The purchase price for the shares of Class C Common Stock for which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company as designated by the Committee or as specified in the applicable Award Agreement, pursuant to one or more of the following methods: (A) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by personal check or wire transfer); or (B) in each case to the extent expressly permitted by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise: (1) in shares of Class C Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the shares being purchased and satisfying such other reasonable requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided, that such shares have been held by the Participant for no less than six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying GAAP), (2) partly in cash and partly in such shares, (3) if the Class C Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act and traded on a national securities exchange, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell such shares obtained upon the exercise of such Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the shares being purchased, (4) by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note, or (5) through net settlement in shares of Class C Common Stock. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to an Option until the Company has issued the shares issuable in accordance with the exercise of such Option to such Participant following the exercise date of such Option. No fractional shares of Class C Common Stock will be issued upon exercise of an Option, but instead cash will be paid for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of shares will be rounded downward to the next whole share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, elect at any time to pay cash or part cash and part shares of Class C Common Stock in lieu of issuing only shares in respect of such exercise. If a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing any shares in respect of the exercise of an Option, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the product of the number of shares subject to the Option for which a cash payment is being made multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value per share of Class C Common Stock as of the date of exercise over the Option Price.

(d)    ISOs. The Committee may grant Options exercisable for Class C Common Stock under the Plan that are intended to be ISOs. Such ISOs shall comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. No ISO may be granted to any Participant who, at the time of such grant, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Option Price for such ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share on the date the ISO is granted and (ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted. Any Participant who disposes of shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO either (i) within two (2) years after the date of grant of such ISO or (ii) within one (1) year after the transfer of such shares to the Participant, shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition. All Options granted under the Plan are intended to be nonqualified stock options, unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an ISO. If an Option is intended to be an ISO, and if for any reason such Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such non-qualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a nonqualified stock option granted under the Plan; provided, that such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan’s requirements relating to nonqualified stock options. In no event shall any member of the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates (or their respective employees, officers or directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other Person) due to the failure of an Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

(e)    Attestation. Wherever in the Plan or any Award Agreement a Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering shares of Class C Common Stock, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such shares, in which case the

Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and/or shall withhold such number of shares from the shares acquired by the exercise of the Option, as appropriate.

(f)    Compliance With Laws, Etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner in which the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as it may be amended from time to time, or any other Applicable Law or the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded.

7.    Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)    Grants. The Committee may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation Right independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right in connection with an Option or a portion thereof. A Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same number of shares of Class C Common Stock covered by such Option (or such lesser number of shares as the Committee may determine), and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in the applicable Award Agreement).

(b)    Terms. The exercise price per share of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be an amount determined by the Committee but in no event shall such amount be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Class C Common Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Right on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted (other than in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted in substitution of previously granted awards, as described in Section 3 of the Plan); provided, that in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, the exercise price may not be less than the Option Price of the related Option. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of the Class C Common Stock over (B) the exercise price per share, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Class C Common Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender to the Company the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of the Class C Common Stock over (B) the Option Price per share, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Class C Common Stock covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. In addition, each Stock Appreciation Right that is granted in conjunction with an Option or a portion thereof shall automatically terminate upon the exercise of such Option or portion thereof, as applicable. Payment shall be made in shares or in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash (any such shares valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Committee. For purposes of this Section 7 the exercise date of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be the later of (i) the date on which a notice of exercise is received by the Company stating the number of shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised, and (ii) the date on which any condition for exercise imposed by the Committee that is consistent with the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement is satisfied. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares issuable under an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights until the Company has issued the shares issuable in accordance with the exercise of such Stock Appreciation Rights to such Participant following the exercise date of such Stock Appreciation Rights. No fractional shares of Class C Common Stock shall be issued in payment for Stock Appreciation Rights, but instead cash shall be paid for a fraction of a share or, if the Committee shall so determine, the number of shares shall be rounded downward to the next whole share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, elect at any time to pay cash or part cash and part shares of Class C Common Stock in

lieu of issuing only shares in respect of such exercise. If a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing any shares in respect of the exercise of an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the product of the number of shares subject to such Award of Stock Appreciation Rights for which a cash payment is being made multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value per share of Class C Common Stock as of the date of exercise over the exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Rights.

(c)    Limitations. The Committee may impose, in its discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability of Stock Appreciation Rights as it may deem fit consistent with the Plan (including, but not limited to Section 5(b) of the Plan), but in no event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted.

8.    Other Stock-Based Awards.

The Committee, in its discretion, may grant or sell Stock Awards of unrestricted shares of Class C Common Stock, Stock Awards of restricted shares of Class C Common Stock, Stock Awards of restricted share units over shares of Class C Common Stock and Stock Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, shares of Class C Common Stock (“Other Stock-Based Awards”), in each case subject to Section 5(b) of the Plan. Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions (subject to Section 5(b) of the Plan), as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the attainment of Performance Goals pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Stock Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made; the number and class of shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares; and all other terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable). The Committee may, in its discretion, elect at any time to pay cash or part cash and part shares in lieu of issuing any shares in respect of such Other-Stock Based Awards; provided, that, if a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing any shares in respect of an Other Stock-Based Award, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the product of the number of shares for which a cash payment is being made multiplied by the Fair Market Value per share of the Class C Common Stock covered by the Other Stock-Based Award. Unless the Committee provides otherwise in the Award Agreement, a Participant granted an Other Stock-Based Award consisting of restricted shares of Class C Common Stock shall have the right to vote such shares and the right to receive any dividend payments or distributions declared or paid with respect to such shares; provided, that all cash, stock dividends and other property declared or paid with respect to such shares shall be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the related Other Stock-Based Award and shall be paid only upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions and/or achievement of the Performance Goals applicable to such Other Stock-Based Award.

9.    Performance Compensation Awards.

(a)    General. The Committee shall have the authority to make a Stock Award and/or a cash bonus Award to any Participant and designate such award as a Performance Compensation Award. Any Stock Award or cash bonus Award designated by the Committee as a Performance Compensation Award shall be subject to achievement of Performance Goals over a Performance Period, as established by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.

(b)    Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. For Performance Compensation Awards, the Committee shall have discretion to select the length of Performance Periods, the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards to be issued, the Performance

Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goal(s) that is (are) to apply and the Performance Formula(e). Within the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period, the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Compensation Awards issued or to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and record the same in writing.

(c)    Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s) for Performance Compensation Awards may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company (and/or one or more of the Company or any of its Affiliates, divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments, administrative departments or any combination of the foregoing) and may include, but are not limited to, any one of the following measures, which, in the case of financial measures, may be determined in accordance with GAAP or on a non-GAAP basis: (i) net earnings, net income (before or after taxes) or consolidated net income; (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) net revenue or net revenue growth; (iv) gross revenue or gross revenue growth, gross profit or gross profit growth; (v) net operating profit (before or after taxes); (vi) return measures (including, without limitation, return on investment, assets, capital, employed capital, invested capital, equity or sales); (vii) cash flow measures (including, without limitation, operating cash flow, free cash flow or cash flow return on capital), which may but are not required to be measured on a per share basis; (viii) actual or adjusted earnings before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization (including EBIT and EBITDA); (ix) gross or net operating margins; (x) productivity ratios; (xi) share price (including, without limitation, growth measures and total stockholder return); (xii) expense targets or cost reduction goals, general and administrative expense savings; (xiii) operating efficiency; (xiv) objective measures of customer/client satisfaction; (xv) working capital targets; (xvi) measures of economic value added or other ‘value creation’ metrics; (xvii) enterprise value; (xviii) sales; (xix) stockholder return; (xx) customer/client retention; (xxi) competitive market metrics; (xxii) employee retention; (xxiii) objective measures of personal targets, goals or completion of projects (including, without limitation, succession and hiring projects, completion of specific acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations or other corporate transactions or capital-raising transactions, expansions of specific business operations and meeting divisional or project budgets); (xxiv) comparisons of continuing operations to other operations; (xxv) market share; (xxvi) cost of capital, debt leverage year-end cash position or book value; (xxvii) strategic objectives; or (xxviii) any combination of the foregoing. Any one or more of the Performance Criteria may be stated as a percentage of another Performance Criteria, or used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or one or more of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, or any divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments or administrative departments of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of Performance Goals pursuant to the Performance Criteria specified in this paragraph.

(d)    Modification of Performance Goal(s). In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Criteria without obtaining stockholder approval of such alterations, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such alterations without obtaining stockholder approval. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time a Performance Compensation Award is granted, the Committee may at any time specify adjustments or modifications to be made to the calculation of a Performance Goal for such Performance Period, based on and in order to appropriately reflect the following events: (i) asset write-downs; (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (iv) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (v) acquisitions or divestitures; (vi) any other specific, unusual or nonrecurring events or objectively

determinable category thereof; (vii) foreign exchange gains and losses; (viii) discontinued operations and nonrecurring charges; and (ix) a change in the Company’s fiscal year.

(e)    Payment of Performance Compensation Awards.

(i)    Condition to Receipt of Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period.

(ii)    Limitation. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that (A) the Performance Goals for such Performance Period are achieved, and (B) all or some portion of such Participant’s Performance Compensation Award has been earned for the Performance Period based on the application of the Performance Formula to such achieved Performance Goals.

(iii)    Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Performance Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the amount of each Participant’s Performance Compensation Award actually payable for the Performance Period and, in so doing, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, may apply Negative Discretion.

(iv)    Use of Negative Discretion. In determining the actual amount of an individual Participant’s Performance Compensation Award for a Performance Period, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned under the Performance Formula in the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall not have the discretion to (A) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Compensation Awards for a Performance Period if the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained, or (B) increase a Performance Compensation Award above the applicable limitations set forth in Section 4 of the Plan.

(f)    Timing of Performance Compensation Award Payments. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, Performance Compensation Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following completion of the certifications required by this Section 9 of the Plan.

10.    Adjustments upon Certain Events.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Stock Awards granted hereunder:

(a)    Generally. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Class C Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, stock rights offering, spin-off, combination, transaction or exchange of such shares or other corporate exchange, or any transaction similar to the foregoing, the Committee shall make such substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems to

be equitable in order to prevent the enlargement or diminution of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan (subject to Section 19 of the Plan), as to (i) the number or kind of shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan or pursuant to outstanding Stock Awards, (ii) the Option Price or exercise price of any Stock Appreciation Right and/or (iii) any other affected terms of such Stock Awards; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events that is an “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Section 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (FASB ASC 718) or any successor guidance), the Committee shall make an equitable adjustment to outstanding Stock Awards to reflect such event.

(b)    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control after the Effective Date, the Committee may (subject to Section 19 of the Plan and any Participant’s rights under an Award Agreement), but shall not be obligated to, (i) accelerate, vest or cause the restrictions to lapse with respect to all or any portion of a Stock Award, (ii) subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, cancel such Stock Awards for fair value (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith) which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, may, if so determined by the Committee, equal the excess, if any, of value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction, directly or indirectly, to holders of the same number of shares of Class C Common Stock subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market Value of the shares of Class C Common Stock subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) over the aggregate Option Price of such Options or exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Rights (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right having a per share Option Price or exercise price equal to, or in excess of, such Fair Market Value may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor), (iii) subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, provide for the issuance of substitute Stock Awards that will preserve the rights under, and the otherwise applicable terms of, any affected Stock Awards previously granted hereunder as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith, and/or (iv) provide that for a period of at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Change in Control, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable as to all shares subject thereto (whether or not vested) and that upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

11.    No Right to Employment or Awards.

The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company or any of its Affiliate to continue the Employment of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s right or any of its Affiliates’ rights to terminate the Employment of such Participant. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).

12.    Successors and Assigns.

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and each Participant, including without limitation, the estate of each such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of any such estate and, if applicable, any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the creditors of any such Participant.

13.    Nontransferability of Awards.

Unless expressly permitted by the Committee in an Award Agreement or otherwise in writing, and, in each case, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, an Award shall not be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or by operation of law, by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, that this Section 13 shall not prevent transfers by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, if permitted by the Committee, in the case of a Participant’s death, by beneficiary designation. A Stock Award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant, subject to any conditions or qualifications imposed by the Board.

14.    Tax Withholding.

(a)    The Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the authority, in its discretion, to deduct from any cash compensation or other cash amounts owing to a Participant any income, employment and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld in respect of an Award. Alternatively, the Company or such Affiliate may require a Participant to pay to the Company or one or more of its Affiliates, as applicable, an amount in cash (by check or wire transfer) equal to the aggregate amount of any income, employment and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld in respect of an Award.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of Section 14(a) of the Plan, with respect to any Stock Award, the Committee may (but is not obligated to), in its discretion, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, permit or require a Participant to satisfy, all or any portion of the minimum income, employment and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld with respect to a Stock Award by (i) the delivery of shares of Class C Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) that have been both held by the Participant and vested for at least six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment under applicable accounting standards) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof); or (ii) having the Company withhold from the shares of Class C Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, the Participant upon the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of the Stock Award, as applicable, a number of shares of Class C Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to an amount, subject to Section 14(c) of the Plan below, not in excess of such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof).

(c)    The Committee, subject to its having considered the applicable accounting impact of any such determination, may allow Participants to satisfy, in whole or in part, any additional income, employment and/or other applicable taxes payable by them with respect to a Stock Award by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of the Class C Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, a Participant upon the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of the Stock Award, as applicable, shares of Class C Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding liability (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum statutory withholding amount(s) in a Participant’s relevant tax jurisdictions).

15.    Amendments, Alternations or Termination.

The Board may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or termination shall be made, (a) without the approval of the requisite stockholders of the Company, if such action would

(except as provided in Section 10 of the Plan) (i) increase the total number of shares reserved for the purposes of the Plan, (ii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, (iii) rescind the limitation on amendment or cancellation of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights described in Section 3(c) of the Plan to the extent provided therein, or (iv) otherwise require stockholder approval under Applicable Law, or (b) without the consent of a Participant, if such action would diminish the rights of such individual Participant under any Stock Award theretofore granted to such Participant under the Plan; provided, that anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as it deems necessary to cause a Stock Award to comply with the requirements of the Code or other Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, to avoid adverse tax consequences) or for changes in GAAP or new accounting standards; provided, further, that such amendment shall not adversely affect the rights or potential benefits of the Participant under the Stock Award, unless the Participant consents thereto in writing.

16.    Choice of Law.

The Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

17.    Effective Date.

The Plan is effective as of the Effective Date.

18.    Foreign Law.

The Committee may grant Stock Awards to eligible individuals who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures or Sub-Plans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.

19.    Section 409A.

The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption or exclusion therefrom and, with respect to amounts that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, it is intended that the Plan be administered in all respects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment under any Award shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. A Participant may not, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under any Award that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company), amounts that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that would otherwise be payable on account of a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and during the six-month period immediately following a Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Separation from Service”) shall instead be paid or provided on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Participant’s Separation from Service. If the Participant dies following the Separation from Service and prior to the payment of any amounts delayed on account of Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate within thirty (30) days after

the date of the Participant’s death. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 19 in good faith; provided, that neither the Company, the Committee nor any of the Company’s employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to any Participant with respect to this Section 19.

20.    Recoupment; Repayment.

All Awards shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any recoupment, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time, and (ii) Applicable Law. Further, to the extent that the Participant receives any amount in excess of the amount that the Participant should otherwise have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company.
