under all plans of the Company and ISO Subsidiary exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market
Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option or other incentive stock option is granted.

 

(i) Duration
of Plan. No ISO may be granted more than ten years after the earlier of (a) adoption of this Plan by the Board and (b) the

(k) Transferability.
No ISO may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution; provided, however, that at the discretion of the Committee, an ISO may be transferred to a grantor trust

vesting, exercisability or settlement of, eliminate the restrictions and conditions applicable to, or extend the post-termination exercise
period of an outstanding Award. Such provisions shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and may be specified in the
applicable Award Agreement or determined at a subsequent time. The Committee’s decisions need not be uniform among all Award Agreements

Article
17. EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

17.1 Change
in Control. Subject to Section 23.1, if a Participant has in effect an employment, retention, change in control, severance or similar
agreement with the Company or any Affiliate or is subject to a policy or plan that discusses the effect of a Change in Control on a Participant’s
Awards, then such agreement, plan or policy shall control. In all other cases, unless provided otherwise in an Award Agreement or by
the Committee prior to the date of the Change in Control, in the event of a Change in Control:

 

(a) If
a Successor so agrees, some or all outstanding Awards shall be assumed, or replaced with the same type of award with similar terms and
conditions, by a Successor in the Change in Control transaction. If applicable, each Award that is assumed by a Successor shall be appropriately
adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities that would have been issuable to a
Participant upon the consummation of such Change in Control had the Award been exercised, vested or earned immediately prior to such
Change in Control, and other appropriate adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Award shall be made. Subject to Section 23.1,
upon the termination of a Participant’s employment with a Successor in connection with or within 24 months following the Change
in Control for any reason other than an involuntary termination by a Successor for cause or a voluntary termination by the Participant
without good reason (as cause and good reason (or analogous terms) are defined by an applicable employment agreement or a change in control
plan or policy or, if not applicable, the policies generally applicable to employees of a Successor), all of the Participant’s
Awards that are in effect as of the date of such termination shall be vested in full or deemed earned in full (assuming the target performance
goals provided under such Award were met, if applicable) effective on the date of such termination.

 

(b) To
the extent a Successor in the Change in Control transaction does not assume the Awards or issue replacement awards as provided in clause
(a), then, unless provided otherwise in an Award Agreement or determined by the Committee, immediately prior to the date of the Change
in Control all Awards that are then held by Participants shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the following:

 

(i) For
each Option or SAR, a cash payment equal to the excess of the Change in Control price of the Shares covered by the Option or SAR that
is so cancelled over the purchase or grant price of such Shares under the Award;

 

(ii) For
each Share of Restricted Stock and each Restricted Stock Unit, the Change in Control price per Share in cash or such other consideration
as the Company or the shareholders of the Company receive in such Change in Control;

 

(iii) For
all Performance Shares and/or Performance Units that are earned but not yet paid, a cash payment equal to the value of the Performance
Share and/or Performance Unit;

 

(iv) For
all Performance Shares and Performance Units for which the performance period has not expired, a cash payment equal to the product of
(x) and (y) where (x) is the Award the Participant would have earned based on target performance and (y) is a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of calendar months that the Participant was employed by the Company during the performance period (with any partial
month counting as a full month for this purpose) and the denominator of which is the number of months in the performance period;

 

(v) For
all other Awards that are earned but not yet paid, a cash payment equal to the value of the other Awards;

 

(vi) For
all other Awards that are not yet earned, a cash payment equal to either the amount that would have been due under such Award(s) if any
performance goals (as measured at the time of the Change in Control) were to be achieved at the target level through the end of the performance
period or a cash payment based on the value of the Award as of the date of the Change in Control; and

 

(vii) For
all Dividend Equivalents, a cash payment equal to the value of the Dividend Equivalents as of the date of the Change in Control.

 

If
the value of an Award is based on the Fair Market Value of a Share, Fair Market Value shall be deemed to mean the per share Change in
Control price. The Committee shall determine the per share Change in Control price paid or deemed paid in the Change in Control transaction.

Article
18. DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

 

The
Committee may provide Participants with the right to receive dividends or payments equivalent to dividends (“Dividend Equivalents”)
or interest with respect to an outstanding Award, which payments can either be paid in cash or deemed to have been reinvested in Shares,
or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine, in each case, subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including,
without limitation, Code Section 409A. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to Awards that vest based on the achievement
of Performance Measures shall be accumulated until such Award is earned and vested, and the dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall not
be paid if the Performance Measures and time-based vesting restrictions are not satisfied. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect
to Awards that are subject to time-based vesting restrictions shall be accumulated until such Awards vest in accordance with their terms,
and the dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid if the time-based vesting restrictions are not satisfied. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.2

 

Article
19. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

 

Each
Participant under this Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
to whom any benefit under this Plan is to be paid in case of his death before he receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation
shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only
when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such beneficiary
designation, benefits remaining unpaid or rights remaining unexercised at the Participant’s death shall be paid to or exercised
by the Participant’s executor, administrator or legal representative.

 

Article
20. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS

 

20.1 Employment.
Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall (a) interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate
to terminate any Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law
or (b) confer upon any Participant any right to continue his employment or service as a Director or Third-Party Service Provider
for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with
the Company or any Affiliate and, accordingly, subject to Article 3 and Article 21, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be amended
or terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to any liability on the part of
the Company, any Affiliate, the Committee or the Board.

 

20.2 Participation.
No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to
receive a future Award. The Committee may grant more than one Award to a Participant and may designate an individual as a Participant
for overlapping periods of time.

 

20.3 Rights
as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect
to Shares covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends
or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date on which the Participant becomes the record holder of the Shares.

 

Article
21. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

21.1 Amendment
and Termination of this Plan and Awards. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations and Section 21.3 of this
Plan, the Board may at any time amend or terminate this Plan or amend or terminate any outstanding Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no amendment of this Plan shall be made without shareholder approval if shareholder approval is required pursuant to rules promulgated
by any stock exchange or quotation system on which Shares are listed or quoted or by applicable U.S. state corporate laws or regulations,
applicable U.S. federal laws or regulations and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where Awards are, or
will be, granted under this Plan.

 

 

		2	Note
to Draft: ISS gives full points under its scorecard for plans that prohibit the payment of dividends on unvested awards. As such, it
is common for plans to provide that dividends on unvested equity awards will accumulate and become payable upon the vesting the related
equity award.

 

    16

     

    

 

21.2 Adjustment
of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. Subject to Section 14.2, the Committee may make adjustments
in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without
limitation, the events described in Section 4.3) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes
in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in
order to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan.
The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under this
Plan. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant agrees to any adjustment to the Award made pursuant to this Section 21.2 without
further consideration or action.

 

21.3 Awards
Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, other than Sections 21.2, 21.4 and
23.16, no termination or amendment of this Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously
granted under this Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award.

 

21.4 Amendment
to Conform to Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the broad authority
to amend this Plan, an Award or an Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable in order
to comply with, take into account changes in, or interpretations of, applicable tax laws, securities laws, employment laws, accounting
rules and other applicable laws, rules, rulings and regulations promulgated thereunder. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a
Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 21.4 to this Plan, an Award or an Award Agreement without
further consideration or action.

 

21.5 Repricing
of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without
limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
spin-off, combination, or exchange of Shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended, without stockholder approval, to reduce
the exercise price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or to cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights
in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price
of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

Article
22. TAX WITHHOLDING

 

22.1 Tax
Withholding. The Company may require any individual entitled to receive a payment of an Award to remit to the Company prior to payment,
an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding requirements. The Company shall also
have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant (whether or not such payment is made in connection with an Award) any
applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Award.

 

22.2 Share
Withholding. With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted
Stock, upon the settlement of Restricted Stock Units, or upon the achievement of performance goals related to Performance Shares, or
any other taxable event arising as a result of an Award granted hereunder (collectively and individually referred to as a “Share
Payment”), the Committee may permit or require a Participant to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by
having the Company withhold Shares from a Share Payment (or repurchase Shares that were previously issued) having a Fair Market
Value on the date the withholding is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory withholding requirement or such other rate as will
not result in any adverse accounting consequences, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Article
23. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

23.1 Minimum
Vesting. All Awards shall be subject to a minimum time-based vesting restriction or Performance Period, as applicable, of not less
than one year (or, in the case of awards to Non-Employee Directors, the period from one annual meeting of Shareholders to the next);
provided, however, the requirements set forth in this sentence shall not apply (i) to acceleration in the event of a Termination
of Employment or Termination of Directorship on or following a Change in Control, or due to Retirement, death or Disability, and in the
circumstances described in Section 17.1(b), (ii) to substitute Awards subject to time-based vesting restrictions no less than the restrictions
of the Awards being replaced, and (iii) Awards involving an aggregate number of Shares not in excess of 5% of the total shares authorized
for issuance under this Plan.

 

23.2 Forfeiture
Events. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to
an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

23.3 Legend.
All certificates for Shares delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee
may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any exchange upon
which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any
such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

23.4 Data
Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and
transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this section by and among the Company and its Affiliates exclusively
for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Affiliates may hold
certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social
security, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or its affiliates;
and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Affiliates
may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the
Plan, and the Company and its Affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration
and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country
may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes
such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage
the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the
Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary
to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data
that the Company holds regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding
such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this
Section 23.4 in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. If the Participant refuses or withdraws
the consents in this Section 23.4, the Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Committee’s
discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards. For more information on the consequences of refusing or withdrawing consent,
Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

 

23.5 Gender
and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the
plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.

 

23.6 Severability.
In the event any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
the remaining parts of this Plan, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included.

 

23.7 Requirements
of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and

 

(b) Completion
of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable national, state or foreign law or ruling of any governmental
body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable.

 

23.9 Inability
to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company
of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

23.10 Investment
Representations. The Committee may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to an Award under this Plan to represent and
warrant in writing that the individual is acquiring the Shares for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute
such Shares.

 

23.11 Employees
Based Outside of the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, subject to Section 23.1, in order
to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company or any Affiliates operate or have Employees, Directors or Third-Party
Service Providers, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to:

 

(a) Determine
which Affiliates shall be covered by this Plan;

 

(b) Determine
which Employees, Directors or Third-Party Service Providers outside the United States are eligible to participate in this Plan;

 

(c) Modify
the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Employees, Directors or Third-Party Service Providers outside the United States to comply
with applicable foreign laws;

 

(d) Establish
sub-plans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable. Any
sub-plans and modifications to Plan terms and procedures established under this Section 23.11 by the Committee shall be attached
to this Plan document as appendices; and

 

(e) Take
any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local government
regulatory exemptions or approvals.

the above, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate applicable law.

 

23.12 Uncertificated
Shares. To the extent that this Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such
Shares may be affected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.

 

23.13 Unfunded
Plan. Participants shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company or any Affiliates
may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions,
shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary,
legal representative or any other individual. To the extent that any individual acquires a right to receive payments from the Company
or any Affiliate under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or any
Affiliate, as the case may be. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, or any Affiliate,
as the case may be, and no special or separate fund shall be established, and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment
of such amounts except as expressly set forth in this Plan.

 

    19

     

    

 

23.14 No
Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine
whether cash, Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any
rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

 

23.15 Retirement
and Welfare Plans. Neither Awards made under this Plan nor Shares or cash paid pursuant to such Awards may be included as “compensation”
for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under the Company’s or any Affiliate’s retirement plans
(both qualified and nonqualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall
be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit.

 

23.16 Deferrals.

 

(a) Notwithstanding
any contrary provision in this Plan or an Award Agreement, if any provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement contravenes any regulations or
guidance promulgated under Code Section 409A or would cause an Award to be subject to additional taxes, accelerated taxation, interest
and/or penalties under Code Section 409A, such provision of this Plan or Award Agreement may be modified by the Committee without
consent of the Participant in any manner the Committee deems reasonable or necessary. In making such modifications the Committee shall
attempt, but shall not be obligated, to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision
without contravening the provisions of Code Section 409A. Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Committee may have pursuant
to this Plan shall not be applicable to an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A to the extent such discretionary authority
would contravene Code Section 409A or the guidance promulgated thereunder.

 

(b) If
a Participant is a “specified employee” as defined under Code Section 409A and the Participant’s Award is to be
settled on account of the Participant’s separation from service (for reasons other than death) and such Award constitutes “deferred
compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A, then any portion of the Participant’s Award that would otherwise be
settled during the six-month period commencing on the Participant’s separation from service shall be settled as soon as practicable
following the conclusion of the six-month period (or following the Participant’s death if it occurs during such six-month period).

 

(c) In
accordance with the procedures authorized by, and subject to the approval of, the Committee, Participants may be given the opportunity
to defer the payment or settlement of an Award to one or more dates selected by the Participant; provided, however,
that the terms of any deferrals must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, Code Section 409A.
No deferral opportunity shall exist with respect to an Award unless explicitly permitted by the Committee on or after the time of grant.

 

23.17 Nonexclusivity
of this Plan. The adoption of this Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or Committee
to adopt such other compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable for any Participant.

 

23.18 No
Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (i) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s
or a Affiliate’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure,
or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets, or (ii) limit
the right or power of the Company or any Affiliate to take any action that such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate. The proceeds
received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Awards will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

23.19 Conflicts.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and any Award Agreement, this Plan shall govern and the Award Agreement
shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such inconsistency.

 

    20

     

    

 

23.20 Recoupment.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all Awards granted under this Plan and any payments made under this Plan shall
be subject to claw-back or recoupment as permitted or mandated by applicable law, rules, regulations or Company policy as enacted,
adopted or modified from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall apply to any gains realized upon exercise or
settlement of an Award.

 

23.21 Delivery
and Execution of Electronic Documents. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may (i) deliver by email or other
electronic means (including posting on a website maintained by the Company or by a third party under contract with the Company) all documents
relating to this Plan or any Award thereunder (including without limitation, prospectuses and other securities requirements) and all
other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including without limitation, annual reports and proxy
statements) and (ii) permit Participants to electronically execute applicable Plan documents (including, but not limited to, Award
Agreements) in a manner prescribed to the Committee.

 

23.22 No
Representations or Warranties Regarding Tax Effect. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Company, Affiliates,
the Board and the Committee neither represent nor warrant the tax treatment under any federal, state, local or foreign laws and regulations
thereunder (individually and collectively referred to as the “Tax Laws”) of any Award granted or any amounts paid
to any Participant under this Plan including, but not limited to, when and to what extent such Awards or amounts may be subject to tax,
penalties and interest under the Tax Laws.

 

23.23 Indemnification.
Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as it may be amended from time
to time, each individual who is or shall have been a member of the Board, or a Committee appointed by the Board, or an officer of the
Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Article 3, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and
from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with
or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason
of any good faith action taken or failure to act under this Plan, (ii) any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof,
with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against
him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or
she undertakes to handle and defend it on his/her own behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no individual shall be entitled to indemnification
if such loss, cost, liability or expense is a result of his/her own willful misconduct. The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such individuals may be entitled under the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation or By-laws, as a matter of law or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 

23.24 Successors.
Subject to Article 17, all obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any
successor to the Company (each, a “Successor”), whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct
or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

 

23.25 Governing
Law. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware excluding any conflicts or choice of
law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
