&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.The Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on <u>[October 17, 2025](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0002064953/000162828025045287/sols-20251017.htm)</u> (the "October 17 Form 8-K"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.The description of the Company's Common Stock included in the section titled "<u>[Description of Our Capital Stock](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2064953/000162828025045287/exhibit991-8xk.htm#i26659a65039748f9adc191edd1733bec_2829)</u>" in the Company's final Information Statement filed as <u>[Exhibit 99.1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2064953/000162828025045287/exhibit991-8xk.htm)</u> to the October 17 Form 8-K, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

All documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement (other than any such documents or portions thereof that are furnished under Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of a Current Report on Form 8-K, unless otherwise indicated therein, including any exhibits included with such Items) and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

**Item 4. Description Of Securities**

Not applicable.

**Item 5. Interests Of Named Experts and Counsel**

Not applicable.

**Item 6. Indemnification Of Directors and Officers**

Delaware law authorizes corporations, subject to certain limitations, to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors and officers to corporations and their shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' and officers' fiduciary duties as directors or officers, as applicable. The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such an exculpation provision limiting or eliminating such liability to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances against liabilities arising out of actions, suits and proceedings to which they are made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that they have served or are currently serving as a director or officer to a corporation. The indemnity may cover expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner the director or officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the director or officer's conduct was unlawful.

The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation generally requires the Company to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses for its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the Company to maintain insurance at its expense to protect any director or officer of the Company against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Delaware law and the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the section of the DGCL referenced above and the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws.

Reference is made to Item 9 for the Company's undertakings with respect to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

**Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed**

Not Applicable.

**Item 9. Undertakings**

The Company hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

*provided, however, that,* paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

------

**SEVENTH:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Except as otherwise provided pursuant to the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of certain holders of Preferred Stock to elect additional Directors under specified circumstances, the number of Directors of the corporation shall be determined from time to time in the manner described in the By-laws. The Directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, shall be elected by the holders of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors (the "**Voting Stock**"), voting together as a single class. No Director need be a stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Except as otherwise provided pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of certain holders of Preferred Stock to elect Directors under specified circumstances, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of Directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining Director. Any Director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders at which the full term of office of the class to which such Director has been elected expires, and until such Director's successor shall have been elected and qualified or until such Director's earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

**EIGHTH:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Except for those Directors, if any, elected by the holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall be classified initially into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of Directors constituting the entire Board of Directors and the allocation of Directors among the three classes shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Except for the terms of such additional Directors, if any, elected by the holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the initial Class I Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, at which meeting the Class I Directors shall be elected to a term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders; the initial Class II Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, at which meeting the Class II Directors shall be elected to a term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders; and the initial Class III Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders. Each Director in each class shall hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. If the number of Directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of Directors in each class to be as nearly equal as possible. From and including the 2028 annual meeting of

------

stockholders, the Board of Directors shall no longer be classified, and each Director shall be elected to serve a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders following the Director's election. Notwithstanding the expiration of the term of a Director, the Director shall continue to hold office until a successor shall be elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Subject to the rights of certain holders of Preferred Stock to elect Directors under circumstances specified in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, Directors may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class; and from and including the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, Directors may be removed from office, with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class.

**NINTH:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The By-laws of the corporation may contain provisions, not inconsistent with law or this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, relating to the management of the business of the corporation, the regulation of its affairs, the transfer of its stock, the qualifications, compensation and powers and duties of its Directors and the time and place and the manner of calling the meetings of its stockholders and Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Board of Directors may from time to time fix, determine and vary the amount of the working capital of the corporation, may determine what part, if any, (i) of its surplus or (ii) in case there shall be no such surplus, of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year shall be declared as dividends and paid to the stockholders, may determine the time or times for the declaration and payment of dividends, the amount thereof and whether they are to be in cash, property or shares of the capital stock of the corporation and may direct and determine the use and disposition of any surplus over and above the capital of the corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The Board of Directors may from time to time amend, supplement, alter, change or repeal or adopt any provision of the By-laws; provided, however, that the stockholders may amend, supplement, alter, change or repeal any By-law adopted by the Board of Directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Voting Stock shall be required for stockholders to amend, supplement, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt, any By-law; <u>provided</u>, that notwithstanding anything in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary (and in addition to any vote required by law), until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Voting Stock shall be required to amend, supplement, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any By-law inconsistent with, Section 3 of Article II, Section 2(a) of Article III, Section 12 of Article III and Article XI of the By-laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The Board of Directors shall, except as otherwise provided by law, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws, exercise the powers of the corporation.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Pursuant to the By-laws, an Executive Committee and/or one or more other committees may be appointed from among the Directors or otherwise, to which may be delegated any of or all the powers and duties of the Board of Directors, to the full extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of stockholders may be called only by (i) the Chief Executive Officer, (ii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the then authorized number of Directors of the corporation (as determined in accordance with the By-laws), or (iii) from and including the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, the Secretary upon the written request (a "**Special Meeting Request**") of holders Owning (as such term is defined in Section 3 of Article II of the By-laws) not less than 15% of the outstanding shares of the corporation's Common Stock as of the date of such request (the "**Requisite Percent**"), filed with the Secretary of the corporation and otherwise in accordance with the By-laws. Whether the requesting holders have complied with the requirements of this Article and related provisions of the By-laws shall be determined in good faith by the Board, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the corporation and the stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) No contract or other transaction of the corporation shall be void, voidable, fraudulent or otherwise invalidated, impaired or affected, in any respect, by reason of the fact that any one or more of the officers, Directors or stockholders of the corporation shall individually be party or parties thereto or otherwise interested therein, or shall be officers, directors or stockholders of any other corporation or corporations which shall be party or parties thereto or otherwise interested therein; provided that such contract or other transactions be duly authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or Executive Committee, with the assenting vote of a majority of the disinterested Directors or Executive Committeemen then present, or, if only one such is present, with his assenting vote.

**TENTH:** No stockholder action may be taken except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation and stockholders may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

**ELEVENTH:** Unless required by law or demanded by a stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or determined by the chairman of such meeting to be advisable, the vote on any question need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or his proxy if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted by such stockholder or proxy.

**TWELFTH:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors and Officers*. A Director or officer of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director or officer, except for liability (i) for any breach of the Director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) with respect to any Director, under Section 174 of the Delaware General

------

Corporation Law, (iv) for any transaction from which the Director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) with respect to any officer, in any action by or in the right of the corporation. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Twelve to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors or officers, then the liability of Directors or officers, as applicable, of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article Twelve by the stockholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director or officer of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Indemnification and Insurance*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Right to Indemnification*. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director, officer or employee of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter, an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said Law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators; *provided, however*, that, except as provided in paragraph (B) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter, an "advancement of expenses"); *provided, however,* that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a Director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter, an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter, a "final adjudication") that such indemnitee is not

------

entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise, and, *provided further*, that an advancement of expenses incurred by an employee other than a Director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such employee to the same effect as any undertaking required to be delivered by a Director or officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.* If a claim under paragraph (A) of this Section is not paid in full by the corporation within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Non-Exclusivity of Rights.* The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Insurance*. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Indemnification of Agents of the Corporation.* The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Directors, officers and employees of the corporation.

**THIRTEENTH:** The corporation reserves the right to amend, supplement, alter, change or repeal or adopt any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Voting Stock shall be required for stockholders to amend, supplement, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt, any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; <u>provided</u>, that notwithstanding anything in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary (and in addition to any vote required by law), until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Voting Stock shall be required to amend, supplement, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with, Article Seven, Article Eight, Section 3 of Article Nine, Section 6 of Article Nine and this Article Thirteen.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such stockholder's or any of its control persons' full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or

A stockholder "Owns" shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the stockholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A stockholder's Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other instrument or

------

arrangement that is revocable at any time by the stockholder. A stockholder's Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has loaned such shares provided that the stockholder has the power to recall such loaned shares on five business days' notice and has recalled such loaned shares as of the applicable request or notice, as the case may be, and through the date of the special meeting or the annual meeting, as the case may be. Whether outstanding shares of the Corporation are "Owned" for these purposes shall be determined by the Board.

A Special Meeting Request must specify the matter or matters to be acted upon at such meeting, each of which must be a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law. The requesting stockholders must also provide a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting (including the complete text of any resolution and any amendment to any Corporation document intended to be presented at the meeting), the reasons for conducting such business at a special meeting of stockholders, any other information which may be required pursuant to these By-laws or which may be required to be disclosed under the Delaware General Corporation Law or included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, as to the stockholders requesting the meeting and the beneficial owners on whose behalf the meeting is being requested, (i) their name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are Owned beneficially or of record as of the date of such Special Meeting Request, together with documentary evidence of such Ownership, (iii) any material interest in the business to be brought before the meeting, (iv) a description of all agreements or other arrangements or understandings between each such stockholder, any nominee (if such business is the election of one or more nominees of such stockholders) and/or beneficial owner or any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any other person or persons (including the names of such person(s)) in connection with such business, including any swap or other derivative or short positions, profits interests, options, hedging transactions or borrowed or loaned shares, the effect of any of which is to mitigate loss to or manage risk of stock price changes (increases or decreases) for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, nominee or beneficial owner or any of their respective affiliates or associates with respect to the shares of the Corporation, (v) an undertaking by the stockholder to notify the Corporation in writing of any change in the information called for by clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) as of the record date for such special meeting, by notice received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the 10th day following such record date, and thereafter by notice so given and received within two business days of any change in such information and, in any event, as of the close of business on the day preceding the meeting date, and (vi) an acknowledgement that any reduction in Ownership below the Requisite Percent (i.e., 15% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's Common Stock as of the date of the Special Meeting Request) following the delivery of the Special Meeting Request to the Secretary shall constitute a revocation of such Special Meeting Request.

Upon the written request of any stockholders who have called a special meeting, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Corporation to fix the date of the meeting which shall be held at such date and time as the Secretary may fix, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days after the receipt of the request (provided that such request complies with all applicable provisions of these

Only matters as are stated in the notice of a special meeting of stockholders shall be brought before and acted upon thereat; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board from submitting matters to the stockholders at any special meeting called by the stockholders.

SECTION 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Notice of Meetings***. Notice of each meeting of stockholders, annual or special, shall be in writing, shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

**ARTICLE III**

**<u>DIRECTORS</u>**

SECTION 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Powers***. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. The Board may exercise all such authority and powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by law or otherwise directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

SECTION 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Number, Election and Terms***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Authorized Number; Filling of Vacancies</u>. Until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, the authorized number of directors may be determined from time to time only by vote of a majority of the then authorized number of directors. At or following the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, the authorized number of directors may be determined from time to time either by a vote of a majority of the then authorized number of directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "**Voting Stock**"), voting together as a single class. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, shall hold office for the applicable term set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the expiration of the term of a director, the director shall continue to hold office until a successor shall be elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a

------

quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders at which the full term of office of the class to which such director has been elected expires, and until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Majority Voting</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 2, a nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the number of votes cast "for" that nominee's election exceed the number of votes cast "against" that nominee's election (excluding abstentions) at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present (a "**Majority Vote**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any nominee who does not receive a Majority Vote is expected to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board following certification of the stockholder vote. The Nominating and Governance Committee will promptly consider the resignation submitted by each nominee failing to receive a Majority Vote and recommend to the Board whether to accept the tendered resignation or reject it. The Board will consider the Nominating and Governance Committee's recommendation and decide whether to accept or reject any tendered resignations no later than at its first regularly scheduled meeting following certification of the stockholder vote.

Following the Board's decision on the Nominating and Governance Committee's recommendation, the Company will promptly publicly disclose the Board's decision and process (including, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the tendered resignation) in a periodic or current report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

To the extent that one or more directors' resignations are accepted by the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee will recommend to the Board whether to fill such vacancy or vacancies or to reduce the size of the Board.

Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to this provision will not participate in the Nominating and Governance Committee recommendation or Board consideration regarding whether or not to accept the tendered resignation. If a majority of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee failed to receive a Majority Vote at the same election, then the independent directors who were elected will appoint a Board committee amongst themselves solely for the purpose of considering the tendered resignations and will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject them. This Board committee may, but need not, consist of all of the independent directors who were elected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Contested Elections</u>. If the number of nominees for director, whether nominated by the Board and/or stockholders, exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at any

------

meeting of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, that, nominations by stockholders (i) have been made in compliance with Sections 3 and/or 4, as applicable, of this Article III and (ii) have not been withdrawn (such that the number of nominees no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected) on or prior to the day immediately preceding the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders. If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote "against" any nominee.

Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, (a) termination of service shall be determined without regard to any statutory or contractual notice periods for termination of employment, dismissal, redundancy, and similar events, and (b) if an Employee's employment is terminated under circumstances that entitle the Employee to severance benefits pursuant to any applicable severance plan of the Company or an Affiliate in which the Employee participates, the Employee's employment relationship with the Company and its Affiliates shall cease on the day prior to the date that severance benefits become payable under the terms of the applicable severance plan without regard to any delay in payment required by Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if an Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate while an Award granted to a Participant who provides services to such Affiliate is outstanding, the Committee may, in its discretion, deem such Participant to have a Termination of Service on the date the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate or on a later date specified by the Committee; (y) the Committee shall make any determination described in clause (x) before or not more than a reasonable period after the date the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate; and (z) each such Participant's Termination of Service shall be treated as an involuntary termination not for Cause. For purposes of clarification, any nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to the Participant upon a Termination of Service pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Plan shall be paid to the Participant upon a "separation from service", as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.45&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"***Unit***" means, for purposes of Performance Plan Units, the potential right to an Award equal to US$100 (or such amount of other monetary currency as the Committee shall determine) and, for purposes of Restricted Stock Units, the potential right to acquire one Share.

**ARTICLE IV**

**AWARDS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Eligibility***. All Employees, and such Other Service Providers as may be designated by the Committee from time to time, are eligible to receive Awards granted under the Plan, except as otherwise provided in this Article IV.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Form of Awards***. Awards shall be in the form determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Awards may be granted singly or in combination or in tandem with other Awards.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights***. The Committee may grant Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan to those Employees and Other Service Providers whom the Committee may from time to time select, in the amounts and pursuant to the other terms and conditions that the Committee, in its discretion, may determine and set forth in the Award Agreement, subject to the provisions below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Form*. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall, at the discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the Award Agreement, be in the form of Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or a combination of the two. If an Incentive Stock Option and a Nonqualified Stock Option are granted to the same Participant under the Plan at the same time, the form of each shall be clearly identified, and they shall be deemed to have been granted in separate grants. In no event shall the exercise of one Award affect the right to exercise the other Award. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone or in connection with concurrently or previously issued Nonqualified Stock Options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Exercise Price*. Other than with respect to Stock Options that are assumed, converted or substituted as a result of the acquisition of another company by the Company or an Affiliate or a combination of the Company or an Affiliate with another company, or with respect of the Conversion Awards, the Committee shall set the Exercise Price of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan at a price that is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.4. The Exercise Price of Incentive Stock Options, however, shall be equal to or greater than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant if the Participant receiving the Stock Options owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company, as defined in Section 424 of the Code. The Exercise Price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Stock Option shall be equal to the Exercise Price of the related Stock Option. The Exercise Price of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Term and Timing of Exercise*. Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall lapse not later than 10 years after the date of grant, as determined by the Committee at the time of grant. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or other subsequent agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, each Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part, subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The date on which any Award of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to a Participant may first be exercised shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Stock Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Stock Option and shall be exercisable only to the extent that the related Stock Option is exercisable.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest and remain exercisable as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of a deceased Participant may be exercised only by the estate of the Participant or by the person given authority to exercise the Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights by the Participant's will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution. If a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised by the executor or administrator of a deceased Participant's estate, or by the person or persons to whom the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right has been transferred by the Participant's will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, the Company shall be under no obligation to deliver Shares or cash until the Company is satisfied that the person exercising the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is the duly appointed executor or administrator of the deceased Participant's estate or the person to whom the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right has been transferred by the Participant's will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Payment of Exercise Price*. The Exercise Price of a Stock Option must be paid in full when the Stock Option is exercised. Stock certificates shall be registered and delivered only upon receipt of payment. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer, or postal or express money order. No portion of the Exercise Price of a Stock Option may be paid from the proceeds of a loan of cash from the Company to the Participant. In addition, the Committee may also permit payment of all or a portion of the Exercise Price to be made by any other method, provided, that, for Awards to Reporting Persons, permissible methods shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company or its agent, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds with respect to the portion of the Shares to be acquired having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the sum of the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tendering (actually or by attestation) to the Company previously acquired Shares that have been held by the Participant for at least six months, subject to paragraph (d)(v), and that have a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Instructing the Company to withhold Shares that would otherwise be issued having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid (provided such withholding has been expressly authorized by the Committee); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any combination of the methods described in paragraphs (i), (ii), and (iii).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee, in consideration of applicable accounting standards, may waive any holding period on Shares required to tender pursuant to paragraph (d)(ii) or prohibit withholding pursuant to paragraph (d)(iii).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Incentive Stock Options*. Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following additional conditions, limitations, and restrictions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Eligibility*. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or an Affiliate that is a subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company, within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Timing of Grant*. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan after the 10-year anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board or, if earlier, the date on which the Plan is approved by the Company's shareowners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Amount of Award*. The aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of grant of the Shares with respect to which the Incentive Stock Options awarded to any Participant first become exercisable during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. For purposes of this $100,000 limit, the Participant's Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company and its Affiliates shall be aggregated. To the extent any Incentive Stock Option would exceed the $100,000 limit, the Incentive Stock Option shall afterwards be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Timing of Exercise*. If the Committee exercises its discretion in the Award Agreement to permit an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised by a Participant more than three months after the Participant has ceased being an Employee (or more than 12 months if the Participant is permanently and totally disabled, within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code), the Incentive Stock Option shall afterwards be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes. For purposes of this paragraph (e)(iv), an Employee's employment relationship shall be treated as continuing intact while the Employee is on military leave, sick leave, or another approved leave of absence if the period of leave does not exceed 90 days, or a longer period to the extent that the Employee's right to reemployment with the Company or an Affiliate is guaranteed by statute or by contract. Where the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the Employee's right to reemployment is not guaranteed by statute or contract, the employment relationship shall be deemed to have ceased on the 91st day of the leave.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Transfer Restrictions*. In no event shall the Committee permit an Incentive Stock Option to be transferred by a Participant other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and any Incentive Stock Option awarded under this Plan shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant's lifetime.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights*. Upon exercise, Stock Appreciation Rights may be redeemed for cash or Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, in the discretion of the Committee, and as described in the Award Agreement. Cash payments shall be equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price for each Share for which a Stock Appreciation Rights was exercised. If the Stock Appreciation Right is redeemed for Shares, the Participant shall receive a number of whole Shares equal to the quotient of the cash payment amount divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Certain Prohibitions*. The following terms or actions shall not be permitted with respect to any Award of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Repricing*. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4, in no event shall the Committee decrease the Exercise Price of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right after the date of grant, or cancel outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and grant replacement Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with a lower Exercise Price than that of the replaced Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or other Awards, or purchase underwater Stock Options from a Participant for cash or replacement Awards without first obtaining the approval of the Company's shareowners in a manner that complies with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Dividend Equivalents*. The Committee shall not provide for the payment of Dividend Equivalents with respect to Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Reload Options*. The Committee shall not grant Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that have reload features under which the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right by a Participant automatically entitles the Participant to a new Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Additional Deferral Features*. The Committee shall not grant Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that have "additional deferral features" as described in Section 409A of the Code, thereby subjecting the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right to the requirements of Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Performance Awards***. The Committee may grant Performance Awards to the Employees or Other Service Providers that the Committee may from time to time select, in the amounts and, subject to Section 7.14, pursuant to the terms and conditions that the Committee may determine and set forth in the Award Agreement, subject to the provisions below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Performance Cycles*. Performance Awards shall be awarded in connection with a Performance Cycle determined by the Committee; provided, however, that a Performance Cycle may be no shorter than 12 months.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Eligible Participants*. Within 90 days after the commencement of a Performance Cycle, the Committee shall determine the Employees who shall be eligible to receive a Performance Award for the Performance Cycle; provided, however, that the Committee may determine the eligibility of any Employee other than a Reporting Person after the expiration of this 90-day period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Performance Measures; Targets; Award Criteria*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee shall fix and establish, in writing (A) the Performance Measures that apply to a Performance Cycle; (B) with respect to Cash-Based Awards, the Target Amount payable to each Participant; (C) with respect to other Performance Awards, the Target Vesting Percentage, or Target Amount payable, for each Participant; and (D) subject to Section 4.4(d), the criteria for computing the amount that shall be paid or shall vest with respect to each level of attained performance. The Committee shall also set forth the minimum level of performance, based on objective factors, that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before any Performance Award shall be paid or vest, and the percentage (not exceeding 200%) of the target Performance Award that shall vest upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed the minimum required level.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee may, in its discretion, select Performance Measures that measure the level of performance of the Company and/or a business unit, segment, division, or subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate during the Performance Cycle. The Committee may select Performance Measures for a Performance Cycle any one or combination of the Performance Measures, separately or in relation to each other, or relative to a selected comparator group, as interpreted by the Committee, which (to the extent applicable) shall be determined in accordance with GAAP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee, in its discretion, may, on a case-by-case basis, reduce, but not increase, the amount of Performance Awards payable to any Reporting Person with respect to any given Performance Cycle; provided, however, that no reduction shall result in an increase in the dollar amount or number of Shares payable under any Performance Award of another Reporting Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Payment; Certification*. No Performance Award shall vest with respect to any Reporting Person until the Committee certifies in writing the level of attainment of the applicable Performance Measures for the applicable Performance Cycle. Performance Awards awarded to Participants who are not Reporting Persons shall be based on the Performance Measures and payment formulas that the Committee, in its discretion, may establish for these purposes. These Performance Measures and formulas may be the same as or different than the Performance Measures and formulas that apply to Reporting Persons.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Form of Payment*. Performance Awards may be paid in cash or whole Shares, or a combination of cash and whole Shares, in the discretion of the Committee, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. Payment with respect to any fractional Share shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock***. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock under the Plan to those Employees and Other Service Providers whom the Committee may from time to time select, in the amounts and, with respect to Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 7.14, pursuant to the terms and conditions that the Committee, in its discretion, may determine and set forth in the Award Agreement, subject to the provisions below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Grant of Restricted Stock Units*. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock Units to any Employee or Other Service Provider, which Units are denominated in, payable in, valued, in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise related to, Shares. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, the terms and conditions that apply to Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 4.5, including whether and how Dividend Equivalents shall be credited with respect to any Award. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Grant of Restricted Stock*. As soon as practicable after Restricted Stock has been granted, certificates for all Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant and held for the Participant by the Company. The Participant shall have all rights of a shareowner with respect to the Shares, including the right to vote and to receive dividends or other distributions, except that the Shares may be subject to a vesting schedule and forfeiture and, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1, may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed until the restrictions are satisfied or lapse.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Dividends and Dividend Equivalents*. At the discretion of the Committee and as described in the Award Agreement, dividends issued on Shares of Restricted Stock may be paid immediately or withheld and deferred in the Participant's account. In the event of a payment of dividends on Common Stock, to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may credit Restricted Stock Units with Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise described in the Award Agreement or determined by the Committee, Dividend Equivalents may be withheld and deferred in the Participant's account subject to a vesting schedule, or used to credit additional Restricted Stock Units that vest on the same schedule and subject to any other conditions as the underlying Restricted Stock Units. The Committee shall determine any terms and conditions on deferral of Dividend Equivalents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Vesting and Forfeiture*. The Committee may, in its discretion and as set forth in the Award Agreement, impose any restrictions on Restricted Stock Units and/or their related Dividend Equivalents or Restricted Stock that it deems to be appropriate.

When restrictions lapse or are satisfied, a new certificate, without the legend, for the number of Shares with respect to which restrictions have lapsed or been satisfied shall be issued and delivered to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Redemption of Restricted Stock Units*. Restricted Stock Units may be redeemed for cash or whole Shares, or a combination of cash and whole Shares, in the discretion of the Committee, when the restrictions lapse and any other conditions set forth in the Award Agreement have been satisfied; provided, that with respect to any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 409A of the Code such redemption shall occur in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. Each Restricted Stock Unit may be redeemed for one Share or an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date on which the Restricted Stock Unit vests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Deferred Units*. Subject to Section 7.14 and to the extent determined by the Committee, Participants may be permitted to request the deferral of payment of vested Restricted Stock Units (including the value of related Dividend Equivalents) to a date later than the payment date specified in the Award Agreement, provided, that any such election be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. The Committee shall determine any terms and conditions on deferral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Other Stock-Based Awards***. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards (other than Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock) to any Employee or Other Service Provider that consist of, or are denominated in, payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise related to, Shares. These Awards may include, among other things, phantom or hypothetical Shares. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion and subject to Section 7.14, the terms and conditions that will apply to Other Stock-Based Awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.6, including whether Dividend Equivalents will be credited with respect to any such Awards in the event of a payment of dividends on Common Stock, and whether such Award will be settled in cash or whole Shares, or a combination of cash and whole Shares, when the restrictions lapse and any other conditions set forth in the Award Agreement have been satisfied. The terms and conditions of Other Stock-Based Awards shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Conversion Awards***. The Company is authorized to issue Awards ("Conversion Awards") in connection with the replacement, assumption and equitable adjustment of equity and equity-based awards granted by Honeywell prior to the Separation (collectively, the "Honeywell Awards"). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, (i) in accordance with a formula for conversion of the Honeywell Awards as determined by the Company in a manner consistent with the Separation, the number of Shares subject to a Conversion Award and the exercise price of any Conversion Award that is a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee, and (ii) Conversion Awards shall be subject to the same vesting terms and overall term that applied to the related Honeywell Awards, in each case subject to the discretion of the Committee.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Termination for Cause***. If a Participant incurs a Termination of Service for Cause, then all outstanding Awards shall immediately be canceled, except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or subsequent agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate.

**ARTICLE V**

**SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; ADJUSTMENTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Shares Available***. The Shares issuable under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held in the Company's treasury. The total number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be issued under the Plan may equal but may not exceed 10 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.4; provided, however, that from the aggregate limit:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no more than 10 million Shares may be available for grant in the form of Incentive Stock Options; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Awards shall be subject to the Minimum Vesting Condition; *provided*, *however*, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, (i) accelerate the vesting of Awards or otherwise lapse or waive the Minimum Vesting Condition upon (A) the Participant's death or Disability, (b) other Termination of Service, or (C) a Change in Control (subject to the requirements of Section 5.5), (ii) grant Awards that are not subject to the Minimum Vesting Condition with respect to 5% or less of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.4 and (iii) grant Awards to Non-Employee Directors that are not subject to the Minimum Vesting Condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Counting Rules***. (a) The following Shares related to Awards to be issued under this Plan shall not count against the limits set forth in Section 5.1:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shares related to Awards paid in cash; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shares related to Awards that expire, are forfeited or canceled or terminate for any other reason without issuance of Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Shares issued in connection with Awards that are assumed, converted or substituted as a result of the acquisition of another company by the Company or an Affiliate or a combination of the Company or an Affiliate with another company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Conversion Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of clarity, Shares that are tendered or withheld in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price of an Award or in satisfaction of withholding tax obligations, and Shares that are reacquired with cash tendered in payment of the Exercise Price of an Award, shall not be reincluded in or added back to the number of Shares

------

available for issuance under the Plan. Upon the settlement of any Stock Appreciation Right issued under the Plan, only the gross number of Shares issued to the Participant or used to determine the settlement value will count against the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Non-Employee Director Limits***. No Non-Employee Director shall be granted Awards during any calendar year that, when aggregated with such Non-Employee Director's cash fees with respect to such calendar year, exceed $1,000,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for the Company's financial reporting purposes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Adjustment Upon Certain Changes***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Adjustments*. In the event of any change in corporate structure affecting outstanding Shares or the value thereof, including any dividend or distribution (whether in cash, Shares or other property), stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction, such adjustments and other substitutions shall be made to the Plan and to outstanding Awards as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable or appropriate, including such adjustments in (i) the limitations set forth in Section 5.1, including the maximum aggregate number, class and kind of securities that may be delivered under the Plan, and (ii) the number, class, kind and Exercise Price of securities subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan (including, if the Committee deems appropriate, the full or partial substitution of similar options to purchase the shares of, or other awards denominated in the shares of, another company).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Other Changes*. The Committee may make other adjustments in the terms and conditions of Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 5.4(a)) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits to be made available under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Performance Awards*. In the event of any transaction or event described in this Section 5.4, the Committee shall have the power to make equitable adjustments in any Performance Measure and in other terms of any Performance Award, provided that such adjustment is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder; and provided further that no such adjustment shall be made following the occurrence of a Change in Control to a Performance Award granted to a Participant without the consent of the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Other Rights or Changes*. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger or

------

consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares or amount of other property subject to, or the terms related to, any Award. Except as expressly provided by this Section 5.4, and without limiting the generality of Section 6.1, no material adverse change may be made to the terms of an Award granted to a Participant as a result of an event described in this Section 5.4 without the consent of the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Change in Control***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Treatment of Awards Generally*. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.4, the provisions of Section 5.4 shall apply to Awards that remain unvested or unpaid upon a Change in Control, as if such Change in Control constituted an event described therein. For the avoidance of doubt, Awards shall not vest upon or following a Change in Control unless and until this Section 5.5 applies to a Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Accelerated Vesting Upon Certain Termination Events*. If the service of a Participant with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated involuntarily without Cause or voluntarily by the Participant for Good Reason during the two-year period following a Change in Control, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all outstanding Awards held by such Participant shall become vested and/or exercisable as of the effective date of such termination, whether or not the Awards were otherwise vested and/or exercisable, and all conditions shall be waived with respect to outstanding Awards; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for all outstanding Awards that are Performance Awards, (A) if the Performance Cycle has been completed, payment of amounts determined in accordance with the terms of the Performance Award shall be made in a lump sum not later than 70 days following the effective date of such termination, and (B) except as otherwise determined by the Committee, the target level of performance shall be deemed to have been achieved with respect to such Performance Award and payment of amounts determined in accordance with the terms of the Performance Award, prorated to reflect the portion of the full Performance Cycle for such Performance Award that elapsed prior to such effective date shall be made in a lump sum not later than 70 days following such effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Deferred Awards*. Notwithstanding Section 5.4(b), but subject to Section 7.14, the Committee may permit a Participant to elect not to have payment of an Award, including the value of any related Dividend Equivalents, accelerated as provided by such Section 5.4(b). The terms and conditions of a deferral may not be changed at any time after the Change in Control.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Fractional Shares***. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan, and unless the Committee determines otherwise, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of any fractional Shares that would otherwise be issuable shall be paid in lieu of such fractional Shares. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, cancel, terminate, otherwise eliminate or transfer or pay other securities or other property in lieu of issuing any fractional Shares.

**ARTICLE VI**

**AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Amendment***. The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board without the approval of shareowners of the Company, except that no revision to the terms of the Plan shall be effective until the amendment is approved by the shareowners of the Company if such approval is required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or such amendment materially increases the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (other than an increase pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan). No amendment of the Plan made without the Participant's written consent may materially adversely affect any right of a Participant with respect to an outstanding Award unless such amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law. The Plan may not be amended in any manner adverse to the interests of Participants during a Potential Change in Control Period or any other period of two years following a Change in Control, unless such amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Termination***. The Plan shall terminate upon the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating the Plan.

No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after it has terminated. The termination of the Plan, however, shall not alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of any Participant without such Participant's written consent under any Award previously granted under the Plan. After the termination of the Plan, any previously granted Awards shall remain in effect and shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

**ARTICLE VII**

**GENERAL PROVISIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Nontransferability of Awards***. No Award under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or transfer, and no other persons shall otherwise acquire any rights therein, except as provided below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Award may be transferred by will or by the applicable laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee may provide in the applicable Award Agreement that all or any part of an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) may, subject to the prior written consent of the Committee, be transferred to one or more of the following classes of donees: a family member; a trust for the benefit of a family member; a limited partnership whose partners are solely family members; or any other legal entity set up for the benefit of family members. For purposes of this Section 7.1(b), a family member

------

means a Participant and/or the Participant's spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews, including adopted, in-laws and step family members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, any Nonqualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right transferred by a Participant pursuant to Section 7.1(b) may be exercised by the transferee only to the extent that the Award would have been exercisable by the Participant had no transfer occurred. Any transferred Award shall be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and in the applicable Award Agreement. The Participant or the Participant's estate shall remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority, and the transfer of Shares upon exercise of the Award shall be conditioned on the payment of any withholding tax. The Committee may, in its discretion, disallow all or a part of any transfer of an Award pursuant to Section 7.1(b) unless and until the Participant makes arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the payment of any withholding tax. The Participant must immediately notify the Committee, in the form and manner required by the Committee, of any proposed transfer of an Award pursuant to Section 7.1(b). No transfer shall be effective until the Committee consents to the transfer in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless otherwise restricted by Company policy for Reporting Persons, Restricted Stock may be freely transferred after the restrictions lapse or are satisfied and the Shares are delivered; provided, however, that Restricted Stock awarded to an affiliate of the Company may be transferred only pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an effective registration for resale under the 1933 Act. For purposes of this Section 7.1(d), "affiliate" shall have the meaning assigned to that term under Rule 144.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In no event may a Participant transfer an Incentive Stock Option other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Withholding of Taxes***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights*. Subject to Section 7.2(d), as a condition to the delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may require that the Participant, at the time of exercise, pay to the Company by cash, certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations. The Committee may also, in its discretion, accept payment of tax withholding obligations through any of the Exercise Price payment methods described in Section 4.3(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Other Awards Payable in Shares*. Subject to Section 7.2(d), the Company shall satisfy a Participant's tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the release of restrictions on Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock, and Other Stock-Based Awards by withholding Shares that would otherwise be available for delivery. The Company may also allow the Participant to satisfy the Participant's tax withholding

------

obligations by payment to the Company in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer, or postal or express money order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Cash Awards*. The Company shall satisfy a Participant's tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the payment of any Award in cash by withholding cash from such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Withholding Amount*. The Committee, in consideration of applicable accounting standards, has full discretion to either (i) allow Participants to elect, or (ii) otherwise direct as a general rule, to have the Company withhold Shares for taxes at an amount that is not less than the applicable minimum statutory amount and not more than the applicable maximum statutory amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Forfeiture Provisions.*** The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in an Award Agreement that an Award granted thereunder shall be canceled if the Participant, without the consent of the Company, while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate or for a period after Termination of Service, (a) violates a noncompetition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, confidentiality, or non-disparagement covenant or agreement, (b) otherwise engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interest of the Company or any Affiliate, including fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or (c) to the extent applicable to the Participant, otherwise violates any policy adopted by the Company or any Affiliate relating to the recovery of compensation granted, paid, delivered, awarded or otherwise provided to any Participant by the Company or any Affiliate as such policy is in effect on the date of grant of the applicable Award or, to the extent necessary to address the requirements of applicable law (including Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as codified in Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any other applicable law), as may be amended from time to time. The Committee may also provide in an Award Agreement that (i) a Participant will forfeit any gain realized on the vesting or exercise of such Award if the Participant engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence, or (ii) a Participant must repay the gain to the Company realized under a previously paid Award if the Participant engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence or a financial restatement reduces the amount that would have been earned under such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the non-disclosure restrictions in this Section 7.3 or in any Award Agreement shall, or shall be interpreted to, impair the Participant from exercising any legally protected whistleblower rights (including under Rule 21F under the Exchange Act).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Code Section 83(b) Elections***. The Company, the Affiliates, and the Committee have no responsibility for a Participant's election, attempt to elect or failure to elect to include the value of an Award of Restricted Stock or other Award subject to Section 83 of the Code in the Participant's gross income for the year of grant pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. Any Participant who makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code shall promptly provide the Committee with a copy of the election form.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***No Implied Rights***. The establishment and operation of the Plan, including the eligibility of a Participant to participate in the Plan, shall not be construed as conferring any legal or other right upon any Participant for the continuation of service through the end of any vesting period, Performance Cycle, or other applicable period. The Company and the Affiliates expressly reserve the right, which may be exercised at any time and in the Company's or an Affiliate's sole discretion, to discharge any individual or treat him or her without regard to the effect that discharge might have upon him or her as a Participant in the Plan. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee's determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***No Obligation to Exercise Awards; No Right to Notice of Expiration Date***. The grant of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise the Award. The Company, the Affiliates, and the Committee have no obligation to inform a Participant of the date on which a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right lapses except in the Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***No Rights as Shareowners***. A Participant granted an Award under the Plan shall have no rights as a shareowner of the Company with respect to the Award unless and until certificates for the Shares underlying the Award are registered in the Participant's name and delivered to the Participant. The right of any Participant to receive an Award by virtue of participation in the Plan shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Indemnification of Committee***. The Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each person made or threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person, or the executor or administrator of the person's estate, is or was a member of the Committee or a delegate of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***No Required Segregation of Assets***. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Nature of Payments***. All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services for the Company or an Affiliate. Any gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan constitutes a special incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be taken into account as compensation for purposes of any other employee benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate, except as the employee benefit plan otherwise provides. The adoption of the Plan shall have no effect on Awards made or to be made under any other benefit plan covering an employee of the Company or an Affiliate or any predecessor or successor of the Company or an Affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Awards in Foreign Countries***. The Committee has the authority to grant Awards to Employees and Other Service Providers who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States on any different terms and conditions than those specified in the Plan that the

------

Committee, in its discretion, believes to be necessary or desirable to accommodate differences in applicable law, tax policy, or custom, while furthering the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may also approve any supplements to the Plan or alternative versions of the Plan as it believes to be necessary or appropriate for these purposes without altering the terms of the Plan in effect for other Participants; provided, however, that the Committee may not make any supplemental or alternative version that (a) increases limitations contained in Section 4.3(e) and Section 4.8, (b) increases the number of Shares available under the Plan, as set forth in Section 5.1; (c) causes the Plan to cease to satisfy any conditions under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or (d) otherwise contains terms that would require approval by the shareowners of the Company under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Securities Matters***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company shall be under no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the 1933 Act of any Shares to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to cause to be issued or delivered any certificates evidencing Shares pursuant to the Plan unless and until the Company is advised by its counsel that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which Shares are traded. The Committee may require, as a condition to the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such covenants, agreements and representations, and that such certificates bear such legends, as the Committee deems necessary or desirable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The exercise of any Award granted hereunder shall only be effective at such time as counsel to the Company shall have determined that the issuance and delivery of Shares pursuant to such exercise is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which Shares are traded. The Company may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of an exercise of an Award hereunder or the issuance or transfer of Shares pursuant to any Award pending or to ensure compliance under federal or state securities laws. The Company shall inform the Participant in writing of its decision to defer the effectiveness of the exercise of an Award or the issuance or transfer of Shares pursuant to any Award. During the period that the effectiveness of the exercise of an Award has been deferred, the Participant may, by written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.13&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Governing Law; Severability***. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken under the Plan shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable U.S. federal law. If any provision of the Plan is held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other parts of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.14&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Section 409A of the Code***. With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of such Section, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of such Section and the related regulations, and the Plan shall be operated accordingly. If any provision of this Plan or any term or condition of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Any reservation of rights or discretion by the Company or the Committee hereunder affecting the timing of payment of any Award subject to Section 409A of the Code shall only be as broad as is permitted by Section 409A of the Code and any regulations thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Payments to Specified Employees***. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A(2)(B) of the Code) as of the date of such Participant's separation from service (as determined pursuant to Section 409A of the Code), any Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code payable to such Participant as a result of his or her separation from service, shall be paid on the first business day of the first calendar month that begins after the six-month anniversary of the date of the separation from service, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant's death.

Re: Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. <br> <u>Registration Statement on Form S-8</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special United States counsel to Honeywell International Inc. in connection with the registration statement on Form S-8 (together with the exhibits thereto, the "Registration Statement") of Solstice Advanced Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to be filed on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the registration of 11,215,000 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company available for future issuance under the 2025 Stock Incentive Plan of Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. and its Affiliates (the "Plan").

This opinion letter is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act (the "Rules and Regulations").

In rendering the opinion stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Registration Statement in the form to be filed with the Commission on the date hereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an executed copy of a certificate of Brian Rudick, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company, dated the date hereof (the "Secretary's Certificate");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a copy of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in effect as of the date hereof (the "Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation"), and the Company's certificate of incorporation as in effect at the time of adoption of the Plan, each certified pursuant to the Secretary's Certificate;

Solstice Advanced Materials Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a copy of the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws in effect as of the date hereof (the "Amended and Restated By-laws"), and the Company's by-laws as in effect at the time of adoption of the Plan, each as certified pursuant to the Secretary's Certificate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a copy of certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the approval of the Plan, the filing of the Registration Statement and certain related matters, and certified pursuant to the Secretary's Certificate.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion stated below.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including electronic signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photocopied copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of executed documents, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. As to any facts relevant to the opinion stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials, including the facts and conclusions set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Secretary's Certificate.

In rendering the opinion stated herein, we have also assumed that (i) an appropriate account statement evidencing Shares credited to an eligible individual's account maintained with the Company's transfer agent has been or will be issued by the Company's transfer agent, (ii) the issuance of Shares will be properly recorded in the books and records of the Company, (iii) each award agreement under which stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards or cash-based awards are granted pursuant to the Plan will be consistent with the Plan and will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (iv) the issuance of the Shares does not and will not (a) except to the extent expressly stated in the opinion contained herein, violate any statute to which the Company or such issuance is subject, or (b) constitute a violation of, or a breach under, or require the consent or approval of any other person under any agreement or instrument binding on the Company (except that we do not and will not make this assumption with respect to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-laws, although we have assumed compliance with any covenant, restriction or provision with respect to financial ratios or tests or any aspect of the financial condition or results of operations of the Company contained in such instruments), (v) the Company will continue to have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock and (vi) the Company's authorized capital stock is as set forth in the Amended

Solstice Advanced Materials Inc.

and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and we have relied solely on the certified copy thereof issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and have not made any other inquiries or investigations.

We do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL").

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company under the DGCL and, when the Shares are issued to the Plan participants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and applicable award agreement for consideration in an amount at least equal to the par value of such Shares, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations. This opinion letter is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.

Very truly yours,
