As of the Change in Control date, any outstanding performance awards shall be deemed earned at the target performance level with respect to all open performance periods and will cease to be subject to any further performance conditions but will continue to be subject to time-based vesting following the Change in Control in accordance with the original performance period; provided , however , that if a grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or a grantee resigns his or her employment for Good Reason prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, such grantee’s performance awards shall remain outstanding for three (3) months prior to the measurement of performance and conversion described herein and if a Change in Control occurs during such three (3) month period, such performance awards shall be deemed earned as of the Change in Control date as described above. In connection with such Change in Control, the Board (as constituted prior to the Change in Control) may, in its discretion: (i) require that shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from or succeeding to the business of the Company pursuant to such Change in Control, or a parent corporation thereof, be substituted for some or all of the shares of common stock subject to an outstanding award, with an appropriate and equitable adjustment to such award as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 5 of Article I; and/or (ii) require outstanding awards, in whole or in part, to be surrendered to the Company by the holder, and to be immediately cancelled by the Company, and to provide for the holder to receive (a) a cash payment in an amount equal to (1) in the case of an option or an SAR, the number of shares of common stock then subject to the portion of such option or SAR surrendered multiplied by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of the Change in Control, over the exercise price or base price per share of common stock subject to such option or SAR, (2) in the case of a restricted stock award, stock unit award or bonus award denominated in shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock then subject to the portion of such award surrendered, multiplied by the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of the Change in Control, and (3) in the case of a bonus award denominated in cash, the value of the bonus award then subject to the portion of such award surrendered; (b) shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from or succeeding to the business of the Company pursuant to such Change in Control, or a parent corporation thereof, having a fair market value not less than the amount determined under clause (a) above; or (c) a combination of the payment of cash pursuant to clause (a) above and the issuance of shares pursuant to clause (b) above. 4. Section 409A . All awards made under the Plan that are intended to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A will be interpreted, administered and construed to comply with Section 409A, and all awards made under the Plan that are intended to be exempt from Section 409A will be interpreted, administered and construed to comply with and preserve such exemption. The Board and the Committee will have full authority to give effect to the intent of the foregoing sentence. To the extent necessary to give effect to this intent, in the case of any conflict or potential inconsistency between the Plan and a provision of any award or award agreement with respect to an award, the Plan will govern. Without limiting the generality of this Section, with respect to any award made under the Plan that is intended to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A: (a) any payment due upon a grantee’s termination of employment will be paid only upon such grantee’s separation from service from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A; (b) Any payment due upon a Change in Control of the Company will be paid only if such Change in Control constitutes a “change in ownership” or “change in effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, and in the event that such Change in Control does not constitute a “change in the ownership” or “change in the effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, such award will vest upon the Change in Control and any payment will be delayed until the first compliant date under Section 409A; 2017 Proxy Statement A-9
