UGI CORPORATION
2013 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
Effective as of September 5, 2014
1.
Purpose
The purpose of the UGI Corporation 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide (i) designated employees of UGI Corporation (“UGI”) and its subsidiaries, and (ii) non-employee members of the board of directors of UGI with the opportunity to receive grants of stock options, stock units, performance units, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards and cash awards. UGI believes that by providing equity based and cash based incentive compensation, the Plan will encourage the participants to contribute materially to the growth of UGI, thereby benefiting UGI’s shareholders, and will more closely align the economic interests of the participants with those of the shareholders.
The Plan was adopted by the Board effective January 24, 2013, subject to shareholder approval of the Plan. The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective September 5, 2014 to reflect the Stock Split.

Administration
(a)    Committee. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board or its successor with respect to grants to Employees. The Compensation and Management Development Committee shall be comprised, unless otherwise determined by the Board, solely of not less than two (2) members who shall be (i) “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) (or any successor rule) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) “outside directors” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3) under Section 162(m) of the Code, and (iii) “independent directors,” as determined in accordance with the independence standards established by the stock exchange on which the Stock is at the time primarily traded. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Board, or by a committee of directors to whom the Board has delegated responsibility, with respect to grants to Non-Employee Directors. The Board or committee, as applicable, that has authority with respect to a specific Grant shall be referred to as the “Committee” with respect to that Grant. Ministerial functions may be performed by Company employees as appropriate.
(b)    Committee Authority. The Committee shall have the sole authority to (i) determine the Participants to whom Grants shall be made under the Plan, (ii) determine the type, size and terms and conditions of the Grants to be made to each such Participant, (iii) determine the time when the Grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise or restriction period, including the criteria for exercisability and the acceleration of exercisability, (iv) amend the terms and conditions of any previously issued Grant, subject to the provisions of Section 20 below, and (v) deal with any other matters arising under the Plan.
(c)    Committee Determinations. The Committee shall have full power and express discretionary authority to administer and interpret the Plan, to make factual determinations and to adopt or amend such rules, regulations, agreements and instruments for implementing the Plan and for the conduct of its business as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion. The Committee’s interpretations of the Plan and all determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having any interest in the Plan or in any awards granted hereunder. All powers of the Committee shall be executed in its sole discretion, in the best interest of the Company, not as a fiduciary, and in keeping with the objectives of the Plan and need not be uniform as to similarly situated Participants.
4.
Grants
(a)    Grants under the Plan may consist of Options as described in Section 7, Stock Units as described in Section 8, Performance Units as described in Section 9, Stock Awards as described in Section 10, Stock Appreciation Rights as described in Section 11, Dividend Equivalents as described in Section 12, Other Stock-Based Awards as described in Section 13 and Cash Awards as described in Section 14. All Grants shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate and as are specified in writing by the Committee to the Participant in the Grant Letter.
(b)    All Grants shall be made conditional upon the Participant’s acknowledgement, in writing or by acceptance of the Grant, that all decisions and determinations of the Committee shall be final and binding on the Participant, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under such Grant. Grants under a particular Section of the Plan need not be uniform as among the Participants.
(c)    The Committee may make Grants that are contingent on, and subject to, shareholder approval of the Plan or an amendment to the Plan.
5.
Shares Subject to the Plan
(a)    Shares Authorized. The total aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan is 21,750,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described below. The shares may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or reacquired shares of Stock for purposes of the Plan. Shares of Stock will be issued under this Plan with respect to Dividend Equivalents that are credited after the effective date of this Plan on Stock Units or Performance Units granted under the 2004 Plan before January 24, 2013.
(b)    Share Counting. The number of shares of Stock reserved for Grants under this Plan shall be reduced on a one-for-one basis for each share of Stock subject to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right and shall be reduced by a fixed ratio of 4.67 shares of Stock for each share of Stock subject to a Stock Unit, Performance Unit, Stock Award, Dividend Equivalent or Other Stock-Based Award granted under the Plan. For administrative purposes, when the Committee makes a Grant payable in Stock, the Committee shall reserve, and count against the share limit, shares equal to the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Grant. If and to the extent Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan terminate, expire, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised, and if and to the extent that any Stock Awards, Stock Units, Performance Units or Other Stock-Based Awards are forfeited or terminated, or otherwise are not paid in full, the shares reserved for such Grants shall again be available for purposes of the Plan. Shares of Stock surrendered in payment of the Option Price of an Option, and shares withheld or surrendered for payment of taxes, shall not be available for re-issuance under the Plan. If Stock Appreciation Rights are exercised, the full number of shares subject to the Stock Appreciation Rights shall be considered issued under the Plan, without regard to the number of shares issued upon settlement of the Stock Appreciation Rights and without regard to any cash settlement of the Stock Appreciation Rights. To the extent that other Grants are designated in the Grant Letter to be paid in cash, and not in shares of Stock, such Grants shall not count against the share limits in subsection (a). The preceding sentences of this Section shall apply only for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan, but shall not apply for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock with respect to which Grants may be granted to any Participant under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, if shares of Stock are repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise price of Options, such shares may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan.
(c)    Individual Limits. All Grants under the Plan, other than Cash Awards and Dividend Equivalents, shall be expressed in shares of Stock. The individual share limits of this subsection (c) shall apply without regard to whether the Grants are to be paid in Stock or cash. All cash payments (other than with respect to Cash Awards and Dividend Equivalents) shall equal the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock to which the cash payment relates. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which all Grants may be made under the Plan to any individual Employee during any calendar year shall be 2,250,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described below. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under the Plan to any individual Employee during any calendar year shall be 1,500,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described below. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which Stock Units, Performance Units, Stock Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards may be made under the Plan to any individual Employee during any calendar year shall be 1,500,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described below. An Employee may not accrue Dividend Equivalents during any calendar year in excess of $1,000,000. The maximum amount that may be paid to an Employee under a Cash Award for each 12 months in a performance period shall be $5,000,000.
(d)    Adjustments. If there is any change in the number or kind of shares of Stock outstanding (i) by reason of a stock dividend, spinoff, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or exchange of shares, (ii) by reason of a merger, reorganization or consolidation, (iii) by reason of a reclassification or change in par value, or (iv) by reason of any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the outstanding Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, or if the value of outstanding shares of Stock is substantially reduced as result of a spinoff or the Company’s payment of any extraordinary dividend or distribution, the maximum number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Stock for which any individual may receive Grants in any year, the kind and number of shares covered by outstanding Grants, the kind and number of shares to be issued or issuable under the Plan, and the price per share or the applicable market value of such Grants shall be required to be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change in the kind or value of, issued shares of Stock to preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under the Plan and such outstanding Grants; provided, however, than any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated. Any adjustments to outstanding Grants shall be consistent with Sections 409A and 162(m) of the Code, to the extent applicable. The adjustments of Grants under this Section 5(d) shall include adjustment of shares, Option Price, Base Amount, performance goals or other terms and conditions, as the Committee deems appropriate. Any adjustments determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.
(e)    Acquisitions. In connection with the acquisition of any business by the Company or its affiliates, any outstanding equity grants with respect to stock of the acquired company may be assumed or replaced by Grants under the Plan upon such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, which may include terms, including Option Price and Base Amount, different from those described herein. Such substitute Grants shall not reduce the Plan’s share reserve as described above in Section 5(a), consistent with applicable stock exchange requirements, and shall not be limited by the individual limits in Section 5(c).

(f)    Right to Vote and to Receive Dividends. The Committee shall determine to what extent, and under what conditions, the Participant shall have the right to vote shares of Stock Awards and to receive any dividends or other distributions paid on such shares during the restriction period; provided that any right to receive dividends with respect to performance-based Stock Awards shall vest only if and to the extent that the underlying Stock Awards vest, as determined by the Committee.
11.
Stock Appreciation Rights
(a)    General Requirements. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to an Employee or Non‑Employee Director separately or in tandem with any Option (for all or a portion of the applicable Option) upon such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate under this Section 11. Dividend Equivalents may not be granted with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights.
(b)    Number of Shares, Term and Base Amount.

(d)    Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided in the Grant Letter, a Stock Appreciation Right may only be exercised while the Participant is employed by the Company, or providing service as a Non-Employee Director. The Committee shall determine in the Grant Letter under what circumstances and during what time periods a Participant may exercise a Stock Appreciation Right after termination of employment or service.
(e)    Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. When a Participant exercises a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall receive in settlement of such Stock Appreciation Right an amount equal to the value of the Stock appreciation for the number of Stock Appreciation Rights exercised. The Stock appreciation is the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Stock on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the Base Amount of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified in the Grant Letter. The Stock appreciation amount shall be paid in shares of Company Stock, cash or any combination of the two, as the Committee shall determine in the Grant Letter. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Stock to be received, shares of Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or Grant Letter to the contrary, unless the Committee determines otherwise, if a vested Stock Appreciation Right would terminate at a time when trading in Stock is prohibited by law or by the Company’s insider trading policy, the vested Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised until the thirtieth (30th) day after expiration of such prohibition (but not beyond the end of the term of the Stock Appreciation Right).
12.Dividend Equivalents.
(a)    General Requirements. When the Committee grants Stock Units or Performance Units under the Plan, the Committee may grant Dividend Equivalents in connection with such Grants under such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate under this Section 12; provided that Dividend Equivalents with respect to Grants that are subject to performance conditions shall vest and be paid only if and to the extent the underlying Grants vest and are paid, as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents may be paid to Participants currently or may be deferred, consistent with Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Committee. All Dividend Equivalents that are not paid currently shall be credited to accounts on the Company’s records for purposes of the Plan. Dividend Equivalents may be accrued as a cash obligation, or may be converted to Stock Units for the Participant, as determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise specified in the Grant Letter, deferred Dividend Equivalents will not accrue interest. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be payable based on the achievement of specific performance goals.
(b)    Payment with Respect to Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be payable in cash or shares of Stock or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in the Grant Letter.
13.
Other Stock-Based Awards
The Committee may grant other awards that are based on, measured by or payable in Stock to Employees or Non-Employee Directors, on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate under this Section 13. Vesting of Other Stock-Based Awards shall be subject to the requirements described in Section 8(b). Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted subject to achievement of performance goals or other conditions and may be payable in Stock or cash, or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in the Grant Letter.
14.
Cash Awards    
The Committee may grant Cash Awards, which are awards that are to be settled solely in cash to Employees or Non-Employee Directors, on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. Cash Awards may be granted subject to achievement of performance goals or other conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.

15.
Qualified Performance-Based Compensation
(a)    Designation as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee may determine that Stock Units, Performance Units, Stock Awards, Dividend Equivalents, Other Stock-Based Awards or Cash Awards granted to an Employee shall be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The provisions of this Section 15 shall apply to any such Grants that are to be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.
(b)    Performance Goals. When Stock Units, Performance Units, Stock Awards, Dividend Equivalents, Other Stock-Based Awards or Cash Awards that are to be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” are granted, the Committee shall establish in writing (i) the objective performance goals that must be met, (ii) the period during which performance will be measured, (iii) the maximum amounts that may be paid if the performance goals are met, consistent with the limits of Section 5(d)(i) above, and (iv) any other conditions that the Committee deems appropriate and consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code for “qualified performance-based compensation.” The performance goals shall satisfy the requirements for “qualified performance-based compensation,” including the requirement that the achievement of the goals be substantially uncertain at the time they are established and that the performance goals be established in such a way that a third party with knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether and to what extent the performance goals have been met. The Committee shall not have discretion to increase the amount of compensation that is payable, but may reduce the amount of compensation that is payable, pursuant to Grants identified by the Committee as “qualified performance-based compensation.”
(c)    Criteria Used for Objective Performance Goals. The Committee shall use objectively determinable performance goals based on one or more of the following criteria: stock price, earnings per share, net earnings, operating earnings, margin, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), net capital employed, return on assets, shareholder return, return on equity, return on capital employed, growth in assets, unit volume, sales, cash flow, market share, relative performance to a comparison group designated by the Committee, or strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue goals, market penetration goals, customer growth, geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, other operational targets, or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures. The performance goals may relate to the Participant’s business unit or the performance of the Company as a whole, or any combination of the foregoing. Performance goals need not be uniform as among Participants.
(d)    Timing of Establishment of Goals. The Committee shall establish the performance goals in writing either before the beginning of the performance period or during a period ending no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the beginning of the performance period or (ii) the date on which 25% of the performance period has been completed, or such other date as may be required or permitted under applicable regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code.
(e)    Certification of Results. The Committee shall certify the performance results for the performance period specified in the Grant Letter after the performance period expires. The Committee shall determine the amount, if any, to be paid pursuant to each Grant based on the achievement of the performance goals and the satisfaction of all other terms of the Grant Letter.
(f)    Impact of Extraordinary Items or Changes in Accounting. To the extent applicable, subject to the following sentence and unless the Committee determines otherwise, the determination of the achievement of performance goals shall be based on the relevant financial measure, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and in a manner consistent with the methods used in the Company’s audited financial statements. To the extent permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, in setting the performance goals for “qualified performance-based compensation” within the period prescribed in subsection (d), the Committee may provide for adjustment as it deems appropriate, including for one or more of the following items: asset write-downs; litigation or claim judgments or settlements; changes in accounting principles; changes in tax law or other laws affecting reported results; changes in commodity prices; severance, contract termination, and other costs related to exiting, modifying or reducing any business activities; costs of, and gains and losses from, the acquisition, disposition, or abandonment of businesses or assets; gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt; gains and losses in connection with the termination or withdrawal from a pension plan; stock compensation costs and other non-cash expenses; any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in applicable Accounting Principles Board opinions or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; and any other specified non-operating items as determined by the Committee in setting performance goals.
(g)    Death, Disability or Other Circumstances. The Committee may provide in the Grant Letter that Grants identified as “qualified performance-based compensation” shall be payable, in whole or in part, in the event of the Participant’s death or disability, a Change of Control or under other circumstances consistent with the Treasury regulations and rulings under Section 162(m) of the Code.
16.
Withholding of Taxes
(a)    Required Withholding. All Grants under the Plan shall be subject to applicable federal (including FICA), state and local tax withholding requirements. The Company may require that the Participant or other person receiving or exercising Grants pay to the Company the amount of any federal, state or local taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such Grants, or the Company may deduct from other wages paid by the Company the amount of any withholding taxes due with respect to such Grants.
(b)    Withholding of Shares. The Committee may determine that the Company’s tax withholding obligation with respect to Grants paid in Stock shall be satisfied by having shares of Stock withheld, at the time such Grants become taxable, up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities, or the Committee may allow Participants to elect to have such share withholding applied to particular Grants.
17.
Transferability of Grants
Only the Participant may exercise rights under a Grant during the Participant’s lifetime, and a Participant may not transfer those rights except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. When a Participant dies, the personal representative or other person entitled to succeed to the rights of the Participant may exercise such rights. Any such successor must furnish proof satisfactory to the Company of his or her right to receive the Grant under the Participant’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
18.
Consequences of a Change of Control
(a)    Assumption of Grants. Upon a Change of Control where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation), unless the Grant Letter provides otherwise, or the Committee determines otherwise, all outstanding Grants that are not exercised or paid at the time of the Change of Control shall be assumed by, or replaced with Grants that have comparable terms by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation).
(b)    Other Alternatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take any of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding Grants, without the consent of any Participant: (i) the Committee may determine that outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall automatically accelerate and become fully exercisable, and the restrictions and conditions on outstanding Stock Awards shall immediately lapse; (ii) the Committee may determine that Participants shall receive a payment in settlement of outstanding Stock Units, Performance Units, Dividend Equivalents, Other Stock-Based Awards or Cash Awards, in such amount and form as may be determined by the Committee; (iii) the Committee may require that Participants surrender their outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Participant’s unexercised Options and Stock Appreciation Rights exceeds the Option Price or Base Amount, and (iv) after giving Participants an opportunity to exercise all of their outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Committee may terminate any or all unexercised Options and Stock Appreciation Rights at such time as the Committee deems appropriate. Such surrender, termination or payment shall take place as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as the Committee may specify. Without limiting the foregoing, if the per share Fair Market Value of the Stock does not exceed the per share Option Price or Base Amount, as applicable, the Company shall not be required to make any payment to the Participant upon surrender of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right.
(c)    Other Transactions. The Committee may provide in a Grant Letter that a sale or other transaction involving a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company shall be considered a Change of Control for purposes of a Grant, or the Committee may establish other provisions that shall be applicable in the event of a specified transaction.
19.
Requirements for Issuance of Shares
No Stock shall be issued in connection with any Grant hereunder unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance of such Stock have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to condition any Grant made to any Participant hereunder on such Participant’s undertaking in writing to comply with such restrictions on his or her subsequent disposition of such shares of Stock as the Committee shall deem necessary or advisable, and Certificates representing such shares may be legended to reflect any such restrictions. Certificates representing shares of Stock issued under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as may be required by applicable laws, regulations and interpretations, including any requirement that a legend be placed thereon. No Participant shall have any right as a shareholder with respect to Stock covered by a Grant until shares have been issued to the Participant.
20.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan
(a)    Amendment. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that the Board shall not amend the Plan without approval of the shareholders of UGI if such approval is required in order to comply with the Code or applicable laws, or to comply with applicable stock exchange requirements. No amendment or termination of this Plan shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair any rights or obligations under any Grant previously made to the Participant under the Plan, unless such right has been reserved in the Plan or the Grant Letter, or except as provided in Section 21(d) below.
(b)    No Repricing. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Grants may not be amended to reduce the Option Price of outstanding Options or the Base Amount of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an Option Price or Base Amount, as applicable, that is less than the Option Price or Base Amount, as applicable, of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights without shareholder approval.
(c)    Shareholder Approval for “Qualified Performance-Based Compensation.” If Stock Units, Performance Units, Stock Awards, Dividend Equivalents, Other Stock-Based Awards or Cash Awards are granted as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 15 above, the Plan must be reapproved by the UGI shareholders no later than the first shareholders meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which the shareholders previously approved the provisions of Section 15, if additional Grants are to be made under Section 15 and if required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder.
(d)    Termination of Plan. The Plan shall terminate on January 23, 2023, unless the Plan is terminated earlier by the Board or is extended by the Board with the approval of the shareholders. The termination of the Plan shall not impair the power and authority of the Committee with respect to an outstanding Grant, nor shall it adversely affect outstanding Grants.
21.
Miscellaneous
(a)    Grants in Connection with Corporate Transactions and Otherwise. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed to (i) limit the right of the Committee to make Grants under this Plan in connection with the acquisition, by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business or assets of any corporation, firm or association, including Grants to employees thereof who become Employees, or for other proper corporate purposes, or (ii) limit the right of the Company to grant stock options or make other stock-based awards outside of this Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may make a Grant to an employee of another corporation who becomes an Employee by reason of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or property, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company in substitution for a grant made by such corporation. The terms and conditions of the Grants may vary from the terms and conditions required by the Plan and from those of the substituted stock incentives, as determined by the Committee.
(b)    Reduction of Responsibilities. The Committee shall have discretion to adjust an Employee’s outstanding Grants if the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities are significantly reduced.
(c)    Company Policies. All Grants made under the Plan shall be subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies and other policies that may be implemented by the Board from time to time.
(d)    Compliance with Law. The Plan, the exercise of Options and the obligations of the Company to issue or transfer shares of Stock under Grants shall be subject to all applicable laws and to approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that the Plan and all transactions under the Plan comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. In addition, it is the intent of the Company that Grants made under Section 15 of the Plan comply with the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code. To the extent that any legal requirement of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code as set forth in the Plan ceases to be required under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, that Plan provision shall cease to apply. The Committee may revoke any Grant if it is contrary to law or modify a Grant to bring it into compliance with any valid and mandatory government regulation. The Committee may also adopt rules regarding the withholding of taxes on payments to Participants. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, agree to limit its authority under this Section.
(e)    Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. All Grants shall be construed and administered such that the Grant either (i) qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or (ii) satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. If a Grant is subject to Section 409A of the Code, (i) distributions shall only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under Section 409A of the Code, (ii) payments to be made upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code, (iii) payments to be made upon a Change of Control shall only be made upon a “change of control event” under Section 409A of the Code, (iv) unless the Grant specifies otherwise, each payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and (v) in no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year in which a distribution is made except in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Any Grant granted under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code and that is to be distributed to a key employee (as defined below) upon separation from service shall be administered so that any distribution with respect to such Grant shall be postponed for six months following the date of the Participant’s separation from service, if required by Section 409A of the Code. If a distribution is delayed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, the distribution shall be paid within 30 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Participant dies during such six-month period, any postponed amounts shall be paid within 90 days of the Participant’s death. The determination of key employees, including the number and identity of persons considered key employees and the identification date, shall be made by the Committee or its delegate each year in accordance with Section 416(i) of the Code and the “specified employee” requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
(f)    Enforceability. The Plan shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Company and its successors and assigns.
(g)    Funding of the Plan; Limitation on Rights. This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Grants under this Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant hereto shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or any other person. No Participant or any other person shall under any circumstances acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payment from the Company hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
(h)    Rights of Participants. Nothing in this Plan shall entitle any Employee, Non-Employee Director or other person to any claim or right to receive a Grant under this Plan. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any rights to be retained by or in the employment or service of the Company.
(i)    No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Grant. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
(j)    Employees Subject to Taxation Outside the United States. With respect to Participants who are subject to taxation in countries other than the United States, the Committee may make Grants on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate to comply with the laws of the applicable countries, and the Committee may create such procedures, addenda and subplans and make such modifications as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such laws.
(k)    Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of the Plan and Grant Letters issued under the Plan shall be governed and construed by and determined in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.
