calendar year that commences after the time an election is made. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 409A of the
Code (or except as otherwise set forth in the Plan), Participants shall make
their deferral elections by submitting their Participant Elections prior to
December 31, 2012 with respect to Annual FCF Bonuses to be earned under the
Plan, and such Participant Elections will be irrevocable for all Plan Years and
all purposes of the Plan. Participants may defer between 50% and 100% (in 1
percentage point increments) of the pre-tax amounts of the Annual FCF Bonuses
payable in respect of such Plan Year (such percentage, a “Deferred Percentage”
and, such amount, a “Deferred Amount”) to acquire an equivalent percentage of
the Deferred Equity Units available to such Participant under the Plan; provided
that with respect to a Deferral Election made between October 1 and December 31,
2012, the Deferred Percentage for the 2013 Plan Year shall not exceed 75%. In

a Participant may defer under the Plan, in the aggregate, in all Plan Years

Participant shall be granted and credited with a number of Deferred Equity Units
equal to the number obtained by dividing (x) the Participant’s Deferred Amount

granted or credited for the 2020 Plan Year or any succeeding Plan Year.

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

to such Participant in cash at the time that Annual FCF Bonuses in respect of

conditions, including regarding distributions, vesting, forfeiture and

5.3 Dividend Equivalents. When cash dividends are paid on shares of the
Company’s Common Stock, each Deferred Equity Unit shall participate in such
dividends, on a pro rata basis, as if the Fractional Company Share underlying
such Deferred Equity Unit was then issued and outstanding.

5.4 Maximum Allocation under the Plan. At no time may the total number of shares
of the Company’s Common Stock (including all Fractional Company Shares)
underlying all outstanding:

(1) Deferred Equity Units (assuming all Deferred Equity Units are settled for

following settlement of Deferred Equity Units, in the aggregate, exceed 3.75% of
the Fully-Diluted Company Equity or 41.0959 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock;

acquired following redemption of Matching Equity Units, in the aggregate, exceed
3.75% of the Fully-Diluted Company Equity or 41.0959 shares of the Company’s
Common Stock; and

(3) Deferred Equity Units (assuming such settlement), Matching Equity Units
(assuming such redemption) and Equity Units, in the aggregate, exceed 7.5% of

Stock.

Except as provided in the LLC Agreement, following any redemption of Matching
Equity Units or Equity Units from a Participant by the LLC or shares of the
Company’s Common Stock by the Company in connection with his or her termination
of employment, the Fractional Company Shares that were covered by such redeemed
Matching Equity Units or Equity Units shall again be available, in the
Committee’s sole discretion, for allocation under the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, repurchases, whether directly or indirectly, of any shares of the
Company’s Common Stock from Access, taken alone, shall not result in any
violation of the percentage limits set forth in this Section 5.4.

5.5 Adjustment Events. The number and kind of shares or other equity interests
to which the Fractional Company Shares and Deferred Equity Units may relate and
the number and kinds of securities deliverable shall be proportionally adjusted
to reflect, as deemed equitable and appropriate by the Committee, any stock
dividend, stock split, share combination, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, exchange of shares or any other similar event
affecting the Company’s Common Stock, the Matching Equity Units or the Equity
Units.

9.1 Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have
the exclusive right and full discretion (i) to appoint agents to act on its
behalf, (ii) to interpret the Plan, (iii) to decide any and all matters arising
under the Plan (including the right to remedy possible ambiguities,
inconsistencies or admissions), (iv) to make, amend and rescind such rules as it
deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and (v) to make all
other determinations and resolve all questions of fact necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan, including determinations regarding
eligibility to participate in the Plan. All good faith interpretations of the
Committee with respect to any matter under the Plan shall be final, conclusive
and binding on all persons affected thereby. No member of the Committee or agent
thereof shall be liable for any determination, decision or action made in good
faith with respect to the Plan. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the
members of the Committee and its agents from and against any and all
liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by such persons as a result of any act
or omission in connection with the performance of such persons’ duties,
responsibilities and obligations under the Plan, other than such liabilities,
costs and expenses as may result from the bad faith, willful misconduct or
criminal acts of such persons.

9.2 409A Compliance. The Plan is intended to be administered in a manner
consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of Section 409A of the Code
and the Plan shall be administered, interpreted and construed consistent with
that intent and where reasonably possible and practicable, the Plan shall be
administered and interpreted in a manner to avoid the imposition on a
Participant of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes pursuant to
Section 409A of the Code. A Participant’s right to receive any installment
payment under the Plan shall, for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, be
treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. In
addition, with respect to any payments or deemed payments under the Plan subject
to Section 409A of the Code, references to a Participant’s “termination of
employment” (and corollary terms) with the Company and its Affiliates means the
Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code)
with the Company and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Plan, any payment made under the Plan at a time permitted by
Section 409A of the Code shall be deemed timely paid for all purposes of the
Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the
Committee may amend the Plan to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate to
comply with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Plan or any other agreement to which the Company or any of its
Affiliates is bound or is a party, none of the Company, any of its Affiliates,
the Committee or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or
agents shall have any liability whatsoever to any Participant or any other
person in the event Section 409A of the Code applies to any payments under the
Plan in a manner that results in adverse tax consequences for a Participant or
his or her heirs.

9.3 Delay for “Specified Employees”. In the event that any payment under the
Plan is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code because a
Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(1) of the Code and the related regulations, such payment
shall be made, or the first installment of such payment shall be made, within 90
days of the first business day following the six-month anniversary of the
Participant’s “separation from service.”

9.4 Freedom of Action. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as limiting or
preventing the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates from taking any
action that in good faith it deems appropriate or in its best interest (as
determined in its sole and absolute discretion) and no Participant (or person
claiming by or through a Participant) shall have any right relating to the
diminishment in the value of any Fractional

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

Company Shares, Deferred Equity Units, Matching Equity Units, Equity Units,
Dividend Equivalents or any associated return as a result of any such action.
The foregoing shall not constitute a waiver by a Participant of the terms and
provisions of the Plan. Unless the context otherwise requires, any determination
under the Plan by the Committee or the Company shall be in their sole and
absolute discretion.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Company may, at any time, direct the
Committee to amend or terminate the Plan, except that no such amendment or
termination may adversely affect a Participant’s Deferred Equity Units, Matching
Equity Units or Dividend Equivalents. If the Company terminates the Plan, no
further amounts shall be paid or deferred under the Plan, and outstanding
Deferred Equity Amounts and Dividend Equivalents shall be treated in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan as in effect prior to the Plan’s termination.

10.2 Unsecured General Creditor. Any payment due under the Plan shall be paid
from the general funds of the Company, and each Participant and his or her heirs
shall be no more than unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special
or prior right to any assets of the Company for payment of any obligations under
the Plan. It is the intention of the Company that the Plan be unfunded for
purposes of ERISA and the Code.

10.3 Requirements of Law. The issuance of Fractional Company Shares and Equity
Units pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and
regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.

10.4 Restriction Against Assignment. Deferred Equity Units, Dividend Equivalents
and the other rights and entitlements under the Plan are not assignable or
transferable, in whole or in part, and may not, directly or indirectly, be
offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including without limitation by gift,
operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution upon a Participant’s death.

10.5 Withholding. Whenever Annual FCF Bonuses, Settlement Payments, Dividend
Equivalents or any other payments or deemed payments under the Plan are to be
paid or delivered to a Participant, the Company and its Affiliates shall have
the power to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company or any
of its Affiliates, an amount sufficient to satisfy the statutory minimum
federal, state and local withholding tax requirements relating to such payments,
and the Company may defer the payment and delivery of any such Annual FCF
Bonuses, Settlement Payments, Dividend Equivalents or any other payments or
deemed payments under the Plan until the date such tax withholding requirements
are satisfied or, if earlier, the last day of the calendar year in which such
payments or deemed payment would otherwise have been made to the Participant;
provided that if a Participant has not remitted or the Company has not withheld
the amounts necessary to satisfy the withholding tax requirements prior to the
last day of such calendar year then the Participant shall forfeit the payments
or deemed payments subject to such withholding tax requirements. The Committee
may, in its discretion, permit a Participant to elect, subject to such
conditions as the Committee shall impose, to satisfy his or her withholding
obligation relating to a Settlement Payment with Fractional Company Shares.

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

10.6 Employment Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action
taken hereunder shall be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any
Participant any right to continue the provision of services in any capacity
whatsoever to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

10.7 Successors of the Company. The rights and obligations of the Company under
the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the
successors and assigns of the Company.

10.8 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the
Company or a Participant under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and
hand-delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, in the case of the
Company, to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of
the Committee, and in the case of a Participant, to the last known address of
the Participant indicated on the employment records of the Company. Such notice
shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by
mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or
certification. Notices to the Company may be permitted by electronic
communication according to specifications established by the Committee.

10.9 No Conflict with LLC Agreement. Nothing contained in the Plan is intended
to conflict with the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement and to the extent
any such conflict exists with respect to Matching Equity Units or Equity Units,
expressly or by implication, the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement shall
control.

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

10.11 Headings, etc. Headings and subheadings in the Plan are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction
of the provisions hereof. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be
deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, as the identity of the
person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be
read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

10.12 Governing Law. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained
primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of
“management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201,
301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I
of ERISA. In the event any provision of, or legal issue relating to, the Plan is
not fully preempted by federal law, such issue or provision shall be governed by
the laws of the State of New York.
