WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders that any shares of Common Stock acquired through the grant, exercise or settlement of Common Stock-based awards other than stock options should also be subject to the Agreement; and

2. The definition of “Original Cost” under Section 10 of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:
