The arbitrator will be an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois.  The decision and award made by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto for all purposes, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Except as set forth below, each party shall pay:  the fees of their or its attorneys; the expenses of their or its witnesses; and all other expenses connected with presenting their or its case.  Except as set forth below, the costs of the arbitration, including the cost of any record or transcripts of the arbitration hearing, administrative fees, the fees of the arbitrator, and all other fees and costs shall be borne equally by the parties.  In the event of a Dispute following or in connection with a Change of Control, the Company shall pay the fees of the arbitrator as well as the cost of any record or transcripts of the arbitration hearing and other administrative fees and costs.  In all Disputes, the arbitrator will have discretion to make an award of fees, costs and expenses to the prevailing party.</font></div></div><div class="item-list-element-wrapper" style="text-indent:6.667%;font-size:0;margin-top:0;justify-content:flex-start;margin-bottom:12pt;min-width:6.667%;text-align:justify;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:2.4%;word-break:keep-all;text-indent:0;display:inline-flex;justify-content:flex-start;">16.</font><div style="display:inline;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;text-decoration:underline solid;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">Section 409A Compliance</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">.  </font></div></div><div class="item-list-element-wrapper" style="text-indent:13.333%;font-size:0;margin-top:0;justify-content:flex-start;margin-bottom:12pt;min-width:13.333%;text-align:justify;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:4.8%;word-break:keep-all;text-indent:0;display:inline-flex;justify-content:flex-start;">(a)</font><div style="display:inline;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">It is the intention of the Company and Grantee that the PSUs and other benefits awarded under this Award Agreement shall comply with Section 409A of the Code and its implementing regulations (&#x201c;</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;text-decoration:underline solid;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">Section 409A</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#x201d;) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent.
