SECTION 5. Shares Available for Issuance. 
(a)     Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 5, a total of 6,500,000 Shares shall be authorized for Awards granted under the Plan, plus the additional Shares that again become available for grant under Sections 5(b) and 5(c) below, less one (1) Share for every one (1) Share that was subject to an option or stock appreciation right granted on or after March 1, 2017 under any Prior Plan and less 2 Shares for every one (1) Share that was subject to an award other than an option or stock appreciation right granted on or after March 1, 2017 under any Prior Plan  (the “Maximum Share Limit”). Any Shares that are subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as one (1) Share for every one (1) Share granted and any Shares that are subject to Awards other than Options of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as 2 Shares for every one (1) Share granted. After the Company’s shareholders approve the Plan, no further awards may be granted under the Prior Plans. Shares up to the Maximum Share Limit may be subject to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, provided that no more than 5,000,000 Shares may be subject to Incentive Stock Options.  
(b)     If (i) any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, an Award expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of Shares, or an Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part) or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Shares subject to such Award (including on payment in Shares on exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right), such Shares shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, 

7

termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, again be available for grant under the Plan in accordance with Section 5(d) below or (ii) after February 28, 2017 any Shares subject to an award under any Prior Plan are forfeited, an award under any Prior Plan expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of such Shares, or an award under any Prior Plan is settled for cash (in whole or in part), or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Shares subject to such award (including on payment in Shares on exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right), then in each such case the Shares subject to the Award or award under any Prior Plan shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, again be available for grant under the Plan in accordance with Section 5(d) below. 
(c)     In the event that (i) any Option or other Award granted hereunder is exercised through the tendering of Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Shares by the Company, or (ii) withholding tax liabilities arising from such Option or other Award are satisfied by the tendering of Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Shares by the Company, then in each such case the Shares so tendered or withheld shall again be available for grant under the Plan in accordance with Section 5(d) below. In the event that after February 28, 2017 (i) any option or award under any Prior Plan is exercised through the tendering of Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Shares by the Company, or (ii) withholding tax liabilities arising from such options or awards are satisfied by the tendering of Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Shares by the Company, then in each such case the Shares so tendered or withheld shall be available for grant under the Plan in accordance with Section 5(d) below. 
(d) Any shares that again become available for Awards under the Plan pursuant to this Section shall be added as (i) one (1) Share subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan or options or stock appreciation rights granted under any Prior Plan, and (ii) as two (2) Shares for every one (1) Share subject to Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan or awards other than options or stock appreciation rights granted under any Prior Plan. 
(e)     Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan or the applicable limitations on grants to a Participant under Section 5(g) and Section 9(d), nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award again be available for Awards under the Plan as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) above. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or with which the Company or any Affiliate combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by shareholders 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 again be available for Awards under the Plan as provided in 

8

paragraphs (b) and (c) above); 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 employees prior to such acquisition or combination. 
(f)     Any Shares issued hereunder may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or shares purchased in the open market or otherwise. 
(g)     In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend (other than an ordinary cash dividend) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares or other securities), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, make any such substitution or adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and equitable, which may include, without limitation, adjustments to any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, including the aggregate and individual limits specified in Section 5(a) and Section 9(d), (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities) subject to outstanding Awards and any performance condition applicable to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant, purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number and that dividends shall be subject to the same vesting requirements of the underlying Award.
SECTION 6. Options. 
The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to Participants with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine: 
(a)     The purchase price per Share under an Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that, except in the case of Substitute Awards, such purchase price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option. In no event shall dividends or dividend equivalents be paid with respect to Options. 
(b)     The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee but shall not exceed 6 years from the date of grant thereof. 
(c)     The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, however, that, except in the event of a

(e)     The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, Incentive Stock Options shall only be granted to employees of the Company or a Subsidiary and the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

(c)     Any tandem SAR related to an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option. In the case of any tandem SAR related to any Option, the SAR or applicable 

10

portion thereof shall not be exercisable until the related Option or applicable portion thereof is exercisable and shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, except that a SAR granted with respect to less than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option shall not be reduced until the exercise or termination of the related Option exceeds the number of Shares not covered by the SAR. Any Option related to any tandem SAR shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related SAR has been exercised. 
(d)     A freestanding SAR shall not have a term of greater than 6 years or, unless it is a Substitute Award, an exercise price less than 100% of Fair Market Value of the Share on the date of grant and, except in the event of a Change in Control, shall not be exercisable before the expiration of one year from the date the SAR is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with regards to any Director eligible to receive a freestanding SAR pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Plan, a freestanding SAR shall not, in the event of a Change in Control, be exercisable before the expiration of six months from the date the SAR is granted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with regards to any Director eligible to receive an Award pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Plan (and subject to Section 12(g)), Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall have a vesting period of not less than six months.
(c)     Any Share of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. 

11

(d)     The Committee may in its discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units; provided, that the Committee may not waive the restriction in the proviso of Section 8(b). 
(e)     If the Committee intends that an Award granted under this Section 8, shall constitute or give rise to “qualified performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, such Award may be structured in accordance with the requirements of Section 9, including the performance criteria set forth therein, and any such Award shall be considered an Award of Performance Stock or Performance Units, as applicable, for purposes of the Plan. 
(f)     Section 11 sets forth certain additional provisions that shall apply to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. 
SECTION 9. Performance Stock and Performance Units. 
(a)     The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Performance Stock and Performance Units to Participants. 
(b)     Subject to the terms of the Plan, Shares of Performance Stock and Performance Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Performance Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right), which restrictions may lapse, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the number of Shares subject to any Award of Performance Stock or Performance Units shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that subject to Section 12(g), the performance period relating to Performance Stock and Performance Units shall be at least one year. 
(c)     Any Share of Performance Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Shares of Performance Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Performance Stock. 
(d)     Every Award of Performance Stock and every Award of Performance Units to a member of the Executive Group shall, if the Committee intends that such Award should constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, include a pre-established performance goal and the objective, nondiscretionary formula for determining performance thereunder, such that payment, retention or vesting of the Award is subject to the achievement during a performance period or periods, as determined by the Committee, of a level or levels, as

determined by the Committee, based on or derived from one or more of the following performance measures with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary, any segment, line of business or selected business and/or any business unit of the Company or any Subsidiary, whether on a total or organic basis: revenue (including Acceleration of  Profitable Growth initiative, market share, revenue  growth, growth rate, compound annual growth, revenue versus peer group and revenue per employee); market penetration; business retention; costs (including IT, fleet, fuel, maintenance, direct labor, total labor, SG&A, facilities, real estate, corporate expenses, bad debt, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, whether on an absolute basis or as a percent of revenue); profit (including operating profit (“OP”), net income, operating income, EBIT, EBITA, EBITDA, free cash flow (before or after dividends), cash from operating activities, and for each of these profit measures, growth, growth rate, compound annual growth, or performance versus peer group); margin (including Close The Gap initiative, OP margin,  gross margin, earnings per share, EBIT margin, EBITA margin, EBITDA margin, and for each of these margin measures, growth, growth rate, compound annual growth, or performance versus peer group); operating leverage; stock price (including absolute change, percent change, performance versus peer group, performance versus indices, dividends); total shareholder return; stockholder equity, total market capitalization, book value (on an absolute or per share basis), analyst coverage (sell-side or buy side); stock price multiple (whether on the basis of revenue, EBIT, EBITA or EBITDA); returns on equity, assets, net assets, capital, or invested capital; economic value added; capital (including working capital improvement, DSO, DPO, cash conversion, cash, debt, net debt, financial leverage, capital expenditures, lease financing, cost of capital, weighted average cost of capital, and for each of these capital measures absolute amounts, year-end amounts, growth, growth rate, compound annual growth, performance versus peer group, performance per employee); customer focus (including new customers, customer retention, satisfaction or service levels); employee safety; employee recruiting; employee retention; employee turnover, employee satisfaction; employee overtime; mergers and acquisitions; divestitures; geographic expansion; brand expansion; licensing; critical projects; critical processes; operational effectiveness; compliance; management of debt covenants, credit ratings, NYSE listing requirements, legacy liabilities, litigation, employment practices, employee benefits, and Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory compliance, whether or not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but, where applicable, as consistently applied by the Company and, as so determined by the Committee prior to the release or forfeiture of the Shares of Performance Stock or the expiration of the Award of Performance Units (as applicable), adjusted, to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code if the Committee intends the Award of Performance Stock or Performance Units to continue to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, to omit the effects of unusual or infrequently occurring events and transactions and extraordinary items, including but not limited to, the gain or loss on the disposal of a business segment, asset write-downs, significant litigation or claim judgments or settlements, acquisitions or divestitures, reorganization or change in the capital structure of the Company, foreign exchange gains and losses, a change in the  fiscal year of the Company, business interruption events, unbudgeted capital expenditures, unrealized investment gains and losses, 

13

impairments, significant litigation or claim judgements or settlements, expenses directly levied on the business by government intervention , accruals for awards under the Plan and cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles. Performance measures may vary from Performance Stock Award to Performance Stock Award, Performance Unit Award to Performance Unit Award and from Participant to Participant and may be established on a stand-alone basis, in tandem or in the alternative.  The Committee will, in its sole discretion, designate within the first 90 days of a performance period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) the member or members of the Executive Group who will be eligible to receive a Performance Stock Award intended to be qualified performance-based compensation and the applicable measurement formula.   Performance measures may be expressed on an absolute basis or on a relative basis against a peer group or an index. Following the completion of a performance period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the performance goals for the performance period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing the amount of the performance-based compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the performance formula. The Committee shall have the discretion to decrease, but not increase, a performance determination from the formula amount.  For any Award (other than Options or SARs) subject to any such pre-established formula, the maximum number of Shares subject to any such Award granted in any calendar year shall be 500,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(f). Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(f), no Participant may receive Options and/or SARs under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to more than 800,000 Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall not be authorized to increase the number of Shares subject to any Award to which this Section 9(d) applies upon attainment of such pre-established formula. For any Cash Awards that are intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and are stated with reference to a specified dollar limit, the maximum amount that may be earned and become payable to any one Participant with respect to any twelve (12)-month performance period shall equal $5,000,000 (pro-rated up or down for performance periods that are greater or lesser than twelve (12) months). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if an Award is denominated in cash but an equivalent amount of Shares are delivered in lieu of delivery of cash, or the Award is denominated in Shares but an equivalent amount of cash is delivered in lieu of Shares, the foregoing limits shall be applied to the cash or Shares, as applicable, based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the cash into Shares or Shares into cash, as applicable, and (ii) any adjustment in the number of Shares or the amount of cash delivered to reflect actual or deemed investment experience shall be disregarded. If an Award that a Participant holds is cancelled or subject to a repricing within the meaning of the regulations under Code Section 162(m), the cancelled Award shall continue to be counted against the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted to the Participant in any calendar year as required under Code Section 162(m). The foregoing limits shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(f). 
(e)     Section 11 sets forth certain additional provisions that shall apply to Performance Stock and Performance Units. 

14

SECTION 10. Other Stock-Based Awards; Cash Awards
(a)     The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Participants such other Awards (including, without limitation, rights to dividends, dividend equivalents and units under the DSAP) that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 10 shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares (either actually or by attestation or by withholding by the Company), other securities, other Awards, or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine, the value of which consideration, as established by the Committee, shall, except in the case of Substitute Awards, not be less than the Fair Market Value of such Shares or other securities as of the date such purchase right is granted and shall be treated as an Option for purposes of the Plan. If the Committee intends that Other Stock-Based Awards granted under this Section 10 shall constitute or give rise to “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, such Award shall be structured in accordance with the requirements of Section 9, including the performance criteria set forth herein. 
(b)     The Committee is authorized (i) to grant to a Participant Shares as a bonus, (ii) to grant Shares or other Awards in lieu of other obligations of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate to pay cash or to deliver other property under this Plan or under any other plans or compensatory arrangements of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate, (iii) to use available Shares as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company, any Subsidiary or an Affiliate, and (iv) subject to any restrictions on repricings, to grant as alternatives to or replacements of Awards granted or outstanding under the Plan or any other plan or arrangement of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee and the overall limitation on the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Shares or other securities delivered to a Participant pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Plan shall be purchased for consideration, the Fair Market Value of which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of such Shares or other securities as of the date such purchase right is granted. 
(c)     The Committee also is authorized to grant to a Participant Cash Awards. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Cash Awards. Cash Awards may be granted as an element of or a supplement to any other Award under the Plan or as a stand-alone Cash Award. The Committee, on the date of grant of Cash Awards, may prescribe that the Cash Awards will be earned and become payable subject to such conditions as are set forth in the Award Agreement. If and to the extent deemed necessary by the Committee, Cash Awards granted to members of the Executive Group shall become payable upon the satisfaction of objectively determinable 

15

performance conditions based on the criteria described in Section 9(d) and shall be subject to the other requirements set forth in Section 9 so as to enable such Cash Awards to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” under the regulations promulgated under Code Section 162(m). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Cash Awards in payment of earned Awards and other compensation payable under the Plan or any other plans or compensatory arrangements of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate. Unless the Committee or the Award Agreement provides otherwise, Cash Awards shall be vested and payable upon the date of grant. 
SECTION 11. Effect of Termination of Employment on Awards. 
Except as otherwise provided by the Committee at the time an Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Stock or Performance Unit is granted or in any amendment thereto, if a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or any Affiliate or ceases to serve as a member of the Board (for the purposes of this Section 11, “termination”), then: 
(a) with respect to an Option or SAR: 
(i) subject to Section 11(a)(ii), if termination is by reason of the Participant’s Retirement or by reason of the Participant’s permanent and total disability, each Option and SAR held by the Participant shall continue to remain outstanding and shall become or remain exercisable and in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the expiration date of the Award; 
(ii) if termination is by reason of the death of the Participant, or if the Participant dies after Retirement or permanent and total disability as referred to in Section 11(a)(i), each Option and SAR held by the Participant shall become fully exercisable at the time of the Participant’s death (or, if later, at the time of the one year anniversary of the Option or SAR grant date (as applicable)) and may be exercised by the Participant’s Beneficiary at any time within a period of three years after death (but not after the expiration date of the Award); 
(iii) if termination of employment is for any reason other than as provided in Section 11(a)(i) or (ii), the Participant may exercise each Option and SAR held by the Participant within 90 days after such termination (but not after the expiration date of such Award) to the extent such Award was exercisable pursuant to its terms at the date of termination; provided, however, if the Participant should die within 90 days after such termination, each Option and SAR held by the Participant may be exercised by the Participant’s Beneficiary at any time within a period of one year after death (but not after the expiration date of the Award) to the extent such Award was exercisable pursuant to its terms at the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with regard to a Director eligible to receive an Option or SAR pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Plan (and subject to Section 12(g)), each Option or SAR held by the Director 

16

shall continue to remain outstanding and shall become or remain exercisable and in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the first anniversary of such termination; 
(b) with respect to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units: 
(i) subject to Section 11(b)(ii), if termination is by reason of the Participant’s Retirement or permanent and total disability, each Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit Award held by the Participant shall continue to remain outstanding and in full force and effect and any restrictions with respect to such Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award (as applicable) shall lapse in accordance with the terms of the Award; 
(ii) if termination is by reason of the Participant’s death, or if the Participant dies after Retirement or permanent and total disability as referred to in Section 11(b)(i), any and all restrictions with respect to each Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit Award held by the Participant shall lapse at the time of the Participant’s death (or, if later, at the time of the one year anniversary of the Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award (as applicable) grant date); 
(iii) if termination of employment is by reason other than as provided in Section 11(b)(i) or (b)(ii), any Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit Award held by the Participant that remains subject to restrictions shall be canceled as of such termination of employment and shall have no further force or effect; 
(c) with respect to Performance Stock and Performance Units: 
(i) if termination is by reason of the Participant’s Retirement or permanent and total disability, each Performance Stock Award and Performance Unit Award held by the Participant shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect and any restrictions with respect to such Performance Stock Award or Performance Unit Award (as applicable) shall lapse in accordance with the terms of the Award regardless of whether the Participant dies during such period; 
(ii) if termination of employment occurs prior to the expiration of any performance period applicable to a Performance Stock Award or Performance Unit Award (as applicable) and such termination is by reason of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive following the expiration of such performance period, a pro-rata portion of the number of Shares subject to the Performance Stock Award or Performance Unit Award (as applicable) with respect to which the restrictions would have otherwise lapsed notwithstanding the Participant’s death, determined based on the number of days in the performance period that shall have elapsed prior to 

17

such termination and the remainder of such Performance Stock Award or Performance Unit Award (as applicable) shall be canceled; and 
(iii) if termination of employment occurs prior to the expiration of any performance period applicable to a Performance Stock Award or Performance Unit Award and such termination is for any reason other than as provided in Section 11(c)(i) or (ii), any Performance Stock Award and any Award of Performance Units held by the Participant shall be canceled as of such termination of employment and shall have no further force or effect. 
SECTION 12 . General Provisions Applicable to Awards. 
(a)     Awards shall be granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may be required by applicable law. 
(b)     Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Award or any award granted under any other plan of the Company. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards, or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the Company, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 
(c)     Subject to the terms of the Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Company upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other Awards, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time of grant, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments; provided however that any dividend equivalents shall be subject to any vesting requirements applicable to the underlying award. 
(d)     No Award and no right under any Award shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or pursuant to Section 12(e). Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Award which has been fully exercised, earned or paid, as the case may be, and shall not preclude forfeiture of an Award in accordance with the terms thereof. 
(e)     A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or change a previous beneficiary designation at such times prescribed by the Committee by using forms and following procedures approved or accepted by the Committee for that purpose. If no Beneficiary designated by the Participant is eligible to receive payments or other benefits or exercise rights that are available under the Plan at the Participant’s death, the 

18

Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. 
(f)     All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
(g)     Unless specifically provided to the contrary in any Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s termination within the two (2) year period immediately following a Change in Control, (i) all Awards shall become fully exercisable, shall vest and shall be settled, as applicable, and any restrictions applicable to any Award shall automatically lapse and (ii) all Performance Stock Awards and Performance Unit Awards shall be considered to be earned at their target level; any restrictions with respect to the target number of Shares subject to a Performance Stock Award and Performance Unit Award shall lapse and any remaining Shares subject to such Performance Stock Award and Performance Unit Award shall be cancelled and shall have no further force or effect. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole.
(h)     Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan providing for the maximum term of an Award, in the event any Award would expire prior to exercise, vesting or settlement because trading in Shares is prohibited by law or by any insider trading policy of the Company, the term of the Award shall automatically be extended until thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such prohibitions to permit the Participant to realize the value of the Award, provided such extension with respect to the applicable Award (i) is permitted by law, (ii) does not result in a violation of Section 409A with respect to the Award, (iii) permits any Award that is intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code to continue to so qualify and (iv) does not otherwise adversely impact the tax consequences of the Award (such as for incentive stock options and related Awards). An Award Agreement may provide that the Award will be automatically, and without any action by the Participant, deemed exercised, by means of a “net exercise” procedure, immediately prior to the expiration of the Award if the then Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Common Stock at that time exceeds the exercise or purchase price or base value of the Award, in order to permit the Participant to realize the value of the Award. 

19

SECTION 13. Amendments and Termination. 
(a)    Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan, and subject to Section 17, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without (i) shareholder approval if such approval is required by the listed company rules of the New York Stock Exchange or (ii) the consent of the affected Participant, if such action would materially adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award, except to the extent any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination is made to cause the Plan to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as may be necessary to enable the Plan to achieve its stated purposes in any jurisdiction in a tax-efficient manner and in compliance with local rules and regulations. 
(b)     The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an Award, provided, however, that no such action shall impair the rights of any affected Participant or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, except to the extent any such action is made to cause the Plan to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations; and provided further that, except as provided in Section 5(d), no such action shall directly or indirectly, through cancellation and regrant or any other method, reduce, or have the effect of reducing, the exercise price of any Award established at the time of grant thereof and provided further, that the Committee’s authority under this Section 13(b) is limited in the case of Awards subject to Section 9(d), as set forth in Section 9(d). 
(c)     Except as noted in Section 9(d), the Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 5(d)) 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 dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. 
(d)     The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect. 
SECTION 14. Miscellaneous. 

20

(a)     No employee, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
(b)     The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares (actually or by attestation or by withholding by the Company), other securities or other Awards) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to take such other action (including, without limitation, providing for elective payment of such amounts in cash or Shares by the Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. 
(c)     Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
(d)     The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate or continue to serve as a member of the Board. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding the parties. The receipt of any Award under the Plan is not intended to confer any rights on the receiving Participant except as set forth in such Award. 
(e)     If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
(f)     Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
(g)     No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash or other securities shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. 

21

 (h)    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 events, in addition to applicable vesting conditions of an Award. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in the Award Agreement or otherwise applicable to the Participant, a termination of the Participant's for Cause, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Affiliates.
(i)    The Committee may from time to time establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying blue sky, securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company intends to grant Awards. Any sub-plans shall contain such limitations and other terms and conditions as the Committee determines are necessary or desirable. All sub-plans shall be deemed a part of the Plan, but each sub-plan shall apply only to the Participants in the jurisdiction for which the sub-plan was designed.
(j)    The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan.
(k)    No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
(l)    The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.
(m)    If any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.
(n)    Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).
(o)    The law of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state's conflict of law rules.
SECTION 15. Effective Date of the Plan. 

22

This Plan is effective on the date of its approval by the Company’s stockholders.  
SECTION 16. Term of the Plan. 
No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such date. 
SECTION 17. Section 409A of the Code. 
(a)     With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code (including but not limited to Awards of Restricted Stock Units held by Participants who are or who may become eligible for Retirement during the term of the Award), the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan shall be operated accordingly. If any provision of the Plan or any term or condition of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.
(b)     With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code (including Awards of Restricted Stock Units held by Participants who are or who may become eligible for Retirement during the term of the Award), notwithstanding Section 12(g) and unless specifically provided to the contrary in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, this paragraph 17(b) shall apply and shall supersede the provisions of Section 12(g) to the extent inconsistent therewith. 
(i) If at the time of such Change in Control, the transaction(s) constituting such Change in Control do not constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation, or change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation, as such terms are defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, any portion of the Award as to which the settlement date has not theretofore occurred shall remain outstanding and shall be settled on the applicable date(s) as specified in the Award Agreement. 
(ii) If the provisions of Section 17(b)(i) are invoked such that a Change in Control occurs and any portion of the Award continues to be outstanding thereafter, the value of the Award that remains outstanding shall be determined based on the value per common share of the Company implied by the Change 

23

in Control transaction and such value shall be paid in cash without interest on the applicable settlement date(s) for such Award, as specified in the Award Agreement. 
(c)     With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code (including Awards of Restricted Stock Units held by Participants who are or who may become eligible for Retirement during the term of the Award), if, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable pursuant to an Award Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company (or an Affiliate, as applicable) shall not pay any such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead accumulate such amount and pay it, without interest, on the first day of the seventh month following such separation from service or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant. 
(d)     With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code (including Awards of Restricted Stock Units held by Participants who are or who may become eligible for Retirement during the term of the Award), neither the Participant nor any creditor or beneficiary of the Participant shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under the Award Agreement to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.
