 of the Incentive Plan may determine no later than the last day of the Post-Closing Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year.

Shares issuable under the Incentive Plan may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired, shares of Post-Closing Company Class A common stock. If an award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an exchange program (as described below), or, with respect to restricted stock, restricted stock units, or performance awards, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Post-Closing Company due to failure to vest, the unpurchased shares (or for awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights, the forfeited or repurchased shares) will become available for future grant or sale under the Incentive Plan. Only the net shares actually issued under a stock appreciation right granted under the Incentive Plan will cease to be available under the Incentive Plan and all remaining shares under stock appreciation rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the Incentive Plan.

Shares otherwise issuable under an award that are used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax liabilities or withholdings related to an award (which withholdings may be in amounts greater than the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld as determined by the administrator of the Incentive Plan) will become available for future grant or sale under the Incentive Plan. To the extent an award is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in a reduction in the number of shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan.

If any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, reclassification, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Post-Closing Company Class A common stock or other securities of the Post-Closing Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Post-Closing Company affecting the shares of Post-Closing Company Class A common stock, occurs (other than any ordinary
