	6.6	Nontransferability of Stock Options. 

  

	 	(a)	Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6(b), a Participant’s Terms and Conditions, or the Plan, during the Restriction Period, (i) no Stock Option granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and (ii) all Stock Options shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or his or her guardian or
legal representative. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, require a Participant’s guardian or legal representative to supply it with the evidence the Committee deems necessary to establish the authority of the guardian or legal
representative to act on behalf of the Participant. 

  

	 	(b)	Subject to applicable law, vested Stock Options may be transferred to a Successor. Such transferred Stock Options may only be further sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated by the Successor in

such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance of the Successor of the terms and conditions of the Plan. 


 

	6.7	Dividend Equivalents and Other Distributions. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide under an agreement for payments in connection with Stock Options that are equivalent to dividends or other distributions
declared and paid on the Shares underlying the Stock Options prior to the date of exercise. Such dividend equivalent agreement, if any, shall be separate and apart from the Terms and Conditions and shall be designed to comply separately with Section

vesting of the Participant’s Stock Options shall be tolled beginning on the date such Participant becomes an employee of the Joint Venture until the date such Participant again becomes an Employee. Accordingly, the Restriction Period for such
Participant’s Stock Options shall be extended by the number of days the Participant was an employee of the Joint Venture.

	 	(ii)	The vested portion, if any, of the Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights shall remain exercisable through the ninetieth (90th) day after the Participant’s termination of Service. Any vested Stock
Appreciation Right remaining outstanding after such date shall thereafter expire. 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting and exercisability, and/or extend the period of exercisability, of all or a portion of a Stock Appreciation Right at any
time as permitted by Section 409A. 

  

	 	(d)	In no event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable following its expiration date.

guardian or legal representative to act on behalf of the Participant. 

  

	 	(b)	Subject to applicable law, vested Stock Appreciation Rights may be transferred to a Successor. Such transferred Stock Appreciation Rights may only be further sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated
by the Successor in accordance with this Section 7.6, and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of the Terms and Conditions and the Plan. For a transfer to be effective, the Successor shall promptly furnish the Company with written notice
thereof and a copy of such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance of the Successor of the terms and conditions of the Plan. 


 

	7.7	 Dividend Equivalents and Other Distributions. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide under an
agreement for payments in connection with Stock Appreciation Rights that are equivalent to dividends and other distributions declared and paid on the Shares underlying the 










	 	
Stock Appreciation Rights prior to the date of exercise. Such dividend equivalent agreement, if any, shall be separate and apart from the Terms and Conditions and shall be designed to comply
separately with Section 409A. 

  

	7.8	Change in Control. If, within twelve months following a Change in Control, (i) a Participant is terminated by the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) without Cause or (ii) such Participant

effective, the Successor shall promptly furnish the Company with written notice thereof and a copy of such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the
transfer and the acceptance of the Successor of the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Units held by such Participant will be forfeited and any vested Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall continue to be subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award. 


 

	8.5	Change in Control. If, within twelve months following a Change in Control, (i) a Participant is terminated by the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) without Cause or (ii) such Participant
resigns from the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) for Good Reason, all then outstanding Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable.

limitation, vesting restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance objectives (Company-wide, business unit, and/or individual) or continued Service, and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws. The
Committee may provide that restrictions established under this Section 8.6 as to any given Award will lapse all at once or in installments. 

  

	8.7	Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the Terms and Conditions, and subject to Section 13.1(c), a Participant holding Shares of Restricted Stock may exercise any voting rights that apply to those Shares during
the Restriction Period.

and (iii) the Performance Criteria applicable in respect of such Performance Awards for each Performance Period. The Committee shall determine the duration of each Performance Period (which may differ from each other), and there may be more than one
Performance Period in existence at any one time as to any Participant or all or any class of Participants. Each grant of Performance Awards shall be evidenced by the Terms and Conditions that shall specify the Performance Criteria applicable thereto
and such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine. 

  

	9.2	Earning of Performance Awards. The grant and/or vesting of Performance Awards shall be contingent, in whole or in part, upon the attainment of specified Performance Criteria or the occurrence of any event or events
involving a Change in Control, death or Disability, as the Committee shall determine. In addition to the achievement of the specified Performance Criteria, the Committee may, at the grant date, condition earning of Performance Awards on the
Participant completing a minimum period of service following the Grant Date or on such other conditions as the Committee shall specify. 

  

	9.3	Performance Awards and Code Section 162(m). The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall apply with respect to any Performance Award that is intended to meet the Performance-Based Exception. 


 

	 	(a)	Establishment of Performance Criteria. The Committee shall establish the Performance Criteria for the applicable Performance Period no later than the 90th day after the Performance Period begins (or by such other date
as may be required under Section 162(m)) but in any event at a time when achievement of the Performance Criteria is substantially uncertain. The Committee may not in any event increase the amount of compensation payable to an Executive Officer upon
attainment of the Performance Criteria above the maximum amount approved by the Committee at the time the Performance Criteria is established. 

  

	 	(b)	Certification of Attainment of Performance Criteria. As soon as practicable after the end of a Performance Period and prior to any payment in respect of such Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing
the amount, number or value, as applicable, of the Performance Awards that have been earned on the basis of performance in relation to the established Performance Criteria. 


 

	 	(c)	 Payment of Awards. Earned Performance Awards shall be distributed to the Participant or, if the Participant has
died, to the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary as soon as practicable 










	 	
after the expiration of the Performance Period and the Committee’s certification under Section 9.3(b) above, provided that, unless the payment of a Performance Award has been deferred in
accordance with Section 409A of the Code, distributions of a Performance Award shall be made no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the amount is earned. 


	 	

 SECTION 10 

Other Stock-Based Awards 
  

	10.1	The Committee shall have authority to grant to eligible Participants an “Other Stock-Based Award,” which shall consist of any right which (i) is not a Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock
Unit or Restricted Stock and (ii) is an Award of Shares or an Award 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 deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Terms and Conditions, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Stock-Based Award.


 SECTION 11 

Share Restrictions and Purchase and Sale Rights 
  

	11.1	Restrictions. The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares as it deems necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of
any stock exchange or market upon which the Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws. 

  

	11.2	Additional Conditions of Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares, to accord the right to vote as
such owner, or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Shares have been transferred in violation of the Plan or any Terms and Conditions. 


SECTION 12 
 Beneficiary
Designation 
  

	12.1	Each Participant may, from time to time, name any Designated Beneficiary (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case the Participant should die before
receiving any or all of his or her benefits under the Plan. Each beneficiary designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, must be in a form prescribed by the Committee and must be made during the Participant’s
lifetime. 

 SECTION 13 

Breach of Restrictive Covenants 
  

	13.1	The Terms and Conditions may provide that if the Participant breaches, whether during or after termination of Service, a nonsolicitation, noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenant by which he or she
is bound, then in addition to any other penalties or restrictions that may apply under any such agreement, state law, or otherwise, the Participant shall forfeit: 









	 	(a)	Any Awards granted to him or her under the Plan, including Awards that have become exercisable; 

  

	 	(b)	The profit the Participant realized from the exercise of any Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that the Participant exercised after terminating Service and within the six-month period immediately preceding the
Participant’s termination of Service, which is the Stock Option Spread or Stock Appreciation Right Spread associated with any Shares acquired by the Participant upon his or her exercise of such Stock Options or such Stock Appreciation Rights;
and 

  

	 	(c)	The Fair Market Value, as determined on the vesting date, of any Restricted Stock that vested or Restricted Stock Unit that was settled within the six-month period immediately preceding the Participant’s
termination of Service. 

 SECTION 14 

Rights of Participants 
  

	14.1	Service. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s Service at any time, or confer upon any Participant any right to
continue in the Service of the Company or any Affiliate. The grant of any Award under the Plan shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications 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. 

  

	14.2	Participation. No Employee shall have the right to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having received any Award, to receive a future Award. 


SECTION 15 
 Amendment,
Modification, Termination and Change in Control 
  

	15.1	Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, modify or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, except to
the extent such approval is required by law. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards under the Plan, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards (to the extent not already
exercised) and grant new Awards in substitution of them (to the extent not already exercised), in order to comply with the requirements of applicable law or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification of an Award shall, without the
prior written consent of the Participant, materially alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award already granted under the Plan, except such an amendment made to comply with the requirements of applicable law. 


 

	15.2	Adjustment of Awards upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. 

  

	 	(a)	 In General. If the Shares, as currently constituted, are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind
of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another 










	 	
corporation (whether because of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split, reverse split, combination of shares, or otherwise, but not including a capital infusion from
any source) or if the number of Shares is increased through the payment of a stock dividend, then the Committee shall substitute for or add to each Share underlying an Award the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each
outstanding Share was changed, for which each such Share was exchanged, or to which each such Share is entitled, as the case may be, which shares or other securities shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying Award. Any such
adjustment in an outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be made with a corresponding adjustment in the Exercise Price for each Share or other unit of any security covered by such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right but
without change in the aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of such Stock Option. 

  

	 	(b)	Reciprocal Transactions. The Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment to an Award or to the Exercise Price of any outstanding Award, and/or grant an additional Award
to the holder of any outstanding Award, to compensate for the diminution in the intrinsic value of the Shares resulting from any reciprocal transaction. 

  

	 	(c)	Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. In recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or its financial statements, or in recognition of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting
principles, and, whenever the Committee determines that adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, the Committee may, using reasonable
care, make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards. In no event will the Committee, unless otherwise approved by shareholders, be permitted (i) to reduce the Exercise Price of any outstanding Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) cancel a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or other Awards (except as provided in Section 15.4), (iii) exchange or replace an outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a new
Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower Exercise Price, or (iv) take any other action that would be a “repricing” of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 


 

	 	(d)	Notice. The Committee shall give notice of any adjustment to each Participant who holds an Award that has been adjusted and the adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all
Plan purposes. 

  

	 	(e)	Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no adjustment shall be made under this Section 15.2 to the extent it would give rise to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A. 


 

	15.3	Fractional Shares. Fractional Shares, whether resulting from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section 15.2 or otherwise, may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Committee determines. 


 

	15.4	Change in Control. 









	 	(a)	If, within twelve months following a Change in Control, (i) a Participant is terminated by the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) without Cause or (ii) such Participant resigns from the
Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) for Good Reason, all then outstanding Awards shall become fully vested. 

  

	 	(b)	Any Award that has not been fully exercised before the date of a Change in Control may be settled or otherwise terminated on such date in the discretion of the Committee, unless a provision has been made in writing in
connection with such transaction for the assumption of all Awards theretofore granted, or the substitution for such Awards of awards to acquire the stock of the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation, with any adjustments as the Committee
determines appropriate, in which event the Awards theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any underwater Award that has not been fully exercised, and any
Award that the Committee determines cannot become vested, before the date of consummation of the Change in Control may be canceled without consideration in the discretion of the Committee. 


 

	15.5	Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount (either in cash or Shares) sufficient to satisfy any Withholding Tax.


 SECTION 16 

Miscellaneous Provisions 
  

	16.1	Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan or any Terms and Conditions shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of the successor results from a direct or indirect purchase
of all or substantially all of the Company’s stock, or a merger or consolidation, or otherwise. 

  

	16.2	Legal Construction. 

  

	 	(a)	Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any plural term used in the Plan includes the singular and any singular term includes the plural. 


 

	 	(b)	Severability. If any provision of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the
illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

  

	16.3	Business Day. In the event the day prescribed for the performance of any act under the Plan, or deadline by which such act must be performed, shall fall on a day other than a Business Day, such day or deadline shall be
extended until the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day. 

  

	16.4	Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards, the issuance of Shares and the payment of cash under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to any approvals by governmental agencies or
national securities exchanges as may be required. 

  

	16.5	Rights of a Shareholder. A Participant shall not be, nor shall a Participant have any of the rights and privileges of, a shareholder until certificates for the underlying Shares have been issued or the underlying Shares
have been registered as a book-entry in the name of the Participant. 









	16.6	Securities Law Compliance. 

  

	 	(a)	As to any individual who is, on the relevant date, an officer, director or greater than 10% percent beneficial owner of any class of the Company’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, all as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or any successor rule. To the extent any provision of the Plan
or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee. 

  

	 	(b)	To the extent the Committee deems it necessary, appropriate or desirable to comply with state securities laws or practice and to further the purposes of the Plan, the Committee may, without amending the Plan, (i)
establish rules applicable to Awards granted to Participants, including rules that differ from those set forth in the Plan, and (ii) grant Awards to such Participants in accordance with those rules that would require the application of the
securities laws of any state. 

  

	16.7	Unfunded Status of the Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments or deliveries of Shares not yet made to a Participant by the Company,
the Participant’s rights are no greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. The Committee may authorize the establishment of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan, so long as the arrangement
does not cause the Plan to lose its legal status as an unfunded plan. 

  

	16.8	Non-U.S. Based Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may make Awards to Participants who are not citizens or residents of the United States, or to Participants
outside the United States, on terms and conditions that are different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the Committee’s judgment, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the Plan’s purposes. In furtherance
of such purposes, the Committee may, without amending the Plan, establish or modify rules, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company operates
or has employees. 

  

	16.9	Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, the Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to its conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. 

  

	16.10	Section 162(m). The Plan is intended to be administered, interpreted and construed so that Performance Awards may qualify for the Performance-Based Exception. 


 

	16.11	Recoupment. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, Awards granted or paid under the Plan will be subject to recoupment by the Company pursuant to any “clawback” or similar compensation
recoupment policy that may be established by the Company.
