Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee has full and final authority and sole discretion as follows:

(b) to determine the amount, if any, that a Grantee shall pay for Restricted Shares, whether to permit or require the payment of cash dividends thereon to be deferred and the terms related thereto, when Restricted Shares (including Restricted Shares acquired upon the exercise of an Option) shall be forfeited and whether such Shares shall be held in escrow;

(e) to determine the terms and conditions of all Award Agreements (which need not be identical) and, with the consent of the Grantee, to amend any such Award Agreement at any time, among other things, to permit transfers of such Awards to the extent permitted by the Plan; provided that the consent of the Grantee shall not be required for any amendment which (i) does not adversely affect the rights of the Grantee, or (ii) is necessary or advisable (as determined by the Committee) to carry out the purpose of the Award as a result of any new or change in existing applicable law;

(f) to cancel, with the consent of the Grantee, outstanding Awards and to grant new Awards in substitution therefore;

ARTICLE 4

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND MAXIMUM AWARDS

(1) Number of Shares Available for Grants. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the number of Shares hereby reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be 10,000,000, all of which may be granted as Incentive Stock Options (plus an unlimited amount of mutual fund units and other Awards not denominated in Shares). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Shares subject to a SAR award that are settled in Shares shall be counted in full against the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. If any Shares subject to an Award granted hereunder are forfeited, terminated, expired or canceled or such Award otherwise terminates without the issuance of such Shares or of other consideration in lieu of such Shares, the Shares subject to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination, expiration or cancellation shall again be available for grant under the Plan (without a charge against the aggregate number of Shares available for issuance hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares surrendered or withheld as payment of either the Strike Price of an Award (including Shares otherwise underlying an Award of a SAR that are retained by the Company to account for the grant price of such SAR) and/or withholding taxes in respect of an Award shall no longer be available for grant under the Plan. The Committee may from time to time determine the appropriate methodology for calculating the number of Shares (i) issued pursuant to the Plan, and (ii) granted to any Grantee pursuant to the Plan. Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be treasury Shares, newly-issued Shares, Shares issued from a trust or Shares purchased on the market.

(2) Adjustments in Authorized Shares. In the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, consolidation or reduction of capital, reorganization, merger, split-up, spin-off or combination involving the Company or repurchase or exchange of Shares or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that any adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted; (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, cancel an outstanding Award, in exchange for, if deemed appropriate, a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award or the substitution of other property for Shares subject to an outstanding Award; provided, in each case that with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code or any

successor provision thereto; and provided further, that with respect to Options and SARs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 424(h) of the Code; and, provided further, that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.

(4) Grant of Incentive Stock Options. At the time of the grant of any Option, the Committee may designate that such Option shall be made subject to additional restrictions to permit it to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Any Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall (to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code):

(a) if granted to a 10% Owner, have an option price not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on its Grant Date;

(c) not have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the Grant Date of each Incentive Stock Option) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options (whether granted under the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Grantee’s employer or any parent or Subsidiary thereof (“Other Plans”)) are exercisable for the first time by such Grantee during any calendar year, determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, which exceeds $100,000 (the “$100,000 Limit”);

(d) if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares (determined on the Grant Date) with respect to the portion of such grant which is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (“Current Grant”) and all Incentive Stock Options previously granted under the Plan and any Other Plans which are exercisable for the first time during the same calendar year (“Prior Grants”) would exceed the $100,000 Limit, be exercisable as follows:

(1) the portion of the Current Grant which would, when added to any Prior Grants, be exercisable with respect to Shares which would have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective Grant Date for such options) in excess of the $100,000 Limit shall, notwithstanding the terms of the Current Grant, be exercisable for the first time by the Grantee in the first subsequent calendar year or years in which it could be exercisable for the first time by the Grantee when added to all Prior Grants without exceeding the $100,000 Limit; and

(2) if, viewed as of the date of the Current Grant, any portion of a Current Grant could not be exercised under the preceding provisions of this Section during any calendar year commencing with the calendar year in which it is first exercisable through and including the last calendar year in which it may by its terms be exercised, such portion of the Current Grant shall not be an Incentive Stock Option, but shall be exercisable as an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option at such date or dates as are provided in the Current Grant;

(e) be granted within seven (7) years from the earlier of the date the Plan is adopted or the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company; and

(f) by its terms not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the Grantee’s lifetime, only by the Grantee; provided, however, that the Grantee may, in any manner permitted by the Plan and specified by the Committee, designate in writing a beneficiary to exercise his or her Incentive Stock Option after the Grantee’s death.

Any Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall also require the Grantee to notify the Committee of any disposition of any Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions) (any such circumstance, a “Disqualifying Disposition”), within 10 days of such Disqualifying Disposition.

Notwithstanding Section 3.2(e), the Committee may, without the consent of the Grantee, at any time before the exercise of an Option (whether or not an Incentive Stock Option), take any action necessary to prevent such Option from being treated as an Incentive Stock Option.

(5) Payment. Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares made by any one or more of the following means, subject to the approval of the Management Committee (or the Committee to the extent required by Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act):

(a) cash, personal check or wire transfer;

(b) Shares valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise;

If any Restricted Shares (“Tendered Restricted Shares”) are used to pay the option price, a number of Shares acquired on exercise of the Option equal to the number of Tendered Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Tendered Restricted Shares, determined as of the date of exercise of the Option.

ARTICLE 7

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

(1) Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to any Eligible Person at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may grant Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination thereof. The Committee shall determine the number of SARs granted to each Grantee (subject to Article 4), the Strike Price thereof, and, consistent with Section 7.2 and the other provisions of the Plan, the other terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs. The Strike Price shall be determined by the Committee, and shall be equal to or more than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date; provided, however, that any SAR that is (x) granted to a Grantee in connection with an Acquisition, however effected, by the Company of an Acquired Entity or the assets thereof, (y) associated with a stock appreciation right in respect of shares of stock of the Acquired Entity or an affiliate thereof (“Acquired Entity SAR”) held by such Grantee immediately prior to such Acquisition, and (z) intended to preserve for the Grantee the economic value of all or a portion of such Acquired Entity SAR (“Substitute SAR”) may, to the extent necessary to achieve such preservation of economic value, be granted with a Strike Price that is less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, provided that such grant is made in a manner that will not result in the Substitute SAR being subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(2) Exercise of Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Award upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Award. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the Shares for which its related Award is then exercisable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR, (i) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the underlying Option; (ii) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than 100 percent of the difference between the option price of the underlying Option and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying Option at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (iii) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option exceeds the option price of the Option.

(3) Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of an SAR, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

(a) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Strike Price; by

(b) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised;

provided that the Committee may provide in the Award Agreement that the benefit payable on exercise of an SAR shall not exceed such percentage of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date as the Committee shall specify. As provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement, the payment upon exercise of a Freestanding SAR or Tandem SAR shall either be in Shares which have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date of exercise of the SAR) equal to the amount of the payment or cash.

RESTRICTED SHARES

(1) Grant of Restricted Shares. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Shares to any Eligible Person in such amounts as the Committee shall determine.

(2) Award Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the period(s) of restriction, the number of Restricted Shares granted, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine including, with respect to each Restricted Share that is also a Share Unit, the time and form of payment of such Restricted Share; provided, however, that with respect to Restricted Shares that are also Share Units, if such Share Units would be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the provisions of such Share Unit shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code.

(3) Restrictions. The Committee may impose such conditions and/or restrictions on any Restricted Shares granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable, including restrictions based upon the achievement of Performance Measures, the achievement of individual performance goals, time-based restrictions on vesting, and/or restrictions under applicable securities laws.

(4) Consideration. The Committee shall determine the amount, if any, that a Grantee shall pay for Restricted Shares. Such payment shall be made in full by the Grantee before the delivery of the Shares or Share Units and in any event no later than 10 business days after the Grant Date for such Shares or Share Units.

(5) Effect of Forfeiture. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if Restricted Shares are forfeited, and if the Grantee was required to pay for such Shares or Share Units or acquired such Restricted Shares upon the exercise of an Option, the Grantee shall be deemed to have resold such Restricted Shares to the Company at a price equal to the lesser of (x) the amount paid by the Grantee for such Restricted Shares, or (y) the Fair Market Value of a Share or Share Unit on the date of such forfeiture. The Company shall pay to the Grantee the required amount as soon as is administratively practical. Such Restricted Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall no longer confer on the Grantee thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company, from and after the date of the event causing the forfeiture, whether or not the Grantee accepts the Company’s tender of payment for such Restricted Shares.

(6) Escrow; Legends. The Committee may provide that the certificates for any Restricted Shares (x) shall be held (together with a stock power executed in blank by the Grantee) in escrow by the Secretary of the Company until such Restricted Shares become nonforfeitable or are forfeited and/or (y) shall bear an appropriate legend restricting the transfer of such Restricted Shares. If any Restricted Shares become non-forfeitable, the Company shall cause any certificates for such Shares to be issued without such legend.

ARTICLE 9

OTHER AWARDS

The Committee may grant Other Awards that are payable in cash, Shares or other securities or property (or any combination thereof) as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, and such Other Awards shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. Other Awards may be granted with value and payment contingent upon the achievement of performance criteria. Other Awards may also be granted in the form of mutual fund units that are credited with income, gains and losses based on the performance of certain mutual fund investment options.

ARTICLE 10

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

Each Grantee under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Grantee, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Grantee in writing with the Company during the Grantee’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Grantee’s death shall be paid to the Grantee’s estate.

ARTICLE 11

DEFERRALS

The Committee may require or permit Grantees to elect to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due by virtue of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Shares under such rules and procedures as established under the Plan or such other rules and procedures as the Committee shall establish; provided, however, to the extent that such deferral is subject to Section 409A of the Code the rules and procedures established by the Committee shall comply with Section 409A of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, any payment or any Shares that are subject to such deferral shall be made or delivered to the Grantee upon the Grantee’s Termination of Affiliation.

ARTICLE 12

RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES/DIRECTORS/CONSULTANTS

(1) Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Grantee’s employment, directorship or consultancy at any time, nor confer upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employ or as a director or consultant of the Company or any Subsidiary.

(2) Participation. No employee, director or consultant shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.

(3) Dividend Equivalents. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and any Award, the recipient of an Award (including any Award deferred in accordance with procedures established pursuant to Article 11) may, if so determined by the Committee, be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, cash, stock or other property dividends, or cash payments in amounts equivalent to cash, property, or other property dividends on Shares (“Dividend Equivalents”) with respect to the number of Shares covered by the Award, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares or otherwise reinvested; provided, however, that if such payment of dividends or Dividend Equivalents would be subject to Section 409A of the Code, no such payment may be made if it would fail to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dividends or Dividend Equivalents will be paid with respect to unvested performance Awards.

ARTICLE 13

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

(1) Amendment, Modification, and Termination. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. To the extent applicable and required by Code Section 422 or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (or such other exchange upon which the Company lists its shares for trading) or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, no amendment and no transaction that would constitute a repricing shall be effective unless approved by the Company’s stockholders. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or SARs or cancel outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or SARs without stockholder approval. The Board may delegate to the Plan Committee any or all of the authority of the Board under Section 13.1 to alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(2) Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Non-recurring Events. The Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events (including the events described in Section 4.2) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting

principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

(3) Awards Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no termination, amendment or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Grantee of such Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan as amended and restated as set forth herein as of the Effective Date shall not adversely impact in any way any Award previously granted under the Plan prior to the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 14

WITHHOLDING

(1) Withholding. Each Grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of such Grantee for federal and/or state income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Management Committee (or the Committee to the extent required by Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act) regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Grantee. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever Shares (or other property) are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Grantee to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related federal, state and local taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. With the approval of the Management Committee (or the Committee to the extent required by Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act), a Grantee may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares (or other property) or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value not exceeding the federal, state and local taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. Such Shares or other property shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares or other property to be delivered pursuant to an Award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Award.

(2) Notification under Code Section 83(b). If the Grantee, in connection with the exercise of any Option, or the grant of Restricted Shares, makes the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in such Grantee’s gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code, then such Grantee shall notify the Company of such election within 10 days of filing the notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83 (b) of the Code. The Committee may, in connection with the grant of an Award or at any time thereafter prior to such an election being made, prohibit a Grantee from making the election described above.

ARTICLE 15

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.

ARTICLE 16

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

(1) Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

(2) Severability. If any part of the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any other part of the Plan. Any Section or part of a Section so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

(3) Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or stock exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award, Grantees shall not be entitled to exercise, or receive benefits under, any Award, and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares or other benefits to a Grantee, if such exercise or delivery would constitute a violation by the Grantee or the Company of any applicable law or regulation.

(4) Securities Law Compliance.

(a) If the Committee deems it necessary to comply with any applicable securities law, or the requirements of any stock exchange upon which Shares may be listed, the Committee may impose any restriction on Shares acquired pursuant to Awards under the Plan as it may deem advisable. All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall 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 stock exchange upon which Shares are then listed, any applicable securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. If so requested by the Company, the Grantee shall make a written representation to the Company that he or she will not sell or offer to sell any Shares unless a registration statement shall be in effect with respect to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities law or unless he or she shall have furnished to the Company evidence satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.

(b) If the Committee determines that the exercise or non-forfeitability of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Award would violate any applicable provision of securities laws or the listing requirements of any stock exchange upon which any of the Company’s equity securities are listed, then the Committee may postpone any such exercise, non-forfeitability or delivery, as applicable, but the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause such exercise, non-forfeitability or delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date.

(5) No Rights as a Stockholder. A Grantee shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares (other than Restricted Shares) which may be deliverable upon exercise or payment of such Award until such shares have been delivered to him or her. Restricted Shares, whether held by a Grantee or in escrow by the Secretary of the Company, shall confer on the Grantee all rights of a stockholder of the Company, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Award Agreement. At the time of a grant of Restricted Shares, the Committee may require the payment of cash dividends thereon to be deferred and, if the Committee so determines, reinvested in additional Restricted Shares. Stock dividends and deferred cash dividends issued with respect to Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions and other terms as apply to the Restricted Shares with respect to which such dividends are issued. The Committee may provide for payment of interest on deferred cash dividends.

(6) Nature of Payments. Awards shall be special incentive payments to the Grantee and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Grantee for purposes of

determining any pension, retirement, death or other benefit under (a) any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, insurance or other employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or (b) any agreement between (i) the Company or any Subsidiary and (ii) the Grantee, except as such plan or agreement shall otherwise expressly provide.

(7) Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware other than its laws respecting choice of law.

(8) Status as Foreign Private Issuer. As of the Effective Date and for a certain period of time thereafter, the Company will qualify as a “foreign private issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act), which permits the Company to operate the Plan, and to grant Awards and issue Shares under the Plan, under different laws, rules or regulations than those that may be expressly referenced herein. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, the Plan shall only be required to be administered in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. However, the Committee, if it deems it necessary or advisable, may decide in its discretion to administer the Plan in compliance with such laws, rules and regulations as may become applicable upon the Company ceasing to qualify as a foreign private issuer.

(9) Code Section 409A Compliance. The intent of the Company is that payments and benefits under this Plan comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Plan shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in this Plan that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Plan during the six-month period immediately following the Grantee’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Grantee’s separation from service (or upon Grantee’s death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes of this Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
