(b) Any Shares underlying Substitute Awards or Inducement Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

 
(c) If, after the effective date of the Plan, any Shares
covered by an Award (other than a Substitute Award or an Inducement Award), or to which such an Award relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award otherwise terminates without the delivery of Shares or of other consideration or without delivery of
the full number of shares underlying such Award, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be, or shall become, available for issuance under the Plan.

 
(d) In the event that any Option or other Award granted
hereunder (other than a Substitute Award or an Inducement Award) is exercised through the delivery of Shares, or in the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from such Option or Award are satisfied by the withholding of Shares by the
Company, the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of Shares so surrendered or withheld. 
 
(e) Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares.

 
(f) In the event that the Committee shall determine that
any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or
exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is
determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable and in
its sole discretion, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant, purchase, or 
 

3 








exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, the Committee may make provision for a cash

SECTION 6. Options. 
 
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to eligible individuals as designated in Section 3 with the following terms and conditions and
with such additional terms and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine:

(c) The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, and the

(a) The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to eligible individuals as designated in
Section 3. 
 
(b) Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted
Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property), which
restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem appropriate. 
 
(c) Any share of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate including, without
limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of
the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

SECTION 8. Performance
Units.

and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof rights valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or exercisable by, the holder of the Performance Unit, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such
performance periods as the Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Unit granted and the
amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Unit shall be determined by the Committee. 
 
SECTION 9. Other Stock-based Awards. 
 
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to eligible individuals as designated in Section 3 such other Awards (including, without limitation,
stock appreciation rights and rights to dividends and dividend equivalents) that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities
convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares or other securities delivered
pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 9 shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards,
or other property, or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine, the value of which consideration, as established by the Committee, shall, except in the case of Substitute Awards, not be less than the Fair Market Value of such Shares
or other securities as of the date such purchase right is granted. 
 
SECTION 10. General Provisions Applicable to Awards. 
 
(a) Awards shall be granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may be required by applicable law. 
 
(b) Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Award or any award granted

time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 
 
(c)
Subject to the terms of the Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Company upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other
securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee.
Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of installment or deferred
payments. 
 
(d) Unless the Committee shall otherwise
determine, (i) no Award and no right under any such Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that, if so determined by the
Committee, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant, and to receive any property distributable, with respect to any Award upon the death of the
Participant; (ii) each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if 
 

5 








permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative; and (iii) no Award and
no right under any such Award, may be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. The restrictions imposed by
this paragraph shall not apply to any Award which has been fully exercised, earned or paid, as the case may be, and shall not preclude forfeiture of an Award in accordance with the terms thereof. 
 
(e) All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the
Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make
appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
 
SECTION 11.
Amendment and Termination. 
 
(a) Except to the extent
prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, however, that no such
amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without the consent of the affected Participant, if such action would adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as may be necessary to enable the Plan to achieve its stated purposes in any jurisdiction outside the United States in a tax-efficient manner and in compliance with
local rules and regulations. 
 
(b) The Committee may waive
any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an
Award; provided, however, that any such action that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of such
affected Participant, holder or beneficiary; and provided further that, except as provided in Section 5(f), no such action shall reduce the exercise price of any Option established at the time of grant thereof. 
 
(c) The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in the terms
and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 5(f) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company) or of
changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under the Plan. 
 
(d) Any provision of the Plan or any Award
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may cause any Award granted hereunder to be canceled in consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such canceled Award equal in value to the Fair Market Value
of such canceled Award. 
 
(e) The Committee may correct any
defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect. 
 
SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 
 
(a) No employee, independent contractor, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no
obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, independent contractors, Participants, 
 

6 








or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with
respect to each recipient. 
 
(b) The Committee may delegate
to another committee of the Board, one or more officers or managers of the Company, or a committee of such officers or managers, the authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee shall determine, to grant Awards to eligible
individuals or to cancel, modify, waive rights with respect to, alter, discontinue, suspend or terminate Awards held by Participants; provided, however, that any delegation to management shall conform with the requirements of the General Corporation
Law of Delaware, as in effect from time to time. 
 
(c) The
Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other
Awards, or other property) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to take such other action (including, without limitation, providing for elective payment of
such amounts in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property by the Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy the required tax withholding. 
 
(d) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from
adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
 
(e) The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ or
service of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or terminate the services of an independent contractor, free from any liability, or any claim under the
Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding the parties. 
 
(f) If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any
person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended
without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full
force and effect. 
 
(g) Neither the Plan nor any Award shall
create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant
to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 
(h) No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other
securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. 
 
SECTION 13. Effective Date of Plan. 
 
The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by the Board.

 
SECTION 14. Term of the Plan. 
 
No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of
the effective date. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend,
discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such date.
