(e)In order to earn a Quarterly Performance Bonus under the Plan in respect of any Quarter, a Participant must remain employed by a member of the Company Group through and including the last day of the applicable Quarter.

7.    Performance Goals. Promptly after the end of each Quarter (but in any event within 60 days of the end of the Quarter) (such actual date, the “Certification Date”), the Committee shall certify the degree to which the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved or exceeded and the amount, if any, payable to each Participant hereunder subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

The Committee shall have full power and authority to construe and interpret this Plan and any interpretation by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and shall be accorded the maximum deference permitted by law.

(a)All rights and interests of the Participants under this Plan shall be non-assignable and nontransferable, and otherwise not subject to pledge or encumbrance, whether voluntary or involuntary, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business, whether by merger, stock sale, consolidation or otherwise, the Company may assign this Plan.

(b)Any payment to a Participant in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Company Group, and the Company may require that the Participant, as a condition precedent to such payment, execute a receipt and release to such effect.

(c)Payment of amounts due under the Plan shall be provided to the Participant in the same manner as the Participant receives his or her regular paycheck or by mail at the last known address of the Participant in the possession of the Company, at the discretion of Committee. The Company will deduct all applicable taxes and any other withholdings required to be withheld with respect to the payment of any award pursuant to this Plan.

Subject to the foregoing, the Plan shall terminate upon the satisfaction of all obligations of the Company or its successor entities hereunder.

(f)Nothing contained in this Plan shall in any way affect the right and power of any member of the Company Group to discharge any Participant or otherwise terminate his or her employment at any time or for any reason or to change the terms of his or her employment in accordance with the terms of his or her employment agreement, as applicable, in any manner.

(g)Except as otherwise provided under this Plan, any expense incurred in administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company.
