(1) As soon as practical following the end of the Fiscal Year, the Committee will certify performance achieved against the performance criteria established at the beginning of the Fiscal Year. The performance criteria shall be determined in the discretion of the Committee considering all factors relevant to the management of the Corporation, provided that an Award under this Section that is intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall satisfy the Performance Measures and the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(2) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate any Award otherwise earned based on an assessment of individual performance, but in no event may any such reduction result in an increase of the Award. The Committee shall determine the amount of any such reduction by taking into account such factors as it deems relevant including, without limitation: (a) performance against other financial or strategic objectives; (b) its subjective assessment of the Participants overall performance for the year; and (c) prevailing levels of total compensation among similar companies.
(3) Performance criteria for Annual Incentive Awards will not be increased or decreased within a Fiscal Year except for extraordinary circumstances approved by the Committee.
(4) Payment of an Annual Incentive Award will be made in cash to the Participant during the period beginning January 1 and ending March 15 of the year following the end of the Fiscal Year to which the Annual Incentive Award relates, subject to any acceleration or delay in payment permitted under Code Section 409A, as defined in Section XXII.
(5) The Committee may permit the deferral of any Award and may permit payment on deferrals to be made subject to rules and procedures it may establish; provided that in the case of any Nonqualified Stock Option, the Committee may permit a feature that provides for the deferral of compensation, including, but not limited to, a feature that allows a holder of a Nonqualified Stock Option to elect deferred delivery of profit shares, only with respect to any Nonqualified Stock Option that was earned and vested on December 31, 2004, determined pursuant to and in accordance with Code Section 409A, as defined in Section XXII. These rules may include provisions crediting interest on deferred cash accounts.
(6) The Committee shall set the performance criteria for each years Annual Incentive Awards no later than the first 90 days of the Fiscal Year.
(7) It shall be presumed unless the Committee determines to the contrary, that all Awards to Employees under this Section are intended to qualify for Performance-Based Exception. If the Committee does not intend an Award to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception the Committee shall reflect its intent in its records in
E-33
such manner as the Committee determines to be appropriate. For the purpose of complying with the Performance-Based Exception rules of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the maximum Award under this Section of the Plan to any one Employee during any one Fiscal Year shall not exceed $4,000,000.
SECTION VI
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
(1) Unless and until the Corporations stockholders approve a change in the general Performance Measures set forth in this Section VI, the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout and/or vesting with respect to Awards that are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Performance Measures to be used for purposes of such Awards may be measured at the Corporation level, at a subsidiary level, or at an operating unit level and shall be chosen from among: (a) income measures (including, but not limited to, gross profits, operation income, earnings before or after taxes, earnings per share, cost reductions); (b) return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, investment, equity, or sales); (c) cash flow, cash flow return on investments, which equals net cash flows divided by owners equity; (d) gross revenues from operations; (e) total revenue; (f) cash value added; (g) economic value added; (h) share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total shareholder return); (i) sales growth; (j) market share; (k) the achievement of certain quantitatively and objectively determinable non-financial performance measures (including, but not limited to, growth strategies, strategic initiatives, product development, product quality, corporate development, and leadership development); and (l) any combination of, or a specified increase in, any of the foregoing.
(2) The Committee shall set the Performance Measures for each years Annual Incentive Awards no later than the first 90 days of the Fiscal Year.
(3) The Committee shall have the discretion to adjust the determination of the degree of attainment of the preestablished goals; provided that the Awards that are designated to qualify for Performance-Based Exception may not be adjusted upward (although the Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward). In no event shall the Performance Period for any performance-based equity Award be less than one year.
(4) In the case of any Award that is granted subject to the condition that a specific Performance Measure be achieved, no payment under such Award shall be made prior to the time the Committee certifies in writing that that the Performance Measure has been achieved. For this purpose, approved minutes of the Committee meeting at which the certification is made shall be treated as a written certification. No such certification is required, however, in the case of an Award that is based solely on an increase in the value of a share of Common Stock from the date the Award is made.
SECTION VII
STOCK OPTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
(1) The Committee may grant Nonqualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options or a combination of both to Employee Participants in the amount and at the time that the Committee approves. The Committee may grant Nonqualified Stock Options to Consultant Participants in the amount and at the time that the Committee approves. In order to provide a limitation on the number of shares as provided for in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder, Stock Option grants shall be limited to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares per year for any Employee Participant.
(2) The Committee will document the terms of the Stock Option in an Award Agreement to include the Grant Date and Exercise Price, as well as any other terms that it may desire. The Exercise Price under a Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section XII, the Exercise Price of outstanding Options fixed by the Committee shall not be modified.
E-34
(3) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Stock Option granted under the Plan will become exercisable in whole or in part after the commencement of the second year of the term of the Stock Option to the extent of one third of the shares, to the extent of one third of the shares after commencement of the third year, and to the extent of one third of the shares after commencement of the fourth year.
(4) A Stock Option granted under the Plan will be exercisable during such period as the Committee may determine, and will be subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided. In no event, however, may a Stock Option governed by the Plan be exercised after the expiration of its term. Except as provided herein, no Stock Option granted under this Section of the Plan to an Employee or Consultant may be exercised at any time unless the Participant who holds the Stock Option is then an Employee or Consultant, respectively. The option can be exercised in whole or in part through (i) cashless exercise, (ii) the Corporation withholding from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option a number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal, as of the date of exercise, to the Exercise Price of the Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Stock Option shall have been exercised (Net-Exercise), or (iii) other arrangements through agents, including stockbrokers, under arrangements established by the Corporation by paying the amounts required by instructions issued by the Secretary of the Corporation for the exercise of the Stock Options. If an exercise is not covered by instructions issued by the Corporate Secretary, the purchase price is to be paid in full to the Corporation upon the exercise of a Stock Option either (I) by cash including a personal check made payable to the Corporation, (II) by delivering at fair market value on the date of exercise unrestricted Common Stock already owned by the Participant, or (III) by any combination of cash and unrestricted Common Stock, and in either case, by payment to the Corporation of any withholding tax. In no event may successive simultaneous pyramiding be used to exercise a Stock Option. Shares which otherwise would be delivered to the holder of a Stock Option may be delivered, at the election of the holder, to the Corporation in payment of federal, state and/or local withholding taxes payable in connection with an exercise.
(5) The Participant who holds a Stock Option will have none of the rights of a shareowner with respect to the shares subject to a Stock Option until such shares are issued upon the exercise of a Stock Option.
(6) Neither the Corporation nor any subsidiary may directly or indirectly lend money to any Participant for the purpose of assisting the individual to acquire shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Stock Options granted under the Plan.
(7) Provisions for Restoration Stock Options may be contained in the terms of a Underlying Option that was granted under the Plan prior to December 16, 2008. Restoration Stock Options granted under the Plan in respect of any Underlying Option awarded hereunder prior to December 16, 2008 may be granted pursuant to the following terms: (a) Restoration Stock Options may be granted if the Participant elects to make a restoration option exercise of an Underlying Option, pays the exercise price by transferring to the Corporation Common Stock of the Corporation held by the Participant, and pays the withholding tax by transferring Common Stock or cash. The number of Restoration Stock Options that will be granted is equal to the number of shares used to pay the exercise price and the number of shares with value equal to the tax liability; (b) The Restoration Stock Options will have a term equal to the remaining term of the Underlying Option, will have an Exercise Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the stock on the date of grant of the Restoration Option, and will become exercisable in six months after grant (or, if sooner, one month before the end of the term of the Underlying Option), and otherwise will have the same general terms and conditions Nonqualified Stock Options granted by the Corporation; (c) The shares that represent the difference between the Exercise Price of the Underlying Option and the value of the shares on the date of exercise, less withholding taxes, generally cannot be transferred for a period of three (3) years; and (d) To the extent permitted by the Committee under Section V(5), at the election of the Participant delivery of the shares may be deferred.
(8) In the event of the termination of the employment of an Employee who holds an outstanding Stock Option, other than by reason of death, total and permanent disability or a Qualified Retirement, the Employee may (unless the Stock Option shall have been previously terminated) exercise the Stock Option at any time within three (3) months after such termination, but not after the expiration of the term of the grant, to the extent
E-35
of the number of shares which were exercisable at the date of the termination of employment. In the event of termination of service as a Consultant who holds an outstanding Stock Option, other than by reason of death or total and permanent disability, the Consultant may (unless the Stock Option shall have been previously terminated) exercise the Stock Option at any time within three (3) months after such termination, but not after the expiration of the term of the grant, to the extent of the number of shares which were exercisable at the date of the termination of service. Stock Options granted under this Section of the Plan to an Employee will not be affected by any change of employment so long as the Participant continues to be an Employee. Provided, however, if the Participant is terminated for cause as defined in the International Truck and Engine Corporation Income Protection Plan, or if the Participant is covered by a different severance plan or agreement, then as defined in such plan or agreement, the three-month period provided by this subsection shall not apply and the Stock Option shall cease to be exercisable and shall lapse as of the effective date of the termination of the Employee.
(9) Except as provided in Section VII(12), in the event of a Qualified Retirement an Employee who holds an outstanding Stock Option may exercise the Stock Option to the extent the option is exercisable or becomes exercisable under its terms, at any time during the term of the option grant.

If death occurs during the three-month period specified in Section VII(8), Stock Options may be exercised to the extent of the number of shares that were exercisable at the date of death.
(12) Notwithstanding the other provisions of Sections VII(9) or VII(11), no Stock Option which is not exercisable at the time of a Qualified Retirement shall become exercisable after such Qualified Retirement if, without the written consent of the Corporation, a Participant engages in a business, whether as owner, partner, officer, employee, or otherwise, which is in competition with the Corporation or one of its affiliates, and if the Participants participation in such business is deemed by the Corporation to be detrimental to the best interests of the Corporation. The determination as to whether such business is in competition with the Corporation or any of its affiliates, and whether such participation by such person is detrimental to the best interests of the Corporation, shall be made by the Corporation in its absolute discretion, and the decision of the Corporation with respect thereto, including its determination as to when the participation in such competitive business commenced, shall be conclusive.
(13) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, (a) the exercise of a Stock Option granted under the Plan at any time on or after April 16, 2007 shall be settled solely in shares of Common Stock, and under no circumstances whatsoever shall a Stock Option be exercisable with respect to any period during which the exercise of such Stock Option would violate Applicable Law, as defined in Section XXII, and (b) in accordance with both the terms of the Prospectus for the Plan and the power and authority reserved to the Committee under Section XIII, and to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, as defined in Section XXII, the exercise of a Stock Option granted under the Plan at any time before April 16, 2007 shall be settled solely in shares of Common Stock, and under no circumstances whatsoever shall a Stock Option be exercisable with respect to any period during which the exercise of such Stock Option would violate Applicable Law, as defined in Section XXII.

Any Award the value of which is not solely dependent on value of the stock on which the award is based shall not exceed $4,000,000 for any Employee for the year.
SECTION XI
RESTRICTED STOCK
(1) Restricted Stock, or Stock Units, may be granted during a Fiscal Year or at any time thereafter. Awards under the Plan may be granted in the form of Restricted Stock, in the form of Stock Units, or in any combination of both. Restricted Stock or Stock Units may also be awarded in combination with Stock Options, and such an Award may provide that the Restricted Shares or Stock Units will be forfeited in the event that the terms of the Award Agreement are not fulfilled.
(2) Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be made under the Plan to Participants for meeting the stock ownership requirements as described in the Navistar Executive Stock Ownership Program, as may be amended from time to time by the Board of Directors, in their sole discretion, or for any other purpose.
(3) Each Award of Restricted Stock or Stock Units shall become vested, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Award Agreement. In no event will an Award of Restricted Stock or Stock Units granted under the Plan vest in full prior to the commencement of the third year anniversary of the Grant Date, except that any Award (or portion thereof) of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan representing a Non-Employee Directors first quarterly retainer shall be immediately vested upon the Grant Date.
E-39
(4) The Participant will be entitled to all dividends paid with respect to all Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan during the period of restriction and will not be required to return any such dividends to the Corporation in the event of the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock. The Participant also will be entitled to vote Restricted Stock during the period of restriction.
(5) All Restricted Stock certificates awarded under the Plan are to be delivered to the Participant with an appropriate legend imprinted on the certificate.
(6) In the event a Participant dies while employed by the Corporation or a subsidiary, performing services as a Consultant, or serving as a Non-Employee-Director of the Corporation, or following a Qualified Retirement or total or permanent disability, the Restricted Stock or Stock Units will vest as of the date of death and all restrictions shall lapse and the Restricted Stock or Stock Units will be immediately transferable to the named beneficiary or to the Participants estate. Any Restricted Stock or Stock Units that becomes payable after the Participants death shall be distributed to the Participants beneficiary or beneficiaries. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Secretary of the Corporation at any time before the Participants death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, then any Restricted Stock or Stock Units that becomes payable after the Participants death shall be distributed to the Participants estate.
(7) In the event a Participant who holds unvested Restricted Stock or Stock Units, terminates employment or service as a Non-Employee Director with the Corporation by reason of Qualified Retirement or total and permanent disability, the Restricted Stock or Stock Units will continue to vest according to the terms of the Restricted Stock. In the event a Participant who holds unvested Restricted Stock or Stock Units, terminates service as a Consultant by reason of total and permanent disability, the Restricted Stock or Stock Units will continue to vest according to the terms of the Restricted Stock.
(8) In the event a Participant otherwise terminates employment or service as a Consultant or Non-Employee Director, any Restricted Stock or Stock Units that is not vested forfeits to the Corporation.
(9) Its shall be presumed unless the Committee determines to the contrary, that all awards to Employees under this Section of the Plan are intended to qualify for Performance-Based Exception. If the Committee does not intend an Award to an Employee to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception the Committee shall reflect its intent in its records in such manner as the Committee determines to be appropriate. For the purpose of complying with the Performance-Based Exception rules of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the maximum Award under this Section of the Plan to any one Employee during any one Fiscal Year shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares.
SECTION XII
ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award Agreements may contain such provisions as the Committee determines to be appropriate for the adjustment of the number and class of shares, subject to each outstanding Stock Option or SAR, the exercise prices in the event of changes in, or distributions with respect to, the outstanding Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, split-ups, combinations or exchanges of shares, spinoffs and the like, and, in the event of any such changes in, or distribution with respect to, the outstanding Common Stock, the aggregate number and class of shares available under the Plan and the limits applicable to Awards under the Plan, in each case, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.
E-40
SECTION XIII
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
Full power and authority to construe, interpret and administer the Plan is vested in the Committee. Decisions of the Committee will be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties, including the Corporation, shareowners, Employee, Consultants, and Non-Employee Directors. The foregoing will include, but will not be limited to, all determinations by the Committee as to (a) the approval of Employees, Consultants, and Non-Employee Directors for participation in the Plan, (b) the amount of the Awards, (c) the performance levels at which different percentages of the Awards would be earned and all subsequent adjustments to such levels and (d) the determination of all Awards. Any person who accepts any Award hereunder agrees to accept as final, conclusive and binding all determinations of the Committee. The Committee will have the right, in the case of Employees or Consultants who are employed or engaged to perform services, respectively, outside the United States, or Non-Employee Directors not resident in the United States, to vary from the provision of the Plan to the extent the Committee deems appropriate in order to preserve the incentive features of the Plan.
SECTION XIV
NON-ASSIGNMENT
Awards under the Plan may not be assigned or alienated. In case of a Participants death, the amounts distributable to the deceased Participant under the Plan with respect to which a designation of beneficiary has been made (to the extent it is valid and enforceable under applicable law) shall be distributed in accordance with the Plan to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. The amount distributable to a Participant upon death and not subject to such a designation shall be distributed to the Participants estate. If there is any question as to the right of any beneficiary to receive a distribution under the Plan, the amount in question may be paid to the estate of the Participant, in which event the Corporation will have no further liability to anyone with respect to such amount.
SECTION XV
WITHHOLDING TAXES
A Participant may elect, subject to the provisions of the applicable Sections of the Plan and the terms of the Award, to pay any withholding tax due in connection with the exercise of any Stock Option or SAR or upon the vesting of Restricted Stock or the settlement of any other Award either (i) by cash including a personal check made payable to the Corporation or (ii) by delivering at fair market value, on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined, unrestricted Common Stock already owned by the Participant, or (iii) by any combination of cash or unrestricted Common Stock. In addition, the Committee may permit, in the Award Agreement or otherwise, that in the event that a Participant is required to pay to the Corporation any amount to be withheld in connection with the exercise, vesting or settlement of an Award denominated in shares, the Participant may satisfy such obligation (in whole or in part) by electing to have the Corporation withhold a portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award equal in value to the minimum amount required to be withheld. The value of the shares to be withheld shall be the fair market value on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.
E-41
SECTION XVI
RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANT
To the extent that any Participant, beneficiary or estate acquires a right to receive payments or distributions under the Plan, such right will be no greater than the right of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation. All payments and distributions to be made hereunder will be paid from the general assets of the Corporation. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create any contracted right or trust of any kind or fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and any Participant, beneficiary or estate.
SECTION XVII
MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
The Committee may modify, amend, or terminate the Plan at any time, provided that, unless the requisite approval of stockholders is obtained, no amendment shall be made to the Plan if such amendment would (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan or increase the limits applicable to Awards under the Plan, in each case, except as provided in Section XII; (ii) lower the Exercise Price of the Stock Option or SAR grant value below 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date, except as provided in Section XII; (iii) remove the repricing restriction set forth in Section IX; or (iv) require stockholder approval as a matter of law or under rules of the New York Stock Exchange. No Plan amendment shall, without the affected Participants consent, terminate or adversely affect any right or obligation under any Stock Option or other Award previously granted under the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, in no event shall the Plan or any Award Agreement be amended to eliminate or otherwise adversely affect the election rights provided to a Participant pursuant to Section XX of the Plan without the written consent of the affected Participant.
SECTION XVIII
RESERVATION OF SHARES
(1) The total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for delivery pursuant to this Plan is 3,250,000 shares of Common Stock. The number of shares authorized and available shall be increased by shares of Common Stock subject to an option or award under this Plan or any other plan, including the Navistar 1994 Performance Incentive Plan, the Navistar 1998 Supplemental Stock Plan, or the 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, that is cancelled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without a delivery of shares to the Participant of the plan, including shares used to pay the option exercise price of an option issued under the Plan or any other plan or to pay taxes with respect to such an option.
(2) In order to provide a limitation on the number of shares that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options as provided by the Code, no more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or if less the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan, shall be granted as Incentive Stock Options in any calendar year. Such shares may be in whole or in part, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine, authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or issued shares of Common Stock which shall have been reacquired by the Corporation.
(3) In order to provide a limitation on the number of shares that may be issued as Restricted Stock, Stock Units, SARs, and Awards other than Stock Options, no more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be granted as Restricted Stock, Stock Units, SARs, or Awards other than Stock Options.
E-42
SECTION XIX
RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES
Status as an Employee shall not be construed as a commitment that any one or more Awards will be made under this Plan to an Employee or to Employees generally. Status as a Participant shall not entitle the Participant to any additional future Awards. Nothing in the Plan will confer on any Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or interfere with or prevent in any way the right of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to terminate an Employee or Participants employment at any time for any reason.
SECTION XX
CHANGE IN CONTROL
Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, all awarded Restricted Stock and Stock Units will immediately be free of all restrictions and performance contingencies and will be deemed fully earned and not subject to forfeiture and all outstanding Stock Options governed by the Plan will be immediately exercisable and shall continue to be exercisable for a period of three (3) years from the date of the Change in Control regardless of the original term or employment status, except that the term of any Incentive Stock Option shall not be extended beyond ten (10) years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, each Participant may elect, in a form and manner determined by the Corporation, that any Stock Option held by the Participant at the time of the Change in Control whose exercise in accordance with the terms of the Plan is prohibited at the time of the Change in Control by reason of the application of Federal or state securities laws shall be canceled effective as of the Change in Control in exchange for a cash payment from the Corporation equal to (i) (a) the excess (if any) of the value per share of Common Stock provided to stockholders of the Corporation generally in connection with the Change in Control (or, if none, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the Change in Control or, if not a trading day, on the last trading day preceding the date of the Change in Control) over the Exercise Price under the Stock Option multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option, less (ii) the statutory minimum withholding tax that may be due by reason of such payment, provided that this election will apply in respect of an Incentive Stock Option outstanding as of June 18, 2007 only if the holder of the Incentive Stock Option consents, during a period of less than 30 days following June 18, 2007, to its application to the Incentive Stock Option.
SECTION XXI
LIMITATION OF ACTIONS
Every right of action by or on behalf of the Corporation or any shareowner against any past, present or future member of the Board of Directors, officer or Employee arising out of or in connection with the Plan will, irrespective of the place where action may be brought and irrespective of the place of residence of any such director, officer or Employee, cease and be barred by the expiration of three (3) years from whichever is the later of (a) the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises or (b) the first date upon which there has been made generally available to shareowners an annual report of the Corporation and a proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareowners following the issuance of such annual report, which annual report and proxy statement alone or together set forth, for the related period, the aggregate amount of Awards under the Plan during such period; and any and all right of action by an Employee, Consultant, or Non-Employee Director (past, present or future) against the Corporation arising out of or in connection with the Plan shall, irrespective of the place where action may be brought, cease and be barred by the expiration of three (3) years from the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises.
E-43
SECTION XXII
GOVERNING LAW
The Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable Federal laws and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith or pre-empted thereby, with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions of that State or any other jurisdiction), including applicable regulations, rules, and such other applicable authorities thereunder (Applicable Law). Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, the receipt, exercise, issuance, and disposition, as appropriate, of any Award, Common Stock, Stock Option, or other incentive or award under the Plan is expressly conditioned upon and subject to any and all limitations, restrictions, prohibitions, or such other conditions imposed by Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, applicable Federal and state securities law. Without limiting the generality and applicability of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if and to the extent any amounts payable or benefits provided under this Plan are subject to, and would otherwise violate, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, including applicable regulations, rules, and such other applicable authorities thereunder (Code Section 409A), such amounts or benefits shall be paid or provided under such other conditions, determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, that cause the provision of such amounts or benefits to comply with, or not to be subject to, Code Section 409A and this Plan shall be construed and administered accordingly to achieve that objective.
SECTION XXIII
EFFECTIVE DATE
The effective date of the Plan shall be February 17, 2004 (the Effective Date), subject to approval by the stockholders at the Corporations Annual Meeting to be held on February 17, 2004, or any adjournment thereof. The Plan shall continue in effect for ten (10) years from the Effective Date, expiring February 16, 2014. No Awards may be granted under the Plan subsequent to February 16, 2014, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with their terms.
