attract, retain, and motivate employees and non-employee directors to make substantial contributions to the success of the Corporation’s business and the businesses of its Subsidiaries. Awards will be granted under the Plan based, among other
things, on a participant’s level of responsibility and performance.

 2.3 “Board.” The Board of Directors of the Corporation.

voting securities for, or pursuant to, the terms of any such plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) (the “Benefit Plan(s)”), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of the Corporation’s securities representing
19.9% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities other than pursuant to a transaction excepted in Clause (d); 
  
 (b) there occurs a contested proxy solicitation of the Corporation’s shareholders that results in the
contesting party obtaining the ability to vote securities representing 19.9% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities;

all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another entity, except to an entity controlled directly or indirectly by the Corporation; 
  
 (d) the shareholders of the Corporation approve a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of the Corporation, unless:

merger, consolidation or reorganization, the shareholders of the Corporation immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, will own, directly or indirectly immediately following 

  

 1 








 
such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least 51% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation resulting
from such merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization; 

 
 (ii) under the terms of the agreement providing for such
merger, consolidation or reorganization, the individuals who were members of the Board immediately prior to the execution of such agreement will constitute at least 51% of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation after such

Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation, or (D) any Person who, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization had beneficial ownership of 19.9% or more of the then outstanding voting securities) will have

new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period. 
  
 Notwithstanding Clause (a), a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if a Person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of the Corporation’s securities representing 19.9% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities solely as a result of an acquisition by the Corporation of its voting securities which, by
reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person to 19.9% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities; provided, however, that if
a Person becomes a beneficial owner of 19.9% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities by reason of share purchases by the Corporation and shall, after such share purchases by the Corporation, become
the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of any additional voting securities of the Corporation (other than as a result of a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction), then a Change in Control of the Corporation shall be deemed to
have occurred with respect to such Person under Clause (a). In no event shall a Change in Control of the Corporation be deemed to occur under Clause (a) with respect to Benefit Plans.

                    . The limitation established by the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article 10.

  
 (e) If any Option is exercised by tendering
Common Stock, either actually or by attestation, to the Corporation as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of such Option under the Plan, or if the tax withholding requirements are satisfied through such tender, only the number
of shares of Common Stock issued net of the Common Stock tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for Awards under the Plan. 
  
 4.2 Shares Available. The Common Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be the Corporation’s Common Stock,
which shall be made available at the discretion of the Board, either from authorized but unissued Common Stock, treasury shares, or shares acquired by the Corporation, including shares purchased on the open market. In the event that any outstanding
Award under the Plan for any reason expires, terminates, or is forfeited, the shares of Common Stock allocable to such expiration, termination, or forfeiture may thereafter again be made subject to an Award under the Plan. 
  
 ARTICLE 5. ELIGIBILITY 
  
 5.1 Participation. Awards shall be granted by the Committee only to
persons who are Employees and Non-Employee Directors. 
  
 5.2
Incentive Stock Option Eligibility. Incentive Stock Option Awards may only be granted to Employees of the Corporation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, an individual who owns more than ten percent of the total
combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Corporation shall not be eligible for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option, unless the special requirements set forth in Sections 6.1 and 7.1 are satisfied. For purposes of this
section, in determining stock ownership, an individual shall be considered as owning the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his brothers and sisters (whether by the whole or half blood), spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock
owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be considered as being owned proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries. “Outstanding stock” shall include all stock
actually issued and outstanding immediately before the grant of the Option. “Outstanding stock” shall not include shares authorized for issue under outstanding Options held by the Optionee or by any other person. 
  
 ARTICLE 6. STOCK OPTIONS IN GENERAL 
  
 6.1 Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Option to purchase a
share of Common Stock shall be, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, not less than 100% of the fair market value of 

  

 7 








 
a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, except that the exercise price shall be not less than 110% of such fair market value in the case
of an Incentive Stock Option granted to any individual described in the second sentence of Section 5.2. The exercise price of an Option to purchase a share of Common Stock shall be, in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, not less than 100%
of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the limited circumstances set forth in Article 10. 
  
 6.2 Limitation on Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate fair market
value (determined as of the date an Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual in any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans maintained by the
Corporation and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000. 
  
 6.3
Determination of Fair Market Value. 
  
 (a) If the Common Stock is not listed on an established stock exchange or exchanges but is listed on NASDAQ, the fair market value per share shall be the closing sale price for the Common Stock on the day an Option is granted. If no sale of
Common Stock has occurred on that day, the fair market value shall be determined by reference to such price for the next preceding day on which a sale occurred. 
  
 (b) If the Common Stock is not listed on an established stock exchange or on NASDAQ, fair market value per
share shall be the mean between the closing dealer “bid” and “asked” prices for the Common Stock for the day an Option is granted, and if no “bid” and “asked” prices are quoted for the day an Option is
granted, the fair market value shall be determined by reference to such prices on the next preceding day on which such prices were quoted. 
  
 (c) If the Common Stock is listed on an established stock exchange or exchanges, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the closing
price of Common Stock on such stock exchange or exchanges on the day an Option is granted. If no sale of Common Stock has been made on any stock exchange on that day, the fair market value shall be determined by reference to such price for the next
preceding day on which a sale occurred. 
  
 (d)
In the event that the Common Stock is not traded on an established stock exchange or on NASDAQ, and no closing dealer “bid” and “asked” prices are available on the day an Option is granted, then fair market value will be the
price established by the Committee in good faith. 
  
 In
connection with determining the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on any relevant day, the Committee may use any source deemed reliable; and its determination shall be final and binding on all affected persons, absent clear error.

  
 6.4 Limitation on Option Awards. Awards under this Plan
(and any other plan of the Corporation or a Subsidiary providing for stock option awards) to an Employee described in Code Section 162(m)(3) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, Options to acquire 50,000 shares of 

  

 8 








 
Common Stock during any period of 12 consecutive months. Such limitation shall be subject to adjustment in the manner described in Article 10.

  
 6.5 Transferability of Options. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in Subsection (b), an Option
granted hereunder shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Option shall be exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by him or her. 
  
 (b) An Optionee may, with the prior approval of the
Committee, transfer a Nonqualified Stock Option for no consideration to or for the benefit of one or more members of the Optionee’s “immediate family” (including a trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of one
or more of such members), subject to such limits as the Committee may impose, and the transferee shall remain subject to all terms and conditions applicable to the Option prior to its transfer. The term “immediate family” shall mean an
Optionee’s spouse, parents, children, stepchildren, adoptive relationships, sisters, brothers and grandchildren (and, for this purpose, shall also include the Optionee). 
  
 ARTICLE 7. TERM, VESTING AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 
  
 7.1 Term and Vesting. Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate on the date determined by the Committee, and
specified in the Agreement; provided, however, that (i) each intended Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual described in the second sentence of Section 5.2 shall terminate not later than five years after the date of the grant,
(ii) each other intended Incentive Stock Option shall terminate not later than ten years after the date of grant, and (iii) each Option granted under the Plan which is intended to be a Nonqualified Stock Option shall terminate not later
than ten years and one month after the date of grant. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be fully exercisable (i.e., become 100% vested) only after the earlier of the date on which [(i) the Optionee completes three years of continuous
employment with, or service as a Non-Employee Director with the Corporation or a Subsidiary immediately following the date of the grant of the Option (or such later date as may be specified in an Agreement, including a date that may be tied to the
satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals)]; (ii) unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, a Change in Control occurs; and (iii) unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, the Optionee terminates employment or service as a
Non-Employee Director by reason of death, “permanent and total disability” (as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)), or Retirement. Except as provided in Article 8, an Option may be exercised only during the continuance of the
Optionee’s employment with, or service as a Non-Employee Director with respect to, the Corporation. 
  
 7.2 Exercise. 
  
 (a) A person electing to exercise an Option shall give notice to the Corporation of such election and of the number of shares he or she
has elected to purchase and shall at the time of exercise tender the full exercise price of the shares he or she has elected to purchase. The exercise notice shall be delivered to the Corporation in person, by certified mail, or by such other method
(including electronic transmission) and in such form as determined by the Committee. The exercise price shall be paid in full, in cash, upon the exercise of the Option; provided, 

  

 9 








 
however, that in lieu of cash, with the approval of the Committee at or prior to exercise, an Optionee may exercise an Option by tendering to the Corporation
shares of Common Stock owned by him or her and having a fair market value equal to the cash exercise price applicable to the Option (with the fair market value of such stock to be determined in the manner provided in Section 6.3) or by
delivering such combination of cash and such shares as the Committee in its sole discretion may approve; further provided, however, that no such manner of exercise shall be permitted if such exercise would violate Section 402 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option may not be tendered as payment unless the holding period requirements of Code Section 422(a)(1) have
been satisfied, and Common Stock not acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option may not be tendered as payment unless it has been held, beneficially and of record, for at least six months (or such longer time as may be required
by applicable securities law or accounting principles to avoid adverse consequences to the Corporation or a Participant). 
  
 (b) A person holding more than one Option at any relevant time may, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, elect to exercise such
Options in any order. 
  
 (c) At the request of
the Participant and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, selectively approve arrangements whereby the Participant irrevocably authorizes a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a sufficient
portion of the shares) acquired upon the exercise of an Option and to remit to the Corporation a sufficient portion of the sales proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding required as a result of such exercise. 
  
 7.3 Deferred Delivery of Nonqualified Stock Option Shares. The
Committee may approve an arrangement whereby an Optionee may elect to defer receipt of Common Stock otherwise issuable to him or her upon exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option. Any such arrangement, if approved at all, shall be subject to such
terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may specify, which terms and conditions may (but need not) include provision for the award of additional shares to take into account dividends paid subsequent to exercise of the Option.
No exercise of discretion under this section with respect to an event or person shall create an obligation to exercise such discretion in any similar or same circumstance. 
  
 ARTICLE 8. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS FOLLOWING TERMINATION 
 OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE 
  
 8.1 Retirement; Other Termination by Corporation or Subsidiary; Change in Control. In the event of an Optionee’s termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director (i) due to Retirement,
(ii) by the Corporation or a Subsidiary other than Termination for Cause, or (iii) due to a Change in Control, such Optionee’s Option shall lapse at the earlier of the expiration of the term of such Option or: 
  
 (a) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, three months
from the date of such termination of employment; and 
  

 10 








 (b) in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, [one year] from the date of such
termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director. 
  
 8.2 Death or Total Disability. In the event of an Optionee’s termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director by reason of death, “permanent and total disability” (as defined in Code
Section 22(e)(3)), such Optionee’s Option shall lapse at the earlier of the expiration of the term of such Option or: 
  
 (a) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, one year from the date of such termination of employment; and 
  
 (b) in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, [one year]
from the date of such termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director. 
  
 8.3 Termination or Dismissal For Cause; Other Termination by Optionee. In the event of an Optionee’s Termination or Dismissal For Cause, or in the event of termination of employment at the election of an
Optionee, such Optionee’s Option shall lapse upon such termination. 
  
 8.4 Special Termination Provisions for Options. 
  
 (a) In the event that an Optionee’s employment or service as a Non-Employee Director is terminated and the Committee deems it
equitable to do so, the Committee may, in its discretion and subject to the approval of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board, waive any continuous service requirement for vesting (but not any Performance Goal or Goals) specified in
an Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 and permit exercise of an Option held by such Optionee prior to the satisfaction of such continuous service requirement. Any such waiver may be made with retroactive effect, provided it is made within
60 days following the Optionee’s termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director. 
  
 (b) In the event the Committee waives the continuous service requirement with respect to an Option as set forth in Section 8.4(a)
above and the circumstance of an Optionee’s termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director is described in Section 8.1, the affected Option will lapse as otherwise provided in the relevant section. 
  
 (c) In the event the Committee waives the continuous service
requirement with respect to an Option as set forth in Section 8.4(a) above, such Option shall lapse at the earlier of the expiration of the term of such Option or: 
  
 (i) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, three months from the date of termination of employment; and

  
 (ii) in the case of a Nonqualified Stock
Option, one year from the date of termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director. 
  
 ARTICLE 9. RESTRICTED STOCK 
  
 9.1 In General. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be specified in the Agreement issued to a Participant to evidence the grant of 

  

 11 








 
such Award. Subject to Section 3.6, a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to a vesting schedule or Performance Goals, or both. 
  
 9.2 Minimum Vesting Period for Certain Restricted Stock Awards. Each
Restricted Stock Award granted to a Participant shall be fully exercisable (i.e., become 100% vested) only after the earlier of the date on which [(i) the Participant completes three years of continuous employment with, or service as a
Non-Employee Director with the Corporation or a Subsidiary immediately following the date that the Restricted Stock was awarded (or such later date as may be specified in an Agreement, including a date that may be tied to the satisfaction of one or
more Performance Goals)]; (ii) unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, a Change in Control occurs; or (iii) unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, the Participant terminates employment or service as a Non-Employee Director by reason
of death, “permanent and total disability” (as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)), or Retirement. 
  
 9.3 Waiver of Vesting Period for Certain Restricted Stock Awards. In the event that a Participant’s employment or service as a Non-Employee
Director is terminated and the Committee deems it equitable to do so, the Committee may, in its discretion and subject to the approval of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board, waive any minimum vesting period (but not any Performance
Goal or Goals) with respect to a Restricted Stock Award held by such Participant. Any such waiver may be made with retroactive effect, provided it is made within 60 days following such Participant’s termination of employment or service as
a Non-Employee Director. 
  
 9.4 Limitation on Restricted Stock
Awards. Grants under this Plan (and any other plan of the Corporation or a Subsidiary providing for restricted stock awards) to any Employee described in Code Section 162(m)(3) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, Restricted Stock Awards for
             shares of Common Stock during any period of 12 consecutive months. Such limitation shall be subject to adjustment in the manner described in Article 10.

  
 9.5 Issuance and Retention of Share Certificates By
Corporation. One or more share certificates shall be issued upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Award; but until such time as the Restricted Stock shall vest or otherwise become distributable by reason of satisfaction of one or more Performance
Goals, the Corporation shall retain such share certificates. 
  
 9.6 Stock Powers. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant to whom the grant is made shall deliver such stock powers, endorsed in blank, as may be requested by the Corporation. 
  
 9.7 Release of Shares. Within 30 days following the date on which
a Participant becomes entitled under an Agreement to receive shares of previously Restricted Stock, the Corporation shall deliver to him or her a certificate evidencing the ownership of such shares, together with an amount of cash (without interest)
equal to the dividends that have been paid on such shares with respect to record dates occurring on and after the date of the related Award. 
  
 9.8 Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Awards. In the event of the forfeiture of a Restricted Stock Award, by reason of a Participant’s
termination of employment or termination of service as a Non-Employee Director prior to vesting, the failure to achieve a Performance Goal or 

  

 12 








 
otherwise, the Corporation shall take such steps as may be necessary to cancel the affected shares and return the same to its treasury. 
  
 9.9 Assignment, Transfer, Etc. of Restricted Stock Rights. The
potential rights of a Participant to shares of Restricted Stock may not be assigned, transferred, sold, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until such time as unrestricted certificates for such shares are received by him or
her. 
  
 9.10 Deferred Delivery of Formerly Restricted
Stock. The Committee may approve an arrangement whereby a Participant may elect to defer receipt of Restricted Stock beyond the date on which a restriction terminates or a Performance Goal is satisfied with respect thereto. Any such arrangement,
if approved at all, shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may specify, including terms covering the accumulation or distribution of dividends previously paid with respect to the subject shares and
those that may thereafter be paid. 
  
 9.11 Shareholder
Rights. Participants who have been awarded shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to vote and to receive dividends with respect to such Restricted Stock during the periods of restriction to the same extent as such holders would have been
entitled if the Restricted Stock were unrestricted Common Stock. 
  
 ARTICLE 10. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS 
  
 10.1 Share
Adjustments. 
  
 (a) In the event that the
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Corporation, or if the number of such shares of Common Stock shall
be changed through the payment of a stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, then (i) the shares of Common Stock authorized hereunder to be made the subject of Awards, (ii) the shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding
Awards and the exercise price thereof (where relevant), (iii) the maximum number of Awards that may be granted within a 12-month period and (iv) the nature and terms of the shares of stock or securities subject to Awards hereunder shall be
increased, decreased or otherwise changed to such extent and in such manner as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect any of the foregoing events. 
  
 (b) If there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or of any
stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, and if a majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change
equitably requires an adjustment in any Award which was theretofore granted or which may thereafter be granted under the Plan, then such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination. 
  
 (c) In the event that the Corporation declares a special
cash dividend or return of capital after the effective date of this Plan in an amount per share which exceeds 10% of the fair 

  

 13 








 
market value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of declaration, the per share exercise price of all Options previously granted under the Plan that
remain unexercised as of the date of such declaration shall be proportionately adjusted to give effect to such special cash dividend or return of capital; provided, however, that if such treatment with respect to Incentive Stock Options would be
treated as a modification of outstanding incentive stock options with the effect that, for purposes of Code Sections 422 and 425(h), and the rules and regulations thereunder, new Incentive Stock Options would be deemed granted, then, in the sole
discretion of the Committee, no adjustment to the per share exercise price shall be made. In addition, no such adjustment of the per share exercise price shall be made with respect to any Option if applicable regulatory requirements prohibit such an
adjustment. 
  
 (d) The grant of an Award
pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge, to consolidate, to dissolve, to liquidate or to
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  
 10.2 Corporate Changes. A liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the surviving Corporation or a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets,
shall cause each outstanding Award to terminate, except to the extent that another corporation may and does, in the transaction, assume and continue the Award or substitute its own awards. 
  
 10.3 Fractional Shares. Fractional shares resulting from any
adjustment in Awards pursuant to this article may be settled as the Committee shall determine. 
  
 10.4 Binding Determination. To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Corporation, such adjustments shall be made by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Corporation to each holder of an Award which shall have been so adjusted. 
  
 ARTICLE 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 11.1 Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective upon the approval
of the Plan by the shareholders of the Corporation within 12 months of adoption by the Board. 
  
 11.2 Termination of the Plan. Unless previously terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate on, and no Award shall be granted after, the day
immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of its adoption by the Board. 
  
 11.3 Limitation on Termination, Amendment or Modification. 
  
 (a) The Board may at any time terminate, amend, modify or suspend the Plan, provided that, without the approval of the shareholders of the
Corporation, no amendment or modification shall be made solely by the Board which: 
  
 (i) increases the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (except as provided in
Section 10.1); 
  

 14 








 (ii) changes the class of eligible Participants; or 
  
 (iii) otherwise requires the approval of shareholders under
applicable state law or under applicable federal law to avoid potential liability or adverse consequences to the Corporation or a Participant. 
  
 (b) No amendment, modification, suspension or termination of the Plan shall in any manner affect any Award theretofore granted under the
Plan without the consent of the Participant or any person validly claiming under or through the Participant. 
  
 11.4 No Right to Grant of Award or Continued Employment or Service. Nothing contained in this Plan or otherwise shall be construed to
(a) require the grant of an Award to an individual who qualifies as an Employee or Non-Employee Director, or (b) confer upon a Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or limit in any
respect the right of the Corporation or of any Subsidiary to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time and for any reason. 
  
 11.5 No Obligation. No exercise of discretion under this Plan with respect to an event or person shall create an obligation to exercise such
discretion in any similar or same circumstance, except as otherwise provided or required by law. 
  
 11.6 Withholding Taxes. 
  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Subsection (b), the Corporation will require, where sufficient funds are not otherwise available,
that a Participant who is an Employee pay or reimburse to it any withholding taxes at such time as withholding is required by law. 
  
 (b) With the permission of the Committee, a Participant who is an Employee may satisfy the withholding obligation described in
Subsection (a), in whole or in part, by electing to have the Corporation withhold shares of Common Stock (otherwise issuable to him or her) having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld. An election by a Participant who
is an Employee to have shares withheld for this purpose shall be subject to such conditions as may then be imposed thereon by any applicable securities law. 
  
 11.7 Listing and Registration of Shares. 
  
 (a) No Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part, and no share certificate shall be delivered, if at
any relevant time the Committee determines in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to an Award on any securities exchange or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, such Award, until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Committee. 
  
 (b) If a
registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares issuable under the Plan is not in effect at any relevant time, as a condition of the issuance of the shares, a Participant (or any person claiming through a Participant)
shall give the Committee a written or electronic statement, satisfactory in form and substance to the Committee, that he or 

  

 15 








 
she is acquiring the shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a view to their distribution. The Corporation may place upon any stock
certificate for shares issued under the Plan the following legend or such other legend as the Committee may prescribe to prevent disposition of the shares in violation of the Securities Act or other applicable law: 
  
 ‘THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (“ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THEM UNDER THE ACT OR A WRITTEN
OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE CORPORATION THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.’ 
  
 11.8 Disinterested Director. For purposes of this Plan, a director shall be deemed “disinterested” if such person could qualify as a member of the Committee under Section 3.1. 
  
 11.9 Gender; Number. Words of one gender, wherever used herein, shall
be construed to include each other gender, as the context requires. Words used herein in the singular form shall include the plural form, as the context requires, and vice versa. 
  
 11.10 Applicable Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law,
this Plan document, and the Agreements issued pursuant hereto, shall be construed, administered, and enforced in accordance with the domestic internal law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 
  
 11.11 Headings. The headings of the several articles and sections of
this Plan document have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in the construction of the same.
