(b) Forfeitures, Terminations and Cash-Outs. In addition to the Shares authorized in Section 3.1(a), to the extent any Shares under the Predecessor Plan are forfeited, or any award under the Predecessor Plan otherwise terminates without the issuance of some or all of the Shares underlying the award to a participant or if any option or stock appreciation right under the Predecessor Plan terminates without having been exercised in full, the Shares underlying such award, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall be available for future grant under the Plan and credited toward the Plan limit. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any Cash-Based Units, Deferred Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Restricted Shares, Restricted Units or Share-Based Awards subject to an Award hereunder are forfeited, or any such Award otherwise terminates without the issuance or delivery of some or all of the Shares underlying the Award to a Participant, or if any Option or SAR terminates without having been exercised in full, the Shares underlying such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be available for grant under the Plan. If the benefit provided by any Award granted under the Plan is (or can only be) paid in cash, any Shares that were (or are) covered by that Award shall again be available for grant under the Plan.

(c) Limitations on Reissuance of Shares. Shares that are tendered, whether by physical delivery or by attestation, to the Company by a Participant, or withheld by the Company, in each case as full or partial payment of the exercise or purchase price of any Award or in payment of any applicable withholding for Federal, state, city, local, or foreign taxes incurred in connection with the exercise or earning of any Award under the Plan or under the Predecessor Plan will not become available for future grants under the Plan. With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, when a Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and settled in Shares, all the Shares subject to such Stock Appreciation Right shall be counted against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan as one Share for every one Share subject thereto, regardless of the number of Shares used to settle the SAR upon exercise. In addition, Shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds from exercises of Options shall not increase the number of Shares that may be issued or delivered under the Plan.

(d) Individual Participant Limitations. To the extent necessary for an Award to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award, (i) the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to any one Participant during any fiscal year shall be One Million (1,000,000) Shares in the aggregate, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2, (ii) the initial targeted number of Shares subject to Awards that are Performance Shares, Performance Units or other Full-Value Awards (that are subject to Performance Objectives) granted to any one Participant during any fiscal year shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) Shares in the aggregate, and in no event shall the number of Shares ultimately issued to a Participant pursuant to such Awards that are Performance Shares, Performance Units or other Full-Value Awards (that are subject to Performance Objectives) exceed 200% of the initial targeted number of Shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2, and (iii) in no event will any Participant in any fiscal year receive Awards of Cash-Based Units having an aggregate maximum value as of their respective Grant Dates in excess of $6,000,000; provided, however, that each of the per person limits set forth in this Section 3.1(d) shall be multiplied by two for Awards granted to a Participant in the fiscal year in which such Participant’s employment with the Company commences.

(e) Substitute Awards. Shares or Awards issued by the Company through the assumption or substitution of outstanding grants from a corporation or entity acquired by or combined with the Company shall not reduce the Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

3.2 Adjustments.

(a) Adjustment to Common Stock. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination or similar events, altering the value of a Share, or the number of Shares outstanding (each, a “Share Change”), the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued and delivered under the Plan, the maximum Award limitations set forth in the Plan, the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price, base price, purchase price or Option Price and other relevant provisions of the Plan and outstanding Awards shall be proportionately and automatically adjusted as necessary to reflect the Share Change and to preserve the value of the Awards. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board Committee or the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (to the extent applicable thereto), including without limitation, with respect to Options and SARs, the requirements of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D).

(b) Reorganizations, Mergers, Etc. Subject to Section 12, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued and delivered under the Plan, the maximum Award limitations set forth in the Plan, the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price, base price, purchase price or Option Price and other relevant provisions of the Plan and outstanding Awards shall be adjusted by the Board Committee or the Board, in its discretion to reflect a change in the capitalization of the Company, including but not limited to, a recapitalization, repurchase, rights offering, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, split-off, spin-off, spin-out, extraordinary cash dividend, or other distribution of assets to shareholders or other similar corporate transaction or event. To the extent deemed equitable and appropriate by the Board, subject to any required action by shareholders, in any merger, consolidation or reorganization, liquidation, or dissolution, any Award shall pertain to the securities or other property which a holder of the number of Shares subject to the Award would have been entitled to receive in connection with such event. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event, the Board, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under the Plan such alternative consideration (including cash), if any, as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced. Any adjustment or substitution pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (to the extent applicable thereto), including without limitation, with respect to Options and SARs, the requirements of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D).

4. Administration of Plan; Eligibility.

4.1 Administration by the Board and Board Committee.

(a) Powers of Board Committee; Discretion. The Plan shall be administered by the Board Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board Committee shall have such powers and authority as may be necessary or appropriate for the Board Committee to carry out its functions as described in the Plan. The Board Committee shall have the authority in its discretion to determine: (i) which individuals shall receive Awards, (ii) the types of Awards to be made under the Plan, (iii) the number of Shares underlying Awards or amount of cash, in the case of Cash-Based Units, (iv) the other terms and conditions of such Awards, including the Option Price, exercise, base or purchase price of an Award (if any), the time or times at which an Award will become vested, exercisable or payable, and the Performance Objectives, targets and weightings applicable to an Award, and (v) whether the Performance Objectives have been achieved. Determinations by the Board Committee under the Plan, including, without limitation, determinations of the Participants, the form, amount, and timing of Awards, and the terms and provisions of Awards and the Award Agreements evidencing Awards, need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Participants and individuals who receive or are eligible to receive Awards. The Board Committee shall have the full power, discretion and authority, consistent with the terms of the Plan, to interpret the Plan and the Award Agreements, to establish, amend, suspend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to prescribe the form of any Award Agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith, and to make all other determinations that it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Board Committee may impose conditions with respect to an Award, such as limiting solicitation of employees or former employees or limiting competitive employment or other activities. The Board Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry it into effect. All such interpretations, rules, regulations and determinations shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons (including the Company and Participants) and for all purposes. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan may be different for purposes of administering Awards made to Employees and Awards made to Non-Employee Directors.

(b) Board Authority. If the Board Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Board Committee, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code.

(c) Delegation. The Board Committee shall have the right, from time to time, to delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority of the Board Committee to grant and determine the terms and conditions of Awards granted under the Plan, subject to the requirements of Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or any successor provision) and such other limitations as the Board Committee shall determine. The Board Committee may also, either concurrently or otherwise, delegate all or any portion of such authority to a committee of the Board consisting of or including any one or more Directors who also serve as officers of the Company. In no event shall any such delegation of authority be permitted with respect to Awards to any Director, Executive Officer or any person subject to Section 162(m) of the Code or who, in the Board Committee’s judgment, is likely to be subject to Section 162(m) of the Code at any time during any period in which an Award granted to such individual may be outstanding. The Board Committee shall also be permitted to delegate, to any appropriate officer or employee of the Company, responsibility for performing certain ministerial functions under the Plan. In the event that the Board Committee’s authority is delegated to officers or employees in accordance with the foregoing, all references in the Plan relating to the Board Committee shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the foregoing by treating any such reference as a reference to such officer or employee for such purpose. Any action undertaken in accordance with the Board Committee’s delegation of authority hereunder shall have the same force and effect as if such action was undertaken directly by the Board Committee and shall be deemed for all purposes of the Plan to have been taken by the Board Committee.

(d) Limitation on Liability. No member of the Board or Board Committee nor any officer or employee delegated authority by the Board Committee pursuant to Section 4.1(c), shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith by the Board, the Board Committee or such officer or employee with respect to the Plan or any Award.

4.2 Eligibility. All Employees and Non-Employee Directors are eligible to be designated by the Board Committee to receive Awards and become Participants under the Plan; provided, however, that only Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive Deferred Units under Section 10 and all Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive such Deferred Units without regard to whether the Board Committee has designated a Non-Employee Director as eligible to receive Deferred Units; and provided further, that an employee of an Affiliate shall be designated by the Board Committee as a recipient of an Option or SAR only if Common Stock qualifies, with respect to such recipient, as “service recipient stock” within the meaning set forth in Section 409A of the Code. Except as provided otherwise in an Award Agreement, for purposes of this Plan, references to employment by the Company shall also mean employment by a Subsidiary or an Affiliate and references to employment shall include service as a Non-Employee Director. The Board Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the extent to which a Participant shall be considered employed during any periods during which such Participant is on a leave of absence. In selecting Employees and Non-Employee Directors to be Participants and in determining the type and amount of Awards to be granted under the Plan, the Board Committee shall consider any and all factors that it deems relevant or appropriate.

5. Awards of Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash-Based Units.

5.1 Awards. Awards of Performance Shares, Performance Units and Cash-Based Units may be granted, from time to time, to such Employees and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by the Board Committee. Except as provided in Section 11 or as otherwise provided or determined by the Board Committee, the release of Performance Shares or the payment or settlement of Performance Units or Cash-Based Units, as applicable, to the Participant granted the applicable Awards shall be contingent on (i) the degree of attainment of the applicable Performance Objectives during the Performance Period as shall be determined by the Board Committee, (ii) the expiration of the Performance Period, and (iii) such other terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Each Award under this Section 5.1 of Performance Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Performance Share Award Agreement”), each Award under this Section 5.1 of Performance Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Performance Unit Award Agreement”), and each Award under this Section 5.1 of Cash-Based Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Cash-Based Unit Award Agreement”), which shall specify or confirm the applicable Performance Objectives, the Performance Period, forfeiture conditions and such other terms and conditions as the Board Committee shall determine. The Board Committee may determine performance levels pursuant to which the number of Performance Shares, Performance Units, or Cash-Based Units earned may be less than, equal to, or greater than, the number of Performance Shares, Performance Units, or Cash-Based Units awarded based on the Performance Objectives stated in the Award.

5.2 Payouts.

(a) Performance Shares. An Award of Performance Shares that has been earned shall immediately become nonforfeitable and the Shares underlying such Award of Performance Shares shall be released by the Company to the Participant without restrictions on transfer.

Any cash payout in respect of an Award of Performance Units shall be made based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, determined on such date or over such time period as determined by the Board Committee. Any payout in Shares in respect of an Award of Cash-Based Units shall be made based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, determined on such date or over such time period as determined by the Board Committee.

Subject to the provisions of the applicable Performance Unit Award Agreement or Cash-Based Unit Award Agreement and unless otherwise provided or determined by the Board Committee, Participants shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares underlying Awards of Performance Units or Cash-Based Units until such time, if any, as any underlying Shares are actually issued to the Participant, which may, at the option of the Company be either (i) evidenced by delivery of a certificate registered in the name of the Participant or his or her designee; or (ii) credited to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Participant maintained by the Company’s stock transfer agent or its designee.

(c) Dividend Equivalents. No dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid on outstanding unvested or unearned Performance Shares or Performance Units. However, the Board Committee may specify that Performance Shares or Performance Units will accrue Dividend Equivalents in an amount equal to the cash dividends or other distribution, if any, which are paid with respect to issued and outstanding Shares during the Performance Period. If Dividend Equivalents are to accrue in respect of Performance Shares or Performance Units, the Dividend Equivalents will, as determined by the Board Committee, be paid in cash or Shares at the time of release of such Performance Shares and at the time of payout of such Performance Units. Dividend Equivalents will, in such case, be paid with respect to all Performance Shares that have vested and been released or Performance Units that are paid out. No Dividend Equivalents will be paid on Performance Shares or Performance Units that are forfeited or cancelled. The Board Committee may also specify that Dividend Equivalents will be deemed to be reinvested in Common Stock. Dividend Equivalents which are deemed reinvested in Common Stock will be converted into additional Performance Shares or Performance Units and release and payout of the Performance Shares or Performance Units shall include the value of such additional Performance Shares or Performance Units. No interest shall be paid on a Dividend Equivalent or any part thereof.

5.4 Termination of Employment or Service. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee or a Non-Employee Director, the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units (and in each case, accrued Dividend Equivalents thereon, if any) to which the Participant shall be entitled, and the number of Cash-Based Units, if any, to which the Participant shall be entitled, shall be determined in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an involuntary termination for Cause, any outstanding Awards of Performance Shares or Performance Units or Cash-Based Units shall be forfeited and cancelled. All remaining Performance Shares, Performance Units or Cash-Based Units as to which the Participant may not be entitled, as well as any accrued Dividend Equivalents on such Performance Shares or Performance Units, shall be forfeited, subject to such exceptions, if any, authorized by the Board Committee.

5.5 Transfer of Employment. If a Participant transfers employment from one business unit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to another business unit during a Performance Period, such Participant shall be eligible to receive such number of Performance Shares, Performance Units or Cash-Based Units, as well as any accrued Dividend Equivalents, as the Board Committee may determine based upon such factors as the Board Committee in its sole discretion may deem appropriate.

5.6 Minimum Vesting Period. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, it shall be a condition to the release to a Participant of Performance Shares or the payment or settlement of Performance Units or Cash-Based Units that the Participant shall have been employed by the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate through the expiration of the first fiscal year of the applicable Performance Period.

6. Awards of Restricted Shares and Restricted Units.

6.1 Awards. Awards of Restricted Shares and Restricted Units, subject to such Restriction Period and such other restrictions as to vesting and otherwise as the Board Committee shall determine, may be granted, from time to time, to such Employees and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by the Board Committee. In addition to the provisions of Section 11 applicable to a Change in Control, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the Board Committee may, in its sole discretion at the time of the grant of the Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units or at any time thereafter, provide for the early vesting of such Award prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period. Each Award under this Section 6.1 of Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Restricted Share Award Agreement”), and each Award under this Section 6.1 of Restricted Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Restricted Unit Award Agreement”), which shall specify the vesting schedule, any rights of acceleration, any forfeiture conditions, and such other terms and conditions as the Board Committee shall determine.

6.2 Payouts.

(a) Restricted Shares. Upon expiration of the Restriction Period and satisfaction of any other terms or conditions and as set forth in the Restricted Share Award Agreement, an Award of Restricted Shares shall immediately become nonforfeitable and the Shares underlying such Award of Restricted Shares shall be released by the Company to the Participant without restrictions on transfer. The Shares released by the Company hereunder may at the Company’s option be either (i) evidenced by a certificate registered in the name of the Participant or his or her designee; or (ii) credited to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Participant maintained by the Company’s stock transfer agent or its designee.

(b) Restricted Units. An Award of Restricted Units shall become payable to a Participant at the time or times determined by the Board Committee and set forth in the Restricted Unit Award Agreement. Payouts in respect of Awards of Restricted Units may be made, at the discretion of the Board Committee, in Shares or in cash, or in a combination thereof. Any cash payout in respect of an Award of Restricted Units shall be made based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, determined on such date or over such time period as determined by the Board Committee.

6.3 Rights as Shareholders.

(a) Restricted Shares. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Restricted Share Award Agreement and unless otherwise provided or determined by the Board Committee, during the Restriction Period, Participants may exercise full voting rights with respect to all Shares underlying Awards of Restricted Shares granted under Section 6.1 hereof and shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents (rather than dividends) paid with respect to those Shares; provided, however, any Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award of Restricted Shares that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Award of Restricted Shares.

(b) Restricted Units. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Restricted Unit Award Agreement and unless otherwise provided or determined by the Board Committee, Participants shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares underlying Awards of Restricted Units until such time, if any, as the underlying Shares are actually issued to the Participant, which may, at the option of the Company be either (i) evidenced by delivery of a certificate registered in the name of the Participant or his or her designee; or (ii) credited to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Participant maintained by the Company’s stock transfer agent or its designee. The Board Committee may provide in a Restricted Unit Award Agreement for the payment of Dividend Equivalents to the Participant at such times as paid to shareholders generally or at the time of vesting or other payout in respect of an Award of Restricted Units; provided, however, any Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award of Restricted Units that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Award of Restricted Units.

6.4 Termination of Employment or Service. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee or a Non-Employee Director, the number of Shares underlying an Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units, if any, to which the Participant shall be entitled shall be determined in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an involuntary termination for Cause, any outstanding Awards of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units shall be forfeited and cancelled. All remaining Shares underlying an Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units as to which restrictions apply at the date of termination of employment or service shall be forfeited subject to such exceptions, if any, authorized by the Board Committee.

6.5 Minimum Vesting Period. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Restriction Period applicable to an Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units may not lapse until one year following the Grant Date of such Award.

7. Stock Options.

7.1 Option Grants. Options may be granted, from time to time, to such Employees and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by the Board Committee. The Option Price shall be determined by the Board Committee effective on the Grant Date; provided, however, that except in the case of Substitute Awards, such price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. The number of Shares subject to an Option granted to a Participant, the term of such Option, and any other terms and conditions of such Option granted hereunder shall be determined by the Board Committee, in its sole discretion, effective on the Grant Date; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable any later than ten (10) years from the Grant Date. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Option Agreement”), which shall specify the type of Option granted, the Option Price, the term of the Option, the number of Shares subject to the Option, the conditions upon which the Option becomes exercisable and such other terms and conditions as the Board Committee shall determine.

7.2 Payment of Option Price; Cashless Exercise. No Shares shall be issued upon exercise of an Option until full payment of the aggregate Option Price for such Shares by the Participant. Upon exercise, the Option Price may be paid by: (i) delivery of cash and/or Shares (whether actually delivered or through attestation) having a Fair Market Value equal to such aggregate Option Price; or (ii) if permitted by the Board Committee, by directing the Company to retain all or a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant under the Plan pursuant to such exercise having a Fair Market Value equal to such aggregate Option Price. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if permitted by the Board Committee, a grant may provide for the payment of such aggregate Option Price from the proceeds of sale through a broker on the date of exercise of some or all of the Shares to which the exercise relates. In such case, the Company shall have received a properly executed or acknowledged exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds to pay such aggregate Option Price, and, if requested, the amount of any Federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter into agreements or coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms.

7.3 Rights as Shareholders. Participants shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to an Option, unless and until such Shares have been issued upon the proper exercise of such Option, which issuance may, at the option of the Company, be either: (i) evidenced by delivery of a certificate registered in the name of the Participant or his or her designee; or (ii) credited to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Participant maintained by the Company’s stock transfer agent or its designee. Notwithstanding anything in an Option Agreement to the contrary, the holder of an Option shall not be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to any Shares subject to such Option.

7.4 Termination of Employment or Service. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee or a Non-Employee Director, whether the Options granted hereunder shall be exercisable or not and the other applicable terms and conditions shall be determined in accordance with the applicable Option Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an involuntary termination for Cause, any outstanding grants of Options shall be forfeited and cancelled.

7.5 Limits on Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding the designation of an Option as an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent the aggregate Option Price of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000 (or such other amount as determined under the Code), such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Participants who meet the definition of “employees” under Section 3401(c) of the Code.

7.6 Limits on Option Repricing. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the repricing of an Option is prohibited without the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (i) changing the terms of an Option to lower its Option Price other than in connection with a Share Change or a change in the Company’s capitalization; (ii) repurchasing an Option for cash or other consideration or cancelling an Option in exchange for another Award, in either case, at a time when its Option Price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, unless the repurchase or cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Share Change or a change in the Company’s capitalization; and (iii) any other action treated as a repricing under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, in each case, other than in connection with the adjustment provisions set forth in Section 3.2.

7.7 Minimum Vesting Period. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no Option may become exercisable until one year following the Grant Date of such Option Award.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights.

8.1 SAR Grants. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted, from time to time, to such Employees and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by the Board Committee. SARs may be granted at the discretion of the Board Committee either: (i) in tandem with an Option; or (ii) independent of an Option. The price from which appreciation shall be computed shall be established by the Board Committee at the Grant Date; provided, however, that except in the case of Substitute Awards, such price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the number of Shares subject to the SAR on the Grant Date. If the SAR is granted in tandem with an Option, the price from which appreciation shall be computed shall be the Option Price. Each grant of a SAR shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Stock Appreciation Right Agreement”), which shall specify whether the SAR is granted in tandem with an Option, the price from which appreciation shall be computed for the SAR, the term of the SAR, the number of Shares subject to the SAR, the conditions upon which the SAR vests and such other terms and conditions as the Board Committee shall determine that are consistent with the terms of the Plan. In no event shall a SAR be exercisable any later than ten (10) years from the Grant Date.

8.2 Exercise of SARs. SARs may be exercised upon such terms and conditions as the Board Committee shall determine; provided, however, that SARs granted in tandem with Options may be exercised only to the extent the related Options are then exercisable. Upon exercise of a SAR granted in tandem with an Option as to all or some of the Shares subject to such SAR, the related Option shall be automatically canceled to the extent of the number of Shares subject to the exercise of the SAR, and such Shares shall no longer be available for grant hereunder. If the related Option is exercised as to some or all of the Shares underlying such Option, the related SAR shall automatically be canceled to the extent of the number of Shares subject to the exercise of the Option, and such Shares shall no longer be available for grant hereunder.

8.3 Payment upon Exercise. Upon exercise of a SAR, the holder shall be paid, in cash and/or Shares as set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the number of Shares subject to the exercise over the price for such number of Shares, which in the case of a SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be the Option Price for such Shares.

8.4 Rights as Shareholders. Participants shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to a SAR nor with respect to any Shares subject to an Option granted in tandem with a SAR unless and until such Shares have been issued upon the proper exercise of the SAR or the related Option, which issuance may at the option of the Company be either: (i) evidenced by delivery of a certificate registered in the name of the Participant or his or her designee; or (ii) credited to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Participant maintained by the Company’s stock transfer agent or its designee. Notwithstanding anything in a Stock Appreciation Right Agreement to the contrary, the holder of a SAR shall not be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to any Shares subject to such SAR.

8.5 Termination of Employment or Service. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee or a Non-Employee Director, whether SARs granted hereunder shall be exercisable or not and the other terms and conditions shall be determined in accordance with the applicable Stock Appreciation Right Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an involuntary termination for Cause, any outstanding grants of SARs shall be forfeited and cancelled.

8.6 Limits on SAR Repricing. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the repricing of a SAR is prohibited without the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (i) changing the terms of a SAR to lower the price from which appreciation shall be computed other than in connection with a Share Change or a change in the Company’s capitalization; (ii) repurchasing a SAR for cash or other consideration or cancelling a SAR in exchange for another Award, in either case, at a time when the price from which appreciation shall be computed is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, unless the repurchase or cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Share Change or a change in the Company’s capitalization; and (iii) any other action treated as a repricing under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, in each case, other than in connection with the adjustment provisions set forth in Section 3.2.

8.7 Minimum Vesting Period. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no SAR Award may become exercisable until one year following the Grant Date of such SAR.

9. Other Share-Based Awards. Subject to the limits set forth in Section 3.1, but notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, awards of Shares and other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, Shares (including, but not limited to, bonus stock, Shares which are subject to restrictions on transferability, or similar securities or rights) (“Share-Based Awards”), may be made, from time to time, to such Employees and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by the Board Committee. Such Share-Based Awards may be made alone or in addition to or in connection with any other Award hereunder. The Board Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine the terms and conditions of any such Share-Based Award. Each such Share-Based Award, other than a Share-Based Award that is subject to no restrictions on transfer, shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall specify the number of Shares subject to the Share-Based Award, any consideration therefor, any vesting or performance requirements and such other terms and conditions as the Board Committee shall determine. Share-Based Awards are not required to be subject to any minimum vesting period.

10. Non-Employee Director Deferred Units.

10.1 Awards. This Section 10 shall not be effective unless and until the Board Committee determines to establish a program pursuant to this section. The Board Committee, in its discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, subject to the provisions of Section 13.8(b) with respect to Section 409A of the Code, may establish one or more programs pursuant to this Section 10. The Board Committee may, after the effectiveness of this section, from time to time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize the granting of Awards of Deferred Units to Non-Employee Directors. The Deferred Units will constitute an agreement by the Company to deliver Shares to the Non-Employee Director in the future in consideration of the performance of services, but subject to the fulfillment of such conditions as the Board Committee may specify. The Deferred Units shall be credited to a Deferred Units Account when granted. Except as may be provided in a Deferred Unit Award Agreement (to the extent permitted by applicable law), the Non-Employee Director granted an Award of Deferred Units shall have no right to transfer any Deferred Units, such Award of Deferred Units or rights thereunder. The Non-Employee Director granted Deferred Units shall have no rights of ownership in the Deferred Units and shall have no right to vote them, but the Board Committee may, at or after the Grant Date, authorize the payment of Dividend Equivalents on the Shares underlying the Deferred Units on either a current or deferred or contingent basis, either in cash or additional Shares. Each Award under this Section 10.1 of Deferred Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Deferred Unit Award Agreement”), which shall specify the available forms of payment, the timing of any elections with respect to payment, the ability to reallocate the Deferred Units to subaccounts that are invested in investment funds other than a Company stock fund, and such other terms and conditions as the Board Committee shall determine.

10.2 Payments in Connection with Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, within 90 days following a Change in Control that qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5), the Company shall pay to each Director (or former Director), in a lump sum, the Deferred Units in such Director’s Deferred Units Account. This section may not be amended, altered or modified following such a Change in Control.

10.3 Limits on Deferred Units. The aggregate grant date fair value of Deferred Units that may be granted to any one Non-Employee Director during any fiscal year shall not exceed $1,000,000; provided, however, the limit in this Section 10.3 shall not apply to Awards or grants of Deferred Units made pursuant to an election to receive the Award or grant in lieu of all or a portion of fees for service on the Board or any Board committee.

10.4 Termination of Service. If a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a Director for any reason, the Director’s Deferred Units Account shall be paid to the Director in accordance with the Deferred Unit Award Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an involuntary termination for Cause, any outstanding grants of Deferred Units shall be forfeited and cancelled.

11. Change in Control.

11.1 Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (i) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (a) by the Company or any Subsidiary, (b) by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (c) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (d) pursuant to a Non-Control Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii));

(ii) individuals who, on July 4, 2015, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a Director subsequent to July 4, 2015, whose appointment, election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors who remain on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for Director, without objection to such nomination) shall also be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a Director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to Directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;

(iii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any such type of transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders (whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction or otherwise) (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (a) more than 60% of the total voting power of the company resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, any company which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the Company Voting Securities) eligible to elect directors of such company is represented by shares that were Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination (either by remaining outstanding or being converted), and such voting power is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities immediately prior to the Business Combination, (b) no person (other than any publicly traded holding company resulting from such Business Combination, or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company (or the company resulting from such Business Combination)) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination, and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies the conditions specified in (a), (b) and (c) shall be deemed to be a “Non-Control Transaction”);

(iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

(v) the Company consummates a direct or indirect sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.

11.2 Acceleration of Benefits. Except and unless the Board Committee determines otherwise at the time of grant of a particular Award or Awards, and as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control: (i) any Awards outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control that are subject to vesting requirements and that are not then vested, shall become fully vested; (ii) all then-outstanding Options and SARs shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable, provided that in no event shall any Option or SAR be exercisable beyond its original expiration date; (iii) all restrictions regarding the Restriction Period and all other conditions prescribed by the Board Committee, if any, with respect to Awards of Restricted Shares, Restricted Units or Share-Based Awards shall automatically lapse, expire and terminate and all such Awards shall be deemed to be fully earned; and (iv) any Awards of Performance Shares, Performance Units, Cash-Based Units or other performance-based Awards that vest under the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be deemed to be fully earned at the target level of such Award or at such greater level of performance as the Board Committee may authorize. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Award is “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then notwithstanding that the Award shall be deemed to be fully vested and earned pursuant to this Section 11.2 upon a Change in Control, unless the Change in Control qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5), in no event shall payment with respect to the Award be made at a time other than the time payment would be made in the absence of the Change in Control.

12. Amendment or Termination of Plan.

(a) Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any part thereof from time to time, provided that no change may be made which may materially impair the rights of a Participant who has received an Award without the consent of said Participant; and, provided, further, that if an amendment to the Plan (i) would materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (ii) would increase the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan, (iii) would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, (iv) would modify the prohibitions on the repricing or discounting of Options and SARs contained in the Plan, or (v) must otherwise be approved by the shareholders of the Company in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, then, such amendment will be subject to shareholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained.

(b) Foreign Jurisdictions. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under the Plan, the Board Committee may provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, or who are employed by or perform services for the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate outside of the United States of America, as the Board Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Board Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, the Plan or any Award Agreement as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose, provided that no such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as then in effect, unless the Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the shareholders of the Company.

13. Miscellaneous.

13.1 No Right to Continued Employment or Service or to Participate. Nothing in the Plan or in the grant of any Award or in any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continued employment or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action by the Company, the Board, Board Committee or any director or officer of the Company shall be deemed to give any Employee or Non-Employee Director any right to be designated as a Participant under the Plan.

13.2 Withholding for Taxes; Offset. The Company shall have the authority to withhold, or to require a Participant to remit to the Company, prior to issuance or delivery of any Shares or cash hereunder, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding requirements associated with any Award. In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit or require a Participant to satisfy any tax withholding requirements, in whole or in part, by (i) delivering to the Company (whether by actual delivery or through attestation), Shares held by such Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the tax or (ii) directing the Company to retain Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered to the Participant under the Plan. The Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws (including Code Section 409A), offset against any payments to be made to a Participant under the Plan any amounts owing to the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from the Participant for any reason. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the amount determined by applying the applicable statutory withholding rate; provided, however, that if a fraction of a share of Common Stock would be required to satisfy the applicable statutory withholding taxes, then the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may be rounded up to the next nearest whole share of Common Stock.

13.3 Other Compensation and Benefit Plans. Awards hereunder shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement or compensation plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or hereafter in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation, including, without limitation, under any pension, retirement or severance benefits plan, except to the extent specifically provided by the terms of any such plan. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation plans in effect for the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, nor shall the Plan preclude the Company from establishing any other forms of compensation or benefit program for Employees or Non-Employee Directors.

13.4 Award Agreement and Waiver of Restrictions. The Company may condition a Participant’s right (a) to exercise, vest in or settlement of an Award and (b) to receive delivery of Shares or cash, on the execution and delivery or acknowledgment to the Company of an Award Agreement and the completion of other requirements, including, but not limited to, the execution (electronic or otherwise) of a nonsolicitation agreement or other restrictive covenants by the recipient and delivery thereof to the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Committee may approve an Award Agreement that, upon the termination of a Participant’s employment or service, provides that, or may, in its sole discretion based on a review of all relevant facts and circumstances, otherwise take action regarding an Award Agreement such that (i) any or all outstanding Options and SARs shall become exercisable in part or in full, (ii) all or a portion of the Restriction Period applicable to any outstanding Award shall lapse, (iii) all or a portion of the Performance Period applicable to any outstanding Award shall lapse and (iv) the Performance Objectives applicable to any outstanding Award (if any) shall be deemed to be satisfied at target, maximum or any other level of performance. To the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the Board Committee may, in its sole discretion, based on such factors as the Board Committee may deem appropriate, waive in whole or in part, any remaining restrictions or vesting requirements in connection with any Award hereunder.

13.5 Limits on Transferability of Awards, Etc. Except as permitted by this Section 13.5, no Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of or transferred by a Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Participant’s death (to the extent such Award by its terms, survives the Participant’s death). Awards granted under the Plan shall not be subject to execution, attachment, change, alienation or similar process. The Board Committee may, in its discretion, expressly authorize in an Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement that all or a portion of the Options or SARs granted to a Participant (other than Incentive Stock Options) be on terms which permit transfer by such Participant (i) to immediate family members of the Participant or to a trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of such immediate family members, (ii) pursuant to domestic relations orders referred to in Rule 16a-12 under the Exchange Act, and (iii) to other transferees permitted by the Board Committee in its discretion (such transferees of a Participant are referred to as “Permitted Transferees”) provided that (A) there may be no payment of consideration (other than release of marital rights) for any such transfer, (B) the applicable Award Agreement shall specifically provide for transferability in a manner consistent with this Section, and (C) subsequent transfers of transferred Options and SARs shall be prohibited except, without consideration for such transfer, to the Participant or a Permitted Transferee of the Participant. The Board Committee may, in its discretion, create further conditions and requirements for the transfer of Options and SARs. Following transfer, Options and SARs shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer; the Participant shall remain subject to applicable tax withholding; the events of termination of employment or service of a Participant shall continue to be applied with respect to the Permitted Transferee; and all other terms of the Options and SARs shall remain unchanged. All Options and SARs granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during the lifetime of such Participant only by such Participant, his agent, guardian or attorney-in-fact or by a Permitted Transferee.

13.6 Adjustment of Awards. Subject to Sections 7.6, 8.6 and 12, the Board Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in the method of calculating achievement of Performance Objectives or in the terms and conditions of Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or its financial statements or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall materially impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent and that any such adjustment shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code (to the extent applicable thereto) and in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award, Section 162(m) of the Code. The Board Committee may not make any such adjustment with respect to any Qualified Performance-Based Award if such adjustment would cause compensation pursuant to such award to cease to be “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. In the event the Company shall assume outstanding employee benefit awards or the right or obligation to make future such awards in connection with the acquisition of another company or business entity, the Board Committee may, in its discretion but subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, make such adjustments in the terms of Awards under the Plan as it shall deem appropriate.

13.7 Consideration for Awards. Except as otherwise required in any applicable Award Agreement or by the terms of the Plan, Participants under the Plan shall not be required to make any payment or provide consideration for an Award other than the rendering of services to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate.

13.8 Deferral.

(a) Section 162(m) Related Deferral. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if permitted under Section 409A of the Code, in the event that any Award shall be ineligible for treatment as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Board Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right with respect to any Executive Officer who is, in the year any Award hereunder otherwise would become deductible by the Company, a “covered employee” under Section 162(m) of the Code, to defer such Executive Officer’s receipt of such Award until the Executive Officer is no longer a “covered employee” or until such time as shall be determined by the Board Committee, provided that the Board Committee may effect such a deferral only in a situation where the Board Committee reasonably anticipates that the Company would be prohibited a deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code and such deferral shall be limited to the portion of the Award that reasonably is anticipated not to be deductible. In no event shall the provisions of this Section 13.8(a) apply to Options or SARs.

(b) Other Deferral. Except with respect to Options and SARs, the Board Committee may in its discretion permit a Participant to defer the receipt of payment of cash or delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to the Participant by virtue of the exercise of a right or the satisfaction of vesting or other conditions with respect to an Award. If any such deferral is to be permitted by the Board Committee, the Board Committee shall establish written rules and procedures relating to such deferral in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, the time when an election to defer may be made, the time period of the deferral and the events that would result in payment of the deferred amount, the interest or other earnings attributable to the deferral and the method of funding, if any, attributable to the deferred amount.

13.9 Securities Laws. No Shares will be issued or transferred pursuant to an Award unless and until all then applicable requirements imposed by Federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and by any exchanges upon which the Shares may be listed, have been fully met. As a condition precedent to the issuance of Shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Award, the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements. The Board Committee may impose such conditions on any Shares issuable under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under the requirements of any exchange upon which such Shares of the same class are then listed, and under any blue sky or other securities laws applicable to such Shares. The Board Committee may also require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of issuance or transfer that the Shares are being acquired only for investment purposes and without any current intention to sell or distribute such Shares.

13.10 Impact of Restatement of Financial Statements upon Previous Awards. If any of the Company’s financial statements are restated as a result of errors, omissions, or fraud, the Board Committee may direct that the Company recover all or a portion of any such Award or payment made to any, all or any class of Participants with respect to any fiscal year of the Company the financial results of which are negatively affected by such restatement. The amount to be recovered from any Participant shall be the amount by which the affected Award or payment exceeded the amount that would have been payable to such Participant had the financial statements been initially filed as restated, or any greater or lesser amount (including, but not limited to, the entire Award) that the Board Committee shall determine. The Board Committee may determine to recover different amounts from different Participants or different classes of Participants on such basis as it shall deem appropriate. In no event shall the amount to be recovered by the Company from a Participant be less than the amount required to be repaid or recovered as a matter of law. The Board Committee shall determine whether the Company shall effect any such recovery (i) by seeking repayment from the Participant, (ii) by reducing the amount that would otherwise be payable to the Participant under any compensatory plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company, a Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates, (iii) by withholding payment of future increases in compensation (including the payment of any discretionary bonus amount) or grants of compensatory awards that would otherwise have been made in accordance with the Company’s otherwise applicable compensation practices, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing or otherwise (subject, in each of subclause (ii), (iii) and (iv), to applicable law, including without limitation Section 409A of the Code, and the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or arrangement). This Section 13.10 shall be a non-exclusive remedy and nothing contained in this Section 13.10 shall preclude the Company from pursuing any other applicable remedies available to it, whether in addition to, or in lieu of, application of this Section 13.10. In addition, Awards under the Plan are also subject to recoupment pursuant to policies adopted by the Company, as such policies are in effect from time to time.

13.11 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. All Awards under the Plan are intended to be exempt from (or comply with) the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permitted. To the extent applicable, the Plan is intended to be administered and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for a Participant with respect to any income recognized by the Participant in connection with the Plan is guaranteed under the Plan, and the Participant shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Participant in connection with the Plan.

13.12 Tax Advice. The provisions of the Plan are not intended, and should not be construed, to be legal, business or tax advice.

13.13 Governing Law and Interpretation. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any agreement governing an Award shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. Unless otherwise indicated, all “Section” references are to sections of the Plan. References to any law, rule or regulation shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing, or interpreting such law, rule or regulation.

13.14 Severability. Notwithstanding any other provision or Section of the Plan, if any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award Agreement under any law deemed applicable by the Board or the Board Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws (but only to such extent necessary to comply with such laws), or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board or the Board Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or Award Agreement, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

13.15 No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

13.16 Waiver of Claims. Each Participant recognizes and agrees that prior to being selected by the Board Committee to receive an Award he or she has no right to any benefits hereunder. Accordingly, in consideration of the Participant’s receipt of any Award hereunder, he or she expressly waives any right to contest the amount of any Award, the terms of any Award Agreement, any determination, action or omission hereunder or under any Award Agreement by the Board Committee, the Company or the Board, or any amendment to the Plan or any Award Agreement (other than an amendment to the Plan or an Award Agreement to which his or her consent is expressly required by the express terms of the Plan or an Award Agreement).

13.17 Effective Date and Term.

(a) Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon approval by the shareholders of the Company at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Plan Effective Date”). All Awards granted under the Plan must be granted within ten (10) years from the Plan Effective Date; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Options shall be granted after the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Plan was approved by the Board. Any Awards outstanding ten (10) years after the Plan Effective Date may be exercised within the periods prescribed under or pursuant to the Plan.

(b) Predecessor Plan. Upon the Plan Effective Date, no further grants or awards are permitted under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. All grants and awards under the Predecessor Plan that remain outstanding shall be administered and paid in accordance with the provisions of the Predecessor Plan and the applicable award agreement.

Approved and adopted by the Board of Directors the 28th day of August 2015.
