|3. | Shares Subject to the Plan
|-- | --------------------------

Subject to Section 9(a), the total number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is 19,378,261. Subject to Section 9(a),
the maximum number of Shares for which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted during a calendar year to any Participant shall be 1,000,000. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The
issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon the exercise of an Award shall reduce the total number of Shares available under the Plan, as applicable. Shares which are subject to Awards which terminate or lapse without the Participant having
received any benefit therefrom may be granted again under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a Participant shall not be deemed to have received any benefit in the case of forfeited restricted Shares by reason of having
enjoyed voting rights and dividend rights prior to the date of forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3 or elsewhere in the Plan, Shares withheld from the number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the
exercise or settlement of an Award after January 1, 2009 in order to satisfy any required tax withholding or payroll taxes in respect thereof (as determined in accordance with Section 4(b)) shall be deemed to have never been issued for
purposes of the Plan and to be fully available for future Awards.



|4. | Administration
|-- | --------------

(a) The
Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for,
outstanding awards previously granted by the Company or its Affiliates or a company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines. The number of Shares underlying such substitute awards shall be counted against the aggregate number of
Shares available for Awards under the Plan. The Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable
for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in
the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, but not limited to, Participants and their
beneficiaries or successors). The Committee shall have the full power and authority to establish the terms and conditions of any Award consistent with the provisions of the Plan and to waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including,
without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions).



6



---

(b) The Committee shall require a Participant to pay to the Company or any Subsidiary and
the Company or any Subsidiary shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any Shares or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares or
other property) of any required tax withholding and payroll taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to
satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. Without limiting the generality preceding sentence, unless otherwise provided in an Award agreement, a Participant may satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability (but no
more than the minimum required withholding liability) by (i) delivery of Shares owned by the Participant with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability; provided such Shares meet such criteria as the Committee shall from time to
time establish in light of accounting and other considerations (e.g., (x) that such Shares have been held by the Participant free and clear for at least six months prior to their use to pay the exercise price, (y) that they have
been purchased by the Participant in other than a compensatory transaction, or (z) that they meet any other requirements for mature shares under generally acceptable accounting principles as may exist on the exercise date, as
determined by the Committee) or (ii) having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability.

(c) Unless the Committee expressly provides otherwise in an Award agreement, in connection with any underwritten public
offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, for such period as the Company or its underwriters may request and subject to such other provisions as the Committee may
deem necessary or desirable, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other
contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Plan without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters.



|5. | Limitations
|-- | -----------

(a) No Award
may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date; provided, however, that the administration of the Plan shall continue in effect until all matters relating
to the payment of Awards previously granted have been settled.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
no Award shall be granted to a Participant with a purchase price of less than U.S.$10.16 per share prior to the date on which the Shares are listed on a U.S. national stock exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq Small Cap Market.

|6. | Terms and Conditions of Options
|-- | -------------------------------

Options granted under the Plan shall be, as determined by the Committee, nonqualified or incentive stock options for federal income tax
purposes, as evidenced by the related Award agreements, and shall be subject to the foregoing and the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall determine:



|(a) | Option Price. The Option Price per Share shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
an Option is granted; provided, however, that that in no event shall an Emergence Option be granted under the Plan with an Option Price per Share of less than U.S.$10.16For purposes hereof, Emergence Option shall mean one of the
Options issued on or about the Effective Date covering approximately 2.2 million Shares.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | Exercisability. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee, but in
no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time
any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of Section 6 of the Plan, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if applicable, the date payment
is received by the Company. The purchase price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company in full at the time of exercise at the election of the Participant in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by check).
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the applicable Award agreement so provides, the purchase price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised may be satisfied by (i) Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option
Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided such Shares meet such criteria as the Committee shall from time to time establish in light of accounting and other
considerations (e.g., (x) that such Shares have been held by the Participant free and clear for at least six months prior to their use to pay the exercise price, (y) that they have been purchased by the Participant in other than a
compensatory transaction, or (z) that they meet any other requirements for mature shares under generally acceptable accounting principles as may exist on the exercise date, as determined by the Committee); (ii) a combination of
cash or its equivalent and mature Shares; or (iii) the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate

| | Option Price for the shares being purchased in accordance with any rules as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment in the manner prescribed by
the preceding sentence shall not be permitted to the extent that the Committee determines that payment in such manner may result in an extension or maintenance of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer of
the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other applicable law. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant
has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan. If and to the extent permitted by the Committee, a Participant may
elect to defer receipt of the Shares in respect of which an Option is exercised pursuant to any deferred compensation plan of the Company which contemplates such deferral.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | ISOs. The Committee may grant Options under the Plan that are intended to be ISOs. Such ISOs shall comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code
(or any successor section thereto). No ISO may be granted to any Participant who, at the time of such grant, owns more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent
corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code) or any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Option Price per Share for such ISO is no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted and
(ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted. Any Participant who disposes of Shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO either
(i) within two years after the date of grant of such ISO or (ii) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition. To the
extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares for which ISO is exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds U.S.$100,000, such excess ISOs
shall be treated as non-qualified stock options to the extent required by the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, to the extent required by the Code no Option shall be treated as an ISO unless the Plan has been
approved by the shareholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the shareholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(i) of the Code; provided that any Option intended to be an ISO shall not fail to be effective solely on
account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as a nonqualified stock option unless and until such approval is obtained.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(e) | Attestation. Wherever in this Plan or any agreement evidencing an Award a Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option or
taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by

| | presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such Shares, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such number of Shares sufficient
to fully satisfy the obligation from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7. | Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights
|-- | -------------------------------------------------



|(a) | Grants. The Committee also may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation Right independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right in connection with an
Option, or a portion thereof. A Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or, except in the case of an ISO, at any time after the related
Option is granted but prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same Shares covered by an Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and (C) shall be subject to the same
terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in an Award agreement).

Option or (ii) the minimum amount permitted by applicable laws, rules, bye-laws or policies of regulatory authorities or stock exchanges. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise
to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the exercise price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. Each Stock
Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender to the Company the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount
equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the Option Price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. The date
a notice of exercise is received by the Company shall be the exercise date. Payment by the Company shall be made in Shares or in cash or its equivalent, or partly in Shares and partly in cash or its equivalent (any such Shares valued at such Fair
Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised from time to time upon actual receipt by the Company of written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock
Appreciation Right is being exercised. No fractional Shares will be issued in payment for Stock Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be paid for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of Shares will be rounded downward
to the next whole Share.

|(c) | Limitations. The Committee may impose, in its sole discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability or transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights as it may
deem fit. Except as otherwise provided in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted in connection with Options, a Stock Appreciation Right shall expire on a date designated by the Committee which is not later than ten years after the date of
grant of the Stock Appreciation Right.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | Limited Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant LSARs that are exercisable upon the occurrence of specified contingent events. Such LSARs may provide
for a different method of determining appreciation, may specify that payment will be made only in cash and may provide that any related Awards are not exercisable while such LSARs are exercisable. Unless the context otherwise requires, whenever the
term Stock Appreciation Right is used in the Plan, such term shall include LSARs.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8. | Other Stock-Based Awards
|-- | ------------------------



|(a) | Generally. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Awards of Shares, Awards of restricted Shares and Awards that are valued in whole or in part by
reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, Shares (Other Stock-Based Awards). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including,
without limitation, the right to receive one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Other
Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when other Stock-Based Awards will be made, the number of Shares to
be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares; and all other terms and conditions of such Awards (including,
without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable). The terms and conditions of all Other Stock-Based Awards shall be reflected in a written Award
agreement.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | Restricted Shares. Each Participant who receives an Other Stock-Based Award in the form of restricted Shares (Restricted Shares)
shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award agreement with respect to the Restricted Shares which sets forth the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Shares shall be held in escrow
rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee and
(ii) the appropriate blank stock powers with respect to the Restricted Shares covered by
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute a Restricted Share agreement and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and stock powers, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the
restrictions imposed by the Committee, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such Restricted Shares. At the discretion of the Committee, cash
dividends and stock dividends with respect to the Restricted Shares may be either currently paid to the Participant or withheld by the Company for the Participants account, and interest may be credited on the amount of cash dividends withheld
at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. The cash dividends or stock dividends so withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular Restricted Share (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed to
the Participant upon the release of restrictions on such Share and, if such Share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such cash dividends or stock dividends.

Each certificate representing Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall bear the following legend (or a legend to the
effect of the following) until the lapse of all restrictions with respect to such Restricted Shares:

Transfer of this
certificate and the shares represented hereby is restricted pursuant to the terms of the 2003 Global Crossing Limited. Stock Incentive Plan and a Restricted Share Award Agreement, dated as of
, between Global Crossing Limited and
. A copy of such Agreement is on file at the offices of Global Crossing Limited.

Stop transfer orders shall be entered with the Companys transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of legended securities.



|(c) | Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, certain Other Stock-Based Awards granted by the Committee on or after
the 162(m) Effective Date under this Section 8 may be granted in a manner which is deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto) (Performance-Based Awards). A Participants
Performance-Based Award shall be determined based on the attainment of written performance goals approved by the Committee for a performance period established by the Committee (i) while the outcome for that performance period is substantially
uncertain and (ii) no more than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to which the performance goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal to 25 percent of the relevant performance period. The performance
goals, which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more of the following criteria: (i) consolidated earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ii) net income;
(iii) operating income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) book value per Share; (vi) return on shareholders equity; (vii) expense management; (viii) return on investment; (ix) improvements in capital structure;
(x) profitability of an identifiable business unit or product; (xi) maintenance or improvement of profit

| | margins; (xii) stock price; (xiii) market share; (xiv) revenues or sales; (xv) costs; (xvi) cash flow; (xvii) working capital; (xviii) return on assets; and
(xix) cash on hand. The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of its Subsidiaries or one or more of its divisions or units, or any combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to
one or more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Committee shall determine. In addition, to the degree consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto), the performance goals may
be calculated without regard to extraordinary items. The maximum amount of a Performance-Based Award during a calendar year to any Participant shall be (x) with respect to Performance-Based Awards that are granted in shares, 500,000 shares and
(y) with respect to Performance-Based Awards that are not granted in shares, U.S.$10,000,000. The Committee shall determine whether, with respect to a performance period, the applicable performance goals have been met with respect to a given
Participant and, if they have, to so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance-Based Award. No Performance-Based Awards will be paid for such performance period until the Committee makes such certification. The amount of the
Performance-Based Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable performance goal formula, at the discretion of the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award determined by the Committee
for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of such performance period; provided, however, that a Participant may, if and to the extent permitted by the
Committee and consistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the applicable Award agreement, elect to defer payment of a Performance-Based Award.

|9. | Adjustments Upon Certain Events
|-- | -------------------------------

Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted under the
Plan:



|(a) | Generally. Awards granted under the Plan and any agreements evidencing such Awards, the maximum number of Shares subject to all Awards stated in
Section 3 and the maximum number of Shares with respect to which any one person may be granted Options or Stock Appreciation Rights during any period stated in Section 3 or any one person may be granted Performance-Based Awards during any
period stated in Section 8(c) shall be subject to adjustment or substitution, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as to the number, price or kind of a Share or other consideration subject to such Awards or as otherwise
determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of changes in the outstanding Shares or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock or extraordinary cash dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits,
recapitalization, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the date of grant of any such
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Award or (ii) in the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted
to, or available for, Participants, or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment because it interferes with the intended operation of the Plan.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | Change in Control. Except as otherwise provided in an Award agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee in its sole discretion and without
liability to any person may take such actions, if any, as it deems necessary or desirable with respect to any Award (including, without limitation, (i) the acceleration of an Award, (ii) the payment of cash, Shares or any combination
thereof, in exchange for the cancellation of an Award and/or (iii) the requiring of the issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected Awards previously granted hereunder) as of the
date of the consummation of the Change in Control.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10. | No Right to Employment or Awards
|--- | --------------------------------

The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Subsidiary to continue the employment or service
or consulting relationship of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Companys or Subsidiarys right to terminate the employment or service or consulting relationship of such Participant. No Participant or other person shall have
any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committees determinations and interpretations with
respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).



|11. | Successors and Assigns
|--- | ----------------------

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of such
Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participants creditors.



|12. | Nontransferability of Awards
|--- | ----------------------------

(a) Each Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participants lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable
law, by the Participants legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute
an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.



14



---

(b) Notwithstanding Section 12(a), the Committee may in the applicable Award agreement
or at any time after the date of grant of an Award in an amendment to an Award agreement provide that an Award (other than an Award of an Option which is intended to qualify as an ISO) may be transferred by a Participant without consideration,
subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award agreement to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to:



| | (i) | any person who is a family member of the Participant, as such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 (collectively, the Immediate Family
Members);
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members;
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or shareholders are the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | any other transferee as may be approved either (x) by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion, or (y) as provided in the applicable Award agreement;
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(each transferee described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above is hereinafter referred to as a Permitted
Transferee); provided that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply
with the requirements of the Plan and any applicable Award agreement.

(c) The terms of any Award transferred in accordance
with the immediately Section 12(b) shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in the Plan or in an Award agreement to an optionee or Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that (i) Permitted
Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Awards, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Awards which are Options unless there shall be in
effect a registration statement on an appropriate form covering the shares to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Award agreement, that such a registration statement is
necessary or appropriate, (iii) the Committee or the Company shall not be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant under the
Plan or otherwise, and (iv) the consequences of termination of the Participants employment by, or services to, the Company or a Subsidiary under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award agreement shall continue to be applied with
respect to the Participant, following which Awards which are Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the applicable Award agreement.



15



---

|13. | Amendments or Termination
|--- | -------------------------

(a) The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that no
such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without shareholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax, regulatory, exchange or other listing requirements applicable to the Plan
(including as necessary to prevent Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or Performance-Based Awards granted under the Plan on or after the 162(m) Effective Date from failing to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code); and provided furtherthat any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore
granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Board may not amend, alter or discontinue the provisions relating to
Section 9(b) of the Plan after the occurrence of a Change in Control.

(b) The Committee may, to the extent consistent
with the terms of any applicable Award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such
waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the
consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary. Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Committee reprice or regrant options or Stock Appreciation Rights at an exercise price below the
original exercise price applicable to such Award.



|14. | International Participants
|--- | --------------------------

Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, Awards may be granted to Participants who reside or are employed outside of
the United States of America on such terms and conditions as the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or to comply with foreign law, including, without limitation, the
establishment of subplans under this Plan. Any subplans or other modifications to Plan terms, conditions or procedures established under or adopted pursuant to this Section 14 by the Committee shall be attached to this Plan document as
Appendices.



|15. | Choice of Law
|--- | -------------

The Plan
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws.



16



---

|16. | Effectiveness of the Plan
|--- | -------------------------

The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date. On and after the 162(m) Effective Date the validity and exercisability of any and
all Awards granted thereafter pursuant to the Plan are contingent upon approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the shareholder approval requirements of (i) Section 162(m) of the Code
(unless an exception or grandfather rule applies, or Awards are otherwise exempt from the application of Section 162(m) of the Code).



|17. | Government and Other Regulation
|--- | -------------------------------

The obligation of the Company to make payment of Awards in Shares or otherwise or to issue Shares upon the exercise of Options or other
Awards shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation
to offer to sell or to sell and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling any Shares pursuant to an Award unless such Shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission
or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have
been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the Shares to be offered or sold under the Plan. If the Shares offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such Shares and may legend the stock certificates representing such Shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability
of any such exemption.



|18. | Miscellaneous
|--- | -------------

(a) Awards
to a Participant under the Plan also may be subject to such other provisions (whether or not applicable to the benefit awarded to any other Participant) as the Committee determines appropriate including, without limitation, provisions for the
forfeiture of or restrictions on resale or other disposition of Shares acquired under any Award, provisions giving the Company the right to repurchase Shares acquired under any Award in the event the Participant elects to dispose of such Shares,
provisions allowing the Participant to elect to defer the receipt of payment in respect of Awards for a specified period or until a specified event, and provisions to comply with Federal and state securities laws and Federal and state tax
withholding requirements. Any such provisions shall be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.



17



---

(b) Each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more
persons as the beneficiary who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan upon his death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his beneficiary designation without the
consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall
be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participants death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed
to be his or her spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, his or her estate.

(c) If the Committee
shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor
has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to
be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

(d) No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his
behalf in his capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer or director of the Company to
whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any
act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such persons own fraud or willful bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of
a claim against any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Companys Articles of Incorporation or Bye-Laws, as a matter
of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

(e) No provision of the
Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the
Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Holders shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general
creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law.



18



---

(f) Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the
shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options
otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

(g) Each
member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying, acting or failing to act, and shall not be liable for having so relied, acted or failed to act in good faith, upon any report made by the independent public
accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than himself.

(h) No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing,
group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan.

(i) The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates.

(j) Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women.

(k) The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text
of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall control.

(l) If any provision of the Plan or any Award agreement is or
becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed
amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
