Incentive awards are paid in cash unless the Committee has determined, in its sole discretion, at the time that the performance measures for the fiscal year are established that all or any part of an award shall be settled in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock or other equity award granted pursuant to any then-current equity compensation plan that has been approved by the Company’s shareholders. No Participant shall have any ability to influence the form of any payment (cash, stock, or equity award) under the Plan. The cash, stock or equity award payment, if any, for each performance period during the Plan year shall be paid or awarded as soon as practical after the end of the Plan year following final measurement of financial and/or operational performance for all of the performance period(s) within the fiscal year as well as the Committee’s evaluation of any individual contribution performance measures, if any, and overall incentive amounts have been approved by the Committee in October following fiscal year end, but in no event later than 2 ½ months after the end of the fiscal year (subject to any deferred compensation election pursuant to any such plans of the Company).
Any payment made under this Plan shall be subject to any employment and income tax withholding and other deductions as required by law.
6. Change in Control. In the event of a Corporate Transaction (as defined below), then the surviving or successor entity may continue, assume or replace awards outstanding under
the Plan as of the date of the Corporate Transaction, and such awards or replacements therefor shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms.
If and to the extent that outstanding awards under the Plan are not continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a Corporate Transaction, then the awards under the Plan shall fully vest immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, meaning that each performance measure is deemed to have been satisfied at the greater of target level of performance or actual level of performance (if determinable) and the vested portion of the award at that level of performance is proportionate to the portion of the performance period that has elapsed as of the effective time of the Corporate Transaction.
If and to the extent that awards under this Plan are continued, assumed or replaced, and participant experiences an involuntary termination of employment to the Company after the Change in Control but prior to the award’s payment, for reasons other than Cause, or, if applicable, terminates his or her employment for Good Reason (as defined in any then-effective written agreement between the participant and the Company, if any), then the awards under this Plan shall immediately vest in full, meaning that each performance measure is deemed to have been satisfied at the greater of target level of performance or actual level of performance (if determinable).

(1) An Exchange Act Person becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities, except that the following will not constitute a Change in Control: (A) any acquisition of securities of the Company by an Exchange Act Person from the Company for the purpose of providing financing to the Company; (B) any formation of a Group consisting solely of beneficial owners of the Company's voting securities as of the effective date of this Plan; or (C) any repurchase or other acquisition by the Company of its Voting
Securities that causes any Exchange Act Person to become the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the Company’s voting securities.
If, however, an Exchange Act Person or Group referenced in clause (A), (B) or (C) above acquires beneficial ownership of additional Company Voting Securities after initially becoming the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s Voting Securities by one of the means described in those clauses, then a Change in Control will be deemed to have occurred.
(2) Individuals who are Continuing Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the members of the Board of Directors.
(3) A Corporate Transaction is consummated, unless, immediately following such Corporate Transaction, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Company’s Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities of the surviving or acquiring entity resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including beneficial ownership through any parent of such entity) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Company's Voting Securities.

“Corporate Transaction” means (i) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (ii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction involving the Company, regardless of whether the Company is the surviving entity.
“Exchange Act Person” means any natural person, entity or Group other than (i) the Company or any affiliate; (ii) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any affiliate; (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities in connection with a registered public offering of such securities; or (iv) an entity whose Voting Securities are beneficially owned by the beneficial owners of the Company’s Voting Securities in substantially the same proportions as their beneficial ownership of the Company’s Voting Securities.

10. Nontransferability. Participants and beneficiaries shall not have the right to assign, encumber or otherwise anticipate the payments to be made under this Plan, and the benefits provided hereunder shall not be subject to seizure for payment of any debts or judgments against any participant or any beneficiary.
