      stake in the Company&#8217;s welfare will assure a closer identification of
      their interests with those of the Company and its stockholders, thereby

      Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate
      exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of
      Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock
      Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The
      Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in
      the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise
      price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration
      cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other
      extraordinary corporate event.&#160;&#160;The adjustment by the Administrator
      shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock
      shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but
      the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of
      fractional shares.
