SEPARATION AGREEMENT

 

This Separation
Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this 8th day of May,
2017, by and between Mr. Mario Longhi (the “Executive”) and UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION and its subsidiaries and
affiliates (“the Company”).

		1.	SEPARATION. Executive
notified the Company that he is voluntarily retiring from the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of the Effective
Date (as determined under Paragraph 17 below), but will remain on the Company’s Board of Directors and will remain an employee
of the Company until he voluntarily retires from both positions effective June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, Executive hereby
resigns all positions, titles, duties, authorities and responsibilities with, arising out of, or relating to, his employment with
the Company now, or at any time in the future, and such resignation is irrevocable unless this Agreement is revoked in accordance
with Paragraph 13.f. below. During the period between the Effective Date (as determined under Paragraph 17 below) and June 30,
2017, Executive will remain on the Company’s payroll as an employee providing transitional services and will make himself available
for consultation and special projects, as requested.

Executive acknowledges, understands, and agrees
that:

		a.	All of his service, compensation and benefit accruals from the
Company and its compensation and benefit plans will cease as of June 30, 2017;

		b.	He will have the opportunity to continue coverage
under the applicable group health plan in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985;

		c.	He will have the opportunity to exercise vested
stock options (including those that vest pursuant to Paragraph 2.a below, for a total of 83,808 shares of the Company, the “Vested
Options”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements granting such stock options.

		d.	He is eligible to receive accrued and vested
benefits to the extent provided in accordance with the terms of the following plans, with it being mutually agreed that June 30,
2017 shall establish the termination date of his employment for the determination of payment timing, vesting, and all other purposes:

		i.	United States Steel Corporation Savings Fund
Plan for Salaried Employees

		ii.	United States Steel Corporation Non-Tax Qualified
Retirement Account Program

		e.	Although not required, his voluntary retirement
will be treated as a termination with consent and as a retirement for purposes of the (1) the United States Steel Corporation Supplemental
Thrift Program and the United States Steel Corporation Supplemental Retirement Account Program, and/or (2) any awards granted under
the United States Steel Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Program, the United States Steel Corporation 2016 Omnibus Incentive

 

    	 	 	 1 of 9

     

    

 

 

Compensation Plan, or the United States Steel
Corporation Annual Incentive Compensation Plan.

		2.	CONSIDERATION. Executive
acknowledges, understands and agrees that the Company is not obligated to pay him any type of severance payments or benefits. However,
in consideration for executing this Agreement and abiding by all terms and conditions contained therein, including Paragraph 2(e)
below, the Company agrees as follows:

		a.	Executive’s outstanding and otherwise unvested
2015 and 2016 annual grants of long-term incentive (“LTl”) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options
will continue to vest on a prorata basis on their normal vesting dates. Based on a separation date of June 30, 2017, Executive
shall vest in an additional 10,525 restricted stock units and an additional 25,708 stock options. The restricted stock units will
be distributed on January 1, 2018 and the stock options will vest on the next vesting date, which for the 2015 tranche is February
25, 2018 and for the 2016 tranche is May 31, 2018.

		b.	Executive will also receive his benefits (most
recently valued at $1,227,575 as of April 17, 2017) under the Non-Tax Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, which shall be paid
in accordance with the terms of that plan.

		c.	Executive will be eligible to receive a prorated
bonus pursuant to the Executive Management Annual Incentive Compensation Program (“AICP”) for 2017 based on the 6 months
of Executive’s service during the performance period. The payout under the AICP, if any, is calculated based on the Company’s actual
performance relative to the 2017 AICP performance targets, and adjusted based on individual performance which will be calculated
at target. Any cash payment of prorated AICP will be made following the approval of financial results and performance goal achievement
but no later than March 15, 2018.

		d.	Executive shall also be eligible to receive
prorated Total Shareholder Return and Return on Capital Employed performance awards (“Performance Awards”) pursuant to
the 2017 LTl program. The payout for the Performance Awards, if any, is calculated
based on the Company’s achievement of the performance goals under the LTl program.
The Performance Awards will vest at the end of the performance periods, which for the 2015 performance awards would be 2018 and
for the 2016 performance awards would be 2019.

		e.	The payments referenced above will not be
treated as covered compensation under any of the Company’s compensation, retirement, or benefit programs. These payments will be
subject to all applicable tax and other withholdings and deductions. These payments are also conditioned upon Executive complying
with his obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to those set forth in Paragraph 7 (Non-Competition). If Executive
fails to comply with any such obligations at any time, these payments will be forfeited, and the Company will be entitled to repayment
of any amounts if already paid.

		f.	If Executive elects to continue his healthcare
coverage (including family coverage) under the COBRA continuation provisions of the Company’s group health plans, the Company will
reimburse Executive for a period of up to eighteen (18) months
for the cost of such coverage. No reimbursement will be made for COBRA continuation coverage after the date that Executive
becomes eligible for group health coverage provided by another employer. The reimbursements will be made as soon as administratively
practicable after his request for reimbursement with evidence of payment. The Company will treat the reimbursements as taxable
income to Executive to the extent required by law.

 

		g.	Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees
that the Company is not required to provide any of the consideration described above if he does not execute this Agreement, and
therefore, it represents valuable consideration which is in addition to anything else of value to which Executive was already entitled.

		h.	Executive acknowledges, understands, and agrees
that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Executive will not receive, nor is Executive entitled to receive, any other
consideration, payments, incentive payments, reimbursements, bonuses, stock, stock options, equity interests, or other benefits
or compensation of any kind. Executive further acknowledges that, except for his Vested Options, Executive is forfeiting, for no
consideration other than what is paid under this Agreement, all of his restricted stock, stock option, performance units, and other
equity or incentive-based awards.

		3.	RELEASE. In
return for the Consideration provided under Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, Executive, on behalf of himself and his agents, representatives,
attorneys, heirs, executors, administrators, survivors, trustees, beneficiaries, and assigns, of his own free will and in good
faith, completely, irrevocably and unconditionally releases and discharges forever the Company and its successors, assigns, divisions,
subsidiaries, related or affiliated companies, past and present officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees, representatives

or on account of his employment relationship with the Company, or his separation from employment with the Company, or any other
transactions, occurrences, acts or omissions or any loss, damage, or injury whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected,
resulting from any act or omission on the part of the Company, committed or omitted as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

This
release includes, but is not limited to, any claims of discrimination on any basis, including age, race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, veteran’s status, whistleblower status, disability or handicap arising under any federal, state, or local statute,

to the maximum time, geographic, product or other limitations permitted by applicable law.

 

		8.	SECTION 409A. Notwithstanding

Further, to the extent that Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A as of the date of
Executive’s separation from service, no amount which constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation which is payable on account

administrative,
investigative, or other agency or board. Executive agrees to cooperate with and assist the Company in matters concerning prior
business arrangements, investigations, pending litigation or litigation which may arise in the future concerning matters about
which he has personal knowledge or which were within the purview of his job responsibilities at the Company. Executive agrees to
assist in the prosecution or defense of such claims involving the Company, whether or not such claims involve litigation, including
giving truthful testimony as needed. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel expenses with regards to any cooperation
and assistance Executive may provide in accordance with this Section.

		10.	PROTECTION OF COMPANY INFORMATION. Executive acknowledges that he received
and was provided valuable non-public information obtained, possessed or developed by the Company in the ordinary course of its
business and that the protection of such “Confidential Information” is of vital importance to the Company’s business
and interests. All such Confidential Information, whether written or not and whether marked as confidential or not, is presumed
to be confidential. Examples of Confidential Information include, but are not limited to, non-public information concerning the
Company’s employees, directors, officers, customers, prices, sales techniques, estimating and pricing systems, internal cost controls,
production processes and methods, employment practices, product planning and development programs, possible divestitures and acquisitions,
marketing plans, product information, inventions, blueprints and sketches, technical and business concepts, training programs,
legal, compliance and regulatory matters, regardless of whether devised, developed, produced, worked on, or invented in whole or
in part by himself or others, and whether or not copyrightable, trademarkable, licensable, or reduced to practice. Executive acknowledges
and agrees that as an employee of the Company, he has been under a legal obligation to respect and protect such Confidential Information.
Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, at any time or in any manner whatsoever, use any such Confidential Information
for his personal use or advantage, or disclose or make such Confidential Information available to others, regardless of how or
when his came into possession of such Confidential Information. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 (non-competition), nothing
herein prevents Executive from using his general knowledge, skill, and experience in gainful employment by a third party after
his employment with the Company.

Executive
represents that he has not, and will not, download, transfer, or take with him any Confidential Information or other Company property,
documents, data or information. Executive agrees to immediately return to the Company, if he has not already, all Confidential
Information and all Company property, documents, data and other information, including but not limited to computers, electronic
equipment, cell phones, badges, credit cards, which are or have been in his possession or control, whether or not they contain
Confidential Information or relate to the Company’s business.

Executive
understands that pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), an individual will not be held criminally
or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made in confidence
to a federal, state, or local

 

    	 	 	 6 of 9

     

    

 

 

government
official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation
of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit
or other proceeding. Additionally, an individual suing an employer for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law may
disclose a trade secret to his or his attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, provided the individual
files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

		11.	Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
to prohibit him from reporting conduct to, providing truthful information to, or participating in any investigation or proceeding
conducted by, any federal or state government agency or self-regulatory organization. He expressly waives, however, his right to
recovery or relief of any type, including damages or reinstatement, in any administrative or court action or proceeding, whether
state or federal, and whether brought by Executive or on his behalf, related in any way to the matters released herein.

		12.	Executive understands the provisions in the above paragraphs are material
to this Agreement, and that a material violation of any of them would constitute a breach of this Agreement. In the event of a
material breach or a material threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 5, 6, 7, or 10, the Company,
in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its (or their) favor, shall be entitled to specific performance
of each of such Sections, including temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of
competent jurisdiction in order to stop and/or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other
security), and shall also be entitled to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits,
moneys, accruals, increments or other benefits derived from or received as a result of any transactions constituting a breach of
the covenants contained herein, and shall also be entitled to require Executive to repay any amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement.
In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Executive of Paragraph 7 of this Agreement, the restricted periods
set forth therein shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

		13.	With specific regard to this Agreement, Executive understands and acknowledges
that:

		a.	This Agreement constitutes an enforceable
contract, and by signing this Agreement, he is waiving rights that he may have against the Releasees as of the date hereof, including
claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) as applicable, as well as other federal, state and local
laws, based on his employment or separation from employment with the Company;

		b.	He understands that he is not releasing any
claims that may arise after his execution of this Release;

		c.	He is receiving, in exchange for this Release,
valuable consideration in addition to anything of value to which he is already entitled;

		d.	The Company has advised him to consult with
an attorney prior to executing this Release;

		e.	He has a period of 21 calendar days from
the date he receives this Agreement, or so much of such 21-day period as he cares to utilize, to review, consider and sign this
Agreement;

		f.	He may revoke this Agreement at any time
within seven (7) calendar days after he signs it by delivering a written notice of revocation to the Company’s General Counsel;

		g.	If he does not sign this Release within
the 21-day period referenced in (e) above, or if he revokes this Agreement after signing it within the 7-day period referenced
in (f) above, he will be ineligible to receive any of the consideration under Section 2 of this Agreement; and

		h.	The Company’s obligation to provide the
consideration under this Agreement is contingent upon (i) his execution of this Agreement and the expiration of the associated
revocation period without his revocation of the Agreement, and (ii) his re-execution of this Agreement (pursuant to the last paragraph
of Section 3 above) and the expiration of the associated revocation period without his revocation of the Agreement.

		14.	Executive acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement constitutes an admission
by the Company of any liability or of any violation of any applicable law or regulation.

		15.	The provisions of this Agreement may not be modified by any subsequent
agreement unless specifically approved in writing by the Company’s General Counsel.

		16.	Except as stated below with respect to the release set forth in Paragraph
3, each provision of this Agreement shall be enforceable independently of every other provision. If one or more provisions of this
Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect or impair any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal,
or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein. To the extent that the release set forth in Paragraph 3 is deemed to
be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the Company shall not be obligated to honor any of the terms set forth herein and Executive
agrees to immediately return any amounts paid to Executive by the Company in connection with this Agreement, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law.

		17.	The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the date that Executive signs
this Agreement, unless timely revoked in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 13.f. above.

		18.	This Agreement, and any disputes arising from, relating to or touching upon
the Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and shall be exclusively venued
in the State or Federal Courts located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

 

    	 	 	 8 of 9

     

    

 

 

		19.	This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Executive and the
Company; this Agreement has been executed based upon the terms set forth herein; neither Executive nor the Company have relied
on any prior agreement or representation, whether oral or written, which is not set forth in this Agreement; no prior agreement,
whether oral or written, shall have any effect on the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and all prior agreements, whether
oral or written, are expressly superseded and/or revoked by this Agreement.

		20.	After utilizing as much of the 21-day period above as he deems necessary to consider
this matter, and after consulting with an attorney if he so elected, Executive has freely executed this Agreement so as to secure
the consideration provided hereunder.

Executive and the Company have read and understand the
provisions set forth above, and agreeto be legally bound by this Agreement.

Stock
Appreciation Rights

 

Section
7.1 Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Stock Appreciation
Rights to Participants at any time during the term of the Plan, either alone or in tandem with other Awards. Such Stock Appreciation
Rights shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. Such Award Agreements
shall comply with, and be subject to, the following terms and conditions:

 

		(a)	Exercise
                                         Price. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right may not be less than 100%
                                         of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

 

		(b)	Period
                                         and Exercise. The Award Agreement will specify the period over which a Stock Appreciation
                                         Right may be exercised and the terms and conditions that must be met before it may be
                                         exercised; provided, however, that an Award Agreement may not permit the Stock Appreciation
                                         Right to be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. A Participant may
                                         exercise a Stock Appreciation Right by giving written notice of exercise on a form acceptable
                                         to the Committee specifying the portion of the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised.

 

		(c)	Vesting.
                                         Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable according to respective vesting schedules
                                         set forth in each Award Agreement as determined by the Committee; provided that
                                         vesting of any Stock Appreciation Right that is based in whole or in part on performance
                                         conditions and/or the level of achievement versus such performance conditions shall be
                                         subject to a performance period of not less than one year, and vesting of any Stock Appreciation
                                         Rights based solely upon continued employment or the passage of time shall vest over
                                         a period of not less than three years from the date the Award is made, provided that
                                         such vesting may occur in pro rata installments over the three-year period, with
                                         the first installment vesting no sooner than the first anniversary of the date of grant
                                         of such Award.

		(d)	Calculation
                                         of Appreciation. Upon the exercise of Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall
                                         be entitled to receive either (i) cash equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value on
                                         the exercise date over the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right
                                         was granted, multiplied by the number shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock
                                         Appreciation Right is being exercised (the “Cash Amount”), or (ii) a number
                                         of shares of Stock equal to the Cash Amount, divided by the Fair Market Value on the
                                         exercise date of the Stock Appreciation Right.

 

		(e)	Payment
                                         of Appreciation. The total appreciation available to a Participant from an exercise
                                         of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be paid in a single lump sum payment in either cash
                                         or shares of Stock, as determined by the Committee.

 

		(f)	Rights
                                         as a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect
                                         to any share of Stock subject to a Stock Appreciation Right.

Restricted
Stock

 

Section
8.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Restricted Stock to
Participants at any time during the term of the Plan. Such Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and conditions that
the Committee specifies in the Award Agreement and to the terms and conditions of the Plan. At the Committee’s sole discretion,
all shares of Restricted Stock will be held by the Company as escrow agent or issued to the Participant in the form of certificates
bearing a legend describing the restrictions imposed on the shares.

 

Section
8.2 Earning Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated
until the terms, restrictions and conditions imposed on the Restricted Stock have lapsed as described in the Award Agreement.
Restricted Stock will be (a) forfeited if all terms, restrictions and conditions described in the Award Agreement have not been
satisfied or (b) released from escrow and distributed (or any restrictions described in the certificates removed) as soon as practicable
after all terms, restrictions and conditions described in the Award Agreement have been satisfied. Vesting of any Restricted Stock
that is based in whole or in part on performance conditions and/or the level of achievement versus such performance conditions
shall be subject to a performance period of not less than one year, and vesting of any Restricted Stock based solely upon continued
employment or the passage of time shall vest over a period of not less than three years from the date the Award is made, provided
that such vesting may occur in pro rata installments over the three-year period, with the first installment vesting no sooner
than the first anniversary of the date of grant of such Award.

 

Section
8.3 Rights Associated with Restricted Stock. During the applicable period of restriction and unless the Award Agreement provides
otherwise, each Participant to whom Restricted Stock has been granted (a) may exercise full voting rights associated with that
Restricted Stock and (b) will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to that Restricted
Stock; provided, however, that such dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability
and forfeitability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were issued. This means that no accrued dividends
shall be paid to the Participant until the restrictions on the Restricted Stock lapse and such dividends shall be forfeited to
the extent that the Participant forfeits the related Restricted Stock.

RESTRICTED
STOCK UNITS

 

Section
9.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, the Committee may grant Restricted
Stock Units to Participants at any time during the term of the Plan. Such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms
and conditions that the Committee specifies in the Award Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

Section
9.2 Award Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the number
of shares of Stock underlying the Award, the restricted period, the conditions upon which the restrictions on the Restricted Stock
Units will lapse, the time at which and form in which the Restricted Stock Units will be settled, and such other terms and conditions
as the Committee determines and which are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Plan.

Section
9.3 Terms, Conditions and Restrictions. The Committee shall impose such other terms, conditions and restrictions on any Award
of Restricted Stock Units as the Committee may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions based on the achievement
of specific performance goals, time-based restrictions, holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the underlying shares
of Stock by the Company upon vesting of such Restricted Stock Units. Vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit that is based in whole
or in part on performance conditions and/or the level of achievement versus such performance conditions shall be subject to a
performance period of not less than one year, and vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit based solely upon continued employment
or the passage of time shall vest over a period of not less than three years from the date the Award is made, provided that
such vesting may occur in pro rata installments over the three-year period, with the first installment vesting no sooner than
the first anniversary of the date of grant of such Award.

 

Section
9.4 Form of Settlement. An Award of Restricted Stock Units may be settled in full shares of Stock, in cash or in a combination
thereof, as specified by the Committee in the related Award Agreement.

 

Section
9.5 Dividend Equivalents. Awards of Restricted Stock Units may provide the Participant with dividend equivalents, as determined
by the Committee in the Committee’s sole discretion and as set forth in the related Award Agreement; provided, however,
that such dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including the applicable forfeiture conditions,
as the Restricted Stock Units. This means that no amount shall be paid in connection with a dividend equivalent right until shares
of Stock are issued or cash is paid in connection with the Restricted Stock Units and any dividend equivalents shall be forfeited
to the extent that the Participant forfeits the related Restricted Stock Units.

 

Section
9.6 No Voting Rights. In no event will a Participant have any voting rights with respect to the shares of Stock underlying
the Restricted Stock Units.

sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any grant, exercise, or payment
made under or as a result of the Plan. At the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may be permitted to pay to the Company
the withholding amount in the form of cash, shares of Stock owned by the Participant for at least the previous six months (or
such other period acceptable under the generally accepted accounting principles) or by having the Company withhold shares of Stock
from the settlement of the Award. If payment of the withholding amount is made by tendering shares of Stock, the value of the
shares of Stock delivered shall equal the Fair Market Value on the applicable day.

 

Section
11.2 Required Consent to and Notification of Code Section 83(b) Election. No election under Section 83(b) of the Code (to
include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Code Section 83(b)) or under a similar provision
of the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States may be made unless expressly permitted by the terms of the Award document
or by action of the Committee in writing prior to the making of such election. In any case in which a Participant is permitted
to make such an election in connection with an Award, the Participant shall notify the Company of such election within ten days
of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing
and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Code Section 83(b) or other applicable provision.

 

Section

Section
12.1 Transferability. Except as specifically permitted in an Award Agreement, during the Participant’s lifetime, any

Section
12.2 Designation of Beneficiary. A Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Stock
that is unsettled and/or cash that is unpaid in the event of the Participant’s death. Such designation of beneficiary may
be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice to the Company. Upon the death of a Participant and upon receipt by
the Company of proof of identity and the existence of a beneficiary at the time of the Participant’s death validly designated
by the Participant under the Plan, the Company shall deliver such Stock and/or cash to such beneficiary. In the event of the death
of a Participant in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s
death, the Company shall deliver such Stock and/or cash to the executor or the administrator of the estate of the Participant,
or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion,
may deliver such Stock and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents of the Participant as the Company may designate.
No beneficiary shall, prior to the death of the Participant by whom he has been designated, acquire any interest in the Stock
and/or cash credited to the Participant under the Plan.

vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions, as the case may be, immediately prior to such Applicable Event and (b) the
Committee may, but shall not be obligated to (i) cancel such Awards for the Change in Control Price or (ii) provide for the issuance
of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted
hereunder as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or (iii) provide that for a period of at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the Applicable Event, any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable as to all shares of Stock subject

all of the following forfeitures will result:

 

		(i)	The
                                         unexercised portion of each Option held by the Participant, whether or not vested, and
                                         any other Award not then settled will be immediately forfeited and canceled upon the
                                         occurrence of the Forfeiture Event; and

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

		(ii)	The
Participant will be obligated to repay to the Company, in cash, within five business days after demand is made therefor by the
Company, the total amount of Award Gain (as defined herein) realized by the Participant upon each exercise of an Option or settlement
of an Award that occurred on or after (A) the date that is six months prior to the occurrence of the Forfeiture Event, if
the Forfeiture Event occurred while the Participant was employed by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, or
(B) the date that is six months prior to the date the Participant’s employment by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate
of the Company terminated, if the Forfeiture Event occurred after the Participant ceased to be so employed. For purposes of this
Section, the term “Award Gain” shall mean (X) in respect of a given Option exercise, the product of (1) the
Fair Market Value per share of Stock at the date of such exercise (without regard to any subsequent change in the market price
of shares) minus the exercise price times (2) the number of shares as to which the Option was exercised at that date, and
(Y) in respect of any other settlement of an Award granted to the Participant, the Fair Market Value of the cash or Stock
paid or payable to the Participant less any cash or the Fair Market Value of any Stock or property (other than an Award or award
which would have itself then been forfeitable hereunder and excluding any payment of tax withholding) paid by the Participant
to the Company as a condition of or in connection such settlement.

 

		(b)	Events
Triggering Forfeiture. The forfeitures specified in Section 12.17(a) will be triggered upon the occurrence of any one of the
following Forfeiture Events at any time during a Participant’s employment by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate of
the Company, or during the one-year period following termination of such employment:

 

		(i)	If
                                         the Company or a Subsidiary is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material
                                         non-compliance of the Company or a Subsidiary with any financial reporting requirement
                                         under any applicable laws;

 

		(ii)	The
                                         Participant, acting alone or with others, directly or indirectly, (A) engages, either
                                         as employee, employer, consultant, advisor, or director, or as an owner, investor, partner,
                                         or stockholder unless the Participant’s interest is insubstantial, in any business
                                         in an area or region in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries conducts business
                                         at the date the event occurs, which is directly in competition with a business then conducted
                                         by the Company or s Subsidiary; (B) induces any customer or supplier of the Company
                                         or any Subsidiary with which the Company or a Subsidiary has a business relationship,
                                         to curtail, cancel, not renew, or not continue his or her or its business with the Company
                                         or such Subsidiary; or (C) induces, or attempts to influence, any associate of or
                                         service provider to the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate such employment or service.
                                         The Committee shall, in its discretion, determine which lines of business the Company
                                         and its Subsidiaries conduct on any particular date and which third parties may reasonably
                                         be deemed to be in competition with the Company or a Subsidiary. For purposes of this
                                         Section 12.17(b)(i), a Participant’s interest as a stockholder is insubstantial
                                         if it represents beneficial ownership of less than five percent of the outstanding class
                                         of stock, and a Participant’s interest as an owner, investor, or partner is insubstantial
                                         if it represents ownership, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, of less
                                         than five percent of the outstanding equity of the entity; 

 

		(iii)	The
Participant discloses, uses, sells, or otherwise transfers, except in the course of employment with or other service to the Company
or any Subsidiary, any confidential or proprietary information of the Company or any Subsidiary, including but not limited to
information regarding the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ current and potential customers, organization, associates,
finances, and methods of operations and investments, so long as such information has not otherwise been disclosed to the public
or is not otherwise in the public domain (other than by the Participant’s breach of this provision), except as required
by law or pursuant to legal process, or the Participant makes statements or representations, or otherwise communicates, directly
or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or takes any other action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage or be
damaging to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors, associates, advisors, businesses or
reputations, except as required by law or pursuant to legal process; or

 

		(iv)	The
Participant fails to cooperate with the Company or any Subsidiary in any way, including, without limitation, by making himself
or herself available to testify on behalf of the Company or such Subsidiary in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative, or otherwise fails to assist the Company or any Subsidiary in any way, including,
without limitation, in connection with any such action, suit, or proceeding by providing information and meeting and consulting
with members of management of, other representatives of, or counsel to, the Company or such Subsidiary, as reasonably requested.

 

		(v)	The
Participant, alone or in conjunction with another person, (A) interferes with or harms, or attempts to interfere with or
harm, the relationship of the Company or any Subsidiary with any person who at any time was a customer or supplier of the Company
or any Subsidiary or otherwise had a business relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary; or (A) hires, solicits for
hire, aids in or facilitates the hire, or causes to be hired, either as an employee, contractor or consultant, any person who
is currently employed, or was employed at any time during the six-month period prior thereto, as an employee, contractor or consultant
of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

		(c)	Agreement
Does Not Prohibit Competition or Other Participant Activities. Although the conditions set forth in this Section 12.17
shall be deemed to be incorporated into an Award, a Participant is not thereby prohibited from engaging in any activity set forth
in Section 12.17(b), including but not limited to competition with the Company and its Subsidiaries. The non-occurrence of
the Forfeiture Events set forth in Section 12.17(b) is a condition to the Participant’s right to realize and retain value
from his or her compensatory Options and Awards, and the consequence under the Plan if the Participant engages in an activity
giving rise to any such Forfeiture Event are the forfeitures specified herein. The Company and a Participant shall not be precluded
by this provision or otherwise from entering into other agreements concerning the subject matter of Section 12.17.
	 	 	 

		(d)	Committee
Discretion. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part the Company’s right to forfeiture under
this Section 12.17, but no such waiver shall be effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer
of the Company. In addition, the Committee may impose additional conditions on Awards, by inclusion of appropriate provisions
in the document evidencing or governing any such Award.
