1.2 Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means whereby employees and directors of the Company and its Affiliates and key advisors develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial success of the Company, and to encourage them to devote their best efforts to the business of the Company, thereby advancing the interests of the Company and its shareholders. A further purpose of the Plan is to provide a means through which the Company may attract able individuals to become employees and to provide a means whereby those individuals on whom the responsibilities for the successful administration and management of the Company depend can acquire and maintain ownership of the Company’s common stock, thereby strengthening their concern for the welfare of the Company.

1.3 Duration of the Plan. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date. After the Plan is terminated, no Awards may be granted, but Awards previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and the respective Award Agreements.

February 2013

Exhibit 10.5

(c) Limit on Grants to Eligible Directors. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be granted under the Plan to Eligible Directors shall be limited to one million (1,000,000).

(d) Prior Plans. All awards granted pursuant to the Prior Plans and outstanding on the Effective Date shall remain subject to the terms of the applicable Prior Plans and award agreements issued thereunder, except that any Shares to be issued after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of performance-based restricted stock awards granted under one of the Prior Plans in connection with above-target performance results shall be issued under this Plan. Beginning on the Effective Date, no additional awards shall be granted under any Prior Plan, except for restorative options automatically granted pursuant to the terms of any option awards outstanding under a Prior Plan.

4.2 Share Counting. Shares covered by an Award shall only be counted against the Share Authorization to the extent they are actually issued, provided that:

(a) Shares Available for Future Grant. Any Shares related to Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise, without the issuance of such Shares (other than surrender of an Option at the time of exercise of a related Stock Appreciation Right), or are settled in cash in lieu of Shares, shall be available again for grant under the Plan, consistent with the fungible conversion factor methodology set forth in Section 4.1(b).

(b) Shares That Will Reduce Share Authorization. The Share Authorization will be reduced by the full number of Shares that: (i) are subject to the exercise or vesting of an Award, regardless of whether fewer Shares are actually issued because of Shares tendered to the Company (by either Constructive or Actual Delivery) or withheld by the Company to satisfy tax withholding requirements or to pay the exercise price with respect to such exercise or vesting; or (ii) may be issued in connection with an Award of a SAR, regardless of whether fewer Shares are actually issued upon exercise of such SAR.

4.3 Annual Award Limits. The following limits (“Annual Award Limits”) shall apply to grants of such Awards under the Plan, subject to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4.4 or 19.2, unless and until the Committee determines that an Award to a Covered Employee shall not be designed to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.

(a) Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. The aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be five hundred thousand (500,000).

(b) Options and SARs. The aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Awards of Options and SARs, including ISOs, granted in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000).

(c) Performance Shares and Performance Units. The aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Awards of Performance Shares or Performance Units granted in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be five hundred thousand (500,000).

February 2013

Exhibit 10.5

(d) Other Stock-Based Awards. The aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Other Stock-Based Awards granted in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be five hundred thousand (500,000).

(e) Awards to Eligible Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 4.3 (a) – (d), the maximum number of Shares that may be granted in any one Plan Year to any Eligible Director shall be twenty thousand (20,000).

4.4 Adjustments in Authorized Shares. If the number of outstanding Shares is increased or decreased through a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, special cash dividend, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in: (a) the number of Shares included in the Share Authorization in Section 4.1 (a) and the Share limitation in Section 4.1 (c), (b) the number of Shares that may be issued under outstanding Awards, and (c) the Award limits specified in Section 4.3. In the event that the Shares are changed into or exchanged for a different kind of shares or other securities of the Company through transactions of the type referenced above, the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan, may substitute or adjust, as applicable, the number and kind of securities that may be issued under the Plan or under particular forms of Awards, the number and kind of securities subject to outstanding Awards, the Annual Award Limits, and other value determinations applicable to outstanding Awards.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may also make appropriate adjustments in the terms of any Awards under the Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding Awards, including modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Periods. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan. No amendment, modification, suspension or termination may impact the distribution of any Award that is subject to Section 409A or is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation under Section 162(m), except as permitted by such applicable Section.

Subject to the provisions of Article 19.1, without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder, the Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits under the Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization on such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate.


Article 5	Eligibility

All Employees and Eligible Directors shall be eligible for selection to receive Awards. In addition, any key person selected by the Committee in its sole discretion who provides bona fide services to the Company or an Affiliate as a Third Party Service Provider shall be eligible for selection to receive Awards.

6.2 Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, time-based restrictions, and/or restrictions under applicable laws, rules and regulations or under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are listed or traded, holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the Shares by the Company upon vesting of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Share of Restricted Stock or each Restricted Stock Unit, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals, or time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the performance goals.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, and subject in all cases to the requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock Award shall become freely transferable by the Participant after all conditions and restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied or lapse (including satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding obligations), and Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash, Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares as the Committee, in its sole discretion shall determine.

6.3 Certificate Retention or Legend. To the extent that a certificate is issued to evidence Shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that such certificate shall: (a) be retained by the Company until such time as all conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied or lapse; and/or (b) bear a legend such as the following or as otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion:

The sale or transfer of Shares represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Xxxxxx Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and in the associated Award Agreement. A copy of such Plan and Award Agreement may be obtained from Xxxxxx Corporation.

6.5 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Except as the Committee determines otherwise with respect to a particular Award and as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, issued and outstanding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by the Board with respect to the Company’s Shares on the same basis and on the same payment dates as all other issued and outstanding Shares. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant dividend equivalents with respect to any Restricted Stock Units. The terms and conditions of such dividend equivalents, including the rate per Unit, timing of payment and other requirements,

(d) Exercise by Participant’s Spouse. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, an Option or SAR shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant (or, in the case of the incapacity of the Participant, by the Participant’s Representative) regardless of any community property interest therein of the spouse of the Participant, or such spouse’s successors in interest. If the spouse of the Participant shall have acquired a community property interest in such Option or SAR, the Participant, or the Participant’s Representative, may exercise the Option or SAR on behalf of the spouse of the Participant or such spouse’s successors in interest.

(e) Special Provisions for Incentive Stock Options. In addition to the limitation applicable to ISOs in Section 4.3 (b), to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the grant date) of Shares underlying an ISO granted to a Participant under this Plan (and any other option plans of the Company) that become exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any Plan Year exceeds $100,000 (or, if different, the maximum limitation in effect at the time of grant under Code Section 422, or any successor provision), the portion of such ISO in excess of $100,000 (or, if different, such maximum limitation) will be treated as Non-Qualified Options. The portion of any ISO not exercised within 90 days after termination of Employment will be treated as a Non-Qualified Option.

14.3 Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation. Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward so as to enrich the Award. The Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines.

14.4 Committee Discretion. In the event that applicable tax, securities laws and regulations and/or stock exchange rules change so as to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) and base vesting on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 14.1.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement (unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise with specific

February 2013

Exhibit 10.5

reference to this Section): (i) an Award shall not be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out, settled, substituted, adjusted or modified under the Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A on a Participant; and (ii) if an Award Agreement provides for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A, no distribution or payment of any amount shall be made before a date that is six (6) months following the date of such participant’s separation from service (as defined in Section 409A) or, if earlier, the date of the participant’s death.

(c) Although the Company intends to administer the Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will comply with, the requirements of Section 409A, the Company does not warrant that any Award under the Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to any Participant (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Participant) for any tax, interest or penalties the Participant may owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award under the Plan.

16.2 Deferrals. Subject to the requirements of Section 16.1 of the Plan, the Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer such Participant’s receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to any Award of a type that may be subject to the deferral provisions of Section 409A. If any such deferral election is required or permitted, the Committee shall, prior to requiring or permitting such deferral election, establish written rules and procedures for such payment deferrals that are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A including, without limitation, the time when a deferral election can or must be made, the period of the deferral, and the events that would result in payment of the deferred amount.

Nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Employment of, or provisions of services by, any Participant at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her Employment or services for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under the Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company and/or its Affiliates and, accordingly, subject to Article 19, the Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company and/or its Affiliates.

A termination by the Participant shall not constitute termination for Good Reason unless the Participant shall first have delivered to the employer written notice setting forth with specificity the occurrence deemed to give rise to a right to terminate for Good Reason (which notice must be given no later than 90 days after the occurrence of such event), and there shall have passed a reasonable time (not less than 30 days) within which the employer may take action to correct, rescind or otherwise substantially reverse the occurrence supporting termination for Good Reason as identified by the Participant.

18.3 Occurrence of a Change in Control. Upon the Occurrence of a Change in Control:

(a) In the event of a Change in Control as defined in Section 18.1 (a) or (b), except as prohibited by applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange requirements, or as determined otherwise by the Committee in connection with particular Awards and set forth in the applicable Award Agreements, if the Employment of a Participant is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Substantial Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason within the twenty-four (24) month period following such Change in Control:

(i) any and all Options and SARs granted under the Plan shall vest and be immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for the remainder of their term;

(ii) any Period of Restriction and other restrictions imposed on time-vested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards not subject to specified performance criteria shall lapse and such Awards shall immediately vest and be paid out or distributed without further restriction; and

Exhibit 10.5

(iii) the payout opportunities attainable under all outstanding performance-based Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or Performance Units or Other Stock-Based Awards subject to specified performance criteria, including Awards intended to qualify for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code, shall be deemed to have been fully earned based on the greater of (A) targeted performance, or (B) actual performance being attained for a truncated Performance Period that ends on the date of the Change in Control.

(b) In the event of a Change in Control as defined in Section 18.1 (c) or (d), the Plan shall terminate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall provide in writing in connection with such transaction for any one or more of the following alternatives (separately or in combinations): (i) all restrictions on outstanding Awards shall immediately lapse; (ii) for the assumption by the successor corporation of the Awards theretofore granted or the substitution by such corporation for such Awards theretofore granted of new Awards covering the stock of the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (iii) for the continuance of the Plan by such successor corporation in which event the Plan and the Awards therefore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided; or (iv) for the payment in cash or stock in lieu of and in complete satisfaction of such Awards.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 18.3 (a) and (b) or any other Section of the Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine different provisions for vesting and payout that shall apply in the event of a Change in Control in connection with particular Awards, provided that such provisions are consistent with Article 16 and applicable laws, rules, regulations and stock exchange requirements and are set forth in the applicable Award Agreements.


Article 19	Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination

19.1 Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination. Subject to Sections 16.1 and 19.3, the Board may, at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that, no material amendment of the Plan shall be made without shareholder approval if shareholder approval is required by law, regulation, or stock exchange rule. Furthermore, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination may impact the distribution of any Award that is subject to Section 409A or is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation under Section 162(m), except as permitted by such applicable Section.

19.2 Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4.4 hereof) affecting the Company (or any of its Affiliates) or the financial statements of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) or of changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. The determination of the

February 2013

Exhibit 10.5

Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan. No amendment, modification, suspension or termination may impact the distribution of any Award that is subject to Section 409A or is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation under Section 162(m), except as permitted by such applicable Section.

19.3 Awards Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no termination, amendment, suspension, or modification of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award.


Article 20	Withholding

20.1 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, the amount of any taxes that the Company may be required to withhold with respect to any taxable event arising from such Participant’s Awards.

20.2 Share Withholding. For Participants who are Employees, unless a different form of remittance is agreed to in writing by the Company pursuant to Section 20.1, upon the lapse of restrictions on a Participant’s Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, or any other taxable event arising as a result of an Award granted hereunder, the Company shall withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the tax withholding requirements with respect to any such taxable event based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state purposes, including payroll taxes.

20.3 Option or SAR Withholding. Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Option or a SAR, the Company shall have the right to: (i) require such Participant (or such Participant’s Representative) to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold with respect to such exercise, or (ii) deduct from all amounts paid in cash with respect to the exercise of a SAR the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold with respect to such cash amounts. Subject to the limitation set forth in the next sentence, a Participant or such Participant’s Representative may elect to satisfy all or any portion of the tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of an Option or SAR either by: (i) any of the methods described in Section 8.3(b); or (ii) directing the Company to withhold Shares that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such exercise. No Participant or Participant’s Representative shall have the right to utilize Constructive or Actual Delivery of Shares or have Shares withheld, in either case, in excess of the minimum number required to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes. Shares used in either of the foregoing ways to satisfy tax withholding obligations will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.


Article 21	Successors

All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

Article 22	General Provisions

22.1 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.

22.2 Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall for any reason be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law, rule or regulation deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to such applicable law, rule or regulation or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

22.3 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

22.4 Delivery of Title. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under the Plan prior to:

(a) Obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies or national securities exchanges that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and

(b) Completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable securities, “Blue Sky” or other laws that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable.

22.5 Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

22.6 Investment Representations. The Committee may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to an Award under the Plan to represent and warrant in writing that the individual is acquiring the Shares for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares.

22.7 Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company, and/or its Affiliates may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other individual. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company, its Affiliates under the Plan,

February 2013

Exhibit 10.5

such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general assets of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan.

22.8 No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

22.9 Non-Exclusivity of the Plan. The adoption of the Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or Committee to adopt such other compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable for any Participant.

22.10 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or an Affiliate’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or an Affiliate to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

22.11 Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among Participants or individuals who are eligible to receive Awards (whether or not such individuals are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee will be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to Participants under the Plan and the terms and conditions applicable to Awards made under the Plan.

22.12 Governing Law. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under the Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Delaware and Illinois, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to the Plan or any related Award Agreement.
