(b)    Powers of the Committee.

(i)    The Committee shall adopt such rules as it may deem appropriate in order to carry out the purpose of the Plan. All questions of interpretation, administration and application of the Plan shall be determined by a majority of the members of the Committee then in office, except that the Committee may authorize any one or more of its members, or any officer of the Company, to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee. The determination of such majority shall be final and binding as to all matters relating to the Plan.

(ii)    The Committee shall have authority to select Participants from among the Eligible Persons specified in Section 1.4 below, to determine the type of Award to be granted, to determine the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award or the cash amount payable in connection with an Award, to determine the terms and conditions of each Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan, to establish blackout periods, to determine transfer restrictions, clawback or repayment provisions and determine whether shares of Common Stock issuable under an Award will be subject to such further restrictions or conditions as the Committee may determine, including, but not limited to, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture provisions and tax withholding conditions.

Except as provided herein, the Committee shall also have the authority to amend the terms of any outstanding Award or waive any conditions or restrictions applicable to any Award; provided, however, that, subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.11 and Article XI hereof, no amendment shall materially impair the rights of the holder thereof without the holder’s consent. With respect to any restrictions in the Plan or in any Agreement that are based on the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, the rules of any exchange upon which the Company’s securities are listed, or any other applicable law, rule or restriction, to the extent that any such restrictions are no longer required, the Committee shall have the discretion and authority to grant Awards that are not subject to such restrictions and/or to waive any such restrictions with respect to outstanding Awards.

Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation or thereafter. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as obligating the Committee to delegate authority to an Administrator, and the Committee may at any time rescind the authority delegated to an Administrator appointed hereunder or appoint a new Administrator. At all times, the Administrator appointed under this Section 1.3(c) shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee. Any action undertaken by the Administrator in accordance with the Committee’s delegation of authority shall have the same force and effect as if undertaken directly by the Committee, and any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall, to the extent consistent with the terms and limitations of such delegation, be deemed to include a reference to the Administrator.

(d)    Grants to Directors. Any Awards or formula for granting Awards under the Plan made to Directors shall be approved by the Board or such other committee to which the Board may so delegate (the “Director Grant Committee”). With respect to awards to Directors, all rights, powers and authorities vested in the Committee under the Plan shall instead be exercised by the Board or the Director Grant Committee, and all provisions of the Plan relating to the Committee shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the foregoing by treating any such reference as a reference to the Board or the Director Grant Committee for such purpose.

The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Agreements, as to the persons receiving Awards under the Plan, the terms and provisions of Awards under the Plan and adjustments of Awards under Article VIII hereof.

Subject to applicable law: (i) no member of the Committee nor any Administrator shall be liable to any Participant or any other person for anything whatsoever in connection with the administration of the Plan except such person’s own willful misconduct; (ii) under no circumstances shall any member of the Committee or any Administrator be liable for any act or omission of any member of the Committee or any Administrator other than himself; and (iii) in the performance of its functions with respect to the Plan, the Committee and any Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon information and advice furnished by the Company’s officers, the Company’s accountants, the Company’s or the Committee’s counsel and any other party the Committee or such Administrator deems necessary, and no member of the Committee or such Administrator shall be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith reliance upon any such advice.

Section 1.4    Eligible Persons.

Individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan (each, an “Eligible Person”) include (a) any Employee (including any prospective employee) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to Employees of any corporation or other entity in which the Company owns or controls, directly or indirectly, 50% or less of the outstanding shares of stock normally entitled to vote for the election of directors (or comparable voting power); (b) any Director (including any prospective director); (c) to the extent designated by the Committee, any Consultant (including any prospective consultant) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (d) individuals who are eligible to receive Adjusted or Substitute Awards.

Section 1.5    Common Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a)    Plan Limit. Subject to adjustment under Article VIII hereof, the total number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery pursuant to Awards under the Plan (the “Section 1.5 Limit”) is 13,100,000 shares, which includes (i) the 8,000,000 shares initially reserved for issuance under the Plan as of the Effective Date and (ii) the additional 5,100,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Plan as of the Amendment Date.

(b)    Rules Applicable to Determining Shares Available for Issuance. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock that remain available for delivery pursuant to Awards at any time, the following rules apply:

(ii)    The following shall be added back to the Section 1.5 Limit and shall again be available for Awards:

(A)    shares underlying Awards or portions thereof that are settled in cash and not in shares of Common Stock; and

(iii)    Anything to the contrary in this Plan notwithstanding,

(A)    (1) shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company by a Participant to purchase shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations (including shares retained from the Award creating the withholding obligation), and (2) shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an Award, in either instance shall not be added back to the Section 1.5 Limit; and

(B)    upon the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right settled in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares subject to the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right (or portion thereof) that is then being exercised shall be counted against the Section 1.5 Limit, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered in settlement of the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right (or portion thereof) upon exercise.

(iv)    Anything to the contrary in this Plan notwithstanding, any shares of Common Stock underlying Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the Section 1.5 Limit, and the lapse, expiration, termination, forfeiture or cancellation of any Substitute Award without the issuance of shares of Common Stock or payment of cash thereunder shall not result in an increase of the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, Adjusted Awards shall be treated as Awards generally (and not as Substitute Awards) for purposes of this Section 1.5(b)(iv).

Section 1.6    Limits on Awards to Participants.

The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the time at which a Participant vests in his or her Stock Options.

(b)    Option Period. For each Stock Option granted, the Committee shall specify the period during which the Stock Option may be exercised; provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.

(D)    if an Employee or a Consultant dies, his or her Outstanding Stock Options may be exercised to the extent exercisable at the date of death by (i) his or her beneficiary, if the Company has adopted procedures whereby Participants may designate a beneficiary and the Participant has done so, or (ii) if the Company has not adopted such procedures or the Participant has not designated a beneficiary, by the person or persons who acquired the right to exercise such Outstanding Stock Options by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in either such case until the earlier of two years after the date of death or the expiration of the term of such Outstanding Stock Options.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3(c) or as the Committee has determined or determines otherwise, upon the occurrence of an event described in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 2.3(c), all rights with respect to Stock Options that are not vested as of such event will be relinquished.

(ii)    Termination for Cause. If an Employee’s or a Consultant’s Service ends due to a Termination for Cause then, unless the Committee in its discretion determines otherwise, all Outstanding Stock Options, whether or not then vested, shall terminate effective as of the date of such termination.

(d)    Exercise in the Event of Termination of Service – Directors.

(i)    Termination Other than for Cause; Termination due to Death or Permanent Disability. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3(d) or as the Board or Director Grant Committee has determined or determines otherwise, the following shall apply:

(A)    subject to clauses (B) and (C) below, if a Director’s Service ceases by reason of his or her voluntary termination or termination by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than for Cause (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall include the Director not being re-elected to the Board), his or her Outstanding Stock Options may be exercised to the extent then exercisable until the earlier of six months after the date of such termination or the expiration of the term of such Outstanding Stock Options;

(B)    if a Director’s Service ceases by reason of his or her Permanent Disability, his or her Outstanding Stock Options may be exercised to the extent then exercisable until the earlier of three years after such date or the expiration of the term of such Outstanding Stock Options; or

(C)    if a Director dies, his or her Outstanding Stock Options may be exercised to the extent exercisable at the date of death by (i) his or her beneficiary, if the Company has adopted procedures whereby Directors may designate a beneficiary and the Director has done so, or (ii) if the Company has not adopted such procedures or the Director has not designated a beneficiary, by the person or persons who acquired the right to exercise such Outstanding Stock Options by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in either such case until the earlier of two years after the date of death or the expiration of the term of such Outstanding Stock Options.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3(d) or as the Board or Director Grant Committee has determined or determines otherwise, upon the occurrence of an event described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 2.3(d), all rights with respect to Stock Options that are not vested as of such event will be relinquished.

(ii)    Termination for Cause. If a Director’s Service ends due to a Termination for Cause then, unless the Board or Director Grant Committee in its discretion determines otherwise, all Outstanding Stock Options, whether or not then vested, shall terminate effective as of the date of such termination.

Section 2.4    Payment of Purchase Price Upon Exercise.

Shares of Common Stock purchased through the exercise of a Stock Option shall be paid for in full on or before the settlement date for the shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option. Payment shall be made in cash or, to the extent permitted in the discretion of the Committee, through delivery or attestation of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company designated by the Committee, in a combination of cash, shares or such other securities or in any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its discretion. If the Agreement so provides, such exercise price may also be paid in whole or in part using a net share settlement procedure or through the withholding of shares subject to the Stock Option with a value equal to the exercise price. In accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Committee for this purpose, a Stock Option may also be exercised through a “cashless exercise” procedure, involving a broker or dealer, that affords Participants the opportunity to sell immediately some or all of the shares underlying the exercised portion of the Stock Option in order to generate sufficient cash to pay the exercise price of the Option.

Section 2.5    No Repricing of Stock Options.

The Committee may not Reprice any Stock Option without stockholder approval. As used in this Section 2.5, “Reprice” means any of the following or any other action that has the same effect at a time when its exercise price exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock: (i) amending a Stock Option to reduce its exercise price, (ii) canceling a Stock Option in exchange for a Stock Option, Restricted Share, other equity award or cash, or (iii) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP, provided that nothing in this Section 2.5 shall prevent the Committee from making adjustments pursuant to Article VIII hereof.

Section 3.1    Stock Appreciation Rights.

The Committee may from time to time grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Persons on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and on such other terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of the Plan, as the Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time determine. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights alone or in tandem with Stock Options.

Section 3.2    Stock Appreciation Rights Granted In Tandem with Stock Options.

A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Stock Option may be granted either at the time of the grant of the Stock Option or by amendment at any time prior to the exercise, expiration or termination of such Stock Option. The Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Stock Option and shall be exercisable only at such times and to such extent as the related Stock Option. A tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the holder to surrender to the Company all or a portion of the related Stock Option unexercised and receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option, determined as of the day preceding the surrender of such Stock Option, over the aggregate exercise price of the Stock Option (or of the portion of the Stock Option so surrendered). Such amount shall be paid in cash, or in the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company designated by the Committee or in a combination of cash, shares of Common Stock or such other securities.

Section 3.3    Stand-Alone Stock Appreciation Rights.

Stock Appreciation Rights granted alone (that is, not in tandem with Stock Options) (“Stand-Alone SARs”) shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3 and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish at or after the time of grant and set forth in the applicable Agreement.

(a)    Exercise Price. The Committee shall establish the per share exercise price of each Stand-Alone SAR; provided that such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the per share exercise price of a Stand-Alone SAR that is a Substitute Award or an Adjusted Award may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant provided that such substitution or adjustment complies with applicable laws and regulations, including the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and Section 409A, as applicable. The exercise price of any Stand-Alone SAR will be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof.

(b)    Exercisability of Stand-Alone SARs. Unless the Committee has determined or determines otherwise, Stand-Alone SARs shall be exercisable only to the extent the Participant is vested therein, subject to any restrictions that the Committee shall determine and specify in the applicable Agreement (or any employment agreement applicable to the Participant). The Committee shall establish the vesting schedule applicable to Stand-Alone SARs, which vesting schedule shall specify the period of time and the increments in which a Participant shall vest in the Stand-Alone SARs and/or any applicable Performance Goals, subject to any restrictions that the Committee shall determine. The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the time at which a Participant vests in his or her Stand-Alone SARs.

(c)    Period of Exercise. For each Stand-Alone SAR granted, the Committee shall specify the period during which the Stand-Alone SAR may be exercised; provided, however, that no Stand-Alone SAR shall be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant. If the period of a Stand-Alone SAR’s exercisability determined in accordance with the preceding sentence ends on a day that is not a Trading Day, the Stand-Alone SAR may be exercised up to and including the last Trading Day before such date.

(d)    Exercise in the Event of Termination of Service. Unless the Committee has determined or determines otherwise, in the event that (i) the Participant’s Service ceases by reason of the voluntary termination by the Participant or the termination by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than for Cause, (ii) the Participant’s Service ceases by reason of the Participant’s Retirement, (iii) the Permanent Disability of the Participant occurs, (iv) a Participant dies during a period during which his Stand-Alone SARs could have been exercised by him, or (v) the Participant’s Service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries ends due to a Termination for Cause, then, in each of the foregoing cases (i) through (v), the Participant’s Stand-Alone SARs may be exercised to the extent that, and for the period during which, Stock Options awarded to the Participant would be exercisable pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or 2.3(d), as applicable.

(e)    No Repricing of Stand-Alone SARs. The Committee may not Reprice any Stand-Alone SAR without stockholder approval. As used in this Section 3.3(e), “Reprice” means any of the following or any other action that

has the same effect at a time when its exercise price exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock: (i) amending a Stand-Alone SAR to reduce its exercise price, (ii) canceling a Stand-Alone SAR in exchange for a Stand-Alone SAR, Restricted Share, other equity award or cash, or (iii) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP, provided that nothing in this Section 3.3(e) shall prevent the Committee from making adjustments pursuant to Article VIII hereof.

Section 4.1    Grants of Restricted Shares.

The Committee may from time to time grant Restricted Shares to Eligible Persons on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and on such other terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of the Plan, as the Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time determine.

Section 4.2    Vesting.

The Committee shall establish the vesting schedule applicable to Restricted Shares granted hereunder, which vesting schedule shall specify the period of time, the increments in which a Participant shall vest in the Restricted Shares and/or any applicable Performance Goals, subject to any restrictions that the Committee shall determine and specify in the applicable Agreement.

Section 4.3    Rights and Restrictions Governing Restricted Shares.

The Participant shall have all rights of a holder as to Restricted Shares granted hereunder, including, to the extent applicable, the right to receive dividends and to vote; provided, however, that unless the Committee has determined or determines otherwise: (a) the Participant shall not be registered on the books and records of the Company as a stockholder until such shares have vested; and (b) none of the Restricted Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until such shares have vested. The Committee may make any dividend payments subject to vesting, deferral, restrictions on transfer or other conditions; any such terms and conditions applicable to dividend payments will be set forth in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any dividends declared or paid on Restricted Shares shall not vest or become payable unless and until the Restricted Shares to which the dividends apply become vested and nonforfeitable.

Section 4.4    Acceleration of Vesting and Removal of Restrictions.

Any other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee, in its discretion, may at any time accelerate the date or dates on which Restricted Shares vest. Also, the Committee may, in its discretion, remove any other restrictions on Restricted Shares whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable law, the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or other changes in circumstances arising after the Date of Grant, such action is appropriate.

Section 4.5    Delivery of Restricted Shares.

On the date on which Restricted Shares vest, all restrictions contained in the Agreement covering such Restricted Shares and in the Plan shall lapse. Restricted Shares awarded hereunder may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. If stock certificates are issued, such certificates shall be delivered to the Participant or such certificates shall be credited to a brokerage account if the Participant so directs; provided, however, that such certificates shall bear such legends as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable federal or state securities laws.

Section 4.6    Termination of Service.

Unless the Committee has determined or determines otherwise, if the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of voluntary termination by the Participant, termination by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than for Cause, Termination for Cause, the Participant’s Retirement, or the Participant’s death or Permanent Disability) prior to the date or dates on which Restricted Shares vest, the Participant shall forfeit all unvested Restricted Shares as of the date of such event.

Section 4.7    Grants of Unrestricted Shares.

The Committee may from time to time, in its discretion, make Awards of unrestricted shares of Common Stock to Eligible Persons.

Section 5.1    Grants of Restricted Share Units.

The Committee may from time to time grant Restricted Share Units to Eligible Persons on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and on such other terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of the Plan as the Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time determine. Each Restricted Share Unit shall correspond to one share of Common Stock.

Section 5.2    Vesting.

The Committee shall establish the vesting schedule applicable to Restricted Share Units granted hereunder, which vesting schedule shall specify the period of time and the increments in which a Participant shall vest in the Restricted Share Units and/or any applicable Performance Goals, subject to any restrictions that the Committee shall determine and specify in the applicable Agreement.

Section 5.3    Acceleration of Vesting.

Any other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee, in its discretion, may at any time accelerate the date or dates on which Restricted Share Units vest.

Section 5.4    Settlement of Restricted Share Units.

Upon vesting or such later date as the Committee may determine (in accordance with the requirements of, or an exemption from, Section 409A), Restricted Share Units will be settled, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock, in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to such Restricted Share Units, in other securities of the Company designated by the Committee or in a combination of cash, shares of Common Stock or such other securities. Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of Restricted Share Units may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. If stock certificates are issued, such certificates shall be delivered to the Participant or such certificates shall be credited to a brokerage account if the Participant so directs; provided, however, that such certificates shall bear such legends as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable federal or state securities laws.

Section 5.5    Termination of Service.

Unless the Committee has determined or determines otherwise, if the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason (including without limitation by reason of voluntary termination by the Participant, termination by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than for Cause, Termination for Cause, the Participant’s Retirement, or the Participant’s death or Permanent Disability) prior to the date or dates on which Restricted Share Units vest, the Participant shall forfeit all unvested Restricted Share Units as of the date of such event.

Section 6.1    Grants of Performance Awards.

The Committee may from time to time grant Awards which constitute Performance Awards to Eligible Persons on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and on such other terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of the Plan, as the Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time determine.

Section 6.2    Performance Metrics.

Unless the Committee has determined or determines otherwise, the grant, vesting, payment, settlement and/or exercisability of Performance Awards shall be conditioned, in whole or in part, on the attainment of one or more Performance Goals over a Performance Period. The relevant Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee and may relate to specified amounts, targets or objectives related to one or more of the following metrics, or to any other performance metrics (including subjective metrics) as the Committee deems appropriate (collectively, the “Performance Metrics”): OIBDA; Operating Income; Free Cash Flow; operational cash flow; Net Earnings; Net Earnings from Continuing Operations; Earnings Per Share; EBITDA; Revenue; Net Revenue; net profit; net income; funds from operations; adjusted funds from operations; total shareholder return; share price; return on equity after tax; return on equity before tax; return in excess of cost of capital; profit in excess of cost of capital; return on assets; return on invested capital; return on capital employed; net operating profit after tax; net operating profit before tax; operating margin; profit margin; economic value added; expense or cost levels; bank debt or other long-term or short-term public or private date or other similar financial obligation levels; or any combination thereof. The Performance Goals may be established in terms of objectives that are related to the individual Participant or that are Company-wide or related to a Subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit and may be measured on an absolute or cumulative basis or on the basis of percentage of improvement over time, and may be measured in terms of Company performance (or performance of the applicable Subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit) or measured relative to selected reference companies or a market index.

Section 6.3    Termination of Service.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(c) or 2.3(d), 3.3(d), 4.6 or 5.5, as applicable, the treatment of Performance Awards in the event of a Participant’s termination of Service shall be set forth in the Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the relevant Performance Awards.

Section 6.4    Discretion to Reduce Compensation.

The Committee retains the right to reduce (including to zero) any Award such that the amount of the Award is less than the maximum amount that could be paid based on the degree to which the Performance Goals related to such Award were attained.

Section 6.5    Adjustment of Calculation of Performance Goals.

With respect to any Performance Award, the Committee may make such adjustments or modifications as it deems appropriate in the calculation of the Performance Goals applicable to such Performance Award in order to reflect any recapitalization, reorganization, stock split or dividend, merger, acquisition, divestiture, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination, liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets or other similar corporate transaction or event, or to exclude the effect of any items that are either of an “unusual nature” or of a type that indicates “infrequency of occurrence” under GAAP, including, without limitation, any changes in accounting standards, and/or to reflect any other item or event determined by the Committee in its discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may also make such other adjustments or modifications as it determines in its discretion to be appropriate to reflect other extraordinary events or circumstances that occur and that have the effect, as determined by the Committee, of distorting the applicable Performance Goals. Adjustments or modifications authorized by this Section 6.5 shall be made as determined by the Committee to the extent necessary to prevent reduction or enlargement of the

Participant’s rights with respect to the Participant’s Performance Awards. All determinations that the Committee makes pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes.

Section 7.1    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.

The Committee shall have the authority to specify whether the recipient of an Award other than a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right (including, without limitation, any Award deferred pursuant to Article IX) is entitled to receive interest or dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Award, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock or otherwise reinvested and/or shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture provisions) as the related Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, reinvestment of dividends or Dividend Equivalents in additional shares of Common Stock shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of Common Stock are available under Section 1.5 for such reinvestment or payment (taking into account then-outstanding Awards). If sufficient shares of Common Stock are not available for such reinvestment or payment, such reinvestment or payment shall be made in the form of a grant of Restricted Share Units equal in number to the shares of Common Stock that would have been obtained by such payment or reinvestment, the terms of which Restricted Share Units shall provide for settlement in cash and for Dividend Equivalent reinvestment in further Restricted Share Units on the terms contemplated by this Section 7.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any dividends or Dividend Equivalents credited in respect of an Award shall not vest or become payable unless and until the Award to which the dividends or Dividend Equivalents apply becomes vested and nonforfeitable.

Section 7.2    Other Awards.

The Committee shall have the authority to grant other equity-based or equity-related awards or cash payments, which may be based on one or more criteria determined by the Committee, under the Plan that are consistent with the purpose of the Plan and the interests of the Company. Other Awards may be granted in tandem with, or independent of, Awards granted under the Plan.

Section 7.3    Substitute Awards and Adjusted Awards.

Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, (i) Substitute Awards may have substantially the same terms and conditions, including without limitation provisions relating to vesting, exercise periods, expiration, payment, forfeiture, and the consequences of termination of Service, as the awards that they replace, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and (ii) Adjusted Awards shall have substantially the same terms and conditions, including without limitation provisions relating to vesting, exercise periods, expiration, payment, forfeiture, and the consequences of termination of Service, as the awards that they replace which were granted under a CBS Stock Plan.

Section 8.1    Adjustments.

(a)    In the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, stock rights offering, liquidation, disposition for consideration of the Company’s direct or indirect ownership of a Subsidiary or Affiliate (including by reason of a Disaffiliation), or similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the Board may in its discretion make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to (i) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities reserved for issuance and delivery under this Plan, (ii) the various maximum limitations set forth in Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 with respect to certain types of Awards and upon the grants to individuals of certain types of Awards, (iii) the

number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities subject to outstanding Awards; and (iv) the exercise price of outstanding Awards.

(b)    In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, share combination, or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company, or a Disaffiliation, separation or spin-off, in each case without consideration, or other extraordinary dividend of cash or other property to the Company’s stockholders (each, a “Share Change”), the Committee or the Board shall make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to (i) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities reserved for issuance and delivery under this Plan, (ii) the various maximum limitations set forth in Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 upon certain types of Awards and upon the grants to individuals of certain types of Awards, (iii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities subject to outstanding Awards; and (iv) the exercise price of outstanding Awards.

(c)    In the case of a Corporate Transaction, such adjustments may include, without limitation, (i) the cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of a Corporate Transaction with respect to which holders of Common Stock receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the Committee or the Board that the value of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall for this purpose be deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each share of Common Stock pursuant to such Corporate Transaction over the exercise price of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall conclusively be deemed valid); (ii) the substitution of other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company) for the shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards; and (iii) in connection with any Disaffiliation, arranging for the assumption of Awards, or replacement of Awards with new awards based on other property or other securities (including, without limitation, other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company), by the affected Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division or by the entity that controls such Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division following such Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding adjustments to Awards that remain based upon Company securities).

(d)    Any adjustments made pursuant to this Article VIII to Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and any adjustments made pursuant to this Article VIII to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that either the Awards, after such adjustments, remain exempt from the application of Section 409A or will not result in the imposition of any penalty taxes under Section 409A in respect of such Awards.

Section 8.2    Change in Control in which Awards are not Assumed.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, in another agreement with the Participant, or as otherwise set forth in writing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which outstanding Awards are not being assumed, continued, or substituted for, the following provisions shall apply to such Award, to the extent not assumed, continued, or substituted for:

(a)    Immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control, in each case with the exception of Performance Awards, all outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, and Dividend Equivalents shall become vested, and all shares of Common Stock and/or cash subject to outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, and Dividend Equivalents shall be delivered; and either or both of the following two (2) actions shall be taken:

(i)    At least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled consummation of such Change in Control, all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding hereunder shall become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days. Any exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right during this fifteen (15)-day period shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the applicable Change in Control and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation thereof, and upon consummation

of such Change in Control, the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate, with or without consideration (including, without limitation, consideration in accordance with clause (ii) below) as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall send notice of an event that shall result in such a termination to all persons who hold Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights not later than the time at which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders; and/or

(ii)    The Committee may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding Awards of Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, and/or Dividend Equivalents and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the Committee acting in good faith), in the case of Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, and Dividend Equivalents (for shares of Common Stock subject thereto), equal to the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Change in Control and, in the case of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights multiplied by the amount, if any, by which (x) the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such transaction exceeds (y) the exercise price applicable to such Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

(b)    Performance Awards shall be treated as though target performance has been achieved, and such Awards shall be settled under the applicable provision of Section 8.2(a).

(c)    Other Awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Agreement.

Section 8.3    Change in Control in which Awards are Assumed.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, in another agreement with the Participant, or as otherwise set forth in writing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which outstanding Awards are being assumed, continued, or substituted for, the following provisions shall apply to such Award, to the extent assumed, continued, or substituted for:

(a)    The Plan and the Awards granted under the Plan shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided in the event of any Change in Control to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with such Change in Control for the assumption or continuation of such Awards, or for the substitution for such Awards of new stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, dividend equivalent rights, or other awards relating to the securities of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding any consideration that is not common stock) and exercise prices of options and stock appreciation rights. With respect to each outstanding Performance Award, if the Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the applicable Performance Period, then the Performance Award shall be treated as though target performance has been achieved.

(b)    In the event a Participant’s Award is assumed, continued, or substituted upon the consummation of any Change in Control and the Participant’s employment is terminated (i) due to the Participant’s death or Permanent Disability or (ii) by the Company (or its successor), other than due to a Termination for Cause, in each case within the eighteen (18)-month period following the consummation of such Change in Control (or such longer period as the Committee shall determine), the Participant’s Award will become fully vested as of such termination and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable, beginning on the date of such termination and for the one-year period immediately following such termination or for such longer period as the Committee shall determine (but in no event later than the original expiration date of the Award).

Section 8.4    Separation Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement shall not give rise to an adjustment of Awards under this Article VIII.

The Committee may establish procedures pursuant to which the payment of any Award may be deferred. To the extent an Award or any deferral of the payment of any Award constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A, the Committee shall set forth in writing (which may be in electronic form), on or before the date the applicable deferral election is required to be irrevocable in order to meet the requirements of Section 409A, the conditions under which such election may be made. The Company’s obligation to pay deferred Awards pursuant to this Article IX shall be reflected on its books as a general, unsecured and unfunded obligation, and the rights of a Participant or his or her designated beneficiary to receive payments from the Company as a result of a deferral made pursuant to this Article IX are solely those of a general, unsecured creditor. The Company shall not be required to create a trust or otherwise set aside assets in respect of its obligations hereunder, and a Participant or designated beneficiary shall have no interest whatsoever, vested or contingent, in any particular assets of the Company.

Section 10.1    No Rights to Awards or Continued Service.

Nothing in the Plan or in any Agreement, nor the grant of any Award under the Plan, shall confer upon any individual any right to be employed or engaged by or to continue in the Service of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Agreement, including the right to receive any future Awards under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or interfere with or limit the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to modify the terms of or terminate such individual’s Service at any time for any reason.

Section 10.2    Restriction on Transfer.

The rights of a Participant with respect to any Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant and shall not be transferable by the Participant to whom such Award is granted, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, provided that the Committee may permit other transferability, subject to any conditions and limitations that it may, in its discretion, impose.

Section 10.3    Foreign Awards and Rights.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to comply with securities, exchange control, labor, tax or other applicable laws, rules or regulations in countries outside of the United States in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have Employees, Consultants or directors, and/or for the purpose of taking advantage of tax favorable treatment for Awards granted to Participants in such countries, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to (i) amend or modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to a Participant; (ii) establish, adopt, interpret, or revise any rules and procedures to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable, including adoption of rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries or Participants residing in particular locations; provided, however, that no such sub-plans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 hereof or otherwise require shareholder approval; and (iii) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules, procedures and sub-plans with provisions that limit or modify rights on eligibility to receive an Award under the Plan or on termination of Service, available methods of exercise or settlement of an Award, payment of Tax-Related Items, the shifting of employer tax liability to the Participant, tax withholding procedures, restrictions on the sale of shares of Common Stock of the Company, and on the handling of any stock certificates or other indicia of ownership. The Committee may also adopt sub-plans to the Plan intended to allow the Company to grant tax-qualified Awards in a particular jurisdiction and, as part of such sub-plan, may modify Article VIII of the Plan to the extent necessary to comply with the tax requirements of the jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards

shall be granted, that would violate the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the Code, any securities law or governing statute.

Section 10.4    Taxes.

The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and right to deduct or withhold or require a Participant to remit to the Company or any Subsidiary, an amount sufficient to satisfy Tax-Related Items with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of the Plan or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, to satisfy withholding obligations for the payment of Tax-Related Items, including but not limited to (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation; (ii) withholding from the proceeds for the sale of shares of Common Stock of the Company underlying the Award either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company on the Participant’s behalf; (iii) withholding taxes through a net share settlement procedure or through a “cashless exercise” procedure as described in Section 2.4; or (iv) in the Committee’s sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement withhold shares of Common Stock of the Company otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of shares of Common Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. To avoid negative accounting treatment, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award in order to satisfy the Participant’s Tax-Related Items liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award may be limited to the number of shares of Common Stock which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable minimum withholding rates. No shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be delivered hereunder to any Participant or other person until the Participant or such other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Company for the satisfaction of the Tax-Related Items withholding obligations with respect to any taxable event concerning the Participant or such other person arising as a result of the Plan. To the extent permitted by the Committee, any Participant who makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to have his or her Award taxed in accordance with such election must give notice to the Company of such election immediately upon making a valid election in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Code. Any such election must be made in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Code.

Section 10.5    Stockholder Rights.

No Award under the Plan shall entitle a Participant or a Participant’s beneficiary, estate or permitted transferee to any rights of a holder of the shares of Common Stock of the Company subject to any Award until the Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary or estate or the permitted transferee is registered on the books and records of the Company as a stockholder with respect to such shares (or, where shares are permitted to be held in “street” name by a broker designated by a Participant or a Participant’s beneficiary, estate or permitted transferee, until such broker has been so registered).

Section 10.6    No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes.

The Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any delivery of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

Section 10.7    Source of Payments.

It is intended that this Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. Accordingly, the general funds of the Company shall be the sole source of cash settlements of Awards under the Plan and the Company shall not have any obligation to establish any separate fund or trust or other segregation of assets to provide for payments under the Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its

provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent a person acquires any rights to receive payments hereunder from the Company, such rights shall be no greater than those of an unsecured creditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under this Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments; provided, however, that unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of this Plan.

Section 10.8    Exercise Periods Following Termination of Service.

For the purposes of determining the dates on which Awards may be exercised following a termination of Service or following death or Permanent Disability of a Participant, the day following the date of such event shall be the first day of the exercise period and the Award may be exercised up to and including the last Trading Day falling within the exercise period. Thus, if the last day of the exercise period is not a Trading Day, the last date an Award may be exercised is the last Trading Day before the end of the exercise period.

Section 10.9    Breach of Agreements.

The Committee may include in any Agreement a provision authorizing the Company to recover from a Participant Awards and/or amounts realized upon exercise, payment or settlement, as the case may be, of Awards made under the Plan in such circumstances as the Committee may prescribe in its discretion.

Section 10.10    Service with Subsidiary.

Unless the Committee has determined or determines otherwise, the Service of a Participant who works for a Subsidiary shall terminate, for Plan purposes, on the date on which the Participant’s employing company ceases to be a Subsidiary.

Section 10.11    Section 409A.

The intent of the parties is that payments and the settlement of Awards under the Plan comply with Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. Each payment under any Award that constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under any Award that constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A except in accordance with Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Participant is deemed on the date of his or her “separation from service” (as determined by the Company pursuant to Section 409A) to be one of the Company’s “specified employees” (as determined by the Company pursuant to Section 409A), and any portion of the Participant’s Awards that constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A is scheduled to be paid or settled, as the case may be, upon the Participant’s separation from service or during the six-month period thereafter, then such payment or settlement, as the case may be, shall not occur prior to the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the date of the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death (the “Delay Period”). All payments and settlements delayed pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall be paid or settled, as the case may be, within 30 days following the end of the Delay Period, less any applicable withholdings, and any remaining payments and settlements regularly scheduled to occur after the end of the Delay Period shall be paid or distributed in accordance with the payment or settlement schedule specified for them. In no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of an Award that is characterized as deferred compensation under Section 409A, and pursuant to which settlement and delivery of the cash or shares of Common Stock subject to the Award is triggered based on a Change in Control, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred for purposes of such settlement and delivery of cash or shares of Common Stock if the

transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder). If an Award characterized as deferred compensation under Section 409A is not settled and delivered on account of the provision of the preceding sentence, the settlement and delivery shall occur on the next succeeding settlement and delivery triggering event that is a permissible triggering event under Section 409A. No provision of this paragraph shall in any way affect the determination of a Change in Control for purposes of vesting in an Award that is characterized as deferred compensation under Section 409A.

Section 10.12    Non-Exempt Employees.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no Option or SAR shall be granted to any Employee who is a “non-exempt employee” for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, which is first exercisable for any shares of Stock within six months following the date of grant of the Option or SAR (although the Award may vest prior to such date). The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option or SAR will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay, and the provisions of this Section 10.12 will apply to all such applicable Awards and are hereby incorporated by reference into such Agreements.

Section 10.13    Electronic Delivery.

Any reference herein to a written agreement or document will include any agreement or document delivered electronically, filed publicly at www.sec.gov (or any successor website thereto) and/or posted on a website specified by the Company that the Participant is permitted to access.

Section 10.14    Exchange Rates.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be liable to a Participant for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Participant’s Award or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award or, if applicable, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement.

Section 10.15    Third-Party Administration.

In connection with a Participant’s participation in the Plan, the Company may use the services of a third-party administrator, including a brokerage firm administrator, and the Company may provide this third-party administrator with personal information about a Participant, including his or her name, social security or other tax identification number and address, as well as the details of each Award, and this third-party administrator may provide information to the Company and its Subsidiaries concerning the exercise of a Participant’s rights and account data as it relates to the administration of Awards granted under the Plan.

Section 10.16    Registration Restrictions.

A Stock Option or Stand-Alone SAR shall not be exercisable, no transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be made to any Participant with respect to any Award, and any attempt to exercise a Stock Option or Stand-Alone SAR to transfer any such shares with respect to any Award shall be void and of no effect, unless and until (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, has been duly filed and declared effective pertaining to the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award, and the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award have been duly qualified under applicable federal or state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) the Committee, in its discretion, determines, or the Participant, upon the request of the Committee, provides an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Committee that such registration or qualification is not required. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award is required under any federal or state law or on any securities exchange or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, delivery or purchase of such shares pursuant to the exercise of an Award, such Award shall not be exercised or

settled in whole or in part unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

The Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, in whole or in part; provided, however, that no alteration or amendment will be effective without stockholder approval if such approval is required by law or under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or other principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. No alteration, amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom an Award has been made, materially adversely affect the rights of such Participant in such Award.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee shall have broad authority to amend the Plan or any outstanding Award under the Plan without the approval of the Participant to the extent the Committee deems necessary or appropriate (i) to comply with, or take into account changes in, applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations; or (ii) to avoid adverse tax consequences to any person under Section 409A with respect to any Award, even if such amendment would otherwise be detrimental to such person.

If any Participant is a Disqualified Individual, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any Other Agreement to the contrary and notwithstanding any Benefit Arrangement, any right of the Participant to any exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit under the Plan shall be reduced or eliminated:

(a)    to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Participant under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit to the Participant under the Plan to be considered a Parachute Payment; and

(b)    if, as a result of receiving such Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Participant from the Company under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Participant without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment.

Except as required by Section 409A or to the extent that Section 409A permits discretion, the Committee shall have the right, in the Committee’s sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments, or benefits under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having such rights, payments, or benefits be considered a Parachute Payment; provided, however, to the extent any payment or benefit constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A, in order to comply with Section 409A, the Company shall instead accomplish such reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Performance Awards, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Restricted Shares or Restricted Shares Units, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments, in each case with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first.

Section 13.1    Governmental Regulations.

The Plan, and all Awards hereunder, shall be subject to all applicable rules and regulations of governmental or other authorities, including, without limitation, any rules or regulations promulgated under or issued pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Section 13.2    Headings.

The headings of articles and sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.

Section 13.3    REIT Status.

To the extent that the Company is a REIT, (a) the Plan shall be interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the Company’s status as a REIT; and (b) no award shall be granted or awarded, and with respect to any award granted under the Plan, such award shall not vest, be exercisable or be settled (i) to the extent that the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement could cause the Participant or any other person to be in violation of the capital stock ownership limit or aggregate capital stock ownership limit prescribed by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, or (ii) if, in the discretion of the Committee, the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of the award could impair the Company’s status as a REIT.

Section 13.4    Governing Law.

The Plan and all rights hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

Section 14.1    Effective Date.

The Plan first became effective as of March 27, 2014 (the “Effective Date”). The terms of the Plan as amended and restated were adopted by the Board on April 15, 2019, contingent upon approval by the Company’s stockholders on June 10, 2019, the date of the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Section 14.2    Final Date for Awards.

Unless previously terminated pursuant to Article XI, the Plan shall expire at midnight on the day prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Expiration Date”), and no further Awards may be granted under the Plan on or after such date. The Expiration Date will not affect the operation of the terms of the Plan or the Company’s and Participants’ rights and obligations with respect to Awards granted on or prior to the Expiration Date.
