As soon as practicable following the end of an Award Period, but in all events prior to the payment of any Award Amounts, the Committee will compute and certify in writing the amount of the Compensation Pool for that Award Period, and will determine whether any Performance Conditions established for that Award Period were satisfied. In performing such computation, the Committee may rely upon financial statements supplied by the Corporation’s officers, provided that the Committee believes such statements to have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

5.3.

5.4. Except to the extent that, pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1 hereof, the terms of an Incentive Award require that all or a portion of an Award Amount, to the extent paid, be paid in the form of Common Stock, the Committee may, in its discretion at the time of payment of an Award Amount pay such Award Amount in the form of cash, Common Stock (valued based on Fair Market Value), or a combination thereof.

5.5. In the event that the Committee does not exhaust the full amount of the Compensation Pool through the payment of Incentive Awards, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and no later than 90 days after the commencement of an Award Period, certify in writing that all or a portion of the remaining Compensation Pool will be added to the Compensation Pool for the Award Period then commenced; provided, that the Committee is not authorized to direct any such carryover in an amount that exceeds $3 million; and, provided further, that the Committee establishes one or more Performance Conditions that must be achieved during the Award Period in order for such carryover amount to be available for the payment of Incentive Awards for that Award Period.

The Committee, subject to such terms and conditions as it may determine, and a Participant pursuant to any deferred compensation plan of the Corporation, will have the right to defer the payment of an Award Amount or the receipt of Additional Stock, provided, in either case, that any additional amounts credited to such deferred amounts or shares will be based either on a reasonable rate of interest or the actual rate of return of one or more predetermined investments specified by the Committee or pursuant to the terms of such deferred compensation plan.

6.1. Common Stock issued under this Plan will be subject to such terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee pursuant to the terms of an Incentive Award or at the time of issuance, including but not limited to, terms and conditions that provide for the lapse of transfer restrictions or forfeiture provisions to be contingent on continued employment.

6.2. To the extent that, pursuant to the terms of an Incentive Award, shares of Common Stock are required to be issued to a Participant in full or partial payment of an Award Amount, the terms of an Incentive Award may provide for the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock (“Additional Stock”) not in excess of 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant in payment of the Award Amount pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Award (and not pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof).

6.3. Fractional shares will not be issued pursuant to the Plan.

Incentive Awards and Common Stock issued hereunder (to the extent provided by the terms on which such shares are issued hereunder) will not be subject to the claims of creditors and may not be assigned, alternated, transferred or encumbered in any way other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.

The Board or the Committee may amend, modify or terminate the Plan in any respect at any time without the consent of the Participants.

In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as directors or as members of the Committee, each of the members of the Committee will be indemnified by the Corporation against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Incentive Award made hereunder; and against all amounts reasonably paid by them in settlement thereof or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12.1. The establishment of the Plan will not confer upon any Participant any legal or equitable right against the Corporation or any Subsidiary, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

12.2. The Plan does not constitute an inducement or consideration for the employment of any Participant, nor is it a contract between the Corporation, or any Subsidiary, and any Participant. Participation in the Plan will not give a Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

12.3. Nothing contained in this Plan will prevent the Board or Committee from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
