Miscellaneous 

5.1 Non-alienation of Benefits. No benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No such benefit, prior to receipt thereof pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, shall be in any manner liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant or his Beneficiary. 
 5.2 Book-Entry Shares. In
the event the Committee authorizes the issuance pursuant to this Plan of shares of Stock in book-entry (uncertificated) form, all references herein to the delivery of stock certificates shall be inapplicable. The Company’s transfer agent shall
keep appropriate records indicating the number of shares of Stock owned by each person to whom shares are issued pursuant to this Plan, the restrictions applicable to such shares of Stock and the duration thereof, and other relevant information.
Upon expiration of any applicable restrictions for any reason, the transfer agent shall effect delivery of such shares of Stock by adjusting its records to reflect the expiration of such restrictions, and by notifying the person in whose name such
shares were issued (or his or her Beneficiaries, if applicable) that such restrictions have lapsed. 
 5.3 Interim Award. In the
event an individual becomes a Director otherwise than by election at an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Committee may, in its discretion, grant to such individual an award (an “Interim Award”) pursuant to this Plan.
For purposes of Sections 2.7 and 3.1(a) hereof, an Interim Award shall be treated as if it had been made on the date of the last annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held prior to the date such individual became a Director. The
Committee shall have the discretion to determine the number of Compensation Shares comprising an Interim Award, but in no event shall the number of Compensation Shares exceed the number of Compensation Shares that would have been awarded as an
annual Award pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof follwing the most recent annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. In making such determination, the Committee shall take into consideration the number of months elapsed between the date of
the last annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held prior to the date such individual became a Director and the date such individual became a Director, and such other factors as the Committee may deem appropriate. 

5.4 Invalidity. If any term or provision contained herein is to any extent invalid or unenforceable, such term or provision will be
reformed so that it is valid, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or part hereof. 
 5.5
Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof, to the extent not preempted by federal law. 

5.6 Amendment, Modification and Termination of the Plan. 

(a) Subject to the terms of subsection (b) hereof, the Board at any time may terminate and in any respect amend or modify the Plan;
provided, however, that no such termination, amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant or Beneficiary, including his rights with respect to Compensation Shares issued prior to such termination, amendment or
without his or her consent. Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee, as soon as is practicable thereafter, shall deliver certificates representing all Compensation Shares issued to each Participant. 







 (b) Notwithstanding the terms of subsection (a) of this Section 5.6, an amendment to or
modification of Section 3.1(d) hereof shall become effective only with the approval of 65% of the Participants and Beneficiaries of deceased Participants who have undistributed Compensation Shares hereunder, provided, however, that in the event
there is more than one such Beneficiary with respect to any individual deceased Participant, such Beneficiaries shall have a single vote which shall be cast as determined by a majority in interest of all Beneficiaries of such deceased Participant.

 5.7 Successors and Heirs. The Plan and any properly executed elections hereunder shall be binding upon the Company and
Participants, and upon any assignee or successor in interest to the Company and upon the heirs, legal representatives and beneficiaries of any Participant. 

5.8 Status as Stockholders. Compensation Shares (other than Compensation Shares forfeited pursuant to Section 2.7) are shares of
Stock, and each Participant in whose name Compensation Shares have been issued shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights, except to the extent specifically limited by this Plan. 

5.9 Rights. Participation in this Plan shall not give any Director the right to continue to serve as a member of the Board or any
rights or interests other than as herein provided.

advisable in connection therewith.

Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intent of the Company that all transactions under the Plan satisfy the
applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act so that a Director will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other exemptive rules under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as amended, and will not be subjected to avoidable liability thereunder.
