Notwithstanding the foregoing, any direct or indirect spin-off, split-off or similar transaction involving Company securities by any stockholder of the Company to its stockholders, including pursuant to a Permitted Spin Transaction (as defined in the Amended & Restated Operating Agreement of Newco LLC), shall not constitute a Change in Control. With respect to an Award that is subject to Section 409A and for which payment or settlement of the Award will accelerate upon a Change in Control, no event set forth herein will constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan unless such event also constitutes a “change in ownership,” “change in effective control,” or “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets” as defined under Section 409A.

Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, with respect to an Award that is subject to Section 409A where the payment or settlement of the Award will accelerate upon termination of employment as a result of the Participant’s Disability, no such termination will constitute a Disability for purposes of the Plan unless such event also constitutes a “disability” as defined under Section 409A.

“Performance Criteria” means the performance criteria upon which the Performance Targets for a particular Performance Period are based.

Performance Criteria may relate to the performance of the Company as a whole, a business unit, division, department, individual or any combination of these and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or relative to one or more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine.

To the extent not prohibited by applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Committee may, from time to time, delegate some or all of its authority under the Plan to a subcommittee or subcommittees thereof or other persons or groups of persons as it deems necessary, appropriate or advisable under such conditions or limitations as it may set at the time of such delegation or thereafter; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority, except to a subcommittee thereof, to make Awards to individuals whose compensation for such fiscal year may be subject to the limit on deductible compensation pursuant to Section 162(m). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person to whom authority has been delegated pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall make any Award to himself or herself or to any other person to whom authority to make Awards has been so delegated.

The individuals entitled to participate in the Plan shall be those Executive Officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries (excluding employees participating for the Plan Year in any other short-term incentive plan of the Company) who are selected by the Committee to receive an Award for the Plan Year.

(b)Participation. The Committee, in its discretion, shall select the persons who shall be Participants for the Performance Period. In the case of Awards intended to meet the requirements for qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), such selection shall be made no later than the Section 162(m) Determination Date. Only eligible individuals who are designated by the Committee to participate in the Plan with respect to a particular Performance Period may participate in the Plan for that Performance Period. An individual who is designated as a Participant for a given Performance Period is not guaranteed or assured of being selected for participation in any subsequent Performance Period.

7

(c)New Hires; Newly Eligible Participants. A newly hired or newly eligible Participant will be eligible to receive a Pro-rated Award. The amount of any Award paid to such Participant shall not exceed that proportionate amount of the Maximum Award set forth in the definition of “Maximum Award”.

(d)Leaves of Absence. If a Participant is on a leave of absence for a portion of a Performance Period, the Participant will be eligible to receive a Pro-rated Award reflecting participation for the period during which he or she was actively employed and not any period when he or she was on leave.

5. Terms of Awards

(a)Determination of Target Awards. Prior to, or reasonably promptly following the commencement of each Performance Period, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish the Target Award for each Participant, the payment of which shall be conditioned on the achievement of the Performance Targets for the Performance Period. In the case of Awards intended to meet the requirements for qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), such determination shall be made no later than the Section 162(m) Determination Date.

(b)Determination of Performance Targets and Performance Formula. Prior to, or reasonably promptly following the commencement of, each Performance Period, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish the Performance Targets for the Performance Period and shall prescribe a formula for determining the percentage of the Target Award which may be payable based upon the level of attainment of the Performance Targets for the Performance Period. The Performance Targets shall be based on one or more Performance Criteria, each of which may carry a different weight, and which may differ from Participant to Participant. In the case of Awards intended to meet the requirements for qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), all such actions shall be completed by no later than the Section 162(m) Determination Date, and the Performance Targets shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (subject to adjustments and modifications for specified types of events or circumstances approved by the Committee in advance, provided that no such adjustment shall be made if the effect would be to cause such Awards to fail to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)).

6. Payment of Awards

(a)Determination of Awards; Certification.

(i)Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Targets have been achieved or exceeded. If the minimum Performance Targets established by the Committee are not achieved, no payment will be made.

(ii)To the extent that the Performance Targets are achieved, the Committee shall determine, and in the case of Awards intended to meet the requirements for qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) shall certify in writing, the extent

8

to which the Performance Targets applicable to each Participant have been achieved and shall then determine the amount of each Participant’s Award.

(iii)In determining the amount of each Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of an Award by applying negative discretion if, in its sole discretion, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. In the case of Awards other than Awards intended to meet the requirements for qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), the Committee may also exercise its discretion to increase the amount of an Award to the extent that it believes that circumstances so warrant.

(iv)In no event shall the amount of an Award for any Plan Year exceed the Maximum Award.

(b)Form and Timing of Payment. Except as otherwise provided herein, as soon as practicable following the Committee’s certification pursuant to Section 6(a) for the applicable Performance Period, each Participant shall receive a cash lump sum payment of his or her Award, less required withholdings. In no event shall such payment be made later than the March 15 that immediately follows the Performance Period.

(c)Deferral of Awards. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to defer the payment of an Award that would otherwise be paid under the Plan. Any deferral election shall be subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

7. Termination of Employment

(a)Employment Requirement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b) and subject to a Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, if a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason prior to the date that Awards are paid, all of the Participant’s rights to an Award for the Performance Period shall be forfeited. However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay a Pro-rated Award, subject to the Committee’s certification that the Performance Targets for the Performance Period have been met. Such Pro-rated Award will be paid at the same time and in the same manner as Awards are paid to other Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, the Participant shall in all cases forfeit any Award not already paid.

(b)Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability. Unless a Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate states otherwise, if a Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of his or her death or Disability during a Performance Period or following a Performance Period but before the date that Awards are paid, the Participant or his or her beneficiary will be paid his or her Target Award (in the case of termination during a Performance Period) or the Award that would otherwise be payable if the Participant remained employed through the date that Awards are paid (in the case of termination following a Performance Period but before Awards were paid). In the case of a Participant’s Disability, the employment termination shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that the Committee determines that the Participant is Disabled. Payment of such Target Award or Award, as applicable, will be

9

made within sixty (60) days following the employment termination (in the case of termination during a Performance Period) or at the same time and in the same manner as Awards are paid to other Participants (in the case of termination following a Performance Period but before Awards were paid).

(c)Termination Without Cause, for Good Reason. Unless a Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate states otherwise, if a Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause (other than due to death or Disability) or for Good Reason during a Performance Period or following a Performance Period but before the date that Awards are paid, the Participant will be paid a Pro-rated Award (in the case of termination during a Performance Period) or the Award that would otherwise be payable if the Participant remained employed through the date that Awards are paid (in the case of termination following a Performance Period but before Awards were paid). Payment of such Pro-rated Award or Award, as applicable, will be made at the same time and in the same manner as Awards are paid to other Participants.

8. Change in Control

Unless a Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate states otherwise, if a Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason during the 12-month period following a Change in Control, the Participant will receive an amount equal to his or her Target Award for the year of termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days that have elapsed since the beginning of the Performance Period through and including the date of termination and the denominator of which equals the number of days in the Performance Period. Amounts paid pursuant to this Section 8 will be paid within sixty (60) days following the employment termination.

9. General Provisions

(a)Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Plan and the granting of Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.

(b)Tax Withholding. The Company or an Affiliate, as appropriate, shall have the right to deduct from all payments made to a Participant any applicable taxes required or permitted to be withheld (up to the maximum statutory tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction) with respect to such payments.

(c)Non-Transferability. A Participant’s rights and interests under the Plan, including any Award previously made to such Participant or any amounts payable under the Plan may not be assigned, pledged, or transferred, except, in the event of the Participant’s death, to a designated beneficiary in accordance with the Plan, or in the absence of such designation, by will or the laws of descent or distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order.

(d)No Right to Awards or Employment. No person shall have any claim or right to receive Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan, the grant of Awards under the Plan nor any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan shall be deemed to create or confer on any person

10

any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of such person at any time. No Award shall constitute salary, recurrent compensation or contractual compensation for the year of grant, any later year or any other period of time. Payments received by a Participant under any Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of employment‑related rights or benefits under any other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company and its Affiliates, unless otherwise specifically provided for under the terms of such plan or arrangement or by the Committee.

(e)Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may, at any time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, provided that no amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with Section 162(m) shall be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant to Awards allocated prior to such amendment.

(f)Unfunded Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary or legal representative or any other person. To the extent that a person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

(g)Section 162(m). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, or expressly provided herein, in the case of Awards intended to meet the requirements for qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) the provisions of this Plan shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with Section 162(m) to ensure the maximum deductibility by the Company of the payment of such Awards.

(h)Section 409A. It is intended that, except for payments which a Participant has elected to defer pursuant to Section 6(c), payments under the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of Section 409A. In the event that any Award does not qualify for treatment as an exempt short-term deferral, it is intended that such amount will be paid in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A. The Plan shall be interpreted and construed accordingly.

(i)Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding upon 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.

(j)Headings. The headings of Sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.

11

(k)Clawback. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, all Awards granted under the Plan and any payments made pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to clawback or recoupment as permitted or mandated by applicable law, rules, regulations or any Company policy as enacted, adopted or modified from time to time.

(l)Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan.

(m)Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with the laws of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law.
