DIRECTOR AWARDS. (a) The Board shall determine the type or types of Director Awards to be made under this Plan and shall designate from time to time the Participants who are to be the recipients of such Director Awards. Each Director Award shall be evidenced in either an individual Director Award Agreement, a common document including but not limited to a separate plan, policy, agreement or other written document, which shall contain such terms, conditions and limitations as shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, and may be signed by an Authorized Officer on behalf of the Corporation. Director Awards may consist of those listed in this paragraph 8(a) and may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Director Awards may also be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, grants or rights under this Plan or any other plan of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, including the plan of any acquired entity; provided that, except as contemplated in paragraph 14 hereof, without shareholders approval, no Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be issued in exchange for the cancellation of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a higher exercise price nor may the exercise price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right be reduced without shareholder approval. No Option or Stock Appreciation Right may include provisions that “reload” or “recycle” the Option or Stock Appreciation Right upon exercise or that extend the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right beyond ten years from its Grant Date. All or part of a Director Award may be subject to conditions established by the Board, which may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and achievement of specific Performance Goals. Upon the termination of service by a Participant who is a Director, any unexercised, deferred, unvested or unpaid Awards shall be treated as set forth in the applicable Director Award Agreement.
