                                        2013 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR FEE DEFERRAL PLAN

I.  Purpose
The 2013 Non-Employee Director Fee Deferral Plan (the "Plan") enables each Director of Eaton Corporation plc ("Eaton" or the "Company") who is not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to defer receipt of fees that may be payable to him or her for future services as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or as chairman or as a member of any committee of the Board.  The purpose of the Plan is to help attract and retain highly qualified individuals to serve as members of the Company's Board of Directors and as members of committees thereof.
II.  Eligibility
All members of the Board who are not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to amounts earned as fees for services as a member of the Board or as Chair or a member of any committee of the Board.
III.  Definitions
The terms used herein shall have the following meanings:
Account - A bookkeeping account established by Eaton for a Participant to which may be credited Deferred Fees and earnings or losses thereon.
Agreement - A written agreement between Eaton and a Participant deferring the receipt of Fees and indicating the term of the deferral.
Beneficiary - The person or entity designated in writing executed and delivered by the Participant to the Committee.  If that person or entity is not living or in existence at the time any unpaid balance of Deferred Fees becomes due after the death of a Participant, the term "Beneficiary" shall mean the Participant's estate or legal representative or any person, trust or organization designated in such Participant's will.
Board - The Board of Directors of Eaton.
Change in Control -  Shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of (i) a change in the ownership of Eaton, (ii) a change in effective control of Eaton, or (iii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Eaton.  For purposes of this definition, except as provided below, a change in the ownership of a Eaton occurs on the date that any one (1) person, or more than one (1) person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), acquires ownership of shares of Eaton that, together with shares held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty (50) percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the shares of Eaton.  However, if any one (1) person, or more than one (1) person acting as a group, is considered to own more than fifty (50) percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the shares of Eaton, the acquisition of additional shares by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of Eaton (or to cause a change in the effective control of Eaton).  An increase in the percentage of shares owned by any one (1) person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which Eaton acquires its shares in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of shares for purposes hereof.  This shall apply only when there is a transfer of shares of Eaton (or issuance of shares of Eaton) and shares in Eaton remain outstanding after the transaction.  A change in the effective control of Eaton occurs only on either of the following dates:  (1) The date any one (1) person, or more than one (1) person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of shares of Eaton possessing thirty (30) percent or more of the total voting power of the shares of Eaton; or (2) the date a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the individuals who had comprised the Board before the date of the appointment or election.  A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of Eaton assets occurs on the date any one (1) person, or more than one (1) person acting as a group, acquired (or has acquired during the 12- month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from Eaton that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty (40) percent of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of Eaton immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions.  For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of Eaton,  or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.  Application of this definition shall be further subject to rules set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i) relating to persons acting as a group, transfers to related persons, and certain back-to-back arrangements.

IV.  Election to Defer
Section 4.01  Deferral Options.  For each calendar year commencing with 2013, a Participant may elect to defer the receipt of all or part of his or her Fees as Short-Term Deferred Fees or Retirement Deferred Fees.  Once a Participant has made an effective election, he or she may not thereafter change that election or change any allocation between Short-Term Deferred Fees or Retirement Deferred Fees.
Section 4.02  Amount Deferred.  Not less than ten (10) percent of Fees payable for any calendar year may be deferred under the Plan.  If a Participant elects to allocate a portion of Fees to both Short-Term Deferred Fees and Retirement Deferred Fees, the amount allocated to each shall be not less than ten (10) percent of the Fees payable for any calendar year.
Section 4.03  Election Deadline.  To be in effect for a calendar year, a Participant's election must be completed, signed and filed with the Committee on or before December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, except that in the case of the first year in which a Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, such election may be made with respect to services performed subsequent to the election within thirty (30) days after the date the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.  

Section 4.04  Additional Terms.  At the time the Participant elects to defer all or part of his or her Fees for a calendar year as Short-Term Deferred Compensation, the Participant shall also specify the year in which payment of such amount shall commence (which shall not be prior to the second year following the calendar year for which the Fees were deferred) and the method of payment selected from those permitted under Article V, provided that payment shall commence on or about March 15 of the specified year.  At the time the Participant elects to defer all or part of his or her Fees for a calendar year as Retirement Deferred Fees, the Participant shall also specify that payment of such amounts be made in a lump sum or in Periodic Installments, including the term of such Periodic Installments, upon Retirement, provided that the date of payment or commencement shall be on or about March 15 of the year following the date of such Retirement, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06.
V.  Short-Term Deferred Fees
If elected by a Participant, payment of the amount of Fees allocated to Short-Term Deferred Fees will be deferred.  Short-Term Deferred Fees shall be credited to the Participant on the date such amount would have been distributed to him or her if there had been no valid deferral election by establishing an Account in the Participant's name.  Treasury Bill Interest Equivalents shall be credited quarterly to the Participant's Short-Term Deferred Fees Account until such compensation is paid to the Participant.  Short-Term Deferred Fees, together with credited Treasury Bill Interest Equivalents, shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum or in not more than five annual installments, as elected by the Participant.  Upon the death of a Participant prior to payment of such amounts, payment shall be made to his or her Beneficiary in a lump sum within ninety (90) days of the date of such death.
VI.  Retirement Deferred Fees
Section 6.01  Duration.  If elected by a Participant, payment of the amount of Fees allocated to Retirement Deferred Fees will be deferred to Retirement.  Retirement Deferred Fees shall be credited to the Participant on the date such amount would have been distributed to him or her if there had been no valid deferral election by establishing an Account in the Participant's name.
Section 6.02  Common Share Retirement Deferred Fees.  Between fifty (50) percent and one hundred (100) percent, as elected by the Participant, of the amount allocated to Retirement Deferred Fees shall be credited to Common Share Retirement Deferred Fees, and the balance shall be credited to Interest Rate Retirement Deferred Fees.
Common Share Retirement Deferred Fees shall be converted into a number of share units based upon the average of the mean prices for Eaton Common Shares for the twenty trading days of the New York Stock Exchange during which Eaton Common Shares were traded immediately preceding the end of the calendar quarter in which the Fees to be deferred were earned.  For purposes of the Plan, "mean price" shall be the mean of the highest and lowest selling prices for Eaton Common Shares quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on the relevant trading day.  On each Eaton Common Share dividend payment date, dividend equivalents equal to the actual Eaton Common Share dividends paid shall be credited to the share units in the Participant's Account, and shall in turn be converted into share units utilizing the mean price for Eaton Common Shares on the dividend payment date.
Upon payment of Common Share Retirement Deferred Fees in Eaton Common Shares, the share units standing to the Participant's credit shall be converted to the same number of Eaton Common Shares for distribution to the Participant.
Section 6.03  Interest Rate Retirement Deferred Fees.  Retirement Deferred Fees not credited to Common Share Retirement Deferred Fees shall be credited to Interest Rate Retirement Deferred Fees.  Interest Rate Retirement Deferred Fees shall be credited to the Interest Rate Retirement Deferred Fees Account, which shall earn Treasury Note Based Interest, compounded quarterly, until paid.
Section 6.04  Periodic Installments.  In the event of the death of a Participant who has commenced receiving Periodic Installments, the entire remaining amount of his or her Retirement Deferred Fees shall be distributed to the Participant's Beneficiary.  Such distribution shall be made in a lump sum within ninety (90) days of the date of such death.
Section 6.05  Termination of Service as a Director.  The Retirement Deferred Fees Account of a Participant whose Termination of Service as a Director occurs for reasons other than Retirement shall be distributed in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the Participant's Termination of Service as a Director for reasons other than Retirement; subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 6.06.

Earnings shall be credited on undistributed Retirement Deferred Fees Accounts, and annual installment payments shall be adjusted to reflect such additional earnings, based on the remaining number of installment payments to be distributed and based on Treasury Note Based Interest, computed quarterly.
Section 6.06  Limitations on Distribution.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, Fees deferred under the Plan shall not be distributed earlier than the first to occur of the following:
(a)    separation from service as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury;
(b)    the date the Participant becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code);
(a)death of the Participant;
(b)a specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule) specified under the Plan at the date of the deferral of such Fees;
(c)to the extent provided by the Secretary of the Treasury, a change in the ownership or effective control of Eaton, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Eaton; or
(d)the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Code.
VII.  Amendment and Termination
Section 7.01  Right to Amend or Terminate.  Eaton fully expects to continue the Plan but it reserves the right, except as otherwise provided herein, at any time by action of the Committee, to modify, amend or terminate the Plan for any reason, including adverse changes in the federal tax laws.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, no amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of any particular Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under the Plan with respect to that Participant.
Section 7.02  American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  The Plan is intended to provide for the deferral of compensation in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations and published guidance issued pursuant thereto.  Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed in a manner consistent with those provisions and may at any time be amended in the manner and to the extent determined necessary or desirable by Eaton to reflect or otherwise facilitate compliance with such provisions with respect to amounts deferred on and after January 1, 2013, including as contemplated by Section 885(f) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  
Section 7.03  Plan Termination in Connection with Change in Control.  The Board shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Plan and pay each Participant's entire Account to the Participant or, if applicable, his Beneficiary, pursuant to an irrevocable action taken by the Board within the thirty (30) days preceding a Change in Control.  This Section 7.03 will only apply to a payment under the Plan if all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the “service recipient” (as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(g)) immediately after the time of the Change in Control event with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single plan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(c) (2) are terminated and liquidated with respect to each Participant that experienced the Change in Control event, so that under the terms of the termination and liquidation all such Participants are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements within 12 months of the date the service recipient irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate and liquidate the agreements, methods, programs and other arrangements.  Solely for purposes of this Section 7.03, where the Change in Control event results from an asset purchase transaction, the applicable service recipient with the discretion to liquidate and terminate the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements is the service recipient that is primarily liable immediately after the transaction  for the payment of the deferred compensation.
VIII.  Administration
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  The Committee shall interpret the provisions of the Plan where necessary and may adopt procedures for the administration of the Plan which are consistent with the provisions of the Plan and any rules adopted by the Committee.
Each Participant or Beneficiary must claim any benefit to which such Participant or Beneficiary may be entitled under the Plan by a written notification to the Committee.  If a claim is denied, it must be denied within a reasonable period of time in a written notice stating the specific reasons for the denial.  The claimant may have a review of the denial by the Committee by filing a written notice with the Committee within sixty (60) days after the notice of the denial of his or her claim.  The written decision by the Committee with respect to the review must be given within one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the written request.
The determinations of the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

IX.  Termination and Change in Control 
Section 9.01  Termination and Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary other than Section 6.06, upon the occurrence of a Termination and Change in Control, the Participants shall be entitled to receive from the Company the payments as provided in Section 9.02.
Section 9.02  Payment Requirement.  No later than the date a Participant makes an initial election under the Plan, the Participant shall select one of the payment alternatives set forth below with respect to the Participant's Account.  The payment alternatives are as follows: 
(a)    a Lump Sum Payment within thirty (30) days following the Termination and Change in Control;
(b)    payment in semiannual or annual payments, over a period not to exceed 15 years, as selected by the Participant at the time provided in the first paragraph of this Section 9.02, commencing within thirty (30) days following the Termination and Change in Control which are substantially equal in amount or in the number of share units being valued and paid or in the number of Eaton Common Shares being distributed, except that earnings attributable to periods following Termination and Change in Control shall be included with each payment. 
Payment of such amounts shall be made to each such Participant in accordance with his or her selected alternative as provided in Section 9.02.
X.  Miscellaneous
Section 10.01  Adjustments.  In the event of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, shares split, shares dividend, rights offering or similar event affecting shares of the Company, the Committee shall equitably adjust the number of share units previously allocated to the Accounts of Participants as Common Share Retirement Deferred Fees.
Section 10.02  Designation of Beneficiaries.  Each Participant shall have the right, by written instruction to the Committee, on a form supplied by the Committee, to designate one or more primary and contingent Beneficiaries (and the proportion to be paid to each, if more than one is designated) to receive his or her Account balance upon his or her death.  Any such designation shall be revocable by the Participant.
Section 10.03  Committee Actions.  All actions of the Committee hereunder may be taken with or without a meeting, as permitted by law and by the Company's organizational documents.
Section 10.04  Assignment.  No benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer or encumbrance, and any attempt to do so shall be void.  No benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for the debts, contracts, or liabilities of the person entitled to such benefits.  During a Participant's lifetime, rights hereunder are exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall prohibit the transfer of any benefit by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or (if permitted by applicable regulations under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined under the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
Section 10.05  No Funding Required.  The obligations of Eaton to make payments shall be a liability of Eaton to the Participant.  Eaton shall not be required to maintain any separate fund or reserve, or purchase or acquire life insurance on a Participant's life, or otherwise segregate assets to assure that any particular asset of Eaton is available to make such payments by reason of Eaton's obligations hereunder.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed as creating a trust or other fiduciary relationship between Eaton and a Participant or any other person.
Section 10.06  No Contract for Services.  The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract for services between Eaton and a Participant.  Neither the execution of the Plan nor any action taken by Eaton, the Board or the Committee pursuant to the Plan shall confer on a Participant any legal right to be continued as a member of the Board or in any other capacity with Eaton whatsoever.
Section 10.07  Governing Law.  The Plan shall be construed and governed in accordance with the law of the State of Ohio to the extent not covered by Federal law.
Section 10.08  Effective Date.  The Plan was adopted by the Board on December 12, 2012, effective January 1, 2013.
Section 10.09 Issuance of Eaton Common Shares.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, (a) Eaton shall not be obliged to issue any shares pursuant to an award unless at least the par value or nominal value of such newly issued share has been fully paid in advance in accordance with applicable law (which requirement may mean the holder of an award is obliged to make such payment) and (b) Eaton shall not be obliged to issue or deliver any shares in satisfaction of awards until all legal 

and regulatory requirements associated with such issue or delivery have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Agreement made this _____ day of ___________, 2012 by and between Eaton Corporation plc, an Irish public limited company (the "Company"), and _________, a Director of the Company ("Indemnitee");
WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee are each aware of the exposure to litigation of officers, Directors and representatives of the Company as such persons exercise their duties to the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee are also aware of conditions in the insurance industry that have affected and may affect in the future the Company's ability to obtain appropriate directors' and officers' liability insurance on an economically acceptable basis;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to benefit from the services of highly qualified, experienced and otherwise competent persons such as Indemnitee; and
WHEREAS, Indemnitee desires to serve or to continue to serve the Company as a Director of the Company, or, if requested to do so by the Company, as a director, officer, trustee, employee, representative or agent of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for so long as the Company continues to provide on an acceptable basis adequate and reliable indemnification against certain liabilities and expenses which may be incurred by Indemnitee;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:   
1.    INDEMNIFICATION.
(a)  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law with respect to Indemnitee's activities as a Director of the Company and/or as a person who is serving or has served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, employee, representative or agent of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, domestic or foreign, against expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee ("Expenses") in connection with any claim against Indemnitee, whether or not such claim is brought by any party who may be an "insured person" under the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance, which is the subject of any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise and whether formal or informal (a "Proceeding"), to which Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made a party by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity.
(b)  The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any rights Indemnitee may now or hereafter have to indemnification by the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or otherwise.  More specifically, the parties hereto intend that Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive, as determined by Indemnitee, payment to the maximum extent permitted by one or any combination of the following:
(i)    the payments provided by the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association in effect as at the date hereof;
(ii)    the payments provided by any code of regulations or their equivalent of the Company in effect at the time Expenses are incurred by Indemnitee;
(iii)    the payments allowable under the Companies Act 1963 - 2012 (as same may be amended) at the time Expenses are incurred by Indemnitee;
(iv)    the payments available under liability insurance obtained by the Company; and
(v)    such other payments as are or may be otherwise available to Indemnitee pursuant to any indemnity agreement entered into by the Indemnitee (for the benefit of the Indemnitee) and any subsidiary of the Company or as may otherwise be available to the Indemnitee.
Combination of two or more of the payments provided by (i) through (v) shall be available to the extent that the Applicable Document, as hereafter defined, does not require that the payments provided therein be exclusive of other payments.  The document or law providing for any of the payments listed in items (i) through (v) above is referred to in this Agreement as the "Applicable Document."  The Company hereby undertakes to use its best efforts to assist Indemnitee, in all proper and legal ways, to obtain the payments selected by Indemnitee under items (i) through (v) above.

(c)  For purposes of this Agreement, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans for employees of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries without regard to ownership of such plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to any employee benefit plan; references to "serving at the request of the Company" shall include any service as a director, officer, trustee, employee, representative or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; references to the masculine shall include the feminine; references to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa; references to “include” shall be illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding that term, and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner consistent with the standards required for indemnification by the Company under the Applicable Documents.
(d)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all rights to indemnification and the payment of Expenses in this Agreement shall only have effect insofar as they are not contrary to or in violation of the laws of Ireland, including section 200 of the Companies Act 1963 (as amended).
2.    INSURANCE.
The Company shall maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance which is at least as favorable to Indemnitee as the policy in effect on the date hereof and for so long as Indemnitee's services are covered hereunder, provided and to the extent that such insurance is available on a reasonable commercial basis.  However, Indemnitee shall continue to be entitled to the indemnification rights provided hereunder regardless of whether liability or other insurance coverage is at any time obtained or retained by the Company.   Any payments in fact made to Indemnitee under an insurance policy obtained or retained by the Company shall reduce the obligation of the Company to make payments hereunder by the amount of the payments made under any such insurance policy.  In the event that insurance becomes unavailable in the amount or scope of coverage of the policy in effect on the date hereof on a reasonable commercial basis and the Company foregoes maintenance of all or a portion of such insurance coverage, the Company shall stand as a self‐insurer with respect to the coverage, or portion thereof, not retained, and shall indemnify Indemnitee against any loss arising out of the reduction or cancellation of such insurance coverage.
3.    PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.
At Indemnitee's request, the Company shall subject to Paragraph 1(d) pay the Expenses as and when incurred by Indemnitee, after receipt of written notice pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof and an undertaking in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto by or on behalf of Indemnitee (I) to repay such amounts so paid on Indemnitee's behalf if it shall ultimately be determined under the Applicable Document that Indemnitee is required to repay such Expenses and (ii) to reasonably cooperate with the Company concerning the Proceeding.  That portion of Expenses which represents attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice, together with reasonable documentation evidencing the amount and nature of such Expenses.
4.    ESCROW RESERVE.
The Company shall dedicate up to an aggregate of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) as collateral security for the initial funding of its obligations hereunder and under similar agreements with other directors, officers and representatives by depositing assets or bank letters of credit in escrow or reserving lines of credit that may be drawn down by an escrow agent in the dedicated amount (the "Escrow Reserve"); provided, however, that the terms of any such Escrow Reserve may provide that the cash, securities or letters or lines of credit available therefor shall be utilized for the indemnification or advancement of expenses provided for herein only in the event that there shall have occurred within the preceding five years a Change in Control of the Company, as defined below.  The Company shall promptly provide Indemnitee with a true and complete copy of the agreement relating to the establishment and operation of the Escrow Reserve, together with such additional documentation or information with respect to the escrow as Indemnitee may from time to time reasonably request.  The Company shall promptly deliver an executed copy of this Agreement to the Escrow Reserve agent to evidence to the agent that Indemnitee is a beneficiary of the Escrow Reserve and shall deliver to Indemnitee the escrow agent's signed receipt evidencing that delivery.  For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the Company shall have occurred if at any time any of the following events shall occur:
(i) a tender offer shall be made and consummated for the ownership of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of Company's then outstanding voting securities, (ii) the Company shall be merged or consolidated with another corporation and as a result of such merger or consolidation less than 75% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the former shareholders of the Company, other than affiliates (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) of any party to such merger or consolidation, as the same shall have existed immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, (iii) the Company shall sell substantially all of its assets to another corporation which is not a wholly‐owned subsidiary of the Company, (iv) any person (as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly 

or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or (v) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two‐thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.  For purposes of this Agreement, ownership of voting securities shall take into account and include ownership as determined by applying the provisions of Rule 13d‐3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act (as then in effect).
5.    ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
The indemnification provided in this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other indemnification or right to which Indemnitee may be entitled and shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to occupy a position as an officer, director or representative as described in Paragraph 1 above with respect to Proceedings relating to or arising out of Indemnitee's acts or omissions during Indemnitee's service in such position.
6.    NOTICE TO COMPANY.
Indemnitee shall provide to the Company prompt written notice of any Proceeding brought, threatened, asserted or commenced against Indemnitee with respect to which Indemnitee may assert a right to indemnification hereunder; provided that failure to provide such notice shall not in any way limit Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement.
7.    COOPERATION IN DEFENSE AND SETTLEMENT.
Indemnitee shall not make any admission or effect any settlement with respect to a Proceeding without the Company's written consent unless Indemnitee shall have determined to undertake his or her own defense in such matter and has waived the benefits of this Agreement in writing delivered to the Company.  The Company shall not settle any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party in any manner which would impose any Expense on Indemnitee without his or her written consent.

(d)    the Company shall not have employed counsel promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding.

The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of Indemnitee in any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have reached either of the conclusions provided for in clauses (b) or (c) above.

The award shall be rendered in such form that judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) incurred in connection with such legal action or arbitration provided that Indemnitee shall not be obligated to reimburse the Company unless the arbitrator or court which resolves the dispute determines that Indemnitee acted in bad faith in bringing such action or arbitration.

14.    SEVERABILITY.
If any provision, phrase, or other portion of this Agreement should be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and such determination should become final, such provision, phrase or other portion shall be deemed to be severed or limited, but only to the extent required to render the remaining provisions and 

portions of this Agreement enforceable, and this Agreement as thus amended shall be enforced to give effect to the intention of the parties insofar as that is possible.
