Discretionary Award, Extraordinary Benefit. Awards under the Plan are granted to employees of the Company and the Affiliates in the Committee’s sole discretion. The Award described in this Grant Agreement is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive other Awards under the Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. This Award (and each other Award, if any, granted under the Plan) constitutes an extraordinary item of compensation and is not part of the Grantee’s normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, or other benefit rights (unless otherwise expressly provided in an applicable benefit plan).

Discretionary Nature of Award. The grant of an Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of PRSUs and vesting provisions. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any. As such, the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, holiday pay, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.

Discretionary Adjustments. Upon the occurrence or in anticipation of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, or any transaction described in [Section 4(B)], the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide # that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, # that Awards will become immediately vested and non-forfeitable and exercisable (in whole or in part) and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, # that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, # that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction (or the per-shares transaction price), over the exercise or base price of the Award, # that performance targets and performance periods for Performance Awards will be modified, or # any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Any discretionary adjustments made pursuant to this [Section 4(C)] shall be subject to the provisions of [Section 15(B)].

Discretionary Grants. In addition to the automatic grants described herein, the Board, in its sole discretion, may grant additional equity awards to certain Outside Directors for services to the Company that exceed the standard expectations of an Outside Director or for other circumstances determined appropriate by the Board, including, without limitation, an inducement for the Outside Director to remain on the Board or an initial grant for an individual to become an Outside Director.

Discretionary Bonuses. The Compensation Committee may also make discretionary bonus payments under the Plan based upon such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine in its sole discretion, regardless of whether the Compensation Committee establishes such terms and conditions or a target amount for such discretionary bonus payment in advance.

Discretionary Termination. The Company may terminate the Plan at any time in its discretion, provided that: # the termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company; # all arrangements sponsored by the Company and its affiliates that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Section 409A if the same individual participated in all of the arrangements, are terminated; # no payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within twelve months of the termination of the arrangements; # all payments are made within twenty-four months of the termination of the arrangements; and # the Company and its affiliates do not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Section 409A if the same individual participated in both arrangements, at any time within three years following the date of termination of the Plan.

Discretionary Deferrals. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, provide additional compensation to eligible directors in the form of Share Units, with such Share Units being deferred and credited to the participant’s deferred compensation account pursuant to Section 3.

Discretionary Bonus. Although it is not anticipated by the parties, Executive may become eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus. The actual amount of the annual discretionary bonus, if any, is to be determined by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to appropriate withholdings and deductions); provided, however, that to be eligible to receive such bonus Executive must be employed by the Company on the date any such bonus is paid.

At the end of each Calendar year, if employed by the Company, Officer will be eligible for a discretionary cash bonus of between 50% and 125% of the Salary, with a target bonus of 100% of Officer’s Salary (the “Target Bonus”), based on the achievement of operational and strategic performance goals established by the Committee in consultation with Officer.
