3.	Shares Subject to the Plan

The maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be covered by Incentive Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed 9,800,000 Ordinary Shares in the aggregate. Out of such aggregate, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be covered by Options that are designated as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code shall not exceed 9,800,000 Ordinary Shares. The maximum number of shares referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 3(a) shall in each case be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 and the following provisions of this Section 3. Of the shares described, 100% may be delivered in connection with “full-value Awards,” meaning Incentive Awards other than Options or stock appreciation rights. Any shares granted under any Incentive Awards shall be counted against the share limit on a one-for-one basis. Ordinary Shares issued under the Plan may be unissued shares, treasury shares, shares purchased by the Company or by an employee benefit trust or similar vehicle in the open market, or any combination of the preceding categories as the Committee determines in its sole discretion.

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, Ordinary Shares covered by Incentive Awards shall only be counted as used to the extent they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant (or such Participant’s permitted transferees as described in the Plan) pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that if Ordinary Shares are tendered (either actually or through attestation) or withheld to pay the exercise price of an Option or stock appreciation right or to satisfy any tax withholding requirement in connection with an Option or stock appreciation right, both the shares issued (if any) and the shares withheld will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the number of Ordinary Shares that are available for delivery under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Shares that are tendered (either actually or through attestation) or withheld to satisfy any tax withholding requirement in connection with any “full-value Awards” shall be added to the number of Ordinary Shares that are available for delivery under the Plan. In addition, if Ordinary Shares are issued subject to conditions which may result in the forfeiture, cancellation or return of such shares to the Company, any portion of the shares forfeited, cancelled or returned shall be treated as not issued pursuant to the Plan. Ordinary Shares underlying Incentive Awards that are settled for cash shall be added to the number of Ordinary Shares that are available for delivery under the Plan. Ordinary Shares covered by Incentive Awards granted pursuant to the Plan in connection with the assumption, replacement, conversion or adjustment of outstanding equity-based awards in the context of a corporate acquisition or merger (within the meaning of Section 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual) shall not count as used under the Plan for purposes of this Section 3.

4.	Administration of the Plan

The Plan shall be administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more Persons, each of whom qualifies as a “non-employee director” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act), and as “independent” as required by NYSE or any security exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are listed, in each case if and to the extent required by applicable law or necessary to meet the requirements of such Rule, Section or listing requirement at the time of determination. From time to time, the Board may increase or decrease the size of the Committee, add additional members to, remove members (with or without cause) from, appoint new members in substitution therefor, and fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. The Committee shall, consistent with the terms of the Plan, from time to time designate those individuals who shall be granted Incentive Awards under the Plan and the amount, type and other terms and conditions of such Incentive Awards. All of the powers and responsibilities of the Committee under the Plan may be delegated by the Committee, in writing, to any subcommittee thereof, in which case the acts of such subcommittee shall be deemed to be acts of the Committee hereunder. The Committee may also from time to time authorize a subcommittee consisting of one or more members of the Board of Directors (including members who are employees of the Company) or employees of the Company to grant Incentive Awards to Persons who are not “executive officers” of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act), subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Committee may specify and to the requirements of applicable law.

The Committee shall have full discretionary authority to administer the Plan, including discretionary authority to interpret and construe any and all provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement thereunder, and to adopt, amend and rescind from time to time such rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, including rules and regulations related to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws and/or qualifying for preferred tax treatment under applicable foreign tax laws, as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate. Decisions of the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee may exercise all discretion granted to it under the Plan in a non-uniform manner among Participants.

The Committee may delegate the administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company, and such administrator(s) may have the authority to execute and distribute Award Agreements, to maintain records relating to Incentive Awards, to process or oversee the issuance of Ordinary Shares under Incentive Awards, to interpret and administer the terms of Incentive Awards, and to take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and of Incentive Awards under the Plan, provided that in no case shall any such administrator be authorized (i) to grant Incentive Awards under the Plan (except in connection with any delegation made by the Committee pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4), (ii) to take any action inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code or (iii) to take any action inconsistent with applicable law. Any action by any such administrator within the scope of its delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have

been taken by the Committee and, except as otherwise specifically provided, references in this Plan to the Committee shall include any such administrator. The Committee and, to the extent it so provides, any subcommittee, shall have sole authority to determine whether to review any actions and/or interpretations of any such administrator, and if the Committee shall decide to conduct such a review, any such actions and/or interpretations of any such administrator shall be subject to approval, disapproval, or modification by the Committee.

On or after the date of grant of an Incentive Award under the Plan, the Committee may (i) accelerate the date on which any such Incentive Award becomes vested, exercisable or transferable, as the case may be, (ii) extend the term of any such Incentive Award, including, without limitation, extending the period following a termination of a Participant’s Employment during which any such Incentive Award may remain outstanding, (iii) waive any conditions to the vesting, exercisability or transferability, as the case may be, of any such Incentive Award or (iv) provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any such Incentive Award; provided, that the Committee shall not have any such authority to the extent that the grant of such authority would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in connection with a Change in Control or as permitted under Section 9, the Company shall not (x) reprice (within the meaning of Section 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and any other formal or informal guidance issued by the New York Stock Exchange) any Option or stock appreciation right or (y) purchase underwater Options or stock appreciation rights from a Participant for value in excess of zero, in each case without the approval of the shareholders of C&W.

The Company shall pay any amount payable with respect to an Incentive Award in accordance with the terms of such Incentive Award, provided that the Committee may, in its discretion, defer, or give a Participant the election to defer, the payment of amounts payable with respect to an Incentive Award subject to and in accordance with the terms of a Deferred Compensation Plan.

No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action, omission, or determination relating to the Plan, and C&W shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee) arising out of any action, omission or determination relating to the Plan, unless, in either case, such action, omission or determination was taken or made by such member, director or employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that it was in the best interests of the Company.

5.	Eligibility

The Persons who shall be eligible to receive Incentive Awards pursuant to the Plan shall be those employees, consultants and independent contractors of the Company whom the Committee shall select from time to time, including officers of C&W, whether or not they are directors. Each Incentive Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

Options

The Committee may from time to time grant Options on such terms as it shall determine, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. The Award Agreement shall clearly identify such Option as either an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or as not an incentive stock option.

(a) Exercise Price

The exercise price per Ordinary Share covered by any Option shall be not less than the greater of its nominal value and 100% of the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date on which such Option is granted, it being understood that the exercise price of an Option that is a Substitute Award may be less than the Fair Market Value per Ordinary Share on the date such Substitute Award is assumed, provided that such substitution complies with applicable laws and regulations.

(b) Term and Exercise of Options

(1) Each Option shall become vested and exercisable on such date or dates, during such period and for such number of Ordinary Shares as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that each Option shall be subject to earlier termination, expiration or cancellation as provided in the Plan or the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted; provided, however that the expiration of the Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) may be tolled while the Participant cannot exercise such Option because an exercise would violate an applicable federal, state, local, or foreign law, or would jeopardize the ability of C&W to continue as a going concern, provided, further that the period during which the Option may be exercised is not extended more than 30 days after the exercise of the Option first would no longer violate such applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws or jeopardize the ability of C&W to continue as a going concern.

(2) Each Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part; provided, however that no partial exercise of an Option shall be for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000. The partial exercise of an Option shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion thereof.

(3) An Option shall be exercised by such methods and procedures as the Committee determines from time to time, including without limitation through net physical settlement or other method of cashless exercise.

(1) The aggregate Fair Market Value of Ordinary Shares with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of C&W or any of its “subsidiaries” (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) shall not exceed $100,000. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such incentive stock option is granted. In the event that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Ordinary Shares with respect to such incentive stock options exceeds $100,000, then incentive stock options granted hereunder to such Participant shall, to the extent and in the order required by regulations promulgated under the Code (or any other authority having the force of regulations), automatically be deemed to be non-qualified stock options, but all other terms and provisions of such incentive stock options shall remain unchanged. In the absence of such regulations (and authority), or in the event such regulations (or authority) require or permit a designation of the Options which shall cease to constitute incentive stock options, incentive stock options granted hereunder shall, to the extent of such excess and in the order in which they were granted, automatically be deemed to be non-qualified stock options, but all other terms and provisions of such incentive stock options shall remain unchanged.

(2) Incentive stock options may only be granted to individuals who are employees of the Company. No incentive stock option may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns shares possessing more than ten percent of the total combined “voting power” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of all classes of shares of C&W or any of its “subsidiaries” (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code), unless (i) the exercise price of such incentive stock option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Ordinary Share at the time such incentive stock option is granted and (ii) such incentive stock option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such incentive stock option is granted.

7.	Other Share-Based Awards

The Committee may from time to time grant equity-based or equity-related awards not otherwise described herein in such amounts and on such terms as it shall determine, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, each such Other Share-Based Award may (i) involve the transfer of actual Ordinary Shares to Participants, either at the time of grant or thereafter, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Ordinary Shares, (ii) be subject to performance-based and/or service-based conditions, (iii) be in the form of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, deferred share units or share-denominated performance units, and (iv) be designed to comply with applicable laws of jurisdictions other than the United States; provided, that each Other Share-Based Award shall be denominated in, or shall have a value determined by reference to, a number of Ordinary Shares that is specified at the time of the grant of such Incentive Award.

8.	Cash Incentive Awards

The Committee may from time to time grant Cash Incentive Awards on such terms as it shall determine, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. Cash Incentive Awards may be settled in cash or in other property, including Ordinary Shares, provided that the term “Cash Incentive Award” shall exclude any Option or Other Share-Based Award.

9.	Adjustment Upon Certain Changes

Subject to any action by the shareholders of C&W required by law, applicable tax rules or the rules of any exchange on which Ordinary Shares of C&W are listed for trading:

(a) Shares Available for Grants

In the event of any change in the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, spin-off or similar corporate change or extraordinary cash dividend, the maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which the Committee may grant Incentive Awards, exercise or base price of any Option or stock appreciation right and the applicable performance targets or criteria shall be equitably adjusted or substituted by the Committee to prevent enlargement or reduction in rights granted under the Incentive Award. In the event of any change in the number of Ordinary Shares of C&W outstanding by reason of any other event or transaction, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, make such adjustments to the type or number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which Incentive Awards may be granted.

(b) Increase or Decrease in Issued Shares Without Consideration

In the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued Ordinary Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Ordinary Shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Ordinary Shares), or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, adjust the type or number of Ordinary Shares subject to each outstanding Incentive Award and the exercise price per Ordinary Share of each such Incentive Award.

In the event of any merger, consolidation or similar transaction as a result of which the holders of Ordinary Shares receive consideration consisting exclusively of securities of the acquiring or surviving corporation in such transaction, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, adjust each Incentive Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation or similar transaction so that it pertains and applies to the securities which a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares subject to such Incentive Award would have received in such merger or consolidation or similar transaction.

In the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of C&W, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (on a consolidated basis), (iii) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving C&W in which the holders of Ordinary Shares receive securities and/or other property, including cash, other than or in addition to shares of the surviving corporation in such transaction, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, have the power to:

(i) cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Incentive Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Incentive Award was granted an amount in cash, for each Ordinary Share subject to such Incentive Award, equal to the value, as determined by the Committee, of such Incentive Award, provided that with respect to any outstanding Option or stock appreciation right such value shall be equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Committee, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of an Ordinary Share as a result of such event over (B) the exercise price of such Option or stock appreciation right (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be zero in the case of underwater Options and stock appreciation rights); or

(ii) provide for the exchange of each Incentive Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested) for an Incentive Award with respect to (A) some or all of the property which a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares subject to such Incentive Award would have received in such transaction or (B) securities of the acquiror or surviving entity and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in the exercise price of the Incentive Award, or the number of shares or amount of property subject to the Incentive Award or provide for a payment (in cash or other property) to the Participant to whom such Incentive Award was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Incentive Award.

(d) Other Changes

In the event of any change in the capitalization of C&W or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in Sections 9(a), (b) or (c), the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares subject to Incentive Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in such other terms of such Incentive Awards as the Committee may consider appropriate.

(e) Cash Incentive Awards

In the event of any transaction or event described in this Section 9, including without limitation any corporate change referred to in paragraph (d) hereof, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of any Cash Incentive Award.

(f) No Other Rights

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of any class, the payment of any dividends or dividend equivalents, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation of C&W or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issuance by C&W of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares or amount of other property subject to, or the terms related to, any Incentive Award.

(g) Savings Clause

No provision of this Section 9 shall be given effect to the extent that such provision would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code.

No provision of this Section 9 shall be given effect to the extent such provision would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

10.	Change in Control; Termination of Employment

(a) Change in Control

The consequences of a Change in Control, if any, will be set forth in the Award Agreement in addition to what is provided in this Section 10.

(b) Termination of Employment

(1) Except as to any awards constituting stock rights subject to Section 409A of the Code, termination of Employment shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, unless the Participant is retained as a consultant pursuant to a written agreement and such agreement provides otherwise. The

Employment of a Participant with the Company shall be deemed to have terminated for all purposes of the Plan if such Person is employed by or provides services to a Person that is a Subsidiary of the Company and such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, unless the Committee determines otherwise. Unless otherwise agreed by the Committee upon the advice of counsel that so agreeing does not result in the imposition of penalties under Section 409A of the Code, a Participant who ceases to be an employee of the Company but continues, or simultaneously commences, services as a director of the Company shall be deemed to have had a termination of Employment for purposes of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall determine whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute termination of Employment, provided that a Participant who is an employee will not be deemed to cease employment in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Company. Furthermore, no payment shall be made with respect to any Incentive Awards under the Plan that are subject to Section 409A of the Code as a result of any such authorized leave of absence or absence in military or government service unless such authorized leave of absence constitutes a separation from service for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(2) The Award Agreement shall specify the consequences with respect to such Incentive Award of the termination of Employment of the Participant holding the Incentive Award.

11.	Rights Under the Plan

No Person shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Ordinary Shares covered by or relating to any Incentive Award until the date of the issuance of such shares on the books and records of C&W. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 9 hereof or in a Participant’s Award Agreement, no adjustment of any Incentive Award shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date of such issuance. Nothing in this Section 11 is intended, or should be construed, to limit authority of the Committee to cause the Company to make payments based on the dividends that would be payable with respect to any Ordinary Share if it were issued or outstanding, or from granting rights related to such dividends; provided that dividends or dividend equivalents that would be payable with respect to any Ordinary Share subject to a performance-based Incentive Award shall not be paid until, and only to the extent that, the performance-based conditions are met.

The Company shall not have any obligation to establish any separate fund or trust or other segregation of assets to provide for payments under the Plan. To the extent any Person acquires any rights to receive payments hereunder from the Company, such rights shall be no greater than those of an unsecured creditor.

12.	No Special Employment Rights; No Right to Incentive Award

(a) Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her Employment by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company at any time to terminate such Employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of an Incentive Award.

(b) No Person shall have any claim or right to receive an Incentive Award hereunder. The Committee’s granting of an Incentive Award to a Participant at any time shall neither require the Committee to grant an Incentive Award to such Participant or any other Participant or other Person at any time nor preclude the Committee from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any other Participant or other Person.

13.	Securities Matters

(a) C&W shall be under no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of any Ordinary Shares to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state or local laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, C&W shall not be obligated to cause to be issued Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan unless and until C&W is advised by its counsel that the issuance is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which Ordinary Shares are traded. The Committee may require, as a condition to the issuance of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such covenants, agreements and representations, and that any related certificates representing such shares bear such legends, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable.

(b) The exercise or settlement of any Incentive Award (including, without limitation, any Option) granted hereunder shall be effective unless at such time counsel to C&W determines that the issuance and delivery of Ordinary Shares pursuant to such exercise would not be in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which Ordinary Shares are traded. C&W may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of any exercise or settlement of an Incentive Award granted hereunder in order to allow the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to be made pursuant to registration or an exemption from registration or other methods for compliance available under federal or state or local securities laws. C&W shall inform the Participant in writing of its decision to defer the effectiveness of the exercise or settlement of an Incentive Award granted hereunder. During the period that the effectiveness of the exercise of an Incentive Award has been deferred, the Participant may, by written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.

14.	Withholding Taxes

(a) Cash Remittance

Whenever withholding tax obligations are incurred in connection with any Incentive Award, C&W shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to C&W in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such event. In addition, upon the exercise or settlement of any Incentive Award in cash, or the making of any other payment with respect to any Incentive Award (other than in Ordinary Shares), C&W shall have the right to withhold from any payment required to be made pursuant thereto an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such exercise, settlement or payment.

(b) Stock Remittance

At the election of the Participant, subject to the approval of the Committee, whenever withholding tax obligations are incurred in connection with any Incentive Award, the Participant may tender to C&W a number of Ordinary Shares that have been owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value at the tender date determined by the Committee to be sufficient to satisfy the minimum federal, state and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such event. Such election shall satisfy the Participant’s obligations under Section 14(a) hereof, if any.

15.	Amendment or Termination of the Plan

The Board of Directors may at any time suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that to the extent that any applicable law, tax requirement, or rule of a stock exchange requires shareholder approval in order for any such revision or amendment to be effective, such revision or amendment shall not be effective without such approval. The preceding sentence shall not restrict the Committee’s ability to exercise its discretionary authority hereunder pursuant to Section 4 hereof, which discretion may be exercised without amendment to the Plan. No provision of this Section 15 shall be given effect to the extent that such provision would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no action hereunder may, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect in any material respect the Participant’s rights under any previously granted and outstanding Incentive Award. Nothing in the Plan shall limit the right of the Company to pay compensation of any kind outside the terms of the Plan.

16.	Recoupment

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company will be entitled to the extent (i) required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), (ii) permitted or required by Company policy as in effect on the date of grant and/or (iii) required by the rules of an exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed for trading to recoup compensation of whatever kind paid or to be paid by the Company at any time to a Participant under this Plan.

17.	No Obligation to Exercise

The grant to a Participant of an Incentive Award shall impose no obligation upon such Participant to exercise such Incentive Award.

18.

Transfers

Incentive Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of a Participant, only by the Participant; provided, however that the Committee may permit Options that are not incentive stock options to be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of, on a general or specific basis, subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may determine. Upon the death of a Participant, outstanding Incentive Awards granted to such Participant may be exercised only by the executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or by any Person or Persons who shall have acquired such right to exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution of any Incentive Award, or the right to exercise any Incentive Award, shall be effective to bind C&W unless the Committee shall have been furnished with (a) written notice thereof and with a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (b) an agreement by the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Incentive Award that are or would have been applicable to the Participant and to be bound by the acknowledgements made by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Incentive Award.

19.	Expenses and Receipts

The expenses of the Plan shall be paid by C&W. Any proceeds received by C&W in connection with any Incentive Award will be used for general corporate purposes.

20.	Failure to Comply

In addition to the remedies of the Company elsewhere provided for herein, failure by a Participant to comply with any of the material terms and conditions of the Plan or any Award Agreement, unless such failure is remedied by such Participant within ten days after having been notified of such failure by the Committee, shall be grounds for the cancellation and forfeiture of such Incentive Award, in whole or in part, as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, may determine.

21.	Relationship to Other Benefits

No payment with respect to any Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan.

22.	Governing Law

The Plan and the rights of all Persons under the Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of law principles.

23.	Severability

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

24.	Effective Date and Term of Plan

The Effective Date of the Plan is June 19, 2018. No grants of Incentive Awards may be made under the Plan after June 19, 2028, the tenth anniversary of the date upon which the Plan was approved.
