ARTICLE III
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

3.1    Shares Available for Awards. Subject to the provisions of this Article 3.1, and adjustment as provided in Section 12.7, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock upon which options to purchase shares of Common Stock (“Stock Option”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) or awards of Common Stock or share units (“Stock Awards”), herein collectively called “Equity Awards”) may be issued under the Plan is: 26,650,000 Stock Options, and 17,885,906 Stock Awards.  These amounts shall be reduced less one (1) share of Common Stock for every one (1) share that was subject to a Stock Option or SAR granted after February 2, 2019 and prior to the effective date of the Plan under any Prior Plan, and 1.63 shares of Common Stock for every one (1) share that was subject to an award other than a Stock Option or SAR granted after February 2, 2019 and prior to the effective date of the Plan under any Prior Plan.  The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan will be reduced by one (1) share of Common Stock for each share subject to a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right and 1.49 shares of Common Stock for each share subject to a Stock Award. The shares of Common Stock available for delivery under this Plan may consist of Common Stock held in treasury, authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or shares of Common Stock purchased or held by the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of the Plan, or shares available from the Prior Plan, or any combination thereof. After the effective date of the Plan, no other awards may be granted under any Prior Plan.

3.2    Shares Again Available.  If (i) any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award are forfeited or cancelled, or any such Award terminates, lapses, or expires,  is settled without full delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award, or (ii) after February 2, 2019, any shares of Common Stock subject to an award under any Prior Plan are forfeited or cancelled, or any such award terminates, lapses, or expires, is settled without full delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the award, then in each such case the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award or award under any Prior Plan will, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination, lapse, cancellation, or expiration be added to the shares available for issuance under the Plan.  In the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from an Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or, after February 2, 2019, an award other than an option or stock appreciation right under any Prior Plan are satisfied by the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, the shares so tendered or withheld shall be added to the shares available for Awards under the Plan.  Each share of Common Stock that again becomes available for an Award as provided in this Section 3.2 will increase the total number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under Section 3.1 by (i) 1 share of Common Stock if that share of Common Stock was subject to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan or a stock option or stock appreciation right under a Prior Plan, and (ii) 1.49 shares of Common Stock if that share of Common Stock was subject to a Stock Award or a stock award under a Prior Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of Common Stock (a) tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option, or after February 2, 2019, an option under any Prior Plan, (b) not issued on the net settlement or net exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights, or after February 2, 2019, stock appreciation rights under any Prior Plan, (c) delivered by a Participant or withheld by the Company to pay withholding taxes related to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or, after February 2, 2019, options or stock appreciation rights under a Prior Plan, or (d) reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of Options or, after February 2, 2019, options under any Prior Plan, will not again become available for issuance and will not be added to the shares authorized for grant under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, Option reloading is not permitted under the Plan.

Shares of Common stock issued in connection with Awards that are assumed, converted or substituted pursuant to an event described in Section 12.8 or assumed or issued in substitution of awards to employees of companies acquired by the Company will not reduce the maximum limitation specified in Section 3.1 (nor shall shares subject to a substitute award be added to the shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above).  Further, where the number of shares of Common stock subject to an Award is variable on the Date of Grant, the number of shares to be counted against the shares authorized under the Plan prior to earning the Award will be the maximum number of shares that could be received under the Award. 

3.3    Individual Award Limitations on Equity Awards. Subject to the provisions of Sections 12.7 and 12.8, the following individual Award limits will apply:

		
	(a)
	During the term of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for grant as Incentive Stock Options under the Plan will not exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 3.1.

		
	(b)
	During any fiscal year no Participant will be granted Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right Awards for collectively more than 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and Performance Awards with a payout, at maximum, of more than 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. 

ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION

The Plan will be administered by, or under the direction of the Committee.  The Committee will administer the Plan so as to comply at all times with the Exchange Act and the Code, as applicable, and will otherwise have plenary authority to interpret the Plan and to make all determinations specified in or permitted by the Plan or deemed necessary or desirable for its administration or for the conduct of the Committee’s business (“Determinations”). All interpretations and Determinations of the Committee may be made on an individual or group basis, and will be final, conclusive, and binding on all interested parties. The Committee may delegate, to the fullest extent permitted by law, its responsibilities under the Plan to persons other than its members, subject to such terms and conditions as it may determine, other than the making of grants and awards under the Plan to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. With respect to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan or any action by the Committee or its delegate fails to so comply, such provision or action will, without further action by any person, be deemed to be automatically amended to the extent necessary to effect compliance with Rule 16b-3, provided; however, that if such provision or action cannot be amended to effect such compliance, such provision or action will be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the relevant authority. Each Award to a Participant subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act under this Plan will be deemed issued subject to the foregoing qualification. Further, except as otherwise specifically provided in an Award Notice or Determinations, Awards under this Plan are generally intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the Plan will be interpreted accordingly.

ARTICLE V
ELIGIBILITY

Under the Plan: (i) Awards may be made to such Associates, including officers and Associate Directors of the Company, as the Committee may determine; and (ii) Equity Awards will be made pursuant to Article X below to individuals who serve as Non-Associate Directors of the Company (including any former Associate Participant). In determining the Associate Participants who are to receive Awards and the number of shares covered by any Equity Award, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by the Associate Participants, their contributions to the Company’s success, their position levels and salaries, and such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion, may consider relevant in light of the purposes of the Plan.

ARTICLE VI
STOCK OPTIONS AND
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

6.1    Terms and Conditions of Stock Options.  The Committee may grant Stock Options alone or in addition to other Awards granted under this Plan to any Associate Participant.  The Committee will determine (i) whether each Stock Option will be granted as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non‐Qualified Stock Option, and (ii) the provisions, terms and conditions of each Stock Option including, but not limited to, the vesting schedule, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option, the exercise price of the Stock Option, the period during which the Stock Option may be exercised, repurchase provisions, forfeiture provisions, methods for payment of the exercise price of 

the Stock Option, acceleration of vesting, if any, in connection with certain termination events, and all other terms and conditions of the Stock Option, subject to the following:
		
	(a)
	Form of Stock Option Grant.  Each Stock Option granted under the Plan will be evidenced by an Award Notice (which need not be the same for each recipient of a Stock Option Award) that is not inconsistent with the Plan, including any provisions that may be necessary to assure that any Stock Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option will comply with section 422 of the Code. The Award Notice evidencing the Stock Option grant will be delivered to the recipient with a copy of the Plan, and other relevant Stock Option documents, within a reasonable time after the Date of Grant. 

		
	(b)
	Exercise Period.  Unless a shorter period is otherwise provided in an Award Notice, each Stock Option will expire and all rights to purchase shares of Common Stock thereunder will cease ten years after the Date of Grant. 

		
	(c)
	Exercise Price and Terms.  The exercise price of a Stock Option will be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant of the Stock Option and during its term the Stock Option will be exercisable only on the event or events determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Notice.

		
	(d)
	Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.  The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Date of Grant of a Stock Option) of Common Stock that any Associate is first eligible to purchase during any calendar year by exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and by exercise of incentive stock options (within the meaning of section 422 of the Code) granted under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or a Subsidiary will not exceed $100,000.  If the Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which all incentive stock options described in the preceding sentence held by any one Participant are exercisable for the first time by such Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Stock Options that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options on the Date of Grant thereof for the first $100,000 worth of shares of Common Stock to become exercisable in such year will be considered to constitute incentive stock options within the meaning of section 422 of the Code and the Stock Options that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options on the Date of Grant thereof for the shares of Common Stock in the amount in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will be treated as Non‐Qualified Stock Options.  If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an Associate that owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (i) the exercise price of the Incentive Stock Option will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option, and (ii) the Incentive Stock Option will expire and all rights to purchase shares of Common Stock thereunder will cease at the time period specified in the grant or award agreement after the Date of Grant. If the Code or the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the effective date of the Plan to provide for a different rules and/or limits governing Incentive Stock Options than those described in this Section 6.1(d), such different rules and/or limit will be incorporated herein and will apply to any Incentive Stock Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

		
	(e)
	Dividend and Dividend Equivalents.  No grant of a Stock Option may provide for dividends, dividend equivalents, or other similar distributions to be paid in connection with the exercise of the Stock Option. 

		
	(f)
	Extension of the Term of a Stock Option.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if, by its terms, a Stock Option, other than an Incentive Stock Option, would expire when trading in shares of Common Stock is otherwise prohibited by law or by the Company’s insider trading policy, as such may be amended from time to time, the term of the Stock Option will be automatically extended until the close of trading on the 30th Trading Date following the expiration of any such prohibition. 

		
	(g)
	Vesting Period.  The Committee will determine the types of Stock Options made and any terms and conditions relating to the Stock Options as it considers appropriate, including any vesting conditions necessary to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no portion of a Stock Option may be scheduled to vest in less than one year from the date of grant, provided; however, that up to five percent (5%) of the shares available for award under Section 3.1 may be granted as Equity Awards that vest in whole in less than one year in connection with limited situations such as new hires, Retirements, and similar situations. 

6.2    Exercise of Stock Options.
		
	(a)
	Notice.  Stock Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company, or its designee, of notice, in such form as is permitted by the Committee or its designee, stating the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased, the method of payment, and such other matters as may be considered appropriate by the Company in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Option, together with payment in full of the exercise price for the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased.   The effective date of exercise of a Stock Option (which in no event, may be beyond the expiration date of the Stock Option) will be, unless otherwise provided in Determinations adopted by the Committee:

		
	(i)
	in connection with a sell order for the underlying stock that is a “Sell-to-Cover Order,” a “Same-Day-Sale Exercise Order,” a Limit Order, a “Good-till” Cancelled Order or the like, the date on which such sell order is actually executed.

		
	(ii)
	in connection with an “Exercise and Hold” (cash exercise) transaction, the date the requisite funds are received by the Company at its home office in Plano, Texas or such other location as the Company may designate, or by a third party duly designated by the Company at the offices of such third party, in the manner determined by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Talent Officer, or their respective successors by title or office.

Provided, however, that if the date of exercise, as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6.2(a), including any Determinations adopted by the Committee, is not a Trading Date, the date of exercise will be deemed to be the next Trading Date.  Further, if an exercise instruction is received after the close of the NYSE on a particular day, it will be deemed received as of the opening of the next Trading Date. If a Stock Option is granted in tandem with any other Equity Award, there will be surrendered and cancelled from the related Equity Award at the time of exercise of the Stock Option, in lieu of exercise pursuant to the related Equity Award, that number of shares of Common Stock as equals the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the tandem Stock Option will have been exercised.

		
	(b)
	Early Exercise.  An Award Notice may, but need not, include a provision that permits the Participant to elect at any time while an Associate, to exercise all or any part of the Stock Option before full vesting of the Stock Option, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(g).  Any unvested shares of Common Stock received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Subsidiary or to any other restriction the Committee determines to be appropriate. 

		
	 (c)
	Payment.  Payment equal to the aggregate exercise price for the shares subject to a Stock Option and for which notice of exercise has been provided by an Associate Participant, including an Associate Participant that has terminated Employment, to the Company, along with any applicable withholding taxes as described in Section 12.11, will be tendered in full, with the notice of exercise, in cash (by check) or, unless otherwise prohibited in a specific Award Notice or by law or applicable regulation, by: 

		
	(i)
	the actual or constructive transfer to the Company of nonforfeitable, non-restricted shares of Common Stock that have been owned by the Participant for more than six months, or such shorter time as may be permitted by applicable law, prior to the date of exercise;

		
	(ii)
	using the net proceeds (after paying all selling fees) from the sale of some (the “Sell-to-Cover Exercise Method”) or all (the “Same-Day-Sale Exercise Method”), of the shares of Common Stock received on the exercise of the Stock Option, or from any arrangement pursuant to which an Associate Participant, including those Associate Participants who have terminated Employment, irrevocably instructs a broker-dealer to sell a sufficient portion of such shares to pay the exercise price and any withholding obligation, as described in Section 12.11, and related fees thereon and deliver the sale proceeds directly to the Company.  The value of the shares of Common Stock used in payment of the exercise price under the Sell-to-Cover Exercise Method or the Same-Day-Sale Exercise Method will be the price at which the Common Stock was sold by the broker-dealer functioning under the Sell-to-Cover Exercise Method or the Same-Day-Sale Exercise Method on the effective date of exercise as described in Section 6.2(a). The amount of the proceeds to be delivered to the Company by the broker-dealer functioning under the Sell-to-Cover Exercise Method or the Same-Day-Sale Exercise Method will be credited to the Common Stock account of the Company as consideration for the shares of Common Stock to be issued in accordance with the Sell-to-Cover Exercise or the Same-Day-Sale Exercise Method;   

		
	(i)
	by surrender for cancellation of shares of Common Stock at the Fair Market Value per share at the time of exercise under a “net exercise” arrangement; provided, however, that use of a “net exercise” arrangement cannot result in the Stock Option being settled either in whole or in part for cash payable to the Associate Participant; 

		
	(ii)
	in accordance with such other procedures or in such other forms as the Committee will from time to time determine; or 

		
	(vi)
	any combination of the above.

On payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company will cause certificates for the Common Stock then being purchased to be delivered as directed by the Associate Participant (or the person exercising the Associate Participant's Stock Option in the event of his death) at its principal business office promptly after the Exercise Date.  If the Associate Participant has exercised an Incentive Stock Option, the Company may at its option retain physical possession of the certificate evidencing the shares acquired upon exercise until the expiration of the holding periods described in section 422(a)(1) of the Code.  The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock will, however, be subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee will determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the Stock Option or the Common Stock upon any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 
		
	6.3
	Acquisitions and Other Transactions.  The Committee may, from time to time, assume outstanding options or stock appreciation rights granted by another entity, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other entity or otherwise, by either (i) granting a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, under the Plan in replacement of or in substitution for the option or stock appreciation right assumed by the Company, or (ii) treating the assumed option or stock appreciation right as if it had been granted under the Plan if the terms of such assumed option could be applied to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, granted under the Plan.  Such assumption will be permissible if the holder of the assumed option would have been eligible to be granted a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation right, as applicable, hereunder if the other entity had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant.  The Committee also may grant Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan in settlement of or substitution for outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, or obligations to grant future options in connection with the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Subsidiary whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 6.1 

or 6.4(c), in the case of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right issued or assumed pursuant to this Section 6.1(e), the exercise price for the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be determined in accordance with the principles of Sections 424(a) and 409A of the Code, and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. 
Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares authorized for grant under the Plan (and shares subject to such Awards shall not be added to the shares available for Awards under the Plan); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Associates or Directors prior to such acquisition or combination.

		
	6.4
	Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights alone or in tandem with other Awards granted under this Plan to any Associate.  The Committee will determine the provisions, terms and conditions of each Stock Appreciation Right including, but not limited to, the vesting schedule, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right, the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right, the period during which the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised, repurchase provisions, forfeiture provisions, acceleration of vesting, if any, in connection with certain termination events, and all other terms and conditions of the Stock Appreciation Right, subject to the following:

		
	(a)
	Form of Stock Appreciation Right. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will be evidenced by an Award Notice (which need not be the same for each recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right) that is not inconsistent with the Plan.  The award Notice evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right grant will be delivered to the recipient with a copy of the Plan, and other relevant Stock Appreciation Right documents, within a reasonable time after the Date of Grant.

		
	(b)
	Exercise Period. Unless a shorter period is otherwise provided in an Award Notice, each Stock Appreciation Right will expire and all rights thereunder will cease ten years after the Date of Grant.

		
	(c)
	Exercise Price and Terms.  The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right will be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right and during its term the Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable only on the events determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Notice.

		
	(d)
	Dividend and Dividend Equivalents.  No grant of a Stock Appreciation Right may provide for dividends, dividend equivalents, or other similar distributions to be paid in connection with the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

		
	(e)
	Exercise.  The grant of the Stock Appreciation Right will provide that the holder will be paid for the value of the Stock Appreciation Right in shares of Common Stock or, at the discretion of the Committee or is designee, cash.  In the event of the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right will receive that number of shares of Common Stock, or, at the discretion of the Committee or is designee, cash equal to the value of such shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the value obtained by multiplying (i) either (A) in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right issued in tandem with a Stock Option, the difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price per share of the related Stock Option, or (B) in the case of a stand-alone Stock Appreciation Right, the difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation 

Right by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may place a ceiling on the amount payable upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, but any such limitation will be specified at the time that the Stock Appreciation Right is granted and stated in the Award Notice.

		
	(f)
	Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.  A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option (i) may be exercised at, and only at, the times and to the extent the related Incentive Stock Option is exercisable, (ii) will expire upon the termination or expiration of the related Incentive Stock Option, (iii) may not result in a Participant realizing more than 100% of the difference between the exercise price of the related Incentive Stock Option and the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the related Incentive Stock Option at the time the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, and (iv) may be exercised at, and only at, such times as the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the related Incentive Stock Option exceeds the exercise price of the related Incentive Stock Option.  A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Non-Qualified Stock Option will be exercisable as provided by the Committee and will have such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.  A Stock Appreciation Right may be transferred at, and only at, the times and to the extent the related Stock Option is transferable.  If a Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with any other Equity Award, there will be surrendered and cancelled from the related Equity Award at the time of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, in lieu of exercise pursuant to the related Equity Award, that number of shares of Common Stock as will equal the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the tandem Stock Appreciation Right will have been exercised.

		
	(g)
	Certain Limitations on Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.  A stand-alone Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable as provided by the Committee and will have such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of grant and include in the Award Notice.  A stand-alone Stock Appreciation Right is subject to such acceleration of vesting rights as the Committee may determine and is subject to provisions of Section 6.5 of this Plan with respect to any exercise rights an Associate Participant may have following a termination of Employment.

		
	(h)
	Limited Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights which will become exercisable only upon the occurrence of such events as the Committee may designate at the time of grant and include in the Award Notice.  Such a Stock Appreciation Right may be issued either as a stand-alone Stock Appreciation Right or in tandem with a Stock Option.  

		
	(i)
	Method of Exercise.  Subject to the conditions of this Section 6.3 and such administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised only by delivery to the Company, or its designee, of notice, in such form as is permitted by the Committee or its designee, stating the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is to be exercised. Unless otherwise provided in Determinations adopted by the Committee, the effective date of exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be the date of receipt of the written notice by the Company at its home office in Plano, Texas or such other location as the Company may designate, or by a third party duly designated by the Company, in the manner determined by the Company or its designee.  If the date of receipt of written notice of exercise is not a Trading Date, the date of exercise will be deemed to be the next Trading Date.  Further, if notice of exercise is received after the close of the NYSE on a particular day it will be deemed received as of the opening of the next Trading Date. 

		
	(j)
	Extension of the Term of a Stock Appreciation Right.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if, by its terms, a Stock Appreciation Right would expire when trading in shares of Common Stock is otherwise prohibited by law or by the Company’s insider trading policy, as such may be amended from time to time, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right will be automatically extended until the close of trading on the 30th Trading Date following the expiration of any such prohibition.

		
	(k)
	Award Vesting Limitations.  The Committee will determine the types of Stock Appreciation Rights made and any terms and conditions relating to the Stock Appreciation Rights as it considers appropriate, including any vesting conditions necessary to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no portion of a Stock Appreciation Right may be scheduled to vest in less than one year from the date of grant, provided; however, that up to five percent (5%) of the shares available for award under Section 3.1 may be granted as Equity Awards that vest in whole in less than one year in connection with limited situations such as new hires, Retirements, and similar situations.

6.5    Exercise of a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right Following Termination of Employment. Unless (i) otherwise modified pursuant to Determinations adopted by the Committee, or (ii) a more generous post-termination exercise period is otherwise provided with respect to a particular termination event listed in this Section 6.5 (A) in any written agreement between an Associate Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary that may at any time be in effect, or (B) in the absence of an agreement between an Associate Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary (as determined by the Committee, or its designee) that may at any time be in effect, in an Award Notice, a participant will have the right to exercise a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right following a termination of Employment as follows:

		
	(a)
	Termination of Employment with Cause.  If the Associate Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated for Cause, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.4(a), all Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted to the Associate Participant, whether vested, exercisable or otherwise, will immediately expire, terminate, or be forfeited and cancelled as of the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment.

		
	(b)
	Voluntary Termination of Employment and Termination of Employment Without Cause.  If an Associate Participant voluntarily terminates employment with the Company, or the Associate Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated involuntarily without Cause, and the termination of the Associate Participant’s Employment would not otherwise qualify as a Retirement, any vested but unexercised Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will continue to be exercisable as set forth in the applicable Award Notice.  Any Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that are not vested or exercisable on the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment other than for Cause, will immediately expire, terminate, or be forfeited and cancelled as of the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Associate Participant’s employment terminates due to an involuntary termination of employment without cause and (i) the Associate Participant is a party to any form of executive termination pay agreement between the Associate and the Corporation that does not provide for any period following a termination of employment in which the Associate Participant may exercise any vested but unexercised Stock Option, and (ii) the termination of the Associate Participant’s Employment would not otherwise qualify as a Retirement, or a termination as a result of a unit closing, job restructuring, position elimination, reduction in force, or mutual consent as determined by the Committee, or its designee, and as defined in the Company’s then existing and effective Separation Pay Plan, any vested but unexercised Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will continue to be exercisable as set forth in the applicable Award Notice. 

		
	(c)
	Termination of Employment as a Result of Disability or Retirement.  If the Associate Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated as a result of the Associate Participant’s Disability or Retirement, any vested, but unexercised Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will continue to be exercisable through the earlier of (i) five (5) years following the effective date of such termination of the Associate Participant’s Employment, and (ii) the Award’s original expiration or termination date.  Any Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that are not vested or exercisable on the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment as result of the Associate Participant’s Disability or Retirement will immediately expire, terminate, or be forfeited and cancelled as of the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment.

		
	(d)
	Termination of Employment as a Result of Death. If the Associate Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated as a result of the Associate Participant’s death, any vested, but unexercised Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will continue to be exercisable by the Associate Participant’s Beneficiary through the earlier of (i) five (5) years following the effective date of such termination of the Associate Participant’s Employment, and (ii) the Award’s original expiration or termination date.  Any Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that are not vested or exercisable on the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment as result of the Associate Participant’s death will immediately expire, terminate, or be forfeited and cancelled as of the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment.

		
	(e)
	Termination of Employment as a Result of a Unit Closing, Job Restructuring, Job Elimination, Reduction in Force, or Mutual Consent. If the Associate Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated (i) as a result of unit closing, job restructuring, position elimination, reduction in force, or mutual consent as determined by the Committee, or its designee, and as defined in the Company’s then existing and effective Separation Pay Plan, and (ii) the termination of the Associate Participant’s Employment would not otherwise qualify as a Retirement, any vested but unexercised Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will continue to be exercisable through the earlier of (x) twelve (12) months following the effective date of the termination of the Associate Participant’s Employment, and (y) the Award’s original expiration or termination date.  Any Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that are not vested or exercisable on the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment as result of a unit closing, job restructuring or reduction in force will immediately expire, terminate, or be forfeited and cancelled as of the effective date of the Associate Participant’s termination of Employment. 

6.6    Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, the Committee or its designee may, at or after the date of grant, accelerate or waive any conditions to the exercisability of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan, and may permit all or any portion of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right to be exercised following a Participant’s termination of employment for any reason on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Committee or its designee may determine for a period up to and including, but not beyond, the Award’s original expiration or termination date.  

ARTICLE VII
RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
7.1    In General.  The Committee may grant a Stock Award (including any associated dividend equivalent right or share unit equal in value to such Stock Award) to Associate Participants on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. 
7.2    Terms and Conditions.  The Committee will determine the types of Stock Awards made, the number of shares, share units, or dividend equivalent rights covered by such awards, and any other terms and conditions relating to the Stock Awards as it considers appropriate, including any vesting conditions necessary to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no portion of a Stock Award may be scheduled to vest in less than one year from the date of grant, provided; however, that up to five percent (5%) of the shares available for award under Section 3.1 may be granted as Equity Awards that vest in whole in less than one year in connection with limited situations such as new hires, Retirement, and similar situations. 

7.3    Restricted Stock Terms and Conditions.  Restricted Stock will, at the Company’s discretion, be represented (i) by a stock certificate registered in the name of the Associate Participant granted such Restricted Stock, or (ii) in any acceptable uncertificated form via book entry.  Such Associate Participant will have the right to enjoy all shareholder rights during the any applicable restriction period except that:

(a)           The Participant will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate until the Restriction Period will have expired.

(b)           The Company may either issue shares subject to such restrictive legends and/or stop-transfer instructions as it considers appropriate or provide for retention of custody of the Common Stock during the Restriction Period.

(c)           Subject to Section 12.10, the Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Common Stock during the Restriction Period.

(d)           A breach of the terms and conditions established by the Committee with respect to the Restricted Stock will cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock.

(e)           Subject to Section 8.8, dividends payable in cash or in shares of stock or otherwise shall be withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account.  At the discretion of the Committee, interest may be paid on the amount of cash dividends withheld, including cash dividends on stock dividends, at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee.  However, any such interest, dividends, or dividend equivalent payment shall only be made on vested awards.  

Provided, however, in lieu of the foregoing, the Committee may provide that no shares of Common Stock be issued until the Restriction Period is over and further provide that the shares of Common Stock issued after the Restriction Period has been completed, be issued in escrow and/or be legended and that the Common Stock be subject to restrictions including the forfeiture of all or a part of the shares.

7.4    Payment for Restricted Stock.  A Participant will not be required to make any payment for Restricted Stock unless the Committee so requires.

7.5    Forfeiture Provisions.  Subject to Section 6.5, in the event a Participant terminates Employment during a Restriction Period for the Participant’s Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, such Awards to the extent not otherwise vested will be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide for proration or full payout in the event of (a) death, (b) Disability, or (c) Retirement. Any Restricted Stock Unit that is not, in all cases, due and payable not later than the 15th day of the third month following the calendar year, or if later, the Company’s fiscal year, in which the Restricted Stock Unit ceases to be subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning Section 409A of the Code, will be designed to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE VIII
PERFORMANCE AWARDS

		
	8.1
	In General.  An Award granted under the Plan may be in the form of a Performance Award.

		
	8.2
	Establishment of Performance Goals.  Performance Goals applicable to a Performance Award will be established by the Committee on or before the Date of Grant and not more than a reasonable period of time after the beginning of the relevant Performance Period.  Such Performance Goals may include or be based upon any one or more Performance Measures.  Performance Goals may be based on the Company’s consolidated results or the results of any segment or other subset of the Company’s business, and may be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or any other management accounting principle.  The Committee, or its designee, may establish any special adjustments that will be applied in calculating whether the Performance Measure has been met including, but not limited to, taking into consideration the effect of any restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, unusual, infrequently occurring, or non-recurring events, accounting changes, divestitures, or acquisitions, changes in tax or accounting principles, foreign exchange gains and losses, a change in the fiscal year of the Company, or any event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or any Subsidiary, division, business segment or business unit or not within the reasonable control of management. At any time prior to distribution of a Performance Award, the Committee may modify the Performance Goals applicable to such Performance Award if it determines that unforeseen events have occurred which have had a substantial effect on the Performance Goals and such unforeseen events would otherwise make application of the original Performance Goals unfair.

		
	8.3
	Levels of Performance Required to Earn Performance Awards.  At or about the same time that Performance Goals are established for a Performance Period applicable to a Performance Award, the Committee will in its absolute discretion establish the percentage of the Performance Award granted for such Performance Period which will be earned by the Associate Participant for various levels of performance measured in relation to achievement of Performance Goal for such Performance Period. 

		
	8.4
	Other Restrictions.  The Committee will determine any other terms and conditions applicable to any Performance Award, including any vesting conditions or restrictions on the delivery of Common Stock payable in connection with the Performance Award and restrictions that could result in the future forfeiture of all or part of any Common Stock earned. The Committee may provide that shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a Performance Award be held in escrow and/or legended.  Unless otherwise provided in Determinations adopted by the Committee (i) a Performance Award, other than a restricted Equity Award, may not vest, or be deemed to be earned, in whole in less than three years from the date of grant (though portions of an individual award may vest or be deemed to be earned in equal annual installments over a period of not less than three years), and (ii) a Performance Award to be paid out as a restricted Equity Award may not have a vesting period of less than one year; provided; however, that up to five percent (5%) of the shares available for award under Section 3.1 may be granted as Equity Awards that vest in whole in less than one year in connection with limited situations such as new hires, Retirements, and similar situations.   

		
	8.5
	Notification to Associate Participants.  Promptly after the Committee has established or modified the Performance Goal with respect to a Performance Award, the Associate Participant will be provided with a written Award Notice that will include the terms of the Performance Award including the Performance Goal so established or modified.

		
	8.6
	Measurement of Performance Against Performance Goals.  The Committee will, as soon as practicable after the close of a Performance Period, determine:

		
	(a)
	the extent to which the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have been achieved; and

		
	(b)
	the percentage of the Performance Awards earned as a result.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent the applicable Award Notice permits, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the percentage of any Performance Award otherwise determined for a Performance Period, and such reduced percentage will be the amount earned by the Associate Participant. All determinations of the Committee will be absolute and final as to the facts and conclusions therein made and are binding on all parties. As promptly as practicable after the Committee has made the foregoing determination, each Associate Participant who has earned Performance Award will be notified thereof. For all purposes of this Plan, notice will be deemed to have been given the date action is taken by the Committee making the determination.  Subject to Section 12.10, an Associate Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of a Performance Awards during the Performance Period.

8.7    Treatment of Performance Awards Earned.  Upon the Committee’s determination that a percentage of any Performance Award has been earned for a Performance Period, Associate Participants to whom such earned Performance Award has been granted and who have been (or were) in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof continuously from the Date of Grant, will be entitled, subject to the other conditions of this Plan, to payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of their Performance Awards as set forth the Award Notice.  Such terms and conditions may permit or require the payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 12.11.  Subject to Section 8.9, Performance Awards will under no circumstances become earned or have any value whatsoever for any Associate Participant who is not in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries continuously during the entire Performance Period for which such Performance Award was granted.

8.8    Distribution.  Distributions payable pursuant to Section 8.7 will be made, subject to Section 12.15, as soon as practicable after the Committee determines the Performance Goal has been achieved, but in no event more than 21⁄2 

months after the end of the fiscal year in which the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award ends.  Any dividend equivalents credited in connection with a Performance Award will be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the Performance Award to which the dividend equivalents relate.

8.9    Non-Disqualifying Termination of Employment.  The only exceptions to the requirement of continuous Employment during a Performance Period for distribution of an amount earned under a Performance Award are termination of an Associate Participant’s Employment by reason of death (in which event the Performance Award may be transferable by will or the laws of descent and distribution only to such Participant’s Beneficiary designated to receive the Performance Award or to the Participant’s applicable legal representatives, heirs or legatees), Disability, Retirement, involuntary termination of Employment other than for Cause (including an involuntary termination of Employment as a result of a unit closing, job restructuring, position elimination or reduction in force as determined by the Committee or its designee and as defined in the Company’s then existing and effective Separation Pay Plan), and such other events as may be specified in Determinations adopted by the Committee.  In such instance, a distribution of the Performance Award will be made pursuant to the terms of the Performance Award and included in the Award Notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Termination of Employment in connection with a Change in Control shall be subject to the terms of Article IX.   

8.10    Cash Incentive Awards.  Performance Awards granted by the Committee under this Article VIII may take the form of Cash Incentive Awards.  Cash Incentive Awards may be granted by the Committee to Associate Participants on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, but in all instances in compliance with the requirements of this Article VIII and section 409A of the Code or any exemptions therefrom.  A Participant may not be granted a Cash Incentive Award in any one calendar year the value of which exceeds the product of $2,000,000 and the number of years in the applicable Performance Period.

ARTICLE IX
CHANGE IN CONTROL

9.1    Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII the following definitions will apply: 

		
	(a)
	Change in Control. “Change in Control” will, unless modified pursuant to Determinations adopted by the Committee, generally have the meaning specified in Section 409A of the Code, and any regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and will, subject to any additional requirements of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-(3)(i)(5)(v), mean:

		
	(i)
	Change of Ownership. A Change of ownership occurs on the date that a person or persons acting as a group acquires ownership of stock of the Company that together with stock held by such person or group constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company.

		
	(ii)
	Change in Effective Control. Notwithstanding whether the Company has undergone a change of ownership as described in Section 9.1(a)(i), a change of effective control occurs: 

		
	(A)
	when a person or persons acting as a group acquires within a 12-month period 30 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, or 

		
	(B)
	a majority of the Board is replaced within a 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not approved by a majority of the members of the Board before such appointment or election.  

A change in effective control also may occur in any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction has a Change in Control event (i.e. multiple change in control events). For purposes of this Section 9.1(a)(ii), any acquisition by the Company of its own stock within a 12-month period, either through a transaction or series of transactions, that, immediately following such acquisition, results in the total voting power of a person or persons acting as a group to equal or exceed 

30 percent of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not constitute a change in effective control of the Company for purposes of this Section 9.1(a)(ii).

		
	(iii)
	Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets.  Change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs when a person or persons acting as a group acquires assets that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market value of all assets of the Company immediately prior to the acquisition.  A transfer of assets by the Company is not treated as a change in the ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to -

 
		
	(A)
	A shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock; 

		
	(B)
	An entity, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; 

		
	(C)
	A person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company; or

 
		
	(D)
	An entity, at least 50 percent of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in paragraph (iii). 

Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase assets of the Company at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.  Persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction with the Company.  

		
	(b)
	Employment Termination.  “Employment Termination” will be deemed to have occurred when an Associate Participant has a separation from service: 

		
	(i)
	within two years following the effective date of a Change in Control because of an Involuntary Separation from Service other than for Cause; or 

		
	(ii)
	where the basis for the Participant Associate’s Employment Termination is the occurrence of a Good Reason event described in Section 9.1(c), within two years of the initial existence of any condition that would constitute Good Reason and within two years following the effective date of a Change in Control. 

An Employment Termination will not include a termination by reason of the Associate Participant’s death, Disability, Retirement termination of Employment other than a separation from service for Good Reason. 

		
	(c)
	Good Reason.  “Good Reason” means a condition resulting from any of the actions listed below taken by the Company or a Subsidiary, without the consent of the Associate Participant, directed at an Associate Participant:

		
	(i)
	a material decrease in the Participant’s salary or incentive compensation opportunity (the amount paid at target as a percentage of salary under the Management Incentive Compensation Program) as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or

		
	(ii)
	failure to pay the Participant a material portion of the Participant’s current base salary, or incentive compensation within seven days of its due date, or

		
	(iii)
	a material adverse change in the Participant’s reporting responsibilities, duties, or authority as compared with pre-Change in Control responsibilities, duties, or authority, or

		
	(iv)
	a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the Participant is required to report, including a requirement that a Participant report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Board or the Board of the Corporation, as the case may be, or

		
	(v)
	a material diminution in the budget over which the Participant retains authority as compared to the pre-Change in Control budget, or

		
	(vi)
	the Service Recipient’s requiring the Participant to change the principal location at which the Participant must perform services to a location that is more than 50 miles from the location where the Participant performed such services immediately prior to the Change in Control, or

		
	(vii)
	discontinuance of any material paid time off policy, fringe benefit, welfare benefit, incentive compensation, equity compensation, or retirement plan (without substantially equivalent compensating remuneration or a plan or policy providing substantially similar benefits) in which the Participant participates or any action that materially reduces such Participant’s benefits or payments under such plans, as in effect immediately before the Change in Control, provided, that in either case such discontinuance or other action results in a material decrease in the Participant’s overall compensation.  

provided, however, that the Associate Participant must provide notice to the Corporation of the existence of any condition described above within 90 days of the initial existence of the condition, upon the notice of which the Corporation will have 30 days during which it or a Service Recipient may remedy the condition. Any separation from service as a result of a Good Reason condition must occur within two years of the initial existence of the condition and of the Change in Control in order for benefits to be due hereunder. A separation from service for Good Reason will be treated as an Involuntary Separation from Service for purposes of the Plan. 

		
	(d)
	Involuntary Separation from Service. “Involuntary Separation from Service” means separation from service due to the independent exercise of the unilateral authority of the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate the Associate Participant’s services, other than due to the Associate Participant’s implicit or explicit request, where the Associate Participant was willing and able to continue performing services, within the meaning of Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(n)(1) or any successor thereto. 

9.2    Effect on Awards. On an Employment Termination as defined in Section 9.1(b) in connection with a Change in Control as defined in Section 9.1(a), unless otherwise provided for in the Award Notice and subject to Section 12.7, an Associate Participant will have the right to exercise any and all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Associate Participant, and all Stock Awards held by the Associate Participant that are not subject to Performance Goals will immediately vest and be deemed to have been earned and any Stock Awards held by the Associate Participant that are subject to Performance Goals will be deemed satisfied as if target performance was achieved and shall be settled in full in cash, shares or a combination thereof as provided for in the applicable Award Notice within thirty (30) days following Employment Termination (except to the extent that settlement of the Award must be made pursuant to its original schedule in order to comply with Code Section 409A); notwithstanding that the applicable performance period, service period, or other restrictions and conditions have not been completed or satisfied; provided, that, the duration of any exercise period following Employment Termination for a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed the original exercise period; provided, further, that any vested Stock Awards that are Restricted Stock Units or vested Cash Incentive Awards, will be distributed no later than the deadline for distribution specified in Sections 7.5 and 8.8 above.

ARTICLE X
NON-ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR PARTICIPANT AWARDS

10.1    General Provisions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X, each Director who is designated by the Board as a Non-Associate Director Participant on the date of grant will automatically be awarded an annual Equity Award in an amount and in such form as the Board determines and pursuant to such terms, conditions, and restrictions as the Board determines (the “Annual Equity Award”); provided, however, that the maximum aggregate grant date fair value, determined based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, of an Annual Equity Award granted to a Non-Associate Director Participant as compensation for services as a Non-Associate Director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $500,000. Such Annual Equity Awards will begin in May 2019 and continue through May 31, 2024, unless earlier terminated by the Board. The date of grant each Annual Equity Award will be the third full Trading Date following the later of: (i) the date on which the Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, is held (“Annual Meeting”); and (ii) the date on which the Company’s earnings for the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such Annual Meeting date are released to the public. Also, Equity Awards in a pro rata amount of the Annual Equity Award for that year, based on the date of the Non-Associate Director’s election to the Board, will automatically be granted to each individual (other than a former Associate Participant) who is first elected a Non-Associate Director after May 24, 2019, on the third full Trading Date following the effective date of such election.

10.2    Non-Transferability. Subject to Section 12.10, a Non-Associate Director Participant may not transfer, sell, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber or dispose of any shares of Common Stock received in connection with an Annual Equity Award prior to the time his or her service as a director expires or is terminated, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any attempt to do so will be void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Associate Director Participant may sell shares of Common Stock to cover applicable federal, state or local income taxes resulting from the vesting of such Common Stock.  

10.3    Right to Tender, Exchange. Notwithstanding Section 10.2 above, a Non-Associate Director Participant (including for purposes of this paragraph a Non-Associate Director Participant’s guardian or legal representative) will have, with respect to any shares covered by an Annual Equity Award and any shares already received pursuant to an Annual Equity Award under this Plan, the right to: (i) tender or exchange any such shares in the event of the consummation of (A) any tender offer or exchange within the meaning of Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or (B) any plan of merger approved by the Board, in each case that constitutes a Change in Control; and (ii) sell or exercise any option, right, warrant, or similar property derived from or attributable to such shares after such option, right, warrant, or similar property becomes transferable or exercisable. If any shares covered by an Annual Equity Award are tendered or exchanged or any option, right, warrant, or similar property attributable thereto is sold, exercised, or redeemed for value, the cash and/or property received will be delivered to the Company (or its successor) and held subject to the restrictions of the Plan as if it were the stock itself. 

10.4    Non-Associate Director Participant’s Termination. If a Non-Associate Director Participant’s service as a director of the Company terminates on account of any act of: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation; or (ii) embezzlement, misappropriation, or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, such termination will be considered a “Non-Qualifying Termination.” All other terminations, including termination by reason of death, will be considered “Qualifying Terminations.” In the event of a Non-Qualifying Termination, all outstanding restricted Equity Awards made pursuant to this Section will be forfeited or canceled, as the case may be. 

10.5    Stock In Lieu of Cash. A Non-Associate Director Participant may also elect to receive Common Stock in lieu of the cash compensation payable for services rendered as a director, so long as such election is made in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and on such other terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Board. Any such Common Stock issued to a Non-Associate Director Participant in lieu of cash compensation will automatically vest (become non-forfeitable and freely transferable) in the Non-Associate Director Participant on the date of issuance. 

ARTICLE XI
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

No Award may be made under the Plan after May 31, 2024. The Board may terminate the Plan or make such amendments as it deems advisable, including, but not limited to, any amendments to conform to or reflect any change in any law, regulation, or ruling applicable to an Award or the Plan, provided, however, that the Board may not, without approval by affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company having general voting power: (i) take any action which will increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan (except for adjustments pursuant to Section 3.2 and Section 11.7 of the Plan); (ii) decrease the grant or exercise price of any Award to less than fair market value of its underlying Common Stock on the date of grant; (iii) change the individual award limits found in Section 3.3 or any other maximum limit included in the Plan to comply with set forth in the Code; or (iv) change the separate limit for Incentive Stock Options set forth in Section 3.3; (v) change the class of Associate Participants eligible for Awards under Article V. Except as otherwise provided in or permitted by the Plan or by the terms, if any, of an Award under the Plan, no termination or amendment of the Plan or change in the terms of an outstanding Award may adversely affect the rights of the holder of any Award without the consent of the holder.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

12.1    Interpretive Matters.  Whenever required by the context, pronouns and any variation thereof will be deemed to refer to the masculine the feminine or neuter, and the singular will include the plural, and vice versa.  The term “include” or “including” does not denote or imply any limitation.  The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, will not be considered a part of this Plan, and will not be employed in the interpretation of this Plan.

12.2    Unfunded Plan.  The Plan will be unfunded and the Company will not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan.  Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Committee, nor the Board will be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under the Plan nor will anything contained in the Plan or any action taken pursuant to its provisions create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, and a Participant.  To the extent any person has or acquires a right to receive a payment in connection with an Award under the Plan, this right will be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

12.3    No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor any Award under the Plan will confer on a Participant any right with respect to continuation of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary nor will the Plan or an Award interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time.

12.4    No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans.  Except as may otherwise be specifically stated under any employee benefit plan, policy, or program, no amount payable in respect of any Award will be treated as compensation for purposes of calculating a Participant’s right under any such plan, policy, or program.  The Plan is not a “welfare plan” or “pension plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

12.5    Stockholder Rights.  A Participant (including for purposes of this Section, a Participant’s legatee, distributee, guardian, legal representative, or other third party, as the Committee may determine) will have no stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to an Equity Award until such shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant. Shares of Common Stock will be deemed issued on the date on which they are issued in the Participant’s (as this term is defined in the preceding sentence) name.

12.6    Indemnification.  Each person who is or will have been a member of the Board or of the Committee and any designee of the Board or Committee will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed on or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be made party or in which he may be involved by reason 

of any determination, interpretation, action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against him, provided he will give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive and will be independent of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, By-laws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise. 

12.7    Adjustments in Capitalization.  In the event of any change in the value or number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, or the assumption and conversion of outstanding Awards, by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, dividend or distribution, whether in cash, shares or other property (other than a normal cash dividend), recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, the Committee or its designee will make changes to the Plan and Awards in an equitable and appropriate, manner including, but not limited to: (1) the exercise price under each unexercised Stock Option; (2) the exercise price under each unexercised Stock Appreciation Right; and (3) the number, type, character, and class of shares which may be issued on exercise of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted and for Stock Awards, including restricted stock units, and any remaining shares reserved under the Plan. Any such adjustment with respect to each Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be consistent with the requirements applicable to exempt stock rights under Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(b)(5) or its successor. Any adjustment with respect to Incentive Stock Options will also conform to the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Any adjustment will also include the limits under the Plan established for purposes of section 162(m) of the Code and with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options, 

12.8    Prohibition on Repricing.  Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property), stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, change in control, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Common Shares or other securities, or similar transaction(s)), the Company may not (a) amend the terms of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to reduce the exercise price of such outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights; (b) cancel outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights; (c) cancel outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price above the current stock price in exchange for cash or other Awards or securities; or (d) take any other action with respect to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders. 

12.9    Compliance with Applicable Legal Requirements.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company will not be required to sell or issue shares of Common Stock in connection with any Award if the issuance thereof would constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or other forum in which shares of Common Stock are quoted or traded (including without limitation Section 16 of the 1934 Act); and, as a condition of any sale or issuance of shares of Common Stock under an Award, the Committee may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation.  The Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares of Common Stock, will be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required.

12.10    Transferability. No unearned Stock Awards or vested or unvested Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, and no shares of Common Stock that have not been issued or as to which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period has not lapsed, may be sold, assigned, pledged, or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any attempt to do so will be void.  No Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable during an Associate Participant’s lifetime except by the Associate Participant or the Associate Participant’s guardian or legal representative. To the extent and under such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee, a Participant may assign or transfer an Award without consideration  (i) to the Participant’s spouse, children or grandchildren (including any adopted and step children or grandchildren), parents, grandparents or siblings, (ii) to a trust for the 

benefit of one or more of the Participant or the persons referred to in clause (i), (iii) to a partnership, limited liability company or corporation in which the Participant or the persons referred to in clause (i) are the only partners, members or shareholders or (iv) for charitable donations; provided that any such assignee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement relating to the transferred Award and shall, to the extent necessary, execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing such obligations; and provided further that such Participant shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan.  The Company shall cooperate with any assignee and the Company’s transfer agent in effectuating any transfer permitted under this Section.

12.11    Withholding Taxes. All distributions under the Plan will be subject to any required withholding taxes and other withholdings and, all tax withholdings will be governed by the Code and any applicable state laws and any rules and regulations adopted thereunder and, in the case of Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any restrictions set forth in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.  In case of distributions in Common Stock, the Participant or other recipient may, as a condition precedent to the delivery of Common Stock, be required to pay to his/her participating employer the excess, if any, of the total withholding obligation with respect to any federal, state, and local tax obligations, including FICA and Medicare over the actual amount withheld, which will be limited to the minimum statutory withholding or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences and is permitted under applicable Internal Revenue Service withholding rules, if any, from any distributions under the Plan.  All or a portion of such payment may, in the discretion of the Committee or its designee and upon the election of the Participant, be made (a) in cash, (b) by withholding from shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be delivered to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy all or a portion of the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation, (c) by tendering (either actually or by attestation) owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock acceptable to the Committee and having a Fair Market Value on the date of tender equal to or less than the remaining required tax withholding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company adopts International Financial Reporting Standards, the minimum statutory withholding obligation, or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences and is permitted under applicable Internal Revenue Service withholding rules, will not be satisfied by withholding shares of Common Stock if permitting the satisfaction of the minimum statutory withholding obligation via the withholding of shares of Common Stock would result in unfavorable accounting treatment for the Company.

12.12    No Limitations on Compensation. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to shareholders of the Company for approval will be construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such other or additional incentive or other compensation arrangements of whatever nature as the Board may deem necessary or desirable or preclude or limit the continuation of any other plan, practice or arrangement for the payment of compensation or fringe benefits to employees generally, or to any class or group of employees, which the Company or any Subsidiary now has lawfully put into effect, including, without limitation, any retirement, pension, savings, profit sharing or stock purchase plan, insurance, death and disability benefits, and executive short term incentive plans.

12.13    Code Section 83(b) Elections.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have any responsibility for a Participant’s election, attempt to elect or failure to elect to include the value of an Award subject to section 83 of the Code in the Participant’s gross income for the year of grant pursuant to section 83(b) of the Code.  Any Participant who makes an election pursuant to section 83(b) of the Code will promptly provide the Committee or its designee with a copy of the election form.
12.14    Section 409A of the Code.  The Plan is intended to be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, where applicable.  Where reasonably possible and practicable, the Plan will be administered in a manner to avoid the imposition on participants of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes under section 409A of the Code. Unless specifically provided for in an Award Notice, no Equity Award will provide any feature for the deferral of compensation as defined by Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(b).  Any deferral will be for such period and in accordance with the terms and conditions as the Committee may determine and must be in compliance with section 409A of the Code. The terms and conditions applicable to such deferral and the terms and conditions evidencing compliance with section 409A of the Code will be set forth in the Award Notice. The method of payment for, and type and character of, any Award may not be altered by any deferral permitted under this Section unless 

specifically permitted under section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any person in the event section 409A of the Code is determined to apply to an Award in a manner that results in adverse tax consequences for the participant or any of his beneficiaries or transferees. 
12.15    Effective Date.  The Plan will become effective on May 24, 2019, subject to approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present by person or by proxy at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting that are entitled to vote on a proposal to approve the adoption of the Plan.

12.16    Governing Law.  To the extent that federal laws do not otherwise control, this Plan and all determinations made and actions taken under this Plan will be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to Delaware’s conflict-of-laws principles and will be construed accordingly.

12.17    Severability.  The Company intends all provisions of the Plan to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If any provision of this Plan will be held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, under present or future law, the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision will be fully severable and severed, and will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan, and the remaining provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance.

12.18    Compensation Recoupment Policy.  Awards may be made subject to any compensation recoupment policy adopted by the Board or the Committee at any time prior to or after the effective date of the Plan, and as such policy may be amended from time to time after its adoption. The compensation recoupment policy will be applied to any Award that constitutes the deferral of compensation subject to section 409A of the Code in a manner that complies with the requirements of section 409A of the Code. 

12.19    No Issuance of Certificates.  Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent the Plan provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with an Award, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificate basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is traded.Exhibit

the Executive shall be entitled to the following severance payments and benefits upon such termination: (1) a lump sum cash
payment equal to three months of the Executive’s base salary at a rate equal to the greater of his/her annual salary in
effect immediately prior to the termination, or his/her then current annual salary as of the date of such termination; (2) a
lump sum cash payment equal to a pro-rated amount of his/her target annual bonus for the year immediately preceding the termination;
(3) payment of premiums for continued health benefits under the Company’s health plans for three months following the
termination; and (4) immediate vesting of 100% of the then-unvested portion of any outstanding equity awards held by the
Executive.

	 	 	

 
	 	(b)	By
        the Executive. The Executive may terminate the Employment at any time with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
        to the Company without cause, if (1) there is a material reduction in the Executive’s authority, duties and
        responsibilities unless such reduction was made with his/her consent, or (2) there is a material reduction in the
        Executive’s annual salary (the occurrences in (1) and (2) being referred to as “Good Reason”).
        Upon the Executive’s termination of the Employment due to either of the above reasons, the Company shall provide
        compensation to the Executive equivalent to three months of the Executive’s base salary that he/she is entitled
        to immediately prior to such termination. In addition, the Executive may resign prior to the expiration of the Agreement
        if such resignation is approved by the Board or an alternative arrangement with respect to the Employment is agreed to
        by the Board.

         

        In
        order to be eligible for, and as a condition precedent for the payment of, the severance payments and benefits under this
        Section 7(b), the Executive must execute and deliver to the Company a general release of the Company and all members of
        the Group and their affiliates in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Board.

 

	 	(c)	Notice
    of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be communicated by
    written notice of termination from the terminating party to the other party. The notice of termination shall indicate the
    specific provision(s) of this Agreement relied upon in effecting the termination.

    information disclosed to the Executive by or obtained by the Executive from the Company, its affiliates, or their respective
    clients, customers or partners either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or otherwise, if specifically indicated to
    be confidential or reasonably expected to be confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not
    include information that is generally available and known to the public through no fault of the Executive.

    with the Company (or at any other time when requested by the Company), the Executive will promptly deliver to the Company
    all documents and materials of any nature pertaining to his/her work with the Company and will provide written certification
    of his/her compliance with this Agreement. Under no circumstances will the Executive have, following his/her termination,
    in his/her possession any property of the Company, or any documents or materials or copies thereof containing any Confidential
    Information.

 

	 	(c)	Former
    Employer Information. The Executive agrees that he/she has not and will not, during the term of his/her employment,
    (i) improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or
    entity with which the Executive has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Executive, if any,
    or (ii) bring into the premises of the Company any document or confidential or proprietary information belonging to such
    former employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such former employer, person or entity. The Executive
    will indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including
    reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any violation of the foregoing.

 

	 	(d)	Third
    Party Information. The Executive recognizes that the Company may have received, and in the future may receive, from third

    of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. The Executive agrees that the Executive owes the Company
    and such third parties, during the Executive’s employment by the Company and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential
    or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person or firm and to use it in a manner
    consistent with, and for the limited purposes permitted by, the Company’s agreement with such third party.

	9.  	CONFLICTING
    EMPLOYMENT

 

The
Executive hereby agrees that, during the term of his/her employment with the Company, he/she will not engage in any other employment,
occupation, consulting or other business activity related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved
during the term of the Executive’s employment, nor will the Executive engage in any other activities that conflict with

	10.  	NON-COMPETITION
    AND NON-SOLICITATION

 

In
consideration of the salary paid to the Executive by the Company, the Executive agrees that during the term of the Employment
and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of the Employment for whatever reason:

 

	 	(a)	The
    Executive will not approach clients, customers or contacts of the Company or the Group, users of the Company’s or the
    Group’s services, or other persons or entities introduced to the Executive in the Executive’s capacity as a representative
    of the Company or the Group for the purposes of doing business with such persons or entities which will harm the business
    relationship between the Company or the Group and such persons and/or entities;

 

	 	(b)	the
    Executive will not assume employment with or provide services as a director, consultant or otherwise for any Competitor, or
    engage, whether as principal, partner, licensor or otherwise, in any Competitor; and

 

	 	(c)	the
    Executive will not seek, directly or indirectly, by the offer of alternative employment or other inducement whatsoever, to
    solicit the services of any officer, director, or employee of or consultant to the Company or any member of the Group employed
    or engaged as at or after the date of such termination, or in the twelve (12) months preceding such termination.

 

The
provisions contained in Section 10 are considered reasonable by the Executive in order to protect the legitimate business
interest of the Company and the Group. In the event that any such provisions should be found to be void under applicable laws
but would be valid if some part thereof was deleted or the period or area of application reduced, such provisions shall apply
with such modification as may be necessary to make them valid and effective.

 

This
Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event the Executive breaches this Section 10,
the Executive acknowledges that there will be no adequate remedy at law, and the Company or the applicable member of the Group
shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance, and such other relief as may be proper (including
monetary damages if appropriate). In any event, the Company or any applicable member of the Group shall have right to seek all
remedies permissible under applicable law.

 

11.
INDEMNIFICATION.

 

The
Company shall, to the maximum extent provided under applicable law, indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from and against
any expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other legally permissible amounts
(“Losses”), incurred in connection with any proceeding arising out of, or related to, his/her performance of
the Employment, other than any such Losses incurred as a result of the Executive’s fraud, willful default, gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The Company shall advance to the Executive any expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of settlement, incurred in defending any such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Such costs and
expenses incurred by the Executive in defense of any such proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition
of such proceeding promptly upon receipt by the Company of (a) written request for payment; (b) appropriate documentation evidencing
the incurrence, amount and nature of the costs and expenses for which payment is being sought; and (c) an undertaking adequate
under applicable law made by the Executive or on his/her behalf to repay the amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
pursuant to any non-appealable judgment or settlement that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

This
Agreement and all issues pertaining to the Employment or the termination of the Employment shall be governed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of New York without regard to choice of law principles, except the arbitration provision which shall
be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Executive agrees that if, for any reason, any provision hereof is unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement will nonetheless remain binding and in effect. Any dispute regarding the Employment or this Agreement,
other than any injunctive relief available under Section 10 hereof, which cannot be resolved by negotiations between the Executive
and the Company shall be submitted to, and solely determined by, final and binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its arbitration rules applicable to employment disputes, and the parties
agree to be bound by the final award of the arbitrator in any such proceeding. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State
of New York with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, or to any claims involving the Employment or
the termination of the Employment. All questions regarding whether or not a dispute is subject to arbitration will be resolved
by the arbitrator. Arbitration shall be held in the AAA New York City Office, or such other place as the parties may mutually
agree. Judgment upon the award by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, including in the People’s
Republic of China or Hong Kong. The arbitrator shall award costs and attorney fees to the prevailing party. As part of this Agreement,
Executive agrees that Executive may not participate in a representative capacity or as a member of any class of claims pertaining
to any claim against the Company. There is no right or authority for any claims subject to this Agreement to be arbitrated on
a class or collective action basis or on any basis involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of
any other person or group of people similarly situated. Such claims are prohibited. Furthermore, claims brought by or against
either the Company or the Executive may not be joined or consolidated in the arbitration with claims brought by or against any
other person or entity unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties involved.

Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by a formal, definitive written agreement expressly

Neither
the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other
or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power
or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to
any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted
such waiver.
