1.2 Effective Date and Expiration of Plan. The Board originally adopted the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan effective as of March 31, 2006, and the Plan was amended and restated upon approval by the shareholders of the Company on May 18, 2011 (“Effective Date”). Unless terminated by the Board pursuant to Section 7.3, the Plan shall terminate on May 17, 2021. No Award shall be made pursuant to the Plan after its termination date, but Awards made prior to the termination date may extend beyond that date.

1.3 Shares Available Under the Plan. Stock to be issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or previously-issued shares of Stock which have been reacquired by the Company and are held in its treasury. Subject to adjustment under Section 7.6, no more than 900,000 shares of Stock shall be issuable under the Plan. No Participant may receive (i) Options for more than 150,000 shares of Stock in any one fiscal year of the Company, (ii) Performance Grants (denominated in Stock) for more than 75,000 shares of Stock in any one fiscal year of the Company and (iii) Performance Grants (denominated in cash) for more than $2,000,000 in any one fiscal year of the Company. The foregoing limitations shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.6, but only to the extent that any such adjustment will not affect the status of (i) any Award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) or (ii) any Award intended to comply with Section 409A or an exception thereto. Except as provided below, if any Award is terminated or lapses, or any shares of Stock covered by an Award are Forfeited or cancelled, then such shares, to the extent of any such termination, lapse, Forfeiture, or cancellation, shall again be, or shall become, available for issuance under this Plan. In determining the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan, shares of Stock (x) delivered in payment of the exercise price of an Option or (y) delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay withholding taxes with respect to any Award shall not become available for issuance under the Plan.

ARTICLE IV

STOCK OPTIONS

4.1 Award of Stock Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Options to Key Personnel and Directors.

4.2 Period of Option.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in a Stock Option Agreement or the Plan, an Option granted to Key Personnel shall be exercisable only after twelve (12) months have elapsed from the date of grant, and after such twelve-month waiting period, the Option may be exercised in cumulative installments in the following manner:

(i) The Participant may purchase up to one-fourth (1/4) of the total optioned shares at any time after one year from the date of grant and prior to the termination of the Option.

(ii) The Participant may purchase an additional one-fourth (1/4) of the total optioned shares at any time after two years from the date of grant and prior to the termination of the Option.

(iii) The Participant may purchase an additional one-fourth (1/4) of the total optioned shares at any time after three years from the date of grant and prior to the termination of the Option.

7

(iv) The Participant may purchase an additional one-fourth (1/4) of the total optioned shares at any time after four years from the date of grant and prior to the termination of the Option.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may establish, in the applicable Stock Option Agreement, any other period during which Options may be exercised, provided that the duration of an Option shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

(c) An Option granted to a non-employee Director, who is a Director at the time of such grant, shall be immediately exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided in the Option Agreement.

4.3 Stock Option Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee from time to time shall approve, except that the terms and conditions in the Stock Option Agreement shall be consistent with those set forth herein.

4.4 Option Price and Exercise.

(a) The Option Price of Stock under each Option shall be determined by the Committee, except that, in no event, may the Option Price be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date on which the Option is granted. Except as provided in Section 7.6, the terms of outstanding Options may not be amended to reduce the Option Price nor may outstanding Options be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards or newly-granted Options with an Option Price that is less than the Option Price of the original Options, in each case without shareholder approval.

(b) Options may be exercised from time to time by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. The notice of exercise shall be accompanied by (i) payment in full of the Option Price in cash, certified check, or other medium accepted by the Company, in its sole discretion, or (ii) a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale proceeds sufficient to cover the Option Price. An Option shall be deemed exercised on the date the Company receives the notice of exercise and all the requirements of this Section 4.4(b) have been fulfilled.

4.5 Termination of Service.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or in the applicable Stock Option Agreement, if the employment or other service of a Participant, other than as a non-employee Director, terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, all Options held by the Participant shall expire and may not thereafter be exercised. For purposes of this section, the employment or other service in respect to Options held by such a Participant shall be treated as continuing intact while the Participant is on authorized military leave, on leave pursuant to the Family Medical Leave Act, approved sick leave or other approved, bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment with the government) if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days or, if longer, so long as the Participant’s right to reestablish such Participant’s service with the Company is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. Where the period of leave exceeds 90 days and where such Participant’s right to reestablish such Participant’s service

8

is not guaranteed by statute or by contract, such Participant’s service, in the Committee’s sole discretion, shall be deemed to have terminated on the ninety-first day of such leave.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and unless the Stock Option Agreement provides otherwise, if the employment or other service of a Participant, other than as a non-employee Director, terminates, other than due to a Termination for Cause, the Participant may exercise all unexercised and vested Options within 30 days of such termination. Any Options in which such Participant is not vested at the time of such Participant’s termination shall be Forfeited. Except as so exercised, such Option shall expire at the end of such period. In no event, however, may any Option be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of grant of such Option.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, a non-employee Director whose service is terminated shall be entitled to exercise such non-employee Director’s Options, to the extent vested as of the date of such termination, until the expiration of the full term of the Option, unless the non-employee Director has been Terminated for Cause. In the event that a non-employee Director is Terminated for Cause, all Options held by such Director shall terminate immediately and may not thereafter be exercised.

4.6 Death. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or a Stock Option Agreement, during the twelve (12) month period following the Participant’s death, any or all of the unexercised and vested Options that the Participant was entitled to exercise immediately prior to such Participant’s death may be exercised by such Participant’s Personal Representative. Any Options in which such Participant is not vested at the time of such Participant’s death shall be Forfeited. In no event, however, may any such Option be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of grant of such Option.

4.7 Retirement or Disability. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or a Stock Option Agreement, if a Participant Retires, or suffers a Disability, at a time when such Participant is entitled to exercise an Option, then at any time or times within three years after such Participant’s termination of service because of such Retirement or Disability the Participant may exercise such Option as to all or any of the shares which such Participant was entitled to purchase under the Option immediately prior to such termination. Except as so exercised, such Option shall expire at the end of such period. In no event, however, may any Option be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of grant of such Option.

4.8 Committee Discretion. For avoidance of doubt and not in limitation of the discretionary authority of the Committee under this Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine whether or not a Participant (including a non-employee Director) has Retired, resigned or suffered a Disability, or has been Terminated for Cause, or is on an authorized leave of absence, and its determination shall be binding on all concerned. In the sole discretion of the Committee, a transfer of service to an affiliate of the Company other than a Subsidiary (the latter type of transfer not constituting a termination of service for purposes of the Plan) may be deemed to be a Retirement so as to entitle the Participant to exercise the Option within 90 days after such transfer.

9

4.9 Shareholder Rights and Privileges. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Stock covered by an Option until the issuance of a stock certificate to the Participant representing such Stock.

ARTICLE V

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

AND

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS

5.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may elect to grant a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award to any Key Personnel and/or Director, including but not limited to grants derived from participation in another plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee, in its discretion, may determine that a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award may be subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions (including but not limited to restrictions on the sale of Stock), as set forth in the Award Agreement, and shall determine whether a Restricted Stock Unit Award is to be settled at vesting by the issuance of Stock or an Award or the payment of cash or other consideration.

5.2 Vesting Requirements. The restrictions imposed on a Restricted Stock Award shall lapse, and a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall vest, in accordance with the vesting requirements specified by the Committee in the Restricted Stock Agreement, provided that the Committee may accelerate the vesting of a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award at any time, and provided further that Restricted Stock Awards to non-employee Directors may be immediately vested and not subject to Forfeiture. Such vesting requirements may be based on the continued service of the Participant with the Company or its affiliates (including any Subsidiary) for a specified time period (or periods), on the attainment of specified performance goals established by the Committee in its discretion, or such other terms and conditions established by the Committee. If the vesting requirements of a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award are not satisfied, the Award shall be Forfeited and the Stock subject to the Award shall be returned to the Company and eligible for reissuance under the Plan.

5.3 Restrictions. A Restricted Stock Award may not be transferred, assigned or subject to any encumbrance, pledge or charge until all applicable restrictions are removed or have expired, unless otherwise permitted by the Committee. Failure to satisfy any applicable restrictions shall result in the Award being Forfeited and the Stock subject to the Award shall be returned to the Company and eligible for reissuance under the Plan. The Committee may require in a Restricted Stock Agreement that certificates representing the Restricted Stock Award bear a legend making appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed, and that certificates representing the Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Award will remain in the physical custody of the Company or an escrow holder (including the transfer agent for the Stock) until all restrictions are removed or have expired.

10

5.4 Rights as a Shareholder. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article V and the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant of a Restricted Stock Award shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the Stock granted to the Participant under a Restricted Stock Award, including the right to vote the Stock and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto. The Committee may provide in a Restricted Stock Agreement for a Restricted Stock Unit Award for the payment of dividends and distributions to the Participant at such times as paid to shareholders generally or at the times of vesting or other payment of the Restricted Stock Award to the extent not inconsistent with Section 409A and Section 7.7.

5.5 Stock Awards to Outside Directors. In addition to discretionary Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Unit Awards under Section 5.1, and subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 7.6, each non-employee Director elected at an annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders shall be awarded, as of each date such non-employee Director is elected (or re-elected), the lesser of: (i) 3,500 shares of immediately-vested Stock or (ii) such number of shares of Stock (including zero) as is determined by the Committee.

5.6 Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election pursuant to Code Section 83(b) with respect to a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall file, within 30 days following the date of grant, a copy of such election with the Company and with the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the regulations under Code Section 83. The Committee may provide in a Restricted Stock Agreement that the Restricted Stock Award is conditioned upon the Participant’s making or refraining from making an election with respect to the Award under Code Section 83(b).

Performance measures may be determined either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit or subsidiary entity thereof, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous fiscal years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee.

All such performance goals shall be established in writing no later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of the applicable performance period, or within such other timeframe as required by Section 162(m) and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.5 Additional Restrictions/Negative Discretion. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may also establish such additional restrictions or conditions that must be satisfied as a condition precedent to the payment of all or a portion of any Performance Grants. Such additional restrictions or conditions need not be performance-based and may include, among other things, the receipt by a Participant of a specified annual performance rating, the continued employment by the Participant and/or the achievement of specified performance goals by the Company,

business unit or Participant. Furthermore, and notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may retain the discretion to reduce the amount of any Performance Grant payable in cash to a Participant if it concludes that such reduction is necessary or appropriate based upon: (i) an evaluation of such Participant’s performance; (ii) comparisons with compensation received by other similarly-situated individuals working within the Company’s industry; (iii) the Company’s financial results and conditions; or (iv) such other factors or conditions that the Committee deems relevant; provided, however, that the Committee shall not use its discretionary authority to increase any Award that is intended to be performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).

6.6 Payment of Performance Awards. Performance Grants may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of each performance period as provided the Committee in the Performance Grant Agreement.

6.7 Rights with Respect to Stock and Other Securities. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion in a Performance Grant Agreement, a Participant to whom an Award is made under this Article (and any Person succeeding to such a Participant’s rights pursuant to this Article) shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Stock or as a holder with respect to other securities, if any, issuable pursuant to any such Award until the date a stock certificate evidencing such Stock or other evidence of ownership is issued to such Participant or until the Participant’s ownership of such Stock shall have been entered into the books of the registrar in the case of uncertificated shares.

6.8 Termination of a Participant. For all purposes under this Article, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee in a Performance Grant Agreement, Participants who have terminated their employment with the Company prior to the actual payment of an Award for any reason (including but not limited to death, Retirement or Disability) shall Forfeit any and all rights to payment under any Awards then outstanding under the terms of this Article and shall not be entitled to any payment for the performance period.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

7.1 Nontransferability. No Award under the Plan shall be transferable by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that, if so determined by the Committee, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant, and to receive any property distributable, with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant and the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit the transfer or an Award to a Permitted Transferee subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award. Except as provided in Section 4.7, all Options shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant or such Participant’s Personal Representative. Any transfer contrary to this Section 7.1 will nullify the Award.

7.2 Amendments. The Committee may at any time discontinue granting Awards under the Plan. The Board may at any time amend the Plan or amend any outstanding Award Agreement for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of any changes in applicable laws or regulations or

13

for any other purpose which may at the time be permitted by law; provided that no such amendment shall be permissible if it would result in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act becoming inapplicable to any Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of an Award to the contrary, the Committee may at any time (without the consent of any Participant) modify, amend or terminate any or all of the provisions of an Award to the extent necessary to conform the provisions of the Award with Section 162(m), Section 409A or any other provision of the Code or other applicable law, the regulations issued thereunder or an exception thereto, regardless of whether such modification, amendment or termination of the Award shall adversely affect the rights of a Participant.

7.3 Termination. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time prior to its scheduled expiration date, but no such termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award theretofore granted in which such Participant has a vested interest without such Participant’s written consent.

7.4 Nonuniform Determinations. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan, including without limitation (i) the determination of the Key Personnel and Directors to receive Awards, (ii) the form, amount and timing of such Awards, (iii) the terms and provisions of such Awards and (iv) the Award Agreements evidencing the same, need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among Key Personnel and Directors who receive, or who are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such Key Personnel or Directors are similarly situated.

7.5 No Right to Employment. Neither the action of the Board in establishing the Plan nor any action taken by the Committee under the Plan, nor any provision of the Plan, shall be construed as giving to any person the right to be retained in the employ, or as an Officer or Director, of, or as an independent contractor or consultant to, the Company or any Subsidiary.

7.6 Changes in Stock. In the event of any dividend (other than a regular cash dividend) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Stock, other Company securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Stock or other Company securities, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Stock or other Company securities or other similar corporate transaction in which the Company is the surviving corporation or other event that affects the Stock such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock or securities of the Company to be subject to the Plan and to Awards then outstanding or to be awarded thereunder, the maximum number of shares of Stock or other securities which may be issued on the exercise of Options granted under the Plan, the Option Price and other relevant provisions shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be binding on all persons; provided, however, with respect to any Award subject to Section 162(m) or Section 409A, any such adjustment shall be authorized only to the extent that such adjustment would not cause the Award to fail to comply with Section 162(m) or Section 409A. In the event of a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or any other transaction in which the shareholders of the Company exchange their shares of stock in the Company for stock or equity securities of another company, or in the event of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or in the case of a tender offer accepted by the Board, all outstanding Awards shall thereupon terminate, provided that the Committee may,

14

prior to the effective date of any such transaction, either (i) make all outstanding Awards immediately exercisable or vested or (ii) arrange to have the surviving entity grant to the Participants replacement awards on terms which the Board shall determine to be fair and reasonable. The Committee, in its sole discretion and to the extent not inconsistent with Section 7.7 hereof, may determine that, in the event of a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity, each outstanding Award shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Participant, and such Participant shall receive, with respect to each such Award, cash or other property, including securities of any entity acquiring the Company, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Award (if any) as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

7.7 Compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, if any Award or benefit provided under this Plan is subject to the provisions of Section 409A, the provisions of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner necessary to comply with Section 409A or an exception thereto (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted or construed). The following provisions shall apply, as applicable:

(i) If a Participant is a Specified Employee and a payment subject to Section 409A (and not excepted therefrom) to the Participant is due upon Separation from Service, such payment shall be delayed for a period of six (6) months after the date the Participant Separates from Service (or, if earlier, the death of the Participant). Any payment that would otherwise have been due or owing during such six-month period will be paid immediately following the end of the six-month period in the month following the month containing the 6-month anniversary of the date of termination unless another compliant date is specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

(ii) For purposes of Section 409A, and to the extent applicable to any Award or benefit under the Plan, it is intended that distribution events qualify as permissible distribution events for purposes of Section 409A and shall be interpreted and construed accordingly. With respect to payments subject to Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to accelerate and/or defer any payment to the extent permitted and consistent with Section 409A. Whether a Participant has Separated from Service or employment will be determined based on all of the facts and circumstances and, to the extent applicable to any Award or benefit, in accordance with the guidance issued under Section 409A. For this purpose, a Participant will be presumed to have experienced a Separation from Service when the level of bona fide services performed permanently decreases to a level less than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period or such other applicable period as provided by Section 409A.

(iii) The Committee, in its discretion, may specify the conditions under which the payment of all or any portion of any Award may be deferred until a later date. Deferrals shall be for such periods or until the occurrence of such events, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A, the regulations and other binding guidance promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that no deferral shall be permitted with respect to Options and other stock rights subject to Section 409A. An election shall be made by filing an election with the Company (on a form

15

provided by the Company) on or prior to December 31st of the calendar year immediately preceding the beginning of the calendar year (or other applicable service period) to which such election relates (or at such other date as may be specified by the Board to the extent consistent with Section 409A) and shall be irrevocable for such applicable calendar year (or other applicable service period).

(iv) The grant of Options and other stock rights subject to Section 409A shall be granted under terms and conditions consistent with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5) such that any such Award does not constitute a deferral of compensation under Section 409A. Accordingly, any such Award may be granted to employees and other service providers of the Company or any Subsidiary and affiliates in which the Company has a controlling interest. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest, the rules of Treas. Reg. § 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i) shall apply; provided that the language “at least 50 percent” shall be used instead of “at least 80 percent” in each place it appears; provided, further, where legitimate business reasons exist (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E)(i)), the language “at least 20 percent” shall be used instead of “at least 80 percent” in each place it appears. The rules of Treas. Reg. §§ 1.414(c)-3 and 1.414(c)-4 shall apply for purposes of determining ownership interests.

(v) In no event shall any member of the Board, the Committee or the Company or any Subsidiary (or their employees, officers or directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other Person) due to the failure of an Award to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.

7.8 Tax Withholding. Whenever Stock is to be delivered to a Participant upon exercise of an Option, the award of a Restricted Stock Award, the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit or otherwise, the Company may (i) require such Participant to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local tax withholding requirements related thereto, (ii) withhold such required withholding from compensation otherwise due to such Participant, (iii) do any combination of the foregoing, or (iv) employ any other acceptable method approved by the Company to facilitate the required withholding, provided such approach is permissible under applicable securities and other laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit a Participant (or any beneficiary or person entitled to act) to elect to pay a portion or all of the amount requested by the Company for such taxes with respect to such Award, at such time and in such manner as the Committee shall deem to be appropriate (including, but not limited to, by authorizing the Company to withhold, or agreeing to surrender to the Company on or about the date such tax liability is determinable, Stock, or property, other securities or property, or other forms of payment, or any combination thereof, owned by such person or a portion of such forms of payment that would otherwise be distributed, or have been distributed, as the case may be, pursuant to such Award to such person, having a market value equal to the amount of such taxes); provided, however, any broker-assisted cashless exercise shall comply with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718 (or any successor provision) and any withholding satisfied through a net-settlement shall be limited to the minimum statutory withholding requirements. No such arrangement shall be permitted that is an impermissible loan to executive officers or directors under Section 402 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

16

7.9 Delivery of Shares. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Stock upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award unless and until, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all applicable federal, state and other laws and regulations have been complied with. In the event the outstanding Stock is at the time listed on any stock exchange, no delivery shall be made unless and until the shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized to be added to the list upon official notice of issuance on such exchange. No delivery shall be made until all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of Stock have been approved by the Company’s counsel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company may require from the Participant or other person purchasing shares of Stock under the Plan such investment representation or such agreement, if any, as counsel for the Company may consider necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, or any other applicable law. Certificates evidencing the shares may be required to bear a restrictive legend. A stop transfer order may be required to be placed with the transfer agent, and the Company may require that the Participant or such other person agree that any sale of the shares will be made only on one or more specified stock exchanges or in such other manner as permitted by the Committee.

7.10 Status. A Participant’s status as Key Personnel or a Director shall be made exclusively by the Committee and determined for each Award as of the date the Award is granted to the Participant, and such determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

7.11 Unfunded. This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award under this Plan, and rights to the payment of Awards shall be no greater than the rights of the Company’s general creditors.

7.12 Acceptance of Actions/Determinations. By accepting any Award or other benefit under this Plan, each Participant (and each person claiming under or through such Participant) shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated such Participant’s acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken or determinations made under this Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee, and their respective delegatees.

7.13 Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of this Plan, and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to this Plan and to Awards granted under this Plan, shall be governed by the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its choice or conflicts of laws principles. If any provision of this Plan or any Award is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Plan or any Award, but such provision shall be fully severable, and this Plan or Award, as applicable, shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included in this Plan or Award, as applicable.

This amendment and restatement of the L. B. Foster Company 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan is effective as of the Effective Date.
