 SHARES
SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 
 5.1. Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.1, the aggregate number of
Shares reserved and available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall be 3,899,227, of which 399,227 are available only for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Options and may not be granted as Awards of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units.

the Award will again be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan. 
  

 -8- 








 (b) For purposes of this Article 5, if an Award entitles the holder thereof to receive or
purchase Shares, the Shares covered by such Award or to which such Award relates shall be counted, in accordance with this Section 5.2(b), on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the
Plan. With respect to Options, the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan shall be reduced by one Share for each Share covered by such Award or to which such Award relates. With respect to any Awards that are granted on or after
June 19, 2008, other than Options, the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan shall be reduced by two Shares for each Share covered by such Award or to which such Award relates. Awards that do not entitle the holder thereof to
receive or purchase Shares and Awards that are settled in cash shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan. 
 (c) If the exercise price of an Option is satisfied by either delivering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation)
or through a “net exercise” feature, the full number of Shares subject to the Option shall be considered as issued for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under
the Plan. 
 (d) If Shares are withheld upon exercise of an Option to satisfy a Participant’s tax withholding
requirements, the full number of Shares subject to the Option shall be considered as issued for purposes of determining the number of Shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan. 
 5.3. Stock Distributed. Any Stock distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury
Stock or Stock purchased on the open market. 
 5.4. Limitation on Awards. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary
(but subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.1), the maximum number of Shares with respect to one or more Options that may be granted during any one calendar year under the Plan to any one Participant shall not exceed 221,793; provided,
however, that in connection with his initial employment with the Company or an Affiliate, a Participant may be granted Options with respect to up to an additional 88,717 Shares, which shall not count against the foregoing annual limit. The maximum
fair market value (measured as of the Grant Date) of any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards that may be received by any one Participant (less any consideration paid by the Participant for such Award) during any one calendar year under
the plan shall be $1,000,000. 
 ARTICLE 6

 ARTICLE 7 
 STOCK OPTIONS 
 7.1. General. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on
the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock under an Option shall
be determined by the Committee, provided that the exercise price for any Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the Grant Date. 
 (b) Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to Section 7.1(d). The Committee shall also determine
the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised or vested. Subject to Section 9.8, the Committee may waive any exercise or vesting provisions at any time in whole or in part
based upon factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion so that the Option becomes exercisable or vested at an earlier date. The Committee may permit an arrangement whereby receipt of Stock upon exercise of an Option is delayed
until a specified future date. 
 (c) Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of
an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, or other property (including “cashless exercise” arrangements), and the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to
Participants; provided, however, that if Shares are used to pay the exercise price of an Option, such Shares must have been held by the Participant as fully vested shares for such period of time, if any, as necessary to avoid variable accounting for
the Option. 
 (d) Exercise Term. In no event may any Option be exercisable for more than ten years from the Grant
Date. 
 7.2. Incentive Stock Options. The terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan must comply with the following
additional rules: 
 (a) Lapse of Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall lapse under the earliest of the following
circumstances; provided, however, that the Committee may, prior to the lapse of the Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in subsections (3), (4), (5) and (6) below, provide in writing that the Option will extend until a
later date, but if an Option is exercised after the dates specified in subsections (3) and (4) below, or more than three months after termination of employment for any other reason, it will automatically become a Non-Qualified Stock
Option: 
 (1) The expiration date set forth in the Award Certificate. 
 (2) The tenth anniversary of the Grant Date. 
  

 -10- 








 (3) Three months after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a
Participant for any reason other than the Participant’s Disability, death or termination for Cause.

the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant by reason of the Participant’s Disability. 
 (5) One year after the Participant’s death occurring during his Continuous Status as a Participant or during the three-month period described in subsection (3) above or the one-year period described in subsection (4) above
and before the Option otherwise lapses. 
 (6) The date of the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a
Participant if such termination is for Cause. 
 Unless the exercisability of the Incentive Stock Option is accelerated as provided in
Article 9, if a Participant exercises an Option after termination of his Continuous Status as a Participant, the Option may be exercised only with respect to the Shares that were otherwise vested on the date of termination of his Continuous Status
as a Participant. 
 (b) Individual Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant
Date) of all Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.00. 
 (c) Ten Percent Owners. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the Grant Date, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary unless the exercise price per share of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share at the Grant Date and the Option expires no later than five years after the Grant Date.

 (d) Expiration of Authority to Grant Incentive Stock Options. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted pursuant to
the Plan after the day immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. 
 (e) Right to Exercise.
During a Participant’s lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s Disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 
 (f) Eligible Recipients. Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to Eligible Participants who are not employees of the Company

Committee is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. 
 8.2. Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other
restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such
times, under such circumstances, in such installments, upon the satisfaction of performance goals or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Certificate,
the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, and the Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Restricted Stock Units until such time as Shares of Stock are paid
in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. 
 8.3. Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the
grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of Continuous Status as a Participant during the applicable restriction period or upon failure to satisfy a performance goal during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide in any Award Certificate that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units. 
 8.4. Certificates for Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be delivered to the Participant at the time
of grant either by book-entry registration or by delivering to the Participant, or a custodian or escrow agent (including, without limitation, the Company or one or more of its employees) designated by the Committee, a stock certificate or
certificates registered in the name of the Participant. If physical certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 
 9.1. Stand-Alone, Tandem, and Substitute
Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or (subject to Section 11.2(c)) in substitution for, any other Award granted under the Plan. If an
Award is granted in substitution for another Award, the Committee may require the surrender of such other Award in consideration of the grant of the new Award. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the
same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards. 
  

 -12- 








 9.2. Form of Payment for Options. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award
Certificate, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate on the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such form as the Committee determines at or after the Grant Date, including without limitation, cash, Stock, other
Awards, or other property, or any combination, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee.

 9.3. Limits on Transfer. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated
to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Award shall be
assignable or transferable by a Participant other than to a beneficiary designated as provided in 9.4 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order that
would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Option under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee concludes that such transferability
(i) does not result in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option to fail to be described in Code Section 422(b), and (iii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into
account any factors deemed relevant, including without limitation, state or federal tax or securities laws applicable to transferable Awards. 
 9.4. Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 9.3, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any
Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Certificate applicable to the
Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Certificate otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall
be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee. 
 9.5. Compliance with Laws. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems
necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place
legends on any stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. 
 9.6.
Acceleration upon Death. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or any Participant’s Award Certificate to the contrary, upon a Participant’s death during his Continuous Status as a Participant, all of such
Participant’s outstanding Options shall become fully vested and exercisable and all restrictions on the Participant’s outstanding Restricted Stock Awards shall lapse. Any Option shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the
other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(b), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock
Options.

 9.7. Acceleration upon a Change of Control. With respect to Awards outstanding as of
September 30, 2007, except as otherwise provided in the Award Certificate, all of a Participant’s outstanding Options shall become fully vested and exercisable and all restrictions on the Participant’s outstanding Restricted Stock
Awards shall lapse if the Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or the Participant resigns for Good Reason within two years after the effective date of a Change of Control. Any Options shall thereafter continue or lapse in
accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Certificates. 
 9.8. Acceleration for other Reasons.
Regardless of whether an event has occurred as described in Section 9.6 or 9.7 above, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time determine that, upon the termination of employment or service of a Participant, all or a portion of such
Participant’s Options shall become fully or partially exercisable and/or that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Awards shall lapse, in each case, as of such date as the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 9.8. 
 9.9. Effect of Acceleration. If an Award is accelerated under Section 9.6, 9.7 or 9.8, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide
(i) that the Award will expire after a designated period of time after such acceleration to the extent not then exercised, (ii) that the Award will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (iii) that the Award will be assumed by another
party to a transaction giving rise to the acceleration or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that the Award may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the
Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be
different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. To the extent that such acceleration causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(b), the excess Options
shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options. 
 9.10. Qualified Performance-Based Awards. 
 (a) The provisions of the Plan are intended to ensure that all Options granted hereunder to any Covered Employee qualify for the
Section 162(m) Exemption. 
 (b) When granting any Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may designate such Award as a
Qualified Performance-Based Award, based upon a determination that the recipient is or may be a Covered Employee with respect to such Award, and the Committee wishes such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. If an Award is so
designated, the Committee shall establish performance goals for such Award within the time period prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code based on one or more of the following Qualified Performance Criteria, which may be expressed in terms of
Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the performance of an 

  

 -14- 








 
Affiliate or a division, region, department or function within the Company or an Affiliate: (1) earnings per share, (2) EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (3) EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), (4) economic profit, (5) cash flow, (6) sales growth, (7) net profit before tax, (8) gross profit, (9) operating
income or profit, (10) return on equity, (11) return on assets, (12) return on capital, (13) changes in working capital, or (14) shareholder return. 
 (c) Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than an Option) shall be earned, vested and payable (as applicable) only upon the
achievement of performance goals established by the Committee based upon one or more of the Qualified Performance Criteria, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued employment, as the Committee may determine to be
appropriate; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, either in connection with the grant thereof or by amendment thereafter, that achievement of such performance goals will be waived upon the death or Disability of the Participant, or
upon termination of the Participant’s employment without Cause or for Good Reason within 12 months after the effective date of a Change of Control. 
 (d) Any payment of a Qualified Performance-Based Award granted with performance goals pursuant to subsection (c) above shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case that the
performance goals and any other material conditions were satisfied. Except as specifically provided in subsection (c), no Qualified Performance-Based Award may be amended, nor may the Committee exercise any discretionary authority it may otherwise
have under the Plan with respect to a Qualified Performance-Based Award under the Plan, in any manner to waive the achievement of the applicable performance goal based on Qualified Performance Criteria or to increase the amount payable pursuant
thereto or the value thereof, or otherwise in a manner that would cause the Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. 
 (e) Section 5.4 sets forth the maximum number of Shares or dollar value that may be granted in any one-year period to a Participant.

 9.11. Determination of Employment Status. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute
a termination of employment shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant shall not be deemed to
terminate (i) in a circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Company to an Affiliate, transfers from an Affiliate to the Company, or transfers from one Affiliate to another Affiliate, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee
as specified at or prior to such occurrence, in the case of a spin-off, sale or disposition of the Participant’s employer from the Company or any Affiliate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to extend beyond three
months from the date a Participant is deemed to be an employee of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary for purposes of Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, the Options held by such Participant shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options.

 ARTICLE 10 
 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 
 10.1. General. In the event of a corporate event or transaction
involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the authorization
limits under Section 5.1 and 5.4 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee shall adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Awards. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and
kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards; and (iv) any other adjustments that
the Committee determines to be equitable. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested and exercisable and will
expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction,
(iv) that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the
Award, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Without limiting the foregoing, in
the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Stock, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of shares, the authorization limits under
Section 5.1 and 5.4 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION
AND TERMINATION 
 11.1. Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to
time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without shareholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, either (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to
Participants, (ii) materially increase the number of Shares issuable under the Plan, (iii) expand the types of awards provided under the Plan, (iv) materially expand the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan,
(v) materially extend the term of the Plan, or (vi) otherwise constitute a material amendment requiring shareholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of an Exchange,
then such amendment shall be subject to shareholder approval; and provided, further, that the Board or Committee may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of shareholders of the Company if such approval is necessary or deemed
advisable to (i) permit Awards made hereunder to be exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, (ii) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an Exchange, or (iii) to satisfy any other tax, securities or
other applicable laws, policies or regulations. 
  

 -16- 








 11.2. Awards Previously Granted. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may, without
additional consideration, amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award without approval of the Participant; provided, however: 
 (a) Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Certificate, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been
exercised or cashed in at the spread value as of the date of such amendment or termination; 
 (b) The original term of an
Award may not be extended without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided
in Article 10, an Option may not be repriced, and the exercise price of an Award may not be reduced, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, an Award granted in substitution of another Award pursuant to Section 9.1), without the
prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; and 
 (d) No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall
adversely affect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant affected thereby. 
 ARTICLE
12 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 12.1. No Rights to Awards; Non-Uniform Determinations. No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor the Committee is obligated to
treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly, and determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such Eligible
Participants are similarly situated). 
 12.2. No Shareholder Rights. No Award gives a Participant any of the rights of a shareholder
of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award. 
 12.3. Withholding. The
Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA
obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. If Shares are surrendered to the Company to satisfy withholding obligations in excess of the
minimum withholding obligation, such Shares must have been held by the Participant as fully vested shares for such period of time, if any, as necessary to avoid variable accounting for the Award. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable
event under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, require or permit that any such withholding requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Award Shares having a Fair Market Value on
the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. 
  

 -17- 








 12.4. No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan, any Award Certificate or any other
document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer, director consultant or advisor at any
time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, director, consultant or advisor of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a Participant’s Award or otherwise. 
 12.5. Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to
any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

 12.6. Indemnification. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or
proceeding to which such member may be a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such member in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or
proceeding against him provided he gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. 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 Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 12.7. Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any
pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan. 
 12.8. Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company or its Affiliates. 
 12.9. Titles and Headings. 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.

 12.10. Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the
feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 12.11. Fractional Shares. No fractional
Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down. 
  

 -18- 








 12.12. Government and Other Regulations. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any period of
time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act), sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made (i) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act, such as that set forth in Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the Committee shall
determine that the registration, listing or qualification of the Shares covered by an Award upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary
or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Award or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Award unless and until such registration, listing,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award shall make such representations and agreements and
furnish such information as the Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan
prior to the Committee’s determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state or foreign law or to take any other
action in order to cause the issuance and delivery of such certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement. 
 12.13.
Governing Law. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Florida. 
 12.14. Additional Provisions. Each Award Certificate may contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided that
such other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 
 12.15. No Limitations on Rights of Company.
The grant of any Award shall not in any way affect the right to power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any
part of its business or assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for proper corporate purposes, to grant or assume Awards, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company
may issue or transfer Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Award
granted to such Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
