EX-99.1 · 10) Transferability

10)Transferability.

a) Except as provided in Section 10(b) below, no Award granted under this Plan shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during a Participant’s lifetime, Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only by the Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s legal incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal representative acting in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of the Participant under state law and court supervision.

b) The Committee may expressly provide in an Award Agreement (or an amendment to an Award Agreement) that a Participant may transfer such Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) to a spouse or lineal descendant (a “Family Member”), a trust for the exclusive benefit of Family Members, a partnership or other entity in which all the beneficial owners are Family Members, or any other entity affiliated with the Participant that may be approved by the Committee. Subsequent transfers of Awards shall be prohibited except in accordance with this Section 10(b). All terms and conditions of the Award, including provisions relating to the termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary, and the effect thereof, shall continue to apply following a transfer made in accordance with this Section 10(b).

c) Any Award made under this Plan may provide that all or any part of the Shares that are (i) to be issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, upon the payment in respect of Restricted Share Units or upon achievement of the Performance Objectives specified for Performance Shares or Performance Units, or (ii) no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 7 of this Plan, shall be subject to further restrictions upon transfer.

11)Adjustments. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, extraordinary cash dividend, combination or exchange of Shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company constituting an “equity restructuring” within the meaning of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Options, the Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments in (i) the number of remaining Available Shares, (ii) the number of Shares covered by outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units and Performance Shares granted hereunder, (iii) exercise and base prices per share applicable to such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, and (iv) kind of shares covered thereby (including shares of another issuer), as the Committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants. In the event of any merger, consolidation or any other corporate transaction or event having a similar effect, the Committee in its sole discretion may take any action described in the preceding sentence, and, moreover, it may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under this Plan such alternative consideration as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced. The Committee shall also make or provide for such adjustments in each of the limitations specified in Section 3 as the Committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be appropriate in order to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 11.

12)Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional Shares pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement thereof in cash.

13)Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under this Plan, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of all such taxes required or permitted to be withheld. In the absence of such prior arrangements, the Company shall withhold a portion of such benefit or delivery of Shares in payment of such taxes, except to the extent such withholding of Shares is prohibited by any covenants governing the Company’s debt as in effect from time to time.

14)Certain Termination Events, Hardship and Approved Leaves of Absence. In the event of termination of employment by reason of death, disability, normal retirement, or early retirement with the consent or agreement of the Company, or a leave of absence approved by the Company, or in the event of hardship or other special circumstances, of a Participant who holds (i) a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is not immediately and fully exercisable, (ii) any Restricted Shares as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, (iii) Restricted Share Units as to which the payment condition has not been satisfied, (iv) any Performance Shares or Performance Units that have not been fully earned, or (v) any Shares that are subject to any transfer restriction pursuant to Section 10(c) of this Plan, the Committee may in its discretion take any action that it deems to be equitable under the circumstances or in the best interests of the Company, including, without limitation, waiving or modifying any limitation or requirement with respect to any Award under this Plan.

15)Foreign Employees. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, or who are employed by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of the United States of America, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as then in effect, unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the shareholders of the Company.
