**Establishment of Performance Goals under the 2026 Bonus Program**

On March 31, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of MercadoLibre, Inc. (the "Company") established the performance goals for the Company's bonus program for the 2026 fiscal year (the "2026 Bonus Program"). Under the 2026 Bonus Program, the bonus payout for each of Ariel Szarfsztejn (Chief Executive Officer), Marcos Galperin (Executive Chairman), Osvaldo Giménez (Fintech President), Daniel Rabinovich (Technology & Operations President), and Martin de los Santos (EVP and Chief Financial Officer) (referred to below as "NEOs") is based on achievement of Net revenues and financial income (in constant dollars), Income from operations (in constant dollars), Total payment volume - adjusted (the total sum of all transactions paid for using Mercado Pago, including marketplace and non-marketplace transactions, excluding peer-to-peer transactions) (in constant dollars) and the Company's Competitive Net Promoter Score. The Board has determined a target bonus for each NEO and applies an adjustment of up to + 50% or -50% to each bonus based upon the individual performance of each NEO.

The Board set each NEO's target bonus under the 2026 Bonus Program as four months of base salary (33.33% of each NEO's annual base salary).

**Adoption of the 2026 Long Term Retention Program**

On March 31, 2026, the Board approved the adoption of the 2026 Long Term Retention Program (the "2026 LTRP") and, after taking into account a compensation competitiveness analysis carried out by the Company's independent third-party compensation consultant, established the target award for each NEO under the 2026 LTRP. The 2026 LTRP provides the NEOs, along with other members of senior management, with the opportunity to receive cash payments annually for a period of six years (with the first payment occurring between January 1, 2027 and April 30, 2027, as determined by the Company), subject to continued employment on each payment date (other than in specified circumstances). Each award to an NEO under the 2026 LTRP is deemed to have a Grant Date (as defined in the 2026 LTRP) of January 1, 2026. Under the 2026 LTRP, each NEO shall receive:

● 16.66% of half of his or her target 2026 LTRP award annually for a period of six years (with the first payment occurring between January 1, 2027 and April 30, 2027) (the "Annual Fixed Payment"); and

● on each date the Company pays the Annual Fixed Payment, each NEO will also receive a payment equal to the product of (i) 16.66% of half of the NEO's target 2026 LTRP award and (ii) the quotient of (a) the Applicable Year Stock Price (as defined below) over (b) the average closing price of the Company's common stock on NASDAQ during the final 60 trading days of 2025. For purposes of the 2026 LTRP, the "Applicable Year Stock Price" is the average closing price of the Company's common stock on NASDAQ during the final 60 trading days of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the applicable payment date occurs, for so long as our common stock is listed on NASDAQ.

The target 2026 LTRP awards for our NEOs are set forth below.

year during which the Participant has or will attain age 66 (such period, the "Payment Period"), a portion of the Participant's
Award equal to the quotient of (I) half of the Participant's Award divided by (II) the number of Payment Dates during the Payment
Period (the "Annual Amount") shall be payable to the Participant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the Participant shall also receive on the Payment Date of each calendar year during the Payment Period,
a payment equal in value to the product of (I) multiplied by (II), where (I) is equal to the quotient of (a) half of the Participant's
Award divided by (b) the number of Payment Dates during the Payment Period and (II) is equal to the quotient of (a) divided by (b), where
(a), the numerator, is equal to the Market Value as of the first day of the fiscal year in which the applicable Payment Date occurs and
(b), the denominator, is equal to $2094.65 (the average closing price of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market
during the final sixty (60) trading days of 2025);

provided, however, that in the event an employee of the Company was determined to be an Eligible Employee after January 1, 2026 (or, with respect to only to new employees joining the Company, prior to September 30, 2026), with respect to the Payment Date in 2027 only, the Annual Amount contained in ‎Article 4(a)(4)(ii)(A) and ‎Article 4(a)(4)(ii)(B) above shall be replaced with an amount equal to the otherwise applicable Annual Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending December 31, 2026 and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any other agreement entered into in connection with or pursuant to the Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Each Participant who is employed by the Company on the date a Change in Control occurs shall be vested in the right to receive fifty percent (50%) of the Award payments scheduled to be paid thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) As soon as practicable after the date a Change in Control occurs, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the date a Change in Control occurs, each Participant described in clause (1) of this paragraph shall receive a single cash payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Award payments scheduled to be paid after the Change in Control (based on the Market Value on the date the Change in Control occurs).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Each Award payment scheduled to be paid after the Change in Control shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%), i.e., to reflect the single cash payment under clause (2) of this paragraph, and shall continue to be paid on each Payment Date in accordance with the preceding paragraph, subject to the Participant's continued employment; provided, however, that if a Participant described in clause (1) of this paragraph experiences a Covered Termination on or after Change in Control, and subject to such Participant's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims on a form provided by the Company, any Award payments scheduled to be paid after the Covered Termination shall be paid in a single cash payment (based on the Market Value on the date of the Covered Termination) within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of such release.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any agreement entered into in connection with or pursuant to the Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The portion of any Award under this Plan that was forfeited or forfeitable upon the Participant's Covered Termination before a Change in Control shall be reinstated (or if not yet forfeited, retained) as of the date of the Change in Control if such date is not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the Covered Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) As soon as practicable after the date a Change in Control occurs, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the date a Change in Control occurs, subject to the Participant's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims on a form provided by the Company, each Participant described in clause (1) of this paragraph shall receive a single cash payment equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Award payments scheduled to be paid after the date of the Participant's Covered Termination. With respect to any Award payment originally scheduled to have been paid before the date of the Change in Control, the amount of such payment will be based on the Market Value on the date of the Covered Termination. With respect to any Award payments scheduled to be paid on or after the Change in Control, the amount of such payment will be based on the Market Value on the date the Change in Control occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) If a Participant holding an Award that constitutes "deferred compensation" under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") is a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, no distribution or payment of any amount that is due because of a "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) will be issued or paid before the date that is six (6) months following the date of such Participant's "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) or, if earlier, the date of the Participant's death, unless such distribution or payment can be made in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and any amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump sum on the day after such six month period elapses, with the balance paid thereafter on the original schedule. Each payment provided to any Participant in connection with an Award granted hereunder shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, if the payment of an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code and the timing of a Participant's execution and delivery of a release of claims could affect the calendar year in which any amount of such payment is paid because the termination date occurred toward the end of a calendar year, then such payment, for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, shall be deemed to have been made in the second calendar year.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any other agreement entered into in connection with or pursuant to the Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If any portion of an Award received or to be received by a Participant (either alone or together with other payments or benefits which such Participant received or realized or is then entitled to receive or realize from the Company under any other plan, program, arrangement or agreement in connection with a Change in Control or a Participant's termination of employment) (all such payments and benefits, being hereinafter referred to as the "Total Payments") would be subject (in whole or part), to any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in any other plan, program, arrangement or agreement, the Company will reduce the payment of the Award to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (but in no event to less than zero); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Award will only be reduced if (i) the net amount of any Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of United States federal, state, municipal and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out, if any, of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state, municipal and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Participant would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out, if any, of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If (A) any portion of the Total Payments other than an Award (the "Other Payments") is required to be reduced pursuant to a provision substantially similar to this Article 4(d), (B) any portion of an Award is required to be reduced pursuant to this ‎Article 4(d); and (C) there is no other provision in any other plan, program, arrangement or agreement governing the payment of the Other Payments which dictates the order of the reduction in the Other Payments, then the Total Payments will be reduced in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with amounts that are payable last reduced first, will next be reduced; (iv) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) will be next reduced pro-rata. Any reductions made pursuant to each of clauses (i)-(v) above will be made in the following manner: first, a pro-rata reduction of cash payment and payments and benefits due in respect of any equity not subject to Section 409A of the Code, and second, a pro-rata reduction of cash payments and payments and benefits due in respect of any equity subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Award will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax: (i) no portion of the Award the receipt or enjoyment of which the Participant shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a "payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code will be taken into account; and (ii) no portion of the Award will be taken into account which, in the opinion of the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Company's independent auditor, does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Award will be taken into account which constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the Base Amount (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The fact that the Participant's right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this ‎Article 4(d)(4) will not of itself limit or otherwise affect any other rights of the Participant under the Plan. The Participant and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Award.

**Article 5. <u>Termination of Employment; Forfeitures</u>**

(a) Except as provided in ‎Article 4 with respect to a Covered Termination within one hundred and twenty (120) days before a Change in Control or a Covered Termination on or after a Change in Control, participation in the Plan shall cease immediately upon a Participant's retirement, resignation or termination of employment as an Eligible Employee for any reason (with or without Cause), or if determined by the Award Committee, upon the Participant's death or disability. Disability will be determined under the Company's long term disability plan, if any, or upon receipt of a letter of determination or similar of the Participant's complete disability by the applicable governmental authority under local applicable law, which complete disability entitles the Participant to disability payments under local law.

(b) In the event that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) while the Participant is employed by the Company, he or she engages in, directly or indirectly, any other business or activity that could materially or adversely affect the Company's business or his or her ability to perform his or her duties for the Company, including, but not limited to, any activities adversely affecting the MercadoLibre Business anywhere in the Territory;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) while the Participant is employed by the Company or during the one-year period following the termination of the Participant's employment for any reason, he or she directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of another Person or entity, hires or solicits for hire any employees of the Company or its Affiliates or in any manner attempts to influence or induce any employee of the Company or its Affiliates to leave their employment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) while the Participant is employed by the Company or during the one-year period following the termination of the Participant's employment for any reason, he or she alone (or in association with any other Person) directly or indirectly, in any capacity, owns, operates, manages, controls, engages in, invests in, becomes employed by, acts as a consultant or advisor to, or provides services for, or otherwise assists any other Person in activities that are competitive with the MercadoLibre Business anywhere in the Territory, he or she will automatically forfeit any and all benefits received under the Plan and any and all benefits which the Participant may otherwise be entitled to receive under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) If the Participant terminates employment with the Company for any reason (with or without Cause) and he or she alone (or in association with any other Person) takes any of the action set forth in subparagraph (1), (2) or (3) above, the Participant will be required to immediately, and in no event more than five (5) days following the termination of the Participant's employment, return all amounts which the Participant has received under the terms of the Plan (the "Recovery Amount"), and the Participant and the Company hereby agree to the following, notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) that the Company may withhold all or a portion of the Recovery Amount from any salary, wages or other amounts due to the Participant from the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in addition to the Recovery Amount, the Company may also recover any fees incurred by the Company in seeking to collect the Recovery Amount, including, but not limited to, the Company's reasonable attorneys' fees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of any Person whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in and of itself shall not be cause for automatic forfeiture under ‎Article 5(b)(3), whether or not the subject Person is competitive with the Company.

(c) Except as provided in ‎Article 4 with respect to a Covered Termination within one hundred and twenty (120) days before a Change in Control or a Covered Termination on or after a Change in Control, the portion of any Award under this Plan that has not been actually paid to the Participant prior to the date of such resignation or other termination of employment shall be forfeited, except that the Award Committee, in its discretion, may pay all or part of the amount that remains payable under an Award upon the disability or death of the Participant in accordance with such rules or procedures established by the Award Committee; provided, however, that any amount of the Award payment that the Award Committee determines to pay shall be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the year that the Participant's employment ends on account of disability or death. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Award paid to the Participant shall be subject to recovery by the Company in the event that the Participant is terminated for Cause and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be subject to recovery from any amounts owed by the Company to the Participant, including, but not limited to, offsetting any amounts owed under the Plan to the Company against any amounts otherwise owed to the Participant by the Company.

(d) If the Award Committee decides to pay all or part of an Award after the death of a Participant in accordance with this ‎Article 5, the Participant may designate in writing one or more persons ("beneficiary") to receive any unpaid portion of the Participant's Award upon the death of the Participant. By similar action, the Participant may designate a change of beneficiary at any time, which change shall be effective only upon receipt by the Award Committee of said notice. The last such designation form filed with the Award Committee prior to the Participant's death shall control. The Award Committee may establish a form or other requirements for such designation. If the Participant designates his spouse as a beneficiary, the divorce of Participant shall automatically revoke that designation of his spouse as beneficiary except to the extent otherwise provided in a subsequent beneficiary designation filed by the Participant with the Award Committee. In the absence of a written designation, or in the event the Participant dies without a beneficiary surviving him, any amount which would otherwise be payable on account of his death shall be paid to the surviving spouse of the Participant or, if none, to the Participant's estate. A beneficiary of a Participant shall have no interest or rights hereunder during the lifetime of the Participant.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the other provisions of this ‎Article 5 and the Plan, Awards under the Plan are subject to clawback in accordance with The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any implementing regulations thereunder, the terms of the Company's Policy Regarding Clawback of Incentive Compensation, as amended from time to time, any clawback policy adopted by the Company and any compensation recovery policy otherwise required by applicable law (collectively, the "Clawback Policy"), which Clawback Policy shall apply and be deemed incorporated herein to the extent applicable. No recovery of any Award pursuant to such a Clawback Policy shall be treated as an event giving rise to a Participant's right to voluntarily terminate employment upon a resignation for "good reason" or for a "constructive termination" (or any similar term) under any plan of or agreement or contract with the Company. The Company's rights contemplated in this ‎Article 5(e) and/or pursuant to any Clawback Policy are not exclusive, and therefore the availability of such remedies are without prejudice to any and all other remedies available to the Company pursuant to applicable law or under any other contract, plan or agreement.

**Article 6. <u>Administrative Provisions</u>**

(a) The Plan was approved by the Board on March 31, 2026 to be effective as of January 1, 2026 for all services provided by Participants in 2026.

(b) Unless the Board provides otherwise, the Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Award Committee, which has been provided absolute authority hereunder to administer the Plan, subject to the limitation on the authority of the Chief Executive Officer set forth in the definition of Award Committee above. The Board and its members, the members of the Award Committee and any other individual who may, from time to time, have been delegated responsibility with respect to the administration of this Plan (collectively, "Authorized Persons"), shall have the full authority, discretion and power necessary or desirable to administer and interpret this Plan, in accordance with the Plan terms. Benefits under the Plan shall be payable only if the Authorized Persons in their respective sole and absolute discretion determine that any such benefits are properly payable under the Plan. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Authorized Persons shall have complete authority, sole discretion and power to: (i) determine the Participants; (ii) determine the amount of the Award for each Participant; (iii) interpret the provisions of this Plan and any other documentation used in connection with this Plan, including documentation specifying individual Awards and the like; (iv) establish and interpret rules, regulations and procedures (written or by practice) for the administration of the Plan; (v) determine which entity is responsible for making Award payments; (vi) determine the effect, if any, the transfer of a Participant's service location from one jurisdiction to another will have on an outstanding Award; and (vii) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or desirable for the administration or interpretation of this Plan. The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to Authorized Persons shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of such Authorized Person. All actions, decisions and interpretations of the Authorized Persons shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties. All expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

(c) Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed by implication, action or otherwise to constitute a contract of employment or otherwise to impose any limitation on any right of the Company to terminate a Participant's employment at any time for any or no reason.

(d) A Participant shall have no right to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber any right to receive any Award made under the Plan, nor will any Participant have any lien on any assets of the Company by reason of any Award made under the Plan.

(e) The Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, any taxes required by law to be withheld from Awards made under this Plan.

(f) The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time, and from time to time, by action of the Board or the Award Committee, including, without limitation, by way of an amendment to eliminate Award payments during any calendar year, as determined by any of the Authorized Persons in its sole discretion, but in any event, the Plan will be terminated no later than upon the last date the Company pays all Participants any and all amounts that may be due under the Plan and no amounts remain due and payable under the Plan to any person as determined by Award Committee. The preceding sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, on and after a Change in Control, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan that adversely affects the rights of a Participant (or the beneficiary of a deceased Participant who has not received payment of an amount approved by the Award Committee under ‎Article 5), shall be effective without the written consent of that Participant or beneficiary.

(g) The adoption of the Plan does not imply any commitment to continue to maintain the Plan, or any modified version of the Plan, or any other plan for incentive compensation for such Participant for any period of time. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or in any way affect any right and power of the Company to terminate the employment of any employee at any time without assigning a reason therefor. The receipt of an Award under this Plan does not guarantee an Award, any Award amount, or, if a Participant receives another Award, a similar Award amount, under any other plan that may be adopted or approved by the Company.

(h) This Plan, insofar as it provides for Awards, shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any Awards under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created pursuant to this Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.

(i) In order to be effective, any amendment of this Plan or any Award must be in writing and made by the Award Committee. No oral statement, representation, written presentation or the like shall have the effect of amending or modifying this Plan or any Award, or otherwise have any binding effect on the Company, the Board, the Chief Executive, the Award Committee or any individual who has been delegated authority to administer this Plan.

(j) The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

(k) In case any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or void, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provisions had never been inserted herein.

(l) Except for their own gross negligence or gross misconduct regarding the performance of the duties specifically assigned to them under, or their willful breach of the terms of, this Plan, the Company (and its affiliates), Board and its members, the Award Committee and its members, and any other entity or individual administering any aspect of this Plan shall be held harmless by the Participants and their respective representatives, heirs, successors and assigns against liability or losses occurring by reason of any act or omission under the Plan.

(m) Should the Company effect one or more stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions or consolidations of Shares or other similar changes in capitalization, then the terms of outstanding Awards shall be adjusted as the Award Committee shall determine to be equitably required. Any determination made under this ‎Article 6(m) by the Award Committee shall be final and conclusive. The issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, Awards.
