MANAGEMENT STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Second Amendment and Restatement

     Effective as of May 19, 2005, Gibraltar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 3556 Lake Shore Road, Buffalo, New York (the “Company”) established the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) to enable the Company to grant awards of equity based compensation to its employees and to non-employee directors, consultants and service providers.

     In addition, effective as of May 19, 2005, the Company established the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) to set forth a uniform set of principals under which certain of the Company’s management employees would be permitted to purchase Restricted Stock Units which the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to the Omnibus Plan.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Omnibus Plan, the Plan is to be treated as an instrument evidencing the grant of an Award under the Omnibus Plan.

     Effective as of December 18, 2006, the Company adopted a First Amendment and Restatement of the Plan to permit the Company’s non-Employee Directors to elect to defer their receipt of their Director Fees and to have Restricted Stock Units credited to an Account established for their benefit under the Plan in lieu of their receipt of their Director Fees and to make certain other technical changes.

     The Company now desires to amend and restate the Plan, effective as of December 31, 2008, to permit the Company’s Eligible Employees to elect to defer receipt of their Base Salary and to have Restricted Stock Units credited to an Account established for their benefit under the Plan in lieu of their receipt of their Base Salary effective for Plan years beginning January 1, 2009 and thereafter, to provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the amount of the Bonus that can be deferred by an Eligible Employee, to provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the number of Matching Units to be credited to the Accounts established for the benefit of Eligible Employees, to conform the terms of the Plan to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and to make certain other technical changes.

     In connection with the foregoing, the Company hereby adopts the following as the Second Amendment and Restatement of the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan effective as of December 31, 2008.

ARTICLE 2.
OVERVIEW OF PLAN OPERATION

     2.01 General Description of Plan Operation. In general, the Plan will be operated in the manner described in this Section 2.01. The more specific provisions relating to the Plan and its operation are contained in the remaining Articles of this Plan.

          (a) Individual Employees will be selected for participation in the Plan by the Committee. The Committee will provide written notice to each Employee that is selected for participation on the Plan. Each non-Employee Director will, by virtue of such status, be eligible to participate in the Plan.

          (b) If an Employee is selected for participation in the Plan the Employee will be entitled to defer receipt of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Salary that the

Employee is entitled to receive and up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Bonus that the Employee is entitled to receive under the Annual Bonus Plan. The Maximum Deferral Percentage of each Employee that is selected for participation in the Plan will be specified in the written notice which is provided to the Employee of his selection for participation in the Plan. In addition, each Eligible Director will be entitled to defer up to one hundred percent (100%) of his Director Fees.

          (c) Due to applicable tax rules: (i) an Eligible Employee that elects to defer any portion of his Base Salary must file his election to defer any portion of his Base Salary with the Committee no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Base Salary which he is electing to defer will be paid; (ii) an Eligible Employee that elects to defer his receipt of payment of all or any portion of his Bonus must file his election to defer a portion of his Bonus with the Committee no later than June 30 of the calendar year in which he performs the services which will give rise to his entitlement to payment of the Bonus to be deferred; and (iii) an Eligible Director that elects to defer any portion of his Director Fees must file his election to defer any portion of his Director Fees with the Committee no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Director Fees which he is electing to defer will be paid.

          (d) If an Eligible Employee elects to defer his receipt of payment of a portion of his Base Salary, at the time his Base Salary is payable (which is in the calendar year following the calendar year in which he makes his election to defer his Base Salary), the portion of his Base Salary which he has elected to defer will not be paid to him and, instead, the Committee will, at the end of each calendar quarter, credit an Account which will be established for his benefit with a number of Restricted Units equal to the number of Shares he could have purchased using the portion of his Base Salary which was deferred for the calendar quarter at a price per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the end of the applicable calendar quarter.

          (e) If an Eligible Employee elects to defer his receipt of payment of all or any portion of his Bonus, at the time his Bonus is payable (which is in the calendar year following the calendar year in which he performs the services giving rise to his entitlement to payment of a Bonus), the portion of his Bonus which he has elected to defer will not be paid to him and, instead, the Committee will credit an Account which will be established for his benefit with a number of Restricted Units equal to the number of Shares he could have purchased using the deferred portion of his Bonus at a price per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date he receives (or would have received) payment of his Bonus.

          (f) If an Eligible Director elects to defer his receipt of payment of any portion of his Director Fees, on each date that he is entitled to payment of any portion of his Director Fees, whether attributable to Retainer Fees, fees for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, or any other fees, a portion (stated as a percentage) of his Director Fees which he has elected to defer will not be paid to him and, instead, the Committee will credit an Account which will be established for his benefit with a number of Restricted Units equal to the number of Shares he could have purchased using the deferred portion of his Director Fees at a price per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the

date Director Fee Deferral Units are to be allocated to the Director’s Account as provided for in the Deferred Director Fee Election Form.

          (g) In addition to the Base Salary Deferral Units that are credited, as described in (d) above, to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Employee, at the same time that Base Salary Deferral Units are credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account, the Committee will credit the Eligible Employee’s Account with an additional number of Restricted Units (Matching Units) which have an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date that Base Salary Deferral Units are credited to the Account of the Eligible Employee, equal to the total amount of the Base Salary which was deferred by the Eligible Employee during the calendar quarter which ends on the date that Base Salary Deferral Units are credited to the Participant’s Account, multiplied by the Matching Percentage applicable to the Eligible Employee’s deferral of his Base Salary. Similarly, in addition to the Bonus Deferral Units that are credited, as described in (e) above, to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Employee, at the same time that Bonus Deferral Units are credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account, the Committee will credit the Eligible Employee’s Account with an additional number of Restricted Units (Matching Units) which have an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date that Bonus Deferral Units are credited to the Account of the Eligible Employee, equal to the total amount of the Bonus which was deferred by the Eligible Employee multiplied by the Eligible Employee’s Matching Percentage.

          (h) In addition to the Director Fee Deferral Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Director as described in (f) above, at the same time that Director Fee Deferral Units are credited to such Eligible Director’s Account, the Committee will credit the Eligible Director’s Account with an additional number of Matching Units equal to the number of Retainer Fee Deferral Units, if any, credited to the Eligible Director’s Account.

          (i) The total value of the Restricted Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Employee will not be distributable to the Eligible Employee until the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated or, if earlier, the date a Change in Control occurs. However, if the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated before he has attained age sixty (60), the Matching Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account will be forfeited and the amount which is distributable to the Eligible Employee will only consist of an amount equal to the value of the Bonus Deferral Units and/or the Base Salary Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account.

          (j) The total value of the Restricted Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Director will not be distributable to the Eligible Director until the date on which the Eligible Director’s status as a member of the Board of Directors is terminated or, if earlier, the date a Change in Control occurs. However, if the Eligible Director’s status as a member of the Board of Directors is terminated before he has attained age sixty (60), the Matching Units credited to the Eligible Director’s Account will be forfeited and the amount which is distributable to the Eligible Director will only consist of an amount equal to the value of the Retainer Fee Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Director’s Account.

          (k) At the time a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution, the number of Restricted Units credited to the Participant’s Account (and not forfeited) will be converted (hypothetically and for accounting purposes only) to a cash amount equal to the total number of Restricted Units credited to the Participant’s Account (and not forfeited) multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share determined as of the date the Participant becomes entitled to a distribution. However, as indicated in Sections 2.01(i) and (j) above, if the Participant’s employment or status as a member of the Board of Directors is terminated before he has attained at least age sixty (60), the total number of Restricted Units which are credited to the Participant’s Account will not include any Matching Units.

          (l) If the Participant is entitled to a distribution because his employment has been terminated or his status as a member of the Board of Directors has been terminated, the cash value of the Participant’s Account will be distributed to the Participant in five (5) substantially equal annual payments beginning in the month of January following the date the Participant’s employment is terminated and continuing in each subsequent January thereafter until the full value of the Participant’s Account has been distributed. The installment payments required to be made to the Participant as described above in this Section 2.01(l) shall be paid in cash less applicable withholding taxes.

          (m) During the period between the date the Participant’s Account is converted to cash and the date the entire value of the Participant’s Account is distributed, the value of the Account shall be increased by interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate, compounded annually.

          (n) If a Participant is entitled to a distribution because a Change in Control has occurred, on the date such Change in Control occurs, each Participant shall be paid an amount, in one lump sum payment less applicable withholding taxes, equal to the total number of Restricted Units credited to the Participant’s Account multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share determined as of the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

     7.03 Allocation Does Not Vest Any Interest. The fact that Base Salary Deferral Units, Bonus Deferral Units, Director Fee Deferral Units and Matching Units have been allocated to the Account of a Participant shall not vest in such Participant or any Beneficiary any right, title or interest in any assets of the Company except at such time or times and upon the terms and conditions herein provided.

Shares distributed in respect of Awards made under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, Shares held in the treasury of the Company or Shares purchased by the Company on the open market at such time or times and in such manner as it may determine. The Company shall be under no obligation to issue or acquire Shares in respect of an Award made under the Plan before the time when delivery of Shares is due under the terms of the Award. The number of Shares available for distribution in respect of Awards made under the Plan shall be subject to the following limitations:

          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof, the aggregate number of Shares that may be distributed in respect of Awards made under the Plan shall be limited to two million two hundred fifty thousand (2,250,000) Shares.

          (b) Upon the grant of any Award, the overall aggregate number of Shares available for further Awards under the Plan, and if the Award so granted was in a form subject to a limitation on the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards in that form, the aggregate number of Shares available for further Awards under the Plan in that form, shall be reduced by the number of Shares subject to the Award so granted.

          (c) There shall be added back to the aggregate number of Shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan, as determined under (a) and (b) above, the following: (i) any Shares as to which an Option granted hereunder has not been exercised at the time of its expiration, cancellation or forfeiture; (ii) any Shares included in any other form of Award granted to an Eligible Person hereunder, to the extent that the person’s right to receive such Shares, or any cash payment in settlement of such Award, is forfeited; (iii) any Shares represented by Restricted Units granted hereunder as to which payment is made in cash instead of by the issuance and delivery of Shares; and (iv) any Shares subject to an Option granted hereunder, or covered by any other form of Award made hereunder, to the extent such Option or other Award is surrendered in exchange for any other Award made hereunder.

     3.02 Certain Adjustments to Shares. In the event of any change in the number of outstanding Shares of Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company resulting from any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of Shares, or any rights offering to purchase Shares of Common Stock at a price substantially below fair market value, or any similar change affecting the Shares of Common Stock: (a) the maximum aggregate number and kind of Shares specified herein as available for the grant of Awards, or for the grant of any particular form of Award, under the Plan; (b) the number and kind of Shares that may be issued and delivered to

Participants upon the exercise of any Option, or in payment with respect to any Award of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares, that is outstanding at the time of such change; (c) the number and kind of Shares represented by any Restricted Units, Performance Units, Rights or Dividend Equivalent Units that are outstanding at the time of such change; (d) the number of Shares represented by any Award of Rights; (e) the exercise price per share of any Options granted hereunder that are outstanding at the time of such change; and (f) the Base Price established with respect to any Rights granted hereunder that are outstanding at the date of such change, shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the Compensation Administration Committee, in its sole discretion, may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, the Participants hereunder.

     In the case of any outstanding Incentive Stock Option, any such change shall be made in the manner that satisfies the requirements that must be met under Section 424 of the Code in order for such change not to be treated as a “modification” of such Option as defined under Section 424 of the Code.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Article 3 above and to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, Options may be granted under the Plan to Eligible Persons for the purchase of such number of Shares, at such times and, upon such terms and conditions, as the Committee in its discretion may determine.

     4.02 Type of Options. Each Option granted hereunder shall be identified in the instrument evidencing such grant as either: (a) an Option intended to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option; or (b) an Option that shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

The period of time during which an Option may be exercised shall be such period of time as is determined by the Committee and specified in the instrument setting forth the terms of the Option Award; provided that, in no event may the period of time during which an Option may be exercised exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant of the Option. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, no Option may be exercised after its expiration.

     4.04 Exercise of Options. Each Option granted hereunder shall become exercisable, in whole or in part, at such time or times during its term as the instrument evidencing the grant of such Option shall specify. To the extent that an Option has become exercisable, it may be exercised thereafter, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to its expiration, as to any or all Shares as to which the Option has become and remains exercisable, subject to the provisions of Section 4.05 below.

     4.05 Termination of Service. Except as the instrument evidencing the grant of an Option may otherwise provide, the portion of any outstanding Option held by an Eligible Person on the date of his or her Termination of Service that has not become exercisable prior to such date, and the portion of such Option which was exercisable but had not been exercised prior to the date of the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service, shall be forfeited on such date.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee so determines, in its discretion, the instrument evidencing the grant of an Option may provide that the portion of the Option that is exercisable at the time of the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service will continue to be exercisable, and that the portion of such Option that is not exercisable at such time will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Option and remain exercisable thereafter, during such period of time after the date on which the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs (but not beyond the expiration of the term of the Option), in such circumstances and subject to such terms and conditions, as are specified in such instrument. However, to the extent that any Option granted hereunder to an Employee as an Incentive Stock Option is exercised more than three months after the date of such Employee’s Termination of Service for any reason other than Disability, or more than one year after such date if the Employee’s Termination of Service occurred because of Disability, the Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option for purposes of the Plan.

     4.06 Exercise Price and Method of Exercise. The price at which Shares may be purchased upon any exercise of an Option shall be the price per share determined by the Committee and specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of such Option; provided that, in no event shall the exercise price per Share be less than: (a) the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the Date of Grant of the Option; or (b), if greater, the par value of a Share.

     An Option shall be exercised by delivery of a written notice of exercise, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, to the Company at its principal business office and addressed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary or such other person as the Company’s Secretary may have designated to receive such notice. The notice shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. The notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price of the Shares for which the Option is being exercised, which payment shall be made under one or more of the methods of payment provided in Section 4.07 below.

     4.07 Payment. Payment of the exercise price for Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be made by one, or by a combination of any, of the following methods: (a) in cash, which may be paid by check or other instrument acceptable to the Company, or by wire transfer of funds, in each case in United States dollars; (b) if permitted by the Committee and subject to any terms and conditions it may impose on the use of such methods, by: (i) the delivery to the Company of other Shares owned by the Participant; provided that such shares have been owned by the Participant for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the

Company’s earnings; or (ii) the surrender to the Company of Shares that otherwise would have been delivered to the Participant upon exercise of the Option; (c) to the extent permissible under applicable law, through any cashless exercise sale and remittance procedure that the Committee in its discretion may from time to time approve; (d) to the extent permissible under applicable law and permitted by the Committee, by the execution by the Participant and delivery to the Company of a promissory note or other instrument evidencing the Participant’s agreement to pay part or all of the Option exercise price on a deferred or installment payment basis, upon such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, terms requiring Shares purchased upon the exercise of the Option to be pledged to the Company to secure payment of any outstanding balance of the option exercise price) as the Committee shall require; or (e) any other method of payment as the Committee may from time to time approve.

     For purposes of determining the portion of the exercise price payable upon the exercise of an Option that will be treated as satisfied by the delivery or surrender of Shares pursuant to clause (b) (i) or (ii) above, Shares so delivered or surrendered shall be valued at their Fair Market Value determined as of the business day next preceding the date on which the Option is exercised .

     4.08 Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following provisions:

          (a) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after February 9, 2015.

          (b) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and under all other stock option plans maintained by the Company are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Incentive Stock Options so exercisable shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For purposes of the foregoing, the Fair Market Value of Shares as to which any Incentive Stock Option may be exercised shall be determined as of the Date of Grant of such Option. The determination of whether the limitation set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.08(b) applies with respect to any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

          (c) No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an Employee if, as of the Date of Grant of such Option, such Employee owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, unless: (i) the exercise price per Share under such Option is at least 110% percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the Date of Grant of such Option; and (ii) such Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the Date of Grant of such Option. If an Option, designated as an Incentive Stock Option, is granted to an Employee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company and either the price per Share at which the Option is exercisable or the date on which the Option expires does not satisfy the limitations specified above, such Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

          (d) The instrument evidencing the grant of any Incentive Stock Option shall require that if any Shares acquired upon the exercise of such Option are disposed of within 2 years from the Date of Grant of such Option, or within one year from the date as of which the Shares disposed of were transferred to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of such Option, the Participant shall give the Company written notice of such disposition, within ten days following the date of such disposition.

     4.09 Other Option Provisions. The instrument evidencing the grant of any Option hereunder may contain such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or any applicable law, as the Committee may determine.

     4.10 Rights of a Shareholder. Upon the exercise by a Participant of an Option or any portion thereof in accordance with the Plan, the provisions of the instrument evidencing the grant of such Option and any applicable rules and regulations established by the Committee and the issuance to the Participant of a certificate representing the Shares with respect to which the Option has been exercised, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares issued as a result of such exercise. Prior to the issuance to a Participant of a certificate representing Shares issuable to the Participant upon his or her exercise of an Option, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.

ARTICLE 5.
RESTRICTED SHARES AND RESTRICTED UNITS

     5.01 Awards of Restricted Shares and Restricted Units. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article 3 and to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, Restricted Shares and Restricted Units may be granted to such Eligible Persons, at such times, and in such amounts, as the Committee may determine in its discretion. In addition to Awards of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units which may be made to any Eligible Person in recognition of services provided to the Company and its Affiliates or as an incentive for such Eligible Person to continue to contribute to the profitability and growth of the Company and its Affiliates, the Company has, effective as of May 19, 2005, adopted a framework under which a specific type of Restricted Unit Awards will be made, which framework is known as the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan (the “MSPP”). The MSPP is intended to be treated as an integral part of this Plan and provides for the granting of Awards of Restricted Units to Eligible Persons in consideration for and recognition of the agreement of such Eligible Persons to authorize the Company to credit Restricted Units to an account established for the benefit of such Eligible Persons under the MSSP in lieu of the payment to such Eligible Persons of a portion of the base salary and/or a portion of the annual incentive bonus (in the case of an Eligible Person that is an Employee) or all or part of the Director fees (in the case of an Eligible Person that is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors) which such Eligible Persons would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Company and its Affiliates. In this regard, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to grants of Restricted Shares and Restricted Units (as provided by Section 3.01(a)) shall be reduced by Awards of Restricted Shares and Restricted Units made to Eligible Persons under the terms of the MSPP.

     5.02 Restrictions and Restricted Period. At the time of each grant of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units to any Participant, the Committee shall establish a period of time within which the Restricted Shares or Restricted Units covered by such grant (and the Participant’s right to receive payment with respect to such Restricted Units) may not be sold, assigned, transferred (other than a transfer to the Participant’s Beneficiary occurring by reason of the Participant’s

death), made subject to gift, or otherwise disposed of, or mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law. The Committee in its discretion may prescribe a separate Restricted Period for any specified portion of the Restricted Shares or Restricted Units granted pursuant to any Award.

     5.03 Rights While Restricted Shares Remain Subject to Restrictions. Restricted Shares granted to a Participant hereunder may be issued to the Participant as of the Date of Grant as uncertificated shares or as Shares represented by a stock certificate bearing a legend or legends making appropriate references to the Restrictions. Until the Restrictions which apply to Restricted Shares lapse in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.05 below or Section 9.01(c), the Restricted Shares granted to a Participant which are not certificated shall be held in the Participant’s name in a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company and Restricted Shares granted to a Participant and represented by a stock certificate shall continue to bear the legend or legends making reference to the Restrictions. A separate account shall be maintained for all Restricted Shares granted to a Participant with a Restricted Period ending on the same date.

     Except for the Restrictions which apply to Restricted Shares, and subject to the forfeiture provisions applicable under Section 5.06 below, a Participant shall have, with respect to all Restricted Shares so held for his account, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including full voting rights with respect to such Shares and the right to receive currently with respect to the Participant’s Restricted Shares all dividends and other distributions payable generally on the Company’s Shares. If any dividends or distributions so payable are paid in Shares, the Shares paid as a dividend or distribution with respect to a Participant’s Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same Restrictions and provisions relating to forfeiture as apply to the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. Such stock dividend Shares shall themselves be treated as Restricted Shares, and shall be credited to the same account which the Company maintains for those Restricted Shares of the Participant with respect to which such stock dividends or distributions were paid.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the instrument evidencing the grant of any Restricted Shares to a Participant so provides, all cash dividends and distributions payable generally on the Company’s Shares that are otherwise payable with respect to the Restricted Shares granted to the Participant shall not be paid currently to the Participant but instead, shall be applied to the purchase of additional Shares for the Participant’s account. The additional Shares so purchased shall be subject to the same Restrictions and provisions relating to forfeiture as apply to the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. Such additional Shares shall themselves be treated as Restricted Shares, and shall be credited to the same account which the Company maintains for those Restricted Shares of the Participant with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid. The purchase of any such additional Shares shall be made in accordance with such other procedure as may be specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of the Restricted Shares on which such dividends are paid.

     5.04 Rights While Restricted Units Remain Subject to Restrictions. No Shares shall be issued at the time an award of Restricted Units is made. Except as provided in the following paragraph or otherwise provided by the instrument evidencing an Award of Restricted Units, a Participant that is the holder of an Award of Restricted Units shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to such Restricted Units. Restricted Units granted to a Participant

hereunder shall be credited to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for the Participant. A separate account shall be maintained for all Restricted Units granted to a Participant with a Restricted Period ending on the same date and for all Dividend Equivalent Units that are to be credited to such account in accordance with the next following paragraph.

     If any dividends or other distributions payable on the Company’s Shares are paid in Shares during any period that a Participant holds an Award of Restricted Units, as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, a number of additional Restricted Units shall be credited to each account established for the Participant to reflect the number of Restricted Units held by the Participant as of such Dividend Payment Date. The number of additional Restricted Units to be credited shall be determined by first multiplying: (a) the total number of Restricted Units standing to the Participant’s credit in such account on the day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date (including all Dividend Equivalent Units credited to such account on all previous Dividend Payment Dates); by (b) the per share dollar amount of the dividend paid on such Dividend Payment Date; and then, (c) dividing the resulting amount by the Fair Market Value of one Share on such Dividend Payment Date. Dividend Equivalent Units awarded pursuant to this paragraph to a Participant that holds an Award of Restricted Units shall have the same Restricted Period as the Restricted Units with respect to which such Dividend Equivalent Units have been awarded.

     5.05 Lapse of Restrictions and Payment. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period for any Restricted Shares or Restricted Units granted to a Participant hereunder but subject to the provisions of Section 5.06 below, the Restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units shall lapse, and payment with respect to such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) shall be made in accordance with the following provisions:

          (a) In the case of Restricted Shares, payment shall be made by delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for the number of such Restricted Shares, free and clear of all Restrictions to which such shares were subject. However, if the Restricted Shares with respect to which the applicable Restrictions have lapsed includes a fractional Share, payment for such fractional Share shall be made in cash, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share determined as of the date on which such Restrictions lapsed. Delivery of such stock certificate and any such cash payment shall be made to the Participant as soon as practicable following the lapse of the applicable Restrictions.

          (b) In the case of Restricted Units (including related Dividend Equivalent Units), payment shall be made: (i) in all cases other than Restricted Units issued in connection with the MSPP, by the issuance and delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for a number of Shares equal to the number of whole Restricted Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units with respect to which the applicable Restrictions have lapsed, and (ii) by payment in cash for any fractional Restricted Unit payable as a result of the lapse of such Restrictions, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Restricted Unit determined as of the date as of which such Restrictions lapsed. In the case of Restricted Units issued pursuant to the terms of the MSPP, payment shall be made, in cash, in an amount and at the time provided for in the MSPP. Issuance of certificates for Shares shall be made in such manner and at such time or times as provided in such instrument. Unless otherwise provided by the instrument evidencing a grant of Restricted Units, payment with respect to any part or all of a Participant’s Restricted Units

(including related Dividend Equivalent Units) may be deferred, at the Participant’s election, upon such terms and conditions as are specified by the Participant, in writing, subject to the restrictions on deferral of compensation contained in Code Section 409A.

     5.06 Termination of Service. Except as the instrument evidencing the grant of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units may otherwise provide, upon an Eligible Person’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period which is in effect for any Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) standing to his or her credit immediately prior to such Termination of Service, the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment with respect to such Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and Dividend Equivalent Units shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the date of such Termination of Service, and no payment of any kind shall be made with respect to such Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and Dividend Equivalent Units.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee so determines, in its discretion, the instrument evidencing the Award of such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units may provide that if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Restricted Period established for such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units as a result of the Eligible Person’s death, Disability or Retirement (but not for any other reason), payment will be made with respect to all or a Pro Rata Portion of such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units and any related Dividend Equivalent Units. In such case, only the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment with respect to any remaining portion of the Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) for which such Restricted Period was established shall be cancelled and forfeited. Any payment required to be made with respect to an Eligible Person’s Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) pursuant to this paragraph shall be made as soon as practicable after the date of such Eligible Person’s Termination of Service, and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 5.05.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.03 or of the above and notwithstanding the absence of the provisions of this paragraph from provisions of any instrument containing the provisions of an Award issued prior to the effective date of this Amendment and Restatement, if an Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs, for any reason, prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period which is in effect for an Award of Restricted Shares, the Eligible Person shall, upon such Termination of Service, be deemed to forfeit his right to all cash dividends received with respect to the portion of the Restricted Shares previously awarded to such Eligible Person with respect to which the Restrictions have not lapsed. In connection with the forfeiture by an Eligible Person of the cash dividends received by the Eligible Person with respect to the Restricted Shares previously awarded to the Eligible Person with respect to which the Restrictions have not lapsed, the Eligible Person shall be obligated to pay to the Company, no later than thirty (30) days following such Eligible Person’s Termination of Service, the amount of the dividends received by such Eligible Person which is deemed to be forfeited pursuant to the provision of the preceding sentence. In connection with the foregoing, if, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Committee has provided in the instrument evidencing the Award of Restricted Shares that the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment for all or a Pro Rata portion of the Restricted Shares will not be forfeited if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Restricted Period established for such Restricted Shares as a result of the Eligible Person’s death, Disability or Retirement (but not for any other reason), the

Eligible Person will not forfeit his right to all cash dividends received with respect to the portion of Restricted Shares as to which the Restrictions have not lapsed and such Eligible Person shall be entitled to retain all or a portion of such cash dividends.

     5.07 Notice of Code Section 83(b) Election. A Participant who files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in gross income the Fair Market Value of any Restricted Shares granted hereunder while such Shares are still subject to Restrictions shall furnish the Company with a copy of the election so filed by the Participant, within ten days of the filing of such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

ARTICLE 6.
PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS

     6.01 Awards of Performance Shares and Performance Units. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article 3 and to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Shares or Performance Units may be granted to such Eligible Persons, at such times, in such amounts, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Committee may determine in its discretion. Performance Shares and Performance Units shall be granted in accordance with the provisions set forth below.

     6.02 Establishment of Performance Goals and Performance Targets. In connection with each Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, the Committee shall establish in writing, and the instrument evidencing the grant of such Award shall specify: (a) the Performance Goal or Goals and the Performance Period that will apply with respect to such Award; (b) the level or levels of achievement of the Performance Goal or Goals that must be met in order for payment to be made with respect to the Award; (c) the number of Performance Shares that will be issued and delivered to the recipient of the Award, or the percentage of the Performance Units (and any related Dividend Equivalent Units) credited to the recipient in connection with the Award as to which payment will be made, if the Performance Goal or Goals applicable to such Award: (i) have been fully achieved; (ii) have been exceeded; or (iii) have not been fully achieved but have been achieved at or beyond any minimum or intermediate level of achievement specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of such Award; and (d) such other terms and conditions pertaining to the Award as the Committee in its discretion may determine. In connection with any such Award made to any Covered Executive, the matters described in the preceding sentence shall be established within such period of time as may be permitted by the regulations issued under Section 162(m) of the Code.

     6.03 Rights While Performance Shares Remain subject to Achievement of Performance Goals. Performance Shares granted to a Participant hereunder may be issued to the Participant as of the Date of Grant as uncertificated shares or as Shares represented by a stock certificate bearing a legend or legends making appropriate reference to the restrictions on transferability of such Performance Shares as hereinafter set forth. Until the Performance Period which applies to the Performance Shares expires, the Performance Shares granted to a Participant which are not certificated shall be held in the Participant’s name in a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company and Performance Shares granted to a Participant and represented by a stock certificate shall continue to bear the legend or legends making reference to the restrictions on transferability of such Performance Shares as hereinafter set forth.

          Until the Performance Period which applies to an award of Performance Shares

has expired, the Performance Shares shall not be sold, assigned, transferred (other than a transfer to the Participant’s Beneficiary occurring by reason of the Participant’s death), made subject to gift or otherwise disposed of, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law. A separate account shall be maintained for all Performance Shares granted to a Participant with a Performance Period ending on the same date.

     Except for the restrictions on transferability which apply to Performance Shares, and subject to the forfeiture provisions applicable under Section 6.10 below, a Participant shall have, with respect to all Performance Shares so held for his account, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including full voting rights with respect to such Shares and the right to receive currently with respect to the Participant’s Performance Shares, all dividends and other distributions payable generally on the Company’s Shares. If any dividends or distributions so payable are paid in Shares, the Shares paid as a dividend or distribution with respect to a Participant’s Performance Shares shall be subject to the same Performance Goals and provisions relating to forfeiture as apply to the Performance Shares with respect to which they were paid. Such stock dividend Shares shall themselves be treated as Performance Shares, and shall be credited to the same account which the Company maintains for those Performance Shares of the Participant with respect to which such stock dividends or distributions were paid.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the instrument evidencing the grant of any Performance Shares to a Participant so provides, all cash dividends and distributions payable generally on the Company’s Shares that are otherwise payable with respect to the Performance Shares granted to the Participant shall not be paid currently to the Participant but instead, shall be applied to the purchase of additional Shares for the Participant’s account. The additional Shares so purchased shall be subject to the same Performance Goals and provisions relating to forfeiture as apply to the Performance Shares, and shall be credited to the same account which the Company maintains for those Performance Shares of the Participant with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid. The purchase of any such additional Shares shall be made in accordance with such other procedure as may be specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of the Performance Shares on which such dividends are paid.

     6.04 Rights While Performance Units Remain Subject to Achievement of Performance Goals. No Shares shall be issued at the time an Award of Performance Units is made. Except as provided in the following paragraph or otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing an Award of Performance Units, a Participant that is the holder of an Award of Performance Units shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to such Performance Units. Performance Units granted to a Participant hereunder shall be credited to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for the Participant. A separate account shall be maintained for all Performance Units granted to a Participant with a Performance Period ending on the same date and for all Dividend Equivalent Units that are to be credited to such account in accordance with the following paragraph.

          If any dividends or other distributions payable on the Company’s Shares are paid in Shares during any period that a Participant holds an Award of Performance Units, as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, a number of additional Performance Units shall be credited to each account established for the Participant to reflect the number of Performance Units held by the Participant as of such Dividend Payment Date. The number of such additional

Performance Units to be credited shall be determined by first multiplying: (a) the total number of Performance Units standing to the Participant’s credit in such account on the day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date (including all Dividend Equivalent Units credited to such account on all previous Dividend Payment Dates); by (b) the per Share dollar amount of the dividend paid on such Dividend Payment Date; and then, (c) dividing the resulting amount by the Fair Market Value of one Share on such Dividend Payment Date. Dividend Equivalent Units awarded pursuant to this paragraph to a Participant that holds an Award of Performance Units shall have the same Performance Goals and Performance Period as the Performance Units with respect to which such Dividend Equivalent Units have been awarded.

     6.05 Performance Goals for Covered Executives. In the case of any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units to any Eligible Person who is a Covered Executive, the Performance Goal or Goals established in connection with such Award shall be based on one or more of the following business criteria, as determined by the Committee in its discretion: (a) the attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s after-tax or pretax return on stockholder’s equity; (b) the attainment of specified levels in the fair market value of the Company’s Shares; (c) the attainment of specified levels of growth in the value of an investment in the Company’s Shares, assuming that all dividends paid on the Company’s Common Stock are reinvested in additional Shares; (d) the attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s pre-tax or after-tax earnings, profits, net income, or earnings per share; (e) the attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); (f) attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s net sales, gross revenues or cash flow from operations; (g) the attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s working capital, or in its return on capital employed or invested; (h) the attainment of specified levels of, or decreases in, the Company’s operating costs or any one or more components thereof, or in the amount of all or any specified portion of the Company’s debt or other outstanding financial obligations; and (i) such other business performance criteria as may, from time to time, be established by the Committee in the instrument which contains the Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units.

     Any of the business criteria described in the preceding paragraph which the Committee establishes as a Performance Goal may be measured either by the performance of the Company and its Affiliates on a consolidated basis, or by the performance of any one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries, divisions, or other business units, as the Committee in its discretion may determine. In its discretion, the Committee may also establish Performance Goals, based on any of the business criteria described in this Section 6.05, that require the attainment of a specified level of performance of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or other business units, relative to the performance of other specified corporations, in order for such Performance Goals to be met.

     The Committee may also, in its discretion, include in any Performance Goal the attainment of which depends on a determination of the net earnings or income of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or other business units, provisions which require such determination to be made by eliminating the effects of any decreases in or charges to earnings for: (a) the effect of foreign currency exchange rates; (b) any acquisitions, divestitures, discontinuances of business operations, restructurings or other special charges; (c) the cumulative effect of any accounting changes; and (d) any “extraordinary items” as determined

under generally accepted accounting principles, to the extent that such decreases or charges referred to in clauses (a) through (d) of this paragraph are separately disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report for each fiscal year within the applicable Performance Period.

     6.06 Performance Goals for Non-Covered Executives. In the case of Awards of Performance Shares or Performance Units made hereunder to Eligible Persons who are not Covered Executives, the Performance Goal or Goals applicable to such Awards shall be such corporate or individual goals as the Committee in its discretion may determine.

     6.07 Measurement of Performance. At the end of the Performance Period established in connection with any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goal or Goals established for such Award have been met, and shall determine, on that basis, the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units included in such Award that have been earned and as to which payment will be made pursuant to Section 6.09 below, subject to the adjustments provide for in Section 6.08 and the forfeiture provisions of Section 6.10. In the case of any Award granted to a Covered Executive, unless the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which it has determined that the Performance Goal or Goals established by it for such Award have been met, the issuance of Performance Shares to the Covered Executive shall be subject to Section 162(m) of the Code.

     6.08 Adjustment of Award Amounts. The number of Shares issuable with respect to an Award on the basis of the level of attainment of the applicable Performance Goals as determined by the Committee under Section 6.07 shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following provisions:

          (a) To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan and if the instrument evidencing the Award so provides, the number of Shares otherwise issuable with respect to an Award to an Eligible Person who is not a Covered Executive may be increased or decreased to the extent determined by the Committee in its discretion, based on the Committee’s evaluation of the Eligible Person’s individual performance or to reflect such other events, circumstances or factors as the Committee in its discretion deems appropriate in determining the extent to which payment should be made with respect to the Eligible Person’s Award.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.08(a) above, the Committee shall not have any authority to increase the number of Shares otherwise issuable with respect to any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units to a Covered Executive. However, if the instrument evidencing an Award to a Covered Executive so provides, the Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the number of Shares otherwise issuable with respect to such Award: (i) to reflect any decreases in or charges to earnings that were not taken into account pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) of the last paragraph of Section 6.05 in determining net earnings or income for purposes of any Performance Goal established in connection with such Award; (ii) to reflect any credits to earnings for extraordinary items of income or gain that were taken into account in determining net earnings or income for such purposes; (iii) to reflect the Committee’s evaluation of the Covered Executive’s individual performance; or (iv) to reflect any other events, circumstances or factors which the Committee believes to be appropriate in determining the extent to which payment should be made with respect to the Covered Executive’s Award.

     6.09 Payment of Awards. Payment with respect to that number of Performance Shares or Performance Units subject to any Award which the Committee has determined under Section 6.07 above to have been earned, as adjusted to the extent determined by the Committee under Section 6.08, shall be made in accordance with the following provisions:

          (a) In the case of any such Performance Shares, payment shall be made by the issuance and delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for the requisite number of such Shares free of the legends making reference to restrictions on transferability of the Performance Shares provided for by this Plan. However, if the Performance Shares with respect to which payment is to be made include a fractional Share, payment of such fractional Share shall be made in cash, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share determined as of the end of the Performance Period. Such Shares shall be issued and delivered, and, if applicable, such cash payment shall be made, to the Participant as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period applicable to the Award in question.

          (b) In the case of Performance Units, (including related Dividend Equivalent Units), payment shall be made: (i) by the issuance and delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for a number of Shares equal to the total number of such whole Performance Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units; and (ii) by payment in cash for any fractional Unit in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Unit determined as of the day immediately preceding the date as of which payment is to be made. Payment shall be made in such manner and at such time or times as provided in such instrument. Unless otherwise provided by the instrument evidencing the grant of Performance Units, issuance of certificates for Shares with respect to any part or all of a Participant’s Performance Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) may be deferred, at the Participant’s election, upon such terms and conditions as are specified by the Participant, in writing, subject to the restrictions on deferral of compensation contained in Code Section 409A.

     6.10 Termination of Service. Except as the instrument evidencing the grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units may otherwise provide, upon an Eligible Person’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to the end of the Performance Period established for any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, such Award shall be cancelled, all Performance Shares or Performance Units included in such Award, and all Dividend Equivalent Units that were credited with respect to such Performance Shares or Performance Units, shall be forfeited, and no payment of any kind shall be made with respect to such Award.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee so determines, in its discretion, the instrument evidencing any such Award may provide that if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period established for such Award as a result of the Eligible Person’s death, Disability or Retirement (but not for any other reason), payment will be made at the end of the Performance Period, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.09, with respect to all or a Pro Rata Portion of the number of Shares and/or the amount of cash that otherwise would have been payable to the Eligible Person, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.07 and 6.08, if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service had not occurred prior to the end of such Performance Period. In such case, only the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment with respect to any remaining portion of the Performance Shares or Performance Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) included in such Award shall be cancelled and forfeited.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.03 above and notwithstanding the absence of the provisions of this paragraph from provisions of any instrument containing the provisions of an Award issued prior to the effective date of this Amendment and Restatement, if an Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs, for any reason, prior to the expiration of the Performance Period which is in effect for an Award of Performance Shares, the Eligible Person shall, upon such Termination of Service, be deemed to forfeit his right to all cash dividends received with respect to the portion of the Performance Shares previously awarded to such Eligible Person with respect to which the Restrictions have not lapsed. In connection with the forfeiture by an Eligible Person of the cash dividends received by the Eligible Person with respect to the Performance Shares previously awarded to the Eligible Person with respect to which the Restrictions have not lapsed, the Eligible Person shall be obligated to pay to the Company, no later than thirty (30) days following such Eligible Person’s Termination of Service, the amount of the dividends received by such Eligible Person which is deemed to be forfeited pursuant to the provision of the preceding sentence. In connection with the foregoing, if, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Committee has provided in the instrument evidencing the Award of Performance Shares that the Eligible Person shall have the right to receive payment for Performance Shares awarded to the Eligible Person if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period established for such Performance Shares as a result of the Eligible Person’s death, Disability or Retirement (but not for any other reason), the Eligible Person will not forfeit his right to all cash dividends received with respect to the portion of Performance Shares as to which the Restrictions have not lapsed and that such Eligible Person shall be entitled to retain all or a portion of such cash dividends.

     6.11 Notice of Code Section 83(b) Election. A Participant who files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in gross income the Fair Market Value of any Performance Shares granted hereunder while such Shares are still subject to achievement of Performance Goals shall furnish the Company with a copy of the election so filed by the Participant within ten (10) days of the filing of such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

If any dividends or other distributions payable on the Company’s Shares are paid in Shares during any period that a Participant holds an Award of Rights, as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, a number of additional Rights shall be credited to any account established for the Participant to reflect the number of Rights held by the Participant as of such Dividend Payment Date. The number of such additional Rights to be credited shall be determined by first multiplying: (a) the total number of Rights standing to the Participant’s credit in such account on the day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date (including all Dividend Equivalent Units credited to such account on all previous Dividend Payment Dates); by (b) the per share dollar amount of the dividend paid on such Dividend Payment Date; and then (c) dividing the resulting amount by the Fair Market Value of one Share on such Dividend Payment Date. Additional Rights awarded pursuant to this Section to a Participant that holds an Award of Rights shall be exercisable at the same time and upon the same terms as the Rights with respect to which such additional Rights are to be issued; provided that, the Base Price of such rights shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share, determined as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date.

     7.03 Termination of Service. Except as the instrument evidencing the grant of an Award of Rights may otherwise provide, upon an Eligible Person’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to the expiration of the Appreciation Period which is in effect for any Right (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) standing to his or her credit immediately prior to such Termination of Service, the Eligible Person’s right to exercise such Right shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the date of such Termination of Service, and no payment of any kind shall be made with respect to such Right and related Dividend Equivalent Units.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee so determines, in its discretion, the instrument evidencing the Award of such Right may provide that if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Appreciation Period established for such Right as a result of the Eligible Person’s death, Disability or Retirement (but not for any other reason), payment will be made with respect to all or a Pro Rata Portion of such Right and any related Dividend Equivalent Units. In such case, only the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment with respect to any remaining portion of the Right (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) for which such Appreciation Period was established shall be cancelled and forfeited. Any payment required to be made with respect to an Eligible Person’s Right (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) pursuant to this paragraph shall be made as soon as practicable after the date of such person’s Termination of Service, and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 7.04.

     7.04 Payment of Awards. In the case of Rights, (including related Dividend Equivalent Units), payment shall be made: (a) by the issuance and delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the Rights are exercised equal to: (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares used as the basis for determining the value of the Rights being exercised, determined as of the date the Rights are

exercised; minus (ii) the aggregate Base Price in effect for the Rights being exercised; and (b) by payment in cash for any fractional Shares which would be issued using the formula contained in (a) above. Issuance of certificates for Shares shall be made in such manner and at such time or times as provided in such instrument. Unless otherwise provided by the instrument evidencing the grant of Rights, issuance of certificates for Shares with respect to any part or all of a Participant’s Rights (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) may be deferred, at the Participant’s election, upon such terms and conditions as are specified by the Participant, in writing, subject to the restrictions on deferral of compensation contained in Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE 8.
TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

     8.01 Restrictions on Transfers. Except as otherwise provided by Section 8.02 below: (a) any Option granted to an Eligible Person under the Plan shall be nontransferable and may be exercised during the Eligible Person’s lifetime only by the Eligible Person; (b) any Restricted Shares, Restricted Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Rights granted to an Eligible Person under the Plan shall not be transferrable by the Eligible Person during his or her lifetime; and (c) a Participant’s right to receive payment of Shares or cash with respect to any Award granted to the Participant under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant.

     8.02 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.01 above, if the instrument evidencing the grant of any Award other than an Incentive Stock Option so provides, the recipient of such Award may transfer his or her rights with respect to such Award, or any portion thereof, to any “family member” of the recipient, as that term is defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to such limitations, terms and conditions as may be specified in such instrument.

ARTICLE 9.
EFFECTS OF CHANGE IN CONTROL

     9.01 Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise provided in the Merger Sale Agreement entered into by the Company in connection with a Change in Control, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply:

          (a) Each Option outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date on which the Change in Control occurs shall be converted to a right to receive an Option Cash Out Payment. Payment of the Option Cash Out Payment shall be made to the holder of the Option in one lump sum payment, less applicable withholding taxes, on the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

          (b) Each Right outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date on which the Change in Control occurs shall be converted to a right to receive the Right Cash Out Payment. Payment of the Right Cash Out Payment shall be made to the holder of the Right in

one lump sum payment, less applicable withholding taxes, on the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

          (c) The Restricted Periods applicable to all Restricted Shares and Restricted Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) granted to a Participant hereunder that are still outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date on which such Change in Control occurs shall expire on such date; all Restrictions applicable to such outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units shall lapse on such date; and the Participant’s rights to receive delivery or payment with respect to all such outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units shall become nonforfeitable as of such date. Payment with respect to such outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units shall be made on the date the Change in Control occurs. Unless the Committee determines that payment with respect to Restricted Shares and Restricted Units is to be made in the form of a cash payment instead of the issuance and delivery of Shares, the Company shall take whatever steps are necessary to cause all such Restricted Shares and Shares attributable to Restricted Units to be issued to the applicable Participants, and to be treated as outstanding, as of the date the Change in Control occurs.

          (d) The Performance Periods applicable to all Performance Shares and Performance Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) granted to a Participant hereunder that are still outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date on which such Change in Control occurs shall end on such date; all Performance Goals that were established in connection with the Award of such Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be deemed to have been satisfied in full as of such date; the number of Performance Shares or the percentage of the Performance Units as to which payment is to be made in the event the Performance Goal or Goals applicable to the Award of such Shares or Units are met at the targeted level of performance, as specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of such Award, shall be deemed to be earned in full as of such date; and the Participant shall acquire on such date a nonforfeitable right to receive payment with respect to such number of Performance Shares (including any cash payment for dividends payable thereon, if the instrument evidencing the grant of such shares provides for such cash payment), or with respect to such percentage of the Performance Units (and any related Dividend Equivalent Units), determined without any adjustment under Section 6.09(a) or (b). Payment with respect to such Performance Shares, Performance Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units shall be made on the date the Change in Control occurs. Unless the Committee determines that payment with respect to such Performance Shares and Performance Units is to be made in the form of a cash payment instead of by the issuance and delivery of Shares, the Company shall take whatever steps are necessary to cause all such Performance Shares and Shares attributable to Performance Units to be issued to the applicable Participants, and to be treated as outstanding, as of the date the Change in Control occurs.

     9.02 Substitution of New Awards. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01, if provided for by a Merger Sale Agreement entered into in connection with a Change in Control, the rights of Participants under any Awards outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Change in Control shall be honored or assumed or new rights issued therefor by the entity which survives the Change in Control (each such honored, assumed or substituted option being hereinafter an “Alternative Award”); provided that, any such Alternative Award satisfies the

following criteria:

          (a) the Alternative Award must be based on stock which is traded on an established securities market, or which will be so traded within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control;

          (b) the Alternative Award must provide the Participant with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions applicable under such Award, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise schedule; and

          (c) the Alternative Award must have economic value substantially equivalent to the value of such Award (determined at the time of the Change in Control).

ARTICLE 10.
COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A

     10.01 In General. This Article 10 is intended to comply with final regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A. It is effective January 1, 2009 and shall govern notwithstanding any contrary provision elsewhere in the Plan or in any instrument pursuant to which an Award is granted under the Plan (an “Award Instrument”).

     10.02 409A Excluded Stock Rights. All Non-Qualified Stock Options and Rights awarded under the Plan are intended not to provide for the deferral of compensation, in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(A) and (B) (said Awards are hereinafter referred to as “409A Excluded Stock Rights”), except where an Award Instrument states explicitly that the Award is intended to provide for a deferral of compensation (such Award is hereinafter referred to as a “409A Non-Excluded Stock Right”). Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed, and may be amended, in such manner as will ensure that 409A Excluded Stock Rights remain excluded from the application of Code Section 409A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

          (a) no 409A Excluded Stock Right shall be awarded with an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant where Fair Market Value is determined in a manner permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv);

          (b) no 409A Excluded Stock Right shall be modified, extended or exchanged for a new Award if such modification, extension or exchange would cause the 409A Excluded Stock Right to become (or be replaced by) a 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right or other Award that is subject to Code Section 409A;

          (c) a 409A Excluded Stock Right shall expire no later than its original expiration date and, if a Excluded Stock Right would expire after its original expiration date, because the Participant has died or otherwise become unable to exercise the Stock Right due to a mental or physical disability, the Stock Right shall be deemed exercised by the owner thereof on the day preceding its original expiration date if the then Fair Market Value of the Common Stock exceeds the exercise price;

          (d) any extension of a 409A Excluded Stock Right, whether pursuant to a provision of the Plan or an exercise of Committee discretion, shall not extend the term of the Award beyond the earlier of (i) the original expiration date stated in the Award Instrument, or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the Award;

          (e) no 409A Excluded Stock Right shall permit the deferral of compensation beyond the date of exercise;

          (f) no dividends shall be paid or credited on a 409A Excluded Stock Right that would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of the 409A Excluded Stock Right below Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant in violation of Code Section 409A and the Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(E); and

          (g) any Common Stock, cash or other consideration to be transferred to the Participant in connection with the exercise of the 409A Excluded Stock Right shall be transferred as soon as practicable and in all events within 30 days following the exercise date and the Participant shall have no right to determine the calendar year in which such transfer occurs.

     10.03 409A Non-Excluded Stock Rights. If an Award Instrument states explicitly that the Non-Qualified Stock Option or the Right granted thereunder is intended to provide for a deferral of compensation in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(C) (such Award is hereinafter referred to as “409A Non-Excluded Stock Right”), the Award Instrument shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid inclusion of the Award in the Participant’s gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code and the Plan and Award Instrument shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder so as to avoid the inclusion of the Award in gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

          (a) the Award Instrument shall specify that the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right will expire on the last day of the calendar year in which the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right becomes exercisable, and that any Common Stock, cash or other consideration to be transferred to the Participant in connection with the exercise of the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right shall be transferred to the Participant on or before March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right becomes exercisable;

          (b) the date on which the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right becomes exercisable may not be accelerated except as may be permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j); and

          (c) in the case of a 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right that becomes exercisable as a result of the separation from service of a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) as applied by the Company, no Common Stock, cash or other consideration shall be transferred to the Participant in connection with the exercise of the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right until the day following the 6-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service.

     10.04 409A Excluded Current Property Transfers. Restricted Shares and Performance Shares (“Current Property Transfers”) awarded under the Plan are intended not to provide for the deferral of compensation, in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(6) (said Awards are hereinafter referred to as “409A Excluded Current Property Transfers”), unless the Award Instrument states explicitly that the Award is intended to provide for a deferral of compensation (such an Award is hereinafter referred to as “409A Non-excluded Current Property Transfer”). Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed, and may be amended, to ensure that 409A Excluded Current Property Transfers remain excluded from the application of Code Section 409A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award Instrument shall provide for or permit the deferral of compensation resulting from a 409A Excluded Current Property Transfer beyond the date on which the 409A Excluded Current Property Transfer would otherwise become includable in gross income in accordance with the rules of Code Section 83 (or would have become includable but for the exercise of an election under Code Section 83(b)).

     10.05 409A Non-Excluded Current Property Transfers. If, under the terms of an Award Instrument, a Current Property Transfer would be deemed to be a deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code (such Award is hereinafter referred to as “409A Non-Excluded Current Property Transfer”), the Award Instrument shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid inclusion of the Award in the Participant’s gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code and the Plan and Award Instrument shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder so as to avoid the inclusion of the Award in gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

          (a) the Award Instrument shall specify one or more dates or events permitted under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A) at which time the Award will be settled in cash or vested property;

          (b) the Award Instrument shall specify the manner in which the Award will be paid (e.g., lump sum or installments) and the dates on or periods within which payment will occur;

          (c) the date of settlement of the Award shall not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j); and

          (d) in the case of a 409A Non-excluded Current Property Transfer that becomes payable as a result of the separation from service of a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) as applied by the Company, no cash or property shall be paid to the Participant in connection with the settlement of the Award until the day following the 6-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service.

     10.06 409A Excluded Future Property Transfers. Any Awards permitted under the Plan other than those referred to in Sections 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 and 10.05 including, but not limited to, Restricted Units and Performance Units (“Future Property Transfers”), are intended not to provide for the deferral of compensation, in accordance with the short-term deferral rule set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) (said Awards are hereinafter referred to as “409A Excluded

Future Property Transfers”) unless the terms of the Award Instrument, the Future Property Transfer would be deemed to result in a deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code (such an Award is hereinafter referred to as a “409A Non-excluded Future Property Transfer”). Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed, and may be amended, to ensure that 409A Excluded Future Property Transfers remain excluded from the application of Code Section 409A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Award Instrument shall provide (or shall be construed to provide) that a 409A Excluded Future Property Transfer must be settled in cash or vested property on or before March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the 409A Excluded Future Property Transfer ceased to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4).

     10.07 409A Non-excluded Future Property Transfers. If, under the terms of an Award Instrument, a Future Property Transfer would be deemed to result in a deferral of compensation in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) (“409A Non-excluded Future Property Transfer”), the Award Instrument shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid inclusion of the Award in the Participant’s gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code and the Plan and Award Instrument shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder so as to avoid the inclusion of the Award in gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

          (a) the Award Instrument shall specify one or more dates or events permitted under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A) at which time the Award will be settled in cash or vested property;

          (b) the Award Instrument shall specify the manner in which the Award will be paid (e.g., lump sum or installments) and the dates on or periods within which payment will occur;

          (c) the date of settlement of the Award shall not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j); and

          (d) in the case of a 409A Non-excluded Future Property Transfer that becomes payable as a result of the separation from service of a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) as applied by the Company, no cash or property shall be paid to the Participant in connection with the settlement of the Award until the day following the 6-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service.

     10.08 Authority To Amend Plan And/Or Award Instrument. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the date of this Plan amendment), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or the applicable Award Instrument as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (1) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (2) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

     10.09 Protection of the Committee and Others. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10, neither the Company, nor any officer, employee, director or agent of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, nor any member of the Committee, shall have any liability to any Participant on account of an Award hereunder being taxable under Code Section 409A regardless of whether such person could have taken action to prevent such result and failed to do so. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and defend any officer, employee, director or agent of the Company or of any affiliate of the Company, and any member of the Committee, from any claim based on an Award becoming taxable under Code Section 409A resulting from such person’s action taken, or action failed to be taken, in connection with the Plan or any Award Instrument.

ARTICLE 11.
ADMINISTRATION

     11.01 Administration of the Plan. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the Plan shall be administered by: (i) the Board of Directors, with respect to all matters pertaining to Awards that may be granted or that have been granted hereunder to any Director that is an Eligible Person; (ii) by the Compensation Committee, with respect to all matters pertaining to Awards that may be made or that have been made to Employees, except as otherwise provided in (iii); and (iii) by the Compensation Administration Committee, with respect to those specific matters pertaining to Awards to Employees who are not Executive Officers that are within the scope of the authority granted to the Compensation Administration Committee under Section 10.05 below or delegated by the Compensation Committee to the Compensation Administration Committee pursuant to Section 10.02 below.

          (b) No Covered Individual shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan. The Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, indemnify and hold each Covered Individual harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney fees) or liability (including any amount paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan or any Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification such individuals may have under applicable law or under the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company.

     11.02 The Committee’s Power and Authority. In addition to the responsibilities and powers assigned to the Committee elsewhere in the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to establish, from time to time, guidelines or regulations for the administration of the Plan, to interpret the Plan, and to make all determinations it considers necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, actions or interpretations of the Committee under the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties.

          The Committee may designate Employees of the Company and professional advisors to assist the Committee in its administration of the Plan and may grant authority to Employees of the Company to execute agreements or other documents on behalf of the

Committee in connection with the administration of the Plan. The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any advice and any computation received from any such counsel, consultant or agent. The Company shall pay all expenses and costs incurred by the Committee for the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent.

     11.03 Modification of Awards. (a) To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan or any provision of applicable law (including, but limited to Code Section 409A), the Committee, in its discretion, may waive or modify any of the terms and conditions set forth in the instrument evidencing the grant of any Award made to a Participant hereunder, including without limitation: (i) in the case of any Option, to permit such Option to become exercisable as to any portion of the Shares subject to the Option at any time earlier than the time specified in such instrument, to extend the term of such Option beyond the date specified in such instrument as the expiration date for the term of the Option (but not beyond the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant of the Option), or to permit such Option, to the extent it has become or becomes exercisable, to remain exercisable for any period of time (including any period after the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service for any reason) beyond the period of time specified in such instrument but not beyond the date of expiration of the Option, including any extension thereof permitted under this clause (a); (ii) in the case of any Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units, to cause the Restricted Period applicable to such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) to expire, and the Restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units to lapse, as of any date earlier than the date provided for in such instrument; (iii) in the case of any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units), to cause the Performance Period applicable to such Performance Shares or Performance Units to expire and to treat the Performance Goal or Goals established with respect to such Performance Shares or Performance Units as having been met, in full or in part; and (iv) in the case of any Award of Rights (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units), to cause the Appreciation Period applicable to such Rights to expire as of any date earlier than the date provided for in such instrument.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no waiver or amendment may be authorized or directed by the Committee pursuant to this Section 10.03 without the consent of the Participant if: (i) it would adversely affect, to any material extent, any of the rights or obligations of the Participant with respect to such Award; or (ii) in the case of any Option granted hereunder that was intended to constitute an Incentive Stock Option, if such waiver or amendment would cause such Option to fail to be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. In addition, no such waiver or amendment may be authorized or directed by the Committee pursuant to this Section 10.03 with respect to any Option, Restricted Shares or Restricted Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units or Rights awarded to any Covered Executive, if such waiver or amendment would cause the delivery of Shares or the payment of any cash amounts that are made with respect to such Award to fail to be deductible for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

     11.04 Power and Authority of the Compensation Administration Committee. With respect to such number of Shares as the Compensation Committee may in its discretion

determine to be available from time to time for the grant of Awards in any form to Employees who are not Executive Officers, the Compensation Administration Committee shall have the authority: (a) to determine which of such Employees shall receive Awards in each form; (b) to determine the time or times when Awards in such form shall be made to such Eligible Employees; (c) to determine the number of Shares that will be subject to any Option, or the number of Restricted Shares, Restricted Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units or Rights, to be included in any Award to any such Employee; (d) with respect to any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units made to any such Employees, to make all determinations which the Committee is authorized to make with respect to such Award under the provisions of Section 6.02, Section 6.07 and Section 6.09(a); and (e) with respect to any Awards made to any such Employees pursuant to the Compensation Administration Committee’s exercise of the authority granted to it under this Section 10.04, to exercise all of the authority and powers granted to the Committee under Section 10.02 above and under the second paragraph of Section 10.05 below, but only to the extent that any such exercise by the Compensation Administration Committee is not inconsistent with any action taken by the Compensation Committee, or with any determination, decision or interpretation of the Plan made by the Compensation Committee, under Section 11.02 above or any delegation made by the Compensation Committee under the second paragraph of Section 11.05 below.

     Except for the matters specified in the foregoing paragraph and any additional matters pertaining to Awards to Employees who are not Executive Officers with respect to which authority has been granted to the Compensation Administration Committee pursuant to this Section 11.04, the Compensation Administration Committee shall not have any of the authority or powers otherwise granted to the Compensation Committee under any other provisions of the Plan.

     The Compensation Committee in its discretion may at any time, by resolution duly adopted by it and without any amendment of the Plan, revoke or modify in any manner or respect the authority and powers granted to the Compensation Administration Committee under this Section 11.04.

     11.05 Delegation. In addition to the authority and powers granted to the Compensation Administration Committee under Section 11.04 above, the Compensation Committee in its discretion may, by resolution duly adopted by it, delegate to the Compensation Administration Committee authority with respect to such other matters pertaining to Awards to Employees who are not Executive Officers as the Compensation Committee may specify in such resolution. Any authority so delegated to the Compensation Administration Committee may be revoked or modified by the Compensation Committee, in whole or in part, at any time.

     The Committee may delegate any ministerial or nondiscretionary function pertaining to the administration of the Plan to any one or more officers or other employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

     11.06 Non-U.S. Participants. In order to comply with any applicable provisions of local law and regulations in any foreign country in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates, the Committee may in its sole discretion: (a) modify the terms and conditions of Awards granted under the Plan to Eligible Persons located in such foreign country; (b) establish

subplans with such modifications to the terms of the Plan as it determines to be necessary or appropriate under the circumstances applicable in such foreign country; or (c) take any other action that it deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with, or obtain any exemptions from the applicability of, the local laws and regulations in such foreign country.

     11.07 Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant shall file with the Committee, or with such Employee of the Company who has been designated by the Committee to receive same, a written designation of one or more persons as the Beneficiary who shall be entitled to receive any Shares or cash amount payable with respect to any Award upon or after the Participant’s death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his or her Beneficiary designation without the consent of any previously designated Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee or its designee. The last such designation received by the Committee or its designee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If at the date of a Participant’s death, there is no designation of a Beneficiary in effect for the Participant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.07, or if no Beneficiary designated by the Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof survives to receive any Shares or cash amount payable under the Plan with respect to the Participant after his or death, the Participant’s estate shall be treated as the Participant’s Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan.

     11.08 Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company and each of its Affiliates may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the exercise of any Option or with respect any payments to be made in respect of any other form of Award granted to a Participant under the Plan, including but not limited to: (a) deducting the amount of taxes so required to be withheld from any other compensation or other amounts then or thereafter payable to the Participant, and/or (b) withholding delivery of any Shares or payment of any cash amount otherwise required to be delivered or paid to the Participant with respect to the exercise of such Option, or with respect to such other form of Award, until the amount of taxes so required to be withheld has been paid in full to the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies. With the approval of the Compensation Committee and subject to such terms and conditions as it may require, such amount may be paid in Shares previously owned by the Participant, or by the surrender of a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be delivered or paid to such Participant with respect to his or her Award, or by a combination of payments in cash and Shares.

     11.09 Amendment or Termination. The Board of Directors may, with prospective or retroactive effect, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, however, that: (a) no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the Participant’s written consent, adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Awards previously granted to the Participant; and (b) no amendment which constitutes a “material revision” of the Plan, as the term material revision is defined in the applicable NASDAQ rules, shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company in the manner required by such rules and by applicable law.

     11.10 Participant Rights Unsecured. A Participant shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to his or her right to receive any cash payment provided for by the instrument containing the terms of any Award made pursuant to the Plan. The Plan and the instrument containing the terms of any Award providing for the payment of cash shall constitute a mere promise by the Company to make payments in the future of the benefits provided for therein. It is intended that the arrangements reflected in the Plan be treated as unfunded for tax purposes, as well as for purposes of any applicable provisions of Title I of ERISA.

     11.11 Terms of Employment Not Affected. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted to a Participant hereunder or any other action taken in connection with the Plan shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates. In addition, the Plan, any Award granted to a Participant hereunder and any other action taken by the Committee pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed or construed to interfere with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate a Participant’s employment or service at any time subject, however, to the Participant’s rights under any employment contract in effect between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates.

     No Award made to a Participant under the Plan, and no payment made with respect to such Award, shall be considered as compensation or wages payable to the Participant for purposes of determining the amount of contributions or benefits the Participant may be entitled to receive under any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates, except as specifically provided in such plan or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.

     11.12 Successors. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor Company or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor Company or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate provision for the preservation of Participants’ rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.

     11.13 Binding Effect. The provisions of the Plan and the terms and conditions contained in the instrument evidencing any Award made to a Participant hereunder shall be binding upon the Participant, his or her successors and permitted transferees.

     11.14 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of law principles.

     11.15 Effective Date. The initial adoption of the Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on November 30, 2004, and by the stockholders of the Company on May 19, 2005. This amendment and restatement was approved by the Board of Directors on November 5, 2008 and, upon execution by an authorized officer of the Company, shall be effective as of December 31, 2008, and shall supercede the provisions of the Plan as in effect immediately prior to such date.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Gibraltar Industries, Inc. has caused this Plan to be executed as of the 30th day of December, 2008.

GIBRALTAR INDUSTRIES, INC.

By /s/ Paul M. Murray           

Exhibit 10.3

Omnibus Code Section 409A Compliance Policy

GIBRALTAR INDUSTRIES, INC. and its Affiliates (the “Company”) hereby adopts this Code Section 409A Compliance Policy (“Policy”) to be effective January 1, 2009.

WHEREAS the Company has adopted and will in the future adopt various compensation agreements, policies and plans (“Arrangements”) that are or may constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation plans” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and

WHEREAS Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder require that all Arrangements that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation plans” within the meaning of Code Section 409A be in writing and compliant with Code Section 409A and the Regulations no later than December 31, 2008, and

WHEREAS the Company intends for this Policy to supplement the terms of each of its Arrangements, whether or not the Arrangement is otherwise in written form,

NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with its authority to amend each Arrangement and/or its authority to impose unilaterally rules governing how it will administer each Arrangement, the Company hereby declares that each Arrangement in existence on December 31, 2008 shall be deemed amended effective December 31, 2008, and each Arrangement not in existence on December 31, 2008 shall be deemed amended when such Arrangement comes into existence (provided, however, that this Policy shall not amend any Grandfathered Arrangement) as follows:

1. Definitions.

     1.1. “Affiliate” means any entity that, with Gibraltar Industries, Inc., forms part of a controlled group of corporations or group of trades or businesses under common control within the meaning of Code Section 414(b) or (c). Accordingly, an Affiliate may be any corporation or other entity that is 80 percent or more owned directly or indirectly by Gibraltar Industries, Inc.

     1.2. “Arrangement” means any plan, agreement, policy or other arrangement that provides for the payment of Compensation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Arrangement may include a generally applicable Compensation plan or policy, an individual employment agreement, a change in control agreement or an equity compensation plan.

     1.3. “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended.

     1.4. “Company” means Gibraltar Industries, Inc. and its Affiliates.

     1.5. “Compensation” means “compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 61(a)(1) payable to an Employee who is a United States (“US”) citizen or US resident alien subject to US income tax with respect to the Compensation.

     1.6. “Deferred Compensation” means Compensation that is payable at a time and in a manner that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(1) or another section of the Regulations

     1.7. “Employee” means an employee or former employee of the Company.

     1.8. “Grandfathered Arrangement” means an Arrangement to the extent that the Arrangement provides for payment of Deferred Compensation that is not subject to Code Section 409A because the Deferred Compensation payable thereunder was accrued and vested before January 1, 2005 and the terms of the Arrangement regarding the payment of such Deferred Compensation have not been altered by a “material modification” within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-6(a)(4). For the purpose of the preceding sentence, in determining whether a material modification has altered the terms of an Arrangement, this Policy shall be ignored.

     1.9. “Regulation” or “Regulations” means the final Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A as amended.

     1.10. “Separation from Service” has the meaning provided at Regulation §1.409A-1(h). Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, “Separation from Service” includes the termination of the Employee’s employment with any and all entities that comprise the Company.

     1.11. “Specified Employee” means an Employee who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(2)(B)(i) and Regulation § 1.409A-1(i) as determined by the Company in a uniform manner for all nonqualified deferred compensation plans maintained by the Company under written rules adopted by the Company for the identification of Specified Employees as may be in effect and compliant with Regulation § 1.409A-1(i) on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service. If there are no written rules adopted by the Company for the identification of Specified Employees in effect and compliant with Regulation § 1.409A-1(i) on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, then the default rules of Regulation § 1.409A-1(i) shall apply.

     1.12. “Substantial Risk of Forfeiture” has the meaning provided at Regulation §1.409A-1(d). Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, Compensation is subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture if entitlement to the amount is conditioned on the performance of substantial future services by any person or the occurrence of a condition related to the purpose of the Compensation, and the possibility of forfeiture is substantial.

2. Application of Short-term Deferral Rule. In the case of an Arrangement that does not otherwise provide in its governing document when Compensation will be paid, such Compensation shall be paid as soon as practicable following the lapse of any Substantial Risk of Forfeiture with respect to such Compensation, within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(C), and in all events shall be paid on or before the last day of the “applicable 2-1/2 month period”, within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4)(i). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any bonus or other incentive pay that is payable in a calendar year following the calendar year in which it is earned shall be paid on or before the last day of the “applicable 2-1/2 month period”, within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4)(i), unless the Arrangement provides for payment at another time.

3. Application of 6-Month Delay Rule. In the case of an Arrangement that provides for payment of Deferred Compensation to a Specified Employee, which payment is triggered by the Specified Employee’s Separation from Service, unless the payment is a separate “payment” within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-2(b)(2) that is intended to be paid within the short-term deferral period following the lapse of a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture as provided under Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4), or the payment is intended to constitute separation pay due to involuntary separation from service within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), payment of the Deferred Compensation shall not occur sooner than the day following the date that is the 6-month anniversary of the date of the Specified Employee’s Separation from Service (“Delayed Payment Date”).

Unless the Arrangement provides otherwise, payment of the Deferred Compensation shall occur (in the case of a single payment) or commence (in the case of multiple payments) on or before the 90th day following the Delayed Payment Date. If the Arrangement provides for installment or annuity payments commencing prior to the Delayed Payment Date, all installments or annuity payments that would have been paid before the Delayed Payment Date but for this 6-month delay rule, shall be paid on or before the 90th day following the Delayed Payment Date.

Unless otherwise specified by an Arrangement, no interest or other earnings shall be paid in connection with the delay in payment of Deferred Compensation between the Specified Employee’s Separation from Service and the Delayed Payment Date.

For purposes of this Section 3, a payment is clearly intended to constitute separation pay due to involuntary separation from service within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) if the payment will be made solely in the event of an involuntary separation from service and the amount paid before the Delayed Payment Date does not exceed the limiting amount described in Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A) and such amount must be paid no later than the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Separation from Service occurs.

4. Default Payment Trigger. In the case of an Arrangement that provides for the payment of Deferred Compensation, that has previously become nonforfeitable, upon

Gibraltar Industries, Inc.
Omnibus Code Section 409A Compliance Policy
Page 4

the occurrence of an event that is not a permissible payment event under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A) (“impermissible payment event”), the section in the Arrangement providing for payment upon the occurrence of an impermissible payment event shall be deemed void and inoperative. If the Arrangement provides for payment, in the alternative, at a later time upon the occurrence of an event that is a permissible payment event under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A) (“permissible payment event”), the section in the Arrangement providing for alternative payment at the latter time shall control the payment. If the Arrangement does not provide for payment, in the alternative, at a later time upon the occurrence of an event that is a permissible payment event, the Arrangement shall be deemed amended by this Policy to provide for payment at the earliest of the following times: (1) the day following the 6-month anniversary of the Employee’s Separation from Service, (2) the day following the Employee’s death, or (3) the day on which occurs a change in ownership or effective control of the Employee’s employer, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employee’s employer within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) and the Regulations.

5. Payment Period Overlapping Two Taxable Years. In the case of an Arrangement that provides for payment of Deferred Compensation during a period of two or more days that overlaps two taxable years of the Employee or other payee, the Employee or other payee to whom the amount is payable shall have no right to determine the taxable year in which payment occurs.

6. No Acceleration of Payments. Any existing provision or subsequent amendment of an Arrangement that has the effect of accelerating the payment of Deferred Compensation shall be null and void unless the acceleration is permitted under Regulation §1.409A-3(j) or another Regulation, or the provision or amendment states that the acceleration is intended notwithstanding the violation of Code Section 409A(a)(3).

7. Application of the Toggle Rule under Regulation §1.409A-3(c). Except as otherwise provided in the Regulations, each deferral of compensation provision of an Arrangement that constitutes a separate “plan” under Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2) (including any other deferral of compensation provision under the first Arrangement and/or any other Arrangement that must be aggregated with the such provision under the first Arrangement as a single “plan” under Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2)) may designate only one time and form of payment upon the occurrence of each payment event within the meaning of Regulation §1.409A-3(a)(1), (2), (3), (5) and (6). In the event that any such provision in violation of the Regulations designates more than one time and form of payment upon the occurrence of a payment event, the provision shall be deemed to designate as the time and form of payment for any occurrence of such payment event, the time and form of payment in effect under the provision for the earliest possible occurrence of the payment event, and with the fewest payment triggers, notwithstanding any contrary language in the first or any other Arrangement. This Section 7 is intended

Gibraltar Industries, Inc.
Omnibus Code Section 409A Compliance Policy
Page 5

to comply with Regulation §1.409A-3(c) while preserving to the extent practicable the terms of the first and any other Arrangement and shall be so construed.

8. Reimbursement of Expenses Incurred During Employment. The Company shall not reimburse any expense incurred during employment by an Employee, which reimbursement is includable in the Employee’s gross income, unless such reimbursement is made pursuant to an Arrangement that provides an objectively determinable nondiscretionary definition of the expense eligible for reimbursement. In addition, any such Arrangement shall be deemed to provide that: (1) the amount of expense eligible for reimbursement with respect to any calendar year shall not effect the amount of such expense eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year unless otherwise permitted under the Regulations, (2) the reimbursement shall occur no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (3) the Employee’s eligibility for reimbursement of the expense may not be exchanged for another benefit.

9. Reimbursement of Expenses Incurred After Employment. The Company shall not reimburse any expense incurred after employment by an Employee, which reimbursement is includable in the Employee’s gross income, unless such reimbursement is made pursuant to an Arrangement that provides: (1) an objectively determinable nondiscretionary definition of the expense eligible for reimbursement, and (2) only for reimbursement of expenses incurred during an objectively and specifically prescribed period (which may be the lifetime of the former Employee). In addition, any such Arrangement shall be deemed to provide that: (1) the amount of expense eligible for reimbursement with respect to any calendar year shall not effect the amount of such expense eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year unless otherwise permitted under the Regulations, (2) the reimbursement shall occur no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (3) the Employee’s eligibility for reimbursement of the expense may not be liquidated or exchanged for another benefit.

10. Provision of in-kind Benefits After Employment. The Company shall not provide any in-kind benefit to an Employee after the individual has ceased to be employed by the Company unless the in-kind benefit is provided pursuant to an Arrangement that provides: (1) an objectively determinable nondiscretionary definition of the in-kind benefit to be provided, and (2) only for the provision of the in-kind benefit during an objectively and specifically prescribed period (which may be the lifetime of the Employee). In addition, any such Arrangement shall be deemed to provide that: (1) the amount of the in-kind benefit provided in any calendar year shall not effect the amount of such in-kind benefit provided in any other calendar year unless otherwise permitted under the Regulations, and (2) the Employee’s eligibility for the in-kind benefit may not be liquidated or exchanged for another benefit. This Section 10 is limited to in-kind benefits that are includable in the Employee’s gross income.

11. Tax Gross-up Payments. Any Arrangement that provides for tax gross-up payments to be paid to or on behalf of an Employee shall be deemed to provide that payment will be made by the end of the Employee’s taxable year next following the Employee’s taxable year in which the Employee remits the related taxes. For purposes of this Section 11, the term “tax gross-up payment” refers to a payment to reimburse the Employee in an amount equal to all or a designated portion of the Federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed upon the Employee as a result of Compensation paid or made available to the Employee by the Company, including the amount of additional taxes imposed upon the Employee due to the Company’s payment of the initial taxes on such Compensation. In addition, any Arrangement that provides a right to the reimbursement of expenses incurred due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability, whether Federal, state, local, or foreign, shall be deemed to provide that payment of the reimbursement will be made by the end of the Employee’s taxable year following the Employee’s taxable year in which the taxes that are the subject of the audit or litigation are remitted to the taxing authority, or where as a result of such audit or litigation no taxes are remitted, the end of the Employee’s taxable year following the Employee’s taxable year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.

12. Deferral of Compensation Paid for Final Payroll Period. Unless an Arrangement provides otherwise, Compensation payable after the last day of the Employee’s taxable year solely for services performed during the final payroll period described in Code Section 3401(b) containing the last day of the Employee’s taxable year, where such amount is payable pursuant to the timing arrangement under which the Company normally compensates Employees for services performed during a payroll period described in Code Section 3401(b), is treated as compensation for services performed in the subsequent taxable year in which the payment is made. Any amendment of an Arrangement to add a provision providing for a differing treatment of such compensation may not be effective for 12 months from the date the amendment is executed and enacted.

13. Disputed payments and refusals to pay. If the Company fails to make a payment of Deferred Compensation in whole or in part as of the date specified under an Arrangement, either intentionally or unintentionally, other than with the express or implied consent of the Employee, the payment will be treated as made upon the date specified under the Arrangement if the Employee accepts the portion (if any) of the payment that the Company is willing to make (unless such acceptance will result in a relinquishment of the claim to all or part of the remaining amount), makes prompt and reasonable, good faith efforts to collect the remaining portion of the payment, and any further payment (including payment of a lesser amount that satisfies the obligation to make the payment) is made no later than the end of the first taxable year of the Employee in which the Company and the Employee enter into a legally binding settlement of such dispute, the Company concedes that the amount is payable, or the Company is required to make such payment pursuant to a final and nonappealable judgment or other binding decision. For purposes of this Section, efforts to collect the

Gibraltar Industries, Inc.
Omnibus Code Section 409A Compliance Policy
Page 7

payment will be presumed not to be prompt, reasonable, good faith efforts, unless the Employee provides notice to the Company within 90 days of the latest date upon which the payment could have been timely made in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement and the Regulations, and unless, if not paid, the Employee takes further enforcement measures within 180 days after such latest date. This Section 12 does not apply indemnification payments which are not subject to Code Section 409A.

14. Amendment of Change in Control Agreements. Any Arrangement between the Company and a single Employee that provides for the payment of Compensation upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (a “CIC Agreement”) shall, in addition to the amendments and modifications provided for by the preceding provisions of this Agreement, be amended as follows:

     14.1. Definition of “Change in Control”. The term “Change in Control” as used in the CIC Agreement shall mean only the following events: (a) a change in ownership or effective control of the Employee’s employer, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employee’s employer within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) and the Regulations (a “Section 409A Change in Control”), or (b) the Employee’s involuntary termination without “Cause” or resignation for “Good Reason” during the period beginning on the date a “Merger Sale Agreement” is executed and ending on the date the “Merger Sale” is consummated or the Merger Sale Agreement is terminated (a “Non-Section 409A Change in Control”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed not to have occurred if the putative “Change in Control” constitutes a consolidation, merger or other reorganization that is effected pursuant to the terms of a Merger Sale Agreement that provides that the consolidation, merger or other reorganization contemplated by the Merger Sale Agreement will not constitute a “Change in Control” for purposes of the CIC Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 14.1, the terms “Cause”, “Merger Sale” and “Merger Sale Agreement” shall have the meanings provided in the CIC Agreement.

     14.2. Definition of “Good Reason”. The term “Good Reason” as used in the CIC Agreement shall be modified to provide that before the occurrence of one of the events listed in the CIC Agreement as providing the Employee “Good Reason” to terminate his employment (hereinafter a “Good Reason Event”) will be deemed to be a termination for “Good Reason”, the Employee must, within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of a Good Reason Event, provide notice to the Company (or the person, firm, corporation, limited liability company or other entity which, as a result of a Change in Control, has succeeded, directly or indirectly, to substantially all the assets, rights, properties, liabilities and obligations of the Company (such person, firm, corporation, limited liability company or other entity being hereinafter a “Successor”)) that the Good Reason Event has occurred and the Company (or the Successor) must not, within the thirty (30) day period following the date on which the Employee provides the Company (or the Successor) notice of the occurrence of a Good Reason Event, remedy the condition which resulted in the occurrence of the Good Reason Event.

     14.3. Cash-out of Stock Options. If an Employee has a CIC Agreement with the Company which provides that the Employee has the right to elect to accept an award of options to purchase common stock or other equity interests in a Successor in lieu of payment of an amount (hereinafter the “Option Cashout Amount”) equal to the Highest Sale Price (as defined in the CIC Agreement), determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs, multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock of the Company which the Employee could acquire by exercising all of the options to acquire common stock of the Company which, as of the date the Change in Control occurs, were issued to the Employee, outstanding and unexercised, minus the Aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the CIC Agreement), notwithstanding the contrary provisions of the CIC Agreement, the Employee shall not have the right to elect to accept options to purchase stock or other equity interests in any such Successor in lieu of receiving payment of the Option Cashout Amount and the Employee shall receive a lump sum cash settlement equal to the Option Cashout Amount no later than thirty (30) days following the occurrence of a Change in Control.

     14.4. Non-Section 409A Change in Control. No Compensation shall be paid to a Specified Employee on account of a Non-Section 409A Change in Control before the day following the 6-month anniversary of the Employee’s Separation from Service.

     14.5. Deferred Compensation Arrangements. Any provision in the CIC Agreement that purports to modify the terms of any other Arrangement that provides for payment of Deferred Compensation so as to make such Deferred Compensation payable upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (other than the provisions of the CIC Agreement, if any, which provide that the Employee will be entitled to issuance of shares of common stock of the Company which would have been issued to the Employee under any long term equity based compensation plan if the Change in Control had not occurred and the Employee had met all applicable performance standards) shall be void and inoperative unless such other Arrangement specifically provides that it is governed by the CIC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any provisions of the CIC Agreement which provide that the Employee will be entitled to issuance of shares of common stock of the Company which would have been issued to the Employee under any long term equity based compensation plan if the Change in Control had not occurred and the Employee had met all applicable performance standards shall continue in full force and effect.

15. Compliance with Section 409A.  This Policy is intended avoid the triggering additional taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, whether by reason of the form or the operation of any Arrangement. The Policy shall at all times be interpreted, construed, and administered with respect to Arrangements so as to avoid insofar as possible the imposition of excise taxes and other penalties under Section 409A of the Code. This Policy is adopted with the intent to achieve compliance with Code Section 409A and the Regulations and shall be construed accordingly. Any provision in this Policy that is found to conflict with the Regulations shall be deemed inoperative
