impaired by any such amendment unless (A) the Company requests the consent of the affected
Participant, and (B) such Participant consents in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a
Participant’s rights will not be deemed to have been impaired by any such amendment if the
Board, in its sole discretion, determines that the amendment, taken as a whole, does not
materially impair the Participant’s rights; and (2) subject to the limitations of applicable law, if
any, the Board may amend the terms of any one or more Equity Awards without the affected
Participant’s consent (A) to maintain the qualified status of the Equity Award as an Incentive
Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code; (B) to change the terms of an Incentive Stock
Option, if such change results in impairment of the Equity Award solely because it impairs the
qualified status of the Equity Award as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the
Code; (C) to clarify the manner of exemption from, or to bring the Equity Award into
compliance with, Section 409A of the Code; or (D) to comply with other applicable laws.

deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and that are not in
conflict with the provisions of the Plan or Equity Awards.
(x)To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to
permit participation in the Plan by Employees, Directors or Consultants who are foreign
nationals or employed outside the United States (provided that Board approval will not be
necessary for immaterial modifications to the Plan or any Equity Award Agreement that are
required for compliance with the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction).
(xi)To effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of any
adversely affected Participant, (A) the reduction of the exercise price, purchase price or strike
price of any outstanding Equity Award under the Plan, (B) the cancellation of any outstanding
Equity Award under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefore of (1) a new Option or SAR,
(2) a Restricted Stock Award, (3) a Restricted Stock Unit Award, (4) Other Equity Award,
(5) cash and/or (6) other valuable consideration (as determined by the Board, in its sole
discretion), with any such substituted award (x) covering the same or a different number of
shares of Common Stock as the cancelled Equity Award and (y) granted under the Plan or
another equity or compensatory plan of the Company, or (C) any other action that is treated as a
repricing under generally accepted accounting principles. For the avoidance of doubt,
shareholder approval shall not be required for the Company to undertake any action described in
this Section 2(b)(xi).
(c)Delegation to Committee. Subject to applicable law, the Board may delegate

administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been
delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee of the Committee
any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in the
Plan to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to
