affirmative action of the Committee (or its delegate) to participate in the Plan. 

        3.2    Power to Grant and Establish Terms of Options.    The Committee shall have the discretionary authority, subject
to the terms of the Plan, to determine the Employees to whom Awards shall be granted, the type or types of Awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of any and all Awards including, without
limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, the time or times at which Awards shall be granted, and the terms and conditions of applicable Award Agreements. The Committee may
establish different terms and conditions for different types of Awards, for different Participants receiving the same type of Award, and for the same Participant for each type of Award such
Participant may receive, whether or not granted at the same or different times. 

        3.3    Administration.    The Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan. Any Awards granted by
the Committee may be subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have discretionary authority
to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to provide for conditions deemed necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Company, to interpret the Plan and
to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration and interpretation of the Plan and to carry out its provisions and purposes. Any determination, interpretation or other
action made or taken (including any failure to make any determination or interpretation, or take any other action) by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, binding and
conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons and shall be given deference in any proceeding with respect thereto. 

        3.4    Delegation by the Committee.    All of the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Committee specified
herein may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be exercised and performed by a committee of two or more Company employees, which shall include the Company's Chief Executive Officer, to
the extent authorized by the Committee to exercise and perform such powers, duties and responsibilities; provided that, the Committee shall not delegate its authority with respect to the compensation
of any "officer" within the meaning of Rule 16(a)-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or any "covered employee" within the meaning of section 162(m)(3) of the Code. 

        3.5    Performance-Based Compensation.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, to the
extent the Committee determines on the grant date that an Award shall qualify as "other performance based compensation" within the meaning of section 162(m)(4) of the Code, the Committee shall
not exercise any subsequent discretion otherwise authorized under the Plan with respect to such Award if the exercise of the Committee's discretion would cause such award to fail to qualify as "other
performance based compensation." 

        3.6    Participants Based Outside the United States.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Committee, in order to conform with provisions of local laws and regulations in foreign countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate, shall have sole discretion to
(i) modify the terms and conditions of Awards granted to Participants employed outside the United States,
(ii) establish subplans with modified exercise procedures and such other modifications as may be necessary or advisable under the circumstances
presented by local laws and regulations, and (iii) take any action which it deems 

5

 

advisable
to obtain, comply with or otherwise reflect any necessary governmental regulatory procedures, exemptions or approvals with respect to the Plan or any subplan established hereunder. 

 
 

ARTICLE IV
  STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN    
    

        4.1    Number.    Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
available for Awards under the Plan and issuable in respect of outstanding awards granted under the Prior Plan shall not exceed 7,600,000 shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock to be
delivered under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of Common Stock held in treasury or authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, not reserved for any other purpose. 

        4.2    Canceled, Terminated, or Forfeited Awards, etc.    Shares subject to any Award granted hereunder or under the
Prior Plan that for any reason are canceled, terminated, forfeited, or otherwise settled without the issuance of Common Stock after the effective date of the Plan shall again be available for grant
under the Plan, subject to the maximum limitation specified in Section 4.1. Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1 hereof, (i)
shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company to satisfy any withholding obligation of a Participant pursuant to Section 12.4 shall not reduce the maximum share limitation specified in
Section 4.1 and shall again be available for grant under the Plan, (ii) shares of Common Stock tendered by a Participant to pay the exercise
price of any Options shall not reduce the maximum share limitation specified in Section 4.1 and shall again be available for grant under the Plan, and
(iii) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with Awards that are assumed, converted or substituted pursuant to an Adjustment Event or Change in
Control (i.e., Alternative Awards) will not further reduce the maximum limitation specified in Section 4.1. For purposes of this
Article IV, if a Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with an Option so that only one may be exercised with the other being surrendered on such exercise in accordance with
Section 5.7, the number of Shares subject to the tandem Option and Stock Appreciation Right award shall only be taken into account once (and not as to both awards). 

        4.3    Individual Award Limitations.    Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4, the following individual
Award limits shall apply: 

        (a)   During
the term of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for grant as ISOs pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed the maximum limitation
specified in Section 4.1; 

        (b)   During
any 36-month period, no Participant shall receive Options or Stock Appreciation Rights covering more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock; 

        (c)   During
any 36-month period, no Participant shall receive any Awards that are subject to performance measures covering more than 200,000 shares of Common
Stock; provided that this number of shares of Common Stock shall be proportionately adjusted on a straight-line basis for Performance Periods of shorter or longer duration, not to exceed
five years; and 

        (d)   During
any 36-month Performance Period, no Participant shall receive any Awards that are payable in cash of more than $5,000,000; provided that this dollar
amount shall be proportionately adjusted on a straight-line basis for Performance Periods of shorter or longer duration, not to exceed five years. 

        4.4    Adjustment in Capitalization.    In the event of any Adjustment Event affecting the Common Stock such that an
adjustment is required to preserve, or to prevent enlargement of, the benefits or potential benefits made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as the Committee shall deem
equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock which thereafter may be awarded or optioned and sold under the Plan
(including, without limitation, adjusting any limits on the number and types of Awards that may be made under the Plan), 

6

 

(ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant,
exercise or conversion price with respect to any Award. In addition, the Committee may make provisions for a cash payment to a Participant or a person who has an outstanding Award. The number of
shares of Common Stock subject to any Award shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. 

 
 

ARTICLE V
  STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS    
    

        5.1    Grant.    Options may be granted to Participants at such time or times as shall be determined by the Committee.
Options pursuant to this Plan may be of two types: (i) "incentive stock options" within the meaning of section 422 of the Code
("ISOs") and (ii) non-statutory stock options
("NSOs"), which are not ISOs. The grant date of an Option under the Plan will be the date on which the Option is awarded by the Committee or such other
future date as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the exercise price, the
duration of the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which the Option or any portion thereof shall become vested or exercisable, and such
other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine, including customary representations, warranties and covenants with respect to securities law matters. For
the avoidance of doubt, ISOs may only be granted to Employees who are treated as common law employees of the Company or any Subsidiary Corporation (as defined in section 424(f) of the Code). 

        5.2    Exercise Price.    Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall have an exercise price per share of Common
Stock determined by the Committee; provided that such per share exercise price may not be less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted. 

        5.3    Exercisability.    Each Option awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall become exercisable based on the
performance of a minimum period of service or the occurrence of any event or events, including a Change in Control, as the Committee shall determine, either at or after the grant date; provided that,
except as otherwise provided in this Plan, no Option shall become exercisable prior to a Participant's completion of one year of service to the Company or any Subsidiary. No Option shall be
exercisable on
or after the seventh anniversary of its grant date. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement or as determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, after
becoming exercisable each installment of an Option shall remain exercisable until expiration, termination or cancellation of the Option and, until such time, may be exercised from time to time in
whole or in part, up to the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which it is then exercisable. 

        5.4    Payment.    The Committee shall establish procedures governing the exercise of Options, which procedures shall
generally require that written notice of exercise thereof be given and that the exercise price thereof be paid in full at the time of exercise (i) in
cash or cash equivalents, including by personal check, or (ii) in accordance with such other procedures or in such other forms as the Committee shall
from time to time determine. The exercise price of any Options exercised may be paid in full or in part in the form of shares of Common Stock that have been owned by the Participant for at least six
months, based on the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise, subject to such rules and procedures as may be adopted by the Committee. As soon as practicable after
receipt of a written exercise notice and payment of the exercise price in accordance with this Section 5.4, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise thereof, bearing appropriate legends if applicable. Upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish from time to time,
a Participant may be permitted to defer the receipt of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of Options. 

7

 

        5.5    ISOs.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no term of this Plan relating to ISOs shall be
interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under section 422 of the Code or, without the consent
of any Participant affected thereby, to cause any ISO previously granted to fail to qualify for the Federal income tax treatment afforded under section 421 of the Code. 

        5.6    Prohibition Against Repricing.    Except to the extent (i)
approved in advance by holders of a majority of the shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, or (ii) as a result
of any Adjustment Event, the Committee shall not have the power or authority to reduce, whether through amendment or otherwise, the exercise price of any outstanding Option or to grant any new Options
in substitution for or upon the cancellation of Options previously granted. 

        5.7    Stock Appreciation Rights.    

        (a)    Grant.    Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants at such time or times as shall be determined
by the Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with Options which, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, shall have substantially
similar terms and conditions to such Options to the extent applicable, or may granted on a freestanding basis, not related to any Option. The grant date of any Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan
will be the date on which the Stock Appreciation Right is awarded by the Committee or such other future date as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. No Stock Appreciation Right shall
be exercisable on or after the seventh anniversary of its grant date. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced in writing, whether as part of the Award Agreement governing the terms of the
Options, if any, to which such Stock Appreciation Right relates or pursuant to a separate Award Agreement with respect to freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights, in each case, containing such
provisions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine, including customary representations, warranties and covenants with respect to securities law matters. 

        (b)    Exercise.    Stock Appreciation Rights awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall become exercisable based
on the performance of a minimum period of service or the occurrence of any event or events, including a Change in Control, as the Committee shall determine, either at or after the grant date; provided
that, except as otherwise provided in this Plan, no Stock Appreciation Right shall become exercisable prior to a Participant's completion of one year of service to the Company or any Subsidiary. Stock
Appreciation Rights that are granted in tandem with an Option may only be exercised upon the surrender of the right to exercise such Option for an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, and may
be exercised only with respect to the shares of Common Stock for which the related Option is then exercisable. 

        (c)    Settlement.    Subject to Section 12.4, upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant
shall be entitled to receive payment in the form, determined by the Committee, of cash or shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such cash amount, or a combination of shares of
Common Stock and cash having an aggregate value equal to such amount, determined by multiplying: 

        (i)    any
increase in the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the price fixed by the Committee on the grant date of such Stock
Appreciation Right, which may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date of such Stock Appreciation Right (except if awarded in tandem with a NSO but after the
grant date of such NSO, then not less than the exercise price of such NSO), by 

        (ii)   the
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised; 

provided,
however, that on the grant date, the Committee may establish, in its sole discretion, a maximum amount per share which will be payable upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right. Upon such
terms and conditions as the Committee may establish from time to time, a Participant may be permitted to defer the receipt of cash and/or shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of
a Stock Appreciation Right. 

8

  

        5.8    Termination of Employment.    

        (a)    Due to Death or Disability.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, if a
Participant's employment terminates by reason of such Participant's death or Disability, (i) any ISOs granted to such Participant shall become
immediately exercisable in full and may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary or legal representative) until the earlier of
(A) the twelve-month anniversary of the date of such termination, and (B) the expiration of the term of
such Options, and (ii) any NSOs and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to such Participant (including any ISOs that fail to retain their ISO status for
any reason) shall become immediately exercisable in full and, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary or legal
representative) until the twelve-month anniversary of the date of such termination of employment (even if such anniversary falls after the date on which such NSOs or Stock Appreciation Rights would
otherwise expire but for the operation of this Section 5.8). 

        (b)    Due to Retirement.    

        (i)    In General.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, if a Participant's
employment terminates due to his or her Retirement, the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary or legal representative) may exercise any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are
exercisable on the date of his or her Retirement until the earlier of (i) the twelve-month anniversary following the date of the Participant's
Retirement, and (ii) the expiration of the term of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are not
then exercisable shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination. 

        (ii)    Extension of Exercise Period.    Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of Section 5.8(b)(i), unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, if the Participant agrees to be bound by certain restrictive covenants, including customary non-competition,
non-solicitation, non-disclosure and non-disparagement covenants, during the three-year period following the Participant's Retirement,
(i) the Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to such Participant that are not exercisable on the date of his or her Retirement shall continue
to become exercisable in accordance with their respective terms during such three-year period as if such Participant's employment had not terminated due to his or her Retirement, and
(ii) the Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are exercisable on the date of the Participant's Retirement plus those Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights that become exercisable pursuant to the immediately preceding clause may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary or legal representative) until the
earlier of (A) (i) the third anniversary of the Participant's Retirement or
(ii) if the Participant dies prior to the third anniversary of the Participant's Retirement, the twelve-month anniversary following the date of the
Participant's death,
and (B) the expiration of the term of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon the expiration of such period, all Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights not previously exercised by the Participant shall be forfeited and canceled. If the Participant violates any such restrictive covenants during such three-year period, as determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to such Participant, whether or not then exercisable, shall be immediately forfeited and canceled as of the
date of such violation. 

        (c)    For Cause.    If a Participant's employment is terminated by the Company or any Subsidiary for Cause (or if,
following the date of termination of the Participant's employment for any reason, the Committee determines that circumstances exist such that the Participant's employment could have been terminated
for Cause), any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights 

9

 

granted
to such Participant, whether or not then exercisable, shall be immediately forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination. 

        (d)    For Any Other Reason.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, if a
Participant's employment is terminated for any reason other than one described in Section 5.8(a), (b) or (c), the Participant may exercise any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that
are exercisable on the date of such termination until the earlier of (i) the 60th day following the date of such termination, and
(ii) the expiration of the term of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are not exercisable upon
termination of a Participant's employment shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination. 

        5.9    Committee Discretion.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article V, the
Committee may, at or after the date of grant, accelerate or waive any conditions to the exercisability of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan, and may permit all or any
portion of any such Option or Stock Appreciation Right to be exercised following a Participant's termination of employment for any reason on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Board
shall determine for a period up to and including, but not beyond, the expiration of the term of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 

        5.10    Forfeiture.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, notwithstanding
anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, if, (i) during Participant's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary,
(ii) during any post-termination exercise period, or (iii) during the period ending one
(1) year after the expiration of any post-termination exercise period (the date such period expires, the "One-Year
Date"), the Participant, except with the prior written consent of the Committee, 

        (a)   directly
or indirectly, owns any interest in, operates, joins, controls or participates as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enters into the
employment of, acts as a consultant to, or
performs any services for any entity which has operations that compete with any business of the Company and the Subsidiaries in which the Participant was employed (in any capacity) in any jurisdiction
in which such business is engaged, or in which any of the Company and the Subsidiaries have documented plans to become engaged of which the Participant has knowledge at the time of the Participant's
termination of employment (the "Business"), except where (x) the Participant's interest or association
with such entity is unrelated to the Business, (y) such entity's gross revenue from the Business is less than 10% of such entity's total gross revenue,
and (z) the Participant's interest is directly or indirectly less than two percent (2%) of the Business; 

        (b)   directly
or indirectly, solicits for employment, employs or otherwise interferes with the relationship of the Company or any of its Affiliates with any natural person
throughout the world who is or was employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time during the Participant's employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary (in the case of any such activity during such time) or during the twelve-month period preceding such solicitation, employment or interference (in the case of any such activity after the
termination of the Participant's employment); 

        (c)   directly
or indirectly, discloses or misuses any confidential information of the Company or any of its Affiliate (such activities to be collectively referred to as
"Wrongful Conduct"), then 

any
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to the Participant hereunder, to the extent they remain unexercised, shall automatically terminate and be canceled upon the date on which the
Participant first engaged in such Wrongful Conduct and, in such case and in the case of the Participant's termination for Cause, the Participant shall pay to the Company in cash any Financial Gain the
Participant realized from exercising all or a portion of the Options and Stock Appreciation 

10

 

Rights
granted hereunder within the period commencing six (6) months prior to the termination of the Participant's employment and ending on the One-Year Date (such period, the
"Wrongful Conduct Period"). For purposes of this Section 5.10, "Financial Gain" shall equal, on
each date of exercise during the Wrongful Conduct Period, (I) with respect to Options, the excess of (A)
the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise and (ii) the Fair Market Value on the
date of sale of the Option shares, over (B) the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award (without
reduction for any shares of Common Stock surrendered or attested to), and (II) with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, the excess of
(A) the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, over (B) the exercise price, multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, each Award Agreement evidencing the grant of Options and/or Stock Appreciation
Rights shall provide for the Participant's consent to and authorization of the Company and the Subsidiaries to deduct from any amounts payable by such entities to such Participant any amounts the
Participant owes to the Company under this Section 5.10. This right of set-off is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against the Participant for the
Participant's breach of this Section 5.10. The Participant's obligations under this Section 5.10 shall be cumulative (but not duplicative) of any similar obligations the Participant has
under this Plan, any Award Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary. 

 
 

ARTICLE VI
  PERFORMANCE STOCK AND PERFORMANCE UNITS    
    

        6.1    Grant.    Performance Stock and Performance Units may be granted to Participants at such time or times as shall
be determined by the Committee. The grant date of any Performance Stock or Performance Units under the Plan will be the date on which such Performance Stock or Performance Units are awarded by the
Committee or on such other future date as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Performance Stock and Performance Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Performance Stock and the Performance Units pertain, the Restriction Period, and such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee
shall determine, including customary representations, warranties and covenants with respect to securities law matters. No shares of Common Stock will be issued at the time an Award of Performance
Units is made, and the Company shall not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such Award. 

        6.2    Vesting.    

        (a)    In General.    Performance Stock and Performance Units granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be subject
to a Restriction Period, which shall lapse upon the attainment of specified performance objectives or the occurrence of any event or events, including a Change in Control, as the Committee shall
determine, either at or after the grant date. No later than the 90th day after the applicable Performance Period begins (or such other date as may be required or permitted under
section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable), the Committee shall establish the performance objectives upon which the Restriction Period shall lapse. 

        (b)    Performance Objectives.    Any such performance objectives will be based upon the relative or comparative
achievement of one or more of the following criteria, or such other criteria, as may be determined by the Committee: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA"); earnings before interest, taxes and amortization ("EBITA"); total shareholder return; return
on the Company's assets; increase in the Company's earnings and/or earnings per share; revenue growth; share price performance; return on invested capital; operating income; pre- or
post-tax income; economic value added (or an equivalent metric); cash flow and/or cash flow per share; improvement in or attainment of expense levels; improvement in or attainment of
working capital levels; return on equity; and debt reduction. 

11

 

        (c)    Special Rules Relating to Performance Objectives.    Performance objectives may be established on a
Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more Company business units or divisions, or Subsidiaries; and either in absolute terms, relative to the performance of one or more similarly
situated companies, or relative to the performance of an index covering a peer group of companies. When establishing performance objectives for the applicable Performance Period, the Committee may
exclude any or all "extraordinary items" as determined under U.S. generally acceptable accounting principals including, without limitation, the charges or costs associated with restructurings of the
Company, discontinued operations, other unusual or non-recurring items, and the cumulative effects of accounting changes, and as identified in the Company's financial statements, notes to
the Company's financial statements or management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company's most recent annual report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. 

        (d)    Certification of Attainment of Performance Objectives.    The Restriction Period with respect to any
Performance Stock or Performance Units shall lapse upon the written certification by the Committee that the performance objective or objectives for the applicable Performance Period have been
attained. The Committee may provide at the time of grant that if the performance objective or objectives are attained in part, the Restriction Period with respect to a specified portion (which may be
zero) of the any Performance Stock or Performance Units will lapse. 

        (e)    Newly Eligible Participants.    Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the
Committee shall be entitled to make such rules, determinations and adjustments as it deems appropriate with respect to any Participant who becomes eligible to receive an Award of Performance Stock or
Performance Units after the commencement of a Performance Period. 

        6.3    Additional Provisions Relating to Performance Stock.    

        (a)    Restrictions on Transferability.    Except as provided in Section 12.1 or in an Award Agreement, no
Performance Stock may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the lapse of the Restricted Period. Thereafter, Performance Stock may only be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated in compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Award Agreement, and any other agreement to which the Performance Stock is
subject. The Committee shall require that any stock certificates evidencing any Performance Stock be held in the custody of the Secretary of the Company until the applicable Restriction Period lapses,
and that, as a condition of any grant of Performance Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the shares of Common Stock covered by such Award. Any
attempt by a Participant, directly or indirectly, to offer, transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Performance Stock or any interest therein or any rights relating thereto
without complying with the provisions of the Plan, including this Section 6.3, shall be void and of no effect. 

        (b)    Legend.    Each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock subject to an Award of Performance Stock shall be
registered in the name of the Participant holding such Performance Stock and shall bear the following (or similar) legend: 

        "THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) CONTAINED IN THE SIRVA, INC. OMNIBUS STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND THE
RELATED AWARD AGREEMENT AND NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY IT ARE ASSIGNABLE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH PLAN, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE
SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY." 

12

 

        (c)    Rights as a Stockholder.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, a
Participant holding outstanding Performance Stock shall be entitled to (i) receive all dividends and distributions paid in respect of the shares of
Common Stock underlying such Award; provided that, if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock or other securities, such shares and other securities shall be subject to
the same Restriction Period and other restrictions as apply to the Performance Stock with respect to which they were paid, and (ii) exercise full voting
rights and other rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Award during the period in which such shares remain subject to the Restriction Period. 

        6.4    Additional Provisions Relating to Performance Units.    

        (a)    Restrictions on Transferability.    Unless and until the Company issues a certificate or certificates to a
Participant for shares of Common Stock in respect of his or her Award of Performance Units, no Performance Units may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated.
Upon issuance of such certificate or certificates and if such shares of Common Stock remain subject to the Restriction Period, such shares shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.3
until the lapse of the Restriction Period. Any attempt by a Participant, directly or indirectly, to offer, transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Performance Units or any
interest therein or any rights relating thereto without complying with the provisions of the Plan, including this Section 6.4, shall be void and of no effect. 

        (b)    Rights as a Stockholder.    The Committee shall determine whether and to what extent Dividend Equivalents will
be credited to the account of, or to paid currently to, a Participant receiving an Award of Performance Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date,
(i) any cash dividends or distributions credited to the Participant's account shall be deemed to have been invested in additional Performance Units on
the record date established for the related dividend or distribution in an amount equal to the greatest whole number which may be obtained by dividing
(A) the value of such dividend or distribution on the record date by (B) the Fair Market Value of one
share
of Common Stock on such date. Any additional Performance Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable in respect of the Performance Units with respect to which such
dividends or distributions were payable, and (ii) if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock or other securities, such
shares of Common Stock and other securities shall be subject to the same Restriction Period and other restrictions as apply to the Performance with respect to which they were paid. Unless and until
the Company issues a certificate or certificates to a Participant for shares of Common Stock in respect of his or her Award of Performance Units, or otherwise determined by the Committee at or after
the grant date, a Participant holding outstanding Performance Units shall not be entitled to exercise any voting rights and any other rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock
underlying such Award. 

        (c)    Settlement of Performance Units.    Unless the Committee determines otherwise at or after the grant date, as
soon as reasonably practicable after the lapse of the Restriction Period with respect to any Performance Units then held by a Participant, the Company shall issue to the Participant a certificate or
certificates for the shares of Common Stock underlying such Performance Units (plus additional shares of Common Stock for each Performance Unit credited in respect of dividends or distributions) or,
if the Committee so determines in its sole discretion, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock. Upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish
from time to time, a Participant may be permitted to defer the receipt of the shares of Common Stock or cash otherwise deliverable upon settlement of Performance Units. 

13

 

        6.5    Termination of Employment.    

        (a)    Due to Death or Disability.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, if a
Participant's employment terminates by reason of such Participant's death or Disability, the Restriction Period on all of the Participant's Performance Stock and Performance Units shall lapse only to
the extent that the applicable performance objectives (pro rated through the date of termination) have been achieved through the date of termination. Any Performance Shares and Performance Units for
which the Restriction Period has not then lapsed shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination. 

        (b)    Due to Retirement.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, if a
Participant's employment terminates due to his or her Retirement, any Performance Stock and Performance Units for which the Restriction Period has not then lapsed shall be forfeited and canceled as of
the date of such termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5(b), if the Participant agrees to be bound by certain restrictive covenants, including
customary non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure and non-disparagement covenants, during the three-year period following the
Participant's Retirement, the Participant's Performance Stock and Performance Units shall not be forfeited and canceled to the extent that the applicable performance objectives for such Awards (pro
rated through the date of termination) have been achieved through the date of termination (the
"Retained Awards"). Any Performance Shares and Performance Units for which the applicable pro rated performance objectives have not been achieved shall
be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such retirement. Subject to the Participant's compliance with such covenants, the Restriction Period on the Retained Awards shall lapse upon completion of
the entire performance measurement period for such Retained Awards. If (I) the Participant violates any restrictive covenants during such
three-year period, or (II) if, following the date of the Participant's Retirement, circumstances exist such that the Participant's
employment could have been terminated for cause, in each case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, all Performance Stock and Performance Units for which the Restriction Period has
not then lapsed shall be immediately forfeited and canceled as of the date of such violation or termination. 

        (c)    For Any Other Reason.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, if a
Participant's employment is terminated for any reason other than one described in Sections 6.5(a) and (b), any Performance Stock and Performance Units granted to such Participant shall be immediately
forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination of employment. 

 
 

ARTICLE VII
  RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS    
    

        7.1    Grant.    Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Participants at such time or times as
shall be determined by the Committee. The grant date of any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units under the Plan will be the date on which such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are
awarded by the Committee or on such other future date as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that
shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Restricted Stock and the Restricted Stock Units pertain, the Restriction Period, and such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as the Committee shall determine, including customary representations, warranties and covenants with respect to securities law matters. No shares of Common Stock will be issued at the time an
Award of Restricted Stock Units is made and the Company shall not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such Award. 

        7.2    Vesting.    Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be
subject to a Restriction Period, which shall lapse upon the performance of a minimum period 

14

 

of
service, or the occurrence of any event or events, including a Change in Control, as the Committee shall determine, either at or after the grant date; provided that, except as otherwise provided in
this Plan, the Restriction Period on any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall not lapse prior to a Participant's completion of one year of service to the Company or any Subsidiary. 

        7.3    Additional Provisions Relating to Restricted Stock.    

        (a)    Restrictions on Transferability.    Except as provided in Section 12.1 or in an Award Agreement, no
Restricted Stock may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the lapse of the Restricted Period. Thereafter, Restricted Stock may only be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated in compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Award Agreement, and any other agreement to which the Restricted Stock is
subject. The Committee shall require that any stock certificates evidencing any Restricted Stock be held in the custody of the Secretary of the Company until the applicable Restriction Period lapses,
and that, as a condition of any grant of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the share covered by such Award. Any attempt by a
Participant, directly or indirectly, to offer, transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Stock or any interest therein or any rights relating thereto without complying
with the provisions of the Plan, including this Section 7.3, shall be void and of no effect. 

        (b)    Legend.    Each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock subject to an Award of Restricted Stock shall be
registered in the name of the Participant holding such Restricted Stock and shall bear the legend (or similar legend) as specified in Section 6.3(b). 

        (c)    Rights as a Stockholder.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date, a
Participant holding outstanding Restricted Stock shall be entitled to (i) receive all dividends and distributions paid in respect of shares of Common
Stock underlying such Award; provided that, if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock or other securities, such shares and other securities shall be subject to the same
Restriction Period and other restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid, and (ii) exercise full voting rights
and other rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Award during the period in which such shares remain subject to the Restriction Period. 

        7.4    Additional Provisions Relating to Restricted Stock Units.    

        (a)    Restrictions on Transferability.    Unless and until the Company issues a certificate or certificates to a
Participant for shares of Common Stock in respect of his or her Award of Restricted Stock Units, no Restricted Stock Units may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated. Upon issuance of such certificate or certificates and if such shares of Common Stock remain subject to the Restriction Period, such shares shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 7.3 until the lapse of the Restriction Period. Any attempt by a Participant, directly or indirectly, to offer, transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Restricted
Stock Units or any interest therein or any rights relating thereto without complying with the provisions of the Plan, including this Section 7.4, shall be void and of no effect. 

15

  

        (b)    Rights as a Stockholder.    The Committee shall determine whether and to what extent Dividend Equivalents will
be credited to the account of, or to paid currently to, a Participant receiving an Award of Restricted Stock Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date,
(i) any cash dividends or distributions credited to the Participant's account shall be deemed to have been invested in additional Restricted Stock Units
on the record date established for the related dividend or distribution in an amount equal to the greatest whole number which may be obtained by dividing
(A) the value of such dividend or distribution on the record date by (B) the Fair Market Value of one
share of Common Stock on such date, and such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable in respect of the Restricted Stock Units with respect
to which such dividends or distributions were payable, and (ii) if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock or other
securities, such shares and other securities shall be subject to the same Restriction Period and other restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. Unless and
until the Company issues a certificate or certificates to a Participant for shares of Common Stock in respect of his or her Award of Restricted Stock Units, or otherwise determined by the Committee at
or after the grant date, a Participant holding outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall not be entitled to exercise any voting rights and any other rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares
of Common Stock underlying such Award. 

        (c)    Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.    Unless the Committee determines otherwise at or after the grant date,
as soon as reasonably practicable after the lapse of the Restriction Period with respect to any Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall issue a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common
Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Unit (plus additional shares of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Units credited in respect of dividends or distributions) or, if the Committee so
determines in its sole discretion, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock. Upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish from time to time, a
Participant may be permitted to defer the receipt of the shares of Common Stock or cash otherwise deliverable upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units. 

        7.5    Termination of Employment.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the grant date,
(i) if a Participant's employment is terminated due to his or her death or Disability during the Restriction Period, a pro rata portion of the shares of
Common Stock underlying any Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units then held by such Participant shall no longer be subject to the Restriction Period, based on the number of months the
Participant was employed during the applicable installment period, and all Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units for which the Restriction Period has not then lapsed shall be forfeited and
canceled as of the date of such termination, and (ii) if a Participant's employment is terminated for any other reason during the Restriction Period,
any Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units held by such Participant for which the Restriction Period has not then expired shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such termination. 

 
 

ARTICLE VIII
  DEFERRED STOCK    
    

        8.1    In General.    Freestanding Deferred Stock may be granted to Participants at such time or times as shall be
determined by the Committee without regard to any election by the Participant to defer receipt of any compensation or bonus amount payable to him. The grant date of any freestanding Deferred Stock
under the Plan will be the date on which such freestanding Deferred Stock is awarded by the Committee or on such other future date as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. In addition,
on fixed dates established by the Committee and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, the Committee may permit a Participant to elect to defer receipt of all 

16

 

or
a portion of his annual compensation and/or annual incentive bonus ("Deferred Annual Amount") payable by the Company or a Subsidiary and receive in
lieu thereof an Award of elective Deferred Stock equal to the greatest whole number which may be obtained by dividing (i) the amount of the Deferred
Annual Amount, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of payment of such compensation and/or annual bonus. Deferred
Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Deferred Stock pertains, and such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as the Committee shall determine, including customary representations, warranties and covenants with respect to securities law matters. Upon the grant of Deferred Stock pursuant to the Plan, the
Company shall establish a notional account for the Participant and will record in such account the number of shares of Deferred Stock awarded to the Participant. No shares of Common Stock will be
issued to the Participant at the time an award of Deferred Stock Units is granted. 

        8.2    Rights as a Stockholder.    The Committee shall determine whether and to what extent Dividend Equivalents will
be credited to the account of, or paid currently to, a Participant receiving an Award of Deferred Stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee at or after the grant date,
(i) any cash dividends or distributions credited to the Participant's account shall be deemed to have been invested in additional Deferred Stock on the
record date established for the related dividend or distribution in an amount equal to the greatest whole number which may be obtained by dividing (A)
the value of such dividend or distribution on the record date by (B) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on such date, and such
additional Deferred Stock shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable in respect of the Deferred Stock with respect to which such dividends or distributions were payable, and
(ii) if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock or other securities, such shares and other securities shall be subject to
the same Restriction Period and other restrictions as apply to the Deferred Stock with respect to which they were paid. A Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder in respect of Deferred
Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan (including, without limitation, the right to vote on any matter submitted to the Company's stockholders) until such time as the shares of Common Stock attributable
to such Deferred Stock have been issued to such Participant or his beneficiary. 

        8.3    Restrictions on Transferability.    Unless and until the Company issues a certificate or certificates to a
Participant for shares of Common Stock in respect of his or her Award of Deferred Stock, no Deferred Stock may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated. Any
attempt by a Participant, directly or indirectly, to offer, transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Deferred Stock or any interest therein or any rights relating thereto
without complying with the provisions of the Plan, including this Section 8.3, shall be void and of no effect. 

        8.4    Vesting.    Unless the Committee provides otherwise at or after the grant date, the portion of each Award of
Deferred Stock that consists of freestanding Deferred Stock, together with any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect thereto, will be subject to a Restriction Period that shall lapse based on the
performance of a minimum period of service or the occurrence of any event or events, including a Change in Control, as the Committee shall determine, either at or after the grant date. Notwithstanding
the immediately preceding sentence, the Board may accelerate the lapse of the Restriction Period of any freestanding Deferred Stock at or after the grant date. The portion of each Award of Deferred
Stock that consists of elective Deferred Stock, together with any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect thereto, shall not be subject to any Restriction Period and shall be
non-forfeitable at all times. 

        8.5    Settlement.    Subject to Articles IX and XII, and the last sentence of Section 8.1, unless the
Committee determines otherwise at or after the grant date, the Company shall issue a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock underlying any of a Participant's freestanding Deferred
Stock (and related Dividend Equivalents) for which the Restriction Period shall have lapsed on or prior 

17

 

to
the date of such Participant's termination of employment with the Company and any Subsidiary, other than a termination for Cause, as soon as administratively practicable, but not later than
90 days, following the date of such termination of employment (or on such earlier date as the Committee shall permit or such later date as may be elected by the Participant in accordance with
the rules and procedures of the Board). In the event of the termination of a Participant's employment with the Company and the Subsidiaries for Cause, the Participant shall immediately forfeit all
rights with respect to any shares of freestanding Deferred Stock (and related Dividend Equivalents) credited to his account, whether or not the Restriction Period shall have then lapsed. Subject to
Articles IX and XII, and the last sentence of Section 8.1, unless the Committee determines otherwise at or after the grant date, the Company shall issue a certificate or certificates for the
shares of Common Stock underlying any of a Participant's elective Deferred Stock (and related Dividend Equivalents) credited to such Participant's account under the Plan as soon as administratively
practicable, but not later than 90 days, following the date of such Participant's termination of employment (or such later date as may be elected by the Participant in accordance with the rules
and procedures of the Committee). The Committee may provide in the Award Agreement applicable to any Award of Deferred Stock that, in lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock in settlement of any
Deferred Stock, the Committee may direct the Company to pay to the Participant the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock corresponding to such Deferred Stock in cash. For each share of
Common Stock received in settlement of Deferred Stock, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a certificate representing such share of Common Stock, bearing appropriate legends, if applicable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.5, the Committee may accelerate the distribution of any and all shares of Common Stock subject to any Award of Deferred Stock prior to
the time otherwise specified in this Section 8.5. 

        8.6    Further Deferral Elections.    A Participant may elect to further defer receipt of shares of Common Stock
issuable in respect of Deferred Stock (or an installment of an Award) for a specified period or until a specified event, subject in each case to the Committee's approval and to such terms as are
determined by the Committee, all in its sole discretion. Subject to any exceptions adopted by the Committee, such election must generally be made at least 12 months prior to the settlement of
such Deferred Stock (or any such installment thereof) whether pursuant to this Article VIII or Article IX. A further deferral opportunity does not have to be made available to all
Participants, and different terms and conditions may apply with respect to the further deferral opportunities made available to different Participants. 

 
 

ARTICLE IX
  CHANGE IN CONTROL    
    

        9.1    Accelerated Vesting and Payment.    

        (a)    In General.    Unless the Committee otherwise determines in the manner set forth in Section 9.2, upon
the occurrence of a Change in Control, (i) all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become exercisable,
(ii) the Restriction Period on all Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and freestanding Deferred Stock shall lapse immediately prior to such Change
of Control, (iii) shares of Common Stock underlying Awards of Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock shall be issued to each Participant then holding
such Award immediately prior to such Change in Control or, at the discretion of the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control)
(iv) each such Option, SAR, Restricted Stock Unit and/or Deferred Stock award shall be canceled in exchange for an amount equal to the product of
(A)(I) in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the excess, if any, of the product of the
Change in Control Price over the exercise price for such Award, and (II) in the case of other such Awards, the Change in Control Price, multiplied by
(B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Award. 

18

 

        (b)    Performance Stock and Performance Units.    In the event of a Change in Control,
(A) any Performance Period in progress at the time of the Change in Control for which Performance Stock or Performance Units are outstanding shall end
effective upon the occurrence of such Change in Control and (B) all Participants granted such Awards shall be deemed to have earned a pro rata award
equal to the product of (I) such Participant's target award opportunity with respect to such Award for the Performance Period in question and
(II) the percentage of performance objectives achieved as of the
date on which the Change in Control occurs or, at the discretion of the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control) (C) each
such Performance Unit shall be canceled in exchange for an amount equal to the product of (I) the Change in Control Price, multiplied by
(II) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Performance Unit. Any Performance Stock and Performance Units for which the
applicable pro rated performance objectives have not been achieved shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such Change in Control. 

        (c)    Timing of Payments.    Payment of any amounts calculated in accordance with Sections 9.1(a) and
(b) shall be made in cash or, if determined by the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control), in shares of the common stock of the New Employer having an aggregate
fair market value equal to such amount and shall be payable in full, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 30 days, following the Change in Control. For purposes hereof,
the fair market value of one share of common stock of the New Employer shall be determined by the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction constituting the
Change in Control), in good faith. 

        9.2    Alternative Awards.    Notwithstanding Section 9.1, no cancellation, termination, acceleration of
exercisability or vesting, lapse of any Restriction Period or settlement or other payment shall occur with respect to any outstanding Award (other than an award of Performance Stock or Performance
Units), if the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction constituting the Change in Control) reasonably determines, in good faith, prior to the Change in
Control that such outstanding Awards shall be honored or assumed, or new rights substituted therefor (such honored, assumed or substituted Award being hereinafter referred to as an
"Alternative Award") by the New Employer, provided that any Alternative Award must: 

        (i)    be
based on shares of Common Stock that are traded on an established U.S. securities market; 

        (ii)   provide
the Participant (or each Participant in a class of Participants) with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and
conditions applicable under such Award, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise or vesting schedule and identical or better timing and methods of payment; 

        (iii)  have
substantially equivalent economic value to such Award (determined at the time of the Change in Control); and 

        (iv)  have
terms and conditions which provide that in the event that the Participant suffers an involuntary termination within two years following the Change in Control any
conditions on the Participant's rights under, or any restrictions on transfer or exercisability applicable to, each such Award held by such Participant shall be waived or shall lapse, as the case may
be. 

        9.3    Termination of Employment Prior to Change in Control.    In the event that any Change in Control occurs as a
result of any transaction described in clause (c) or (e) of the definition of such term, any Participant whose employment is terminated due to death or Disability on or after the date,
if any, on which the shareholders of the Company approve such Change in Control transaction, but prior to the consummation thereof, shall be treated, solely for purposes of this Plan (including,
without 

19

 

limitation,
this Article IX), as continuing in the Company's employment until the occurrence of such Change in Control, and to have been terminated immediately thereafter. 

 
 

ARTICLE X
  STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS    
    

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Participant or Permitted Transferee shall have any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company
with respect to any Common Stock covered by any Award until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant for such Common Stock. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. 

 
 

ARTICLE XI
  EFFECTIVE DATE, AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION,
  AND TERMINATION OF PLAN    
    

        The Plan shall be effective upon its adoption by the Board and approval by a majority of the stockholders of the Company, and shall continue in effect, unless
sooner terminated pursuant to this Article XI, until the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by the Board (except as to Awards outstanding on that date). The Board or the
Committee may at any time terminate or suspend the Plan, and from time to time may amend or modify the Plan; provided that without the approval by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of
shareholders at which a quorum representing a majority of the shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors is present in person or by proxy, no amendment or
modification to the Plan may (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan,
(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.4, materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan or the
individual Award limitations specified in Section 4.3, or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan. No amendment,
modification, or termination of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, without the consent of the Participant. 

 
 

ARTICLE XII
  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS    
    

        12.1    Nontransferability of Awards.    No Award shall be assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution; provided that the Committee may permit (on such terms and conditions as it shall establish) in its sole discretion a Participant to transfer an Award for no consideration to
the Participant's 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,
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 of the beneficial
interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent of the
voting interests (individually, a "Permitted Transferee"). Except to the extent required by law, no Award shall be subject to any lien, obligation or
liability of the Participant. All rights with respect to Awards granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by such Participant or, if
applicable, his or her Permitted Transferee(s). The rights of a Permitted Transferee shall be limited to the rights conveyed to such Permitted Transferee, who shall be subject to and bound by the
terms of the agreement or agreements between the Participant and the Company. 

        12.2    Beneficiary Designation.    Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid or by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of his or 

20

 

her
death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in
writing with the Committee during his lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to or exercised by the Participant's
surviving spouse, if any, or otherwise to or by his or her estate. 

        12.3    No Guarantee of Employment or Participation.    Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way
the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment at any time, nor to confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any
Subsidiary. No Employee shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to receive any future Awards. 

        12.4    Tax Withholding.    The Company shall have the right and power to deduct from all amounts paid to a
Participant in cash or shares (whether under this Plan or otherwise) or to require a Participant to remit to the Company promptly upon notification of the amount due, an amount (which may include
shares of Common Stock) to satisfy the minimum federal, state or local or foreign taxes or other obligations required by law to be withheld with respect thereto with respect to any Award under this
Plan. In the case of any Award satisfied in the form of shares of Common Stock, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued unless and until arrangements satisfactory to the Committee shall have been
made to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding tax obligations applicable with respect to such Award. The Company may defer payments of cash or issuance or delivery of Common Stock until such
requirements are satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to retain, or the Committee may, subject to such terms and conditions as it may establish
from time to time, permit Participants to elect to tender, shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of an Award) to satisfy, in whole or in part, the amount
required to be withheld (provided that such amount shall not be in excess of the minimum amount required to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligations). 

        12.5    Compliance with Legal and Exchange Requirements.    The Plan, the granting and exercising of Awards
thereunder, and any obligations of the Company under the Plan, shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or
governmental agency as may be required, and to any rules or regulations of any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the granting and exercising of
Awards, the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock under any Award or any other action permitted under the Plan to permit the Company, with reasonable diligence, to complete such stock
exchange listing or registration or qualification of such Shares or other required action under any federal or state law, rule, or regulation and may require any Participant to make such
representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and
regulations. The Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision of the Plan to recognize the exercise of any Award or to otherwise sell or issue shares of Common Stock in violation of any
such laws, rules, or regulations, and any postponement of the exercise or settlement of any Award under this provision shall not extend the term of such Awards. Neither the Company nor its directors
or officers shall have any obligation or liability to a Participant with respect to any Award (or shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder) that shall lapse because of such postponement. 

        12.6    Indemnification.    Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any
claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be made a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all
amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him, provided he shall give 

21

 

the
Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive and shall be independent of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, by contract, as a
matter of law, or otherwise. 

        12.7    No Limitation on Compensation.    Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company to
establish other plans or to pay compensation to its employees, in cash or property, in a manner which is not expressly authorized under the Plan. 

        12.8    Deferrals.    The Committee may postpone the exercising of Awards, the issuance or delivery of Common Stock
under any Award or any action permitted under the Plan to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from being denied a Federal income tax deduction with respect to any Award other than an ISO. 

        12.9    Governing Law.    The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to principles of conflict of laws which would require application of the law of another jurisdiction, except to the extent that the corporate law of the State of Delaware
specifically and mandatorily applies. 

        12.10    Severability; Blue Pencil.    In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Plan shall be or
become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby. If, in the opinion of any
court of competent jurisdiction such covenants are not reasonable in any respect, such court shall have the right, power and authority to excise or modify such provision or provisions of these
covenants as to the court shall appear not reasonable and to enforce the remainder of these covenants as so amended. 

        12.11    No Impact On Benefits.    Except as may otherwise be specifically stated under any employee benefit plan,
policy or program, no amount payable in respect of any Award shall be treated as compensation for purposes of calculating a Participant's right under any such plan, policy or program. 

        12.12    No Constraint on Corporate Action.    Nothing in this Plan shall be construed
(i) to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Company's right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets or (ii) to limit
the right or power of the Company, or any Subsidiary to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate. 

        12.13    Headings and Captions.    The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only,
shall not be considered part of this Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of this Plan.

W I T N E S S E T H:  

        WHEREAS, to motivate key employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company and the Subsidiaries by providing them an ownership interest in the
Company, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has established and the shareholders of the Company have approved, the SIRVA, Inc. Omnibus
Stock Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, (the "Plan"); and 

        WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee") has authorized the grant to the Grantee of
non-qualified stock options to purchase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the signature page hereof (each, a "Share" and,
collectively, the "Shares"), at the exercise price per Share listed on Schedule A hereto under the heading "Exercise Price;" and 

        WHEREAS,
the Grantee and the Company desire to enter into an agreement to evidence and confirm the grant of such stock options on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, to evidence the stock options so granted, and to set forth the terms and conditions governing such stock options, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    Certain Definitions.    Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in
the Plan. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

        (a)   "Aggregate Exercise Price" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6 hereof. 

        (b)   "Alternative Award" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 9(c) hereof.

        (a)    Confirmation of Grant.    The Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Grantee, effective as of
the date hereof, of Options to purchase the number of Shares specified on the signature page hereof under the heading "Options." The Options are not intended to be incentive stock options under the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This Agreement is subordinate to, and the terms and conditions of the Options granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan,
which are incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. 

        (b)    Exercise Price.    Each Share covered by an Option shall have the Exercise Price specified on Schedule A hereto
under the heading "Exercise Price" , subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. 

        3.    Exercisability.    

        (a)    Options.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(a) of this Agreement and subject to the continuous
employment of the Grantee with the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries until the applicable vesting date, the Options shall become vested as specified on Schedule A hereto under the heading

Option, all Options or any class of Options, at any time and from time to time. Shares covered by vested Options may, subject to the provisions hereof, be purchased at any time and from time to time
on or after the date the corresponding Options become vested in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 until the date one day prior to the date on which such Options terminate. 

        4.    Termination of Options.    

        (a)    Normal Expiration Date.    Subject to Sections 4 and 7, the Options shall terminate and be canceled on the
Normal Expiration Date. 

        (b)    Early Termination.    

        (i)    Except
as provided in this Section 4 and Section 7, if the Grantee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any
reason prior to the Normal Expiration Date, any Options held by the Grantee that have not become vested on or before the effective date of such termination of employment shall terminate and be
canceled immediately upon such termination of employment. For purposes of the Plan, all Options held by the Grantee on the effective date of such termination of employment that shall have become
vested on or before such effective date shall be referred to as the "Covered Options." 

        (ii)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the provisions of Section 7, following a termination of Grantee's employment by reason of such
Grantee's death or disability, all of the Grantee's Options (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall become immediately exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable solely until the
twelve-month anniversary of the date of such termination of employment (even if such anniversary falls after the Normal Expiration Date), and shall automatically terminate and be canceled upon the
expiration of such period. 

2

 

        (iii)  Subject
to the provisions of Section 7, following a termination of Grantee's employment by reason of the Grantee's Retirement, the Covered Options shall remain
exercisable until the first to occur of (A) the twelve-month anniversary following the date of such Grantee's Retirement, or
(B) the Normal Expiration Date; provided that, if the Grantee agrees to be bound by certain restrictive covenants, including customary non-competition,
non-solicitation, non-disclosure and non-disparagement covenants, then during the three-year period following the Grantee's Retirement, the Covered Options shall remain exercisable until the earlier
of (1) the third anniversary of the Grantee's Retirement or, if the Grantee dies prior to the third anniversary of his Retirement, the twelve-month anniversary following the date of the Grantee's
death and (2) the Normal Expiration Date; and any Options that are not Covered Options shall continue to become exercisable in accordance with their respective terms during such three-year period as
if the Grantee's employment had not terminated due to his Retirement, and shall automatically terminate and be canceled upon the earlier of (x) the
expiration of whichever of such periods is applicable and (y) the material breach by the Grantee of any of such covenants. 

        (iv)  Subject
to the provisions of Section 7, if the Grantee's employment is terminated for any reason other than (x)
Retirement, (y) death or Disability or (z) for Cause, the Covered Options shall remain exercisable
solely until the first to occur of (A) the 60th day following the date of such termination and (B) the
Normal Expiration Date, and shall automatically terminate and be canceled upon the expiration of whichever of such periods is applicable. 

        (v)   Notwithstanding
anything else contained in this Agreement, if the Grantee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated for Cause (or if, following the
date of termination of the Grantee's employment for any reason, the Committee determines that circumstances exist such that the Grantee's employment could have been terminated for Cause), all Options
(whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall automatically terminate and be canceled immediately upon such termination. 

        (c)    Forfeiture.    By accepting these Options, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Options have been
granted as an incentive to the Grantee to remain employed by the Company and the Subsidiaries, and to use his or her best efforts to enhance the value of the Company and the Subsidiaries over the
long-term. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if, (A) during the Grantee's employment with the Company
or any Subsidiary, (B) during any post-termination option exercise period, or (C) during the period
ending one (1) year after the expiration of any post-termination option exercise period (the date such period expires, the "One-Year Date"), the
Grantee, except with the prior written consent of the Committee, 

        (i)    directly
or indirectly, owns any interest in, operates, joins, controls or participates as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enters into the
employment of, acts as a consultant to, or performs any services for any entity which has operations that compete with any business of the Company and the Subsidiaries in which the Grantee was
employed (in any capacity) in any jurisdiction in which such business is engaged, or in which any of the Company and the Subsidiaries have documented plans to become engaged of which the Grantee has
knowledge at the time of the Grantee's termination of employment (the "Business"), except where (x) the
Grantee's interest or association with such entity is unrelated to the Business, (y) such entity's gross revenue from the Business is less than 10% of
such entity's total gross revenue, and (z) the Grantee's interest is directly or indirectly less than two percent (2%) of the Business; 

        (ii)   directly
or indirectly, solicits for employment, employs or otherwise interferes with the relationship of the Company or any of its Affiliates with any natural person
throughout 

3

 

the
world who is or was employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time during the Grantee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary (in
the case of any such activity during such time) or during the twelve-month period preceding such solicitation, employment or interference (in the case of any such activity after the termination of the
Grantee's employment); or 

        (iii)  directly
or indirectly, discloses or misuses any confidential information of the Company or any of its Affiliate (such activities to be collectively referred to as
"Wrongful Conduct"), then 

all
Options granted hereunder, to the extent they remain unexercised, shall automatically terminate and be canceled immediately upon the date on which the Grantee first engaged in such Wrongful
Conduct and, in such case and in the case of the Grantee's termination for Cause, the Grantee shall pay to the Company in cash any Financial Gain the Grantee realized from exercising all or a portion
of the Options granted hereunder within the period commencing six (6) months prior to the termination of the Grantee's employment and ending on the One-Year Date (such period, the
"Wrongful Conduct Period"). For purposes of this Section 4(c), "Financial Gain" shall equal, on each
date of exercise during the Wrongful Conduct Period, the excess of (x) the greater of (I) the Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise and (II) the Fair Market Value on the date of sale of the Exercise Shares, over
(y) the Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise (without reduction for any shares of
Common Stock surrendered or attested to). By executing this Option Agreement, the Grantee hereby consents to and authorizes the Company and the Subsidiaries to deduct from any amounts payable by such
entities to the Grantee any amounts the Grantee owes to the Company under this Section 4(c). This right of set-off is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against the Grantee for the
Grantee's breach of this Agreement. The Grantee's obligations under this Section 4(c) shall be cumulative (but not duplicative) of any similar obligations the Grantee has under this Agreement or
pursuant to any other agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary. 

        5.    Restrictions on Exercise; Non-Transferability of Options.    

        (a)    Restrictions on Exercise.    Once vested in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Options may
be exercised only with respect to full shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Options may not be
exercised in whole or in part, and no certificates representing Shares shall be delivered, (i) unless all requisite approvals and consents of any
governmental authority of any kind having jurisdiction over the exercise of the Options shall have been secured, and (ii) unless Section 5(c) shall have
been satisfied. 

        (b)    Non-Transferability of Options.    The Options may be exercised only by the Grantee or, following his death, by
the Grantee's estate. The Options are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including without limitation by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of
the Grantee upon the Grantee's death, provided that the deceased Grantee's beneficiary or the representative of the Grantee's estate shall acknowledge and agree in writing, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if such beneficiary or the estate were the Grantee. 

        (c)    Withholding.    Whenever Shares are to be issued pursuant to the Options, the Company may require the recipient
of the Shares to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy the statutory minimum U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding requirements as a condition to the
issuance of such Shares. In the event any cash is paid to the Grantee or the Grantee's estate or beneficiary pursuant to Section 7 hereof or Article IX of the 

4

 

Plan,
the Company shall have the right to withhold an amount from such payment sufficient to satisfy the statutory minimum U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding requirements. The
Committee may, in its discretion, require or permit the Grantee to elect, subject to such conditions as the Committee shall impose, to meet such obligations by having the Company withhold the least
number of Shares having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy all or part of the Grantee's estimated total statutory minimum U.S. federal, state, and local and non-U.S. tax obligation with respect
to the issuance of Shares upon exercise of Options. 

        6.    Manner of Exercise.    To the extent that any outstanding Options shall have become and remain vested and
exercisable as provided in Sections 3 and 4 and subject to such reasonable administrative regulations as the Committee may have adopted, such Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, by notice
to the Secretary of the Company in writing given at least 5 business days prior to the date as of which the Grantee will so exercise the Options (the "Exercise
Date"), specifying the number of whole Shares with respect to which the Options are being exercised (the "Exercise Shares") and
the aggregate Exercise Price for such Exercise Shares. On or before the Exercise Date, the Grantee (i) shall deliver to the Company full payment for the
Exercise Shares in United States dollars in cash, or cash equivalents satisfactory to the Company, and in an amount equal to the product of the number of Exercise Shares, multiplied by the Exercise
Price (such product, the "Aggregate Exercise Price") and (ii) the Company shall deliver to the Grantee a
certificate or certificates representing the Exercise Shares and registered in the name of the Grantee. In lieu of tendering cash, the Grantee may tender shares of Common Stock that have been owned by
the Grantee for at least six months, having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price or may deliver a combination of cash and such shares of Common
Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the difference between the Aggregate Exercise Price and the amount of such cash as payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, subject to such rules
and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee to provide for the compliance of such payment procedure with applicable law, including Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company may require the
Grantee to furnish or execute such other documents as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary (i) to evidence such exercise and
(ii) to comply with
or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws or any other law. 

        7.    Change in Control.    

        (a)    Options.    Subject to Section 7(c), in the event of a Change in Control, all of the Options outstanding
immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction constituting the Change in Control (regardless of whether such Options are at such time otherwise vested or exercisable) shall become
exercisable or, at the discretion of the Committee, any or all of such Options shall be canceled in exchange for a payment in accordance with Section 7(b) of an amount equal to the product of
(i) the Change in Control Price over the Exercise Price, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of
Shares covered by all such Options immediately prior to the Change in Control. 

        (b)    Timing of Option Cancelation Payments.    Payment of the amount calculated in accordance with Section 7(a)
shall be made in cash or, if determined by the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control), in shares of the common stock of the New Employer having an aggregate fair market
value equal to such amount and shall be payable in full, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 30 days, following the Change in Control. For purposes hereof, the fair market
value of a share of common stock of the New Employer shall be determined by the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control), in good faith. 

        (c)    Alternative Options.    Notwithstanding Sections 7(a) and 7(b), no cancellation, termination, acceleration of
exercisability or vesting or settlement or other payment shall occur with respect to any Option if the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the 

5

 

consummation
of the transaction constituting the Change in Control) reasonably determines, in good faith, prior to the Change in Control that the Options shall be honored or assumed, or new rights
substituted therefor (such honored, assumed or substituted Option being hereinafter referred to as an "Alternative Option") by the New Employer,
provided that any Alternative Options must: 

        (i)    be
based on shares of voting capital stock that are traded on an established U.S. securities market; 

        (ii)   provide
the Grantee with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights and entitlements applicable under the terms of the Options
immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction constituting the Change in Control, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise and vesting schedule and identical or better
timing and methods of exercise or payment; 

        (iii)  have
substantially equivalent economic value to the Options (determined at the time of the Change in Control); and 

        (iv)  have
terms and conditions which provide that in the event that the Grantee suffers an involuntary termination within two years following a Change in Control any
conditions on the Grantee's rights under, or any restrictions on transfer or exercisability applicable to, each such Alternative Option shall be waived or shall lapse, as the case may be. 

        8.    No Rights as Stockholder.    The Grantee shall have no voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company
with respect to any Shares covered by the Options until the exercise of the Options and the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Grantee for such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. 

        9.    Capital Adjustments.    Subject to the terms of the Plan, in the event of any Adjustment Event affecting the
Common Stock such that an adjustment is required to preserve, or to prevent enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits made available to the Grantee under the Plan or this Agreement, then the
Committee shall, in such manner as the Committee shall deem equitable, adjust any or all of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Options and the grant, exercise or conversion price with
respect to such Options. In addition, the Committee may make provision for a cash payment to the Grantee. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Option shall be rounded to the nearest
whole number. 

        10.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)    Notices.    All notices and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall

beneficiary taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto or beneficiary hereof of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach and no failure by a party or beneficiary to exercise any right or privilege hereunder
shall be deemed a waiver of such party's or beneficiary's rights or privileges hereunder or shall be deemed a waiver of such party's or beneficiary's rights to exercise the same at any subsequent time
