A quorum is the minimum number of stockholders who must be
present or voting by proxy in order to conduct business at the
meeting. A majority of the outstanding shares, whether present
in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at
the Annual Meeting. Shares represented by proxies marked to
&#147;abstain&#148; from voting for a proposal or to
&#147;withhold&#148; voting for one or more nominees and broker
non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence
of a quorum.

The Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) is divided into
three classes, whose terms expire at successive annual meetings.
Accordingly, at the Annual Meeting, four directors will be
elected for terms expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
of the Company in 2009. The Board, on recommendation of the
Governance Committee, has nominated Jeffrey P. Black,
Sigismundus W.W.&nbsp;Lubsen, Judith M. von Seldeneck and Harold
L. Yoh III for election for three-year terms. In addition,
Lennox K. Black has advised the Board of his intention to retire
from the Board, effective upon the election of his successor at
the Annual Meeting. The Board has determined to submit to
stockholders its nominee to fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of Mr.&nbsp;L.K.&nbsp;Black and, on recommendation
of the Governance Committee, has nominated John J. Sickler, Vice
Chairman of the Company, for election for the remaining two
years in Mr.&nbsp;L. K. Black&#146;s term.

Lennox Black has been associated with the Company for over 47
years. During his tenure, Mr. Black served as the President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company from 1971 to 1994, and
again from January 2000 to May 2002. Mr. Black has been a member
of the Board since 1971 and has served as Chairman of the Board
since 1982. The Board and the Company are profoundly grateful
for the leadership and valuable contributions Mr. Black has
provided over his many years of service.

The persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote properly
executed proxies for the election of Mrs.&nbsp;von Seldeneck and
Messrs.&nbsp;J.P. Black, Lubsen, Yoh and Sickler. The Company
does not anticipate that any nominee will be unable or unwilling
to stand for election, but if that happens, the proxies may be
voted for one or more substitute nominees designated by the
Board, or the Board may decide to reduce the number of directors.

Mrs.&nbsp;von&nbsp;Seldeneck and Messrs.&nbsp;J.P. Black, Lubsen

by the stockholders of the Company. Mr.&nbsp;Sickler is a new
nominee standing for election as director in the class having a

    academic, government or other experience which is relevant to
    the business and operations of the Company. In addition,
    directors must be able to devote substantial time to the affairs
    of the Company. The charter of the Governance Committee provides
    that in evaluating nominees, the Governance Committee should
    consider the attributes set forth above. Under the
    Company&#146;s Corporate Governance Principles, a director must
    retire from the Board at the expiration of his or her term
    following attainment of age&nbsp;70, except in special
    circumstances which shall be described in a resolution adopted

by the Board to be independent under the rules of the NYSE and

Generally, the Audit Committee oversees and reviews with the
full Board any issues with respect to the Company&#146;s
financial statements, the structure of the Company&#146;s legal
and regulatory compliance, the performance and independence of
the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm

function. The Committee retains the Company&#146;s independent
registered public accounting firm to undertake appropriate
reviews and audits of the Company&#146;s financial statements
and its internal controls over financial reporting, determines
the compensation of the independent registered public accounting
firm, and pre-approves all of their services. The preparation of
the Company&#146;s financial statements is the responsibility of
Company management. The Audit Committee maintains oversight of
the independent registered public accounting firm by discussing
the overall scope and specific plans for their audits, the
results of their examinations, and the overall quality of the
Company&#146;s financial reporting.

management on a regular basis to discuss any significant
matters, internal audit recommendations, policy or procedural
changes, and risks or exposures, if any, that may have a
material effect on the Company&#146;s financial statements.

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
<B>COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Company&#146;s compensation philosophy with respect to
executive officers is designed to provide a competitive, largely
performance based package that is effective in attracting and
retaining highly skilled executives. Performance based
compensation encompasses both short-term goals through an annual
performance program and longer-term goals through a long-term
incentive program. Equity awards are also utilized to encourage
a long-term commitment to the Company, as well as a focus on
increasing stockholder value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 24pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In accordance with this philosophy, the Committee has determined
that it generally will seek to position both total direct
compensation (including base salary, annual bonus and long-term
incentive compensation) and total cash compensation at a level
that approximates the 65th&nbsp;percentile of such compensation
paid by a general market of several hundred large industrial and
service companies (the &#147;general market companies&#148;),
based on information provided by the Company&#146;s compensation
consultant and assuming established performance targets are met.
Because the Committee seeks to emphasize a pay-for-performance
compensation environment, base salary is generally positioned to
approximate a lower comparative level, namely the median of the
general market companies. However, the Committee may set
compensation below or above these levels as it deems
appropriate. Factors that may affect the Committee&#146;s

of 12 manufacturing companies selected by the Committee in
consultation with its compensation consultant (the &#147;peer
group&#148;), as well as individual performance. The peer group
has been used by the Committee as a secondary point of
evaluation to validate compensation decisions, and in certain
instances the Committee has adjusted compensation in response to
peer group data.

Compensation for 2005 was fixed by the Board of Directors based
upon the Committee&#146;s recommendations, which are developed
in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. In the case of
compensatory decisions regarding the Chief Executive Officer,
only the independent members of the Board participated.
Beginning in 2006, compensation for all executive officers other
than the Chief Executive Officer will be fixed by the Committee.
The Chief Executive Officer&#146;s compensation will continue to
be fixed by the independent members of the Board of Directors.

    Annual bonuses were awarded shortly after the close of 2005 to
    executive officers based largely on objective criteria. Early in
    2005, a target amount of annual bonus was fixed for each
    executive officer, subject to the achievement of specified
    performance goals. Target amounts varied from 45&nbsp;percent to
    90&nbsp;percent of an executive officer&#146;s salary for 2005,
    depending on the executive&#146;s responsibilities. For most
    executives, annual bonuses were based on the amount of the
    Company&#146;s earnings per share. For an executive officer who
    had responsibility for a specific line of business, bonuses were
    based on two equally weighted factors, earnings per share and
    &#147;asset velocity index,&#148; which is a defined measure
    relating to the management of certain operating working capital
    items. Annual bonuses could range from a threshold equal to
    50&nbsp;percent of the target award to a maximum of
    200&nbsp;percent of the target award. In addition,</TD>

    the Compensation Committee is authorized to adjust the annual
    bonus amount of an individual executive up or down by an amount
    not exceeding 20&nbsp;percent, depending upon the personal
    performance of the executive during 2005. Discretionary
    increases were provided to two executives and reflected factors
    such as the accomplishment of operational missions, including
    expansion of product lines, increase of market share and
    geographical or industry penetration, new product development,
    improvements in efficiency of operations, accomplishment of
    strategically significant corporate acquisitions and other

    Awards of long-term incentive compensation to executive officers
    in 2005 consisted of stock options and cash incentive
    opportunities. Assuming that the target performance goals
    applicable to the cash incentive portions of the awards are
    achieved, long-term incentive compensation is designed to be
    equivalent to 100&nbsp;percent to 225&nbsp;percent of an
    executive officer&#146;s salary for 2005, depending on the
    executive&#146;s responsibilities. The target amount of the cash
    incentive opportunity portion of each award equals
    35&nbsp;percent of each recipient&#146;s aggregate long-term
    incentive compensation award, while the stock option portion of
    each award (valued on the basis of a Black Scholes formula)
    equals 65&nbsp;percent. Payment of the cash incentive portions
    of the awards is based upon the extent to which the
    Company&#146;s total shareholder return during the three year
    performance period beginning with 2005 exceeds the total
    shareholder return achieved by the peer group companies.
    Specifically, the cash incentive portion can range from a
    minimum (50&nbsp;percent of target) to a maximum
    (200&nbsp;percent of target) award, depending upon the number of
    the peer group companies whose total shareholder return is
    exceeded by the Company&#146;s total shareholder return.
    &#147;Total shareholder return&#148; refers to the appreciation
    in value of a share of stock of a company from the beginning to
    the end of the specified performance period plus the aggregate
    dividends paid in respect of such share during the performance
    period.</TD>

The compensation for 2005 of Jeffrey P. Black, President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, included salary, annual
bonus and long-term compensation consisting of stock options and
a cash incentive opportunity award. Mr.&nbsp;Black&#146;s salary
for 2005 was $750,000, reflecting a $50,000 increase from the
$700,000 salary that had been in effect in 2004. The increase
was deemed appropriate based on the Committee&#146;s principle
that salaries should be competitive with the median of the
general market companies for comparable executives.
Mr.&nbsp;Black&#146;s annual incentive bonus for 2005 was
$877,500 (130&nbsp;percent of the target amount) and was based
exclusively on the Company&#146;s earnings per share for 2005.
The long-term incentive compensation award to Mr.&nbsp;Black
consisted of an option to purchase&nbsp;55,875&nbsp;shares of
common stock and a target cash opportunity award in the amount
of $590,625, subject to the Company&#146;s achievement of
performance goals based on total stockholder return during the
2005-2007 performance period. In determining the amount of
Mr.&nbsp;Black&#146;s long-term incentive compensation award,
the Committee applied the principles described above.

Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits to
$1&nbsp;million the deductibility of compensation received in a
year by each of the Company&#146;s five most highly compensated
executive officers, exclusive of compensation that qualifies as
&#147;performance-based&#148; or falls within other exceptions
provided in the statute. While awards of stock options under the
Company&#146;s Stock Compensation Plan may be made on terms that
will qualify for the exception from the deductibility limit,
cash incentives provided in the past generally will not qualify
(although, as noted below, stockholder approval of the proposed
Teleflex Incorporated Executive Incentive Plan would facilitate
the deductibility of bonus awards and the cash portion of
long-term incentive awards to the extent they satisfy certain
conditions). The Committee retains discretion to make awards
that are not fully deductible. The Compensation paid to
Mr.&nbsp;Black in 2005 exceeded the deductible limit by
approximately $660,000.

In order to enhance the ability of the Company to qualify
performance based compensation for the exception from the
$1&nbsp;million deductibility limit, the Company is proposing
for stockholder approval the Teleflex Incorporated Executive
Incentive Plan. The plan, which is described under

In March 2006, Mr.&nbsp;Lennox K. Black announced his intention
to retire as Chairman of the Company, effective as of the date
of the Annual&nbsp;Meeting. Under the terms of his employment
agreement with the Company, Mr.&nbsp;Black is entitled to
receive payment of deferred compensation at the rate of
$100,000&nbsp;per year until 2010. Mr.&nbsp;Black&#146;s
agreement also provides that during Mr.&nbsp;Black&#146;s
lifetime, the Company will fund the premiums under a split
dollar life insurance policy maintained for the benefit of
Mr.&nbsp;Black. The Company has agreed to maintain the insurance
in an amount sufficient to provide a death benefit to
Mr.&nbsp;Black&#146;s beneficiaries of approximately
$8&nbsp;million. The Company has also agreed to pay
Mr.&nbsp;Black&#146;s income taxes in respect of the imputed
benefit of such insurance. Effective July&nbsp;20, 2002, in
accordance with the restriction on loans to executive officers
imposed under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
&#147;Act&#148;), the Company ceased making premium payments
under this policy. Once it has been determined that such
payments are permissible under the Act, the Company intends to
resume funding this policy through either a lump sum payment or
annual premium payments to be made over the remainder of
Mr.&nbsp;Black&#146;s life. Although subject to adjustment from
time to time in accordance with the policy&#146;s funding
requirements, the total remaining premiums to be funded by the
Company to allow the policy to endow are currently estimated to
be $1.6&nbsp;million. All premiums paid by the Company under
this policy are recoverable by the Company out of the benefits
payable under the policy.

Section&nbsp;16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

Compensation Plan and invested in shares of the Company&#146;s

In February 2006, the Board adopted, and recommended to the
stockholders for approval, an amendment to the Company&#146;s
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, par value
$1.00&nbsp;per share, from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">
<I>Purpose and Effect of Proposed Increase</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The authorized capital stock of the Company currently consists
of 100,000,000&nbsp;shares of common stock, and
500,000&nbsp;shares of preference stock, par value
$1.00&nbsp;per share. As of March&nbsp;7, 2006, there were
41,161,116&nbsp;shares of common stock and no shares of
preference stock issued and outstanding. In addition, as of that
date, approximately 2,332,769&nbsp;shares of common stock were
reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock
options and 908,334&nbsp;shares reserved for issuance under the
Company&#146;s stock compensation plans.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Board believes it is desirable to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock to provide the Company with
adequate flexibility in the future with respect to the issuance
of its common stock for general corporate purposes, including
payment of stock dividends, stock splits or other
recapitalizations, acquisitions, equity financings and grants of
stock options, and with respect to the establishment of reserves
for uses including employee incentive programs. The Board has no
present arrangements, agreements, commitments or understandings
with regard to the issuance of the proposed additional shares.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The additional shares of common stock to be authorized by the
proposed amendment, if and when issued, would have the same
rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently
issued and outstanding. The newly authorized shares may be
issued, from time to time, at the discretion of the Board,
subject to any further stockholder action required under law or
by the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or
any other exchange on which the Company&#146;s common stock is
then traded. The holders of the Company&#146;s common stock are
not entitled to preemptive rights. Accordingly, the issuance of
additional shares of common stock will have the effect, under
certain circumstances, of diluting the ownership, earnings per
share and voting rights of stockholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The proposed increase in the number of shares of common stock is
not intended to inhibit a change in control of the Company. The
Board is aware, however, that under certain circumstances the
issuance of common stock could discourage, or make more
difficult, efforts to obtain control of the Company. The Board
is not aware of any pending or threatened efforts to acquire
control of the Company and is not recommending this proposal as
part of an anti-takeover strategy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">

If this proposal is approved, a Certificate of Amendment will be
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
amending the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation by
amending and restating Article&nbsp;FOURTH in its entirety to
state the following:

On February&nbsp;22, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the
adoption of the Teleflex Incorporated Executive Incentive Plan
(the &#147;EIP&#148;). The Company is seeking stockholder
approval, which, under the terms of the EIP, is required with
respect to all awards granted subsequent to January&nbsp;1, 2006
and with regard to the long-term incentive award granted to the
Chief Executive Officer in 2005.

The EIP provides for annual and long-term incentive awards to
the Company&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and its four other
most highly compensated executive officers (together, the
&#147;Covered Employees&#148;), as well as other corporate
officers and key employees of the Company designated by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or, under
limited circumstances, its delegate. Awards may be in cash or in
shares of Company common stock. Shares issued under the EIP may
only be issued under an equity compensation plan of the Company
that has been approved by the Company&#146;s stockholders and
permits such awards. The EIP will apply to annual incentive
awards granted beginning January&nbsp;1, 2006 and long-term
incentive awards granted beginning January&nbsp;1, 2005, and the
EIP will be effective as of January&nbsp;1, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The EIP has been adopted by the Board and is being submitted to
stockholders for approval in order to ensure that annual awards
and long-term incentive awards granted after January&nbsp;1,
2006 to Covered Employees, and the long-term incentive award
granted to the Chief Executive Officer in 2005, are deductible
by the Company for federal income tax purposes.
Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), limits to $1&nbsp;million the
deductibility of taxable compensation received in a year by each
Covered Employee, unless the compensation qualifies as
&#147;performance based&#148; or is covered by other exceptions
provided in the Code. Awards granted to Covered Employees under
the EIP for performance periods beginning on or after
January&nbsp;1, 2006 and the long-term incentive award granted
to the Chief Executive Officer in 2005 are expressly contingent
on stockholder approval of the EIP. If the EIP is approved by
stockholders at the Annual Meeting, those awards will qualify as
&#147;performance based&#148; compensation and will be fully
deductible by the Company. The Compensation Committee of the
Board retains discretion to grant additional annual incentive
awards to Covered Employees that may not be deductible under
Section&nbsp;162(m).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If the EIP is not approved by stockholders, all awards granted
on or after January&nbsp;1, 2006 and the long-term incentive
award granted to the Chief Executive Officer in 2005 will
terminate, and the Compensation Committee will consider
alternative approaches to incentive compensation. All other
outstanding awards granted in 2005 will remain in effect. The
stockholder approval provisions of the EIP do not affect 2005
awards other than the long-term incentive award held by the
Chief Executive Officer because it is very unlikely that the
2005 long-term incentive awards to other Covered Employees will
result in compensation exceeding the $1&nbsp;million
deductibility limit, and the Board determined that it would be
unfair to terminate previously granted long-term incentive
awards almost midway through the performance period. Jeffrey P.
Black, the Company&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer,
consented to the inclusion of the provision in the EIP
subjecting his 2005 award to stockholder approval.

The EIP provides incentive compensation awards for performance
periods of one year (&#147;PP Awards&#148;) and three years
(&#147;LTI Award&#148;). The Compensation Committee of the Board
may, in its discretion, also grant awards for performance
periods of other duration.

As soon as practicable after the beginning of each performance
period, the Compensation Committee of the Board (or, if
applicable, its delegate) will establish and communicate to
participants the performance goals and individual target award
opportunities for the performance period, which may be coupled
with threshold and maximum award opportunities for corresponding
levels of performance. The maximum award may not exceed 200% of
the participant&#146;s target award opportunity. In the event
the Committee intends that an award qualify as &#147;performance
based&#148; compensation for purposes of Section&nbsp;162(m)
under the Code, the award opportunities must be established in
writing no later than 90&nbsp;days after the performance period
begins. In addition, no PP Award may exceed $3&nbsp;million
dollars, and no LTI Award may exceed $3&nbsp;million dollars.
The Compensation Committee of the Board retains discretion to
adjust earned awards based on individual performance or any
other factors it deems relevant, but adjustments of awards to
Covered Employees may only be made to reduce, not to increase,
the awards. In addition, the Compensation Committee (or, if
applicable, its delegate) may allow individuals hired or
promoted after the beginning of a performance period to
participate in the performance period.

At the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board,
performance goals for any performance period may be based upon
any one or more of the following business criteria, whether in
absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more
companies selected by the Committee or a published index
covering performance of a number of companies: total return to
the Company&#146;s stockholders, including dividends paid;
earnings per share; net working capital; cash return on
investment; net cash from operating activities; free cash flow;
cash return on sales; revenue; market share; gross profit
margins; adjusted EBITDA; and asset velocity index (the sum of
reported accounts receivable and inventories expressed as a
percentage of annualized quarterly revenues at the balance sheet
date, determined based on the average of the amounts at the end
of each fiscal quarter). Performance goals may be established on
a Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more business
units or divisions or subsidiaries.

Awards will be paid following completion of a performance
period, after the Compensation Committee has certified in
writing the extent to which performance goals have been
achieved, but not later than the fifteenth day of the third
calendar month following completion of the performance period.
Subject to the terms of any applicable employment, severance or
change of control agreement, a participant will not be entitled
to payment of any award unless he is employed by the Company or
one of its subsidiaries on the last day of the performance
period for the award. However, if a participant&#146;s
employment terminates during the final year of a performance
period for a LTI Award because of death, disability or
retirement, the participant (or his or her beneficiary) will
receive a prorated payment. In the case of death or disability,
the prorated payment will be based upon the target award
opportunity and the days actually worked during the performance
period; in the case of retirement, the prorated payment will be
based on actual performance through the end of the performance
period and the days actually worked during the performance
period. Termination of employment will be due to disability if
the participant has suffered a continuous illness, injury or
incapacity for a period of six consecutive months. Termination
of employment will be due to retirement if the participant has
reached age&nbsp;60 with at least ten years of service or
age&nbsp;65 with at least 5&nbsp;years of service. Awards will
generally be paid in cash, although the Compensation Committee
of the Board retains discretion to pay any award in common stock
or in a combination of cash and common stock. In the case of
awards made in shares of stock, such shares must be issued under
an equity compensation plan of the Company that has been
approved by the Company&#146;s stockholders and permits such
awards, including as a result of an amendment to such plan made
without stockholder approval where such amendment may be made
without stockholder approval under the applicable listing
standards of the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange
on which the common stock may be listed. The shares will be
subject to the terms of such equity compensation plan.

The Audit Committee has appointed the firm of

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as our independent

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be
present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make
statements and respond to appropriate questions from
stockholders present at the meeting. Although stockholder
ratification of the Company&#146;s independent registered public
accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, we
are submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to
our stockholders for ratification to permit stockholders to
participate in this important corporate decision. If not
ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection,
although the Audit Committee will not be required to select a
different independent registered public accounting firm for the
Company.

(a)&nbsp;Payment of earned awards will be made within a
reasonable period following the completion of the applicable
Performance Period after the Committee certifies in writing the
extent to which the performance goals are achieved, but not
later than the 15th&nbsp;day of the third calendar month
following the end of the Performance Period. Adjustments to
earned awards may be made based on individual performance and
any other factors the Committee deems relevant; provided that
adjustments of awards to Covered Employees may only be made to
reduce, not increase, an award. Awards may be paid in cash,
Company common stock, $1.00&nbsp;par value (&#147;Company
Stock&#148;), or a combination of cash and stock, as determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any Company Stock used
to satisfy awards under this Plan shall be authorized and issued
under an equity compensation plan of the Company that has been
approved by stockholders and permits such awards, which may
include, without limitation, any such equity compensation plan
previously approved by stockholders that did not expressly
provide for the issuance of Company Stock, but which is
subsequently amended without stockholder approval to permit the
issuance of Company Stock where such amendment without
stockholder approval is permitted by the applicable listing
standards of the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange
on which the Company Stock is traded.

dividend, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or

reorganization or consolidation, (iii)&nbsp;by reason of a

of any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the
outstanding Company Stock as a class without the Company&#146;s
receipt of consideration, or if the value of outstanding shares
of Company Stock is substantially reduced as a result of the
Company&#146;s payment of an extraordinary dividend or
distribution, the maximum number of shares of Company Stock
available for satisfaction of awards under the Plan, and the
kind of shares issued or payable in satisfaction of awards under
the Plan may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to
reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change in
the kind or value of, issued shares of Company Stock to
preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution
of rights and benefits under such awards; provided, however,
that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall
be eliminated. Any adjustments determined by the Committee shall
be final, binding and conclusive.
