AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may at any time amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension, discontinuance or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant in respect of any Plan Year which has already commenced and no such action shall be effective without approval by the stockholders of the Company to the extent necessary to continue to qualify the amounts payable hereunder to Covered Employees as performance-based compensation under [Section 162(m)].

Any amendment or termination of the Plan will not affect the entitlement of any Participant or the Beneficiary of a Participant whose Termination Date occurs before the amendment or termination. All benefits to which any Participant or Beneficiary may be entitled shall be determined under the Plan as in effect at the time of the Participant’s Termination Date and shall not be affected by any subsequent change in the provisions of the Plan; provided, that HP reserves the right to change the Investment Options with respect to any Participant or Beneficiary. Participants and Beneficiaries will be given notice prior to the discontinuance of the Plan, change in Investment Options available or reduction of any benefits provided by the Plan.

At all times during the continuance of any Trust established in connection with this Plan, if the Plan Administrator determines that the Employer’s financial condition is likely to result in the suspension of benefit payments from the Trust, the Plan Administrator shall advise Participants and Beneficiaries that payments from the Trust shall be suspended during the Employer’s insolvency. If the Trustee subsequently resumes such payments, the Plan Administrator shall advise Participants and Beneficiaries that, if Trust assets are sufficient, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Participants and Beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made directly by the Employer during any period of discontinuance. No insufficiency of Trust assets shall relieve the Employer of its obligation to make payments when due under the Plan.

Subject to the policies, rules and regulations of any lawful authority having jurisdiction (including the TSX or any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed), the Board may, at any time, without further action or approval by the shareholders of the Company, amend the Plan, any Option or Option Agreement in such respects as it may consider advisable to:

The Board may, at its discretion and at any time, amend the Plan in whole or in part. The Board may also terminate the Plan in its entirety at any time, and, upon such termination or such later date or dates, each participant shall receive, in a single distribution, # the shares and cash for the fractions thereof of Commerce Stock credited to the Commerce Stock Account, the value thereof to be determined based upon the closing price for Commerce stock on the last business day of the month preceding the date of distribution; and # an amount equal to the then remaining amount credited to such participant’s accounts other than the Commerce Stock Account.

The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time, subject to such approvals by the members of the Company as may be required.

Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Company reserves and retains the right to, at any time, modify, rescind or terminate this Plan or the Compensation Plan in whole or in part, at its sole discretion, and nothing in this Plan or the Compensation Plan limits this right in any way or creates any rights in any Participant of future participation in this Plan or any other plan, or constitutes any guarantee of compensation or employment or service with the Company. Further, the Company does not have any obligation under this Plan, the Compensation Plan or otherwise to adopt this or any other compensation plan in the future. Any modification to this Plan or the Compensation Plan may only be made in a writing signed by the Company’s Senior Vice President of Sales or CFO and such modification shall be effective upon written notification to the Participant.

Amendment. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate this Agreement, but no such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination shall materially adversely affect the rights of the Participant hereunder without the consent of the Participant.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Plan may not be amended (including any amendment to this Section 14) or terminated by the Board if such amendment or termination would alter the provisions of this Section 14 or adversely affect or impair the Director’s rights to receive payment with respect to the Director’s Deferred Compensation Account or Stock Units.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. The Board of Directors, acting through the Committee, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, any portion thereof at any time, consistent with applicable law, regulation and listing rules, but it may not adversely affect the rights of any participant with respect to an award already earned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any material amendments (as defined under the NASDAQ Listing Rules) of the EIP Plan will require shareholder approval.
