5. Section 8 of the Incentive Plan is hereby amending by adding the following subsection (o) to the end thereof:

“(o) Company Policies. All Awards shall be subject to any Clawback Policy, share trading policies and other policies that may be implemented by the Board or the Committee from time to time.”

6. Except as amended hereby, the provisions of the Incentive Plan shall continue in full force and effect, and no other provisions in the Incentive Plan shall be deemed amended except as may be necessary to effectuate this Amendment.
