obligations under Section ‎7.2:

Notice. Each Party will notify

for which indemnification may be sought hereunder. In the event
that any Third Party asserts a claim or other proceeding (including
any governmental investigation) with respect to any matter for
which a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) is entitled to
indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), then the
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Party obligated to
indemnify the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) thereof;
provided,
however, that no
delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the
Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the
Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

 

b.

Control. The Indemnifying Party
shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Indemnified
Party within ten Business Days after receipt of notice from the
Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third
Party Claim, to assume direction and control of the defense,
litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of the Third
Party Claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for
monetary consideration) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying
Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party;
provided that (a)
the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the
reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount
of any adverse monetary judgment that is sought, (b) the Third
Party Claim seeks solely monetary damages and (c) the Indemnifying
Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be
solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in
full (the conditions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above
are collectively referred to as the “Litigation Conditions”). Within
ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party has given
notice to the Indemnified Party of its exercise of its right to
defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give notice
to the Indemnifying Party of any objection thereto based upon the
Litigation Conditions. If the Indemnified Party reasonably so
objects, the Indemnified Party shall continue to defend the Third
Party Claim, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, until such
time as such objection is withdrawn. If no such notice is given, or
if any such objection is withdrawn, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to assume direction and
control of such defense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying
Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. During
such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and
shall cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate upon request of
the Indemnifying Party, in the defense or prosecution of the Third
Party Claim, including by furnishing such records, information and
testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings,
hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the
Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does
not satisfy the Litigation Conditions or does not notify the
Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to
defend any Third Party Claim within ten Business Days after notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the
Indemnifying Party) undertake the defense thereof with counsel of
its choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (including
reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and
expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to join
in (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine
witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not
control, at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim
that the other party is defending as provided in this Termination
Agreement.

 

c.

Settlement. The Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement that
commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any
action. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive
right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions
as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party
Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief, but shall
not have the right to settle such Third Party Claim to the extent
such Third Party Claim involves monetary damages without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Each of the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party shall not make any admission of
liability in respect of any Third Party Claim without the prior
written consent of the other party, and the Indemnified Party shall
use reasonable efforts to mitigate liabilities arising from such
Third Party Claim.

occurrence and in the aggregate. Insurance shall be procured with

From and after the
Termination Agreement Date, the Transferred Assets will be deemed

9.2

No press release or
public announcement, written or oral, related to this Termination
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or to the existence
of any arrangement between the Parties shall be issued or made by
any Party (or any Affiliate of a Party) without the joint approval
of Palatin and AMAG (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld), unless required by Law or the listing requirements of
the Nasdaq (on the reasonable advice of counsel) in which case
Palatin and AMAG shall have the right to review such press release,
announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or
publication to the extent reasonably practicable. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party and its
Affiliates may provide general information about the subject matter

variation or derivative thereof, in any press release, public
announcement or similar public document or communication relating
to the transactions contemplated by this Termination Agreement
without the express written consent of the other Party. If either
Party, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that this
Termination Agreement, or any of the Ancillary Agreements, must be
publicly filed with a Governmental Authority, then such Party,
prior to making any such filing, shall provide the other party and
its counsel with a redacted version of this Termination Agreement
(and any other Ancillary Agreement) which it intends to file, and
will give due consideration to any comments provided by the other
Party or its counsel and use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain confidential treatment by such Governmental Authority of
such portions of this Termination Agreement as may be reasonably
requested by the other Party or its counsel.

10.4

No Strict Construction;
Headings. This Termination Agreement has been prepared
jointly by the Parties and shall not be strictly construed against
either Party. Ambiguities, if any, in this Termination Agreement shall
not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may
be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision. The headings of
each Article and Section in this Termination Agreement have been
inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to
limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the
particular Article or Section and shall be of no force or effect in
construing or interpreting any of the provisions of this
Termination Agreement.

 

10.5

Assignment. Neither this
Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall be assignable by a Party
without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as
follows: (a) a Party may assign its rights and obligations under
this Agreement by way of sale of itself or the sale of the entire
portion of its business to which this Agreement relates, through
merger, sale of assets or sale of stock or ownership interest,
provided that the
assignee shall expressly agree to be bound by such Party’s
obligations under this Agreement and that such sale is not
primarily for the benefit of its creditors, (b) such Party may
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of
its Affiliates, provided that the assignee shall expressly agree to
be bound by such Party’s obligations under this Agreement and
that such Party shall remain liable for all of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall promptly notify
the other Party of any assignment or transfer under the provisions
of this Section 10.5. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and permitted assigns of the Parties and the name of a
Party appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of such
Party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent
necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Any assignment
not in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be void. For the
avoidance of doubt, neither the consent of or notice to AMAG shall
be required in connection with any sale, transfer, license or other
disposition of the Transferred Assets or any rights of Palatin
relating thereto; provided, however, that such sale,
transfer, license or other disposition shall not release Palatin
from its obligations with respect to such Transferred Assets under
this Agreement.

 

10.6

Performance by Affiliates. Each
Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any right
hereunder through any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby
guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s
obligations under this Termination Agreement, and
shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this
Termination
Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a
Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations
under this Termination Agreement shall
be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed
directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed
against such Party’s Affiliate.

 

10.7

Further Actions. Each Party
agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further
instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this
Termination
Agreement.

 

 

9

 

 

10.8

Force Majeure. Each Party shall
be excused from the performance of its obligations under this
Termination Agreement to the extent that such performance is
prevented by force majeure (as defined below) and the nonperforming
Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other
Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition
constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party
takes commercially reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For
purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure” shall
include conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including an
act of God, voluntary or involuntary compliance with any
regulation, law or order of any government, war, act of terror,
civil commotion, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, pandemic,
failure or default of public utilities or common carriers,
destruction of production facilities or materials by fire,
earthquake, storm or like catastrophe.

 

10.9

Severability. If any one or
more of the provisions of this Termination Agreement or
portion thereof is for any reason held to be invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no
appeal can be or is taken, the same shall be considered severed
from this Termination Agreement and
shall not affect or serve to invalidate any remaining provisions
hereof, as it is the intent of the Parties that this Termination
Agreement shall be construed in such fashion as to maintain its
existence, validity and enforceability to the greatest extent
possible. In any such event, this Termination Agreement shall be
construed as if such provision of portion thereof had never been
contained in this Termination Agreement, and there shall be deemed
substituted therefor such provision as will most nearly carry out
the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Termination
Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, unless
the Parties elect to make a good faith effort to replace any
invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one
such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering
this Termination
Agreement may be realized.

 

10.10

No Waiver. Any delay in
enforcing a Party’s rights under this Termination Agreement or any
waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not
constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future
enforcement of its rights under this Termination Agreement, except
with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a
particular matter for a particular period of time. No provision of
this Termination Agreement shall be waived by any act, omission or
knowledge of a Party or its agents or employees except by an
instrument in writing expressly waiving such provision and signed
by a duly authorized officer of the waiving Party. The waiver by
either of the Parties of any breach of any provision hereof by the
other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding
breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision
itself.

 

10.11

Independent Contractors. Each
Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in
this Termination
Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or
authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way.
Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of
partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between
the Parties or any of their agents or employees, or any other legal
arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act
or failure to act of the other Party.

 

10.12

English Language; Governing
Law. This Termination Agreement was
prepared in the English language, which language shall govern the
interpretation of, and any dispute regarding, the terms of this
Termination
Agreement. This Termination Agreement and all
disputes arising out of or related to this Termination Agreement or any
breach hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of
the State of New York, United States of America, without giving
effect to any choice of law principles that would require the
application of the laws of a different state.

 

10.13

Jurisdiction. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Termination Agreement, any
proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any
matter arising out of or in connection with, this Termination
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in
the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in
the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (and of the appropriate
appellate courts therefrom) in any such proceeding and irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such
proceeding in any such court or that any such proceeding which is
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. Process in any such proceeding may be served on any Party
anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction
of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party
agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in this
Section ‎10.13 shall be
deemed effective service of process on such party.

 

10.14

Representation by Legal
Counsel. Each Party hereto represents that it has been
represented by legal counsel in connection with this Termination
Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting
hereof. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of
this Termination Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption
shall exist or be implied against the Party which drafted such
terms and provisions.

 

10.15

No Third Party Rights or
Obligations. No provision of this Termination Agreement
shall be deemed or construed in any way to result in the creation
of any rights or obligation in any person or entity not a Party to
this Termination Agreement.

 

 

10

 

 

10.16

Counterparts. This Termination Agreement may be
executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one
and the same instrument. This Termination Agreement shall become
effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof
signed by the other Party. Until and unless each Party has received
a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party, this Termination
Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or
obligation hereunder (whether by virtue hereof or any other oral or
written agreement or other communication).

 

10.17

Delivery by Electronic
Transmission. This Termination Agreement and any
signed agreement entered into in connection herewith or
contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the
extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by
..pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail,
shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract
and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as
if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
At the request of any party hereto or to any such contract, each
other party hereto or thereto shall re–execute original forms
thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or
to any such contract shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or
by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail
to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract
was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile
machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to
electronic mail as a defense to the formation of a contract and
each such party forever waives any such defense.

ARTICLE III                              ELECTION TO DEFER                                        3.1    Deferred Compensation Agreement.  Prior to any Entry Date commensurate         with or following his or her election to the Board, a Director may elect to defer         a portion of his or her Compensation in respect of services performed in such         Plan Year by entering into a Deferred Compensation Agreement with respect to         such Compensation.  The Plan Year will be designated by the Plan         Administrator in the Deferred Compensation Agreement.  Compensation that is                                                                                  - 3 - 

 

          deferred shall be credited to one or more Accounts of the Participant as soon as         practicable after the Compensation would otherwise have been paid.      3.2    Election Procedures.             (a)     Advance elections required.  A Deferred Compensation Agreement                 must be entered into, if at all, irrevocably prior to the applicable Entry                 Date for the Plan Year in which the services to which the                 Compensation relates is to be performed (or by such earlier date or                 later date as the Plan Administrator may prescribe consistent with the                 requirements of Section 409A).  Once a Deferred Compensation                 Agreement becomes effective for a Plan Year, it may not be modified                 or revoked by the Participant.           (b)     Other requirements.  Except as otherwise determined by the Plan                 Administrator, a new Deferred Compensation Agreement must be                 timely executed for each Plan Year.      3.3    Compensation to be Deferred.  A Director may elect to defer 0% or 100% (50%         or 100% with respect to Entry dates prior to January 1, 2013), but no other or         different portion or percentage, of each type of Compensation (i.e., Annual         Stock Award, Meeting Fees, and Retainer Fees) which may become payable to         him or her currently with respect to services as a Director during any Plan Year         by entering into a Deferred Compensation Agreement with respect to 0% or         100% (50% or 100% with respect to Entry dates prior to January 1, 2013), as         the case may be, of any such Compensation.    3.4    Accounts.  The Plan Administrator shall establish an Account or Accounts for         each Participant reflecting elective deferrals and any adjustments under this         Section 3.4.             (a)     Stock deferrals.  An Account established for a Participant in                 connection with the deferral of an award otherwise payable in shares                 of Stock shall be denominated in Stock units (each representing a                 share of Stock).  An Account described in the immediately preceding                 sentence shall be equitably adjusted by the Plan Administrator to                 reflect any stock dividends, stock splits or combinations of shares                 (including a reverse stock split), recapitalizations or other changes in                 the Corporation’s capital structure, and shall be adjusted in connection                 with the payment of any dividend or other distribution on the Stock to                 reflect the notional (hypothetical) reinvestment of the amount of the                 dividend or distribution in additional shares of Stock, such additional                 shares being treated thereafter (including with respect to subsequent                 dividends and distributions) in the same manner as the shares initially                 deferred.  Any notional reinvestment shall be deemed to have been                                                                                  - 4 - 

 

                  made using the closing price of the Stock on the date the dividend or                 other distribution was paid.           (b)     Cash deferrals.  All Accounts not described in Section 3.4(a) shall be                 adjusted for notional (hypothetical) investment experience as                 described in this Section 3.4(b).  The Plan Administrator shall                 designate for purposes of the Plan one or more investment alternatives                 (each, a “tracking option”), including, if the Plan Administrator so                 determines, a tracking option that offers a return of notional interest                 and including, solely with respect to Plan Years commencing prior to                 January 1, 2013, a tracking option notionally invested in shares of                 Stock.  Each Participant shall have the opportunity to allocate                 Accounts not described in Section 3.4(a) and/or additional cash                 deferrals among the available tracking options.  Amounts allocated                 under the Plan to a tracking option shall be treated as notionally                 invested in that tracking option.  In the absence of an affirmative                 allocation by a Participant, the Plan Administrator may designate a                 default tracking option and treat the Accounts and/or deferrals (or such                 portions thereof as shall not have been affirmatively allocated) as                 being notionally invested in the default tracking option.  The Plan                 Administrator shall periodically adjust Accounts to reflect increases or                 decreases attributable to these notional investments, and with respect                 to any Account invested in a tracking option notionally invested in                 Stock, shall also adjust such Account in the manner described in                 Section 3.4(a).  Except as otherwise determined by the Plan                 Administrator and subject to such rules as the Plan Administrator may                 prescribe, a Participant may make notional investment changes at any                 time with respect to existing deferrals and/or future deferrals.  The                 Plan Administrator may, at the direction of the Board, at any time and                 from time to time, eliminate or add tracking options or substitute a                 new for an existing tracking option, including with respect to balances                 already notionally invested under the Plan.  The Corporation may, but                 need not, purchase securities or other investments with characteristics                 similar to the tracking options from time to time offered under the                 Plan, but any such securities or other investments shall remain part of                 the Corporation’s general assets.    3.5    Miscellaneous.  The Plan Administrator shall maintain such records and prepare         such reports as it considers necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of         the Plan.  In addition to the adjustments to Accounts referred to in Section 3.4         above, the Plan Administrator shall increase each Account to reflect additional         deferrals and shall decrease the Account to reflect distributions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         - 5 -

All Accounts are fully vested at all times.  However, the         fact that an Account is fully vested shall not give a Participant or Beneficiary or         any other person any right to receive the value of such Account except in         accordance with the terms of the Plan.                                     ARTICLE V                              PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS                                        5.1    Time of Payment; In General.  Subject to the below, each Participant shall elect,         not later than the date of each Deferred Compensation Agreement entered into,         for the portion of his or her Accounts under the Plan attributable to the         Compensation so deferred is to be paid, or commence to be paid, in accordance         with Section 5.2 below, either:           (a)     at Separation from Service whenever occurring, or           (b)     at the earlier or (i) a specified date not earlier than the date five years                 after the effective date of such Deferred Compensation Agreement or                 (ii) Separation from Service (for Plan Years commencing prior to                 January 1, 2013, limited to a specified date not earlier than the date                 five years after the effective date of such Deferred Compensation                 Agreement).                     In the absence of an affirmative election, the Participant shall be                 deemed to have elected payment upon Separation from Service.                     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant                 must make the same election for all Deferred Compensation                 Agreements entered into with respect to Compensation earned in the                 same Plan Year.                  Notwithstanding the above, all elections to defer Compensation attributable to         Plan Years beginning after January 1, 2021 shall automatically be paid at         Separation from Service, subject to the terms of Section 5.4 below.    5.2    Payment Rules.           (a)     Time of Payment.  The Corporation shall pay or commence to pay the                 applicable portion of a Participant’s Accounts under the Plan on or as                 soon as practicable following triggering event under Section 5.1 above                 (i.e., either Separation from Service or, if so specified, a specified                 date) entitling the Participant or his or her Beneficiaries to a                 distribution; provided, that a payment shall be made in all events not                                                                                 - 6 - 

 

                  later than the end of the calendar year in which the triggering event                 occurs or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date                 on which the triggering event occurs.                   (b)     Death.  If a Participant should die before the specified distribution                 triggering event, his or her Accounts shall be paid in a single payment                 to his or her Beneficiaries as soon as practicable following the                 Participant’s death, and in all events not later than the end of the                 calendar year in which the Participant dies or, if later, the 15th day of                 the third month following the date on which the Participant dies.           (c)     Disability.  If a Participant becomes Disabled before the specified                 distribution date, his or her Accounts shall be paid in a single payment                 to the Participant as soon as practicable following the event of                 Disability, and in all events not later than the end of the calendar year                 in which the Participant becomes Disabled or, if later, the 15th day of                 the third month following the date on which the Participant becomes                 Disabled.    5.3    Amount and Form of Payment.           (a)     Amount of Payment.  The amount payable to any Participant or                 Beneficiary shall be all or a portion of the balance of the Participant’s                 Accounts to the extent subject to the applicable election, adjusted as                 described below in the case of installment payments.                  (b)     Form of Payment.  (i)  Except as specified in Sections 5.2(b) and                 5.2(c), payment of all or a portion a Participant’s Accounts shall be                 made in a single payment or in annual installments over a period of                 two to 5 years as elected by means of the respective Deferred                 Compensation Agreement.  Where payment is to be made in                 installments, the amount of each installment shall be determined by                 dividing the total amount standing to the Participant’s credit under                 each Account that is subject to the election immediately prior to the                 installment by the number of installments remaining to be paid.  In the                 absence of an affirmative election, a Participant shall be deemed to                 have elected to receive a single payment.  Notwithstanding anything in                 the Plan to the contrary, a Participant must make the same election for                 all Deferred Compensation Agreements entered into with respect to                 Compensation earned in the same Plan Year.  (ii)  Notwithstanding                 Section 5.3(b)(i) hereof, with respect to elections applicable to Plan                 Years commencing prior to January 1, 2013, payment of all or a                 portion a Participant’s Accounts shall be made in a single payment or                 in annual installments over a period of two to 10 years as elected by                 means of the respective Deferred Compensation Agreement.  Where                 payment is to be made in installments, the amount of each installment                                                                                 - 7 - 

 

                  shall be determined by dividing the total amount standing to the                 Participant’s credit under each Account that is subject to the election                 immediately prior to the installment by the number of installments                 remaining to be paid.  In the absence of an affirmative election, a                 Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive a single                 payment.                  (c)     Medium of Payment.  Deferrals of Compensation otherwise payable in                 cash, and related notional earnings, shall be paid in cash.  Deferrals of                 Compensation otherwise payable in shares of Stock, together with                 notionally reinvested dividends, shall be paid by delivery of shares of                 Stock.      5.4    Changes to Distribution Elections.  Subject to Section 5.5 below, a Participant         may not change the form or payment commencement date for payment of his or         her Accounts except in accordance with the following rules:                  (a)     Change in commencement date.  At any time prior to a date that is at                 least 12 months preceding the calendar  year in which an Account or                 portion thereof would otherwise have been paid (if payable in a single                 payment rather than in installments) or in which payment would have                 commenced (if payable in installments), a Participant may elect to                 defer the payment or payment commencement date to a specified date                 at least five years following the date on which the amount would                 otherwise be paid or commence to be paid.                  (b)     Change in form of payment.  A Participant who has elected (or is                 deemed to have elected) to receive his or her benefit in a single                 payment may instead elect installments, and a Participant who has                 elected installment payments may instead elect a single payment,                 provided in each case that the change is elected in accordance with the                 requirements of subsection (a) above.                   (c)     Effectiveness of change.  No change to an election as to the time or                 form of payment will take effect until at least 12 months after the date                 on which the election is made.    5.5    Special Rule for 2007 and 2008.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the         contrary, the Plan Administrator may permit Participants or Beneficiaries with         an Account under the Plan to elect a new form and time of distribution, not later         than December 31, 2008, in a manner consistent with transition guidance under         Section 409A, subject to such limitations and restrictions as the Plan         Administrator may impose.  Such an election made in 2007 may apply only to         amounts that would not otherwise be payable in 2007 and may not cause an         amount to be paid in 2007 that would not otherwise be payable in 2007, and         such an election made in 2008 may apply only to amounts that would not                                                                                 - 8 - 

 

          otherwise be payable in 2008 and may not cause an amount to be paid in 2008         that would not otherwise be payable in 2008.                                                                               ARTICLE VI                        ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN                                        6.1    Plan Administrator.  Except as the Board may otherwise determine, the Plan         Administrator shall be the Executive Vice President-Global Human Resources         as from time to time in office, or his or her delegate.  The Plan Administrator         shall have complete discretionary authority to interpret the Plan and to decide         all matters under the Plan.  Such interpretations and decisions shall be final,         conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming under or         through any Participant, in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that         the Plan Administrator acted arbitrarily and capriciously.  No individual acting         as Plan Administrator may determine his or her own rights or entitlements         under the Plan, if any.    6.2    Outside Services.  The Plan Administrator may engage counsel and such         clerical, financial, investment, accounting, and other specialized services as the         Plan Administrator may deem necessary or appropriate for the administration of         the Plan.  The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon any opinions,         reports, or other advice furnished by counsel or other specialists engaged for         that purpose and, in so relying, shall be fully protected in any action,         determination, or omission made in good faith.    6.3    Indemnification.  To the extent permitted by law and not prohibited by its         charter or by-laws, the Corporation will indemnify and hold harmless every         person who serves or who has served (directly or by delegation) as Plan         Administrator and his or her estate if he or she is deceased from and against all         claims, loss, damages, liability and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in         carrying out his or her responsibilities as Plan Administrator, unless due to the         gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such individual; provided,         that counsel fees and amounts paid in settlement must be approved by the         Corporation, and provided further that this Section 6.3 will not apply to any         claims, loss, damages, liability or costs and expenses which are covered by a         liability insurance policy maintained by the Corporation or by the individual.          The provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply to any corporate         trustee, insurance company, investment manager or outside service provider (or         to any employee of any of the foregoing) except as the Corporation specifies in         writing.                                                                                             - 9 -

By action of the Board, the Corporation reserves the         absolute right at any time and from time to time to amend any or all provisions         of the Plan or to terminate the Plan.    7.2    Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No action under Section 7.1 shall         operate to reduce the balance of a Participant’s Accounts other than through a         distribution to the Participant or his or her Beneficiaries.  No Plan amendment         or instrument of termination will accelerate or defer distributions under the Plan         or otherwise alter the availability of elections or other rights under the Plan         except as permitted by Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder.
