Exhibit 10.3

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

1. Separation Date.  I, Bryan F. Bulawa, acknowledge that my employment with Enterprise Products Company (the “Company”) is terminated effective August 24, 2018 (“Separation Date”).

2. Separation Benefits.  I understand and agree that in return for my promises set forth in this Separation Agreement (“Separation Agreement”), I will receive the separation benefits set forth in Exhibit A (“Separation Benefits”) to this Separation Agreement.  Exhibit A is incorporated by reference as part of this Separation Agreement. Except as provided in this Separation Agreement, I have no contractual or other right or claim to any of the Separation Benefits.  I further understand and acknowledge that I will receive the Separation Benefits if, and only if, I timely sign this Separation Agreement, and then only if and after this Separation Agreement becomes irrevocable in accordance with Paragraph 5.

3. Company Group.  Although I was an employee of the Company only, for purposes of this Separation Agreement, the term “Company Group” means and includes (individually, collectively or in any combination) (i) the Company, (ii) Enterprise Products Partners L.P., (iii) EPCO Holdings, Inc., (iv) Enterprise Products Holdings LLC, (v) Enterprise Products OLPGP, Inc., (vi) Enterprise Products Operating LLC, (vii) Dan Duncan LLC, (viii) the respective subsidiaries and affiliates of any of the foregoing entities, (ix) any other entity which is controlled, directly or indirectly, individually, collectively or in any combination, by the Company and/or any of the foregoing entities, (x) any other entity which is controlled, directly or indirectly, individually, collectively or in any combination, by Dan L Duncan’s descendants or 

1

any trusts for any of their respective benefit, and (xi) any predecessors, subsidiaries, related entities, successors, or assigns of any of the foregoing.

4. Release of all Claims and Promise Not to Sue.  In return for the Separation Benefits, I hereby release the Company Group, the present and former employee benefit plans of each of them, the present and former directors, officers, employees, agents, unitholders, stockholders, administrators of all or any of them and all other persons acting on behalf of all or any of them, as well as any representatives, assigns or successors to these persons or entities (collectively, together with the Company Group, these persons and entities shall be referred to as the “Parties Released” and individually they may be referred to as a “Party Released”) from any and all liabilities, demands, claims, actions, expenses, fees, costs, causes of action, and suits of every kind and of whatsoever nature that may be waived and released by applicable law and that I have or may have against any of the Parties Released, whether known or unknown to me, or suspected or unsuspected, that I have or may have, whether individually or as a member of a class, arising from, based upon or in any way related to my employment or the termination of my employment with the Company or arising from any act, event or omission occurring prior to my execution of this Separation Agreement (collectively, the “Claims”).  Claims include, but are not limited to:

3

insurance policy, applicable law, and/or otherwise, in connection with any claim brought against me arising out or related to my service as an employee or officer of the Company or any Parties Released; or for any rights arising under this Separation Agreement after it becomes effective.  Excluding the Protected Disclosures/Actions (defined below in paragraph 18), I agree that I will never sue any of the Parties Released concerning any Claims released under this Separation Agreement, and I agree not to accept any monetary damages or other personal relief (including legal or equitable relief) in connection with any administrative claim or lawsuit concerning the Claims filed by any person or entity or governmental agency.

5. Waiver and Release of Age Discrimination Claims.  In addition, I acknowledge the following:

This Separation Agreement is written in a manner calculated to be understood by me and I do in fact understand the terms, conditions, and effect of this Separation Agreement;

	
b.

	
This Separation Agreement refers to rights or claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”), and I understand that this Separation Agreement applies to all Claims that I have or may have against any of the Parties Released, including, without limitations, all Claims under the ADEA or the OWBPA;

I do not waive rights or claims that may arise after the date this Separation Agreement is executed;

I waive rights or claims only in exchange for consideration in addition to anything of value to which I am already entitled;

f.

4

	
 

	
part of this Separation Agreement, for all purposes, in return for the representations and promises I am making in this Separation Agreement;

 

	
g.

	
If I have made the decision to sign this Separation Agreement before the expiration of such 21-day period, I certify that my decision to sign the release provided for in the Separation Agreement before the expiration of the 21-day period was knowing and voluntary on my part and was not induced by the Company or any other Party Released through fraud, misrepresentation, a threat to withdraw or alter the offer prior to the expiration of the 21-day period, or by providing different terms to other employees who sign a release prior to the expiration of such time period;

	
h.

	
I understand that I may revoke my acceptance of this Separation Agreement at any time within seven (7) days after the day I sign it by delivering written notice of my revocation to the Company as specified in Paragraph 20 below.  I further understand that if I do not revoke this Separation Agreement within seven (7) days following my signing of this Separation Agreement (excluding the date of my signing), it will become effective, binding, and enforceable on the day next following the end of such seven-day period; and

	
i.

	
I fully understand all of the terms of this waiver and knowingly and voluntarily enter into this Separation Agreement.

6.    Return of Company Group Property.  I have returned to the Company any and all information, documents and property (regardless of its form, such as electronic or hard copy or otherwise), that belong to any of the Company Group, including any keys, access cards, computers, cell phones, pagers, or other equipment and any Company Group records, files, data, and documents (whether on a work or personal computer, in electronic format or otherwise, and whether confidential in nature or not).  I shall immediately report to the Company any passwords for my computer or other access codes for anything associated with my employment.  I shall not delete or modify or alter any property prior to its return to the Company.

7. Assistance to the Company Group.  To the extent that the Company determines that, because of my employment with the Company, I possess relevant information relative to claims, investigations, or cases of any kind involving the Company Group, I agree to make 

5

myself available from time to time at the Company Group’s request to provide truthful information and assistance, including, but not limited to, deposition testimony, pretrial preparation, trial testimony and to respond to requests for information.  The Company acknowledges that my primary duty after my termination of employment shall be to my subsequent employer (if any).  Consequently, the Company agrees to accommodate my commitments in scheduling my assistance to the Company Group, insofar as is practicable to minimize any inconvenience to me.  The Company shall promptly reimburse me for reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses I incur in connection with the performance of any services requested pursuant to this Paragraph.

8. Confidentiality.  I acknowledge and agree that I had access to confidential information regarding the Company Group during my employment with the Company, including without limitation, information concerning the products, policies, practices, customers, pricing, costs, suppliers, methods, processes, techniques, finances, administration, employees, devices, trade secrets, and operations of the Company Group (“Confidential Information”).  I acknowledge that this Confidential Information is in fact confidential, not known outside of the Company Group’s business, and is a valuable, special and/or a unique asset of the Company Group.  Excluding the Protected Disclosures/Actions, I agree that in further consideration for the promises made in this Separation Agreement, I will maintain in the strictest confidence and will not, directly or indirectly, intentionally or inadvertently, use, publish, or otherwise disclose to any person or entity whatsoever, any of the Confidential Information of or belonging to any of the Company Group or to any agent, joint venture, contractor, customer, vendor, or supplier of any of the Company Group regardless of its form, without the prior written explicit consent of the 

6

Company.  I shall take all reasonable precautions to protect the inadvertent disclosure of Confidential Information.  These provisions do not limit or restrict any similar or related obligations that I may have undertaken in other agreements with any of the Company Group or which apply to me under any laws.  I agree that any inquiries I have regarding this Separation Agreement, my employment, benefits, or termination of employment should be directed only to Human Resources.

9. Non-Solicitation of Customers.  During the period beginning on the Separation Date and continuing through September 30, 2019, I agree not to induce or attempt to induce any commercial banks, investment banks, debt investor, equity investor, or customer of the Company or any of the Company Group with whom I had business-related contact, provided services, or received Confidential Information to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business with the Company or any of the Company Group or in any manner modify or fail to enter into any actual or potential business relation with the Company or any of the Company Group.

10. Non-Solicitation of Employees.  During the period beginning on the Separation Date and continuing through September 30, 2019, I agree not to induce or attempt to induce any employee of any member of the Company Group to cease employment with the applicable member of the Company Group and will not assist any other person or entity in such a solicitation. I and the Company agree that employees of any member of the Company Group may respond to open advertisements of employment with a future employer of mine without inducement from me. Such voluntary actions by employees of any member of the Company Group do not violate this non-solicitation provision.

7

11. No Admission.  I understand this Separation Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed or construed to be, an admission by any of the Parties Released of any wrongdoing of any kind or of any breach of any contract, law, obligation, policy, or procedure of any kind or nature.

12. Non-disparagement.  Excluding the Protected Disclosures/Actions, I agree to not disparage, criticize, condemn or impugn the business or personal reputation or character of the Company or any of the Parties Released and to not publish or make in any manner any oral, electronic or written statements about the Company or any of the Parties Released to any third party, including but not limited to, any investors, bankers and/or analysts of the Company or any of the Parties Released that are negative, untrue, malicious, obscene, threatening, harassing, intimidating or discriminatory and which are designed to harm any of the foregoing

13. Taxes.  I hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company and the Parties Released shall not be liable for any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that I may incur on account of any payment made to me under this Separation Agreement.

14. Entire Agreement.  I have carefully read and fully understand all of the terms of this Separation Agreement.   Except as specifically set forth in paragraph 4 herein, this Separation Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and fully supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, promises and understandings, written or oral, between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, except that it does not replace existing agreements (if any) or obligations I have under applicable law regarding confidentiality, non-disclosure, fiduciary duties, unfair competition, or non-solicitation issues.  I 

8

acknowledge and agree that obligations under those agreements or laws remain ongoing and in place in their entirety.

15. Representations; Modifications; Severability; Assignment.  I expressly acknowledge and agree that in connection with my decision to accept and sign this Separation Agreement, I have not relied on any statement, representations, promises, or agreements of any kind made by any of the Parties Released or by any of their agents, attorneys, or representatives, with regard to the subject matter, basis, or effect of this Separation Agreement or otherwise, other than those specifically stated in this Separation Agreement.  I understand and agree that this Separation Agreement cannot be modified except in writing and signed by both me and a duly authorized representative of the Company.  If any part of this Separation Agreement is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such unenforceable portion shall be modified by the court to be enforceable.  If modification is not possible, then such unenforceable provision will be severed from, and shall have no effect upon, the remaining portions of this Separation Agreement.  I acknowledge and agree that the Company Group and the Parties Released (other than the Company) are not parties to, but are intended beneficiaries of, this Separation Agreement.  The Parties Released may assign any of their rights or obligations under this Separation Agreement and this Separation Agreement inures to the benefit of any successor of the Parties Released.  I may not assign any of my rights or obligations under this Separation Agreement.

16. Remedies.  I agree that if, at any time, I directly or indirectly (and including for this purpose any person who acts at my direction or encouragement) breach any of the provisions contained in this Separation Agreement, I will be liable to the Parties Released for all remedies, 

9

both legal and equitable, incurred as a result of my breach plus any and all attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by a Party Released as a result of, in connection with, or related to such breach.  I acknowledge and agree that because damages may be difficult to calculate for a breach of this Separation Agreement, the Parties Released may seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce these obligations, in addition to any legal or other relief to which the Parties Released may be entitled.  Any action taken by a Party Released pursuant to this Paragraph shall not, however, negate or affect in any way this Separation Agreement or any of the obligations or terms agreed to by me in this Separation Agreement.

17.    No Waiver. No failure by either party to the Separation Agreement to give notice of any breach by the other, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Separation Agreement shall (i) be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time or (ii) preclude insistence upon strict compliance in the future.

18. Protected Disclosures/Actions.  Despite any of the obligations stated in this Separation Agreement, I acknowledge and agree that neither this Separation Agreement nor any other agreement or policy of the Company Group shall prevent me from participating in the “Protected Disclosures/Actions” discussed in this paragraph below, including providing information to or filing a report, charge or complaint, including a challenge to the validity of this Separation Agreement, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), Department of Labor (“DOL”), National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any other governmental agency, from participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by any governmental agency, or from any other protected 

10

whistleblower disclosure or action.  I understand that this Separation Agreement does not impose any condition precedent (such as prior notice to the Company or Parties Released), any penalty, or any other restriction or limitation adversely affecting my rights regarding any governmental agency disclosure, report, claim or investigation.  I further understand I may disclose my wages, hours, or other terms and conditions of employment in the exercise of any rights provided by the National Labor Relations Act.  I acknowledge and agree that I have waived in this Separation Agreement any right to recover any monetary relief or other personal remedies in any governmental agency or other action brought against the Parties Released by me or on my behalf.  However, I understand this Separation Agreement does not limit my right to receive an award for information provided under any SEC program.

19. Applicable Law/Forum.  This Separation Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with applicable provisions of ADEA and the OWBPA. To the extent that federal law does not apply, this Separation Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of Texas and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Texas without regard to any rules regarding conflict of laws.  Any dispute or claim arising under this Separation Agreement or concerning my employment with the Company or my relationship with the Company Group shall be filed with any court of competent jurisdiction in Houston, Harris County, Texas unless another forum is required by applicable law.  The parties waive any objection to this venue and waive all rights to a trial by jury and give their consent to trial by the judge for any claims between them.

11

20.    Notices.  Any notices regarding acceptance, rejection, revocation, breach, or any other matters arising under this Separation Agreement shall be sent by certified mail or another method of delivery which provides a receipt of delivery and shall be addressed as provided below.

INNERWORKINGS, INC. 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
(As Amended and Restated effective September 6, 2018)
Article 1.    Establishment, Objectives and Duration
1.1    Establishment of the Plan.  InnerWorkings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, originally established the InnerWorkings, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective on July 31, 2006.  This amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board on April 18, 2018, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders at the 2018 annual meeting.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given to them in Article 2.  The Plan permits the grant of Nonstatutory Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, and other Stock Awards.  In addition, the Plan provides the opportunity for the deferral of the payment of salary, bonuses and other forms of incentive compensation in accordance with Section 409A.
The Plan became and will remain in effect as provided in Section 1.3 hereof.  The Plan was amended and restated effective June 19, 2008 and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2008 annual meeting.  The Plan was further amended and restated effective June 18, 2009, and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2009 annual meeting.  The Plan was further amended and restated June 16, 2011, and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2011 annual meeting.  The Plan was further amended and restated effective June 21, 2012, and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2012 annual meeting.  The Plan was further amended and restated June 13, 2014, and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2014 annual meeting.  The Plan was further amended and restated June 6, 2016, and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2016 annual meeting.  
1.2    Purpose of the Plan.  The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interests of Participants to those of Company stockholders, and by providing Participants with an incentive for outstanding performance.  The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of Participants upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of its business is largely dependent.
1.3    Duration of the Plan.  The Plan will commence on the Effective Date, as described in Article 2, and will remain in effect, subject to the right of the Committee to amend or terminate the Plan at any time pursuant to Article 15, until all Shares subject to it pursuant to Article 4 have been issued or transferred according to the Plan’s provisions.  In no event may an Award be granted under the Plan on or after April 18, 2028.
Article 2.    Definitions
Whenever used in the Plan, the following terms have the meanings set forth below, and when the meaning is intended, the initial letter of the word is capitalized:
“Affiliate” means (a) for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, any corporation that is a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, and (b) for all other purposes hereunder, an entity that is (directly or indirectly) controlled by, or controls, the Company.
“Award” means, individually or collectively, a grant under this Plan to a Participant of Nonstatutory Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and other Stock Awards.
“Award Agreement” means an agreement entered into by the Company and a Participant setting forth the terms and provisions applicable to an Award or Awards granted to the Participant or the terms and provisions applicable to an election to defer compensation under Section 8.2.
“Board” or “Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
“Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in any Employment Agreement.  If there is no Employment Agreement, or if such Employment Agreement does not define “Cause,” then “Cause” shall have the meaning specified by the Committee in connection with the grant of any Award; provided, that if the Committee does not so specify, “Cause” shall mean the Participant’s:
		
	(a)
	willful neglect of or continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties with or obligations for the Company or an Affiliate in any material respect (other than any such failure resulting from his or her incapacity due to physical or mental illness); 

		
	(b)
	commission of a willful or grossly negligent act or the willful or grossly negligent omission to act that causes or is reasonably likely to cause material harm to the Company or an Affiliate; or 

		
	(c)
	commission or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any felony or any crime materially injurious to the Company or an Affiliate.

An act or omission is “willful” for this purpose if it was knowingly done, or knowingly omitted, by the Participant in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interest of the Company or an Affiliate.  Determination of Cause shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion, and may be applied retroactively if, after the Participant terminates Service, it is discovered that Cause occurred during Participant’s Service.
“Change in Control” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following:
		
	(a)
	An effective change of control pursuant to which any person or persons acting as a group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) beneficial ownership of stock of the Company representing more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the voting power of the Company’s then outstanding stock; provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur by virtue of any of the following acquisitions:  (i) by the Company or any Affiliate, (ii) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Affiliate, or (iii) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities;

		
	(b)
	Any person or persons acting as a group acquires beneficial ownership of Company stock that, together with Company stock already held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty (50%) of the total fair market value or voting power of the Company’s then outstanding 

stock.  The acquisition of Company stock by the Company in exchange for property, which reduces the number of outstanding shares and increases the percentage ownership by any person or group to more than 50% of the Company’s then outstanding stock will be treated as a Change in Control;
		
	(c)
	Individuals who constitute the Board immediately after the Effective Date (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board during any 12-month period; provided, however, that any person becoming a Director subsequent thereto whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of a majority of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for Director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director, provided that no individual initially elected or nominated as a Director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to Directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board (including without limitation any settlement thereof) shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; or 

		
	(d)

For purposes of this section, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Shares that may be granted during any calendar year to any one Participant 

who is a non-employee Director under all types of Awards available under the Plan, when taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee Director in such calendar year with respect to his or her service as a Director, shall not exceed $400,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the Fair Market Value at the time of grant for financial reporting purposes).  No Performance Shares or other performance-based Award may be granted to a Participant who is a non-employee Director.  All limits described in this Section 4.1 are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3.
4.2    Share Counting.  Any Shares subject to an Award under the Plan that, after the Effective Date, are forfeited, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated without a distribution of Shares cash or other benefit in lieu of Shares to a Participant will thereafter be deemed to be available for Awards.  In applying the immediately preceding sentence, if (i) Shares otherwise issuable or issued in respect of, or as part of, any Award of Options or SARs are withheld to cover taxes or the Exercise Price, such Shares shall be treated as having been issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan, and (ii) any Share-settled SARs are exercised, the aggregate number of Shares subject to such SARs shall be deemed issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. In addition, Shares tendered to exercise outstanding Options or other Awards or to cover applicable taxes on Awards of Options and SARs shall not be available for issuance under the Plan, but Shares tendered to cover applicable taxes on Awards other than Options and SARs shall be available for issuance under the Plan.
4.3    Adjustments in Authorized Shares.
		
	(a)

	(b)
	Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to this section may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Committee determines.

	(a)
	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to designate a Participant’s leave of absence as “Personal Leave.”  No Options shall be granted to a Participant during Personal Leave.  A Participant’s Unvested Options shall remain Unvested during such Personal Leave and the time spent on such Personal Leave shall not count towards the Vesting of such Options.  A Participant’s Vested Options that may be exercised pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof shall remain exercisable upon commencement of Personal Leave until the earlier of (i) a period of one year from the date of commencement of such Personal Leave; or (ii) the remaining exercise period of such Options.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant returns to the Company from a Personal Leave of less than one year and the Participant’s Options have not lapsed, the Options shall remain exercisable for the remaining exercise period as provided at the time of grant and subject to the conditions contained herein.

		
	(b)
	The Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive or alter the provisions of this Section 5.3 with respect to any Participant.  The waiver or alteration of such provisions with respect to any Participant shall have no effect on any other Participant.

Awards granted under the Plan shall vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date the Award is granted and no Award may provide for partial or graduated vesting beginning before the first anniversary of the date it is granted; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards that result in the issuance of an aggregate of up to five percent (5%) of the Shares available pursuant to Section 4 may be granted to any one or more Participants without respect to the minimum vesting period requirements of this Section.
Article 6.    Options
6.1    Grant of Options.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Employees, non-Employee Directors and Consultants in the number, and upon the terms, and at any time and from time to time, as determined by the Committee.
6.2    Award Agreement.  Each Option grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the Exercise Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the manner, time and rate of exercise or Vesting of the Option, subject to Section 5.4, and such other provisions as the Committee determines.  The Award Agreement will also specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NQSO.
6.3    Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price for each Share subject to an Option will be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that the Exercise Price shall in all cases be equal or greater to the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted.  
6.4    Duration of Options.  Each Option will expire at the time determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of its grant.
6.5    Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee may, but will not be required to, provide under an agreement for payments in connection with Options that are equivalent to dividends declared and paid on the Shares underlying the Options after the Options have become Vested, but prior to the date of exercise.  Such dividend equivalent agreement shall be separate and apart from the Award Agreement and shall be designed to comply separately with Section 409A, and shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying Options. 

6.6    Exercise of Options.  Options will be exercisable (in accordance with procedures established by the Company) at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee in each instance approves, which need not be the same for each Award or for each Participant.  
6.7    Payment.  The holder of an Option may exercise the Option only by delivering a written notice, or if permitted by the Committee, in its discretion and in accordance with procedures adopted by it, by delivering an electronic notice of exercise to the Company setting forth the number of Shares as to which the Option is to be exercised, together with full payment at the Exercise Price for the Shares and any withholding tax relating to the exercise of the Option.
The Exercise Price and any related withholding taxes will be payable to the Company in full:  (a) in cash, or its equivalent, in United States dollars; (b) if permitted in the governing Award Agreement, by tendering Shares owned by the Participant duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, or Shares issuable to the Participant upon exercise of the Option; (c) any combination of (a) and (b); or (d) by any other means the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan’s purposes and applicable law.  The Committee, in its discretion, may require that no Shares may be tendered until such Shares have been owned by the Participant for at least six months (or such other period determined by the Committee). 
6.8    Special Provisions for ISOs.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, the following special provisions shall apply to any Award of Incentive Stock Options: 
		
	(a)
	The Committee may award Incentive Stock Options only to Employees.

		
	(b)
	An Option will not constitute an Incentive Stock Option under this Plan to the extent it would cause the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable by the Participant for the first time during a calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) to exceed $100,000.  Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

		
	(c)
	If the Employee to whom the Incentive Stock Option is granted owns stock possessing more than ten (10%) percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company or any Affiliate, then:  (i) the Exercise Price for each Share subject to an Incentive Stock Option will be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Share on the Effective Date of the Award; and (ii) the Option will expire upon the earlier of (A) the time specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement, or (B) the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

		
	(d)
	No Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan until the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan.  If such stockholder approval is not obtained within 12 months after the Board’s adoption of the Plan, then no Options may be granted under the Plan that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options.  No Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date the Company adopted the Plan or the Company’s stockholders approved the Plan, whichever is earlier.

		
	(e)
	An Incentive Stock Option must be exercised, if at all, by the earliest of (i) the time specified in the Award Agreement, (ii) three months after the Participant’s termination of Service for a reason other than death or Disability, or (iii) twelve months after the Participant’s termination of Service for death or Disability.

		
	(f)
	An Option that is intended but fails to be an ISO shall be treated as an NQSO for purposes of the Plan.

6.9    Restrictions on Share Transferability.  The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired through exercise of an Option as it deems necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Shares are then listed or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to the Shares.
6.10    Termination of Service.  Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise and subject to Section 6.8(e):
		
	(a)
	In the event that the Service of a Participant is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause, Disability or death, Options that are exercisable at the time of such termination shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the remaining exercise period or (ii) one year from the date of such Service termination.  Options that are not exercisable at the time of such termination of Service shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination.

		
	(b)
	In the event that the Service of a Participant with the Company terminates on account of the Disability or death of the Participant, Options that are exercisable at the time of such termination shall remain exercisable until the expiration of the term of the Option.  Options that are not exercisable at the time of such termination shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination.

		
	(c)
	In the event of termination of a Participant’s Service for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire as of the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

		
	(d)
	In the event of a Participant’s termination of Service for any reason other than those described in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.10, Options that are exercisable at the time of such termination shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the remaining exercise period or (ii) 30 calendar days from the date of such termination.  Options that are not exercisable at the time of such termination shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. 

Each Option Award Agreement will set forth the extent to which the Participant has the right to exercise the Option after his or her termination of Service.  These terms will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, need not be uniform among all Options, and may reflect, among other things, distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.  However, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no additional Options will Vest after a Participant’s Service ceases or has terminated for any reason, whether such cessation or termination is lawful or unlawful.
Article 7.    Stock Appreciation Rights
7.1    Grant of SARs.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time, as determined by the Committee.  Within the limits of Article 4, the Committee will have sole discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to each Participant and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to determine the terms and conditions pertaining to SARs, subject to Section 5.4.

The grant price for any SAR shall be determined by the Committee, but the grant price shall in all cases be equal or greater to the Fair Market Value on the date the SAR is granted.

Upon exercise of a SAR with respect to a Share, a Participant will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the SAR over the grant price specified in the Award Agreement.  At the discretion of the Committee, the payment that may become due upon SAR exercise may be made in cash, in Shares or in any combination of the two.
7.6    Termination of Service.  Each SAR Award Agreement will set forth the extent to which the Participant has the right to exercise the SAR after his or her termination of Service.  These terms will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, need not be uniform among all SARs issued under the Plan, and may reflect, among other things, distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.
Article 8.    Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

Subject to Article 12, the Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units as it deems advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance objectives (Company-wide, business unit, individual, or any combination of them), time-based restrictions on vesting, and restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.  The Committee may provide that restrictions established under this Section 8.4 as to any given Award will lapse all at once or in installments.
The Company will retain the certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock in its possession until all conditions and restrictions applicable to the Shares have been satisfied.
8.5    Payment of Awards.  Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, Shares covered by each Restricted Stock grant will become freely transferable by the Participant after the last day of the applicable Restriction Period, and Share equivalent units covered by a Restricted Unit will be paid out in cash or Shares to the Participant following the last day of the applicable Restriction Period, or on the date provided in the Award Agreement.
8.6    Voting Rights.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, during the Restriction Period, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares.
8.7    Dividends and Other Distributions.  During the Restriction Period, Participants awarded Shares of Restricted Stock hereunder will be credited with regular cash dividends paid on those Shares.  Dividends on vested Shares shall be paid as soon as practicable as dividends are received by other Company stockholders.  Dividends on unvested Shares shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying Shares, and will be targeted to be paid within 2-1/2 months following the end of the calendar year in which the underlying Shares vest, but shall be paid no later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the underlying Shares vest unless otherwise deferred pursuant to Article 13. 
An Award Agreement may provide that, during the Restriction Period, Participants awarded Restricted Stock Units shall be credited with regular cash dividend equivalents paid with respect to those Share equivalent units.  Distribution of such dividend equivalents shall be made at such time as permissible under Section 409A and shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying Restricted Stock Units.
8.8    Termination of Service.  Each Award Agreement will set forth the extent to which the Participant has the right to retain unvested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units after his or her termination of Service.  These terms will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, need not be uniform among all Awards of Restricted Stock, and may reflect, among other things, distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.
Article 9.    Performance Shares
9.1    Grant of Performance Shares.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, Performance Shares may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time, as the Committee determines.  The Award of Performance Shares may be based on the Participant’s attainment of performance objectives, or the vesting of an Award of Performance Shares may be based on the Participant’s attainment of performance objectives, each as described in this Article 9, subject to Section 5.4.

9.2    Value of Performance Shares.  Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.  The Committee will set performance objectives in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value (or both) of Performance Shares that will be paid out to the Participant.  For purposes of this Article 9, the time period during which the performance objectives must be met will be called a “Performance Period” and will be set by the Committee in its discretion.
9.3    Earning of Performance Shares.  Subject to the terms of this Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Shares will be entitled to receive payout on the number and value of Performance Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives have been achieved.
9.4    Award Agreement.  Each grant of Performance Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement specifying the material terms and conditions of the Award (including the form of payment of earned Performance Shares), and such other provisions as the Committee determines.
9.5    Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Shares.  Except as provided in Article 13, the payment date of earned Performance Shares will be within the first two and one-half (2-1/2) months following the end of the later of the calendar year or tax year of the Company in which the Performance Shares are earned, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Performance Shares are earned.  The Committee will pay earned Performance Shares in the form of cash, in Shares, or in a combination of cash and Shares, as specified in the Award Agreement.  Performance Shares may be paid subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee.
9.6    Termination of Service.  Each Award Agreement will set forth the extent to which the Participant has the right to retain Performance Shares after his or her termination of Service.  These terms will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, need not be uniform among all Awards of Performance Shares, and may reflect, among other things, distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.
Article 10.    Other Stock Awards
      Subject to the terms of the Plan, other Stock Awards may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time, as the Committee determines.  
Article 11.    Performance Measures
Unless and until the Committee proposes and the Company’s stockholders approve a change in the general performance measures set forth in this Article 11, the performance measure(s) to be used for purposes of Awards (both those granted on or prior to the date of the 2016 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and those granted after such meeting) designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception will be chosen from among the following alternatives (or in any combination of such alternatives):
(a)    earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT); 
(b)    earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); 
		
	(c)
	net earnings;

		
	(d)
	operating earnings or income;

		
	(e)
	earnings growth;

		
	(f)
	net income (absolute or competitive growth rates comparative);

(g)    net income applicable to Shares;
		
	(h)
	cash flow, including operating cash flow, free cash flow, discounted cash flow return on investment, and cash flow in excess of cost of capital;

(i)    earnings per Share;
(j)    return on stockholders’ equity (absolute or peer-group comparative);
(k)    stock price (absolute or peer-group comparative);
		
	(l)
	absolute and/or relative return on common stockholders’ equity;

(m)    absolute and/or relative return on capital;
(n)    absolute and/or relative return on assets;
(o)    economic value added (income in excess of cost of capital);
		
	(p)
	customer satisfaction;

(q)    expense reduction; 
		
	(r)
	ratio of operating expenses to operating revenues;

		
	(s)
	gross revenue or revenue by pre-defined business segment (absolute or competitive growth rates comparative);

		
	(t)
	revenue backlog

		
	(u)
	margins realized on delivered services; and

		
	(v)
	total stockholder return (absolute or relative to a peer group).

The Committee may specify any reasonable definition of the performance measure(s) it uses. Such definitions may provide for reasonable adjustments and may include or exclude items, including, but not limited to: realized investment gains and losses; items determined to be unusual in nature, infrequent in occurrence or unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence; other unusual or non-recurring items; gains or losses on the sale of assets; changes in accounting principles or the application thereof; currency fluctuations, acquisitions, divestitures, or necessary financing activities; recapitalizations, including stock splits and dividends; expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; and other objective non-financial measures and non-operating items (in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with Code Section 162(m), if applicable).
The Committee will have the discretion to adjust targets set for pre-established performance objectives; however, Awards designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception may not be adjusted upward, except to the extent permitted under Code Section 162(m), to reflect accounting changes or other events.  In addition, if the Committee determines it is advisable to grant Awards that will not qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee may grant Awards that do not so qualify.
Article 12.    Beneficiary Designation
Each Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case the Participant should die before receiving any or all of his or her Plan benefits.  Each beneficiary designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, must be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and must be made during the Participant’s lifetime.  If the Participant’s designated beneficiary predeceases the Participant or no beneficiary has been designated, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death will be paid to the Participant’s estate or other entity described in the Participant’s Award Agreement.
Article 13.    Deferrals and Code Section 409A 
13.1    Purpose.  As provided in an Award Agreement, the Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer receipt of cash or Shares that would otherwise be due to him or her under the Plan or otherwise create a deferred compensation arrangement (as defined in Section 409A) in accordance with this Article 13.
13.2    Initial Deferral Elections.  The deferral of an Award or compensation otherwise payable to the Participant shall be set forth in the terms of the Award Agreement or as elected by the Participant pursuant to such rules and procedures as the Committee may establish.  Any such initial deferral election by a Participant will designate a time and form of payment and shall be made at such time as provided below:
		
	(a)
	A Participant may make a deferral election with respect to an Award (or compensation giving rise thereto) at any time in any calendar year preceding the year in which services giving rise to such compensation or Award are rendered.

		
	(b)
	In the case of the first year in which a Participant becomes eligible to receive an Award or defer compensation under the Plan (aggregating other plans of its type as defined in Section 1.409A-1(c) of the applicable regulations), the Participant may make a deferral election within 30 calendar days after the date the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan; provided, that such election may apply only with respect to the portion of the Award or compensation attributable to services to be performed subsequent to the election.

		
	(c) 
	Where the grant of an Award or payment of compensation or the vesting is conditioned upon the satisfaction of pre-established organizational or individual performance criteria relating to a performance period of at least 12 consecutive months in which the Participant performs Service, a Participant may make a deferral election no later than six months prior to the end of the applicable performance period.

		
	(d)
	Where the vesting of an Award is contingent upon the Participant’s continued Service for a period of no less than 13 months, the Participant may make a deferral election within 30 calendar days of receiving an Award. 

		
	(e)
	A Participant may make a deferral election in other circumstances and at such times as may be permitted under Section 409A.

13.3    Distribution Dates.  Any deferred compensation arrangement created under the Plan shall be distributed at such times as provided in the Award Agreement, which may be upon the earliest or latest of one or more of the following: 
		
	(a)
	a fixed date as set forth in the Award Agreement or pursuant to a Participant’s election;

		
	(b)
	the Participant’s death;

		
	(c)
	the Participant’s Disability;

		
	(d)
	a change in control (as defined in Section 409A);

		
	(e)
	an Unforeseeable Emergency, as defined in Section 409A and implemented by the Committee; 

		
	(f)
	a Participant’s termination of Service, or in the case of a Key Employee (as defined in Section 409A) six months following the Participant’s termination of Service; or 

		
	(g)
	such other events as permitted under Section 409A.

13.4    Restrictions on Distributions.  No distribution may be made pursuant to the Plan if the Committee reasonably determines that such distribution would (i) violate federal securities laws or other applicable law; (ii) be nondeductible pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code; or (iii) violate a loan covenant or similar contractual requirement of the Company causing material harm to the Company.  In any such case, distribution shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company determines such distribution would not trigger clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above.
13.5    Redeferrals.  The Company, in its discretion, may permit the Participant to make a subsequent election to delay a distribution date, or, as applicable, to change the form distribution payments, attributable to one or more events triggering a distribution, so long as (i) such election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the election is made, (ii) such election defers the distribution for a period of not less than five years from the date such distribution would otherwise have been made, and (iii) such election may not be made less than twelve (12) months prior to the date the distribution was to be made.
13.6    Termination of Deferred Compensation Arrangements.  In addition, the Company may in its discretion terminate the deferred compensation arrangements created under this Plan subject to the following:
		
	(a)
	the arrangement may be terminated within the 30 calendar days preceding, or 12 months following, a change in control (as defined in Section 409A) provided that all payments under such arrangement are distributed in full within 12 months after termination; 

		
	(b)
	the arrangement may be terminated in the Company’s discretion at any time provided that (i) all deferred compensation arrangements of similar type maintained by the Company are terminated, (ii) all payments are made at least 12 months and no more than 24 months after the termination, and (iii) the Company does not adopt a new arrangement of similar type for a period of five years following the termination of the arrangement; or

		
	(c) 
	the arrangement may be terminated within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(A) provided that the payments under the arrangement are distributed by the latest of (i) the end of the calendar year of the termination, (ii) the calendar year in which such payments are fully vested, or (iii) the first calendar year in which such payment is administratively practicable.  

Article 14.    Rights of Participants
14.1    Employment Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, but within the limits of Section 5.4 (minimum vesting requirement), to the extent a Participant’s Employment Agreement provides vesting terms with respect to an Award that are more favorable to the Participant than those set forth in the Plan or an Award Agreement, the vesting terms in such Employment Agreement shall control.
14.2    Employment and Service.  Nothing in the Plan will confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or Service of the Company or any Affiliate, or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or Service at any time.
14.3    Participation.  No Employee, Consultant or Director will have the right to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having received any Award, to receive a future Award.
Article 15.    Amendment, Modification and Termination
15.1    Amendment, Modification and Termination.  
		
	(a)
	General.  The Committee may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, modify or terminate the Plan in whole or in part.  The Committee will not, however, increase the number of Shares that may be issued or transferred to Participants under the Plan, as described in the first sentence of Section 4.1 (and subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3).

		
	(b)
	No Repricing.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards under the Plan, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards (to the extent not already exercised) and grant new Awards in substitution of them (to the extent not already exercised).  Except as provided in Sections 4.3 and 15.2, the Committee will not, however, modify any outstanding Option or SAR so as to specify a lower Exercise Price or grant price (and will not cancel an Option or SAR and substitute for it an Option or SAR with a lower Exercise Price or grant price), without the approval of the Company’s stockholders.  In addition, except as provided in Sections 4.3 and 15.2, the Committee may not cancel an outstanding Option or SAR whose Exercise Price or grant price is equal to or greater than the current Fair Market Value of a Share and substitute for it another Award or cash payment without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification of an Award will materially alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award already granted under the Plan, without the prior written consent of the Participant.

15.2    Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events.  In recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4.3) affecting the Company or its financial statements, or in recognition of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, and, whenever adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, the Committee shall, using reasonable care, make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee.  In case of an Award designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee will take care not to make an adjustment that would disqualify the Award.
15.3    Awards Previously Granted.  No termination, amendment or modification of the Plan will adversely affect in any material way any Award already granted, without the written consent of the Participant who holds the Award.
15.4    Compliance with Code Section 162(m).  Awards will comply with the requirements of Code Section 162(m), if the Committee determines that such compliance is desired with respect to an Award available for grant under the Plan.  In addition, if changes are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit greater flexibility as to any Award available under the Plan, the Committee may, subject to this Article 15, make any adjustments it deems appropriate.

Article 16.    Nontransferability of Awards.  
No Option, SAR, Performance Share, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Unit granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)).  All rights with respect to Performance Shares, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will be available during the Participant’s lifetime only to the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative.  Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or in paragraph (a) below, all Options and SARs will be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative.  The Participant’s beneficiary may exercise the Participant’s rights to the extent they are exercisable under the Plan following the Participant’s death.  The Committee may, in its discretion, require a Participant’s guardian, legal representative or beneficiary to supply it with the evidence the Committee deems necessary to establish the authority of the guardian, legal representative or beneficiary to act on behalf of the Participant.
		
	(a)
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Nonstatutory Stock Options, each Participant shall be permitted at all times to transfer any or all of the Options, or, in the event the Options have not yet been issued to the Participant, the Company shall be permitted to issue any or all of the Options, to certain trusts designated by the Participant as long as such transfer or issuance is made as a gift (i.e., a transfer for no consideration, with donative intent), whether during his or her lifetime or to take effect upon (or as a consequence of) his or her death, to his or her spouse or children.  Gifts in trust shall be deemed gifts to every beneficiary and contingent beneficiary, and so shall not be permitted under this paragraph (a) if the beneficiaries or contingent beneficiaries shall include anyone other than such spouse or children.  Transfers to a spouse or child for consideration, regardless of the amount, shall not be permitted under this Section.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article 16, under no circumstances will a Participant be permitted to transfer a stock option to a third-party financial institution without prior shareholder approval.

		
	(b)
	Any Options issued or transferred under this Article 16 shall be subject to all terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 

Article 17.    Withholding
17.1    Tax Withholding.  The Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, the amount necessary to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising under this Plan; provided, however, that the amount of tax withholding shall be limited to the maximum individual statutory tax rate in a given jurisdiction (or such lower mount as may be necessary to avoid liability award accounting, or any other accounting consequence or cost, as determined by the Committee, and in any event in accordance with Company policies). 
17.2    Share Withholding.  With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, or upon any other taxable event arising as a result of Awards granted hereunder, the Company may satisfy the withholding requirement for supplemental wages, in whole or in part, by withholding Shares having a Fair Market Value (determined on the date the Participant recognizes taxable income on the Award) no greater than the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction (or such lower mount as may be necessary to avoid liability award accounting, or any other accounting consequence or cost, as determined by the Committee, and in any event in accordance with Company policies).  The Participant may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to deliver the necessary funds to satisfy the withholding obligation to the Company, in which case there will be no reduction in the Shares otherwise distributable to the Participant. 
Article 18.    Indemnification
Each person who is or has been a member of the Committee or the Board, and any officer or Employee to whom the Committee has delegated authority under Section 3.1 or 3.2 of the Plan, will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or as a result of any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken, or failure to act, under the Plan.  Each such person will also be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all amounts paid by him or her in a settlement approved by the Company, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment, of or in a claim, action, suit or proceeding against him or her and described in the previous sentence, so long as he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the claim, action, suit or proceeding before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it.  The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which a person who is or has been a member of the Committee or the Board may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify him or her or hold him or her harmless.
Article 19.    Successors
All obligations of the Company under the Plan or any Award Agreement will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of the successor results from a direct or indirect purchase of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company or both, or a merger, consolidation, or otherwise.
Article 20.    Breach of Restrictive Covenants
An Award Agreement may provide that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant breaches any competition, nonsolicitation or nondisclosure provisions contained in the Award Agreement, whether during or after termination of Service, the Participant will forfeit:
(a)    any and all Awards granted or transferred to him or her under the Plan, including Awards that have become Vested; and
(b)    the profit the Participant has realized on the exercise of any Options, which is the difference between the Exercise Price of the Options and the applicable Fair Market Value of the Shares (the Participant may be required to repay such difference to the Company).
Article 21.    Legal Construction
21.1    Number.  Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any plural term used in this Plan includes the singular and a singular term includes the plural.

21.2    Severability.  If any provision of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
21.3    Requirements of Law.  The granting of Awards and the issuance of Share or cash payouts under the Plan will be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to any approvals by governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
21.4    Securities Law Compliance.  As to any individual who is, on the relevant date, an officer, director or more than ten percent beneficial owner of any class of the Company’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, all as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or any successor rule.  To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it will be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
If at any time the Committee determines that exercising an Option or SAR or issuing Shares pursuant to an Award would violate applicable securities laws, the Option or SAR will not be exercisable, and the Company will not be required to issue Shares.  The Company may require a Participant to make written representations it deems necessary or desirable to comply with applicable securities laws.  No person who acquires Shares under the Plan may sell the Shares, unless he or she makes the offer and sale pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Exchange Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
21.5    Awards to Foreign Nationals and Employees Outside the United States.  To the extent the Committee deems it necessary, appropriate or desirable to comply with foreign law or practice and to further the purposes of this Plan, the Committee may, without amending the Plan, (i) establish rules applicable to Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or are employed outside the United States, or both, including rules that differ from those set forth in this Plan, and (ii) grant Awards to such Participants in accordance with those rules.
21.6    Unfunded Status of the Plan.  The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.  With respect to any payments or deliveries of Shares not yet made to a Participant by the Company, the Participant’s rights are no greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.  The Committee may authorize the establishment of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan, so long as the arrangement does not cause the Plan to lose its legal status as an unfunded plan.
21.7    Governing Law.  To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan and all agreements hereunder will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.  The jurisdiction and venue for any disputes arising under, or any action brought to enforce (or otherwise relating to), the Plan will be exclusively in the courts in the State of Illinois, County of Cook, including the Federal Courts located therein (should Federal jurisdiction exist).
21.8    Electronic Delivery and Evidence of Award.  The Company may deliver by email or other electronic means (including posting on a web site maintained by the Company or by a third party) all documents relating to the Plan or any Award hereunder (including, without limitation, any Award Agreement and prospectus required by the SEC) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its securities holders (including, without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements).  In addition, evidence of an Award may be in electronic form, may be limited to notation on the books and records of the Company and, with the approval of the Board, need not be signed by a representative of the Company or a Participant.  Any Shares that become deliverable to the Participant pursuant to the Plan may be issued in certificate form in the name of the Participant or in book entry form in the name of the Participant.
21.9    No Limitation on Rights of the Company.  The grant of the Award does not and will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure, or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
21.10    Participant to Have No Rights as a Stockholder.  Before the date as of which he or she is recorded on the books of the Company as the holder of any Shares underlying an Award, a Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to those Shares.
21.11    Compensation Recovery Policy.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, all Awards granted or paid under the Plan will be subject to recoupment by the Company pursuant to the Company’s compensation clawback or recovery policy.
