Committee of the Parent Board of Directors (the "COMMITTEE") in its sole
discretion pursuant to its authority under any of the Parent Long-Term Incentive
Plans, each Non-Convertible Parent Option shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions after the Distribution as the terms and conditions applicable to such

HOWEVER, that from and after the Close of the Distribution (i) the number of

whole cent, shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise
price of such Non-Convertible Parent Option immediately prior to the

the Parent Opening Stock Value; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in the case of any
Non-Convertible Parent Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason

(b) CONVERTIBLE PARENT OPTIONS. As determined by the Committee in its sole

purposes under the applicable Parent Long-Term Incentive Plan), assuming for
this purpose that the remaining life of the Convertible
-14-

to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may specify.
(c) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS; FOREIGN GRANTS/AWARDS. To the extent that any
of the Parent Options described in Section 5.3(a) are "incentive stock options,"

options, and, to the extent that the Parent Awards described in Section 5.3(d)
below or any of the Parent Options described in Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b) are
granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based
incentive program sponsored by a Parent Entity, subject to the provisions of
such Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(b) and 5.3(d), Parent and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve, at and after the
Distribution, the value and tax treatment accorded to such Parent Options and

delegate to the Parent Executive Vice President-Human Resources, for periods

its sole discretion pursuant to its authority under any of the Parent Long-Term
Incentive Plans, each share of Parent Restricted Stock held by a Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Employee ("CONVERTIBLE RESTRICTED STOCK") shall be converted at the Distribution
into a number of shares of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Restricted Stock, rounded to the
nearest whole share, required to be granted to the holder of such Parent
Restricted Stock in order that the fair value of such Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Restricted
Stock (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion following methods
and assumptions consistent with SFAS 123) as of immediately following the
Distribution Date shall equal the fair value of the Parent Restricted Stock
immediately prior to the Distribution Date.
(ii) NON-CONVERTIBLE PARENT RESTRICTED STOCK. As determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion pursuant to its authority under any of the
Parent Long-Term Incentive Plans, each share of Parent Restricted Stock that is
not Convertible Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions after the Distribution as the terms and conditions applicable to such
Parent Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Distribution; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that on the Close of the Distribution, the holder of the Parent
Restricted Stock shall receive a number of shares of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Common Stock
determined in the manner set forth in Section 3.1 of the Separation and
Distribution Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in any award agreement
evidencing the grant of such Parent Restricted Stock to the contrary, in no
event shall the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Common Stock received with respect to such Parent
Restricted Stock be subject to any restriction.
(iii) RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. As determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion pursuant to its authority under any of the Parent Long-Term Incentive
Plans, each Parent Restricted Stock Unit shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions after the Distribution as the terms and conditions applicable to such
Parent Restricted Stock Unit
-15-
immediately prior to the Distribution; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that from and
after the Close of the Distribution the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
subject to such Parent Restricted Stock Unit, rounded to the nearest whole
share, shall be equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock subject to such Parent Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to
the Distribution Date and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the Parent Stock
Value by the Parent Opening Stock Value.
(e) AGGREGATE LIMIT. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.3 to
the contrary, if the aggregate number of shares of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Common Stock
subject to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Options and the number of shares of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Restricted Stock issuable pursuant to Sections 5.3(b) and 5.3(d)(i) would exceed
8,000,000 in the aggregate, then the number of shares of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Common
Stock subject to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Options and shares of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Restricted
Stock issuable under Sections 5.3(b) and 5.3(d)(i) shall be reduced on an
individual pro rata grant-by-grant basis such that 8,000,000 shares of Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx Common Stock shall be subject to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Options and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Awards issuable pursuant to Sections 5.3(b) and 5.3(d)(i).
(f) MISCELLANEOUS OPTION AND OTHER AWARD TERMS.
(i) Parent and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx acknowledge that, in the context of the
Separation, the adjustment to Parent Options and the Parent Awards as set forth
in this Section 5.3 will be implemented, in part, by the issuance of Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx Options and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Awards under the terms of the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Long-Term Incentive Plan. Accordingly, it is intended that, to the extent of the
issuance of such Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Options and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Awards in connection
with the adjustments set forth in this Section 5.3, the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Long-Term
Incentive Plan shall be considered a successor to the Parent Long-Term Incentive
Plan and to have assumed the obligation of the Parent Long-Term Incentive Plan
to make the adjustment of Parent Options and Parent Awards as set forth in this
Section 5.3.
(ii) After the Distribution Date, Parent Options and Parent Awards adjusted
pursuant to Section 5.3, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by Parent
pursuant to the terms of the Parent Long-Term Incentive Plan, and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Options and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Awards, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled
by Xxxxx Xxxxxxx pursuant to the terms of the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Long-Term Incentive

and local tax deductions related to the exercise of all adjusted Parent Options
and the vesting or settlement, as applicable, of Parent Awards after the

claim any such tax deductions. After the Distribution Date, Parent and the

the proper reporting to the appropriate governmental authorities of compensation
relating to all option exercises of Parent Options and vesting or settlement, as
applicable, of Parent Awards.
(iv) Xxxxx Xxxxxxx or a Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity shall claim the benefit of
federal, state and local tax deductions related to the exercise of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Options and the vesting or settlement, as applicable, of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Awards
after the Distribution Date and neither Parent nor any Parent Entity shall claim
any such tax deductions. After the Distribution
-16-
Date, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx and the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities shall be responsible for
the proper payroll tax treatment and the proper reporting to the appropriate
governmental authorities of compensation relating to all option exercises of
Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Options and vesting or settlement, as applicable, of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Awards.
(v) Parent and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx agree to act (or to take such action) with
respect to such federal, state, or local tax deductions, and with respect to
fulfilling the payroll tax and reporting obligations on compensation as are
reasonably necessary or appropriate to achieve, maintain and/or preserve such
tax results.
(vi) If (A) as a result of a determination (as defined in Section 1313 of
the Code) or (B) in the opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to Parent
or Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, which opinion and tax counsel are reasonably acceptable to the
other party hereto, as a result of final or pending Treasury Regulations,
Internal Revenue Service announcement or otherwise, in each case, there is a
substantial likelihood that the tax deductions related to the exercise of
Options or Awards under this Agreement and/or the payroll tax and reporting
obligations related to the exercise of Options or vesting or settlement of
Awards, will be inconsistent with all or any part of Section 5.3 above, the
parties shall negotiate in good faith to restructure the arrangements set forth
herein so that (I) if, pursuant to the determination or opinion, a party gets a
tax deduction it was not entitled to claim under the terms of this Agreement,
that party shall pay over to the party entitled to claim the deduction under the
terms of this Agreement, as if and for the tax year(s) recognized through a
reduction in taxes due and/or the receipt of a refund in an amount equal to the
lesser of (X) its tax benefit and (Y) the benefit otherwise available to the
party entitled to such deduction under the terms of this Agreement, as if and
for the tax year(s) when such deduction would have resulted in a reduction in
taxes due and/or the receipt of a refund and (II) the reporting and financial
burden of the payroll taxes are, to the extent practicable, as described above.
Any such amounts shall be payable within 30 days of the filing of the return in
which the benefit described in (X) or (Y) of the preceding sentence, whichever
is later, is reflected. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement on how
to restructure the arrangements set forth herein within 90 days of such
determination or the receipt of the opinion of counsel described in the first
sentence of this subparagraph (vi) such disagreement shall be resolved by a
nationally recognized law firm or accounting firm ("INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY"),
selected in a manner similar to the procedure set forth in Section 3(b)(iii) of
the Tax Sharing Agreement, whose judgment shall be conclusive and binding upon
the parties. The cost of any Independent Third Party shall be shared equally
between the parties.
(g) WAITING PERIOD FOR EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS. The Parent Options and
Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Options shall not be exercisable during a period beginning on a
date prior to the Distribution Date determined by Parent in its sole discretion,
and continuing until the Parent Opening Stock Value and the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Common
Stock Value are determined immediately after the Distribution, or such longer
period as Parent determines necessary to implement the provisions of this
Section 5.3.
(h) RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. Following the Distribution Date, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
shall use its reasonable best efforts to monitor the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Employees and
Former Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Employees to determine whether any such Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Employees or Former Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Employees have breached any of the restrictive
covenants in the agreements evidencing
-17-
the terms of their Parent Options and Parent Awards. As soon as practicable
following Xxxxx Xxxxxxx'x reasonable belief that a Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Employee or
Former Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Employee has breached any such covenant, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
shall provide Parent in writing with the name and address of such employee or
former employee and the name and address of the enterprise in which such
employee or former employee is believed to have been engaged. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything in any agreement evidencing the terms of any Parent
Options and Parent Awards to the contrary, it shall not be a violation of any
non-competition or non-solicitation of clients or customers covenant for a
holder of a Parent Option or Parent Award to engage in acts on behalf of Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx or a Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity that are otherwise prohibited by the terms of
such non-competition or non-solicitation of clients or customers covenants.

of Parent for, or relating to, benefits accrued through the Distribution Date by
or with respect to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Employees and Former Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Employees
under the Parent Non-Qualified Retirement Plan and the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx

5.6 SEVERANCE PLANS. The Parent Severance Pay Program provides for the
payment of certain compensation and benefits in the event of the termination of
employment of the individual covered by the terms of such plans. As of the Close
of the Distribution Date, Parent shall retain all Liabilities relating to the
Parent Severance Pay Program and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or
resulting from claims incurred by or on behalf of any individual under such
plans. A Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Employee shall not be deemed to have terminated
employment for purposes of determining eligibility for benefits under the
Severance Pay Plan or other similar plans and programs in connection with or in
anticipation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Separation and Distribution Agreement, and shall cease to be covered thereby as

following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation
and Distribution Agreement, including any amounts required to be paid (including

responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other party for any
Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.

dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor) and such consent
