12. Administration of the Plan.

     The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee (or its delegate) shall have the exclusive right, power, and authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to administer, apply and interpret the Plan and any other Plan documents and to decide all matters arising in connection with the operation or administration of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall have the sole and absolute discretionary authority: (a) to take all actions and make all decisions with respect to the eligibility for, and the amount of, benefits payable under the Plan; (b) to formulate, interpret and apply rules, regulations and policies necessary to administer the Plan in accordance with its terms; (c) to decide questions, including legal or factual questions, relating to the calculation and payment of benefits under the Plan; (d) to resolve and/or clarify any ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions arising under the Plan or other Plan documents; (e) to decide for purposes of paying benefits hereunder, whether, based on the terms of the Plan, a Termination of Employment is for Cause; and (f) except as specifically provided to the contrary in Section 9, to process and approve or deny benefit claims and rule on any benefit exclusions. All determinations made by the Committee (or any delegate) with respect to any matter arising under the Plan and any other Plan documents shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties.

     Decisions of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members attending a meeting at which a quorum is present (which meeting may be held telephonically) or by written action in accordance with applicable law. All decisions of the Committee on any question concerning the interpretation and administration of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties.

     No member of the Committee and no officer, director or employee of the Company or any other Affiliate shall be liable for any action or inaction with respect to his or her functions under the Plan unless such action or inaction is adjudged to be due to gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. Further, no such person shall be personally liable merely by virtue of any instrument executed by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with the Plan.

     Each Employer shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law and its Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws (but only to the extent not covered by insurance) its officers and directors (and any employee involved in carrying out the functions of such Employer under the Plan) and each member of the Committee against any expenses, including amounts paid in settlement of a liability, which are reasonably incurred in connection with any legal action to which such person is a party by reason of his or her duties or responsibilities with respect to the Plan (other than as a Participant), except with regard to matters as to which he or she shall be adjudged in such action to be liable for gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud in the performance of his or her duties.
