 ARTICLE 6. STOCK OPTIONS 
  
 6.1 GRANT OF OPTIONS. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants in such number, and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee.

  
 No Option shall be granted to any Employee or Nonemployee Director if, upon
the granting of such Option, the number of Shares then subject to all Options to purchase held by the Employee or Nonemployee Director, as the case may be, plus the Shares then owned by such Employee or Nonemployee Director, would constitute more
than ten (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, an Employee or a Nonemployee Director shall be deemed to own all Shares which are attributable to him or her
under Section 424(d) of the Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shares owned by his or her brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors, and lineal descendants. 
  
 The Committee may not grant ISOs under the Plan to any Employee which would permit the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the date
of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs (under this and any other Plan of the Corporation) are exercisable for the first time by such Employee during any calendar year to exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). Any excess shall be
deemed a NQSO. No ISO shall be granted to a Nonemployee Director. 
  
 If Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of by a Participant prior to the expiration of either two (2) years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or one year from the transfer of Shares to such Participant
pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option, or in any other disqualifying disposition within the meaning of 

  

 9 








 
Section 422 of the Code, such Participant shall notify the Corporation in writing of the date and terms of such disposition and shall cooperate with the
Corporation with respect to any tax withholding required or resulting from such disqualifying dispositions. A disqualifying disposition by a Participant shall not affect the status of any other Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan as an
Incentive Stock Option. 
  
 6.2 AWARD AGREEMENT. Each Option grant shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the date of grant, vesting restrictions, if any, and such other provisions as the Committee shall
determine. The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NQSO. 
  
 6.3 OPTION PRICE. The Option Price for each grant of an Option under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee but shall be at least equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share
on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that for Options granted through the assumption of or in substitution for outstanding awards granted by a company that is merged or consolidated with, or acquired by, the Company, the Option
Price shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and, if applicable, consistent with Code Section 424(a). 
  
 6.4 DURATION OF OPTIONS. Each Option granted to an Employee or Nonemployee Director shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of
grant; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable on or later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its grant. 
  
 6.5 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such
restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance determine, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant. Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercised by the delivery to the Corporation of written
or other notice acceptable to the Corporation setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised. 
  
 The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Corporation in full either: (a) in cash or its equivalent; (b) by tendering previously acquired
Shares, including by attestation, having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the total Option Price (provided that the Shares which are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to their tender); (c) by a
combination of (a) and (b); (d) subject to applicable securities laws and restrictions, through a broker-facilitated cashless exercise procedure acceptable to the Committee, or (e) by any other means which the Committee determines to be consistent
with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. 
  
 6.6 RESTRICTIONS ON SHARE
TRANSFERABILITY. In addition to the foregoing, the Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under this Article 6 as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
restrictions under applicable Federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock 

  

 10 








 
exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

  
 6.7 EXERCISE UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Except as otherwise
provided in this Plan or as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or by the Committee, in the event that the employment of a Participant is terminated for any reason other than death or Retirement, the rights under each then outstanding Option
granted to the Participant pursuant to the Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (1) the expiration of such Option, or (2) sixty (60) days after the Participant’s termination of employment, unless such termination of employment was for
Cause. If a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, the rights under each then outstanding Option granted to the Participant pursuant to the Plan shall immediately terminate. 
  
 In the event that the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of Retirement, each
then outstanding Option of such Participant shall continue to be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions, including expiration, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision
in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of the Retirement of a Participant, each then outstanding ISO not exercised within three (3) months of termination of employment shall automatically convert to an NQSO. 
  
 In the event that the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of death or a
Participant dies after Retirement, all such Participant’s then outstanding Options shall become exercisable in full, and the executor or administrator of such Participant’s estate or a person or persons who have acquired the Options
directly from such Participant by bequest, inheritance, or by reason of written designation as a beneficiary on a form proscribed by the Corporation, shall have until the expiration dates of such Options or thirteen (13) months after the
Participant’s date of death, whichever first occurs, to exercise such Options. 
  
 In addition to the foregoing, the Committee may include such provisions in the Award Agreement entered into with each Participant as it deems advisable (which may be more restrictive than described above), which provisions need not be
uniform among all Options issued pursuant to this Article 6, and which may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment. 
  
 6.8 EXERCISE UPON TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, if a Participant’s status as a Nonemployee Director ceases for any
reason other than Retirement or death, any NQSO granted to such Participant under the Plan shall terminate thirteen (13) months after the termination of such Participant’s status as a Nonemployee Director; provided, however, that no Option
shall be exercisable after its expiration date. 
  
 If a Participant’s status
as a Nonemployee Director ceases by reason of Retirement, then all such Participant’s Options shall become exercisable in full, and such Participant may exercise such Options until their expiration date. 
  

 11 








 If a Participant’s status as a Nonemployee Director ceases by reason of death, or a Participant who was a
Nonemployee Director dies after Retirement, all such Participant’s then outstanding Options shall become exercisable in full, and the executor or administrator of such Participant’s estate or a person or persons who have acquired the
Options directly from such Participant by bequest, inheritance, or by reason of written designation as a beneficiary on a form proscribed by the Corporation, shall have until the expiration dates of such Options or thirteen (13) months after the
Participant’s date of death, whichever first occurs, to exercise such Options. 
  
 6.9 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. 
  
 (a)
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. No ISO granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than (1) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (2) if permitted under Code Section
422, by transfer to a trust, the beneficial owner of which, pursuant to Code Section 671 and applicable state law, is the Participant to whom the ISO was granted (“Grantor Beneficial Trust”). Further, all ISOs granted to a Participant
under the Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the trustee of the Grantor Beneficial Trust if permitted under Code Section 422. 
  
 (b) NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. No NQSO granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated by a Participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except that any NQSO (i) may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to Permissible Transferees, but such transferees may not
transfer such NQSO’s to third parties except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and then only to a Permissible Transferee, and (ii) shall be subject to all other conditions and restrictions applicable to Options granted under the
Plan prior to such transfer. Any transfer to a Permissible Transferee shall consist of Options covering a minimum of five thousand (5,000) Option Shares.

 7.1 GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted
Stock to Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine. 
  
 7.2
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT. Each Restricted Stock grant shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Agreement that shall specify the Period(s) of Restriction, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock granted, and such other provisions as the
Committee shall determine. 
  
 7.3 OTHER RESTRICTIONS. The Committee shall
impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Share of
Restricted Stock, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific 

  

 12 








 
performance objectives (Corporation-wide, business unit, and/or individual), Qualifying Performance Criteria, a Performance Cycle, time-based restrictions,
and/or restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws. 
  
 The
Corporation shall retain the certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock in the Corporation’s possession until such time as all conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in this Article 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each
Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan shall become freely transferable by the Participant after the last day of the applicable Period of Restriction. 
  
 7.4 VOTING RIGHTS. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may, at the discretion of the Committee,
exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares. 
  
 7.5 DIVIDENDS AND
OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may, at the discretion of the Committee, be credited with regular cash dividends paid with respect to the underlying Shares
while they are so held. Such dividends may be paid currently, accrued as contingent cash obligations, or converted into additional Shares of Restricted Stock, upon such terms as the Committee establishes. 
  
 The Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends that the Committee deems
appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if the grant or vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Covered Employee is designed to comply with the requirements of the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee
may apply any restrictions it deems appropriate to the payment of dividends declared with respect to such Shares of Restricted Stock, such that the dividends and/or the Shares of Restricted Stock maintain eligibility for the Performance-Based
Exception. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article 4.3. 
  
 7.6. NONTRANSFERABILITY. During any Period(s) of Restriction, the Participant shall have no right to transfer any rights with respect to its Award of Shares of Restricted Stock.

provisions as the Committee shall determine. 
  

 13 








 8.3 OTHER RESTRICTIONS. The Committee shall impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any RSUs granted
pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each RSU, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance objectives (Corporation-wide,
business unit, and/or individual), Qualifying Performance Criteria, a Performance Cycle, time-based restrictions, and/or restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws.

 ARTICLE 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
  
 9.1 GRANT OF SARs. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant SARs to Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine. A SAR shall
represent a right to receive a payment in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares on the date the SAR is exercised over an amount (the “SAR exercise price”) which
shall be no less than the Fair Market Value on the date the SAR was granted (or the Option Price for SARs granted in tandem with an Option), as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 
  
 9.2 AWARD AGREEMENT. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that
shall specify the SAR exercise price, the duration of the SAR, the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains, whether the SAR is granted in tandem with the grant of an Option or is freestanding, and such other provisions as the Committee shall
determine. SARs granted under this Article 9 shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve and which shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, which
need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant. 
  
 9.3
EXERCISE. SARs shall be exercised by the delivery to the Corporation of written or other notice of exercise acceptable to the Corporation, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is to be exercised. The date of exercise
of the SAR shall be the date on which the Corporation shall have received notice from the Participant of the exercise of such SAR. SARs granted in tandem with the grant of an Option may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the
related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. SARs granted in tandem with the grant of an Option may be exercised only with respect to the shares for which its related Option is then
exercisable. 
  

 14 








 With respect to SARs granted in tandem with an ISO, (a) such SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the
underlying ISO, (b) the value of the payout with respect to such SAR may be for no more than 100% of the difference between the Option Price of the underlying ISO and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO at the time such
SAR is exercised, and (c) such SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO exceeds the Option Price of the ISO. 
  
 SARs granted independently from the grant of an Option may be exercised upon the terms and conditions contained in the applicable Award
Agreement. In the event the SAR shall be payable in Shares, a certificate for the Shares acquired upon exercise of an SAR shall be issued in the name of the Participant as soon as practicable following receipt of notice of exercise. No fractional
Shares will be issuable upon exercise of the SAR and, unless provided in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant will receive cash in lieu of fractional Shares. 
  
 9.4 EXERCISE UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Each Participant’s Award Agreement
shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise a SAR following termination of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee,
shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into the Participants, need not be uniform among all SARs issued pursuant to this Article 9, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment. 
  
 9.5 NONTRANSFERABILITY. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its
discretion, no SAR granted under this Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, SARs granted in tandem with an ISO granted to a
Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant. 
  
 ARTICLE 10. DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS 
  
 10.1 GRANT OF DEFERRED STOCK. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee may authorize the grant or sale of Deferred Stock to Participants in such amounts the Committee shall determine. Each
such grant or sale shall constitute the agreement by the Corporation to deliver Shares to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, but subject to the fulfillment of such conditions during the Deferral Period as
the Committee may specify. 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 Fair Market Value of the Shares at the date of grant. 
  
 10.2 AWARD AGREEMENT. Each grant or sale of Deferred Stock shall be evidenced by an
Award Agreement, which shall contain such terms and provisions, consistent with this Plan, as the Committee may approve. 
  

 15 








 10.3 DEFERRAL PERIOD. Each such grant or sale shall be subject, except (if the Committee shall so determine) in
the event of a Change in Control or other similar transaction or event, to a Deferral Period of not less than one (1) year, as determined by the Committee at the date of grant. 
  
 10.4 VOTING RIGHTS. During the Deferral Period, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, the Participant shall
have no rights of ownership in the Shares of Deferred Stock and shall have no right to vote them. 
  
 10.5 DIVIDENDS. During the Deferral Period, the Committee may, at or after the date of grant, authorize payment of dividend equivalents on any Shares of Deferred Stock on either a current, deferred, or
contingent basis, either in cash or in additional Shares. 
  
 10.6
NONTRANSFERABILITY. During the Deferral Period, the Participant shall have no right to transfer any rights with respect to its Award of Shares of Deferred Stock. 
  
 ARTICLE 11. LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE AWARDS 
  
 11.1 LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, a Participant shall have the opportunity to
receive an Award of cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, in such amounts and upon such terms and at such times as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
  
 11.2 TERMS OF LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE AWARDS. The Committee shall set performance objectives in its discretion which, depending on the
extent to which they are met, will determine the number of Shares and/or value of Long-Term Performance Awards that will be paid to the Participant. The Committee shall establish the Performance Cycle for each Long-Term Performance Award and shall
impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Long-Term Performance Awards as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance objectives (Corporation-wide, business unit,
and/or individual), Qualifying Performance Criteria, time-based restrictions, and/or restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws. 
  
 11.3 EARNING OF LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Subject to the terms of this Plan and Article 11, after the applicable Performance Cycle has ended, the Participant
shall be entitled to receive a payment of the number of Shares and/or cash earned by the Participant over the applicable Performance Cycle. Notwithstanding the attainment of specific performance objectives, the Committee has the discretion to reduce
or eliminate an Award that would otherwise be payable based on its evaluation of Extraordinary Events and other factors. 
  
 11.4 FORM AND TIMING OF PAYMENT OF LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Payment of Long-Term Performance Awards shall be made as soon as practical following the close of
the applicable Performance Cycle in a manner designated by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay Long-Term Performance Awards in the form of cash or in Shares (or in
a 

  

 16 








 
combination thereof) which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the Long-Term Performance Awards at the close of the applicable
Performance Cycle. Such Shares may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. 
  
 11.5 REQUIREMENT OF EMPLOYMENT. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan and as specified in Article 16, a Participant must remain in the employment of the Corporation until the payment of a Long-Term
Performance Award in order to be entitled to payment; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for a partial or full payment in the event the Participant is not so employed. 
  
 11.6 NONTRANSFERABILITY. A Long-Term Performance Award may not be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 ARTICLE 12. CODE SECTION 162(m) DEDUCTION QUALIFICATIONS 
  
 12.1 AWARDS FOR COVERED EMPLOYEES. At all times when Code Section 162(m) is applicable, all Awards granted to a Covered Employee under this Plan shall comply with
the Performance-Based Exception requirements of Code Section 162(m). In addition, in the event that changes are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit greater flexibility with respect to any Award available under the Plan, the Committee may, subject
to this Article 12, make any adjustments it deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Award under the Plan, determine that compliance with Code Section 162(m) is not desired after
consideration of the goals of the Corporation’s executive compensation philosophy and whether it is in the best interests of the Corporation to have such Award so qualified. 
  
 12.2 DESIGNATION OF COVERED EMPLOYEES. For each Performance Cycle, the Committee will designate which Participants are Covered
Employees within ninety (90) days of the beginning of the Performance Cycle (or such earlier or later date as is permitted or required by Code Section 162(m)). 
  

12.3 ESTABLISHMENT OF QUALIFYING PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND AWARDS FOR COVERED EMPLOYEES. Within ninety (90) days of the beginning of a Performance Cycle (or such
earlier or later date as is permitted or required by Code Section 162(m)), the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, for each such Performance Cycle, determine and establish in writing one or more performance goals based on one or more Qualifying
Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Cycle for each Covered Employee. The Committee may establish any number of differing Performance Cycles, performance goals, Qualifying Performance Criteria, and Awards for Covered Employees running
concurrently, in whole or in part. 
  
 12.4 CERTIFICATION OF ACHIEVEMENT OF
QUALIFYING PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND AMOUNT OF AWARDS. After the end of each Performance Cycle, or such earlier date if the Qualifying Performance Criteria are achieved (and such date otherwise 

  

 17 








 
complies with Code Section 162(m)), the Committee shall certify in writing, prior to the payment of any Award to a Covered Employee, that the performance
goal based on the Qualifying Performance Criteria for the Performance Cycle and all other material terms of the Plan were satisfied. The Committee may not, under any circumstances, increase an Award to a Covered Employee above the amount payable
pursuant to the pre-established performance goal based on the Qualifying Performance Criteria for the Performance Cycle. 
  
 12.5 MAXIMUM AWARD TO PARTICIPANTS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be subject
to option by one or more Option Awards or SAR Awards (whether settled in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof) to a Participant shall be four million (4,000,000) Shares over any five (5) year period. Notwithstanding any of provision of this Plan
to the contrary, the maximum amount of compensation (whether represented by Shares, cash, or a combination thereof) that may be payable to a Participant with respect to any specified Performance Cycle, pursuant to the attainment of a performance
goal associated with a Long-Term Performance Award, Restricted Stock Award, RSU Award, or Deferred Stock Award shall be four million dollars ($4,000,000) for each type of Award. 
  
 12.6 TAX AND SECURITY LAWS. In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit the Committee discretion to
alter the governing performance measures without obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval. 
  
 ARTICLE 13. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION 
  
 Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries
(who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same
Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Corporation, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Corporation during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits
remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. 
  
 ARTICLE 14. DEFERRALS 
  
 The Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer such Participant’s receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the (1) exercise of an Option, (2) the
lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock, RSUs, SARs, Deferred Stock, or (3) the satisfaction of any requirements or objectives with respect to Long-Term Performance Awards. If any such deferral election is required or
permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment of deferrals including the crediting of interest or dividend equivalents. 
  

 18 








 ARTICLE 15. DISCRETION TO REDUCE AWARDS

 ARTICLE 16. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES 
  
 16.1 EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Corporation to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, with or without Cause, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation.

paid out to Participants within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Change in Control, in a pro rata amount based upon (i) the actual results measured as of the effective date of the Change in Control, and (ii) the length of time
within the Performance Cycle which has elapsed prior to the Change in Control.

engaged in a serious breach of conduct or any prohibited solicitation shall be determined by the Committee in good faith and in its sole discretion. 
  
 ARTICLE 21. INDEMNIFICATION

not such person is a Participant in this Plan and regardless of how the amount of such compensation or bonus is determined. However, no such plan will be established or operated in a way that entitles or allows a Covered Employee to receive an award
