 “Management Objectives” means the measurable performance objective or
objectives established pursuant to this Plan for Participants who have received grants of Performance Shares, Performance Units or Cash Incentive Awards or, when so determined by the Committee, Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares,
Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Shares, dividend equivalents or other awards pursuant to this Plan. Management Objectives may be described in terms of Corporation-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of the
individual Participant or of one or more of the Subsidiaries, divisions, departments, regions, functions or other organizational units within the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. The Management Objectives may be made relative to the
performance of other companies or subsidiaries, divisions, departments, regions, functions or other organizational units within such other 

  
 3 








 
companies, and may be made relative to an index or one or more of the performance objectives themselves. The Committee may grant awards subject to Management Objectives that are either
Qualified Performance-Based Awards or are not Qualified Performance-Based Awards. The Management Objectives applicable to any Qualified Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee will be based on one or more, or a combination, of the
following criteria: cash flow; comparisons with various stock market indices; cost of capital; customer service; debt reduction; earnings; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization;

objectively determinable to the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code, and, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and to the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, will exclude the effects of certain designated items
identified at the time of grant. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Corporation, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or
circumstances render the Management Objectives unsuitable, the Committee may in its discretion modify such Management Objectives or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate and
equitable, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the
Code. In such case, the Committee will not make any modification of the Management Objectives or minimum acceptable level of achievement with respect to such Covered Employee. 

“Market Value per Share” means as of any particular date the closing sale price of the Common Shares as reported on the New
York Stock Exchange or, if not listed on such exchange, on any other national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed. If the Common Shares are not traded as of any given date, the Market Value per Share means the closing
price for the Common Shares on the principal exchange on which the Common Shares are traded for the immediately preceding date on which the Common Shares were traded. If there is no regular public trading market for the Common Shares, the
Market Value per Share of the Common Shares shall be the fair market value of the Common Shares as determined in good faith by the Committee. The Committee is authorized to adopt another fair market value pricing method, provided such method is
stated in the Evidence of Award, and is in compliance with the fair market value pricing rules set forth in Section 409A of the Code.

such capacity within 90 days of the Date of Grant, and shall also include each Nonemployee Director who receives an award pursuant to this Plan. The term “Participant” shall also include any person who provides services to
the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that are equivalent to those typically provided by an employee (provided that such person satisfies the Form S-8 definition of “employee”). 

“Performance Period” means, in respect of a Cash Incentive Award, Performance Share or Performance Unit, a period of time
established pursuant to Section 9 of this Plan within which the Management Objectives relating thereto are to be achieved. 

“Performance Share” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of one Common Share awarded pursuant to
Section 9 of this Plan.

$1.00 or such other value as is determined by the Committee awarded pursuant to Section 9 of this Plan. 
 “Qualified
Performance-Based Award” means any Cash Incentive Award or award of Performance Shares, Performance Units, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, or other awards contemplated under Section 10 of this Plan, or portion of
such award, to a Covered Employee that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

which the Market Value per Share on the date when any such right is exercised exceeds the Base Price specified for such right or, in the case of a Tandem Appreciation Right, the amount by which the Market Value per Share on the date when any such
right is exercised exceeds the Option Price specified for the related Option Right. 
 “Subsidiary” means a corporation,
partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association or other entity in which the applicable parent entity has a direct or indirect ownership or other equity interest; provided, however, for purposes of determining whether any person
may be a Participant for purposes of any grant of Incentive Stock Options, “Subsidiary” means any corporation in which the applicable parent entity owns or controls directly or indirectly more than 50 percent of the total
combined voting power represented by all classes of stock issued by such entity at the time of such grant. 
 “Tandem Appreciation
Right” means an Appreciation Right granted pursuant to Section 5 of this Plan that is granted in tandem with an Option Right or any similar right granted under any other plan of the Corporation. 

 

	3.	Maximum Shares Available Under the Plan; Life of Plan Limits; Individual Participant Limits. 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 of this Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued or transferred (i) upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, (ii) as
Restricted Shares and released from all substantial risks of forfeiture, (iii) in payment of Restricted Stock Units, (iv) as Deferred Shares, (v) in payment of Performance Shares or Performance Units that have been earned, (vi) as Common Share
awards to Nonemployee Directors, (vii) as awards contemplated by Section 10 of this Plan, or (viii) in payment of dividend equivalents paid with respect to awards made under this Plan, shall not in the aggregate exceed 11,050,000
Common Shares (consisting of 6,750,000 Common Shares originally approved in 2014 and 4,300,000 Common Shares anticipated to be approved by shareholders at the Corporation’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders) (the “Available Common
Shares”). The Available Common Shares may be Common Shares of original issuance or Common Shares held in treasury, or a combination thereof. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Common Share issued or transferred (and, in the case of Restricted Shares, released from all substantial risks of forfeiture) pursuant to any award (other than an Option Right or Appreciation Right) granted under
this Plan shall, for purposes of Section 3(a) of this Plan, (i) with respect to awards granted prior to the Effective Date, reduce the number of Available Common Shares by two and forty-six one hundredths (2.46) Common Shares for each
such issued or transferred Common Share, and (ii) with respect to awards granted on or after the Effective Date, reduce the number of Available Common Shares by two and one-half (2.50) Common Shares for each such issued or transferred Common Share
(in each case instead of one Common Share). Each Common Share issued or transferred pursuant to any Option Right or Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall, for purposes of Section 3(a) of this Plan, reduce the number of
Available Common Shares by one Common Share. 


  
 6 









	 	(c)	Common Shares covered by an award granted under this Plan shall not be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant, as described above, and, therefore, the total number of
Available Common Shares under this Plan as of a given date shall not be reduced by any Common Shares relating to prior awards that have expired or have been forfeited or cancelled. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon payment
in cash of the benefit provided by any award granted under this Plan, any Common Shares that were covered by that award will again be available for issue or transfer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) if
Common Shares are tendered or otherwise used in payment of the Option Price of an Option Right, the total number of shares covered by the Option Right being exercised shall count against the Available Common Shares; (ii) Common Shares withheld by
the Corporation or otherwise tendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall count against the Available Common Shares; (iii) Common Shares that are repurchased by the Corporation with Option Right proceeds shall not be added to the Available
Common Shares; and (iv) the gross number of Common Shares covered by an Appreciation Right, to the extent that it is exercised and settled in Common Shares, and whether or not Common Shares are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the
Appreciation Right, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to this Plan. If, under this Plan, a Participant has elected to give up the right to receive compensation in exchange for Common Shares based on fair market value, such
Common Shares will not count against the Available Common Shares. 

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 of this Plan: 


 

	 	(i)	The aggregate number of Common Shares actually issued or transferred by the Corporation upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 11,050,000 Common Shares; 


 

	 	(ii)	No Participant shall be granted Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, in the aggregate, for more than 1,000,000 Common Shares during any calendar year; 


 

	 	(iii)	No Participant will be granted Qualified Performance-Based Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or other awards under Section 10 of this Plan, in the aggregate, for more
than 1,000,000 Common Shares during any calendar year; 

  

	 	(iv)	In no event will any Participant in any calendar year receive a Qualified Performance-Based Award of Performance Units or other awards payable in cash under Section 10 of this Plan having an aggregate
maximum value as of their respective Dates of Grant in excess of $6,000,000; 


  
 7 









	 	(v)	No Nonemployee Director will be granted, in any period of one calendar year, awards under the Plan having an aggregate maximum value in excess of $500,000. 


 

	 	(vi)	In no event will any Participant in any calendar year receive a Qualified Performance-Based Award that is a Cash Incentive Award having an aggregate maximum value in excess of $6,000,000. 


 

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, up to 5% of the Available Common Shares, as may be adjusted under Section 14 of this Plan, may be used for awards granted under Section
4 through Section 11 of this Plan that do not at grant comply with the applicable one-year minimum vesting or performance period requirements set forth in such sections of this Plan. 


 

	4.	Option Rights. The Committee may, from time to time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize grants to Participants of options to purchase Common Shares. Each such grant may
utilize any or all of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the requirements contained in the following provisions: 

  

	 	(a)	Each grant shall specify the number of Common Shares to which it pertains, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 of this Plan. 


 

	 	(b)	Each grant shall specify an Option Price per Common Share, which (except with respect to awards under Section 23 of this Plan) shall be equal to or greater than the Market Value per Share on the Date of
Grant. 

  

	 	(c)	Each grant shall specify the form of consideration to be paid in satisfaction of the Option Price and the manner of payment of such consideration, which may include (i) cash in the form of currency or check or other
cash equivalent acceptable to the Corporation, (ii) nonforfeitable, unrestricted Common Shares, which are already owned by the Optionee and have a value at the time of exercise that is equal to the total Option Price, (iii) subject to any conditions
or limitations established by the Committee, the Corporation’s withholding Common Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of an Option Right pursuant to a “net exercise” arrangement (it being understood that, solely for purposes of
determining the number of treasury shares held by the Corporation, the Common Shares so withheld shall not be treated as issued and acquired by the Corporation upon such exercise), (iv) any other legal consideration that the Committee may deem
appropriate, including without limitation any form of consideration authorized under Section 4(d) below, on such basis as the Committee may determine in accordance with this Plan and (v) any combination of the foregoing.


  

	 	(d)	To the extent permitted by law, any grant may provide for deferred payment of the Option Price from the proceeds of sale through a bank or broker on the date of exercise of some or all of the Common Shares to which the
exercise relates. 

  

	 	(e)	Successive grants may be made to the same Participant regardless of whether any Option Rights previously granted to such Participant remain unexercised. 


  
 8 









	 	(f)	Each grant shall specify the period or periods of continuous service by the Optionee with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that is necessary before the Option Rights or installments thereof shall become
exercisable; provided, that, except as otherwise described in this subsection, no grant of Option Rights may become exercisable sooner than after one year or a one-year performance period. A grant of Option Rights may provide for the
earlier exercisability of such rights, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in
Section 13). 

  

	 	(g)	Any grant of Option Rights may specify Management Objectives that must be achieved as a condition to the exercise of such rights. 

  

	 	(h)	Option Rights granted under this Plan may be (i) options that are intended to qualify under particular provisions of the Code, including, without limitation, Incentive Stock Options, (ii) options that are not intended
to so qualify or (iii) combinations of the foregoing. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Participants who meet the definition of “employees” under Section 3401(c) of the Code. 


 

	 	(i)	Option Rights granted under this Plan shall not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon. 

  

	 	(j)	The exercise of an Option Right will result in the cancellation on a Common Share-for-Common Share basis of any Tandem Appreciation Right authorized under Section 5 of this Plan. 


 

	 	(k)	No Option Right granted under this Plan may be exercised more than 10 years from the Date of Grant. 

  

	 	(l)	Each grant shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which shall contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. 


 

	5.	Appreciation Rights. The Committee may, from time to time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize grants to Participants of Appreciation Rights. A Tandem Appreciation Right will be
a right of the Optionee, exercisable by surrender of the related Option Right, to receive from the Corporation an amount determined by the Committee, which will be expressed as a percentage (not exceeding 100 percent) of the Spread at the time of
exercise. Tandem Appreciation Rights may be granted at any time prior to the exercise or termination of the related Option Rights; provided, however, that a Tandem Appreciation Right awarded in relation to an Incentive Stock
Option must be granted concurrently with such Incentive Stock Option. A Free-Standing Appreciation Right will be a right of the Participant to receive from the Corporation an amount determined by the Committee, which will be expressed as a
percentage (not exceeding 100 percent) of the Spread at the time of exercise. Each such grant may utilize any or all of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the requirements contained in the following provisions: 


 

	 	(a)	Any grant may specify that the amount payable upon the exercise of an Appreciation Right may be paid by the Corporation in cash, Common Shares or any combination thereof and may (i) either grant to the Participant or
reserve to the Committee the right to elect among those alternatives or (ii) preclude the right of the Participant to receive and the Corporation to issue Common Shares or other equity securities in lieu of cash; provided, however,
that no form of consideration or manner of payment that would cause Rule 16b-3 to cease to apply to this Plan shall be permitted. 


  
 9 









	 	(b)	Any grant may specify that the amount payable upon the exercise of an Appreciation Right shall not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant. 


 

	 	(c)	Any grant may specify (i) a waiting period or periods before Appreciation Rights shall become exercisable and (ii) permissible dates or periods on or during which Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable.


  

	 	(d)	Each grant may specify the period or periods of continuous service by the Participant with the Corporation or any Subsidiary that is necessary before the Appreciation Rights or installments thereof will become
exercisable; provided, that, except as otherwise described in this subsection, no grant of Appreciation Rights may become exercisable sooner than after one year or a one-year performance period. A grant of Appreciation Rights may provide
for the earlier exercise of such Appreciation Rights, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in
Section 13). 

  

	 	(e)	Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan shall not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon. 

  

	 	(f)	Each grant shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which shall describe the subject Appreciation Rights, identify any related Option Rights, state that the Appreciation Rights are subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Plan and contain such other terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. 

  

	 	(g)	Any grant of Appreciation Rights may specify Management Objectives that must be achieved as a condition of the exercise of such rights. 


 

	 	(h)	Regarding Tandem Appreciation Rights only: each grant shall provide that a Tandem Appreciation Right may be exercised only (i) at a time when the related Option Right (or any similar right granted under any other
plan of the Corporation) is also exercisable and the Spread is positive and (ii) by surrender of the related Option Right (or such other right) for cancellation. 


  
 10 









	 	(i)	Regarding Free-Standing Appreciation Rights only: 

  

	 	(i)	Each grant shall specify in respect of each Free-Standing Appreciation Right a Base Price per Common Share, which (except with respect to awards under Section 23 of this Plan) shall be equal to or greater
than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant; 

  

	 	(ii)	Successive grants may be made to the same Participant regardless of whether any Free-Standing Appreciation Rights previously granted to such Participant remain unexercised; and 


 

	 	(iii)	No Free-Standing Appreciation Right granted under this Plan may be exercised more than 10 years from the Date of Grant. 

  

	6.	Restricted Shares. The Committee may also authorize grants or sales to Participants of Restricted Shares upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Each such grant or sale may utilize any
or all of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the requirements contained in the following provisions: 

  

	 	(a)	Each grant or sale shall constitute an immediate transfer of the ownership of Common Shares to the Participant in consideration of the performance of services, entitling such Participant to dividend, voting and other
ownership rights, subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer hereinafter referred to. 

  

	 	(b)	Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant.


  

	 	(c)	Each grant or sale shall provide that the Restricted Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code for a period to be determined by
the Committee on the Date of Grant or until Management Objectives referred to in subparagraph (e) below are achieved. If the elimination of restrictions is based only on the passage of time, the period of time will be no shorter than one year.


  

	 	(d)	Each grant or sale shall provide that, during the period for which such substantial risk of forfeiture is to continue, the transferability of the Restricted Shares shall be prohibited or restricted in the manner and to
the extent prescribed by the Committee on the Date of Grant. Such restrictions may include without limitation rights of repurchase or first refusal in the Corporation or provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares to a continuing substantial
risk of forfeiture in the hands of any transferee. 

  

	 	(e)	 Any grant of Restricted Shares may specify Management Objectives which, if achieved, will result in termination
or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares; provided, however, that, for Restricted Shares that vest upon the achievement of Management Objectives the performance period must be at least one
year. Each such grant may specify in respect of such specified Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of 



  
 11 









	 	
achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of Restricted Shares on which restrictions will terminate if performance is at or above the minimum level, but falls short of
full achievement of the specified Management Objectives. 

  

	 	(f)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan (including minimum vesting requirements), any grant or sale of Restricted Shares may provide for the earlier termination of restrictions on such Restricted
Shares, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in Section 13); provided,
however, that no award of Restricted Shares intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award will provide for such early termination of restrictions (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in
Control) to the extent such provisions would cause such award to fail to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award. 

  

	 	(g)	Any grant or sale may require that any or all dividends or other distributions paid on the Restricted Shares during the period of such restrictions be automatically sequestered; provided, however, that
dividends or other distributions on Restricted Shares with restrictions that lapse as a result of the achievement of Management Objectives shall be deferred until and paid contingent upon the achievement of the applicable Management
Objectives. Sequestered dividends or other distributions may be reinvested on an immediate or deferred basis in additional Common Shares, which may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying award or such other restrictions as the
Committee may determine. 

  

	 	(h)	Each grant or sale shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which shall contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, (i)
all certificates representing Restricted Shares will be held in custody by the Corporation until all restrictions thereon will have lapsed, together with a stock power or powers executed by the Participant in whose name such certificates are
registered, endorsed in blank and covering such Restricted Shares, or (ii) all Restricted Shares will be held at the Corporation’s transfer agent in book entry form with appropriate restrictions relating to the transfer of such Restricted
Shares. 

  

	7.	Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may also authorize the granting or sale of Restricted Stock Units to Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Each such grant or
sale may utilize any or all of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the requirements contained in the following provisions: 

  

	 	(a)	 Each grant or sale will constitute the agreement by the Corporation to deliver Common Shares or cash, or a
combination thereof, to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, but subject to the fulfillment of such conditions (which may include the achievement of Management Objectives) during the Restriction Period as
the Committee may specify. A grant of Restricted Stock Units may specify that the Restriction Period will terminate only 



  
 12 









	 	
upon the achievement of Management Objectives; provided, however, that for Restricted Stock Units that vest upon the achievement of Management Objectives, the performance period
must be at least one year. Each grant may specify in respect of such Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of Restricted Stock Units on which restrictions will
terminate if performance is at or above the minimum level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives. 

  

	 	(b)	Each such grant or sale may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by such Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share at the Date of Grant. 


 

	 	(c)	If the Restriction Period lapses only by the passage of time rather than the achievement of Management Objectives as provided in subparagraph (a) above, each such grant or sale will be subject to a Restriction Period of
not less than one year. 

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan (including minimum vesting requirements), any grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units may provide for the earlier lapse or modification of the Restriction
Period, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in Section 13); provided,
however, that no award of Restricted Stock Units intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award will provide for such early lapse or modification of the Restriction Period (other than in connection with the death or disability of the
Participant or a Change in Control) to the extent such provisions would cause such award to fail to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award. 

  

	 	(e)	During the Restriction Period, the Participant will have no rights of ownership in the Common Shares deliverable upon payment of the Restricted Stock Units and shall have no right to vote them, but the Committee may at
the Date of Grant, authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such Restricted Stock Units on either a current, deferred or contingent basis, either in cash or in additional Common Shares; provided, however, that dividend
equivalents or other distributions on Common Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units with restrictions that lapse as a result of the achievement of Management Objectives shall be deferred until and paid contingent upon the achievement of the
applicable Management Objectives. 

  

	 	(f)	Each grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units will specify the time and manner of payment of the Restricted Stock Units that have been earned. 


 

	 	(g)	Each grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award and will contain such terms and provisions, consistent with this Plan, as the Committee may approve. 


  
 13 









	8.	Deferred Shares. The Committee may also authorize grants or sales of Deferred Shares to Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Each such grant may utilize any or all
of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the requirements contained in the following provisions: 

  

	 	(a)	Each grant or sale shall constitute the agreement by the Corporation to issue or transfer Common Shares to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, subject to the fulfillment during
the Deferral Period of such conditions as the Committee may specify. 

  

	 	(b)	Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant.


  

	 	(c)	Each grant or sale shall provide that the Deferred Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a Deferral Period to be determined by the Committee on the Date of Grant or until Management Objectives referred to in
subparagraph (e) below are achieved; provided, however, that for Deferred Shares that vest upon the achievement of Management Objectives, the performance period must be at least one year; and provided, further, that if
the Deferral Period lapses only by the passage of time rather than the achievement of Management Objectives, such Deferral Period will be not less than one year. 

  


	 	(d)	During the Deferral Period, the Participant shall not have any right to transfer any rights under the subject award, shall not have any rights of ownership in the Deferred Shares and shall not have any right to vote
such Deferred Shares, but the Committee may on or after the Date of Grant authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such shares in cash or additional Common Shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis; provided, however,
that dividend equivalents on Deferred Shares with restrictions that lapse as a result of the achievement of Management Objectives shall be deferred until and paid contingent upon the achievement of the applicable Management Objectives.


  

	 	(e)	Any grant of Deferred Shares may specify Management Objectives which, if achieved, will result in termination or early termination of the Deferral Period applicable to such Deferred Shares. Each such grant may
specify in respect of such specified Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of Deferred Shares for which the Deferral Period will terminate if performance is at or above
the minimum level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives. 

  

	 	(f)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan (including minimum vesting requirements), any
grant or sale of Deferred Shares may provide for the earlier termination of the Deferral Period relating to such Deferred Shares, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of
a Change in Control, as further 



  
 14 









	 	
described in Section 13); provided, however, that no award of Deferred Shares intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award will
provide for such early termination of the Deferral Period (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) to the extent such provisions would cause such award to fail to be a Qualified
Performance-Based Award. 

  

	 	(g)	Each grant or sale shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which shall contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. 


 

	9.	Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash Incentive Awards. The Committee may also authorize grants to Participants of Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash Incentive Awards, which shall become
payable to the Participant upon the achievement of specified Management Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Each such grant may utilize any or all of the authorizations and shall be subject to all of the
requirements contained in the following provisions: 

  

	 	(a)	Each grant shall specify the number or amount of Performance Shares or Performance Units, or amount payable with respect to Cash Incentive Awards, to which it pertains, subject to the limitations in Section
3, which may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors; provided, however, that no such adjustment will be made in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection
with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code. 


 

	 	(b)	The Performance Period with respect to each Cash Incentive Award, Performance Share or Performance Unit will be such period of time (not less than one year) as shall be determined by the Committee on the Date of Grant
and may be subject to earlier termination, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in
Section 13); provided, however, that no such award intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award will provide for such early termination (other than in connection with the death or
disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code. 


 

	 	(c)	Each grant shall specify the Management Objectives which, if achieved, will result in payment or early payment of the award, and each grant may specify in respect of the specified Management Objectives a minimum
acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above the minimum acceptable level but falls short of full achievement of
the specified Management Objectives. The grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units will specify that, before the Performance Shares or Performance Units will be earned and paid, the Board must certify that the Management Objectives have been
satisfied. 


  
 15 









	 	(d)	Each grant shall specify the time and manner of payment of Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units that shall have been earned, and any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units may specify
that any such amount may be paid by the Corporation in cash, Common Shares, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units, or in any combination thereof. 

  

	 	(e)	Any grant of Performance Shares may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant. Any grant of Performance Units or Cash Incentive Awards
may specify that the amount payable, or the number of Common Shares issued, with respect thereto may not exceed maximums specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant. 


 

	 	(f)	Any grant of Performance Shares may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or in additional Common Shares, subject in all cases to deferral and payment on a contingent basis
based on the Participant’s earning of the Performance Shares with respect to which such dividend equivalents are paid. 

  

	 	(g)	Each grant of Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which shall contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this
Plan. 

  

	10.	Other Awards. 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to applicable law and the applicable limits set forth in Section 3 of this Plan, the Committee may grant to any Participant such other awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole
or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Common Shares or factors that may influence the value of such Common Shares, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or
exchangeable into Common Shares, purchase rights for Common Shares, awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, affiliates or other business units thereof or any other factors designated by the
Committee, and awards valued by reference to the book value of the Common Shares or the value of securities of, or the performance of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or other business units of the Corporation. The Committee will determine the
terms and conditions of such awards. Common Shares delivered pursuant to an award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 10 will be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such time, by such methods,
and in such forms, including, without limitation, Common Shares, other awards, notes or other property, as the Committee determines. 


  
 16 









	 	(b)	Cash awards, as an element of or supplement to any other award granted under this Plan, may also be granted pursuant to this Section 10. 


 

	 	(c)	The Committee may grant Common Shares as a bonus, or may grant other awards in lieu of obligations of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to pay cash or deliver other property under this Plan or under other plans
or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as will be determined by the Committee in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. 

  

	 	(d)	If the earning or vesting of, or elimination of restrictions applicable to an award granted under this Section 10 is based only on the passage of time, the period of time shall be no shorter than one
year. If the earning or vesting of, or elimination of restrictions applicable to, awards granted under this Section 10 is based on the achievement of Management Objectives, the performance period must be at least one year.


  

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan (including minimum vesting requirements), any grant of an award under this Section 10 may provide for the earning or vesting of, or earlier
elimination of restrictions applicable to, such award, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control, as further described in
Section 13); provided, however, that no such adjustment will be made in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the death or disability of the
Participant or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code. 


 

	11.	Common Share Awards to Nonemployee Directors. To clarify, the Board may, from time to time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize the granting to Nonemployee Directors of Common
Shares. Awards of Common Shares to Nonemployee Directors shall be subject only to a restriction on transfer for a period of one year immediately following the Date of Grant thereof and shall bear a legend to that effect. 


 

	12.	Transferability. 

  

	 	(a)	No Option Right, Appreciation Right or other derivative security (as that term is used in Rule 16b-3) awarded under this Plan shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Option Rights and Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable during a Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s legal incapacity, by his guardian or legal representative acting in a
fiduciary capacity on behalf of the Participant under state law and/or court supervision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for transferability of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights under this
Plan; provided, however, that no awards granted under this Plan may be transferred in exchange for value or consideration. 

  

	 	(b)	Any award made under this Plan may provide that all or any part of the Common Shares that are (i) to be issued or transferred by the Corporation upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, or upon the
termination of the Deferral Period applicable to Deferred Shares, or upon the termination of the Restriction Period applicable to Restricted Stock Units, or in payment of Performance Shares or Performance Units or (ii) no longer subject to the
substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 6 of this Plan, shall be subject to further restrictions upon transfer. 


  
 17 









	13.	Change in Control.

  

	 	(a)	Each applicable Evidence of Award will provide that, in the event of a Change in Control, for outstanding awards under this Plan that vest, are earned or become exercisable (as applicable) based solely on employment,
service or the passage of time (as opposed to the achievement of one or more Management Objectives), such awards will accelerate and vest, be earned or become exercisable, as applicable, where either (i) within a specified period the
Participant’s employment or service is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause, the Participant terminates his or her employment or service for good reason or the Participant’s employment or service is terminated due to
the Participant’s death or disability, or (ii) such awards are not assumed or converted into replacement awards in a manner described in the Evidence of Award. 


 

	 	(b)	Each applicable Evidence of Award will provide that, in the event of a Change in Control, for outstanding awards under this Plan that vest, are earned or become exercisable (as applicable) based on the achievement of
one or more Management Objectives (as opposed to only employment, service or the passage of time), such awards will accelerate and vest, be earned or become exercisable, as applicable, on a pro-rata basis based on actual performance (or the Common
Share price relating to the Change in Control, if applicable) for a fractional performance period deemed to end in connection with the Change in Control, where either (i) within a specified period the Participant’s employment or service is
involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause, the Participant terminates his or her employment or service for good reason or the Participant’s employment or service is terminated due to the Participant’s death or disability,
or (ii) such awards are not assumed or converted into replacement awards in a manner described in the Evidence of Award. 

  

	14.	 Adjustments. The Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments in the (a) number of Common
Shares or number of Common Shares covered by outstanding Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Shares, Performance Shares and Performance Units granted hereunder, (b) prices per share applicable to
such Option Rights and Appreciation Rights, (c) if applicable, number of Common Shares covered by other awards granted pursuant to Section 10 hereof, (d) kind of shares (including shares of another issuer) covered thereby, and (e) Cash
Incentive Awards, as the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith determines to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that




  
 18 









	 	
otherwise would result from (x) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation, (y) any merger,
consolidation, spin-off, spin-out, split-off, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or (z) any other corporate transaction or event having an
effect similar to any of the foregoing. In the event of any such transaction or event, or in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee shall provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards under this Plan such alternative
consideration (including cash) as it in good faith determines to be equitable under the circumstances and shall require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the
Code. Moreover, the Committee may on or after the Date of Grant provide in the agreement evidencing any award under this Plan that the holder of the award may elect to receive an equivalent award in respect of securities of the surviving entity
of any merger, consolidation or other transaction or event having a similar effect, or the Committee may provide that the holder will automatically be entitled to receive such an equivalent award. In addition, for each Option Right or
Appreciation Right with an Option Price or Base Price greater than the consideration offered in connection with any such transaction or event or Change in Control, the Committee may in its sole discretion elect to cancel such Option Right or
Appreciation Right without any payment to the person holding such Option Right or Appreciation Right. The Committee shall also make or provide for such adjustments in the numbers and kind of shares specified in Section 3 as the
Committee in its sole discretion in good faith determines to be appropriate in order to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 14; provided, however, that any such adjustment to the number specified in
Section 3(d)(i) will be made only if and to the extent that such adjustment would not cause any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail to so qualify. 


 

	15.	Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue any fractional Common Shares pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement thereof
in cash. 

  

	16.	Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Corporation is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person
under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Corporation for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make
arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. At the discretion of the Committee, such arrangements may include the tender by the Participant or such other person or the
withholding by the Corporation of Common Shares to provide for such withholding taxes. Any Evidence of Award may provide for such arrangements, subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may approve. In no event shall the
value of the Common Shares to be tendered or withheld pursuant to this Section to satisfy applicable withholding taxes in connection with the benefit exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld (unless such higher withholding amounts
would not result in adverse accounting implications for the Corporation). 


  
 19 









	17.	Certain Terminations of Employment. If permitted by Section 409A of the Code and Section 162(m), but subject to the paragraph that follows, notwithstanding the Plan’s minimum vesting requirements, and
including in the case of termination of employment by reason of death, disability or normal retirement or early retirement, or in the case of unforeseeable emergency or other special circumstances or in the event of a Change in Control, to the
extent a Participant holds an Option Right or Appreciation Right not immediately exercisable in full, or any Restricted Shares as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, or any
Deferred Shares as to which the Deferral Period is not complete, or any Restricted Stock Units as to which the Restriction Period has not been completed, or any Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units which have not been fully
earned, or any other awards made pursuant to Section 10 subject to any vesting schedule or transfer restriction, or who holds Common Shares subject to any transfer restriction imposed pursuant to Section 12(b) of this
Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, take any action that it deems to be equitable under the circumstances or in the best interests of the Corporation, including, without limitation, accelerate the time at which such Option Right,
Appreciation Right or other award may be exercised or the time at which such substantial risk of forfeiture or prohibition or restriction on transfer will lapse or the time when such Restriction Period will end or the time at which such Cash
Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have been fully earned or the time when such transfer restriction will terminate or may waive any other limitation or requirement under any such award, except in the case of
a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code. 


Subject to Section 20(b) hereof, the Committee may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted under this Plan prospectively
or retroactively, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the Participant’s death or disability, or a Change in Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available
exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code. In such case, the Committee will not make any modification of the Management Objectives or the level or levels of achievement with respect to such Qualified Performance-Based
Award. Subject to Section 14 above, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent. The Committee may, in its discretion, terminate this Plan at any time. Termination of this Plan
will not affect the rights of Participants or their successors under any awards outstanding hereunder and not exercised in full on the date of termination. 
  

	18.	 Non-U.S. Participants. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under
this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, who are employed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries outside of the United States of America or who provide services to the
Corporation under an agreement with a foreign nation or agency, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or
amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan (including, without limitation, sub-plans) as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting




  
 20 









	 	
the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the Secretary or other appropriate officer of the Corporation may certify any such document as having been approved and adopted in
the same manner as this Plan. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate
such inconsistency without further approval by the shareholders of the Corporation. 

  

	19.	Administration of the Plan. 

  

	 	(a)	This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee of the Board shall be composed of not less than three members of the Board, each of whom shall (i) meet all
applicable independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Shares are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are traded, (ii) be a
“non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 and (iii) be an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may from time to time delegate all or any part of its authority
under this Plan to any subcommittee thereof. To the extent of any such delegation, references in this Plan to the Committee will be deemed to be references to such subcommittee. 


 

	 	(b)	The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of this Plan or of any agreement, notification or document evidencing the grant of awards under this Plan and any determination by the Committee
pursuant to any provision of this Plan or any such agreement, notification or document shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any such action taken or determination made in good faith. In addition, the
Committee is authorized to take any action it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate subject only to the express limitations contained in this Plan, and no authorization in any Plan Section or other provision of this Plan is intended or
may be deemed to constitute a limitation on the authority of the Committee. 

  

	 	(c)	 The Committee, to the full extent permitted by law, may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more
other directors or any officer or officers of the Corporation, or to one or more agents or advisors, such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and any person to whom duties or powers have been delegated as aforesaid may
employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more
officers of the Corporation to do one or more of the following on the same basis as the Committee: (i) designate employees to be recipients of awards under this Plan; and (ii) determine the size and type of any such awards; provided,
however, that (x) the Committee shall not delegate such responsibilities to any such officer for awards granted to an employee who is an officer, director or more than 10% beneficial owner of any class of the Corporation’s equity
securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the 



  
 21 









	 	
Exchange Act, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or any person subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, (y) the resolution providing for such
authorization sets forth the total number of Common Shares such officer(s) may grant and the terms of any award that such officer(s) may grant, and (z) the officer(s) shall report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the
awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated. 

  

	20.	Amendments and Other Matters. 

  

	 	(a)	This Plan may be amended from time to time by the Committee; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan (i) would materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (ii)
would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan, (iii) would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan or (iv) must otherwise be approved by the shareholders of the Corporation in order to
comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Shares are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange upon which the Common Shares are traded or quoted, then such
amendment will be subject to shareholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may amend this Plan to eliminate provisions which are
no longer necessary as a result of changes in tax or securities laws or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof. 

  

	 	(b)	Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described in Section 14 of this Plan, the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the Option Price of outstanding Option Rights
or the Base Price of outstanding Appreciation Rights, or cancel outstanding Option Rights or Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other awards or Option Rights or Appreciation Rights with an Option Price or Base Price, as applicable, that is
less than the Option Price of the original Option Rights or Base Price of the original Appreciation Rights, as applicable, without shareholder approval. This Section 20(b) is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater”
Option Rights and Appreciation Rights and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 14 of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, this Section 20(b) may
not be amended without approval by the Corporation’s shareholders. 

  

	 	(c)	Except with respect to Options Rights, Appreciation Rights and Restricted Shares, the Committee also may permit Participants to elect to defer the issuance of Common Shares or the settlement of awards in cash under the
Plan pursuant to such rules, procedures or programs as it may establish for purposes of this Plan and which are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Committee also may provide that deferred settlements include the payment or
crediting of interest on the deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferral amounts are denominated in Common Shares. 


  
 22 









	 	(d)	The Committee may condition the grant of any award or combination of awards under the Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Participant of his or her right to receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise
payable by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to the Participant. 

  

	 	(e)	To the extent that any provision of this Plan would prevent any Option Right that was intended to qualify under particular provisions of the Code from so qualifying, such provision of this Plan shall be null and void
with respect to such Option Right; provided, however, that such provision shall remain in effect with respect to other Option Rights, and there shall be no further effect on any provision of this Plan. 


 

	21.	Detrimental Activity and Recapture Provisions. Any Evidence of Award may provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Corporation of any gain related to an
award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee from time to time, if a Participant, either during employment by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or within a
specified period after termination of such employment, shall engage in any detrimental activity (as defined in the applicable Evidence of Award). In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Evidence of Award may also
provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Corporation of any gain related to an award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be required by
the Committee or under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Common Shares
may be traded. 

  

	22.	Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 

  

	 	(a)	To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administrated in a
manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Plan or any grant made hereunder to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which
amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of Participants). Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed,
temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. 


 

	 	(b)	 If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code),
(i) such Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Corporation from time to time) and (ii) the




  
 23 









	 	
Corporation makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required
to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Corporation shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but
shall instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day of the seventh month after the Participant’s separation from service. 

  

	 	(c)	Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this Plan and
grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code) payable to a Participant or for a Participant’s benefit under this Plan and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Corporation or any of its affiliates. 


 

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Corporation reserves the right to make
amendments to this Plan and grants hereunder as the Corporation deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Participant will be solely responsible and liable for the
satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this Plan and grants hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the
Corporation nor any of its affiliates will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. 

  

	23.	Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Option Rights or Awards Granted by Other Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary: 


 

	 	(a)	Awards may be granted under this Plan in substitution for or in conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other stock or
stock-based awards held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger transaction with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. Any conversion, substitution or assumption will be effective as of the close of the
merger or acquisition, and, to the extent applicable, will be conducted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. The awards so granted may reflect the original terms of the awards being assumed or substituted or converted for
and need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, and may account for Common Shares substituted for the securities covered by the original awards and the number of shares subject to the original awards, as well as any exercise or purchase
prices applicable to the original awards, adjusted to account for differences in stock prices in connection with the transaction.

	 	(b)	In the event that a company acquired by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or with which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries merges has shares available under a pre-existing plan previously approved by
stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or merger, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, to reflect such acquisition or merger) may be used for awards
made after such acquisition or merger under this Plan; provided, however, that awards using such available shares may not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan absent the acquisition or
merger, and may only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such acquisition or merger. 


 

	 	(c)	Any Common Shares that are issued or transferred by, or that are subject to any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation under Sections 23(a) or 23(b) above will
not reduce the Common Shares available for issuance or transfer under this Plan or otherwise count against the limits contained in Section 3 of this Plan. In addition, no Common Shares that are issued or transferred by, or that
are subject to any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation under Sections 23(a) or 23(b) above will be added to the aggregate plan limit contained in Section 3 of this Plan.


  

	24.	Effective Date/Termination. This Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date. No grant shall be made under this Plan more than ten years after the Effective Date, but all grants made on or prior to
such date shall continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of this Plan. 

  

	25.	No Right to Employment. This Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, and shall not interfere
in any way with any right that the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries would otherwise have to terminate any Participant’s employment or other service at any time. 


 

	26.	Governing Law. This Plan and all grants and awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio.
