the Committee or the plan administrator receives the Non-Employee Director’s Election Form.
(b) Irrevocable, Annual Election. Elections to receive Replacement Options are irrevocable and shall be valid only for one Plan Year. New elections must be made for participation in Section 2.2 of the Plan for subsequent Plan Years.
(c) Time of Grant. Options shall be granted to each Non-Employee Director who, during the applicable Options Election Period, filed with the Committee or the plan administrator a written irrevocable election to receive Replacement Options as payment of his or her Fees and/or Restricted Stock Award payable in the following Plan Year. Such Replacement Options will be granted on June 13, 1997 in the case of Plan Year 1998 and, in the case of any other Plan Year, on the first business day in the Plan Year for which such election was made.
(d) Number of Options. If Replacement Options are to be granted in lieu of Fees, the number of Replacement Options to be granted will be calculated by dividing (i) the estimated Fees payable to such participant during the Plan Year, based on the number of scheduled meetings during the Plan Year, by (ii) 45% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and rounding such quotient up to the nearest whole share. If Replacement Options are to be granted in lieu of Restricted Stock Awards, the number of Replacement Options to be granted will be calculated by dividing (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of grant of the Replacement Options) of the shares of Restricted Stock that otherwise would be granted, by (ii) 45% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and rounding such quotient up to the nearest whole share.
(e) Exercise Price. The total price paid per Share under each Replacement Option granted under this Section 2.2 shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant.
(f) Term and Exercise of Replacement Options. The term of a Replacement Option shallexpire ten (10) years from the date of grant. After a Participant ceases to serve as a director of the Company (or of any Participating Subsidiary) for any reason, including, without limitation, Retirement, death, Disability or any other voluntary or involuntary termination of a Participant’s service as such a director (a “Termination”), the unexercised portion of any outstanding Replacement Options held by such Participant shall terminate and be null and void for all purposes after three (3) years have elapsed from the date of the Termination unless extended by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise period extend beyond the expiration of the original Option term.
(g) Vesting. Replacement Options shall become exercisable in whole or in part on the date of grant. In no event, however, shall a Replacement Option be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of grant.
2.3 Discretionary Options
In addition to Annual Options and Replacement Options, the Committee is authorized, in its discretion from time to time, to grant Options to Non-Employee Directors on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under a Discretionary Option shall be determined by the Committee.
(b) Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which a Discretionary Option may be exercised in whole or in part. The Committee also shall determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of a Discretionary Option may be exercised. The Committee may waive any exercise provisions at any time in whole or in part based upon factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion so that the Discretionary Option becomes exerciseable at an earlier date.
2.4 Terms Applicable to Options Generally
(a) Nonqualified Stock Options. Options granted under the Plan will not be treated as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.
(b) Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be specified by the Committee.
(c) Notice of Exercise. When exercisable pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the governing Award Agreement, an Option shall be exercised by the Participant as to all or part of the shares subject to the Option by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company at its principal business office or suchother office as the Company may from time to time direct, (a) specifying the number of shares to be purchased, (b) accompanied by acheck payable to the Company in an amount equal to the full exercise price of the number of shares being exercised, (c) including a Tax Election, if applicable, in accordance with Section 4.7, and (d) containing such further provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Company may from time to time prescribe.
(d) Limitation of Exercise Periods. The Committee may limit the time periods within which an Option may be exercised if a limitation on exercise is deemed necessary in order to effect compliance with applicable law.
(e) Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, or other property (including “cashless exercise” arrangements), and the methods by which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants; provided, however, that if shares of Common Stock are used to pay the exercise price of an Option, such shares must have been held by the Participant for at least six months.
(f) Beneficiaries. A Participant, by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from time to time change such designation) including his or her legal representative, who, by reason of his or her death, shall acquire the right to exercise all or a portion of an Option. If no designation ismadebefore the death of the Participant, the Participant’s Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate, or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such Option by will or the laws of descentand distribution. If the person with exercise rights desires to exercise any portion of the Option, such person must do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan.
(g) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Change in Control has occurred, then all Options granted under the Plan shall immediately become exercisable on the date such Change in Control occurred, in accordance with Section 4.11.
