• add restricted stock units and deferred stock units as specific types of authorized awards available for grant under Amended and Restated Plan, as well as cash-settled awards;
• revise the limitations on the number of awards which may be granted to a participant on an annual basis, such that each category of award has its own limitation; and
• add a list of business criteria which the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board may use to establish objectively determinable performance goals for awards issued under the Amended and Restated Plan so that such awards are fully deductible without regard to the $1,000,000 deduction limit imposed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The maximum number of awards which could be granted to any one participant during a calendar year under the Amended and Restated Plan are as follows:
