the number and kind of shares that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards,

the number and kinds of shares that are subject to outstanding Awards, and

the grant, exercise, or conversion price with respect to any of the foregoing.

the same legend as the Restricted Stock with respect to which the shares were
issued. Additionally, the Administrator may make provisions for a cash payment
to a Participant or other person holding an outstanding Award. However, the

(f)Acquisitions. Unless required by law or regulation, no Shares underlying an
Award granted in assumption of, or in substitution for, an outstanding award

Options) or any Option or SAR that is not structured to be exempt from the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify in the Award
Agreement or thereafter. The Administrator may impose such conditions on the
exercise of Options and SARs as it determines to be appropriate, including
conditions relating to the application of federal or state securities laws. No
Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option unless
arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator have been made to assure full
payment of the exercise price therefor. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payment of the exercise price of an Option may be made (i) in cash,
(ii) if and to the extent permitted by the Administrator, by withholding Shares
(“net exercise”) or exchanging Shares owned without restriction, or the
ownership of which is attested to, by the optionee, or (iii) by a combination of
the foregoing. The combined value of all cash and the fair market value of any
Shares tendered to the Company, valued as of the date of such tender, shall be
equal to (or greater than) the aggregate exercise price. The Administrator may

not authorize a loan to an optionee to assist the optionee in making payment of
the exercise price under an Option or in meeting the optionee’s tax obligations
associated with the exercise of an Option.

(d)Term. An Option or SAR shall be exercisable for a term determined by the
Administrator, which shall not be longer than ten years from the date on which
the Option or SAR is granted.

Termination only to the extent the Award is vested and not expired (in each
case, taking into account the provisions of and Sections 10 (Termination) and
11(e) (Change of Control) hereof). Except as otherwise set forth in the Award
Agreement, and subject to Sections 10 and 11(e), and the requirements of any
Incentive Stock Option, the exercise period following Termination shall end no
later than the earlier of the date the Option or SAR otherwise expires or the
following time:

(1)
If the Participant is a Non-Management Director, three years after the

Cause or the Participant’s death or Disability, three years after the
Participant’s Termination.

If the Participant’s Termination is due to the Participant’s Disability (and the
Participant is not a Non-Management Director), one year after the Participant’s

canceled immediately upon the Participant’s Termination and shall not be
exercisable thereafter.

(f)Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”). ISOs shall be subject to
the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. In accordance with Section 422, an
ISO shall not be granted to an individual who, immediately before the time the
Option is granted, owns Shares possessing more than 10 percent of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, unless the Award
Agreement for such ISO provides that (i) the exercise price is no less than 110%
of the fair market value of the Shares on the grant date (determined in
accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.422-2(f)(1)), and (ii) the Option expires no
later than the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

authorized to determine the number of Shares of Restricted Stock and the number
of Restricted Stock Units to be granted to a Participant, and the other terms
and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units,

and/or the vesting of Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
contingent on the achievement of Performance Objectives specified by the
Administrator. If such Performance Objectives are not satisfied, the Award shall
not be granted or become vested, as the case may be. Partial achievement of such
Performance Objectives may result in the grant or vesting of a portion of the
Award corresponding to the degree of achievement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)Rights of Participant. A Participant to whom Shares of Restricted Stock have
been granted shall have absolute ownership of such Shares, including the right
to vote the same and to receive dividends thereon, subject to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions described in the Plan and in the Award Agreement;
provided that no Participant shall be entitled to the payment of any dividends
until the restrictions applicable to such Shares of Restricted Stock has lapsed.
A Participant to whom Restricted Stock Units have been granted shall have no
ownership interest in the Shares to which such Restricted Stock Units relate
until and unless settlement with respect to such Restricted Stock Units is
actually made in Shares.

(d)Restrictions. Until the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock shall
lapse, the Restricted Stock shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of. Subject to Sections 10 (Termination) and
11(e) (Change of Control) hereof, the restrictions set forth in this
Section 6(d) shall remain in effect until the end of the Restricted Period.
(e)Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, and
subject to Sections 10 (Termination) and 11(e) (Change of Control) hereof, if a
Participant’s Termination for any reason occurs before the restrictions
applicable to Restricted Stock lapse, or before an Award of Restricted Stock
Units becomes fully vested:

(1)
Such Restricted Stock shall be forfeited, all rights with respect to such
Restricted Stock shall immediately terminate without any payment of
consideration by the Company, and all Shares of such Restricted Stock, if any,
that had been delivered to, or held in custody for, the Participant shall be
returned to the Company forthwith, accompanied by any instrument of transfer
requested by the Company; and

(2)
Such unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited, and all of
the rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Stock Units shall
immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.

(f)Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Except as otherwise provided in the
Award Agreement, and subject to Section 11(m) (Compliance with Legal and
Exchange Requirements), (n) (Deferrals), and (o) (Section 409A of the Code)
hereof, vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled on the earlier of (x) a
date determined by the Company that is within 90 days after the Participant’s
death or (y) a date determined by the Company that is during the calendar year
in which the Vesting Date occurs.

(g)Election to Recognize Gross Income from Restricted Stock in Year of Grant. If
a Participant properly elects, within 30 days of the date of grant of Restricted
Stock, to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes an amount
equal to the fair market value of the Shares awarded on the date of grant, the
Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator to pay any
taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Shares. If the Participant
fails to make the payments, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any
payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to the Shares.

(h)Foreign Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if Restricted
Stock is to be awarded to a Participant who is subject to the laws, including
the tax laws, of any country other than the United States, the Administrator
may, in its discretion, direct the Company to sell, assign, or otherwise
transfer the Restricted Stock to a trust or other entity or arrangement, rather
than grant the Restricted Stock directly to the Participant.

Section 7.Performance Shares, Performance Units, and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a)Grant. Subject to the limits set forth in the Plan, the Administrator is
authorized to determine the number (or, for Performance Units denominated in
cash, the amount) of Performance Shares, Performance Units, and Other
Stock-Based Awards to be granted to a Participant and the other terms and
conditions of such Awards. The Performance Shares and Performance Units shall
become vested upon (and only to the extent of) the achievement of specified
Performance Objectives specified by the Administrator, and any other conditions
set forth in the Award Agreement. Partial achievement of the objective(s) may
result in a payment corresponding to the degree of achievement.

(b)Payment. Payment of Performance Shares and Performance Units and Other
Stock-Based Awards may be made in cash, Shares, or a combination, as determined
by the Administrator. For purposes of calculating the amount of any payment, the
Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined on the Vesting Date. Except as
otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, and subject to Section 11(m)
(Compliance with Legal and Exchange Requirements), (n) (Deferrals), and (o)
(Section 409A of the Code) hereof, Performance Shares and Performance Units
shall be paid

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

on the earlier of (1) a date determined by the Company that is within 90 days
after the Participant’s death, or (2) a date determined by the Company that is
during the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs.

(c)Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, and
subject to Sections 10 (Termination) and 11(e) (Change of Control) hereof, if a
Participant’s Termination for any reason occurs before a Performance Share,
Performance Unit, or Other Stock-Based Award becomes fully vested, the unvested
portion of such Performance Share, Performance Unit, or Other Stock-Based Award
shall be immediately forfeited, and all of the rights of the Participant with
respect to any such Award shall immediately terminate without any payment of
consideration by the Company.

Section 8.Performance Cash.

(a)Grant. Subject to the limits set forth in the Plan, the Administrator is
authorized to determine the amount of Performance Cash Awards to be granted to a
Participant and the other terms and conditions of such Awards. The Performance
Cash Awards shall become vested upon (and only to the extent of) the achievement
of specified Performance Objectives specified by the Administrator, and any
other conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. Partial achievement of the
objective(s) may result in a payment corresponding to the degree of achievement.

(b)Payment. Payment of Performance Cash Awards may be made in cash, Shares, or a
combination, as determined by the Administrator. Any Shares shall be valued in
the same manner as described in Section 7(b) (Payment) hereof. Except as
otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, and subject to Section 11(m)
(Compliance with Legal and Exchange Requirements), (n) (Deferrals), and (o)
(Section 409A of the Code) hereof, a Performance Cash Award shall be paid on the
earlier of (1) a date determined by the Company that is within 90 days after the
Participant’s death, or (2) a date determined by the Company that is during the
calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs.

(c)Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, and
subject to Sections 10 (Termination) and 11(e) (Change of Control) hereof, if a
Participant’s Termination for any reason occurs before a Performance Cash Award
becomes fully vested, the unvested portion of such Performance Cash Award shall
be immediately forfeited, and all of the rights of the Participant with respect
to any such Award shall immediately terminate without any payment of
consideration by the Company.

Section 9.Dividend Equivalents and Shares in Lieu of Cash.

(a)Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator is authorized to grant Dividend
Equivalents to Participants having Full Value Awards under which such
Participant shall be entitled to receive payments (in cash or Shares, as
determined in the discretion of the Administrator) equivalent to the amount of
cash or share dividends paid by the Company to holders of Shares with respect to
a number of Shares determined by the Administrator. Such Dividend Equivalents
shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying Full Value
Awards and, subject to the terms of the Plan, may have additional terms and
conditions as the Administrator shall determine. For the avoidance of doubt,
Dividend Equivalents shall not be granted in respect of Options or SARs.

(b)Shares in Lieu of Cash. The Administrator may grant Awards of Shares in lieu
of all or part of any compensation otherwise payable in cash to a Participant by
the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. If Shares are issued in lieu of
cash, the number of Shares to be issued shall equal the number of whole Shares
that have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the date the cash
otherwise would have been payable) equal to or less than the amount of such
cash.

Section 10.Termination.

(a)Termination Other than for Cause. If a Participant incurs a Termination for
any reason other than Cause, the Participant shall be vested only in the portion
of the Award (if any) in which the Participant is vested immediately before his
or her Termination, except (1) an Award Agreement for an Eligible Employee may
provide accelerated vesting upon death, disability, Change of Control (subject
to Section 11(e)), or Retirement, (2) vesting may continue while the Participant
remains on payroll (if authorized under subsection (c) below), and (3) the
Administrator shall have discretion to accelerate vesting for Awards to
Participants who are not Non-Management Directors under circumstances that it
determines to be in the best interest of the Company. The Administrator may
determine in its sole discretion to accelerate the vesting of a Non-Management
Director’s outstanding Awards if the Non-Management Director incurs a
Termination due to death or Disability.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)Termination for Cause. If a Participant incurs a Termination for Cause, all
of such Participant’s outstanding Awards shall immediately be canceled, except
as the Administrator may otherwise provide in the Award Agreement.

(c)Vesting During Severance Period. If (and only if) authorized by the
Administrator or the Company in accordance with its compensation policies and
procedures, a Participant who remains on his or her Employer’s payroll after his
or her Termination of Employment (e.g., by reason of receiving severance
payments) may continue to vest in, and accrue rights under, his or her Awards,
as if he or she had continued in employment with such Employer through the date
as of which he or she is withdrawn from such Employer’s payroll. Neither the
Administrator nor the Company shall be required to authorize continued vesting
or accrual of rights for any Participant after his or her Termination of
Employment, unless otherwise expressly provided by an Award Agreement or other
binding agreement involving the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate; and
there is no obligation of uniformity or consistency of treatment of
Participants.

Section 11.General Provisions.

(a)Awards. Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced in an Award Agreement. The
Award Agreement shall be delivered to the Participant (including in electronic
form) and shall incorporate the terms of the Plan by reference.

(b)Amendment of Awards. Subject to any obligation under the Plan or applicable
law or a listing requirement to obtain stockholders’ consent, the Administrator
may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, including the Performance
Criteria and Performance Objectives, prospectively or retroactively; provided
that no amendment shall substantially impair the rights of a Participant without
the Participant’s consent. Actions taken by the Administrator in accordance with
Section 4(e) (Adjustment for Corporate Transactions) shall not be deemed to
impair the rights of any Participant.

(c)Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid
to a Participant in cash any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of
Awards under the Plan. In the case of any Award satisfied in Shares, no Shares
shall be issued (and restrictions on Restricted Stock shall not be lifted)
unless and until arrangements satisfactory to the Company shall have been made
to satisfy the withholding tax obligations (if any) applicable with respect to
such Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to such
terms and conditions as the Administrator may impose, the Company shall have the
right to (i) retain Shares or (ii) subject to such terms and conditions as the
Administrator may establish from time to time, permit Participants to elect to
tender Shares (including Shares issuable in respect of an Award) to satisfy, in
whole or in part, the amount required to be withheld; provided that (i) the
value of Shares retained or tendered shall not exceed the Participant’s tax
calculated using the maximum individual tax rate in each relevant jurisdiction
at the time of such withholding and (ii) this withholding provision shall not be
interpreted or administered in a way that changes the Award’s accounting
treatment.  

(d)Nontransferability. No Award shall be assignable or transferable except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and except to the extent required
by law, no right or interest of any Participant shall be subject to any lien,
obligation or liability of the Participant; provided, however, that the
Administrator shall have discretion to permit (on such terms and conditions as
it shall establish) transfer of a Nonstatutory Stock Option to a member of the
Participant’s immediate family or to a trust, partnership, corporation, or
similar vehicle the parties in interest in which are limited to the Participant
and members of the Participant’s immediate family with respect to whom the
exercise of such Option is covered by an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (collectively, the “Permitted
Transferees”). All rights with respect to Awards granted to a Participant under
the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by such
Participant or, if applicable, the Permitted Transferees. Any transfer of an
Award to any Permitted Transferee shall be without consideration.

(e)Change of Control. An Award Agreement may specify provisions relating to a
Change of Control, including the acceleration of the vesting, delivery and
exercisability of, and the lapse of restrictions and deemed satisfaction of
Performance Objectives with respect to, the Award, and replacement of a
Share-settled Award with a cash-settled Award; provided, however, that vesting,
delivery or exercisability of, or the lapse of restrictions on, any outstanding
Award shall not be accelerated in connection with a Change of Control unless
(i) the Change of Control actually occurs and (ii) the Participant’s Employment
or service is terminated without Cause, under circumstances described in the
Award Agreement, within 24 months following such Change of Control. In
connection with a Change of Control, and notwithstanding any contrary provision
of an Award Agreement, all Options and SARs may be canceled in exchange for the
right (to the extent vested) to receive, at a time determined by the
Administrator, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market
value of the Share subject to the Option or SAR over the exercise price;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for this purpose, fair market value shall be no less than the highest price paid
for a share in the Change of Control transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, no
payment shall be required to cancel an Option or SAR for which the exercise
price exceeds the fair market value of the Share at the time of the Change of
Control (i.e., an “under water” option or SAR).

(f)No Right to Employment or Directorship. Neither the right to participate in
the Plan nor the grant of any Award shall be construed as giving a Participant
the right (1) to be retained in the employ of the Company, any Subsidiary or any
Affiliate or (2) to continue to provide services to the Company, any Subsidiary
or any Affiliate. The Company and each Subsidiary and Affiliate expressly
reserve the right at any time to dismiss a Participant free from any liability,
or any claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any
applicable Award Agreement.

(g)Other Conditions to Awards. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise,
the Participant’s rights in respect of all of his or her outstanding Awards
(whether or not vested) may be canceled, withheld, amended or otherwise limited
or restricted at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all
applicable provisions of the Plan or Award Agreement, or if the Participant
engages in any Prohibited Activity. In addition, each Award granted under the
Plan shall be and remain subject to any clawback or recoupment policy as in
effect or as may be adopted by the Board (or a committee or subcommittee of the
Board), in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy or
amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant or
Eligible Employee.

(h)Nature and Form of Payments. All grants of Awards and deliveries of Shares,
cash or other property under the Plan shall constitute a special discretionary
incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be required to be taken into
account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Participant for
the purpose of determining any contributions to or any benefits under any
pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance, severance or other
benefit plan of the Company or under any agreement with the Participant, unless
the Company specifically provides otherwise in any such plan or agreement.

(i)No Rights to Awards; No Shareholder Rights. No Participant or Eligible
Employee shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there
is no obligation of uniformity or consistency of treatment of Participants and
Eligible Employees. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Award
Agreement, no person shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any
Shares to be issued under the Plan prior to the issuance thereof.

(j)Foreign Benefits. The Administrator may grant Awards to Eligible Employees or
Non-Management Directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who
reside in jurisdictions outside the United States. The Administrator may adopt
such supplements to the Plan as may be necessary to comply with applicable laws
of such jurisdictions and to afford participants favorable treatment under such
laws; provided that no Award shall be granted under any such supplement on the
basis of terms or conditions that are inconsistent with provisions of the Plan.

(k)Amendment of Plan. The Board or the Administrator may amend, suspend, or
terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that stockholder
approval shall be required if (1) shareholder approval is required by law,
regulation, a securities exchange listing requirement, or a provision of the
Plan, or (2) the amendment would increase the number of Shares available for
Awards under the Plan other than as described in Section 4(e) (Adjustment for
Corporate Transactions) hereof. Without the written consent of an affected
Participant, no termination, suspension, or modification of the Plan shall
adversely affect any right of such Participant under the terms of an Award
granted before the date of such termination, suspension, or modification.

(l)Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale
of Shares under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

(m)Compliance with Legal and Exchange Requirements. The Plan, the grant and
exercise of Awards thereunder, and the other obligations of the Company under
the Plan, shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as
may be required. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the grant and
exercise of Awards, the issuance or delivery of Shares under any Award or any
other action permitted under the Plan to permit the Company, with reasonable
diligence, to complete such stock exchange listing or registration or
qualification of Shares or other required action under any federal or state law,
rule, or regulation and may require any Participant to make such representations
and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with
the issuance or delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules,
and regulations. The Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision
of the Plan to recognize the exercise of any Award or otherwise to sell or issue
Shares in violation of any such laws, rules, or regulations; and any
postponement of the exercise or settlement of any Award under this provision
shall not extend the term of such Awards,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and neither the Company nor its directors or officers shall have any obligation
or liability to the Participant with respect to any Award (or stock issuable
thereunder) that shall lapse because of such postponement.

(n)Deferrals. Subject to the Administrator’s reasonable efforts to comply with
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator may:

(1)
Postpone the exercise of Awards, the issuance or delivery of Shares, the payment
of cash under any Award, or any action permitted under the Plan to prevent the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from being denied an income tax
benefit with respect to any Award, and/or

(2)
Establish rules under which a Participant may elect to postpone receipt of
Shares or cash under any Award.

(o)Section 409A of the Code.

(1)
The Plan shall be operated, administered, and interpreted consistently with the
intent to comply with (or to be exempt from) the requirements of Section 409A of
the Code. If the Administrator or the Company determines that any provision of
the Plan is or might be inconsistent with the restrictions imposed by Section
409A of the Code, the Plan shall be automatically amended (without further
action) to the extent that the Administrator or the Company determines is
necessary to bring it into compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of
the Code. No provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be interpreted
or construed to transfer any liability for a failure to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code from a Participant or other individual
to the Company, any Subsidiary, any Affiliate, the Administrator, or any other
entity or individual affiliated with the Company, the Subsidiaries, and the
Affiliates.

(2)
For any Participant who, as of the date on which his or her Termination of
Employment occurs, is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section
409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, as determined by Interpublic in accordance with
Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i)), the payment date for any Award that is subject to
Section 409A and for which the payment trigger is the Participant’s Termination
of Employment shall be no earlier than the Participant’s Delayed Start Date. For
purposes of the Plan, the Participant’s Delayed Start Date shall be the earlier
of (i) the Company’s first pay date for the seventh calendar month that starts
after the Participant’s Termination of Employment or (y) a date determined by
Interpublic that is within 90 days after the Participant’s death.

(p)Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if
such provision had not been included.

(q)Incapacity. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an
incompetent person, or other person incapable of receipting therefor shall be
deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or
reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment
shall fully discharge any liability or obligation of the Administrator, the
Board, the Company, and all other parties with respect thereto.

(r)Rules of Construction. Whenever used in the Plan, words in the masculine
gender shall be deemed to refer to females as well as to males; words in the
singular shall be deemed to refer also to the plural; the word “include” shall
mean “including but not limited to”; and references to a statute, statutory
provision, or regulation shall be construed as if they referred also to that
provision (or to a successor provision of similar import) as currently in
effect, as amended, or as reenacted, and to agency guidance of general
applicability issued thereunder.

(s)Headings and Captions. The headings and captions in this Plan document are
provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the
Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

(t)Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation, administration,
and effect of the Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to
the Plan, shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the State of New York, without regard to any conflicts or choice of law rule or
principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan
to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

(u)Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective on the date the Plan is
approved by the Company’s shareholders. No Awards may be granted under the Plan
after the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders in 2029; provided that
any Awards granted before such annual meeting shall continue in effect
thereafter in accordance with the terms of the Awards and the Plan. Upon
shareholder approval of the Plan, no awards shall be made under a Prior Plan.
