Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Founder and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board

On October 31, 2016, we entered into a first amended and restated employment agreement (the “ First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement ”) with our Founder and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, Hoyoung Huh, amending the Employment Agreement between the Company and Dr. Huh dated January 1, 2015 (the “ Employment Agreement ”).  The First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement removes the Transaction Related Bonuses from his employment agreement.
 
The foregoing description of the First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) The information set forth in Item 1.01 under the caption “ AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS ” of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02(e).

Stock Option Plan

On October 31, 2016, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “ Plan ”).  The following is a summary of the Plan.

The Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan on October 31, 2016.  The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of the Company by aiding the Company in attracting and retaining employees, officers, consultants, advisors and non-employee directors capable of assuring the future success of the Company, to offer such persons incentives to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the Company’s business and to compensate such persons through various stock based arrangements and provide them with opportunities for stock ownership in the Company, thereby aligning the interests of such persons with the Company’s stockholders.  
 
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under all awards under the Plan is 35,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  Any employee, officer, non-employee director, consultant, independent contractor or advisor to the Company or any affiliate of the Company shall be eligible to be designated as a participant.   The Board may grant awards in the form of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  With regard to each such option, the Board will determine the number of shares subject to the option, the manner and time of the exercise of the option, and the exercise price per share of stock subject to the option; provided however, that the exercise price of any stock option may not be less than the greater of 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date the option is granted,  provided, however, that the Committee may designate a purchase price below fair market value on the date of grant if the option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company. The term of each option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time but shall not be longer than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

The foregoing description of the Plan is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.





In connection with the adoption of the plan, on October 31, 2016, the Board of Directors issued the following Plan awards to certain of the Company’s “named executive officers” and directors:

THIS FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of October 31, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) by and between AntriaBio, Inc. a Delaware corporation, having an address of 1450 Infinite Drive, Louisville, CO 80027 (“AntriaBio” or the “Company”), and Dr. Hoyoung Huh (“Executive”).

In consideration of the mutual promises, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.
Employment . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby offers and Executive hereby accepts employment.

2.
Term . The Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Term of this Agreement is hereafter referred to as “the term of this Agreement” or “the term hereof.”

3.
Capacity and Performance .
 
During the term hereof, Executive shall serve as Founder and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board (the “Position”). In addition, during the term of this Agreement the Company will recommend to its stockholders that Executive be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at each meeting of stockholders or in connection with each action by written consent pursuant to which Executive may be elected. Executive shall report directly to the Board. Executive shall have all powers and duties consistent with his position, subject to the direction and control of the Board and shall perform such other duties and responsibilities on behalf of the Company as may reasonably be designated from time to time by the Board.  Executive’s duties shall not include the day-to-day operations of the Company which shall remain under the control and direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive shall require the approval of the Board to pursue or enter into any transaction or group of related transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business and would be material to the Company. Executive shall devote sufficient time and his best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge to the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. Executive shall comply with all written policies of the Company in effect from time to time and shall observe and implement those resolutions and directives of the Board as made or issued from time to time. Executive agrees that under no circumstances shall he undertake any other form of employment or consulting that would conflict with the interests of the Company.

 

4.
Compensation and Benefits . As compensation for all services performed by Executive hereunder during the term hereof, and subject to performance of the Executive’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement:

(a)
Base Salary and Initial Bonus . The Company shall pay Executive a base salary of Two Hundred and Sixteen Thousand Dollars ($216,000) per annum, beginning on the Effective Date (the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company for its executives, but no less than once per each month.

(b)
Annual Bonus . During the term hereof, Executive shall have the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus with a target equal to 200% of the Executive’s salary (“Target Bonus”) based upon performance criteria set by the Board in its sole discretion on an annual basis. By way of example, if Executive’s annualized Base Salary is $216,000, then Executive’s target bonus shall be equal to $432,000. It is understood and agreed that notwithstanding the Target Bonus, there shall be no minimum or maximum with respect to any potential annual bonus. The Board shall conduct a performance review of Executive at least once a year on or prior to February 1 of each year, commencing in 2016. The Company may, from time to time, pay such other bonus or bonuses to Executive as the Board or a compensation committee of the Board, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. In order to receive the annual performance bonus, Executive must continue to be employed by the Company through the end of the period with respect to which the annual performance bonus has been earned. The annual performance bonus will be paid to Executive at such time as bonuses for the applicable period are regularly paid to senior executives of the Company; provided, however, in no event will the annual performance bonus be paid later than February 28 of the following calendar year.

(d)
Equity Incentives . Executive has been previously issued options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price and such options shall remain in full force and effect.  Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s equity incentive plans, if any, and any options or restricted stock granted under such plan shall be deemed to be Stock Options for purpose of this Agreement.  In addition, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Restricted Stock Unit Plan, if any.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the Company’s ability to amend, suspend, or terminate any equity incentive plan at any time without providing Executive notice, and the right to do so is expressly reserved.

(e)
Vacations . During the term hereof, Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation per annum, to be taken at such times and intervals as shall be determined by Executive and subject to the reasonable business
 

needs of the Company. Vacation time shall not cumulate from year to year.
(f)

Such participation shall be subject to (i) the terms of the applicable plan documents, (ii) generally applicable Company policies and (iii) the discretion of the Board or any administrative or other committee provided for in or contemplated by such plan. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the Company’s ability to amend, suspend, or terminate any employee benefit plan or policy at any time without providing Executive notice, and the right to do so is expressly reserved.
(g)
Business Expenses . The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by Executive in the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, subject to any maximum annual limit and other restrictions on such expenses set by the Board for senior executives of the Company, and to such reasonable substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Company from time to time.

Tax Matters .

(a)
In the event of an event constituting a change in the ownership or effective control of Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Company described in Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) (a


“280G Transaction “), Company shall cause its independent auditors or another person or entity approved by the Company and Executive promptly to review all payments, accelerations, distributions and benefits that have been made to or provided to, and are to be made, or may be made, to or provided to, Executive under this Agreement, the 2012 Plan and any other arrangements providing for payments or benefits contingent on the occurrence of a 280G Transaction (irrespective of whether such payments or benefits are then payable to Executive at that time), and any other agreement or plan under which Executive may individually or collectively benefit (collectively the “Original Payments”), to determine the applicability of Code Section 4999 to Executive in connection with such event. Company’s independent auditors or such other approved party will perform this analysis in conformity with the foregoing provisions and will provide Executive with a copy of their analysis and determination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Original Payments would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), the Original Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that no Original Payment shall be subject to the Excise Tax, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by Executive shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by him if no such reduction was made. For purposes of this Agreement, “net after-tax benefit” shall mean (a) the Original Payments which Executive receives or is then entitled to receive from Company that would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, less (b) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to Executive (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (c) the amount of the Excise Tax imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (a) above. If a reduction is to occur pursuant to this Section 24(a), the payments and benefits shall be reduced in the following order: any cash severance to which Executive becomes entitled (starting with the last payment due), then other cash amounts that are parachute payments (starting with the last payment due), then any stock option awards that have exercise prices higher than the then-fair market value price of the stock (based on the latest vesting tranches), then restricted stock and restricted stock units based on the latest awards scheduled to be distributed, and then other stock options based on the latest vesting tranches. The fees and expenses of Company’s auditor or any other party for services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by this provision will be borne by Company.
 

(b)
The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“ Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If Executive notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that he believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of any compensation or benefits) would cause him to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consultation with the Executive, to the extent legally permitted and to the extent it is possible to timely reform the provision to avoid taxation under Code Section 409A, reform such provision to attempt to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to both Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.
 
(a)   For purposes of the application of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision), each payment in a series of payments will be deemed a separate payment.

(b)   If the termination of employment giving rise to the severance benefits described in Sections 5 or 6 is not a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A- 1(h)(1), then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Code Section 409A, such benefits will be deferred without interest until Executive’ experiences a separation from service.
 
If at the time of Executive’s separation from service, (i) he is a specified employee (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time), and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable to Executive constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Code Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A (the “ Delay Period “), then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it in a lump sum on the first business day after such six-month period. To the extent that any benefits to be provided during the Delay Period is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A provided on account of a “separation from service,” and such benefits are not otherwise exempt from Code Section 409A, Executive shall pay the cost of such benefits during the Delay Period, and the Company shall reimburse Executive, to the extent that such costs would otherwise have been paid by the Company or to the extent that such benefits would otherwise have been provided by the Company at no cost to Executive, the Company’s share of the cost of such benefits upon expiration of the Delay Period, and any remaining benefits shall be reimbursed or provided by the Company in accordance with the procedures specified herein.

(c)   To the extent an expense or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A (1) the expenses will be reimbursed to Executive as promptly as practical and in any event not later than the last day of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred, (2) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any other calendar year, (3) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.




IN WITNESS WHEREOF , this Amended and Restated Agreement has been executed by Executive and the Company, as approved by the Board of Directors, by its duly authorized representative, as of the date first above written.

(c)   Power and Authority of the Board .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, at any time and from time to time, without any further action of the Committee, exercise all the powers and duties of the Committee under the Plan.

(b)   Counting Shares .  For purposes of this Section 4, if an Award entitles the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares, the number of Shares covered by such Award or to which such Award relates shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan.  For purposes of determining the number of Shares covered on the date of grant by an Option, the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which the Option  is to be exercised shall be counted against the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan (without regard to the number of actual Shares issued upon exercise or settlement).
If any Shares covered by an Award or to which an Award relates are not purchased or are forfeited or are reacquired by the Company, or if an Award otherwise terminates or is cancelled without delivery of any Shares, then the number of Shares counted pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Plan against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, reacquisition by the Company, termination or cancellation, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, the following Shares will not again become available for issuance under the Plan: (i) any Shares which would have been issued upon any exercise of an Option but for the fact that the exercise price was paid by a “net exercise” pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii)(B) or any Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (ii) any Shares withheld by the Company or Shares tendered to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Option; or (iii) Shares that are repurchased by the Company using Option exercise proceeds.

Section 5.   Eligibility
Any Eligible Person shall be eligible to be designated as a Participant.  In determining which Eligible Persons shall receive an Award and the terms of any Award, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by the respective Eligible Persons, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company or such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion, shall deem relevant.

(A)
Promissory Notes .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not accept a promissory note as consideration.
(B)
Net Exercises .  The Committee may, in its discretion, permit an Option to be exercised by delivering to the Participant a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of exercise) equal to the excess, if positive, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option being exercised on the date of exercise, over the exercise price of the Option for such Shares.
(b)   General .
(i)
Consideration for Awards .  Awards may be granted for no cash consideration or for any cash or other consideration as may be determined by the Committee or required by applicable law.

(iv)
Limitation on Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors .  No Director who is not also an employee of the Company or an Affiliate may be granted any Award or Awards denominated in Shares that exceed $200,000 value in the aggregate in any calendar year (determined based upon the Black Scholes valuation method).
(v)
Limits on Transfer of Awards .  Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it determines, no Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted Shares issued pursuant to any Award) and no right under any such Award shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and no Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted Shares issued pursuant to any Award) or right under any such Award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.  The Committee may establish procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a person or persons, as beneficiary or beneficiaries, to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any Award in the event of the Participant’s death.
(vi)
Restrictions; Securities Exchange Listing .  All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, applicable federal or state securities laws and regulatory requirements, and the Committee may cause appropriate entries to be made with respect to, or legends to be placed on the certificates for, such Shares or other securities to reflect such restrictions.  The Company shall

Prohibition on Option Repricing . Except as provided in Section 4(c) hereof, the Committee may not, without prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, seek to effect any re-pricing of any previously granted, “underwater” Option by:  (i) amending or modifying the terms of the Option to lower the exercise price; (ii) canceling the underwater Option  and granting either (A) replacement Options having a lower exercise price; or (B) Shares in exchange; or (iii) repurchasing the underwater Option.  An Option will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Option is less than the exercise price.
(viii)
Acceleration of   Vesting or Exercisability .  No Award Agreement shall accelerate the exercisability of any Award or the lapse of restrictions relating to any Award in connection with a change-in-control event unless such acceleration occurs upon the consummation of (or effective immediately prior to the consummation of, provided that the consummation subsequently occurs) such change-in-control event.
Section 7.   Amendment and Termination; Corrections
(a)   Amendments to the Plan and Awards .  The Board may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate this Plan, and the Committee may amend the terms of any previously granted Award, provided that no amendment to the terms of any previously granted Award may, (except as expressly provided in the Plan) adversely alter or impair the terms or conditions of the Award previously granted to a Participant under this Plan without the written consent of the Participant or holder thereof.  Any amendment to this Plan, or to the terms of any Award previously granted, is subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of any applicable governmental entity or securities exchange, including receipt of any required approval from the governmental entity or stock exchange.  For greater certainty and without limiting the foregoing, the Board may amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Plan, and the Committee may amend or alter any previously granted Award, as applicable, without obtaining the approval of stockholders of the Company in order to:

otherwise waive any conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively;
(iii)
make changes that are necessary or desirable to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of any applicable governmental entity or stock exchange (including amendments to Awards necessary or desirable to avoid any adverse tax results under Section 409A, and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely alter or impair the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof); or
(iv)
amend any terms relating to the administration of the Plan, including the terms of any administrative guidelines or other rules related to the Plan.
For greater certainty, prior approval of the stockholders of the Company shall be required for any amendment to the Plan or an Award that would:
(i)
require stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other securities exchange that are applicable to the Company;
(ii)
increase the number of shares authorized under the Plan as specified in Section 4(a) of the Plan;

(i)
either (A) termination of any the Award, whether or not vested, in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of the Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if, as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 7(b)(i)(A), the Committee or the Board determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of the Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then the Award may be terminated by the Company without any payment) or (B) the replacement of the Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion;
(ii)
that the Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;
(iii)
that the Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable Award Agreement; or

Section 8.   Income Tax Withholding
In order to comply with all applicable federal, state, local or foreign income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, state, local or foreign payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of a Participant, are withheld or collected from such Participant.  In order to assist a Participant in paying all or a portion of the applicable taxes to be withheld or collected upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) an Award, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy such tax obligation by (a) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes (but only to the extent necessary to satisfy minimum statutory withholding requirements) or (b) delivering to the Company Shares other than Shares issuable upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal
-9-

to the amount of such taxes.  The election, if any, must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.
Section 9.   General Provisions
(a)   No Rights to Awards .  No Eligible Person, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan.  The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants.
(b)   Award Agreements .  No Participant shall have rights under an Award granted to such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been signed by the Participant (if requested by the Company), or until such Award Agreement is delivered and accepted through an electronic medium in accordance with procedures established by the Company.  An Award Agreement need not be signed by a representative of the Company unless required by the Committee.  Each Award Agreement shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and any other terms and conditions (not inconsistent with the Plan) determined by the Committee.
(c)   Plan Provisions Control .  In the event that any provision of an Award Agreement conflicts with or is inconsistent in any respect with the terms of the Plan as set forth herein or subsequently amended, the terms of the Plan shall control.
(d)   No Rights of Stockholders .  Neither a Participant nor the Participant’s legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise or payment of any Award, in whole or in part, unless and until such Shares have been issued.
(e)   No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements .  Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans or arrangements, and such plans or arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
(f)   No Right to Employment .  The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliate, nor will it affect in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate a Participant’s employment at any time, with or without cause, in accordance with applicable law.  In addition, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or any Award, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.  Nothing in this Plan shall confer on any person any legal or equitable right against the Company or any Affiliate, directly or indirectly, or give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the Company or an Affiliate.  Under no circumstances shall any person ceasing to be an employee of the Company or any Affiliate be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or benefit under the Plan which such employee might otherwise have enjoyed but for termination of employment, whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful or unfair dismissal,
-10-

breach of contract or otherwise.  By participating in the Plan, each Participant shall be deemed to have accepted all the conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of any rules and regulations adopted by the Committee and shall be fully bound thereby.
(g)   Governing Law .  The internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the validity, construction and effect of the Plan or any Award, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award.
(h)   Severability .  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
(i)   No Trust or Fund Created .  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other person.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.
(j)   Other Benefits .  No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any Participant under the Plan shall be included for the purpose of computing such Participant’s compensation or benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, disability, severance, termination pay, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company, unless required by law or otherwise provided by such other plan.
(k)   No Fractional Shares .  No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional Share or whether such fractional Share or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.
(l)   Headings .  Headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.  Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.
