Participation in the Plan for a given Plan Year shall be limited to employees of the Participating Companies for such Plan Year who are designated by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as participants in the Plan for that Plan Year. Employees hired or transferred into an eligible role or before the 15th day of a given month are eligible to become participants in the Plan in the month in which hired or transferred into an eligible role, and employees hired after the 15th day of a given month shall be eligible to become participants in the Plan in the month following the month in which hired or transferred into an AIA eligible role. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Committee determines otherwise, a participant must be employed by a Participating Company (regardless of whether participant is in an eligible role under the Plan) for more than three consecutive months in a Plan Year to participate in the Plan for such Plan Year. The Committee’s designation of an employee as a participant in respect of a particular Plan Year will not in itself entitle that employee to receive an award for that Plan Year or to be designated as a participant for any subsequent Plan Year. No member of the Committee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. 2.02 Beneficiaries. A participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive payment of his or her award in the event of the participant’s death by executing and delivering to the Company written notice of such designation on the form provided by the Company for such purpose, and may revoke or change his or her beneficiary designation at any time by executing
4 and delivering to the Company a new written notice of such designation on the form provided by the Company for such purpose. If any award is payable to a participant after the death of such participant, such award shall be paid, at the same time or times and in the same manner as if such participant were alive, to the beneficiaries of the participant designated on his or her most recent written notice. If a participant does not designate any beneficiary, or if no such beneficiary shall survive him or her, then payments will be made to the participant’s legal representatives. Article 3 Award Guidelines 3.01 Annual Award Guidelines. As soon as practicable at the beginning of each Plan Year, the Committee shall approve the award guidelines for that Plan Year, which may include the appropriate performance goals for the Plan Year and such other terms and conditions the Committee deems appropriate. 3.02 Amendment of Award Guidelines. If the Committee determines during the course of any Plan Year that the performance goals or other term of the award guidelines for that Plan Year are not justified under the circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the award guidelines, including the performance goals thereof, for such Plan Year as the Committee deems appropriate. 3.03 Award Classes. The Committee may, by rules and regulations of general or specific application, establish one or more classes of awards, the payment of which shall, in whole or in part, be deferred and made at such later time or times, in a lump sum or in such installments, as the Committee shall prescribe.

The Committee may allow a participant to defer the payment of an award under a deferral plan of a Participating Company. Such deferral shall be made in accordance with the terms of that deferral plan and the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Upon the deferral of the payment of an award, the terms of such deferral and the payments thereunder shall be governed by the provision of the deferral plan under which such deferral has been made, and the payment provisions of Article 6 and 7 shall not apply to the deferred award. 4.02 Unfunded Status. The obligation of any Participating Company under the Plan to make deferred payments or awards when due is merely contractual and no amount credited to an account of a participant on the books of any Participating Company shall be deemed to be held in trust for such participant or for his or her beneficiary or legal representatives. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require any Participating Company to segregate or earmark any cash or other property for Plan awards. Any securities or other property held or acquired by a company specifically for use under the Plan or otherwise shall, unless and until transferred in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, be and at all times remain the property of such company, irrespective of whether such securities or other property are entered in a special account for the
5 purpose of the Plan, and such securities or other property shall at all times be and remain available for any corporate purpose. Article 5 Determination of Awards 5.01 Pre-Determination of Awards. Prior to the end of a Plan Year, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, determine a minimum aggregate amount of the awards to be paid for such Plan Year. If the Committee makes such a determination of the minimum aggregate amount of the awards to be paid for such Plan Year, then the actual aggregate amount of the awards for that Plan Year, as determined under Section 5.02, shall not be less than the minimum aggregate amount of the awards for such Plan Year determined by the Committee under this Section 5.01. 5.02 Determination of Awards. As soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year, the Committee shall determine the aggregate amount of the awards to be paid for such Plan Year. In determining the aggregate amount of awards, the Committee may establish available pools of monies and payment grids for the employees of a particular Participating Company or a division, business unit or other designated group thereof, based upon specified company and other applicable organizational performance goals, subject to applicable limitations. 5.03 Individual Awards. Although each participant shall have an award target, the amount of any award is fully discretionary and in the in sole determination of the Committee.

Except for awards payable pursuant to Article 7 or deferred by a participant pursuant to 4.01, each award shall be paid in the calendar year immediately following the Plan Year, as soon as practicable after the amount of the award shall have been determined, or at such subsequent time or times during such calendar year as the Committee shall determine. 6.03 Form of Payment. Payment of awards shall be made in cash unless the Committee provides for a different method of payment, in whole or in part, or a different form of payment is required by applicable laws or regulations. Payment may be made (a) by the issuance or transfer of securities or other property, including common shares or other securities of the Company, another corporation or of a regulated investment company or companies, subject to restrictions and requirements to assure compliance with the conditions set forth in Article 8 and elsewhere in the Plan and such other restrictions and requirements as the Committee shall prescribe, (b) by undertaking to issue or transfer such securities or other property in the future, together with a sum

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of awards shall either qualify for an exemption from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 6.04 Tax Withholding. Any Participating Company required to make payments under the Plan shall deduct and withhold from any such payment all amounts which the Company believes in good faith it is required to deduct or withhold pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction whatsoever or, in the event that any such payment shall be made in securities, shall require that arrangements satisfactory to such Participating Company be made for the payment of all such amounts before such securities are delivered. Except as otherwise required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, no Participating Company shall be required to pay any amount to the beneficiary or legal representatives of any former participant until such beneficiary or legal representatives shall have furnished evidence satisfactory to such Participating Company of the payment or provision for the payment of all estate, transfer, inheritance and death taxes, if any, which may be payable with respect thereto.

A participant will be eligible for an award in the event the participant’s employment with the Participating Companies terminates due to: (a) the participant’s Qualified Retirement; (b) the participant experiencing a Termination of Employment resulting in a Severance Benefit; or (c) the participant’s death. 7.03. Payment Amount and Timing.

The Committee shall have the discretion and authority to (a) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan and (b) decide or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of the Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan. The Committee has delegated authority to the CEO or his or her designee to grant, administer and exercise discretion with respect to awards to an employee who is not a Section 16 Officer. For awards granted to such non-Section 16 Officers, all references to the Committee herein shall mean such designee. Any action taken by the Committee (or the CEO or any delegate) within the scope of its authority shall be final and binding upon the Participating Companies, upon each and every person who participates in the Plan and any successors in interest of such persons, and any and all other persons claiming under or through any such person. 9.02 Binding Effect.

Article 10 Miscellaneous 10.01 Amendment. The Board may amend the Plan in whole or in part from time to time, or may terminate the Plan at any time, without prior notice to any interested party; provided, however, no amendment or termination may be made if such amendment or termination would cause the awards under the Plan to fail to qualify for an exemption from or to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The Board may delegate its amendment power to such individual or individuals as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. The foregoing sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, for a period of two years and one day following a Change in Control, neither the Board nor any individual to whom the Board has delegated its authority may amend the Plan in a manner that is detrimental to the rights of any participant of the Plan without the participant’s written consent. 10.02 Section 409A of the Code.

10 10.03 Other Benefits and Agreements.

The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided. 10.04 Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as giving any person employed by a company which is or has been a Participating Company the right to be retained in the employ of such company or any right to any payment whatsoever, except to the extent provided by the Plan. Each such company shall have the right to dismiss any employee at any time with or without cause and without liability for the effect which such dismissal might have upon him as a participant under the Plan. 10.05 Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply. 10.06 Captions. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions. 10.07 Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 10.08 Successors. The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the participant’s employer and its successors and assigns, and the participant and his or her designated beneficiaries. 10.09 Validity.
