(c)Term and Timing of Exercise. Each Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will be exercisable in whole or in part, subject to the following conditions, unless determined otherwise by the Committee:
(i)The term of each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Certificate, but in no event shall the term thereof exceed ten (10) years from the date of its grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the last business day of the term of a Stock Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) or Stock Appreciation Right (i) the exercise of the Award is prohibited by applicable law or (ii) Shares may not be purchased or sold by certain employees or directors of the Company due to the “black-out period” of a Company policy or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the term of the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be extended for a period of thirty (30) days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement. Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing, an Award Certificate may provide that if on the last day of the term of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right the Fair Market Value of one Share exceeds the option or grant price per Share, the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or tandem Award, and the Award has not expired, the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on such day with payment made by withholding Shares otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right. In such event, the Company shall deliver to the Participant the number of Shares for which the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right was deemed exercised, less the number of Shares required to be withheld for the payment of the total purchase price for a Stock Option and required withholding taxes for both Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; provided, however, any fractional Share shall be settled in cash.
(ii)A Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will become exercisable at such times and in such manner as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Certificate, subject to the minimum vesting limitations of Section 4.10.
(iii)Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, and subject to the minimum vesting limitations of Section 4.10, upon the death, Disability, Normal Retirement or a Change in Control Termination of a Participant who has outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the unvested Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will fully vest. Unless the applicable Award Certificate or the remainder of this Section 4.3(c) provides otherwise, the Participant’s Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will lapse, and will not thereafter be exercisable, upon the earlier of (A) their original expiration date or (B) the date that is three (3) years after the date on which the Participant dies, incurs a Disability or retires due to Normal Retirement.
(iv)Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, and subject to the minimum vesting limitations of Section 4.10, upon the Termination of Employment of a Participant for any reason other than the Participant's death, Disability, Normal Retirement or a Change in Control Termination, if the Participant’s termination qualifies as Early Retirement, a pro rata portion of the Participant’s Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will vest so that the total number of vested Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant at Termination of Employment (including those that have already vested as of such date) will be equal to the total number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights originally granted to the Participant under the applicable Award multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the period of time (in whole months) that have elapsed since the date of grant, and the denominator of which is the number of months set forth in the applicable Award Certificate that is required to attain full 
9

vesting. Unless the Award Certificate provides otherwise, such Participant's Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will lapse, and will not thereafter be exercisable, upon the earlier of (A) their original expiration date or (B) the date that is three (3) years after the date of Termination of Employment.
(v)Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, upon the Termination of Employment of a Participant that does not meet the requirements of paragraphs (iii) or (iv) above, any unvested Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will be forfeited. Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, any Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that are vested as of such Termination of Employment will lapse, and will not thereafter be exercisable, upon the earlier of (A) their original expiration date or (B) the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of such Termination of Employment.
(vi)Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of a deceased Participant may be exercised only by the estate of the Participant or by the person given authority to exercise the Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights by the Participant's will or by operation of law. If a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised by the executor or administrator of a deceased Participant, or by the person or persons to whom the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right has been transferred by the Participant's will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, the Company will be under no obligation to deliver Shares or cash until the Company is satisfied that the person exercising the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is the duly appointed executor or administrator of the deceased Participant or the person to whom the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right has been transferred by the Participant's will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution.
(vii)A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Stock Option is subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Stock Option and will be exercisable only to the extent that the related Stock Option is exercisable. When either a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with each other is exercised, the tandem Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, shall expire.
(d)Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of a Stock Option must be paid in full when the Stock Option is exercised. Shares will be issued and delivered only upon receipt of payment. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer, or postal or express money order, provided that the format is approved by the Company or a designated third-party administrator. The Committee, in its discretion may also allow payment to be made by any of the following methods, as set forth in the applicable Award Certificate:
(i)Delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company or its agent, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver to the Company, within the typical settlement cycle for the sale of equity securities on the relevant trading market (or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Regulation T issued by the Federal Reserve Board), the amount of sale proceeds with respect to the portion of the Shares to be acquired having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the sum of the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid;
(ii)Subject to any requirements of applicable law and regulations, tendering (actually or by attestation) to the Company or its agent previously acquired Shares that have a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; or
(iii)Subject to any requirements of applicable law and regulations, instructing the Company to reduce the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued by such number of Shares as have in the aggregate a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid.
(e)Incentive Stock Options.    Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will be subject to the following additional conditions, limitations and restrictions:
(i)Eligibility.    Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary that is a subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company within the meaning of Code Section 424.
(ii)Timing of Grant.    No Incentive Stock Option will be granted under the Plan after the 10-year anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board or, if earlier, the date on which the Plan was approved by shareholders.
10

(iii)Amount of Award.    Subject to Section 5.3 of the Plan, no more than 10 million Shares may be available for grant in the form of Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date of grant) of the Shares with respect to which the Incentive Stock Options awarded to any Employee first become exercisable during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 (U.S.). For purposes of this $100,000 (U.S.) limit, the Employee's Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries will be aggregated. To the extent any Incentive Stock Option would exceed the $100,000 (U.S.) limit, the Incentive Stock Option will afterwards be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option to the extent required by the Code and underlying regulations and rulings.
(iv)Timing of Exercise.    If the Committee exercises its discretion in the Award Certificate to permit an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised by a Participant more than three months after the Participant has ceased being an Employee (or more than 12 months if the Participant is permanently and totally disabled, within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)), the Incentive Stock Option will afterwards be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option to the extent required by the Code and underlying regulations and rulings. For purposes of this paragraph (iv), an Employee's employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the Employee is on military leave, sick leave or another approved leave of absence if the period of leave does not exceed 90 days, or a longer period to the extent that the Employee's right to reemployment with the Company or a Subsidiary is guaranteed by statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the Employee's right to reemployment is not guaranteed by statute or contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to have ceased on the 91st day of the leave.
(v)Transfer Restrictions. In no event will the Committee permit an Incentive Stock Option to be transferred by an Employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any Incentive Stock Option awarded under this Plan will be exercisable only by the Employee during the Employee's lifetime.
(f)Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon exercise of a Participant's Stock Appreciation Rights, the Company will pay cash or Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, in the discretion of the Committee and as described in the Award Certificate. Cash payments will be equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price, for each Share for which a Stock Appreciation Right was exercised. If Shares are paid for the Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant will receive a number of whole Shares equal to the quotient of the cash payment amount divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise.
(g)No Repricing. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3 or in connection with a Change in Control, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards, or 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 without shareholder approval.
4.4  Annual Performance Bonuses.    The Committee may grant annual performance bonuses or other bonus compensation in its discretion outside the terms of this Plan. The Committee may grant Annual Performance Bonuses, intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code (to the extent the Committee so determines and such performance-based compensation exception continues to apply), under the Plan in the form of cash or Shares to the Reporting Persons that the Committee may from time to time select, in the amounts and pursuant to the terms and conditions that the Committee may determine and set forth in the Award Certificate, subject to the provisions below:
(a)Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may determine that Annual Performance Bonuses made to Covered Employees should be structured to be “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee action granting such Awards or the Award Certificates so provide, this Section 4.4 shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the applicable requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and related regulations, and the Plan shall be operated so that the Company may take a full tax deduction for Annual Performance Bonuses. If any provision of this Plan or any Annual Performance Bonus would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict.
(b)Performance Cycles. Annual Performance Bonuses will be awarded in connection with a twelve (12) month Performance Cycle, which will be the fiscal year of the Company.
11

(c)Eligible Participants.    Within ninety (90) days after the commencement of a Performance Cycle, the Committee will determine the Reporting Persons who will be eligible to receive an Annual Performance Bonus under the Plan. If an individual becomes a Reporting Person after this ninety (90) day period, the Committee may determine that such Reporting Person is eligible to receive a pro rata Annual Performance Bonus under the Plan.
(d)Performance Measures; Targets; Award Criteria.
(i)Within ninety (90) days after the commencement of the service period to which a Performance Cycle relates, the Committee will fix and establish in writing (A) the Performance Measures that will apply to that Performance Cycle; (B) the Target Bonus which may be earned by each Participant; and (C) subject to subsection (d) below, the criteria for computing the amount that will be paid with respect to each level of attained performance. The Committee will also set forth the minimum level of performance, based on the applicable Performance Measures, that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before any Annual Performance Bonus will be paid and the percentage of the Target Bonus that will become payable upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed the minimum required level.
(ii)The Committee, in its discretion, may, on a case-by-case basis, reduce, but not increase, the amount otherwise payable to any Covered Employee with respect to any given Performance Cycle, provided, however, that no reduction will result in an increase in the amount payable under any Annual Performance Bonus of another Covered Employee.
(e)Payment, Certification. No Annual Performance Bonus will be paid to any Reporting Person until the Committee certifies in writing the level of performance attained for the Performance Cycle in relation to the applicable Performance Measures. In applying Performance Measures, the Committee (i) shall make adjustments for events listed in Section 5.3 in accordance therewith and (ii) may, in its discretion, exclude the effect of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including, but not limited to the following, as set forth in the Award Certificate or action of the Committee granting the Award: the cumulative effect of changes in the law, regulations or accounting rules, and other items, all determined in accordance with GAAP (to the extent applicable and unless specified otherwise in the Award Certificate or action of the Committee granting the Award) and identified in financial statements, notes to the financial statements or discussion and analysis of management; asset write downs; litigation or claim judgments or settlements; any reorganization and restructuring programs; acquisitions or divestitures; and foreign exchange gains and losses; provided that the determination by the Committee that Performance Measures shall be adjusted for items in accordance with this clause (ii) shall be made no later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of any applicable Performance Cycle in respect of Annual Performance Bonuses awarded to Covered Employees.
(f)Form of Payment. Annual Performance Bonuses will be paid in cash, Shares or such other Awards as determined by the Committee. All such Performance Bonuses shall be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year (or, if later, following the end of the Company's fiscal year) in which such Performance Bonuses are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (as determined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), except to the extent that the Committee determines or a Participant has elected to defer payment under the terms of a duly authorized deferred compensation arrangement or Award, in which case the terms of such arrangement or Award shall govern.
(g)Acceleration.    Each Participant who is eligible to receive an Annual Performance Bonus with respect to a Performance Cycle during which a Change of Control occurs will, except as otherwise provided below, be deemed to have achieved a level of performance, as of the date of Change in Control, that would cause all (100%) of the Participant's Target Bonus to become payable at such times and in such manner as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if (i) a surviving entity maintains the Performance Cycle in which a Change in Control occurs, or otherwise provides for the payment of an Annual Performance Bonus based on the level of performance attained for such Performance Cycle in relation to the Performance Measures established for such Performance Cycle (including Performance Measures that were adjusted or modified as a result of the Change in Control) and (ii) the Annual Performance Bonus based on the level of performance attained for such Performance Cycle exceeds all (100%) of the Participant’s Target Bonus, then each Participant who is eligible to receive an Annual Performance Bonus with respect to such Performance Cycle shall receive an Annual Performance Bonus based on the level of performance attained for such Performance Cycle at such times and in such manner as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, or successor to the Committee. If a Participant’s employment is terminated before the end of the original Performance Cycle due to death, Disability, Normal Retirement, or by the Company without Cause, the Award payable to such Participant 
12

may, in the discretion of the Committee, be proportionately reduced based on the period of actual employment during the applicable Performance Cycle. Notwithstanding the above, the time and manner of any payments made pursuant to this Section 4.4(g) shall comply with Section 4.4(e) above.
4.5  Long-Term Performance Awards.    The Committee may grant long-term performance awards or other bonus compensation in its discretion outside the terms of this Plan. The Committee may grant Long-Term Performance Awards, intended to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code (to the extent the Committee so determines and such performance-based compensation exception continues to apply), under the Plan in the form of Performance Units, Restricted Units or Restricted Stock to any Employee who the Committee may from time to time select, in the amounts and pursuant to the terms and conditions that the Committee may determine and set forth in the Award Certificate, subject to the provisions below:
(a)Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may determine that Long-Term Performance Awards made to Covered Employees should be structured to be "performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee action granting such Award or the Award Certificates so provide, this Section 4.5 shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the applicable requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and related regulations with respect to Long-Term Performance awards made to Covered Employees, and the Plan shall be operated so that the Company may take a full tax deduction for Long-Term Performance Awards. If any provision of this Plan or any Long-Term Performance Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict.
(b)Performance Cycles.    Long-Term Performance Awards will be awarded in connection with a Performance Cycle, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, provided, however, that a Performance Cycle may be no shorter than twelve (12) months.
(c)Eligible Participants.    Within ninety (90) days after the commencement of a Performance Cycle, the Committee will determine the Employees who will be eligible to receive a Long-Term Performance Award for the Performance Cycle, provided that the Committee may determine the eligibility of any Employee other than a Covered Employee after the expiration of this ninety (90) day period.
(d)Performance Measures; Targets; Award Criteria.
(i)Within ninety (90) days after the commencement of the service period to which a Performance Cycle relates, the Committee will fix and establish in writing (A) the Performance Measures that will apply to that Performance Cycle; (B) with respect to Performance Units, the Target Amount payable to each Participant; (C) with respect to Restricted Units and Restricted Stock, the Target Vesting Percentage for each Participant; and (D) subject to subsection (d) below, the criteria for computing the amount that will be paid or will vest with respect to each level of attained performance. The Committee will also set forth the minimum level of performance, based on the applicable Performance Measures, that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before any Long-Term Performance Award will be paid or vest, and the percentage of Performance Units that will become payable and the percentage of performance-based Restricted Units or Shares of Restricted Stock that will vest upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed the minimum required level.
(ii)The Committee, in its discretion, may, on a case-by-case basis, reduce, but not increase, the amount of Long-Term Performance Awards otherwise payable to any Covered Employee with respect to any given Performance Cycle, provided, however, that no reduction will result in an increase in the dollar amount or number of Shares payable under any Long-Term Performance Award of another Covered Employee.
(e)Payment, Certification. Long-Term Performance Awards shall only be paid if the Committee certifies in writing the level of performance attained for the Performance Cycle in relation to the applicable Performance Measures. Long-Term Performance Awards awarded to Participants who are not Covered Employees will be based on the Performance Measures, or other applicable performance criteria, and payment formulas that the Committee, in its discretion, may establish for these purposes. These Performance Measures, or other performance criteria, and formulas may be the same as or different than the Performance Measures and formulas that apply to Covered Employees. In applying Performance Measures, the Committee (i) shall make adjustments for events listed in Section 5.3 in accordance therewith and (ii) may, in its discretion, exclude the effect of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including, but not limited to the following, as set forth in the Award Certificate or action of the Committee granting the Award: the cumulative effect of changes in the law, regulations or accounting rules, and other items, all determined in accordance with GAAP (to the extent applicable and unless specified otherwise in the Award 
13

Certificate or action of the Committee granting the Award) and identified in financial statements, notes to the financial statements or discussion and analysis of management; asset write downs; litigation or claim judgments or settlements; any reorganization and restructuring programs; acquisitions or divestitures; and foreign exchange gains and losses.; provided that the determination by the Committee that Performance Measures shall be adjusted for items in accordance with this clause (ii) shall be made no later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of any applicable Performance Cycle in respect of Long-Term Performance Awards awarded to Covered Employees.
(f)Form of Payment.    Long-Term Performance Awards in the form of Performance Units may be paid in cash or full Shares, in the discretion of the Committee, and as set forth in the applicable Award Certificate. Performance-based Restricted Units and Restricted Stock will be paid in full Shares. Payment with respect to any fractional Share will be in cash in an amount based on the Fair Market Value of the Share as of the date the Performance Unit becomes payable. All Long-Term Performance Awards shall be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year (or, if later, following the end of the Company’s fiscal year) in which such Long-Term Performance Awards are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), except to the extent that a Participant has elected to defer payment under the terms of a duly authorized deferred compensation arrangement, in which case the terms of such arrangement shall govern, or as otherwise provided in Section 4.5(g) below.
(g)Dividend Equivalents. At the discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the applicable Award Certificate, dividend equivalents may be earned on Long-Term Performance Awards denominated in Shares, but only to the extent, and shall be payable only at the same time, as the underlying Long-Term Performance Awards may become earned, vested, and payable.
(h)Special Vesting Provisions. Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, and subject to the minimum vesting limitations of Section 4.10, upon the death, Disability, Normal Retirement or a Change in Control Termination of a Participant who has an outstanding Long-Term Performance Award, the unvested Long-Term Performance Award will fully vest and be paid as if the Participant had continued in active employment with the Company through the date such Long-Term Performance Award would have vested and been paid in the absence of such event. Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, upon the Termination of Employment of a Participant for any reason other than the Participant's death, Disability, Normal Retirement or a Change in Control Termination, the unvested Long-Term Performance Award will be forfeited unless the Participant qualifies for Early Retirement, in which case (subject to the minimum vesting limitations of Section 4.10), a pro rata portion of the Participant’s Long-Term Performance Awards will vest and be paid as if the Participant had continued in active employment with the Company through the date such Long-Term Performance Award would have vested and been paid in the absence of such event; provided that the number of Long-Term Performance Awards held by the Participant which shall vest under those circumstances shall equal the total number of Long-Term Performance Awards in which such Participant would have vested multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the period of time (in whole months) that have elapsed since the date of grant, and the denominator of which is the number of total months set forth in the applicable Award Certificate for such Performance Period.
4.6  Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards (other than Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Annual Performance Bonuses or Long-Term Performance Awards) to any Employee who the Committee may from time to time select, which Awards consist of, or are denominated in, payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise related to, Shares. These Awards may include, among other forms, Restricted Stock, Restricted Units, or Deferred Stock Units. The Committee will determine, in its discretion, the terms and conditions that will apply to Awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.6, which terms and conditions will be set forth in the applicable Award Certificate.
(a)Vesting. Restrictions on Other Stock-Based Awards granted under this Section 4.6 will lapse at such times and in such manner as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Certificate, subject to the minimum vesting limitations of Section 4.10. Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, if the restrictions on Other Stock-Based Awards have not lapsed or been satisfied as of the Participant's Termination of Employment, the Shares will be forfeited by the Participant if the termination is for any reason other than the Normal Retirement, death or Disability of the Participant or a Change in Control Termination, except that the Award will vest pro rata with respect to the portion of the vesting term set forth in the applicable Award Certificate that the Participant has completed if the Participant qualified for Early Retirement (subject to the minimum vesting limitations of Section 4.10). All restrictions on Other Stock- Based Awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.6, subject to the minimum 
14

vesting limitations of Section 4.10, will lapse upon the Normal Retirement, death or Disability of the Participant or a Change in Control Termination.
(b)Grant of Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock to any Employee, which Shares will be registered in the name of the Participant and held for the Participant by the Company. The Participant will have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares, including the right to vote and to receive dividends or other distributions (subject to Section 4.6(e)), except that the Shares may be subject to a vesting schedule and will be forfeited if the Participant attempts to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the Shares before the restrictions are satisfied or lapse.
(c)Grant of Restricted Units.    The Committee may grant Restricted Units to any Employee, which Units will be paid in cash or whole Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, in the discretion of the Committee, when the restrictions on the Units lapse and any other conditions set forth in the Award Certificate have been satisfied. For each Restricted Unit that vests, one Share will be paid or an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date on which the Restricted Unit vests.
(d)Grant of Deferred Stock Units.    The Committee may grant Deferred Stock Units to any Employee, which Units will be paid in whole Shares upon the Employee's Termination of Employment if the restrictions on the Units have lapsed. One Share will be paid for each Deferred Stock Unit that becomes payable.
(e)Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. At the discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the applicable Award Certificate, dividends paid on Shares may, to the extent the underlying Award to which the Shares relate have become fully vested, be paid immediately or withheld and deferred in the Participant's account. In the event of a payment of dividends on the Ordinary Shares, the Committee may credit Restricted Units with Dividend Equivalents in accordance with terms and conditions established in the discretion of the Committee. Dividend Equivalents will be subject to such vesting terms as determined by the Committee and may be distributed immediately or withheld and deferred in the Participant's account as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Certificate. Deferred Stock Units may, in the discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the Award Certificate, be credited with Dividend Equivalents or additional Deferred Stock Units. The number of any Deferred Stock Units credited to a Participant’s account upon the payment of a dividend will be equal to the quotient produced by dividing the cash value of the dividend by the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the date the dividend is paid. The Committee will determine any terms and conditions on deferral of a dividend or Dividend Equivalent, including the rate of interest to be credited on deferral and whether interest will be compounded. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payment of any dividends, Dividend Equivalents or additional Deferred Stock Units granted with respect to an Award shall be subject to the same vesting or performance conditions, as applicable, as the underlying Award.
4.7  Director Awards.
(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the HRCC shall have the exclusive authority to issue awards to Directors who are not also employees of the Company or any Subsidiary (Director Awards), which may consist of, but not be limited to, Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, or Other Stock-Based Awards. Each Director Award shall be governed by an Award Certificate approved by the HRCC.
(b)The HRCC shall have the exclusive authority to administer Director Awards and shall have the authority set forth in Section 3.2 and the indemnification set forth in Section 7.7, solely as such provisions apply to the Director Awards. All determinations made by the HRCC hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive.
(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the aggregate grant date Fair Market Value (computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards granted to any Director during any single fiscal year (excluding Awards made at the election of the Director in lieu of all or a portion of annual and committee cash retainers) shall not exceed $750,000.00.
4.8  Substitute Awards.    The Committee may make Awards under the Plan to Acquired Grantees through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding stock-based awards previously granted to such Acquired Grantees. Such assumed or substituted Awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of the original awards made by the Acquired Company, with such adjustments therein as the Committee considers appropriate to give effect to the relevant provisions of any agreement for the acquisition of the Acquired Company. Any grant of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to this Section 4.8 will be made in accordance with Section 424 of the Code and any final regulations published thereunder.
4.9  Limit on Individual Grants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following limits of this Section shall apply only to the extent that the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of 
15

the Code continues to apply. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.3, no Employee may be granted more than six (6) million Shares over any calendar year pursuant to Awards of Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Long-Term Performance Awards in the form of performance-based Restricted Stock and Restricted Units intended to qualify as “performance-based” under Section 162(m) of the Code, except that an incentive Award of no more than ten (10) million Shares may be made pursuant to Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and performance-based Restricted Stock and Restricted Units intended to qualify as “performance-based” under Section 162(m) of the Code to any person who has been hired within the calendar year as a Covered Employee. The maximum amount that may be paid in cash pursuant to Annual Performance Bonuses or Long- Term Performance Awards paid in Performance Units or settled in cash and which are intended to qualify as “performance- based” under Section 162(m) of the Code to any one Employee is $15 million (U.S.) for any Performance Cycle of twelve (12) months. For any longer Performance Cycle, this maximum will be adjusted proportionally.
4.10  Minimum Vesting of Awards. Except with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the Shares authorized in Section 5.1(b) and except to the extent provided in Section 5.4, any Awards shall not provide for vesting which is any more rapid than immediate vesting on the first anniversary of the Award grant date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit acceleration of vesting of such Awards in certain events, including in the event of the Participant's death or Disability.
4.11  Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, if a Participant incurs a Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment for Cause, then all Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Annual Performance Bonuses, Long-Term Performance Awards, Restricted Units, Restricted Stock and Other Stock-Based Awards will immediately be cancelled. The exercise of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the payment of any Award may be delayed, in the Committee's discretion, in the event that a potential termination for Cause is pending. Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, if a Participant incurs a Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment for Cause, then the Participant will be required to deliver to the Company (i) Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, cash) equal in value to the amount of any profit the Participant realized upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right during the twelve (12) month period occurring immediately prior to the Participant’s Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment for Cause; and (ii) the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of Shares) the Participant received for Other Stock Based Awards (including Restricted Stock, Restricted Units and Deferred Stock Units) that vested during the period specified in (i) above. Unless the applicable award certificate provides otherwise, if, after a Participant’s Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment, the Committee determines in its sole discretion that while the Participant was a Company or Subsidiary employee or a Director, such Participant engaged in activity that would have been grounds for a Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment for Cause, then the Company will immediately cancel all Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Annual Performance Bonuses, Long-Term Performance Awards, Restricted Units, Restricted Stock and Other Stock-Based Awards and the Participant will be required to deliver to the Company (A) Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, cash) equal in value to the amount of any profit the Participant realized upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciate Right during the period that begins twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Participant’s Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment and ends on the date of the Committee’s determination that the Participant’s conduct would have constituted grounds for a Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment for Cause; and (B) the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of said shares) the Participant received for Other Stock Based Awards (including Restricted Stock, Restricted Units and Deferred Stock Units) that vested during the period specified in (A) above.

ARTICLE V
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; ADJUSTMENTS
5.1  Shares Available.
(a)The Shares issuable under the Plan will be authorized but unissued Shares, and, to the extent permissible under applicable law, Shares acquired by the Company, any Subsidiary or any other person or entity designated by the Company and held as treasury shares.
(b)Subject to the counting rules set forth in Section 5.2 and adjustment in accordance with Section 5.3, the total number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be issued under the Plan shall be 26,769,489.
(c)Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan in respect of no more than 10 million Shares.
5.2  Counting Rules.
16

(a)The total number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be issued under the Plan, as described in Section 5.1(b), shall be reduced by 1.61 Shares per each Share subject to an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Units, Deferred Stock Units, Performance Units or Other Stock-Based Awards, or as payment of an Annual Performance Bonus.
(b)The following Shares related to Awards under the Plan will again be available for issuance under the Plan:
(i)Shares related to Awards paid in cash; and
(ii)Shares related to Awards that expire, are forfeited or cancelled or terminate for any other reason without issuance of Shares and any Shares of Restricted Stock that are returned to the Company upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment or, if applicable, a Director’s Termination of Directorship (including, for clarity, at a rate of 1.61 Shares per each Share related to such an Award in the form of Restricted Stock, Restricted Units, Deferred Stock Units, Performance Units or Other Stock-Based Awards, or as payment of an Annual Performance Bonus).
(c)Any Shares issued in connection with Awards that are assumed, converted or substituted as a result of the acquisition of an Acquired Company by the Company or a combination of the Company with another company shall not count against the total number of Shares set forth in Section 5.1(b). Shares available under a stockholder approved plan of an Acquired Company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or a subsidiary prior to the transaction (subject to the stock exchange’s listing requirements)
5.3  Adjustments.    In the event of a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of a share split, reverse share split, share dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities or similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee shall make an appropriate adjustment to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. Any adjustment made by the Committee under this Section 5.3 will be conclusive and binding for all purposes under the Plan.
5.4  Change in Control.
(a)Acceleration. Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, (i) all outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will become exercisable as of the effective date of a Participant’s Change in Control Termination if the Awards are not otherwise vested, and all conditions will be waived with respect to outstanding Restricted Stock and Restricted Units (other than Long-Term Performance Awards) and Deferred Stock Units and (ii) each Participant who has been granted a Long-Term Performance Award that isoutstanding as of the date of such Participant’s Change in Control Termination will be deemed to have achieved a level of performance, as of the Change in Control Termination, that would cause all (100%) of the Participant's Target Amounts to become payable and all restrictions on the Participant's performance-based Restricted Units and Shares of Restricted Stock to lapse. Unless the Committee determines otherwise in its discretion (either when an Award is granted or any time thereafter), in the event that Awards outstanding as of the date of a Change in Control that are payable in Ordinary Shares of the Company will not be substituted with comparable awards payable or redeemable in shares of publicly-traded stock after the Change in Control, each such outstanding Award (A) will become fully vested (at target, where applicable) immediately prior to the Change in Control and (B)(i) each such Award that is a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price below the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Award will be settled in cash, without the Participant’s consent, for an amount equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award immediately prior to the Change in Control had such Award been exercisable or payable at such time, and (ii) each such Award that is a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise or grant price above the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Award may be cancelled with no payment without the Participant’s consent.
(b)Permissive Actions. In addition to the actions described in Section 5.4(a)(A) and (B), in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may take any one or more of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding Awards, without the consent of Participants: (i) the Committee may determine that outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be fully vested and exercisable and restrictions on Restricted Stock, Restricted Units, Deferred Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards shall lapse as of the date of the Change in Control or such other time (prior to a Participant’s Change in Control Termination) as the Committee determines; (ii) the Committee may require that a Participant surrender his or her outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for one or more payments by the Company, in cash or Ordinary Shares, as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Participant’s 
17

unexercised Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights exceeds the Exercise Price, if any, and on such terms as the Committee determines; (iii) after giving Participants an opportunity to exercise any outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Committee may terminate any or all unexercised Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights at such time as the Committee deems appropriate; (iv) the Committee may determine that Annual Performance Bonuses and/or Long-Term Performance Awards will be paid out at their target level, in cash or Ordinary Shares as determined by the Committee; or (v) the Committee may determine that Awards that remain outstanding after the Change in Control shall be converted to similar grants of, or assumed by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation or successor). Such acceleration, surrender, termination, settlement, payment or conversion shall take place as of the date of the Change in Control or such other date as the Committee determines. The Committee may specify how an Award will be treated in the event of a Change in Control either when the Award is granted or at any time thereafter.
5.5  Fractional Shares.    No fractional Shares will be issued under the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5(e) and unless otherwise provided by the Committee, if a Participant acquires the right to receive a fractional Share under the Plan, the Participant will receive, in lieu of the fractional Share, a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share on the date of settlement of the related Award.

ARTICLE VI 
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
6.1  Amendment.    The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board or authorized Board committee without the approval of shareholders of the Company, except that no material revision to the terms of the Plan will be effective until the amendment is approved by the shareholders of the Company. A revision is “material” for this purpose if it materially increases the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (other than an increase pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Plan), expands the types of Awards available under the Plan, materially expands the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, materially extends the term of the Plan, constitutes a repricing for which the terms of Section 4.3(g) require shareholder approval or is otherwise an amendment requiring shareholder approval pursuant to any law or the rules of any exchange on which the Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed for trading. No amendment of the Plan or any outstanding Award Certificate made without the Participant's written consent may adversely affect any right of a Participant with respect to an outstanding Award.
6.2  Termination. The Plan will terminate upon the earlier of the following dates or events to occur:
(a)The adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating the Plan; or
(b)The day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders as described in Section 1.2.
No Awards will be granted under this Plan after it has terminated. The termination of the Plan, however, will not alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of any person under any Award previously granted under the Plan without such person's consent. After the termination of the Plan, any previously granted Awards will remain in effect and will continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Certificate.

ARTICLE VII 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
7.1 Nontransferability of Awards. No Award under the Plan will be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or transfer, and no other persons will otherwise acquire any rights therein, except as provided below.
(a)Any Award may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.
(b)Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, all or any part of a Nonqualified Stock Option or Shares of Restricted Stock may be transferred to a family member without consideration. For purposes of this subsection (b), "family member" includes any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of the Participant, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Participant's household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent (50%) of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the 
18

Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests.
Any transferred Award will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and the applicable Award Certificate. The Participant or the Participant's estate will remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority. The Company may, in its sole discretion, disallow all or a part of any transfer of an Award pursuant to this Subsection 7.1(b) unless and until the Participant makes arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of any withholding tax. The Participant must immediately notify the Company, in the form and manner required by the applicable Award Certificate or as otherwise required by the Company, of any proposed transfer of an Award pursuant to this Subsection 7.1(b). No transfer will be effective until the Company consents to the transfer.
(c)Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, any Nonqualified Stock Option transferred by a Participant pursuant to subsection (b) may be exercised by the transferee only to the extent that the Award would have been exercisable by the Participant had no transfer occurred. The transfer of Shares upon exercise of the Award will be conditioned on the payment of any withholding tax.
(d)Restricted Stock may be freely transferred after the restrictions lapse or are satisfied and the Shares are delivered, provided, however, that Restricted Stock awarded to an affiliate of the Company may be transferred only pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an effective registration for resale under the Securities Act. For purposes of this subsection (d), "affiliate" will have the meaning assigned to that term under Rule 144.
(e)In no event may a Participant transfer an Incentive Stock Option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7.2  Withholding of Taxes.    The Committee, in its discretion, may require the satisfaction of a Participant's minimum tax withholding obligations by any of the following methods or any method as it determines to be in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides, has domicile or performs services.
(a)Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.    As a condition to the delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may require that the Participant, at the time of exercise, pay to the Company by cash, certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations. The Committee may also, in its discretion, accept payment of the minimum tax withholding obligations through any of the Exercise Price payment methods described in Section 4.3(d).
(b)Other Awards Payable in Shares.    The Participant shall satisfy the Participant's tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the release of restrictions on Restricted Units, Restricted Stock and Other Stock- Based Awards by payment to the Company in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order, provided that the format is approved by the Company or a designated third-party administrator. However, subject to any requirements of applicable law, the Company may also satisfy the Participant's minimum tax withholding obligations by other methods, including selling or withholding Shares that would otherwise be available for delivery.
(c)Cash Awards.    The Company may satisfy a Participant's tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the payment of any Award in cash by withholding cash from such payment.
7.3  No Implied Rights.    The establishment and operation of the Plan, including the eligibility of a Participant to participate in the Plan, will not be construed as conferring any legal or other right upon any Director for any continuation of directorship or any Employee for the continuation of employment through the end of any Performance Cycle or other period. The Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and in the Company's sole discretion, to discharge any individual or treat him or her without regard to the effect that discharge might have upon him or her as a Participant in the Plan.
7.4  No Obligation to Exercise Awards.    The grant of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise the Award.
7.5  No Rights as Shareholders.    A Participant who is granted an Award under the Plan will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Award unless and until certificates for the Shares underlying the Award are registered in the Participant's name and (other than in the case of Restricted Stock) delivered to the Participant. The right of any Participant to receive an Award by virtue of participation in the Plan will be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
19

7.6  Indemnification of Committee.    The Company will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each person made or threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person, or the executor or administrator of the person's estate, is or was a member of the Committee or an authorized delegate of the Committee including, for purposes of Director Awards, the HRCC.
7.7  No Required Segregation of Assets. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards granted pursuant to the Plan.
7.8  Nature of Payments.    All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services for the Company or a Subsidiary. Any gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan constitutes a special incentive payment to the Participant and will not be taken into account as compensation for purposes of any other employee benefit plan of the Company or a Subsidiary, except as the Committee otherwise provides. The adoption of the Plan will have no effect on Awards made or to be made under any other benefit plan covering an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or any predecessor or successor of the Company or a Subsidiary.
7.9  Securities Law Compliance.   Awards under the Plan are intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. If any provision of this Plan or any grant of an Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, that provision will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid conflict. No Participant will be entitled to a grant, exercise, transfer or payment of any Award if the grant, exercise, transfer or payment would violate the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any other applicable law.
7.10  Coordination with Other Plans. If this Plan provides a level of benefits with respect to Awards that differs from the level of benefits provided under the Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Severance Plan for U.S. Officers and Executives, the Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Change in Control Severance Plan for Certain U.S. Officers and Executives or the Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Severance Plan for U.S. Employees, then the terms of the plan that provides for the more favorable benefit to the Participant shall govern.
7.11 Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or an applicable Award Certificate to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7.11 shall apply to all Awards that are subject to Code Section 409A, but only with respect to the portion of such Award that is subject to Code Section 409A. To the extent the Committee (or HRCC with respect to Director Awards) determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Code Section 409A, the Award Certificate evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions required by Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and the Award Certificate will be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and the applicable regulations and rulings thereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee (or HRCC with respect to Director Awards) determines that any Award may be subject to Code Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or the applicable Award Certificate or adopt policies and procedures or take any other action or actions, including an action or amendment with retroactive effect, that the Committee (or HRCC with respect to Director Awards) determines is necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from the application of Code Section 409A or (ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
(a)Modifications to or Adjustments of Awards. Any modifications to an Award pursuant to Subsection 3.2(g) or adjustments of an Award pursuant to Subsections 4.8 or 5.3 shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
(b)Specified Employees. Payments to any Participant who is a “specified employee” of deferred compensation that is subject to Code Section 409A(a)(2) and that becomes payable upon, or that is accelerated upon, such Participant’s Termination of Employment (as modified by Subsection 7.12(b)(iv)), shall not be made on or before the date which is six (6) months following such Participant’s Termination of Employment (or, if earlier, such Participant’s death). A specified employee for this purpose shall be determined by the Committee or its delegate in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 409A and the regulations and rulings thereunder.
7.12  Section 457A Compliance. To the extent the Committee (or HRCC with respect to Director Awards) determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Code Section 457A, the Award Certificate evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions required by Code Section 457A in order to avoid accelerated taxation or tax penalties to the holder thereof in respect of such Award. To the extent applicable, the Plan and the Award Certificate will be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 457A and applicable guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee (or HRCC with respect to Director Awards) determines that any Award may be subject to Code Section 457A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or the applicable Award Certificate or adopt policies and procedures or take any other action or actions, including an action or amendment with retroactive effect, that the Committee (or HRCC with respect to Director Awards) determines is necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from the application of Code Section 457A or (ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 457A.
20

7.13  Governing Law, Severability.    The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken under the Plan will be governed by the law of Ireland and construed accordingly. If any provision of the Plan is held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other parts of the Plan, which parts will remain in full force and effect.

Isabella Bank Corporation (“Isabella”) and Isabella Bank (the “Bank” and collectively with Isabella and their Affiliates and successors, the “Company”) adopt this long-term equity incentive plan, to be called the Isabella Bank Corporation Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The primary purpose of the Plan is to promote the growth and profitability of the Company by attracting and retaining executive officers and key employees of outstanding competence through ownership of restricted equity that provides them with long-term incentives to achieve corporate objectives.
    1.2    Effective Date.  This Plan is effective as of the date on which it is executed by both Isabella and the Bank (the “Effective Date”), and will remain in effect until terminated by the Board.
ARTICLE II - DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply for the purposes of this Plan, unless a different meaning is plainly indicated by the context:
2.1    Affiliate.  “Affiliate” means any Person with whom Isabella or the Bank would be considered a single employer under Code Sections 414(b) or 414(c).
2.2    Award.  “Award” means the Board’s grant of Restricted Shares to a Grantee pursuant to Article III and an Award Agreement.
2.3    Award Agreement.  “Award Agreement” means, with respect to a particular Award, the written agreement between the appropriate Company and the Grantee implementing and setting forth the terms of the Award of Restricted Shares.
    2.4    Bank.  “Bank” is defined in Section 1.1.
    2.5    Board.  “Board” means the board of directors of Isabella.

stock of the relevant Company then the acquisition of additional shares of stock of the relevant Company by such Acquirer is not considered a change in the ownership of the relevant Company;
        b.    a change in the effective control of the relevant Company, whereby a majority of the Persons who were members of the Board (or of the board of directors of the relevant other Company) are, within a twelve (12) month period, replaced by individuals whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the Board prior to such appointment or election; or
        c.    a change in the ownership of the assets of the relevant Company, whereby an Acquirer acquires (or has acquired during a twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Acquirer) assets of the relevant Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the relevant Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided that there is no change in the ownership of the assets of the relevant Company if assets are transferred to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the relevant Company immediately after the transfer, nor is it a change in the ownership of the assets if the relevant Company transfers assets to:

        a.    the Grantee will perform no further services for the Company after the date on which the Grantee’s employment is terminated; or
        b.    the level of bona fide services that the Grantee would perform for the Company (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) after the date on which the Grantee’s employment is terminated will be permanently decreased to not more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the 36 consecutive-month period that immediately precedes the employment termination date or, if the Grantee has been providing services for less than 36 months, over the full period during which the Grantee provided services to the Company (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor).
        c.    No Separation from Service shall be deemed to occur due to military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six (6) months or, if longer, so long as the Grantee’s right to reemployment is provided by law or contract.  If the leave exceeds six (6) months and the Grantee’s right to reemployment is not provided by law or by contract, then the Grantee shall have a Separation from Service on the first date immediately following such six-month period.
    2.24    Shares.  “Shares” means shares of common stock of Isabella.
ARTICLE III - AWARDS
    3.1    Shares Available For Awards.  The maximum number of Shares available for all Awards under the Plan is 100,000.  Such number of Shares (a) shall be reduced by the number of Restricted Shares granted under the Plan that are not forfeited, (b) shall be increased by any Restricted Shares granted under the Plan that are forfeited, and (c) may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of Restricted Shares subject to outstanding Awards) at any time by action of the Board.  The Restricted Shares available under the Plan may be Shares of original issue, Shares acquired on the open market, or a combination of the foregoing.
    3.2    Grant of Awards.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, prior to the start of each Plan Year, the Company CEO shall submit to the Committee a list of eligible Company employees (and/or employee groups) for participation in the Plan for the upcoming Plan Year.  A new Company employee must be employed by October 1st in a given Plan Year in order to be eligible for an Award related to performance in that Plan Year; provided, however, said new employee shall only be eligible for a pro-rated Award.  The Board shall 
4

have sole authority to grant Awards of Restricted Shares under the Plan.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine the grant date, the number of Restricted Shares to be issued pursuant to the Award, the grant and vesting conditions that apply to the Restricted Shares, and such other terms and conditions of the Award and Award Agreement.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to restrict the right of the Board to grant any equity-based compensation to persons outside of the Plan.
    3.3    Notification and Acceptance of Award.  After the Board grants an Award, the Committee shall promptly notify the Grantee. The Grantee must indicate his or her acceptance of an Award by entering into an Award Agreement consistent with Section 3.4 within 10 days of receipt of notification of the Award, and must complete such other forms and documents as the Committee may request from time to time.  The Award otherwise granted shall automatically lapse at the expiration of such period if the documents required by the Committee have not been executed and returned.  The grant of an Award shall become effective as of the date specified in the Award Agreement.
    3.4    Award Agreements.  Each Award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form as the Committee from time to time may determine.  Each Agreement shall specify the grant date, the number of Restricted Shares to be issued pursuant to the Award, the grant and vesting conditions that apply to the Restricted Shares, and such other terms and conditions of the Award that are not inconsistent with the Plan.  Each Award Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan (which shall be deemed to be incorporated in each Award Agreement); provided that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Plan and the terms of the Award Agreement, the terms of this Plan shall control, except as specifically provided otherwise in this Plan.
    3.5    Issuance of Restricted Shares.  As soon as practicable following the date that it is determined that the Grantee has satisfied the performance objectives set forth in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than March 30 following the end of the Plan Year), Isabella shall cause the earned number of Restricted Shares granted to the Grantee in the Award to be issued and registered, evidencing Restricted Shares will be deposited with, and held by, the Company for the benefit of the Grantee until such Restricted Shares become vested or are forfeited.  It shall be a condition to issuance of earned Restricted Shares that the Grantee be actively employed with the Company on the Award payout date; provided however, the active employment requirement shall not apply to a Grantee who Separates from Service due to Retirement or terminates employment with the Company due to death or Disability prior to the Award payout date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the Committee’s consent Restricted Shares may be issued to or registered in the name of a personal investment or estate-planning vehicle established for the benefit of a Grantee and members of his or her immediate family; provided that with respect to any such Restricted Shares, all tax consequences associated with the grant of the Restricted Shares and all underlying vesting and other requirements with respect to such Award shall be calculated and determined by reference to the applicable Grantee in his or her individual capacity.
    3.6    Rights of Grantee.  No individual shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Restricted Shares covered by or relating to any Award Agreement until the issuance 
5

of and delivery of a stock certificate evidencing the vested Shares with respect to such Restricted Shares.  Upon issuance and delivery of a stock certificate evidencing the vested Shares, the Grantee will have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Restricted Shares, subject to the terms of this Plan and the Award Agreement.  This generally includes full and unrestricted voting rights in all matters on which holders of shares of the Company’s common stock may vote and the right to be paid dividends on the same terms as the Company’s other shareholders who hold shares of the same class as the Grantee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any dividends or other distributions on Restricted Shares are paid in Shares or other property, such Shares or other property shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement as if such Shares or other property were part of the original Award of Restricted Shares with respect to which they were distributed.
    3.7    Clawback.  An Award Agreement may specify conditions upon which the Grantee may forfeit an Award or Restricted Shares issued to the Grantee under the Award Agreement, or upon which the Company may recover, in whole or in part, the value of Restricted Shares issued to the Grantee that are no longer owned by the Grantee, in each case due to the inaccuracy of any financial results or other operating metrics or due to any other circumstance, as the Board or Committee may determine to be appropriate, in their discretion.
    3.8    Code Section 83(b) Elections.  If a Grantee makes an election pursuant to Code Section 83(b) with respect to an Award, the Grantee shall be required to promptly file a copy of such election with the Committee.
    3.9    Capital Adjustments.  The number and class of Restricted Shares that are issuable under an Award and the aggregate number, type and class of Shares with respect to which Awards thereafter may be made shall be subject to such adjustment, if any, as the Board deems appropriate, based on the occurrence of events specified below or such other events that the Board determines to require an adjustment.
1.If the number of Isabella’s outstanding Shares are increased, decreased or exchanged through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the property of Isabella, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other distribution in respect to such Shares, for a different number or type of shares of stock, or if additional shares or new or different shares of stock are distributed with respect to such Shares, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in: (i) the maximum number of Shares available for the Plan as provided in Section 3.1; (ii) the type of Shares or other securities available for the Plan; and (iii) the number of Restricted Shares that are issuable under an Award under the Plan.
2.If events not specified above in this Section 3.9, such as any extraordinary cash dividend, split-up, reverse split, spin-off, combination, exchange of Shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase Shares, or other similar corporate event, materially affect Restricted Shares that are issuable under an Award, the Board in its discretion may make adjustments to the number of Restricted Shares that are issuable under the Award if it determines such adjustment to be necessary to maintain the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided under the Award.
6

3.Generally, Restricted Shares that have already been issued under an Award will not require adjustment under this Section 3.9, but the Board may determine that an adjustment is appropriate under the circumstances, in its sole discretion.  If events described in this Section 3.9 result in the Grantee receiving an adjustment or otherwise receiving Shares or other property in exchange for or with respect to Restricted Shares, such Shares or other property shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement as if such Shares or other property were part of the original Award of Restricted Shares with respect to which they were distributed.
4.Any adjustment made by the Board pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.9 shall be final, binding and conclusive. A notice of such adjustment, including identification of the event causing such adjustment, the calculation method of such adjustment, and the change in price and the number of Restricted Shares that are issuable under the Award shall be sent to the affected Grantee.  No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan based on such adjustments.
ARTICLE IV - RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, VESTING, FORFEITURE
    4.1    Restrictions on Transfer.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, Restricted Shares granted under the Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated prior to the time that such Restricted Shares are vested or upon earlier satisfaction of other conditions as specified in the applicable Award Agreement.
    4.2    Vesting.  The Restricted Shares awarded in an Award shall be subject to any vesting schedule and other vesting conditions that are set forth in the Award Agreement for those Restricted Shares.  Except to the extent that an applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, all of the Restricted Shares awarded to a Grantee under this Plan shall automatically become 100% vested upon: (i) the Grantee’s Retirement; (ii) the Grantee’s involuntary Separation from Service without Cause; (iii) the Grantee’s death or Disability while an employee of the Company; or (iv) a Change in Control that occurs while the Grantee is an employee of the Company.  A Grantee’s Restricted Shares will not vest after the Grantee’s Separation from Service except to the extent that the Restricted Shares vest by reason of the Grantee’s Separation from Service; provided that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that a Grantee’s Restricted Shares may vest after the Grantee’s Separation from Service.
    4.3    Forfeiture.  A Grantee will forfeit all of the Grantee’s Restricted Shares as required by this Section 4.3, except to the extent that the Grantee’s Award Agreement(s) provides otherwise.
1.Unvested Restricted Shares.  A Grantee will forfeit all unvested Restricted Shares upon the Grantee’s Separation from Service under circumstances that do not result in the Grantee’s Restricted Shares becoming 100% vested under Section 4.2.
2.Vested and Unvested Credits.  A Grantee will forfeit 100% of his or her Restricted Shares, regardless of whether or not any portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Shares 
7

are vested or unvested, upon either: (i) the Grantee’s Separation from Service for Cause, or (ii) the Grantee’s material violation of any of the provisions of Section 7.9, regardless of whether such violation occurs before or after the Grantee’s Separation from Service.
None of a Grantee’s Restricted Shares will vest after the occurrence of a forfeiture event that occurs with respect to that Grantee; provided that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive a forfeiture event for a Grantee.
    4.4    Certificates for Shares. Certificates evidencing Restricted Shares will be deposited with, and held by, the Company for the benefit of the Grantee until such Restricted Shares become vested or are forfeited.  Upon vesting, subject to this Article IV, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Grantee a stock certificate or certificates evidencing the vested Shares, subject to the Company’s policies and procedures regarding the issuance of stock certificates. If any unvested Restricted Shares are forfeited, the certificate or certificates evidencing any such Restricted Shares shall be cancelled, and the Shares represented thereby shall be returned to the Company.
    4.5    Stock Legend. All certificates representing Restricted Shares that at any time are subject to the provisions of Sections 4.1 or 4.2 (as implemented in the relevant Award Agreement) will have endorsed upon them a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE INITIAL HOLDER OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK.  THE RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENT PROVIDE FOR FORFEITURE OF THE STOCK IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AND IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES.  COPIES OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENT ARE AVAILABLE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.
Isabella may, in the event it deems the same desirable to assure compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws, legend any certificate representing Restricted Shares issued pursuant to the Plan with an appropriate restrictive legend, and may also issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to such shares.
    4.6    Securities Matters and Regulations.  
        a.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligation of the Company to issue or deliver Restricted Shares with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.  The Committee may require, as a condition of the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing Restricted Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such agreements and 
8

representations, and that such certificates bear such legends, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable.
        b.    Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines that the listing, registration or qualification of Restricted Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange 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 grant of an Award or the issuance of Restricted Shares, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Restricted Shares issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
        c.    In the event that the disposition of Restricted Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Restricted Shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder, and the Committee may require a Grantee receiving Restricted Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Restricted Shares, to represent to the Company in writing that the Restricted Shares acquired by such Grantee is acquired by such Grantee for investment only and not with a view to distribution.
    4.7    Beneficiary.  A Grantee may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation.  If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary or if no designated beneficiary survives the Grantee, the Grantee’s estate shall be deemed to be the Grantee’s beneficiary.

    5.1    Committee.  The Plan will be administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) with assistance from the Company CEO and CFO as noted in this Article V.
    5.2    Committee’s Authority.  The Board retains the authority and discretion to determine eligibility for and participation in the Plan, to grant Awards and set or modify their terms, to approve Award Agreements, to increase or decrease the Committee’s authority under the Plan, and to amend and terminate the Plan and any Award Agreement in accordance with Article VI.  Subject to the foregoing and the other terms of the Plan, the Committee is responsible for the management and administration of the Plan and has all authority necessary or appropriate to carry out its responsibilities, including the authority to:

        h.    advise the Board if an extraordinary occurrence totally outside of management’s influence, be it a windfall or shortfall, has occurred during the current Plan Year and recommend to the Board whether performance objectives should be adjusted to neutralize the effects of such event(s); and
        i.    correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and/or any Award Agreement and to make all other determinations and take such other actions with respect to the Plan or any Award as the Committee may deem advisable to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or applicable law.
    5.3    CEO’s Responsibilities.    The Company CEO shall act as a liaison to the Committee, and have the following specific responsibilities:

2.provide recommendations to the Committee for incentive levels for all Grantees, other than the Company CEO.  In that regard, the CEO shall review the goals/objectives, adjust guideline Awards for performance and recommend final Awards to the Committee for its approval; and

10

    5.5    Effect of Action.  All questions of interpretation of the Plan, of any Award Agreement, or of any other form or other document employed in the administration of the Plan or of any Award shall be determined by the Committee, and such determination is final, binding and conclusive upon all interested Persons.  Any and all actions, decisions and determinations taken or made by the Board, the Committee, the Company CEO or Company CFO in the exercise of its discretion pursuant to the Plan, any Award Agreement or other agreement is final, binding and conclusive upon all interested Persons.
    5.6    Indemnity.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee and the Board, the Company CEO and Company CFO against any and all claims, loss, damage, expense or liability arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE VI - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
    Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Board reserves the exclusive right to freeze, amend or terminate the Plan and any Award Agreement at any time; provided that no freeze of, amendment to or termination of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be effective (except with the Grantee’s written consent) to adversely affect in a material way a Grantee’s rights to any Award or Restricted Shares.
ARTICLE VII - MISCELLANEOUS
    7.1    Status as an Employee Benefit Plan.  This Plan is not intended to satisfy the requirements for qualification under Code Section 401(a) or to satisfy the definitional requirements for an “employee benefit plan” under Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), but rather is intended to be a “top hat plan”. It is intended to be a non-qualified incentive compensation program that is exempt from the regulatory requirements of ERISA.  The Plan shall be construed and administered so as to effectuate this intent.
    7.2    Validity.  In case any provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan and the Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.
    7.3    Notices.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to any member of the Committee or the secretary of the Company.  Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.
    7.4    Successors.  The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.  The term “successors” as used in this Plan includes any corporate or other business entity that, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, acquires all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.
11

    7.5    Taxes; No Warranty.  Each Grantee who receives Restricted Shares acknowledges that the grant of Restricted Shares and the termination of transfer restrictions and conditions of forfeiture (or an election by the Grantee under Code Section 83(b)) may result in the imposition of federal, state, and local taxes upon the Grantee, and that the Company may be required to withhold amounts from the Grantee’s compensation as a result.  If a Grantee’s compensation is insufficient to permit the Company to perform the required withholding, the Grantee will pay sufficient cash amounts to the Company to permit the Company to perform the required withholding immediately upon request.  The Company makes no warranty, guarantee or projection of the future value of Restricted Shares or the tax consequences of the Plan, an Award or Restricted Shares, including the inclusion in or exclusion from federal, state or local taxes of the value of the Restricted Shares.  The Company has no obligation to take any action to increase or improve the value of Restricted Shares or to reduce or otherwise mitigate any tax consequences of the Plan, any Award or Restricted Shares to a Grantee.  Each Grantee is solely responsible for all income and other taxes, penalties and interest incurred by the Grantee in connection with the Plan, any Award and Restricted Shares, and agrees that the Grantee has no claim or cause of action against the Company with respect to any tax, penalties, or interest incurred by the Grantee, regardless of the reason for such incurrence.
    7.6    Required Regulatory Provision.  Any benefits provided to the Grantee pursuant to this Plan or otherwise are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with any applicable provisions of 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. Part 359 Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments and any other rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
    7.7    Governing Law.  The Plan and any Award Agreement are established under, and will be construed according to, the laws of the State of Michigan, to the extent such laws are not preempted by the ERISA or the Code and regulations published thereunder.
    7.8    No Reliance.  A Grantee shall not rely on oral statements of any person, including members of the Committee, with respect to any provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement.  A Grantee shall only rely on the written terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, and on written rules for the administration of the Plan formally adopted by the Committee.  The Board or the Committee may delegate authority in writing, and delegates may bind the Board, the Committee and the Company only to the extent of the written delegation.  A written statement signed by the majority of the members of the Board or the Committee is conclusive in favor of any Person acting in reliance on that statement.
    7.9    Restrictive Covenants.
        a.    General Rule.  In consideration of the granting of an Award and issuance of Restricted Shares, each Grantee agrees that, until the later of (i) two (2) years after the Grantee’s Separation from Service for any reason, and (ii) the date on which the Grantee is paid all amounts that are owed under this Plan, the Grantee will not, whether directly or indirectly as an owner, partner, limited partner, joint venture, shareholder, member, trustee, lender consultant, officer, director, independent contractor, employee or other agent of another Person: 
12

a.solicit, offer employment to, or take any other action intended (or that a reasonable person acting in like circumstances would expect) to have the effect of causing any officer or employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment and accept employment or otherwise become affiliated with, or provide services for compensation in any capacity whatsoever to, any business whatsoever that competes with the business of the Company which has headquarters or offices within 25 miles of any location(s) in which the Company has business operations or has filed an application for regulatory approval to establish an office (the “Restricted Territory”);
b.solicit, provide any information, advice or recommendation, or take any other action intended (or that a reasonable person acting in like circumstances would expect) to have the effect of causing any customer of the Company to terminate an existing business or commercial relationship with the Company; or
c.become directly or indirectly a more than 5% owner, lender, consultant, officer, director, independent contractor, employee or other agent of any savings bank, savings and loan association, savings and loan holding company, credit union, bank or bank holding company, insurance company or agency, mortgage or loan broker or any other entity that competes with the business of the Company, that: (i) has headquarters within the Restricted Territory, or (ii) has one or more offices, but is not headquartered, within the Restricted Territory, but in the latter case, only if the Grantee would be employed, conduct business or have other responsibilities or duties within the Restricted Territory.
        b.    Confidentiality.  In consideration of the granting of an Award and issuance of Restricted Shares, each Grantee agrees not, while employed by the Company or after Separation from Service for any reason, directly or indirectly, use or furnish to anyone (except as required in the ordinary course of performing the Grantee’s employment duties for the Company) any confidential information or trade secrets relating to the Company’s business (collectively “Confidential Information”), which Confidential Information includes information relating to the Company’s systems, processes, and rates; trade secrets; contracts with customers and vendors; design, production, sale, or distribution of any products and services; personnel and their compensation and employment arrangements; identity of, or products purchased by, or rates and prices paid by, customers and potential customers of the Company; and all other private matters pertaining to the Company.
        c.    Construction and Relief.  If a provision in this Section 7.9 is found by any court with jurisdiction to be too broad in duration, scope, or otherwise, then the court is to amend the offending provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it reasonable and enforceable, and the offending provision is to be fully enforceable as amended.
        d.    Remedies.  In consideration of the granting of an Award and issuance of Restricted Shares, each Grantee agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary and in addition to the Company’s other remedies at law and in equity, the Grantee will forfeit the Grantee’s entire interest in the Plan, each Award, and all Restricted Shares, effective upon the Grantee’s breach of this Section 7.9, regardless of whether the interest was previously vested.  In addition, the Company will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach 
13

of any provision of this Section 7.9 by the Grantee.  The Grantee agrees that damages for a breach of the provisions of this Section 7.9 would be difficult or impossible to determine and that the Company has no adequate remedy at law for such a breach, such that enforcement by specific performance is necessary in addition to the Grantee’s forfeiture and the award of any damages that are determinable.  A Grantee is liable to the Company for all costs and expenses, including actual attorney’s fees, that the Company incurs in enforcing any provision of this Section 7.9 or other provision of this Plan against the Grantee.
    7.10    No Right to Continued Employment.  Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement nor any action of the Board or the Committee with respect to the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be held or construed to confer upon any Grantee any right to continue in the service of the Company. The Company reserves the right to dismiss any Grantee or otherwise deal with any Grantee to the same extent as though the Plan and all Award Agreements had not been adopted.
    7.11    Section 409A Compliance.  The Plan as well as payments and benefits under the Plan are intended to be exempt from, or to be extent subject thereto, to comply with Code Section 409A, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, the Grantee shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of the Plan and no payment shall be due to the Grantee under the Plan or any Award until the Grantee would be considered to have incurred a “Separation from Service” from the Company within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent that any Awards are payable upon a Separation from Service and such payment would result in the imposition of any individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Code Section 409A, the settlement and payment of such Awards shall instead be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such Separation of Service (or death, if earlier).  Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Plan shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.  The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in this Plan will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to any such payment.  The Grantee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Code Section 409A.
ARTICLE VIII - EXECUTION
This Plan, together with each Grantee’s Award Agreement(s), sets forth the entire understanding of the Company and that Grantee with respect to the Restricted Shares to be provided by the Company to that Grantee under the Plan and the Award Agreement(s), and any previous agreements or understandings between the Company and that Grantee regarding the Award(s) are superseded by this Plan and the Grantee’s Award Agreement(s).
14

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, acting through its authorized officer, has adopted this Plan effective as of the Effective Date.
