Qualifying Retirement, the Executive's outstanding equity incentive awards will (i) remain exercisable until the earlier of its original expiration date or the 10-year anniversary of its grant date or (ii) continue to vest as if Executive had remained in continuous service through each applicable vesting date or, for awards subject to performance-vesting, through the performance period, with any performance goal or metric vesting only based upon the achievement of the same. To be eligible for the Qualifying Retirement benefit, Executive must have (i) attained the age of 60, (ii) completed at least 5 years of service with the Company and its affiliates and (iii) provided timely notice of his intent to retire to the Company at least 12 months, in the case ofMr. Meyer , or 6 months in the case of Messrs.

securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates when determining whether a Person or group has become a beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding securities. In addition, the A&R Plan further provides that the definition of a "change in control" applicable to each Executive's unvested equity incentive awards shall also include any event that would trigger a Change in Control under the A&R Plan.
The foregoing description of the A&R Plan is qualified in its entirety by the
full text of the A&R Plan, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the
Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended
