    4.           DISTRIBUTION
APPOINTMENT AND REQUIREMENTS

    

    4.1           Distribution
Appointment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the requirements of this Section 4),
Supplier authorizes and appoints Distributor as a non-exclusive distributor to
sell the Supplier Products as part of Bundled Products in the
Territory.  Distributor may distribute the Licensed Software, in
Object Code form only, as integrated into and each Bundled Product, subject to
an End User Agreement as required by Section 4.2 and otherwise in accordance
with the licenses granted herein.  The terms “resell”, “sell”, “sale”,
“purchase” or similar terms mean, with respect to the Licensed Software
contained in the Bundled Products, licensing pursuant to an End User Agreement
and shall not include a transfer of title or of any of Supplier’s or its
supplier’s Intellectual Property in any of the Licensed Software or other
Supplier Products. Distributor may allow redistributors in Distributor’s normal
chain of distribution to sell the Bundled Products, provided that such
subdistributors are subject to the same requirements imposed on Distributor
under this Agreement and provided further that Supplier is expressly made a
third-party beneficiary of all agreements with such subdistributors, but
otherwise Distributor’s rights hereunder are non-sublicensable and
non-transferable.

    

    4.2           End User
Agreement.  Distributor shall distribute the Product to
end-users under the terms of an agreement (an “End User Agreement”) containing
the terms and conditions no less restrictive than those set forth in Appendix
3.  Distributor will enforce each such End User Agreement with at
least the same degree of diligence that Distributor uses to enforce similar
agreements for its own products or other software products that it distributes,
but in no event less than reasonable efforts.  Distributor shall
expressly state in the End User Agreement that Supplier shall be a third-party
beneficiary under the agreement and shall have the right to enforce the
agreement.  In addition, Distributor shall take all enforcement steps
with respect to each such End User Agreement as reasonably requested by
Supplier, and the parties shall assist and cooperate with each other in such
enforcement efforts.

    

    4.3           Export
Control.  Distributor will comply with all laws, administrative
regulations, and executive orders of any applicable jurisdiction relating to the
control of imports and exports of commodities and technical
data.  Distributor shall indemnify and hold Supplier harmless against
all claims, cost, damage, expense, or liability arising out of or in connection
with a breach of this Section 4.5.

    4.4           Government
Sales.  Distributor shall observe and enforce the following
provision with regard to the Licensed Software:  When licensed to a
U.S., state, or local government, all software produced or licensed by Supplier
is commercial computer software as defined in FAR 12.212, and has been developed
exclusively at private expense.  All technical data, or Supplier
commercial computer software or documentation is subject to the provisions of
FAR 12.211 – “Technical Data,” and FAR 12.212 – “Computer Software,”
respectively, or clauses providing Supplier equivalent protections in DFARS or
other agency-specific regulations.  Both parties recognize that state
and local governments are not bound by the FAR.  If the state or local
government will not accept the provisions of FAR 12.211 and 12.212 in their
licenses, then before making a sale, Distributor will give Supplier the option
of precluding Distributor from selling the Bundled Product to such state or
local government.

    

    4.5           Government
Certifications.  Each party will use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain government certifications, if required, and if financially
viable.

    5.2           Restrictions.  Distributor

of Supplier.

days following the date of this Agreement, the parties agree to issue a joint

to Distributor a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to
distribute such materials in electronic and print format.  Distributor
shall distribute such materials solely in conjunction with its marking efforts

    10.           CONFIDENTIALITY

    

    10.1           Protection of Confidential
Information.  Each party recognizes the importance to the other
of the other’s confidential or proprietary information that may be providing to
such party in connection with this Agreement (“Confidential Information”), and
recognizes that the disclosing party’s Confidential Information (and the
confidential and proprietary nature thereof) is critical to the business of the
disclosing party and that each party would not enter into this Agreement without
assurance that such information and the value thereof will be protected as
provided in this Section 10.  As a result, each party agrees: (a) to
hold the other’s Confidential Information and any information derived there from
in confidence and use all reasonable efforts with respect to the handling and
protection of such Confidential Information (including, without limitation, all
precautions the recipient employs with respect to its own Confidential
Information); and (b) to only use such Confidential Information in its
performance of its obligations under this Agreement and its exercise of those
rights and licenses granted under this Agreement.  Further, each party
agrees not to circulate Confidential Information within its organization except
to those employees, officers and directors who have a legitimate “need to know”
such information and who are obligated by appropriate written agreements to keep
such information confidential in a manner no less restrictive than set forth in
this Agreement, and each party acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible
and liable for such persons’ compliance with such obligations.

    10.2           Exclusions. Confidential
Information will not include information that the receiving party can prove
(a) was rightfully in the receiving party’s possession or known to the
receiving party without any obligation of confidentiality prior to receipt from
the disclosing party; (b) was independently developed by the receiving party as
a matter of record without reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential
Information; (c) was obtained from a third party who was not prohibited from
transmitting the information to the receiving party by a contractual, legal or
fiduciary obligation to the disclosing party; or (d) was or became generally
available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the receiving
party; provided, however, that should any information come within any
circumstance listed in this sentence, this sentence does not authorize the
receiving party to infringe any Intellectual Property of the disclosing
party.

    

    10.3           Disclosures Required by
Law.  If the receiving party is required to disclose the
disclosing party’s Confidential Information by law or a governmental authority,
including pursuant to a subpoena or court order, such Confidential Information
may be disclosed, provided that the receiving party: (a) promptly notifies
the disclosing party of the disclosure requirement; (b) cooperates with the
disclosing party’s reasonable efforts to resist or narrow the disclosure and to
obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; and (c) furnishes
only Confidential Information that the party is legally compelled to disclose
according to advice of its legal counsel.

    

    11.           REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

    

    11.1           Warranty.  Supplier
warrants to Distributor that the Supplier Products shall in normal use conform
in all material respects to their specifications set forth in the Documentation
for a period defined in Appendix 5 (“Warranty Period”).  All dates are
calculated from the date of shipment to Distributor.  In the event of
a failure of any Supplier Product to conform to its specifications during the
period defined in Exhibit D (“Warranty Periods”), Distributor shall return any
such non-conforming Supplier Product to Supplier for Supplier’s
inspection.  In the event that Supplier determines that such Supplier
Product does not conform to its specifications, Supplier shall have the right,
at its sole option, either: (i) to repair such Supplier Product to make it
conform to its specifications; (ii) to replace such Supplier Product with a
conforming Supplier Product; or (iii) to pay Distributor a pro-rated refund of
money paid by Distributor for such non-conforming Supplier Product less a
reasonable amount for the use of such Supplier Product to date.  The
foregoing expresses Distributor’s sole remedy, and Supplier’s sole liability,
for any breach of warranty by Supplier hereunder.

    11.2           Scope of Warranty and
Exclusions.  The foregoing warranty is for the sole and
exclusive benefit of Distributor, and does not extend to any third parties,
including without limitation any customers.  The foregoing warranty is
solely and exclusively for Supplier Products, and does not apply to any other
goods or services of Supplier, Distributor or of third parties, and does not
apply to the combination of Supplier Products with any other goods or services,
or for any misuse or abuse of Supplier Products, or the use of Supplier Products
in any manner inconsistent with the applicable
Documentation.  Distributor shall not extend on Supplier’s behalf any
warranty from Supplier, nor shall Distributor direct or instruct any third
party, including without any customers, to contact Supplier directly or
indirectly with respect to either the Supplier Products or the Bundled
Products.  In the event that any such third party contacts Supplier
directly with respect to either the Supplier Products or the Bundled Products,
Supplier shall direct such third party to contact Distributor
directly.

    

    11.3           Product
Returns.  Prior to returning any Supplier Product, whether for
exchange or warranty or non warranty action, Distributor must obtain a return
materials authorization (“RMA”) number from Supplier, and display such RMA
number prominently on the packaging for any such returned Supplier
Products.  Distributor must return all Supplier Products to Supplier
with shipping charges prepaid.  Supplier will not accept collect
shipments.  Any Products returned to Supplier other than in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement may be refused by Supplier, at its sole
discretion.

    

    11.4           Out of Warranty
Repair.  For Supplier Products which fail to conform to their
specifications after the applicable warranty period has expired but during the
term of this Agreement, Distributor may return such Supplier Products to
Supplier for repair or replacement at Supplier’s then-current prices and terms
after obtaining an RMA number.

     
 

    12.           INDEMNITY

    

    12.1           By
Supplier.  Supplier shall defend or settle at its expense any
third party claim or suit instituted against Distributor arising out of or in
connection with an assertion that a Supplier Product infringes upon any United
States patent, any trademark rights enforceable in the United States, or any
copyright enforceable in the United States, or misappropriates any trade
secret.  Supplier shall pay any damages, costs of suit and reasonable
attorneys’ fees, if any, finally awarded against Distributor that are
attributable to any such suit or the amount of the settlement
thereof.

    

    12.2           Additional Supplier
Obligations.  In addition to the obligations of Section 12.1
above, if Supplier determines that a Supplier Product (or any portion thereof)
is or may be subject to an infringement claim, Supplier may, at its option and
expense, either procure for Distributor the right to continued using the
Supplier Products and the licenses granted under this Agreement, or replace or
modify the allegedly infringing component or item so that it becomes
non-infringing but substantially equivalent in functionality and
performance.  If Supplier determines that neither of the foregoing
alternatives is financially practical or otherwise reasonably available,
Supplier may immediately terminate this Agreement.

    12.3           Exceptions and
Limitations.  Supplier’s obligations under this Section 12 will
not apply with respect to any of the Products or portions or components thereof
that are (i) provided by any third party, (ii) modified by any person other
than Supplier where the alleged infringement relates to such modification, (iii)
combined with other software or unsupported hardware where the alleged
infringement relates to such combination, or (iv) used other than in accordance
with this Agreement or the Documentation, nor shall Supplier’s obligations under
this Section 12 apply with respect to the Products to the extent the alleged
infringement relates to the bundling and not to the Supplier Products standing
alone.  In addition, Supplier’s obligations hereunder will not apply
to any alleged infringement occurring after Distributor has received written
notice from Supplier of such suit or proceeding unless Supplier has given
written permission for such continuing infringement.

    

    12.4           By
Distributor.  Distributor shall indemnify, defend, and hold

    12.5           Procedures.  The
indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 12 will not apply unless:
(a) the party claiming indemnification provides written notice to the other
party of a claim, demand, suit or action, promptly after such claim, demand,
suit or action, is asserted in writing or by legal action against the party
claiming indemnification, provided that the failure of the party claiming
indemnification to so notify the indemnitor shall not relieve the indemnitor
from any obligation which the indemnitor would otherwise have pursuant to this
Agreement except to the extent that the indemnitor has been materially
prejudiced by such failure to so notify; (b) the party claiming indemnification
furnishes to the indemnitor, on request, information reasonably available to the
indemnified party for such defense; and (c) the party claiming indemnification
allows the indemnitor sole control of the defense and settlement of such claim,
demand, suit or action, provided that the indemnified party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel and participate in the defense and investigation of
such claim, demand, suit or action at its sole cost.  In the event any
such claim, demand, suit or action is based partially on an indemnified claim
described in Section 12.1 and partially on an indemnified claim described in
Section 12.4, any payments and reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection
with such claims are to be apportioned between the parties in accordance with
the degree of cause attributable to such party.

circumstances shall be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of

other purposes of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively)
only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.  The waiver

Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect unless
terminated as provided herein. Termination of this Agreement, unless terminated

attempts to reverse engineer the Telmarine Technology.  Otherwise,
this Agreement may be terminated by either party for a breach of any of its
material terms, provided the non-breaching party provides to the breaching party
30 days written notice describing such breach and offering the breaching party
an opportunity to cure.  Failure to cure a material breach within the
notice period shall result in automatic termination of this
Agreement.

    

    3.3           Survival of
Obligations.  The obligations of the parties under this
Agreement, which by their nature would continue beyond the termination,
cancellation or expiration of this Agreement, shall survive termination,

terminate.

    

    (c
)           Licensee must
immediately cease use of the Telmarine Technology, remove the Licensed Software
from all computers, servers and appliances, and return all copies of the
Telmarine Software and Documentation to Telmarine, or, at Telmarine’s option,
destroy all copies of the Telmarine Software and Documentation in any
form

    

    (d)           Within
five (5) business days of such termination, Licensee must certify to Telmarine

    Intellectual
Property Indemnity

    

    4.1           Indemnity.  Subject
to the limitations of Sections 4.2 and 6.2, Telmarine will defend, at its own
expense, any claim, suit or proceeding brought against Licensee to the extent it
is based upon a claim that any Licensed Program licensed pursuant to this
Agreement infringes upon any patent or any copyright or trade secret of any
third party.  Licensee agrees that it shall promptly notify Telmarine
in writing of any such claim or action and give Telmarine full information and
assistance in connection therewith.  Telmarine shall have the sole
right to control the defense of any such claim or action and the sole right to
settle or compromise any such claim or action.  If Licensee complies
with the provisions hereof, Telmarine will pay damages, costs and expenses
finally awarded to third parties against Licensee in such action (except as
limited by Sections 4.2 and 6.2).  If the Telmarine Technology is, or
in Telmarine’s opinion might be, held to infringe as set forth above, Telmarine
may, at its option replace or modify such Telmarine Technology so as to avoid
infringement, or procure the right for Licensee to continue the use of such
Telmarine Technology.  If neither of such alternatives is, in
Telmarine’s opinion, commercially reasonable, such Telmarine Technology shall be
returned to Telmarine and Telmarine’s shall refund the License Fee paid by
Licensee to Telmarine for such Telmarine Technology.

    

    4.2           Limitations.  Telmarine
will have no liability for, and no obligation to defend Licensee against, any
claim of infringement to the extent such claim is based on (a) use of a
Telmarine Technology outside the scope of this Agreement; (b) use of a
superseded or altered release of a Telmarine Technology if the infringement
would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the
Telmarine Technology; (c) the combination, operation, or use of a Telmarine
Technology with other software, hardware or other materials if such infringement
would have been avoided by avoiding the use of the Telmarine Technology with
such software, hardware or other materials; (d) a theory of inducement of
infringement or contributory infringement; (e) any modification of the Telmarine
Technology not made by Telmarine; or (f) Licensee’s use of the Telmarine
Technology after Telmarine’s notice that Licensee shall cease use of the
Telmarine Technology due to such claim.

    

    4.3           Entire
Liability.  TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE FOREGOING
STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF TELMARINE TO LICENSEE CONCERNING INFRINGEMENT OF
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PATENT, COPYRIGHT AND
TRADE SECRET RIGHTS.

inconsistent with the respective Documentation or this Agreement, (b) any
Telmarine Technology which has been modified by anyone other than Telmarine, (c)

with the respective Documentation, subject to the restrictions of Clauses 5.2

    General

    

    7.1           Notices.  All
notices under this Agreement shall be sent to a party at the respective address

    7.5           Severability.  If
any provision in this Agreement is found or held to be invalid or unenforceable,
then the meaning of such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible,
so as to render the provision enforceable, and if no feasible interpretation
would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this
Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed
provision is essential and material to the rights or benefits received by either
party.  In such event, the parties shall use their best efforts to
negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or
agreement that most nearly affects their intent in entering into this
Agreement.

    

    7.6           No Waiver.  A waiver
of a breach or default under this Agreement shall not be a waiver of any other
breach or default.  Failure of either party to enforce compliance with
any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such
term or condition unless accompanied by a clear written statement that such term
or condition is waived.

obligations and licenses of the parties hereunder shall cease, except that (a)
all obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of termination
(including without limitation, payment obligations) and any remedies for breach
of this Agreement shall survive any termination and (b) the provisions of
Sections 4 (Proprietary Rights), 5 (Confidential Information), 6 (Payments), 7
(Warranty and Disclaimers), 8 (Indemnification), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 11

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

    

    10.1           Entire Agreement. This
Agreement (including the attached exhibits) constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties with regard to, and supersedes all prior negotiations,
understandings or agreements (oral or written) between the parties relating to,
the subject matter of this Agreement (and all past dealing or industry custom).
Any inconsistent or additional terms on any related purchase order, confirmation
or similar form, even if signed by the parties after the date hereof, shall have
no force or effect under this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which is an original, but together constituting
one and the same instrument. Execution of a facsimile copy shall have the same
force and effect as execution of an original, and a facsimile signature shall be
deemed an original and valid signature. No changes, modifications or waivers may
be made to this Agreement unless in writing and signed by both parties. The
failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time
for any period will not be construed as a waiver of such rights. Except as
specifically provided otherwise, each right and remedy in this Agreement is in
addition to any other right or remedy, at law or in equity, and the exercise of
one right or remedy will not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy. If
any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable,
that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so
that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and
enforceable.

    

    10.2           Publicity. Licensee hereby
consents to Licensor's inclusion of Licensee's name in customer listings that
may be published as part of Licensor's marketing efforts. Licensee further
agrees that it will, from time to time upon Licensor's request, provide Licensor

connection with its marketing efforts (including but not limited to, issuing
press releases, speaking with prospective customers as reference and writing
customer testimonials concerning the arrangements under this
Agreement).

    

    10.3           Governing Law. This Agreement
shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas applied to
contracts made and to be fully performed entirely within such State between
residents of such State. All disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Texas state courts of
Collin County, Texas (or, if there is exclusive federal jurisdiction, the United
States District Court of Texas), and the parties consent to the personal and
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts.

non-breaching party will suffer irreparable damage for which it will have no
adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the non-breaching party shall be entitled
to injunctive and other equitable remedies to prevent or restrain, temporarily
or permanently, such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of
posting any bond or surety. Such remedies shall be in addition to any other
remedy that the non-breaching party may have at law or in equity.

ARTICLE III. CONSTRUCTION

	3.01	 	Gender and Number. The masculine pronoun whenever used in the Plan shall include the
feminine, and the feminine pronoun whenever used in the Plan shall include the masculine, in
each case as the context or facts may require. Whenever any words are used herein in the
singular, they shall be construed as if they were also used in the plural in all cases where
the context so applies.

 

 

	3.02	 	Captions. The captions to the articles and sections of this Plan are for convenience
only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.
	 
	3.03	 	Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of
the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision
had not been included.
	 
	3.04	 	Controlling Law. The Plan and all related documents shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict
of law principles of any state. Any persons or companies who now are or shall subsequently
become parties to the Plan shall be deemed to consent to this provision.
	 
	3.05	 	No Right to Employment. This Plan does not confer nor shall it be construed as
creating an express or implied contract of employment between any Participant and the
Partnership, General Partner or Affiliate or other party. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere
with or limit in any way the right of the Partnership, General Partner or Affiliate to
terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Employee any right to
continue in the employment of the Partnership, General Partner or Affiliate.

ARTICLE IV. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

	4.01	 	Eligibility. In order to be eligible to participate in the Plan for a Performance
Period, except as set forth in Section 4.03, an individual must be (a) an Employee; (b) hired
before the commencement of the last quarter of the Performance Period; (c) employed on the
last day of the Plan Year and (d) employed on the date an Actual Award is paid as set forth
herein.
	 
	4.02	 	No Right to Participation. No Employee shall have a right to participate in the
Plan, regardless of prior participation in the Plan.
	 
	4.03	 	Status Change During Performance Period. Unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator in its sole discretion, a Participant will forfeit his or her right to an Actual
Award if the Participant is not employed on the date an Actual Award is paid pursuant to
Section 6.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant is employed for at
least six (6) months during a Performance Period, and the Participant dies, becomes disabled,
or retires, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may grant a pro-rata award to such
Participant.
	 
	4.04	 	Leave of Absence. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, except when leave
is taken under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”), the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994

 

 

	 	 	(“USERRA”), or the reasonable accommodation provisions of the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990, as amended (“ADA”) (or equivalent state laws), or is otherwise prohibited by
any applicable law, a Participant on paid or un-paid leave for more than ninety (90) days
during any Plan Year will forfeit his or her participation in the Plan for such Plan Year.

ARTICLE V. DETERMINATION OF AWARDS

	5.01	 	Timing of Establishment of Performance Goals. Except for Actual Awards paid out
under Section 5.05, for each Performance Period, the Administrator shall establish Performance
Goals. Performance Goals will be allocated between Financial Performance Goals and Individual
Performance Goals so that the total allocation is one hundred percent (100%). This allocation
may change each Plan Year as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The
Individual Performance Goals and Financial Performance Goals may change each Plan Year as
determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
	 
	5.02	 	Target Award Level. A Target Award Level shall be determined for each Participant,
specified by the Administrator as a percentage of the Participant’s Base Earnings, which the
Participant has the opportunity to earn as an Actual Award for each Performance Period. A
Participant’s Target Award Level shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole
discretion based on a Participant’s responsibility level or the position or positions held
during the Performance Period.
	 
	 	 	If any Participant holds more than one position during a Performance Period, then the
Administrator may choose to designate different Target Award Levels with respect to each
position and the Actual Award may be pro-rated to reflect (to the nearest monthly
increment) the period during which such Participant was subject to each Target Award Level.
	 
	5.03	 	Establishment of Performance Goals. Target Award Levels and Performance Goals,
including allocation between Financial Performance Goals and Individual Performance Goals,
will be established by the Administrator in its sole discretion. A Participant earns an
Actual Award for a Performance Period based on the level of achievement of the Performance
Goals established by the Administrator allocated between Financial Performance Goals and/or
Individual Performance Goals. The Financial Performance Goals will be measured against the
financial performance of a Participant’s Business Unit within the Partnership and/or the
Partnership on a consolidated basis. The Administrator in its sole discretion shall select
the applicable Financial Performance Goals and Individual Performance Goals for the respective
Performance Period.
	 
	5.04	 	Establishment of Target Award Level for Participants in Commercial Roles. A high
degree of flexibility is appropriate in establishing Target Award Levels for Participants in
Commercial Roles. As a result, for each Performance Period, the

 

 

	 	 	CEO may recommend to the Administrator a Target Award Level that will represent a bonus
opportunity for such Participants in excess of Target Award Levels for similar
non-Commercial roles. Actual Awards will be made from this additional Target Award Level
at the end of a Performance Period only in the event the Administrator determines that a
Participant has achieved results that have had a positive, material impact on the financial
performance of a Business Unit, or the Partnership on a consolidated basis.
	 
	5.05	 	Payment of Additional Actual Awards to Participants in Commercial Roles. In certain
business circumstances, the CEO, in consultation with the Investment Review Committee, may
recommend that certain Actual Awards should be paid to Participants in Commercial Roles that
are in excess of Target Award Levels for similar non-Commercial roles. Actual Awards paid out
under this Section 5.05 may be paid out over certain pre-established payment schedules and/or
payment terms. For purposes of this Section 5.05 only, Actual Awards will be determined by
the CEO, in consultation with the Investment Review Committee, and submitted to the Committee
for review and final approval.
	 
	5.06	 	Calculation of Actual Awards. Except for Actual Awards to be paid under Section 5.05,
for each Performance Period, the Administrator shall calculate an Actual Award based on the
performance of the Business Unit or Partnership, as applicable, compared against the Financial
Performance Goals and the Individual Performance Goals of the Participant, as applicable.
Actual performance that exceeds the Performance Goals shall, except as determined by the
Administrator, result in an Actual Award that is proportionally greater than the Target Award
Level up to two hundred percent (200%) of the Target Award Level. The Administrator shall
have sole discretion in establishing the amount or percentage of a Participant’s Actual Award
relative to the Target Award Level based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals
for the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish
minimum levels of achievement for Performance Goals, below which no Participant shall receive
an Actual Award.
	 
	5.07	 	Changes in Performance Goals. Each Participant’s Actual Award shall be based on the
Target Award Levels established by the Administrator pursuant to Section 5.02, provided that
the Administrator may adjust Performance Goals to take into account extraordinary or
unanticipated circumstances or events.
	 
	5.08	 	Award Adjustments. No Participant shall be entitled to an Actual Award under the
Plan. The Administrator shall have the sole discretion to increase, reduce or eliminate the
amount of a Participant’s Actual Award otherwise payable under the Plan.

 

 

ARTICLE VI. PAYMENT OF ACTUAL AWARDS

	6.01	 	Timing and Form of Payment. No Participant shall be vested in Actual Awards, nor
Actual Awards made, prior to the end of the applicable Performance Period. A Participant’s
Actual Award shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance
Period. To the extent a Participant has a “legally binding right” (within the meaning of Code
Section 409A) to his Actual Award, such Actual Award shall be paid in cash as soon as
practicable after, and no later than, March 15th following the end of the calendar
year in which the Award is no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the
meaning of Code Section 409A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, all
Actual Awards paid out under Section 5.05 shall be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture
until such Actual Awards are paid out.

ARTICLE VII. ADMINISTRATION

	7.01	 	Administrator Authority. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator, which,
in addition to the other powers set forth herein, shall have the full power, subject to, and
within the limits of the Plan, to:

	 	(a)	 	make all determinations and interpretations and approve all rules as
may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including, but
not limited to, those necessary to resolve any ambiguities with respect to any of
the terms and provisions of the Plan;
	 
	 	(b)	 	exercise all powers and perform such acts in connection with the Plan
as are deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the best interests of the
Partnership, General Partner or Affiliate;
	 
	 	(c)	 	determine the size and types of Target Award Levels and Actual
Awards;
	 
	 	(d)	 	determine the terms and conditions of Target Award Levels and Actual
Awards in a manner consistent with the Plan;
	 
	 	(e)	 	construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or instrument
	 
	 	 	 	entered into under the Plan;
	 
	 	(f)	 	establish, amend or waive rules and regulations for the Plan’s
administration; and
	 
	 	(g)	 	subject to the provisions of Article V, amend the terms and
conditions of any outstanding Target Award Levels to the extent such terms and
conditions are within the sole discretion of the Administrator as provided in the
Plan.

 

 

	7.02	 	Authorized Agents. The Administrator may authorize any officer of the General Partner
to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Administrator, including administrative
guidelines for this Plan.
	 
	7.03	 	Binding Decisions. All determinations and decisions of the Administrator as to any
disputed question arising under the Plan, including questions of construction and
interpretation, shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties.

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	8.01	 	The Administrator may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any
time.

ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS

	9.01	 	Nontransferability. No right or interest of any Participant in the Plan shall be
assignable or transferable, or subject to any lien, directly, by operation of law or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge and
bankruptcy.
	 
	9.02	 	Tax Withholding. The Partnership, the General Partner or Affiliates, as applicable,
shall have the right to deduct from all payments under the Plan any foreign, federal, state or
local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.
	 
	9.03	 	Non-uniform Determinations. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan
(including without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form,
amount, and timing of such payments, the terms and provisions of such payments, and the
agreement evidencing same) need not be uniform and may be made selectively among persons who
receive, or are eligible to receive, Actual Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons
are similarly situated.
	 
	9.04	 	No Fund. The Partnership shall have no obligation to reserve or otherwise fund in
advance any amounts which are or may in the future become payable under this Plan. Any funds,
which the Partnership acting in its sole discretion determines to reserve for future payments
under this Plan, may be commingled with other funds of the Partnership and need not in any way
be segregated from other assets or funds held by the Partnership.
	 
	9.05	 	Successors. All obligations of the Partnership under the Plan shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Partnership, whether the existence of such
successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise,
of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Partnership.
	 
	9.06	 	Other Plans. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Administrator or the
Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be
either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
