Should a third party service provider be retained, such fees, costs and expenses shall be paid by the Plan, out of the 25% allocation of Carried Interest from the Funds. 

		
	b.
	Each Employee Carry Pool will consist of 100 points, with each point representing 1% of such pool. Awards of Employee Carry shall be made annually as of January 1 of that year, provided that Employee Carry may be allocated initially to either the Company or to the general partner of the Employee Carry Pool, as relevant, and awarded later to Participants. Forfeited Employee Carry awards shall be re-awarded to other Key Employee(s). Awards in each case are to be made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

		
	c.
	Each Award shall specify the Employee Carry Pool year and the number of points awarded to the Participant. Except as further specified in this Section 5.c, Awards shall vest in five equal annual installments of 20% on each January 1 following the Award date. Awards granted under: (i) the Employee Carry Pools established in the years 2012 through 2014 shall vest over a period of two years, and (ii) the Employee Carry Pools established in the years 2015 through 2016 and in 2017, shall vest over a period of four years. The vesting schedule for an Award to a Participant who has not achieved the third anniversary of his or her hire date will be tolled until January 1 of the year commencing on or after such third anniversary, which shall count as the first vesting date, at which point the vesting schedule will commence as if first awarded on such January 1.

		
	d.
	Each Award will be communicated to the applicable Participant by his or her manager during fiscal year-end reviews in conjunction with compensation discussions or at other times as determined by the Company or Compensation Committee.

		
	e.
	The special ledger as referenced in Section 5.a above, shall reflect an Award account for each Participant. The Award account shall record the following information for each Award made to a Participant: (i) the name of the Participant; (ii) the amount of the Award granted to him or her (expressed in number of points); (iii) the Grant Date; and (iv) payment details. The Award account shall be maintained under the Plan solely for participant informational purposes.  

		
	6.
	Payment of Cash Attributable to Awards.  Payments of cash attributable to awards of Employee Carry shall be made out of the Employee Carry Pool either through the Company’s payroll system, net of required withholdings, or made directly, gross of taxes, except for required U.S. income tax withholdings for non-U.S. residents and, if applicable, any required 

state income tax withholdings for nonresidents of a state, according to the provisions set forth in Section 10.  Payments will be made, at a minimum, annually by January 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant vests in the award (and no later than December 31st of such year), subject to Section 5.  No Awards under the Plan shall be paid prior to vesting.

		
	7.
	Termination.  Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment or Service (for whatever reason) any Awards granted but unvested prior to the date of termination shall be automatically cancelled and forfeited; provided, however, that in the case of Termination of Employment or Service by reason of a Participant’s death, the Participant’s unvested amount shall be considered vested and will be payable to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary when Plan payments are made. Any not-for-Cause Termination of Employment or Service of a Participant whose Awards have fully vested shall result in a 20% reduction of any and all future amounts to be paid to such Participant relating to such Awards. Any Termination of Employment or Service of a Participant for Cause whose Awards have fully vested shall result in the cancellation of all Awards and a 100% forfeiture of any and all future amounts otherwise payable to Participant relating to such Awards. The obligations of the Participant regarding Confidentiality and non-Disclosure, non-Competition shall survive the Termination of Employment or Service. The determination of whether Termination of Employment or Service is for-Cause shall be made: (i) in the case of the CEO, by the Board, and (ii) in all other cases, by the CFO and/or General Counsel, taking into account, in each case, any additional definition of cause contained in a Participant’s Employment or Service Agreement (if any). 

		
	8.
	Transferability. No Award payable under this Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, charge, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (“Transfer”) such Award shall be void.  No Award shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of the person entitled to such Award.  If any Participant or Beneficiary shall become bankrupt or attempt to Transfer any Award, the Participant or Beneficiary’s right to receive payment with respect to such Award shall, in the discretion of the Company, cease and terminate.  In such event, the Company may hold or apply the same or any part thereof for the benefit of the Participant or his or her Beneficiary(ies), his or her spouse, children, or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in such proportions as the Carry Plan Committee may deem proper, in its sole and absolute discretion.

		
	9.
	Limitations.  Participants shall acquire no rights hereunder except for the right to receive cash in payment of Awards in accordance with the terms of this Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Plan shall, or shall be construed to: (i) give any Key Employee any right to be awarded Carried Interest; (ii) give any Participant any rights whatsoever with respect to any equity in the Company; (iii) limit in any way the right of the Company and/or its Affiliate to terminate a Participant’s employment with the Company and/or its Affiliate at any time; or (iv) be evidence of any agreement or 

understanding, expressed or implied, that the Company and/or its Affiliate will employ a Participant in any particular position or at any particular rate of remuneration.

		
	10.
	Structure of Employee Carry Pools.

		
	a.
	Carried Interest from Funds (derived from separate accounts) consists of compensation income for the Company, and the payment of Employee Carry with respect to such amounts shall constitute wages for federal income tax purposes at the time of the payment thereof.  Such payments shall be subject to all applicable withholding for federal, state and local income tax and FICA.

		
	b.
	Carried Interest from Funds (derived from commingled products and single client funds) constitute equity interests in such commingled products and single client funds, which are profits interests for Federal income tax purposes, as described in IRS Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43.  All such Carried Interests from Funds that are received in a year shall be treated for Federal income tax purposes as owned by a partnership in which (except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 10.c below) the Company owns a 75% interest and the Participants own the remaining 25% interest in proportion to their respective points for the year.  A separate partnership shall be created for each calendar year (the “Annual Profits Interest Partnership”).  Each Participant shall be treated as receiving his interest in each such Annual Profits Interest Partnership on account of services such Participant is, and will be, rendering to such partnership in the capacity as a partner therein.

		
	c.
	To the extent, if any, that a Carried Interest from a Fund includes a capital interest as of the date that an interest in such Carried Interest is awarded to a Participant, that amount of capital shall be treated separately and in the same manner as Carried Interest from Funds (derived from separate accounts), as described in Section 10.a above.  The Participant’s partnership interest in the Annual Profits Interest Partnership shall include only the profits interest portion of such Carried Interest.

		
	d.
	Any Carried Interest derived from Funds that do not fit within Section 10.a., b., or c. above will be treated as required by applicable tax law.

		
	11.
	Amendment and Termination of the Plan.  The Compensation Committee may amend or terminate this Plan at any time; provided, however, that an amendment to or termination of this Plan shall not adversely affect the rights of Participants or Beneficiaries to payments in respect of any Award that has been granted prior to the date of such amendment or termination, without such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s written consent.

		
	12.
	Miscellaneous. 

		
	a.
	This Plan is effective as of January 1, 2018.

		
	b.
	The Company shall have the right to deduct from all payments under this Plan any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments. Such withholding may be made from other amounts due from the Company to the Participant (including salary or bonus, deferred or otherwise) or upon any other event that would cause an Award to be deemed taxable compensation or wages to the Participant.

		
	c.
	The Company shall have the right to: (i) withhold from any Award or distribution to Participants any amount that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, is needed to satisfy any clawback, reserve account or similar obligation to a Fund, and (ii) to require the Participant to return Awards and distributions made to the Participant hereunder to the extent necessary to satisfy any clawback or similar obligation to a Fund after taking into account amounts withheld pursuant to this clause (c).

		
	d.
	No amounts payable in respect of any Award or received by any Participant pursuant to this Plan, shall be included as “wages” or “salary” in determining the amount of any payment under any welfare benefit, pension plan, profit sharing plan, or any other employee benefit plan (e.g., life insurance or disability insurance) of the Company, unless specifically permitted by the terms of any such plan.    

		
	e.
	This Plan and Awards granted hereunder shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to principles of conflicts of laws.
