EXPLANATORY NOTE
On January 2, 2017, Delek US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as Delek US Energy, Inc.) (“ Old Delek ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Alon USA Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Alon ”), Delek Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as Delek US Holdings, Inc.) (the “ Registrant ”), Dione Mergeco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“ Delek Merger Sub ”), and Astro Mergeco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“ Astro Merger Sub ”), as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 27, 2017, and the Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 21, 2017 (collectively, the “ Merger Agreement ”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Certificates of Amendment and Certificates of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 30, 2017, (i) Old Delek was renamed “Delek US Energy, Inc.” and the Registrant was renamed “Delek US Holdings, Inc.”; (ii) Delek Merger Sub merged with and into Old Delek (the “ Delek Merger ”), with Old Delek surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant; and (iii) Astro Merger Sub merged with and into Alon (the “ Alon Merger ” and together with the Delek Merger, the “ Mergers ”), with Alon surviving as a direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. The Mergers were effective as of July 1, 2017 (the “ Effective Time ”).
The Mergers and the Merger Agreement were previously described in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-216298) filed by the Registrant (as amended, the “ Registration Statement ”) and the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus of Old Delek and Alon, dated May 30, 2017, that forms a part of the Registration Statement.
By reason of the Mergers, at the Effective Time, the Registrant became the parent public reporting company. On July 3, 2017, the Registrant filed a Current Report on Form 8-K filed for the purpose of establishing the Registrant as the successor issuer to Old Delek and Alon pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement:
(a)    At the Effective Time of the Alon Merger, each existing restricted stock award that was outstanding under the Alon USA Energy, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ Alon 2005 Plan ”) immediately before such Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was automatically and without any required action on the part of any holder or beneficiary thereof, assumed by the Registrant and converted into a restricted stock award denominated in shares of Common Stock (each, a “ Converted Alon Restricted Stock Award ”). Each Converted Alon Restricted Stock Award continues to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such award immediately before the Effective Time of the Alon Merger (including vesting conditions, accumulated dividends and other dividend rights), except that each Converted Alon Restricted Stock Award covers that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (A) the number of shares of Alon common stock underlying such award and (B) the exchange ratio of 0.504 shares of Common Stock for each share of Alon common stock underlying such award.
(b)    At the Effective Time of the Delek Merger, each existing restricted stock award that was outstanding under the Delek US Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “ 2006 LTIP ”) or the Delek US Holdings, Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “ 2016 LTIP ”) immediately before such Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was automatically and without any required action on the part of any holder or beneficiary thereof, assumed by the Registrant and converted into a restricted stock award denominated in shares of Common Stock (each, a “ Converted Old Delek Restricted Stock Award ”). Each Converted Old Delek Restricted Stock Award continues to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such award immediately before the Effective Time of the Delek Merger (including vesting conditions, accumulated dividends and other dividend rights), and each Converted Old Delek Restricted Stock Award covers that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Old Delek common stock underlying such award.



(c)    At the Effective Time of the Delek Merger, each Old Delek stock option that was outstanding under the 2006 LTIP immediately before such Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was automatically and without any required action on the part of any holder or beneficiary thereof, assumed by the Registrant and converted into an option to purchase shares of Common Stock (each, a “ Converted Option ”). Each Converted Option continues to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Old Delek stock option immediately before the Effective Time of the Delek Merger (including expiration date, vesting conditions and exercise provisions), and each Converted Option shall be exercisable for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Old Delek common stock subject to the Old Delek stock option immediately before the Effective Time of the Delek Merger;  provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under each Converted Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D));  provided, further, that in the case of any Old Delek stock option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under such Converted Option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.
(d)    At the Effective Time of the Delek Merger, each Old Delek stock appreciation right that was outstanding under the 2006 LTIP or the 2016 LTIP immediately before the Effective Time of the Delek Merger, whether vested or unvested, was automatically and without any required action on the part of any holder or beneficiary thereof, assumed by the Registrant and converted into an appreciation right to purchase shares of Common Stock (each, a “ Converted SAR ”). Each Converted SAR continues to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Old Delek stock appreciation right immediately before the Effective Time of the Delek Merger (including expiration date, vesting conditions and exercise provisions), and each Converted SAR is exercisable for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Old Delek common stock subject to such Old Delek stock appreciation right immediately before the Effective Time of the Delek Merger;  provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under each Converted SAR shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D)).
As of the Effective Time, the Registrant assumed each of the Alon 2005 Plan, the 2006 LTIP and the 2016 LTIP with such amendments as were required to effectuate the foregoing conversions in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware General Corporation Law
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Subsection (d) of Section 145 of the DGCL provides that any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be



indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145 of the DGCL; that any indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 of the DGCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; that any indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators; and that the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.
Certificate of Incorporation
The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for the breach of any fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Bylaws
The Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify any director or officer of the corporation, and may indemnify any other person, who (a) was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful, and (b) was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
These descriptions of director liability and indemnification provisions are intended as a summary only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, each of which has been filed with the SEC.

Item 9.    Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the



estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b), in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum  aggregate offering price  set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of this issue.

Exhibit 4.4

DELEK US HOLDINGS, INC.
2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

(As Amended through May 4, 2010)
(As Amended under the Assumption and Amendment Agreement, effective as of July 1, 2017)

1. Purpose . The purpose of the Delek US Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to establish a flexible vehicle through which Delek US Holdings, Inc. (formerly Delek Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation) (the “Company”), can attract, motivate, reward and retain key personnel of the Company and its affiliates through the grant of equity-based and/or cash incentive awards (“Awards”). Awards under the Plan may be in the form of: (a) options (“Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”) granted pursuant to Section 5(b), including Options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Options which do not qualify as ISOs, (b) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) granted pursuant to Section 5(c), (c) restricted shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) granted pursuant to Section 5(d), (d) restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) granted pursuant to Section 5(e), and/or (e) other stock-based awards (“Other Stock-Based Awards”) or cash incentive awards (“Cash Incentive Awards”) granted pursuant to Section 5(f).
2.      Eligibility . Awards under the Plan may be made to such directors, officers, employees, consultants and other individuals (including, advisory board members) who may perform services for the Company or its affiliates, as the Committee may select.
3.      Available Shares and Other Limitations . Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7, the Company may issue an aggregate of 5,053,392 shares of Common Stock under the Plan, exclusive of (a) shares covered by the unexercised portion of an Award that terminates, expires, is canceled or is settled in cash, (b) shares forfeited or repurchased under the Plan, and (c) shares withheld or surrendered in order to pay the exercise or purchase price under an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations associated with the exercise, vesting or settlement of an Award. No more than 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to Awards granted in a single calendar year to any individual participant. No participant may earn a cash incentive Award under the Plan for any calendar year in excess of an amount equal to $5,000,000.
4.      Administration .
(a)      Committee . The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or such other committee comprised of at least two (2) members of the Board appointed by the Board from time to time (the “Committee”), provided that, the Board will have sole responsibility and authority for matters relating to the grant and administration of Awards to any member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board may perform any function of the Committee hereunder, in which case the term “Committee” shall refer to the Board. If a committee other than the Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board to serve as the Committee, then, unless the Board determines otherwise, the member of such other committee shall consist of individuals who are “non-employee directors” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and as “outside directors” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3)). The Board may prescribe that a committee described in the preceding sentence shall have limited authority under the Plan, including, for example, authority to grant to certain executives and administer awards which are made pursuant to Section 7 hereof and which are intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exemption from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.
(b)      Responsibility and Authority of Committee . Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, acting in its discretion, will have responsibility and full power and authority to: i. select the persons to whom Awards will be made, ii. prescribe the terms and conditions of each Award and make amendments thereto, iii. construe, interpret and apply the provisions of the Plan and of any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under the Plan, and iv. make any and all determinations and take any and all other actions as it deems necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms of the Plan. In exercising its responsibilities under the Plan, the Committee may obtain at the Company’s expense such advice, guidance and other assistance from outside compensation consultants and other professional advisers as it deems appropriate.





(c)      Delegation of Authority . Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee may delegate to any person or group or subcommittee of persons (who may, but need not be, members of the Committee) such Plan-related functions within the scope of its responsibility, power and authority as it deems appropriate. Reference herein to the Committee with respect to functions delegated to another person, group or subcommittee will be deemed to refer to such person, group or subcommittee.
(d)      Committee Actions . A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The Committee may act by the vote of a majority of its members present at a meeting at which there is a quorum or by unanimous written consent. The Committee shall keep a record of its proceedings and acts and shall keep or cause to be kept such books and records as may be necessary in connection with the proper administration of the Plan.
(e)      Indemnification . The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and the Board and any employee or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan is delegated from and against any loss, cost, liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Board), damage and expense (including reasonable legal and other expenses incident thereto) arising out of or incurred in connection with the Plan, unless and except to the extent attributable to such person’s fraud or willful misconduct.
5.      Specific Terms of Awards .
(a)      General . Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including terms requiring forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of employment or other service by the participant. The Committee shall require the payment of lawful consideration for an Award to the extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and may otherwise require payment of consideration for an Award except as limited by the Plan.
(b)      Options . The Committee is authorized to grant Options to participants on the following terms and conditions:
(i)      Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee, provided that such exercise price shall not be less than the “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by applicable law, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of any given date shall be the closing sale price per share of Common Stock reported on a consolidated basis for securities listed on the principal stock exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded on the date as of which such value is being determined or, if there is no sale on that day, then on the last previous day on which a sale was reported; provided, however, that, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the initial public offering of the Common Stock shall be the initial public offering price per share.
(ii)      Option Term; Time and Method of Exercise . The Committee shall determine the term of each Option, which in no event shall exceed a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which or the circumstances under which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the methods by which the exercise price may be paid or deemed to be paid and the form of such payment (including, cash, Common Stock, other Awards or awards granted under other plans of the Company or any affiliate, or other property (including through “cashless exercise” arrangements, to the extent permitted by applicable law)), and the methods by or forms in which Common Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to participants.
(c)      Stock Appreciation Rights . The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to participants on the following terms and conditions:
(i)      Right to Payment . A SAR shall confer on the participant to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over (2) the base price of the SAR as determined by the Committee, which base price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such SAR.





(ii)      Other Terms . The Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which Common Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to participants, whether or not a SAR shall be free-standing or in tandem or combination with any other Award, and the maximum term of an SAR, which in no event shall exceed a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant.
(d)      Restricted Stock . The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to participants on the following terms and conditions:
(i)      Grant and Restrictions . Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination, at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), in such installments or otherwise and under such other circumstances as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. Except to the extent restricted under the terms of the Plan or any Award agreement evidencing the Restricted Stock, a participant granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon (subject to any mandatory reinvestment or other requirement imposed by the Committee).
(ii)      Forfeiture . Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of employment or other service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will lapse in whole or in part, including in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes.
(iii)      Certificates for Stock . Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the participant, the Committee may require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, that the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and that the participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock.
(iv)      Dividends and Splits . As a condition to the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require that any dividends paid on a share of Restricted Stock shall be either (1) paid with respect to such Restricted Stock at the dividend payment date in cash, in kind, or in a number of shares of unrestricted Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, or (2) automatically reinvested in additional Restricted Stock or held in kind, subject to the same terms as applied to the original Restricted Stock to which it relates. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Common Stock distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Common Stock or other property has been distributed.
(e)      Restricted Stock Units . The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to participants, which are rights to receive Common Stock, other Awards, or a combination thereof at the end of a specified deferral or vesting period, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)      Grant and Restrictions . The satisfaction of Restricted Stock Units will occur upon expiration of the applicable deferral or vesting period specified for an Award of Restricted Stock Units by the Committee. Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral or vesting period or at earlier specified times (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, and under such other circumstances as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. Restricted Stock Units may be satisfied by delivery of Common Stock, other Awards, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee at the date of grant





or thereafter. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be settled no later than the 15 th day of the third months following the calendar year in which such Award becomes vested; provided, however, that, subject to compliance with Section 409A, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for deferred settlement.
(ii)      Forfeiture . Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of employment or other service during the applicable deferral or vesting period, all Restricted Stock Units that are at that time subject to such forfeiture conditions shall be forfeited; provided that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award document, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units will lapse in whole or in part, including in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes.
(iii)      Dividend Equivalents . Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, dividend equivalents on the specified number of shares of Common Stock covered by an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be either (1) paid with respect to such Restricted Stock Units at the dividend payment date in cash or in shares of unrestricted Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, or (2) deferred with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, either as a cash deferral or with the amount or value thereof automatically deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units.
(f)      Other Stock-Based Awards and Cash Incentive Awards . The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to participants such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Common Stock or factors that may influence the value of Common Stock, including, without limitation, stock bonuses, dividend equivalents, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, purchase rights for Common Stock, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or business units thereof or any other factors designated by the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Common Stock or the value of securities of or the performance of specified subsidiaries or affiliates or other business units and awards designed to comply with or take advantage of other applicable local laws or jurisdictions other than the United States. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. In addition, Cash Incentive Awards, including annual incentive Awards and long-term incentive Awards, denominated and settled in cash, may be granted under this Section 5(f), which Awards may be earned at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), in such installments or otherwise and under such other circumstances as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. The Committee may require or permit the deferred payment and/or installment payout of all or part of any stock Awards or Cash Incentive Awards made hereunder, provided that the terms and conditions applicable to such deferral or installment payout comply with the distribution election and distribution timing requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
6.      Performance-Based Equity and Cash Awards .
(a)      General . The Committee may condition the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of equity-based Awards on the achievement of specified performance goals in accordance with this section. The Committee may also condition the grant, vesting or payment of annual and long-term cash incentive Awards on the achievement of specified performance goals in accordance with this section. The applicable performance period for measuring achievement of specified performance goals may be any period designated by the Committee.
(b)      Objective Performance Goals . A performance goal established in connection with an award covered by this section must be (1) objective, so that a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met, (2) prescribed in writing by the Committee before the beginning of the applicable performance period or at such later date when fulfillment is substantially uncertain, but not later than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period and in any event before completion of 25% of the performance period, and (3) based on any one or more of the following business criteria (which may be applied to an individual, a subsidiary, a business unit or division, or the Company and any one or more of its subsidiaries as a whole, as determined by the Committee):
(i)      total revenue or any key component thereof;
(ii)      operating income, pre-tax or after-tax income from continuing operations; earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (i.e. EBITA); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (i.e. EBITDA); or net income;





(iii)      cash flow (including, without limitation, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment (discounted or otherwise), net cash provided by operations or cash flow in excess of cost of capital);
(iv)      earnings per share or earnings per share from continuing operations (basic or diluted);
(v)      return on capital employed, return on invested capital, return on assets or net assets;
(vi)      after-tax return on stockholders’ equity;
(vii)      economic value created;
(viii)      operating margins or operating expenses;
(ix)      value of the Common Stock or total return to stockholders;
(x)      value of an investment in the Common Stock assuming the reinvestment of dividends;
(xi)      strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified market penetration goals, geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, ethics and compliance goals, management of employment practices and employee benefits, or supervision of litigation or information technology goals, or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures of subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures; and/or
(xii)      a combination of any or all of the foregoing criteria.
The targeted level or levels of performance with respect to such business criteria may be established at such levels and in such terms as the Committee may determine, in its discretion, including in absolute terms, as a goal relative to performance in prior periods, or as a goal compared to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies. If and to the extent permitted for awards intended to qualify as “performance- based” under Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder, the Committee may provide for the adjustment of such performance goals to reflect changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar types of events or circumstances occurring during the applicable performance period.
(c)      Calculation of Performance-Based Award . At the expiration of the applicable performance period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the performance goals established pursuant to this Section are achieved and the extent to which each performance-based award has been earned. The Committee may not exercise its discretion to increase the amount or value of an award that would otherwise be payable in accordance with the terms of a performance-based award made in accordance with this section.
7.      Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries . No Award or other right or interest of a participant under the Plan shall be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation or liability of such participant to any party (other than the Company or an affiliate thereof), or assigned or transferred by such participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to a beneficiary upon the death of a participant, and such Awards or rights that may be exercisable shall be exercised during the lifetime of the participant only by the participant or his or her guardian or legal representative, except that Awards (other than ISOs) and other rights may be transferred to one or more transferees during the lifetime of the participant, and may be exercised by such transferees in accordance with the terms of such Award, but only if and to the extent such transfers are permitted by the Committee, subject to any terms and conditions which the Committee may impose thereon. A beneficiary, transferee, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any participant shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award agreement applicable to such participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. For purposes hereof, “beneficiary” shall mean the legal representatives of the participant’s estate entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to receive the benefits under a participant’s Award upon a participant’s death, provided that, if and to the extent authorized by the Committee, a participant may be permitted to designate a beneficiary, in which case the “beneficiary” instead will be the person, persons, trust or trusts (if any are then surviving) which have been designated by the participant in his or her most recent written beneficiary designation filed with the Committee to receive the benefits specified under the participant’s Award upon such participant’s death.





8.      Capital Changes, Reorganization, Sale .
(a)      Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization . The aggregate number and class of shares issuable under the Plan, the number and class of shares and the exercise price per share covered by each outstanding Option, the number and class of shares and the base price per share covered by each outstanding SAR, the number and class of shares covered by each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Award and Other Stock-Based Award, any per-share base or purchase price or target market price included in the terms of any such Award and all related terms shall be adjusted proportionately or as otherwise appropriate to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split or consolidation of shares or any like capital adjustment, or the payment of any stock dividend, and/or to reflect a change in the character or class of shares covered by the Plan arising from a readjustment or recapitalization of the Company’s capital stock.
(b)      Cash, Stock or Other Property for Stock . Except as otherwise provided in this Section, in the event of an Exchange Transaction (as defined below), all holders of Options and SARs shall be permitted to exercise their outstanding Options and SARs in whole or in part (whether or not otherwise exercisable) immediately prior to such Exchange Transaction, and any outstanding Options and SARs which are not exercised before the Exchange Transaction shall thereupon terminate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if, as part of an Exchange Transaction, the stockholders of the Company receive capital stock of another corporation (“Exchange Stock”) in exchange for their shares of Common Stock (whether or not such Exchange Stock is the sole consideration), and if the Board, in its sole discretion, so directs, then all outstanding Options and SARs shall be converted into options to purchase shares of, or stock appreciation rights with respect to, Exchange Stock. The amount and price of converted options and stock appreciation rights shall be determined by adjusting the amount and price of the Options and SARs granted hereunder on the same basis as the determination of the number of shares of Exchange Stock the holders of Common Stock shall receive in the Exchange Transaction and, unless the Board determines otherwise, the vesting conditions with respect to the converted options and stock appreciation rights shall be substantially the same as the vesting conditions set forth in the original Option or SAR agreement, as applicable. Any such adjustment shall be made in a manner that does not cause the Option or SAR to become subject to Section 409A of the Code. The Board, acting in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards and the exercisablity, vesting and/or settlement, as applicable, of Other Stock-Based Awards and Cash Incentive Awards and/or make such other adjustments to the terms of any such outstanding Awards, and/or provide for the conversion of such Awards (other than Cash Incentive Awards) into comparable awards relating to Exchange Stock, all as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion in the context of an Exchange Transaction.
(c)      Definition of Exchange Transaction . For purposes hereof, the term “Exchange Transaction” means a merger (other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of Common Stock in the surviving corporation immediately after the merger), consolidation, acquisition or disposition of property or stock, separation, reorganization (other than a mere reincorporation or the creation of a holding company), liquidation of the Company or any other similar transaction or event so designated by the Board in its sole discretion, as a result of which the stockholders of the Company receive cash, stock or other property in exchange for or in connection with their shares of Common Stock.
(d)      Fractional Shares . In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Award pursuant to the provisions hereof, any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be disregarded, and each such Award shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from the adjustment.
(e)      Determination of Board to be Final . All adjustments under this Section shall be made by the Board, and its determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive.
9.      Tax Withholding; 409A Compliance . As a condition to the exercise of any Award, the delivery of any shares of Common Stock or payment of cash pursuant to any Award or the lapse of restrictions on any Award, or in connection with any other event that gives rise to a federal or other governmental tax withholding obligation on the part of the Company or an affiliate relating to an Award, the Company and/or the affiliate may (a) deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any payment or distribution to a participant whether or not pursuant to the Plan or (b) require the participant to remit cash (through payroll deduction or otherwise), in each case in an amount sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy such withholding obligation. If the event giving rise to the withholding obligation involves a transfer of shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the Committee, the participant may satisfy the withholding obligation described under this Section by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock or by tendering previously-owned shares of Common Stock, in each case having a fair market value equal to the





amount of tax to be withheld (or by any other mechanism as may be required or appropriate to conform with local tax and other rules). However, without the consent of the Committee, shares of Common Stock will not be withheld in excess of the maximum number of shares required to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation. It is intended that awards made under the Plan, including any related settlement terms and conditions and any deferred payment or settlement terms and conditions shall be structured, applied and interpreted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each participant shall be solely responsible for the tax consequences associated with awards made to such participant under the Plan and no participant shall have a claim against the Company by reason of an award being subject to Section 409A of the Code.

(A)      Nonqualified Performance Awards . Performance Awards granted to Employees that are not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, or that are Stock Options or SARs, shall be based on achievement of such goals and be subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee or its delegate shall determine.

Unless otherwise stated, such a Performance Goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria).

In the event that shares of Restricted Stock are to be issued at the beginning of the Restriction Period, the certificates evidencing such shares (to the extent that such shares are so evidenced) shall contain appropriate legends and restrictions that describe the terms and conditions of the restrictions applicable thereto. In the event that shares of Restricted Stock are to be issued at the end of the Restriction Period, the right to receive such shares shall be evidenced by book entry registration or in such other manner as the Committee may determine.
(b)      Deferral . With the approval of the Committee, amounts payable in respect of Awards may be deferred, either in the form of installments or a future lump sum payment. The Committee may permit selected Participants to elect to defer payments of some or all types of Awards in accordance with procedures established by the Committee or the Board. Any deferred payment, whether elected by the Participant or specified by the Award Agreement or by the Committee, may be forfeited if and to the extent that the Award Agreement so provides.
(c)      Dividends, Earnings and Interest . Dividends or dividend equivalent rights may be extended to and made part of any Stock Award, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may establish; provided , however , that no such dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid with respect to unvested Stock Awards, including Stock Awards subject to Performance Goals. Dividends or dividend equivalents awarded with respect to unvested Stock Awards will be accumulated and paid to the Participant at the time that such Stock Award vests, and will be forfeited in the event the underlying Stock Award is forfeited. The Committee may also establish rules and procedures for the crediting of interest or other earnings on deferred cash payments and dividend equivalents for deferred payment for Stock Awards. Dividends and/or dividend equivalents shall not be paid with respect to any Stock Options or SARs.
(d)      Substitution of Awards . Subject to Paragraphs 12 and 15, at the discretion of the Committee, a Participant who is an Employee or Consultant may be offered an election to substitute an Employee Award or Consultant Award for another Employee Award or Consultant Award or Employee Awards or Consultant Awards of the same or different type.
(e)      Cash-out of Awards . At the discretion of the Committee, an Award that is a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be settled by a cash payment equal to the difference between the FMV per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the Award, multiplied by the number of shares with respect to which the Award is exercised.
10.      Stock Option Exercise . The price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under a Stock Option shall be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash or, if permitted by the Committee and elected by the optionee, the optionee may purchase such shares by means of tendering Common Stock or surrendering another Award, including Restricted Stock, valued at FMV on the date of exercise, or any combination thereof. The Committee shall determine acceptable methods for Participants who are Employees or Consultants to tender Common Stock or other Employee Awards or Consultant Awards to exercise a Stock Option as it deems appropriate. If permitted by the Committee, payment may be made by successive exercises by the Participant or by a net exercise or cashless exercise procedures. The Committee may provide for procedures to permit the exercise or purchase of such Awards by use

8


of the proceeds to be received from the sale of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Award. The Committee may adopt additional rules and procedures regarding the exercise of Stock Options from time to time, provided that such rules and procedures are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Paragraph 10. An optionee desiring to pay the exercise price of a Stock Option by tendering Common Stock using the method of attestation may, subject to any such conditions and in compliance with any such procedures as the Committee may adopt, do so by attesting to the ownership of Common Stock of the requisite value in which case the Company shall issue or otherwise deliver to the optionee upon such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option equal to the result obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the aggregate FMV of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option for which the Stock Option (or portion thereof) is being exercised over the exercise price payable in respect of such exercise by (b) the FMV per share of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option, and the optionee may retain the shares of Common Stock the ownership of which is attested.
11.      Taxes . The Company or its designated third party administrator shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of cash or shares of Common Stock under this Plan, an appropriate amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof for payment of taxes or other amounts required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes; provided, however , that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in response to a change in accounting rules, the number of shares of Common Stock withheld for payment of required withholding taxes must equal no more than the required minimum withholding taxes. The Committee may also permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of the Employee Award with respect to which withholding is required. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy tax withholding, such shares shall be valued based on the FMV when the tax withholding is required to be made, and, without the consent of the Committee, shares of Common Stock will not be withheld in excess of the maximum number of shares required to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation.
12.      Change in Control . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the provisions of this Paragraph 12 shall apply in the event of a Change in Control, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in connection with the grant of an Award as reflected in the applicable Award Agreement, or as provided in an individual severance or employment agreement to which a Participant is a party.
(a)      Assumption of Awards . Upon a Change in Control, each then-outstanding Award may be adjusted or substituted in accordance with Paragraph 16 (subject to the limitations set forth therein) with an award that meets the criteria set forth in this Paragraph 12(a) (each, a “Replacement Award,” and each adjusted or substituted Award, a “Replaced Award”). An adjusted or substituted award meets the conditions of this Paragraph 12(a) (and hence qualifies as a Replacement Award) if (i) it is of the same type (e.g., stock option for Stock Option, restricted stock for Restricted Stock, restricted stock unit for Restricted Stock Unit, etc.) as the Replaced Award, (ii) it has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, (iii) it relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control, (iv) if the Participant holding the Replaced Award is subject to United States federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences to such Participant under the Code of the Replacement Award are not less favorable to such Participant than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award, and (v) its other terms and conditions are not less favorable to the Participant holding the Replaced Award than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Paragraph 12(a) are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may determine the value of Awards and Replacement Awards that are stock options by reference to either their intrinsic value or their fair value.
(b)      Failure to Assume Awards . In the event that a Participant does not receive a Replacement Award that meets the conditions set forth in Paragraph 12(a) with respect to any of his or her outstanding Awards upon a Change in Control, each such outstanding Award will become fully vested and exercisable (as applicable) and any restrictions applicable to such Award will lapse. For the avoidance of doubt, if all Awards hereunder are terminated without any Replacement Awards, then the Company or its successor in the Change in Control may terminate all Awards whose exercise price is less than or equal to the value per Share realized in connection with the Change in Control (without any consideration therefor).
(c)      Treatment of Performance Awards . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the occurrence of a Change in Control, any Performance Award will be vested or paid based on the greater of: (i) the amount payable or vested pursuant to the Performance Award based on achievement of “target” performance under the relevant Performance

9


Goals, but pro-rated based on the number of days that have elapsed in the performance period between the date of grant and the date of the Change in Control or (ii) the amount payable or vested pursuant to the Performance Award based on the actual achievement of the associated Performance Goals, measured as of the date of the Change in Control.
(d)      Termination Following Change in Control . If, during the two year period following a Change in Control, a Participant terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, the Participant is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for Cause, or the Participant’s employment terminates due to the Participant’s death or Disability, then (A) all Replacement Awards held by the Participant will become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable and free of restrictions, and (B) all Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant immediately before such termination of employment that the Participant also held as of the date of the Change in Control or that constitute Replacement Awards will remain exercisable for not less than two years following such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option or SAR, whichever period is shorter (provided, however, that if the applicable Award Agreement provides for a longer period of exercisability, that provision will control).
13.      Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination . The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law except that (i) no amendment or alteration that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall be made without such Participant’s consent and (ii) no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to approval by the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable legal requirements or applicable requirements of the securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is listed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as expressly provided by the adjustment provisions of Paragraph 16, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, Stock Options and SARs issued under the Plan will not be (i) repriced, replaced, or regranted through cancellation or by decreasing the exercise price of a previously granted Stock Option or SAR or (ii) canceled in exchange for cash or other Awards or Stock Options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Stock Options or SARs.
14.      Termination of Employment . Upon the termination of employment by a Participant, any unexercised, deferred or unpaid Awards shall be treated as provided in the specific Award Agreement evidencing the Award. In the event of such a termination, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide for the extension of the exercisability of an Award, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions contained in an Award, waive any restriction or other provision of this Plan or an Award or otherwise amend or modify the Award in any manner that is either (i) not materially adverse to such Participant or (ii) consented to by such Participant. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or a specific Award Agreement evidencing the Award, the following provisions shall apply in connection with a Participant’s termination of employment:
(a)      For Cause . Upon a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or an affiliate for Cause, the Award shall be automatically forfeited without any consideration.
(b)      Death or Disability . Upon a termination of the Participant’s employment due to death or Disability (unless the Committee determines that the death or Disability occurs as a result of conduct that constitutes Cause), the Award shall automatically vest or become exercisable, as applicable. Following such termination of employment, in the case of an Award in the form of a Stock Option or SAR, the Award shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the date one year following the Participant’s termination of employment or (ii) the expiration of the original term of the Award.
(c)      Involuntary Termination Without Cause and Voluntary Terminations . Upon a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or an affiliate for reasons other than death, Disability or Cause or by the Participant for any reason, the Award shall cease to vest or become exercisable, as applicable, and any unvested or unexercisable portion of such Award shall be forfeited as of the date of such termination of employment. Following such termination of employment, in the case of an Award in the form of a Stock Option or SAR, the Award, if vested, shall remain exercisable to the extent exercisable as of the date of such termination of employment until the earlier of (i) the date 30 days following the Participant’s termination of employment or (ii) the expiration of the original term of the Award.
15.      Assignability . No Award or any other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except by will, by beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder. In the event that a beneficiary designation conflicts with an assignment by will, the beneficiary designation will prevail. The Committee may prescribe and include in applicable Award Agreements or the terms of an Award other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this Paragraph 15 shall be null and void.

10


16.      Adjustments .
(a)      The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any manner 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 capital stock of the Company or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the 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 of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of the acts or proceedings enumerated above.
(b)      In the event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding shares of Common Stock, declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or other stock split, then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan and the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to specific types of Awards as described in Paragraph 4, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards in the form of Common Stock or units denominated in Common Stock, (iii) the exercise price or other price in respect of such Awards, (iv) the appropriate FMV and other price determinations for such Awards, and (v) the Stock Based Awards Limitations shall each be proportionately adjusted by the Committee as appropriate to reflect such transaction. In the event of any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, the adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting the Common Stock or any distribution to holders of Common Stock of securities or property (including cash dividends that the Committee determines are not in the ordinary course of business but excluding normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Common Stock), the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan and the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to specific types of Awards as described in Paragraph 4, (ii) the number and kind of shares covered by outstanding Awards in the form of Common Stock or units denominated in Common Stock, (iii) the exercise price or other price in respect of such Awards, (iv) the appropriate FMV and other price determinations for such Awards, and (v) the Stock Based Awards Limitations to reflect such transaction; provided that such adjustments shall only be such as are necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the holders of the Awards and preserve, without increasing, the value of such Awards.
(c)      In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee may make such adjustments to Awards or other provisions for the disposition of Awards as it deems equitable, and shall be authorized, in its discretion, (i) to provide for the substitution of a new Award or other arrangement (which, if applicable, may be exercisable for such property or stock as the Committee determines) for an Award or the assumption of the Award, regardless of whether in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies, (ii) to provide, prior to the transaction, for the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, the Award and, if the transaction is a cash merger, provide for the termination of any portion of the Award that remains unexercised at the time of such transaction, or (iii) to cancel any such Awards and to deliver to the Participants cash in an amount that the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion is equal to the FMV of such Awards on the date of such event, which in the case of Stock Options or SARs shall be the excess (if any) of the FMV of Common Stock on such date over the exercise or strike price of such Award.
(d)      No adjustment or substitution pursuant to this Paragraph 16 shall be made in a manner that results in noncompliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.
17.      Restrictions . No Common Stock or other form of payment shall be issued with respect to any Award unless the Company shall be satisfied based on the advice of its counsel that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered under this Plan (to the extent that such shares are evidenced) may be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange or transaction reporting system upon which the Common Stock is then listed or to which it is admitted for quotation and any applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed upon any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
18.      Unfunded Plan . This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants under this Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience, including bookkeeping accounts established by a third party administrator retained by the Company to administer the Plan. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets for purposes of this Plan or Awards hereunder, nor shall the Company nor the Board nor the Committee be

11


deemed to be a trustee of any benefit under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of the Company to any Participant with respect to an Award under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by this Plan and any Award Agreement or terms of the Award, and no such liability or obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Board nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan.
19.      Right to Continued Service or Employment . Nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or other service relationship at any time, or confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the capacity in which he or she is employed or otherwise serves the Company.
20.      Successors . All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
21.      Governing Law . This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
22.      Effective Date and Term of Plan . The Plan will be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the 2016 annual meeting of the stockholders and, if approved, shall be effective as of the date of such approval. No Award shall be made under the Plan ten years or more after such approval. As of the date of stockholder approval of this Plan, no further awards shall be made under the Prior Plan, provided, however, that any and all outstanding awards granted under the Prior Plan shall continue to be outstanding and shall be subject to the appropriate terms of the Prior Plan under which such award was granted and as are in effect as of the date this Plan is effective.
23.      Clawback . To the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards shall be subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the Company, which clawback policy may provide for forfeiture, repurchase and/or recoupment of Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company reserves the right, without the consent of any Participant, to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures, including such policies and procedures applicable to this Plan or any Award Agreement with retroactive effect.
24.      Section 409A .
(a)      Awards made under this Plan are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and ambiguous provisions hereof, if any, shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. No payment, benefit or consideration shall be substituted for an Award if such action would result in the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if any Plan provision or Award under this Plan would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, that Plan provision or Award shall be reformed, to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code, to avoid imposition of the additional tax, and no such action shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participant’s rights to an Award.
(b)      Unless the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, each RSU (including a RSU that is a Performance Award) or Cash Award (or portion thereof if the Award is subject to a vesting schedule) shall be settled no later than the 15th day of the third month after the end of the first calendar year in which the Award (or such portion thereof) is no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. If the Committee determines that a RSU (including a RSU that is a Performance Award) or Cash Award is intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the applicable Award Agreement shall include terms that are designed to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
If the Participant is identified by the Company as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date on which the Participant has a “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), any Award payable or settled on account of a separation from service that is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid or settled on the earliest of (1) the first business

12


day following the expiration of six months from the Participant’s separation from service, (2) the date of the Participant’s death, or (3) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

9.      Restricted Stock Units . The Committee may also from time to time authorize grants or sales to any Participant of Restricted Stock Units upon such terms and conditions as it may determine in accordance with this Section 9. Each grant or sale will constitute the agreement by the Parent to issue or transfer shares of Common Stock to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, subject to the fulfillment during the Deferral Period of such conditions as the Committee may specify. Each such grant or sale may utilize any or all of the authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the following provisions:

(c)      During the Deferral Period, the Participant will not have any right to transfer any rights under the Restricted Stock Units, will not have any rights of ownership in the Restricted Stock Units and will not have any right to vote the Restricted Stock Units, but the Committee may on or after the Date of Grant authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such shares in cash or Common Stock on a current, deferred or contingent basis.
(d)      Any grant or sale may provide for the effect on the Restricted Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock issued free of restrictions, or other payment made, with respect to the Restricted Stock Units of any conduct of the Participant determined by the Committee to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any significant interest of the Parent, Company or any Subsidiary.

The Senior Executive Plan Bonus will be paid at such time following the change in control as the Committee determines in its discretion, but in no event later than 30 days after the date of an event which results in a change in control.
(d)      Each grant may be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which will contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with the Plan, including without limitation provisions relating to the Participant’s termination of employment by reason of retirement, death, disability or otherwise.

In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards such alternative consideration as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection with such substitution the surrender of all Awards so replaced. Moreover, the Committee may on or after the Date of Grant provide in the Evidence of Award under the Plan that the holder of the Award may elect to receive an equivalent award in respect of securities of the surviving entity of any merger, consolidation or other transaction or event having a similar effect, or the Committee may provide that the holder will automatically be entitled to receive such an equivalent award.
(b)      The Committee may accelerate the payment of, or vesting with respect to, any Award under the Plan upon the occurrence of a transaction or event described in this Section 14; provided, however, that in the case of any Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee will not accelerate the payment of the Award unless it determines in good faith that such transaction or event satisfies the requirements of a change in control event under guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 409A.
15.      Fractional Shares . The Parent will not be required to issue any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement of fractions in cash.
16.      Withholding Taxes . To the extent that the Parent, Company, any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under the Plan, and the amounts available to the Parent, Company, Subsidiary or affiliate thereof, as applicable, for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Parent for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. In addition, if permitted by the Committee, the Participant or such other person may elect to have any withholding obligation of the Parent, Company, any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof satisfied with shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be transferred to the Participant or such other person in payment of the Participant’s Award. However, without the consent of the Committee, shares of Common Stock will not be withheld in excess of the maximum number of shares required to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation.

13




17.      Administration of the Plan .
(a)      Unless the administration of the Plan has been expressly assumed by the Board pursuant to a resolution of the Board, the Plan will be administered by the Committee. A majority of the Committee will constitute a quorum, and the action of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, will be the acts of the Committee.
(b)      The Committee has the full authority and discretion to administer the Plan and to take any action that is necessary or advisable in connection with the administration of the Plan, including without limitation the authority and discretion to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan or of any agreement, notification or document evidencing an Award. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any such provision and any determination by the Committee pursuant to any provision of the Plan or of any such agreement, notification or document will be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee will be liable for any such action or determination made in good faith.
(c)      It is the Parent’s intention that any Award granted under the Plan that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 409A satisfy the requirements of Section 409A. In granting such an Award, the Committee will use its best efforts to exercise its authority under the Plan with respect to the terms of such Award in a manner that the Committee determines in good faith will cause the Award to comply with Section 409A and thereby avoid the imposition of penalty taxes and interest upon the Participant receiving the Award.
(d)      If the administration of the Plan is assumed by the Board pursuant to Section 17(a), the Board will have the same authority, power, duties, responsibilities and discretion given to the Committee under the terms of the Plan.
18.      Amendments and Other Matters.
(a)      The Plan may be amended from time to time by the Committee or the Board but may not be amended without further approval by the stockholders of the Parent if such amendment would result in the Plan no longer satisfying any applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (or the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded), Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code.
(b)      Neither the Committee nor the Board will authorize the amendment of any outstanding Stock Option to reduce the Option Price without the further approval of the stockholders of the Parent. Furthermore, no Stock Option will be cancelled and replaced with Stock Options having a lower Option Price without further approval of the stockholders of the Parent. The provisions of this Section 18(b) are intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Stock Options and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 14.
(c)      The Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the Board. The termination of the Plan will not adversely affect the terms of any outstanding Award.

14




(d)      The Plan does not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Parent, Company or any Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Parent, Company or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s employment or other service at any time.
(e)      If the Committee determines, with the advice of legal counsel, that any provision of the Plan would prevent the payment of any Award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code from so qualifying, such Plan provision will be invalid and cease to have any effect without affecting the validity or effectiveness of any other provision of the Plan.
19.      Governing Law . The Plan, all Awards and all actions taken under the Plan and the Awards will be governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, including without limitation, the Delaware statute of limitations, but without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws of such State.
