Accelerated Stock Options definition

Accelerated Stock Options means any Option granted at any time by the Company which is (i) held by a Grantee who at any time was a named executive officer (as determined under Item 402 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act) and (ii) for which either (A) the exercisability (i.e. the vesting) of such Option is accelerated for any reason in connection with any termination of employment or (B) the exercise period of such Option is extended by the Committee under Section 6(g).
