The Administrator has the discretionary power and authority to make all determinations necessary for administration of the Plan, except those determinations that the Plan requires others to make, and to construe, interpret, apply and enforce the provisions of the Plan and its operation whenever necessary to carry out its intent and purpose and to facilitate its administration, including, without limitation, the discretionary power and authority to determine eligibility for benefits and to remedy ambiguities, inconsistencies, omissions and erroneous benefit calculations. In the exercise of its discretionary power and authority, the Administrator will treat all persons determined by the Administrator to be similarly situated in a uniform manner. All acts and decisions of the Administrator made in good faith are binding on all interested persons.

Plan Administrator’s Right to Exercise Discretion This Section 6.4 shall not prevent the Plan Administrator from exercising, in its discretion, any of the applicable powers and options granted to it under any applicable provision hereof.

Administrator’s Liability. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Administrator assumes no liability other than to render or stand ready to render the services called for herein, and neither the Administrator nor any of its members, managers, officers, employees, subsidiaries or affiliates shall be responsible for any action of the Issuer or any of the members, managers, officers, employees, subsidiaries or affiliates of the Issuer (other than the Administrator itself). The Administrator shall not be liable for nor shall it have any obligation with regard to any of the liabilities, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent of the Issuer or any of the members, managers, officers, employees, subsidiaries or affiliates of the Issuer (other than the Administrator itself).

Discretion. Any other provision in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, # the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay to any Participant an annual incentive payment for such year in an amount based on individual performance or any other criteria or the occurrence of any such event that the Committee shall deem appropriate and # the Committee may provide for a minimum incentive payment to any or all, or any class of, Participants in respect of any calendar year, regardless of whether any applicable performance objectives are attained.

Committee Discretion. The Committee will have full discretion to deny or grant any claim in whole or in part.

Board Discretion. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly.

Exclusive Discretion. The Plan Administrator (set forth in Section 11(d)) shall have the exclusive discretion and authority to establish rules, forms, and procedures for the administration of the Plan and to construe and interpret the Plan and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the eligibility to participate in the Plan and amount of benefits paid under the Plan. The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the Plan Administrator shall be binding and conclusive on all persons. Upon and after the closing of a Change of Control, the Plan will be interpreted and administered in good faith by one or more members of the Board or other persons or entities designated by the Board prior to or in connection with such Change of Control (the “Representative”) who shall be the Plan Administrator during such period. All actions taken by the Representative in interpreting the terms of the Plan and administering the Plan upon and after the Change of Control will be final and binding on all Executives. Any references in this Plan to the “Board” or “Plan Administrator” with respect to periods following the closing of a Change of Control shall mean the Representative.

Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at or prior to the time of vesting, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce the number of Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would vest according to this Agreement, or eliminate the Award in full. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may treat Participant differently than other individuals for these purposes. Any such determination by the Committee shall be final and binding on Participant. Under no circumstances shall the Committee have discretion to increase the award to Participant in excess of the number of Units that would have been awarded at vesting based on this Paragraph 4 (excluding adjustments required by [Section 3(c)] and/or Section 11 of the Plan).

Committee Discretion. In all cases the Committee may: # reduce or eliminate the amount of any payment under the Plan that would otherwise be made to any Participant, and # determine that an amount shall be paid under the Plan that is greater than what would apply under the applicable performance goals, based on individual performance or any other criteria that the Committee deems appropriate.

Negative Discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, the Committee retains the discretion to reduce the amount of any Long-Term Incentive Bonus, including a reduction of such amount to zero. By way of illustration, and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine # not to grant a pro-rated Award Opportunity pursuant to Section 9.A above, # not to adjust an outstanding Award Opportunity pursuant to Section 9.B above, # to grant a pro-rated Award Opportunity in a smaller amount than would otherwise be provided by Section 9.A above, or # to adjust an outstanding Award Opportunity to produce a smaller Long-Term Incentive Award than would otherwise be provided by Section 9.B above.
