Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

The legality of the shares of Common Stock registered hereby has been passed upon for the Company by Akerman Senterfitt, Miami, Florida. As of the date of this Registration Statement, certain attorneys employed by Akerman Senterfitt beneficially own shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that we shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), each person who is involved in any litigation or other proceeding because such person is or was our director or officer, against all expense (including attorney’s fees), loss or liability reasonably incurred or suffered in connection therewith. The Certificate provides that a director or officer may be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.

Section 145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e., one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be made only for expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine that the defendant is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Certificate eliminates the liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for such breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising (i) from any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company. Under an insurance policy maintained by the Company, the directors and officers of the Company are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such claims, actions, suits or proceedings, which may be brought against them by reason of being or having been such directors or officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) will not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Republic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such Registration Statement relates to the registration by the Company of 21,870,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) that may be issued pursuant to the Republic Services, Inc. 2006 Incentive Stock Plan (f/k/a Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 2006 Incentive Stock Plan) and the Republic Services, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan (f/k/a Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan) (each a “Plan”).

In connection with the Registration Statement, we have examined, considered and relied upon copies of such documents and instruments that we have deemed necessary for the expression of the opinions contained herein. In our examination of these documents, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original documents of all copies. Based upon the foregoing examination, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan under which such shares of Common Stock are issuable, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the federal securities laws of the United States of America and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

EXHIBIT 10.1

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.
2006 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN
(f/k/a ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC. 2006 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN)

(Originally Adopted on March 8, 1991;
Most Recent Amendment and Restatement Effective October 24, 2007;
This Amendment and Restatement Effective November 14, 2008)

     1. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide a means through which the Company and its Subsidiaries may (a) attract able persons to provide valuable services to Allied Waste Industries, Inc. as Employees or Consultants, (b) promote the interests of the Company by providing Employees and Consultants with a proprietary interest in the Company, thereby strengthening their concern for the welfare of the Company and their desire to continue to provide their services to the Company, and (c) provide such persons with additional incentive and reward opportunities to enhance the profitable growth of the Company. The Plan amends and restates the Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 1991 Incentive Stock Plan, as previously amended and restated in 2004, again in 2006, and again in 2007.

     On June 22, 2008, Allied Waste Industries, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with and among Republic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Republic”), and RS Merger Wedge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Republic (the “Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Allied Waste Industries, Inc. (the “Merger”) and, as a result, Allied Waste Industries, Inc. will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement”).

     Effective on and after the Effective Time, the Plan is to be referred to as the “Republic Services, Inc. 2006 Incentive Stock Plan (f/k/a the Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 2006 Incentive Stock Plan)” and Republic Services, Inc. is to be the new sponsor of this Plan. In addition, any references to shares of Common Stock is to shares of the common stock of Republic Services, Inc. and necessary adjustments have been made to the number of shares of common stock available for grant under this Plan, as well as to outstanding Awards, to reflect the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement). This Amendment and Restatement reflects these changes.

     This Amendment and Restatement is subject to and conditioned upon the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger. In the event that the Closing does not occur, then this Amendment and Restatement shall be void and the prior amendment and restatement of the Plan shall remain in effect.

     Capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Section 2.

     2. Definitions. As used in the Plan, the following definitions apply to the terms indicated below.

          (a) “Acquiror” means the surviving, continuing, successor or purchasing person or entity, as the case may be, in a Change in Control.

          (b) “Award” means an Option, a share of Restricted Stock, an RSU, a SAR, a Performance Award, a Dividend Equivalent, a Stock Bonus, a Cash Award, or other stock-based Awards granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

          (a) In General. The Plan shall be administered by the Company’s Board. The Board, in its sole discretion, may delegate all or any portion of its authority and duties under the Plan to the Committee under such conditions and limitations as the Board may from time to time establish. The Board and/or any Committee that has been delegated the authority to administer the Plan shall be referred to throughout this Plan as the “Committee.” Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to determine all matters relating to Awards under the Plan, including the selection of the individuals to be granted Awards, the time or times of grant, the type of Awards, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, vesting conditions, and any and all other terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations, if any, of an Award.

          (b) Committee’s Authority and Discretion with Respect to the Plan. The Committee shall have full authority and discretion (i) to administer, interpret, and construe the Plan and the terms of any Award issued under it, (ii) to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (iii) to determine, interpret, and construe the terms and provisions of any Award agreement made pursuant to the Plan, and (iv) to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan and any Awards made under the Plan. In controlling and managing the operation and administration of the Plan, the Committee shall take action in a manner that conforms to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as amended from time to time, and applicable law. Subject to (A) the limitations with respect to Incentive Stock Options under Code Section 422 and the Plan and (B) Section 3(c), the Committee may, in its absolute discretion (1) accelerate the date on which any Award becomes vested, exercisable, or issuable, but only in connection with the termination of the Participant’s Service with the Company or upon a Change in Control; (2) extend the date on which any Award ceases to be exercisable or on which it terminates or expires; (3) waive, make less restrictive, or eliminate any restriction on or condition imposed with respect to any Award; and (4) amend the Plan as set forth in Section 19. In addition, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, grant Awards to Participants on the condition that such Participants surrender to the Company for cancellation such other awards under the Plan or another plan of the Company (including, without limitation, Awards with higher Exercise Prices, but subject to Section 3(c)) as the Committee specifies. Notwithstanding Section 5, Awards granted on the condition of surrender of outstanding Awards shall not count against the limits set forth in Section 5 until such time as such Awards are surrendered. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to further the Plan purposes. All decisions made by the Committee in connection with the interpretation and administration of the Plan or with respect to any Awards made under the Plan and related orders and resolutions shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Award is not a Section 409A Award, the Committee shall not change the Award in any manner that would make the Award a Section 409A Award without the express written approval of the Participant.

          (c) No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Options or SARs may be repriced without the approval of the stockholders of the Company. Stockholder approval shall be evidenced by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the shares of the Company’s capital stock present in person or by proxy and voting at the meeting. For purposes of the Plan, “repricing” shall include (i) amendments or adjustments to Options or SARs that reduce the Exercise Price of such Options or SARs, (ii) situations in which new Options or SARs are issued to a Participant in place of cancelled Options or SARs with a higher Exercise Price, and (iii) any other amendment, adjustment, cancellation or replacement grant or other means of repricing an outstanding Option or SAR, including a buyout for a payment of cash or cash equivalents.

          (d) Delegation to Officers. Following the authorization of a pool of cash or shares of Common Stock to be available for Awards, the Committee may delegate to one or more subcommittees consisting of one or more officers of the Company any or all of its power and duties under the Plan pursuant to such conditions or limitations as the Committee may establish; provided, however, that the Committee shall not delegate to such officers its authority to (i) amend or modify the Plan pursuant to Section 19, (ii) act on matters affecting any Participant who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or the liability provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise take any action or fail to act in a manner that would cause any Award or other transaction under the Plan to cease to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) determine the extent to which Awards will conform to the requirements of Code Section 162(m). The Committee may authorize any one or more of its members or any officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee.

          (e) Other Plans. The Committee also shall have authority to grant Awards as an alternative to, as a replacement of, or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under the Plan or other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company, including Substitute Awards granted with respect to an equity compensation plan of any entity acquired by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the grant or right to be substituted is not a Section 409A Award, the Committee shall not grant a Substitute Award that would be a Section 409A Award without the express written consent of the Participant. Furthermore, if the grant or right to be substituted is a Section 409A Award, the Committee shall not grant a Substitute Award if the grant would cause the Section 409A Award or the Substitute Award to not be in compliance with Section 409A.

          (f) Limitation of Liability. No member of the Committee or any person to whom the Committee delegates authority pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(d) shall be liable for any action, omission or determination relating to the Plan, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other person to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been delegated from and against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee) arising out of any action, omission or determination relating to the Plan unless, in either case, such action, omission or determination was taken or made by such Committee member or other person in bad faith and without reasonable belief that it was in the best interests of the Company.

     4. Eligibility. The persons who shall be eligible to receive Awards pursuant to the Plan shall be (a) those Employees who are largely responsible for the management, growth, and protection of the business of the Company (including officers of the Company, whether or not they are directors of the Company), and (b) any Consultant, as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall select from time to time; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Employees. An Award may be granted to a proposed Employee or Consultant prior to the date the proposed Employee or Consultant first performs services for the Company, provided that the grant of such Awards shall not become effective prior to the date the proposed Employee or Consultant first performs such services. Subject to the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may grant any Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan to any eligible person and may grant more than one Award to any eligible person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only Employees and Consultants of Allied Waste Industries, Inc. and its Subsidiaries may be eligible to receive Awards under this Plan on or after the Effective Time.

     5. Shares Subject to the Plan.

          (a) Number and Source. The shares offered under the Plan shall be shares of Common Stock and may be unissued shares or shares now held or subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares, as the Committee from time to time may determine. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 20, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards, including Options that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options, may be granted during the term of the Plan shall not exceed an absolute maximum of 15,699,107 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio in the Merger Agreement) (the “Share Limit”).

          (b) Determination of Shares Remaining Available Under the Share Limit. Any shares of Common Stock that are subject to Awards of Options or SARs shall be counted against the Share Limit as one share for every one share granted, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of an Option or SAR. Any shares of Common Stock that are subject to Awards other than Options or SARs (including Performance Awards denominated in dollars but settled in shares of Common Stock) shall be counted against the Share Limit as one and one-half shares for every one share granted or issued.

               (i) Any shares subject to an Award granted under the Plan that are not delivered because the Award expires unexercised or is forfeited, terminated, canceled, or exchanged for Awards that do not involve Common Stock, or any shares of Common Stock that are not delivered because the Award is settled in cash, shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the Share Limit. Instead, such shares shall immediately be added back to the Share Limit and shall be available for future Awards; provided that (A) any shares of Common Stock that are subject to Awards of Options or SARs shall be added back as one share for every one share granted; and (B) any shares of Common Stock that are subject to Awards other than Options or SARs (including Performance Awards denominated in dollars but settled in shares of Common Stock) shall be added back as one and one-half shares for every one share granted.

               (ii) The grant of a Cash Award shall not reduce or be counted against the Share Limit. The payment of cash dividends and Dividend Equivalents paid in cash in conjunction with outstanding Awards shall not reduce or be counted against the Share Limit. Shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan as a Substitute Award or in settlement of a Substitute Award shall not reduce or be counted against the Share Limit to the extent that the

rules and regulations of any stock exchange or other trading market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded provide an exemption from stockholder approval for assumption, substitution, conversion, adjustment, or replacement of outstanding awards in connection with mergers, acquisitions, or other corporate combinations.

               (iii) The Committee may from time to time adopt and observe such rules and procedures concerning the counting of shares against the Share Limit or any sublimit as it may deem appropriate, including rules more restrictive than those set forth above to the extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of any national stock exchange or other trading market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded or any applicable regulatory requirement.

     6. Terms of Awards.

          (a) Types of Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may include, but are not limited to, the types of Awards described in Sections 7 through 14. Such Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with any other types of Award granted under the Plan.

          (b) Limit on Number of Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the following limitations shall apply to the following types of Awards made hereunder, other than Substitute Awards:

               (i) The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by Awards granted to any one individual in any year shall not exceed the following:

                    (A) 675,000 shares (as adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio in the Merger Agreement) in the case of Options and SARs; and

                    (B) 337,500 shares (as adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio in the Merger Agreement) in the case of Restricted Stock and RSUs (including Restricted Stock and RSUs granted subject to the terms and conditions contained in Section 10), Performance Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock, and Stock Bonuses.

               (ii) The aggregate dollar value of Awards that may be paid to any one individual in any year shall not exceed the following:

                    (A) $5,000,000 in the case of Cash Awards; and

                    (B) $10,000,000 in the case of Performance Awards denominated in dollars.

          (c) Vesting. Except for Options, SARs, or Performance Awards issued as Substitute Awards, each Option, SAR, or Performance Award shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of not less than one year from the Grant Date of such Option, SAR, or Performance Award. Except as provided in the following sentence, Awards other than Options, SARs, or Performance Awards shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of not less than three years from the Grant Date for such Awards, provided that such Awards may vest ratably over the vesting period determined by the Committee at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, (i) Awards granted in lieu of or in exchange for cash compensation or other outstanding Awards that are fully vested or otherwise earned by the Participant shall be subject to such vesting period, if any, as the Committee determines on the Grant Date of such new Awards, and (ii) up to 5% of Awards other than Options, SARs, or Performance Awards granted during any 12-month period may have a vesting period of not less than one year from the Grant Date. For purposes of the preceding clause (ii), the percentage of Awards other than Options, SARs, or Performance Awards that may have a vesting period shorter than three years from the Grant Date shall be calculated by dividing (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Awards with a vesting date shorter than three years from the Grant Date that are granted during the applicable 12-month period by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by all such Awards that are granted during the applicable 12-month period.

          (d) Individual Award Agreements. Options shall and other Awards may be evidenced by agreements between the Company and the Participant in such form and content as the Committee from time to time approves, which agreements shall substantially comply with and be subject to the terms of the Plan. Such individual agreements (i) may contain such provisions or conditions as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to effectuate the sense and purpose of the Plan and (ii) may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

          (e) Payment; Deferral. Awards granted under the Plan may be settled through exercise, as set forth in Section 15, cash payments, the delivery of Common Stock (valued at Fair Market Value), through the granting of replacement Awards, or through combinations thereof as the Committee shall determine. The Committee may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment, subject to the terms of the applicable Deferred Compensation Plan and to such rules and procedures as the Committee may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or Dividend Equivalents, including converting such credits to deferred Awards, but only in a manner that is either exempt from or that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A. Any Award settlement, including payment deferrals, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions, and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. A Participant’s deferral election must be made in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. When the deferral occurs, the deferred Award(s) will be transferred into or credited to a deferred compensation account established under the Deferred Compensation Plan and will be subject to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Any and all deferrals made pursuant to this provision, to the extent subject to Section 409A, must be made in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A.

          (f) Buyout of Awards. The Committee may at any time (i) offer to buy out an outstanding Award for a payment of cash or cash equivalents, or (ii) authorize a Participant to elect to cash out an outstanding Award, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions (but subject to Section 3(c)) as the Committee shall establish.

     7. Options. The Committee may grant Options designated as Incentive Stock Options or as Non-Qualified Stock Options. In the absence of any such designation, however, such Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. A Participant and the Committee can agree at any time to convert an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

          (a) Limitations on Grants of Incentive Stock Options. No Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be invalid for failure to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Code Section 422, but shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Options that are granted to a particular individual and that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options plus all other Incentive Stock Options held by such individual (whether granted under the Plan or any other plans of the Company) that become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000 (or such corresponding amount as may be set by the Code). Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the Grant Date of each such Incentive Stock Option.

          (b) Exercise Price of Options. The Exercise Price of a particular Option shall be determined by the Committee on the Grant Date; provided, however, that the Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date (110% of the Fair Market Value if Incentive Stock Options are granted to a stockholder who owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company on the Grant Date).

          (c) Term of Options. The Committee shall set the term of each Option, provided, however, that except as set forth in Section 18(b), no Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the Grant Date (five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a stockholder who owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company on the Grant Date); and provided, further, that each Option shall be subject to earlier termination, expiration or cancellation as provided in the Plan or in the Option agreement.

          (d) Conversion of Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an Option with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock based upon the Exchange Ratio with an adjusted exercise price based upon the Exchange Ratio, in accordance with and subject to the provisions contained in the Merger Agreement.

     8. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may grant Awards consisting of shares of Restricted Stock or denominated in Restricted Stock Units in such amounts and for such consideration as the Committee may determine in its discretion. Such Awards may be subject to (a) forfeiture of such shares or RSUs upon termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, (b) restrictions on transferability (which may be in addition to or in lieu of those specified in Section 16), (c) limitations on the right to vote such shares, (d) limitations on the right to receive dividends with respect to such shares, (e) attainment of certain Performance Goals, such as those described in Section 10, and (f) such other conditions, limitations, and restrictions as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and as set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award. Certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock or shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of RSUs shall bear an appropriate legend and may be held subject to escrow and such other conditions as determined by the Committee until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.

     At the Effective Time, each share of Restricted Stock, each RSU and each deferred RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a restricted share, restricted stock unit or a deferred restricted stock unit with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock based upon the Exchange Ratio in accordance with and subject to the provisions contained in the Merger Agreement.

     9. Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant SARs pursuant to the Plan, either in tandem with another Award granted under the Plan or independent of any other Award grant. Each grant of SARs shall be evidenced by an agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. The Committee may establish a maximum appreciation value payable for SARs and such other terms and conditions for such SARs as the Committee may determine in its discretion. The Exercise Price of a SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date. The holder of a SAR granted in tandem with an Option may elect to exercise either the Option or the SAR, but not both. Except as set forth in Section 18(b), the exercise period for a SAR shall extend no more than 10 years after the Grant Date. In addition, each grant of SARs shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

          (a) Vesting Date and Conditions to Vesting. Upon the grant of SARs, the Committee may (i) establish a Vesting Date or Vesting Dates and expiration dates with respect to such rights, (ii) divide such rights into classes and assign a different Vesting Date for each class, and (iii) impose such restrictions or conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions herein, with respect to the vesting of such rights as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the Committee may require, as a condition to the vesting of any class or classes of SARs, that the Participant or the Company achieve certain performance criteria, such criteria to be specified by the Committee on the Grant Date of such rights. Provided that all conditions to the vesting of SARs are satisfied, and except as provided in Section 18, upon the occurrence of the Vesting Date with respect to such SARs, such rights shall vest and the Participant shall be entitled to exercise such rights prior to their termination or expiration.

          (b) Benefit Upon Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon the exercise of a vested SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive one or more of the following benefits, as determined by the Committee on the Grant Date of such SAR and set forth in the agreement evidencing the SAR:

               (i) Within 90 days of the Exercise Date for the SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount in cash in a lump sum equal to the difference between (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock of the Company on the Exercise Date, over (B) the Exercise Price of the SAR.

               (ii) At the discretion of the Committee, the agreement evidencing the SAR may give the Participant the right to elect to receive, in lieu of cash as set forth in Section 9(b)(i), shares of the Company’s Common Stock having a Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to the difference between (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock of the Company on the Exercise Date, over (B) the Exercise Price of the SAR.

     10. Performance Awards. The Committee may grant Performance Awards pursuant to the Plan. Each grant of Performance Awards shall be evidenced by an agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. Each grant of Performance Awards shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

          (a) Performance Period and Amount of Performance Award. With respect to each grant of a Performance Award, the Committee shall establish a performance period over which the performance of the Company and/or of the applicable Participant shall be measured, provided that no performance period shall be shorter than one year. In determining the amount of the Performance Award to be granted to a particular Participant, the Committee may take into account such factors as the Participant’s responsibility level and growth potential, the amount of other Awards granted to or received by such Participant, and such other considerations as the Committee deems appropriate; provided, however, the maximum value that can be granted as a Performance Award to any one individual during any calendar year shall be limited to the amount set forth in Section 6(b).

          (b) Non-Qualified Performance Awards and Qualified Performance Awards. Non-Qualified Performance Awards, which are not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), shall be based on achievement of such goals and be subject to such terms, conditions, and restrictions as the Committee or its delegate shall determine. Qualified Performance Awards, which are intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), shall be paid, vested or otherwise deliverable solely on account of the attainment of one or more pre-established, objective Performance Goals established by the Committee as set forth in Section 10(c).

          (c) Performance Goals. A Qualified Performance Award shall be paid solely on the attainment of certain pre-established, objective performance goals (within the meaning of Code Section 162(m)). Such Performance Goals shall be based on any one or any combination of the following business criteria, as determined by the Committee: total or net revenue; revenue growth; EBIT; EBITDA; operating income; net operating income after tax; pre-tax or after-tax income; cash flow; cash flow per share; net earnings; earnings per share; profit growth; return on equity; return on capital employed; return on assets; economic value added (or an equivalent metric); share price performance; other earnings criteria or profit-related return ratios; successful acquisitions of other companies or assets; successful dispositions of Subsidiaries, divisions or departments of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; successful financing efforts; total stockholder return; market share; improvement in or attainment of expense levels; improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; or debt reduction. Such Performance Goals may be (i) stated in absolute terms, (ii) based on one or more business criteria that apply to the Participant, one or more Subsidiaries, business units or divisions of the Company, or the Company as a whole, (iii) relative to other companies or specified indices, (iv) achieved during a period of time, or (v) as otherwise determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise stated, a Performance Goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In measuring a Performance Goal, the Committee may exclude certain extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items, provided that such exclusions are stated by the Committee at the time the Performance Goals are determined. In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Qualified

Performance Awards, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Code Section 162(m) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e) with respect to grants to those Participants whose compensation is, or is likely to be, subject to Code Section 162(m), and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions. The Committee shall establish, in writing, the applicable Performance Goal(s) and the specific targets related to such goal(s) prior to the earlier to occur of (A) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goal relates and (B) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as scheduled in good faith at the time the goal is established), and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), subject to adjustment by the Committee as it deems appropriate to reflect significant unforeseen events or changes. A Performance Goal is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met.

          (d) Payment. Upon the expiration of the performance period relating to a Performance Award granted to a Participant, such Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount not exceeding the maximum value of the Performance Award, based on the achievement of the Performance Goals for such performance period, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may, within its sole discretion, pay a Performance Award under any one or more of the Performance Goals established by the Committee with respect to such Performance Award. The Committee shall certify in writing prior to the payment of a Performance Award that the applicable Performance Goals and any other material terms of the grant have been satisfied. Subject to Sections 5 and 6(b), payment of a Performance Award may be made in cash, shares of Common Stock, other Awards, other property, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Payment shall be made in a lump sum or in installments as prescribed by the Committee; provided, however, that if the terms of the Performance Award (including payment terms) make the Performance Award subject to Code Section 409A, the Performance Award will be a Section 409A Award and shall be established in such a manner as to comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A.

     11. Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. The Committee may grant, as a separate Award or at the time of granting any other Award granted under the Plan (other than Options or SARs), Awards that entitle the Participant to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to all or a portion of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award, in each case subject to such terms as the Committee may establish in its discretion and as set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents may accrue interest and the instrument evidencing the Award will specify whether dividends or Dividend Equivalents will be (a) paid currently, (b) paid at a later, specified date (such as if, and when, and to the extent such related Award, if any, is paid), (c) deferrable by the Participant under and subject to the terms of the applicable Deferred Compensation Plan, (d) subject to the same vesting as the Award to which the dividends or Dividend Equivalents relate, if applicable, and/or (e) deemed to have been reinvested in shares of Common Stock or otherwise reinvested. Where Dividend Equivalents are deferred or subject to vesting, the Committee may permit, or require, the conversion of Dividend Equivalents into RSUs. RSUs arising from such a conversion of Dividend Equivalents at the election of the Participant shall not count against the Share Limit, while RSUs arising from a conversion of Dividend Equivalents that is required by the Committee will count against the Share Limit. If the terms of the grant of dividends or Dividend Equivalents makes the grant subject to Code Section 409A (even if the underlying Award is not subject to Code Section 409A), the grant will be a Section 409A Award and shall be established in such a manner as to comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A.

     12. Stock Bonuses. The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, grant Stock Bonuses in such amounts as it shall determine from time to time. Subject to Section 6(c), a Stock Bonus shall be paid at such time and subject to such terms, conditions, and limitations as the Committee shall determine on the Grant Date of such Stock Bonus. Certificates for shares of Common Stock granted as a Stock Bonus shall be issued in the name of the Participant to whom such grant was made and delivered to such Participant as soon as practicable after the date on which such Stock Bonus is required to be paid.

     13. Cash Awards. The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, grant Cash Awards in such amounts as it shall determine from time to time. A Cash Award may be granted (a) as a separate Award, (b) in connection with the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise, or payment of another Award under the Plan or at any time thereafter, or (c) on or after the date on which the Participant is required to recognize income for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise, or payment of another Award under the Plan. Cash Awards shall be subject to such terms, conditions, and limitations as the Committee shall determine on the Grant Date of such Cash Award. Cash Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as in the case of the Qualified Performance Awards described in Section 10.

     14. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant such other Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of Common Stock as may be deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such other Awards may include, without limitation, (a) shares of Common Stock awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, (b) convertible or exchangeable debt or equity securities, (c) other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, and (d) Awards valued by reference to the value of shares of Common Stock or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries of the Company.

     15. Award Exercise.

          (a) Precondition to Stock Issuance. Awards shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee. No shares of Common Stock shall be delivered pursuant to the exercise of any Award, in whole or in part, until the Company receives payment in full of the Exercise Price, if any, as provided in Section 15(c). No Participant or any legal representative, legatee or distributee shall be or be deemed to be a holder of any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award unless and until such Award is exercised, the full Exercise Price is paid, and such shares are issued.

          (b) No Vesting or Exercise of Fractional Amounts. With respect to any Award that vests in a manner that would result in fractional shares of Common Stock being issued, any fractional share that would be one-half of one share or greater shall be rounded up to a full share, and any fractional share that would be less than one-half of one share shall not be vested or issued unless and until the last increment of such Award becomes vested. No Award may at any time be exercised with respect to a fractional share. Instead the Company shall pay to the holder of such Award cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share on the Exercise Date.

          (c) Form of Payment. A Participant may exercise an Award using as the form of payment such means as the Committee may, from time to time, approve, whether in the agreement evidencing the Award or otherwise.

          (d) Form and Time of Exercises. Except as otherwise (i) set forth in the Plan, (ii) determined by the Committee, or (iii) set forth in the agreement or other documents evidencing the Award, each exercise required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be in writing delivered to the Company at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, and any other agreement, as the Committee shall require.

     16. Transferability. Awards may be assigned or transferred only as permitted pursuant to this Section 16. No Award may be assigned or transferred for value.

          (a) Restrictions on Transfer. Except as specifically allowed by the Committee, any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall, during the Participant’s lifetime, be exercisable only by such Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by such Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Except as specifically allowed by the Committee, any Non-Qualified Stock Option and any other Award granted under the Plan and any of the rights and privileges conferred thereby shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant other than (i) pursuant to Section 16(b), or (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and such Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant.

          (b) Permitted Transfers. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be assigned to (i) a child, stepchild, grandchild, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, (ii) any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), (iii) a trust in which the Participant or the persons described in (i) or (ii) hold more than 50% of the beneficial interest, or (iv) a private foundation in which the Participant or the persons described in (i) or (ii) own more than 50% of the voting interests. A transfer to any entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by the Participant or the persons described in (i) or (ii) in exchange for an interest in that entity shall not constitute a transfer for value.

          (c) Transfers Upon Death. Upon the death of a Participant, outstanding Awards granted to such Participant may be exercised only by the executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or by any person or persons who shall have acquired such right to exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or by assignment or transfer from the Participant as contemplated by Section 16(b) above. No transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or as contemplated by Section 16(b) above, of any Award, or the right to

exercise any Award, shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with (i) written notice thereof and with a copy of the will, assignment, or transfer document and/or such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (ii) an agreement by the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Award that are or would have been applicable to the Participant and to be bound by the acknowledgments made by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Award.

     17. Withholding Taxes; Other Deductions. All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and the Committee may condition the delivery of any Awards, cash, shares of Common Stock, or other benefits under the Plan upon satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any grant, issuance, vesting, exercise, or payment of an Award under the Plan (a) an amount of cash or shares of Common Stock having a value sufficient to cover withholding as required by law for any federal, state or local taxes, and (b) any other amounts due from the Participant to the Company or to any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy any such withholding or other obligations, including withholding from any other cash amounts due or to become due from the Company to such Participant an amount equal to such taxes or obligations. The Committee, in its discretion, also may permit the Participant to deliver to the Company, at the time of grant, issuance, vesting, exercise, or payment of an Award, one or more shares of Common Stock owned by such Participant and having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date of such grant, issuance, vesting, exercise, or payment, as the case may be) up to or equal to (but not in excess of) the amount of the taxes incurred in connection with such grant, issuance, vesting, exercise, or payment, as the case may be.

     18. Termination of Services.

          (a) Definition of “Service”. For purposes of the Plan, unless otherwise (i) determined by the Committee, (ii) set forth in the agreement or other documents evidencing the Award, or (iii) set forth in an employment agreement or any other written agreement with or policy of the Company, a Participant will be deemed to be in “Service” to the Company so long as such individual renders continuous services on a periodic basis to the Company (or to any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) in the capacity of an Employee, Consultant, director, or other advisor. In the discretion of the Committee, a Participant will be considered to be rendering continuous services to the Company even if the type of services change, e.g., from Employee to Consultant. A Participant will be considered to be an Employee for so long as such individual remains in the employ of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. Except as otherwise (A) determined by the Committee, (B) set forth in the agreement or other documents evidencing the Award, or (C) set forth in an employment agreement or any other written agreement with or policy of the Company, a Participant’s Service with the Company shall be deemed terminated if the Participant’s leave of absence (including military or other bona fide leave of absence) extends for more than 90 days and the Participant’s continued Service with the Company is not guaranteed by contract or statute; provided that whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute termination of Service shall be determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion.

          (b) Termination of Awards Upon Termination of Service. Except as otherwise (i) determined by the Committee, (ii) set forth in the agreement or other documents evidencing the Award, or (iii) set forth in an employment agreement or any other written agreement with or policy of the Company:

               (i) Termination of Service Other than for Cause, Disability, Death, or Retirement. If the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated for any reason other than Cause, or other than as the result of the Participant’s Disability, death, or Retirement, then (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the expiration of the longer of (1) 90 days after such termination, or (2) 30 days following the end of any blackout period to which the Participant may be subject, on which date they shall expire, provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term; (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination; (C) a portion of any unvested shares of Restricted Stock, RSUs, SARs, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Bonuses, Cash Awards, or other stock-based Awards, to the extent not otherwise forfeited or canceled on or prior to such termination, shall vest on the date of such termination in such amount (which may be equal to zero) as determined by the Committee (1) pursuant to a formula, (2) based on the achievement of any conditions imposed by the Committee on the Grant Date of such Awards, or (3) otherwise in the Committee’s discretion; and (D) all other unvested shares of Restricted Stock, RSUs, SARs, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Bonuses, Cash Awards, or other stock-based Awards shall be forfeited as of the commencement of business on the date of the Participant’s termination of Service.

               (ii) Termination of Service for Cause. Except as set forth in Section 18(b)(v), in the event of the termination of a Participant’s Service for Cause, all outstanding Awards granted to such Participant shall immediately expire and be forfeited as of the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

               (iii) Termination of Service Upon Disability or Death. If the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated as the result of the Participant’s Disability or death, (A) all of the unvested Options and SARs granted to such Participant shall become fully and immediately exercisable, (B) all Incentive Stock Options granted to such Participant shall remain exercisable until the expiration of one year after such termination or, if earlier, until the expiration of their term(s), on which date they shall expire, (C) all Non-Qualified Stock Options, and SARs granted to such Participant shall remain exercisable until the expiration of one year after such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (D) all other Awards granted to such Participant shall immediately be forfeited as of the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

               (iv) Termination of Service Upon Retirement. To the extent provided in the agreement evidencing a Participant’s Award, if the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, the Participant’s Award will terminate in the manner set forth in the agreement governing the Award. If the agreement governing the Award does not address Retirement, this Section 18(b)(iv) shall not apply to the Award and, with respect to such Award, Section 18(b)(i) shall be applied without regard to the term “Retirement” contained therein.

               (v) Termination of Performance Awards Upon Termination of Service. With respect to Performance Awards, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for any reason prior to the expiration of the applicable performance period then such Performance Awards shall immediately be forfeited as of the commencement of business on the date of such termination, except (i) as may be determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, or (ii) as may be otherwise provided in the agreement evidencing such Performance Award.

          (c) Limitations with Respect to Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the period in which any Options that are intended to be Incentive Stock Options may remain exercisable following the termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company shall not exceed the maximum period of time that such Options may remain exercisable pursuant to Code Section 422.

          (d) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 18, the term “year” means 365 calendar days beginning with the calendar day on which the relevant event occurs.

     19. Plan Amendment and Termination; Bifurcation of the Plan. The Committee may amend, change, make additions to, or suspend or terminate the Plan as it may, from time to time, deem necessary or appropriate and in the best interests of the Company; provided that the Committee may not, without the consent of the affected Participant, take any action that disqualifies any Incentive Stock Option previously granted under the Plan for treatment as an Incentive Stock Option or that adversely affects or impairs the rights of any Award outstanding under the Plan; and provided further that, to the extent that stockholder approval of an amendment to the Plan is required by applicable law or the requirements of any securities exchange or trading market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, such amendment shall not be effective prior to approval by the Company’s stockholders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants. Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or termination of the Plan shall, with respect to any Section 409A Award, be done in a manner that would violate the requirements of Code Section 409A.

     20. Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.

          (a) Adjustment of Shares Available. If there is any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from the payment of any stock dividend or from any stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, or recapitalization of shares or any like capital adjustment, the Committee shall (i) have authority, in its absolute discretion, to proportionately adjust the aggregate number and type of shares available for Awards under the Plan, and (ii) proportionally adjust (A) the maximum number and type of shares or other securities that may be subject to Awards to any individual under the Plan, (B) the number and type of shares or other

securities covered by each outstanding Award, and (C) the Exercise Price per share (but not the total price) for Awards outstanding under the Plan, in each case in order to prevent the enlargement or dilution of rights of the Participants under such Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment to shares subject to a Section 409A Award must be done in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A. In addition, if an adjustment would result in an Award, which is not a Section 409A Award, becoming a Section 409A Award, then the Committee shall not make the adjustment without the express written consent of the Participant.

          (b) Change in Control. Except as otherwise (i) determined by the Committee, (ii) set forth in the agreement or other documents evidencing the Award, or (iii) set forth in an employment agreement or any other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or any policy of the Company, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, (A) all unvested Options and SARs granted to each Participant shall become vested and fully and immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable until their expiration, termination, or cancellation, (B) all shares of Restricted Stock, RSUs, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Bonuses, Cash Awards, and other stock-based Awards granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan that have not yet vested shall immediately vest, (C) the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to such Change in Control) shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether Performance Awards, for which the requisite Performance Goals have not been satisfied or for which the performance period has not expired, shall immediately be paid or whether such Performance Awards shall remain outstanding according to their respective terms, and (D) the Acquiror shall either assume the Company’s rights and obligations under all outstanding Awards or substitute for outstanding Awards substantially equivalent Awards for the Acquiror’s stock. The vesting and/or exercise of any Award that is permissible solely by reason of this Section 20(b) shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control.

          (c) Adjustments to Outstanding Restricted Stock, RSUs, and SARs. If a Participant receives any securities or other property (including dividends paid in cash) with respect to a share of Restricted Stock, RSU, or SAR that has not vested as of the date of the payment of any stock dividend or any stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, or recapitalization of shares or any like capital adjustment, then such securities or other property will not vest until such share of Restricted Stock, RSU, or SAR vests and shall be held by the Company as if such securities or other property were non-vested shares of Restricted Stock, RSUs, or SARs.

          (d) Adjustment Upon Certain Mergers, etc. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, if the Company is the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or consolidation as a result of which the holders of shares of Common Stock receive securities of another corporation), each Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation shall entitle the Participant to acquire upon exercise, if applicable, the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award would have received in such merger or consolidation.

          (e) Adjustment Upon Certain Other Transactions. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Common Stock receive securities of another entity and/or other property, including cash, the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, have the power to (i) cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable) and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Award was granted an amount in cash, for each share of Common Stock subject to such Award, equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a share of Common Stock as a result of such event over (B) the Exercise Price, if any, of such Award; or (ii) provide for the exchange of each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable) for an option on some or all of the property for which such Award is exchanged and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion in the Exercise Price of the Award, or the number of shares or amount of property subject to the Award or, if appropriate, provide for a cash payment to the Participant to whom such Award was granted in full or partial consideration for the exchange of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments pursuant to this paragraph shall not be done if the adjustment is to a Section 409A Award and the adjustment is not permitted under Code Section 409A or if the adjustment is to an Award not subject to Code Section 409A and would cause the Award to become a Section 409A Award, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Participant.

          (f) No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, or in any agreement governing the Award, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation of the Company or any other entity. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, or in any agreement governing the Award, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award or the Exercise Price of any Award.

     21. Approval by Stockholders; Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan was originally adopted by the Board of Directors of Allied Waste Industries, Inc. on March 8, 1991, and has subsequently been amended and restated on several occasions. The Plan was most recently approved by the stockholders of the Company on May 25, 2006. The Plan was most recently amended and restated by the Board on November 14, 2008. The terms and conditions of the Plan as of the Effective Date (as the Plan may be subsequently amended) shall control all Awards granted under the Plan prior to or after the Effective Date, provided that, without the consent of the affected Participant, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall not be interpreted in a manner that disqualifies any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan prior to the Effective Date for treatment as an Incentive Stock Option or that adversely affects or impairs the rights of any Award outstanding under the Plan prior to the Effective Date, and the Plan shall remain in full force and effect through May 25, 2016, unless sooner terminated by the Committee. After the Plan is terminated, no future Awards may be granted under the Plan, but Awards previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the Plan’s terms and conditions.

     22. General Restrictions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability to deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or other trading market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded. To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange or other trading market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded.

     23. Compliance With Applicable Law.

          (a) Exchange Act Section 16. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, only the entire Board or a Committee composed of two or more Non-Employee Directors may make determinations regarding grants of Awards to persons subject to Section 16 under the Exchange Act.

          (b) Code Section 162(m). The Committee shall have the authority and discretion to determine the extent to which Awards will conform to the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and to take such action, establish such procedures, and impose such restrictions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to such requirements. To the extent any provisions of the Plan or action by the Committee or Board fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee or Board.

          (c) Code Section 409A. To the extent an Award granted under this Plan is subject to Code Section 409A because it both falls within the scope of Code Section 409A and does not satisfy an applicable exemption from Code Section 409A (“Section 409A Award”), the Section 409A Award is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and any related regulations or other guidance promulgated with respect to such section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. Therefore, the Committee shall not make any changes or adjustments to the Section 409A Award that is not in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A without the express written consent of the Participant. Also, if an Award granted under the Plan is not a Section 409A Award, notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Committee shall take no action that causes the Award to become a Section 409A Award without the express written consent of the Participant.

     24. No Rights as a Stockholder. No person shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by or relating to any Award granted pursuant to this Plan until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate with respect to such shares or the date of issuance of shares on a non-certificated basis pursuant to policies adopted by the Company from time to time.

     25. No Special Employment Rights; No Right to Awards. Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her Service by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such Service or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence on the Grant Date of an Award. No person shall have any claim or right to receive any Award under this Plan. The grant of an Award to a Participant at any time shall neither require the Committee to grant an Award to such Participant or any other Participant or other person at any other time nor preclude the Committee from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any other Participant or other person.

     26. Expenses and Receipts. The expenses of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. Any proceeds received by the Company in connection with any Award will be used for general corporate purposes.

     27. Failure to Comply. In addition to the remedies of the Company elsewhere provided for herein, failure by a Participant to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the Plan or the agreement executed by such Participant evidencing an Award, unless such failure is remedied by such Participant within 10 days after having been notified of such failure by the Committee, shall be grounds for the cancellation and forfeiture of such Award, in whole or in part as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, may determine.

     28. Plan Not Exclusive. This Plan is not intended to be the exclusive means by which the Company may issue options, warrants, or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock.

     29. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and all questions arising hereunder shall be determined in accordance with, the laws of the State of Arizona, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

     30. Limitation of Implied Rights. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property that the Company, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the Common Stock or other amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute an obligation to pay any benefits to any person.

Most Recent Amendment and Restatement Effective January 1, 2008;
This Amendment and Restatement Effective November 14, 2008]

1. Purpose of the Plan

     The Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan was adopted, subject to shareholder approval, for the benefit of Non-Employee Directors of Allied Waste Industries, Inc. The Plan is intended to advance the interests of Allied Waste Industries, Inc. by providing the Non-Employee Directors with additional incentive to serve Allied Waste Industries, Inc. by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of Allied Waste Industries, Inc.

     On June 22, 2008, Allied Waste Industries, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with and among Republic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Republic”), and RS Merger Wedge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Republic (the “Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Allied Waste Industries, Inc. (the “Merger”) and, as a result, Allied Waste Industries, Inc. will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement”).

     Effective on and after the Effective Time, the Plan is to be referred to as the “Republic Services, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan (f/k/a the Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan)” and Republic Services, Inc. is to be the new sponsor of this Plan. In addition, any references to shares of Common Stock is to shares of the common stock of Republic Services, Inc. and necessary adjustments have been made to the number of shares of common stock available for grant under this Plan, as well as to outstanding Awards, to reflect the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement). This Amendment and Restatement reflects these changes.

     In addition, no new Awards shall be granted under this Plan on or after the Effective Time.

     This Amendment and Restatement is subject to and conditioned upon the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger. In the event that the Closing does not occur, then this Amendment and Restatement shall be void and the prior amendment and restatement of the Plan shall remain in effect.

     No new Awards shall be granted under this Plan on or after the Effective Time.

5. Awards

     (a) Initial Grant to New Directors. Beginning on the initial Effective Date of this Plan and for so long as this Plan is in effect and shares of Common Stock are available for the grant of Awards, each New Director shall be granted shares of Restricted Stock (or, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, Restricted Stock Units or Options) having a Fair Market Value of $150,000, which shares shall be awarded on the later of (i) the date of the New Director’s initial election to the Board or (ii) the date upon which the New Director first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan. Restricted Stock granted under this Section 5(a) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6; provided, however, that no new awards shall be granted on or after the Effective Time.

     (b) Annual Grant. Beginning on the initial Effective Date and for so long as this Plan is in effect and shares of Common Stock are available for the grant of Awards, each Eligible Director shall, on each date on which he or she is elected or reelected to the Board, be granted shares of Restricted Stock (or, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, Restricted Stock Units or Options) having a Fair Market Value of $55,000, which shares shall be awarded on the date of reelection. Restricted Stock granted under this Section 5(b) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6; provided, however, that no new awards shall be granted on or after the Effective Time.

     (c) Determination of Number of Shares. The number of shares of Restricted Stock subject to each Award granted pursuant to Section 5(a) or 5(b) shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount set forth in Section 5(a) or 5(b), as the case may be, by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of the Award; provided, however, that the number of shares of Restricted Stock shall be rounded downward such that no fractional share shall be issued.

     (d) Restricted Stock Units or Options in Lieu of Shares of Restricted Stock. The Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may determine that one or more Initial Grants or Annual Grants under this Plan shall be made in the form of RSUs or Options. If the Plan Administrator determines that RSUs are to be awarded instead of shares of Restricted Stock, then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each award of RSUs shall be the number of shares of Restricted Stock that otherwise would have been awarded, (ii)the RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6, and (iii) the agreement evidencing the RSUs shall specify whether payment, upon vesting, will be made in the form of Common Stock (whereby the Director will receive one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit) or in cash (whereby the Director will receive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock at the time of vesting times the number of vested RSUs). If the Plan Administrator determines that Options are to be awarded instead of shares of Restricted Stock, then (A) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Option shall be three times the number of shares of Restricted Stock that otherwise would have been awarded, and (B) the Options shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.

     (e) Vesting. An Award made under Section 5(a) above shall be subject to the following vesting schedule: 0% vested until the last day of the Director’s first one-year term ending after the date of grant; 1/3 vested on the last day of the Director’s first one-year term ending after the date of grant; an additional 1/3 vested on the last day of the Director’s second one-year term ending after the date of grant; and an additional 1/3 vested on the last day of the Director’s third one-year term ending after the date of grant. An Award made under Section 5(b) above shall be subject to the following vesting schedule: 0% vested until the last day of the Director’s first one-year term ending after the date of grant, and 100% vested on the last day of the Director’s first one-year term ending after the date of grant. Upon vesting, shares of Restricted Stock and/or RSUs shall no longer be subject to any restrictions set forth in Section 6, and Options may be exercised pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7. Any portion of an Award granted under Section 5(a) or 5(b) that remains unvested as of the date a Director ceases to be a Director for any reason shall be forfeited. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 5(e), an Award shall be fully vested in the event of the Director’s death or as otherwise provided in the agreement evidencing the Director’s Award.

     (f) Adjustments to Amount of Initial Grants and Annual Grants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, (i) adjust (upward or downward) the nominal dollar value of Initial Grants under Section 5(a); provided, however, that the Board may not increase the nominal dollar value of Initial Grants to more than $200,000 in the aggregate during the term of the Plan; and (b) adjust (upward or downward) the nominal dollar value of Annual Grants under Section 5(b); provided, however, that the Board may not increase the nominal value of Annual Grants to more than $80,000 in the aggregate during the term of the Plan.

     (g) Awards to Designee Directors. A Designee Director may provide written notice to the Plan Administrator to instruct the Plan Administrator to issue any Awards that would be issuable to such Designee Director under the Plan to the Designee Director’s Designating Person or its Affiliates. Upon receipt of such notice, the Plan Administrator shall cause all Awards that would otherwise be issuable to the Designee Director under the Plan to be issued to the Designee Director’s Designating Person or its Affiliates, according to the instructions set forth in such notice.

6. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

     (a) Issuance of Certificates for Restricted Stock. Reasonably promptly after the award of shares of Restricted Stock under Section 5(a) or 5(b), the Company shall cause to be issued a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Director to whom such shares were granted, evidencing such shares; provided that the Company shall not cause such stock certificate to be issued unless it has received a stock power duly endorsed in blank with respect to such shares. Each such stock certificate shall bear the following legend:

     Prior to the Effective Time:

The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms, and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) contained in the Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and an agreement entered into between the registered owner of such shares and Allied Waste Industries, Inc. A copy of the Plan and agreement is on file in the office of the Secretary of Allied Waste Industries, Inc.

     On or after the Effective Time:

The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms, and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) contained in the Republic Services, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan, f/n/a the Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and an agreement entered into between the registered owner of such shares and Republic Services, Inc. A copy of the Plan and agreement is on file in the office of the Secretary of Republic Services, Inc.

Such legend shall not be removed from the certificate evidencing such shares until such shares vest pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

     Each certificate issued pursuant to the above paragraph, together with the stock powers relating to the shares of Restricted Stock evidenced by such certificate, shall be held by the Company. The Company shall issue to the Director a receipt evidencing the certificates that are registered in the name of the Director and held by the Company.

     Reasonably promptly after a share of Restricted Stock vests pursuant to the terms of Section 5(e), the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Director to whom such shares were granted a certificate evidencing such shares, free of the legend set forth above. Delivery of the certificate shall be effected for all purposes when the Company shall have deposited such certificate in the United States mail, addressed to the Director.

     (b) Issuance of Certificates or Cash Payment Upon Vesting of RSUs. If shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon vesting of RSUs, then within 60 days after the vesting of such RSUs the Company shall cause to be issued a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Director to whom such Units were granted, evidencing the shares, provided that such stock certificate shall not be required to bear the legend set forth in Section 6(a). Delivery of the certificate shall be effected for all purposes when the Company shall have deposited such certificate in the United States mail, addressed to the Director. If, under Section 5(d), a cash payment is to be made upon vesting of RSUs, then within 60 days after the vesting of such RSUs the Company shall cause a lump sum payment to be made to the Director.

     (c) Restrictions on Transfer. Prior to vesting, a Director shall be entitled to assign or transfer a share of Restricted Stock and all of the rights related thereto only to the extent permitted by this Section 6(c). Any such assignment or transfer must not be for value and shall be limited to an assignment or transfer to: (i) a child, stepchild, grandchild, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships; (ii) any person sharing the Director’s household (other than a tenant or employee); (iii) a trust in which the Director or any of the persons described in clause (i) or (ii), above, hold more than 50% of the beneficial interest; or (iv) a private foundation in which the Director or any of the persons described in clause (i) or (ii), above, own more than 50% of the voting interests. A transfer to any entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by the Director or any of the persons described in clause (i) or (ii), above, in exchange for an interest in that entity shall not constitute a transfer for value. Prior to vesting, a Director shall not be entitled to assign or transfer any interest in any RSUs.

     (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of shares of Restricted Stock awarded under this Plan shall have the same voting, dividend, and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders (except that the transfer of such shares is limited in accordance with Section 6(c) prior to vesting); provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may require in the agreement granting the shares of Restricted Stock that cash dividends be invested in additional shares of Restricted Stock, subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. Holders of RSUs awarded under this Plan shall have no voting, dividend, or other rights as stockholders of the Company unless and until such RSUs vest and certificates for shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to Section 6(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement evidencing RSUs may provide, in the event of a cash dividend paid by the Company to holders of Common Stock generally, for the crediting of an additional number of RSUs (“Additional

Restricted Stock Units”) equal to the total number of whole RSUs and any Additional Restricted Stock Units previously credited multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock by the Company, divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock. The agreement also may provide, in the event of a stock dividend paid by the Company to holders of Common Stock generally, for the crediting of Additional Restricted Stock Units equal to the total number of whole RSUs and Additional Restricted Stock Units previously credited multiplied by the share dividend paid per share of Common Stock by the Company. Any Additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and restrictions as the RSUs to which they relate.

     (e) Deferral of Issuance of Common Stock Upon Vesting of RSUs. A Director who is eligible to participate in any Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to defer the dates on which shares of Common Stock are to be issued pursuant to one or more RSUs, but only in a manner that is either exempt from or that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). The Director’s election shall be made pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. When the election occurs, the RSU(s) subject to the election will be transferred into a deferred compensation account established under the Deferred Compensation Plan and will be subject to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Notwithstanding any election to defer the date(s) on which shares of Common Stock are to be issued pursuant to one or more RSUs, all RSUs will continue to be subject to the vesting provisions set forth in this Plan and the RSU Award.

     (f) Conversion of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units; Cash-Out for Certain Directors. At the Effective Time, each share of Restricted Stock, each RSU and each deferred RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a restricted share, restricted stock unit or a deferred restricted stock unit with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock based upon the Exchange Ratio in accordance with and subject to the provisions contained in the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Director that will no longer be a Director as of the Effective Time, each share of Restricted Stock, each RSU and each deferred RSU that was granted to such Director and is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, immediately prior to such Effective Time, be cancelled in exchange for a lump sum cash payment pursuant to terms and conditions set forth by the Board and consistent with the terms of Section 9 of this Plan, the Award agreement and the Merger Agreement.

7. Options

     (a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock of each Option granted to a Director pursuant to this Plan shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

     (b) Option Agreement. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement, in a form approved by the Plan Administrator, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Any agreement may contain such other terms, provisions, and conditions as may be determined by the Plan Administrator, so long as such terms are not inconsistent with the Plan.

     (c) Term and Exercise of Options. Each option agreement shall provide that the Option shall expire ten (10) years from the date of the grant.

     (d) Procedure for Exercise of Options. An Option shall be exercised by delivering notice to the Company’s principal office, to the attention of its Secretary, along with the agreement evidencing the Option and payment for shares of Common Stock to be purchased upon the exercise of the Option. The notice must specify the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised and must be signed by the Director (or his or her executor or administrator). Payment shall be made either (i) in cash, by certified check, bank cashier’s check or wire transfer, (ii) subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, in shares of Common Stock owned by the Director for a period of at least six months prior to the effective date on which the Option is exercised and valued at their Fair Market Value on the effective date of such exercise, (iii) subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, in the form of a “cashless exercise” (as described in Section 7(e), below), or (iv) subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, in any combination of the foregoing. Any payment in shares of Common Stock shall be effected by the delivery of such shares to the Secretary of the Company, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank, together with any other documents and evidences as the Secretary of the Company shall require from time to time. The effective date on which an Option is exercised shall be established by the Secretary of the Company and shall occur within an administratively reasonable period of time (but no later than five business days) after the Secretary receives the notice, agreement, and payment referred to above. Prior to the exercise date, the Director may withdraw the notice, in which case the Option will not be exercised.

     (e) Cashless Exercise. The cashless exercise of an Option shall be pursuant to procedures whereby the Director, by written notice, irrevocably directs (i) an immediate market sale or margin loan with respect to all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock to which he or she is entitled upon exercise pursuant to an extension of credit by a brokerage firm or other party (provided that the brokerage firm or other party is not affiliated with the Company) of the exercise price and any tax withholding obligations resulting from such exercise, (ii) the delivery of the shares of Common Stock directly from the Company to such brokerage firm or other party, and (iii) delivery to the Company from the brokerage firm or other party, from the proceeds of the sale or the margin loan, of an amount sufficient to pay the exercise price and any tax withholding obligations resulting from such exercise.

     (f) Termination of Options. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, each Option, to the extent it shall not have been exercised previously, shall terminate on the earliest of the following:

     (i) On the last day of the three-month period commencing on the date on which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, other than the death of the Director, during which period the Director shall be entitled to exercise all Options held by the Director on the date on which the Director ceased to be a member of the Board that could have been exercised on such date;

     (ii) On the last day of the six-month period commencing on the Director’s death while serving as a member of the Board, during which period the executor or administrator of the Director’s estate or the person or persons to whom the Director’s Option shall have been transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution shall be entitled to exercise all Options in respect of the number of shares that the Director would have been entitled to purchase had the Director exercised such Options on the date of his or her death; or

     (iii) Ten years after the date of grant of such Option.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in the Plan or Award and no action by the Plan Administrator shall cause an Option to be extended, after the initial grant date, beyond a period of ten years after the initial grant date. For purposes of this Section 7(f), “month” means 31 calendar days beginning with the calendar day on which the relevant event occurs, and “year” means 365 calendar days beginning with the calendar day on which the relevant event occurs.

     (g) Assignability of Options. Except as set forth in this Section 7(g), during the lifetime of a Director each Option granted to him or her shall be exercisable only by him or her or a broker-dealer acting on his or her behalf pursuant to Section 7(e). No Option shall be assignable or transferable for value. Each Option may be assigned by a Director by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Additionally, each Option may be assigned to: (i) a child, stepchild, grandchild, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, (ii) any person sharing the Director’s household (other than a tenant or employee), (iii) a trust in which the Director or any of the persons described in clause (i) or (ii), above, hold more than 50% of the beneficial interest, or (d) a private foundation in which the Director or any of the persons described in clause (i) or (ii), above, own more than 50% of the voting interests. A transfer to any entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by the Director or any of the persons described in clause (i) or (ii), above, in exchange for an interest in that entity shall not constitute a transfer for value for purposes of this Section 7(g).

     (h) No Rights as a Stockholder. No Director shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates representing such shares. Except as provided in Section 12 of this Plan, no adjustment for dividends or otherwise shall be made if the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the certificates representing shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of the Option.

     (i) Conversion of Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an Option with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock based upon the Exchange Ratio with an adjusted exercise price based upon the Exchange Ratio, in accordance with and subject to the provisions contained in the Merger Agreement.

8. Election Regarding Cash Fee Awards

     (a) Election to Receive Equity in Lieu of Cash Fee Awards. Each Eligible Director may elect, on or prior to the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, in a writing delivered to the Company’s principal executive offices, to have all or any portion of his or her Cash Fee Awards paid to him or her in shares of Common Stock. Such election by a Director shall remain valid until the date of the annual meeting of stockholders in the following year and, if the Director does not make another written election with respect to his or her Cash Fee Awards at that time, his or her Cash Fee Awards for the next year shall be paid in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if there are not sufficient shares of Common Stock available under the Plan to make payment of the Cash Fee Awards in the form of Common Stock, the Cash Fee Awards will be paid in cash, and (b) Common Stock shall not be available under this Plan to make payment of the Cash Fee Awards for service on or after the Effective Time and, therefore, any such Cash Fee Awards will be paid in cash.

     (b) Determination of Number of Shares Subject to Cash Fee Awards. If an Eligible Director elects to have his or her Cash Fee Award paid in Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Cash Fee Award to be paid in the form of shares by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Cash Fee Award is earned; provided, however, that the number of shares of Common Stock shall be rounded downward such that no fractional share shall be issued.

     (c) Vesting. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Plan, shares of Common Stock paid to a Director in lieu of Cash Fee Awards will not be subject to vesting.

9. Extraordinary Corporate Transactions

     If the Company effects a merger, consolidation, acquisition, separation, reorganization, liquidation or similar transaction, the Company may substitute new Awards for the Awards then outstanding under the Plan or a corporation other than the Company, including (without limitation) a parent or subsidiary of the Company, may assume the Company’s duties as to Awards then outstanding under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Section 11 of this Plan, in the event such corporation or parent or subsidiary of the Company does not substitute new and substantially equivalent Awards for, or assume, the Awards then outstanding under the Plan, all such outstanding Awards shall be cancelled immediately prior to the effective date of such extraordinary corporation transaction and, in full consideration of such cancellation, each Director to whom the Awards were granted shall be paid an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Restricted Stock held by the Director plus the number shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting of RSUs and exercise of Options held by the Director times (b) the value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by a holder of one share of Common Stock as a result of such event, reduced by (c) the aggregate exercise price of all Options held by such Director.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services either on direct sale or on the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or on conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding Awards.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, the foregoing shall not be applicable to an Award if (a) the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code or the application of the foregoing would cause the Award to become subject to Section 409A and (b) application of the foregoing would result in a violation of Section 409A.

10. Investment Representations

     If the shares issuable upon the vesting of shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs or upon exercise of an Option are not registered under the Securities Act, the Company may imprint on the certificate representing such shares the following legend or any other legend that counsel for the Company considers necessary or advisable to comply with the Securities Act:

THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT UPON SUCH REGISTRATION OR UPON RECEIPT BY THE CORPORATION OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER.

The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities under this Plan pursuant to the Securities Act and, if any shares are so registered, the Company may remove any legend on certificates representing such shares. The Company shall not be obligated to take any other affirmative action to cause the vesting of shares of Restricted Stock, the vesting of RSUs, or the exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.

11. Amendment or Termination

     The Board may amend, modify, revise or terminate this Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that without the degree of stockholder approval required by the Company’s charter or bylaws, applicable law, or the rules and regulations of any exchange or trading market on which the Company’s securities are then traded, the Board may not: (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to Eligible Directors under this Plan; (b) materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan; or (c) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in this Plan. All Awards granted under this Plan shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan and any amendment, modification or revision of this Plan shall be deemed to amend, modify or revise all Awards outstanding under this Plan at the time of such amendment, modification or revision, provided that no amendment, modification, or revision of any Award that adversely affects the rights of the holder of such award shall be effective with respect to such Award without the consent of the holder of such Award. At the discretion of the Board, all outstanding Awards may be forfeited and terminated if this Plan is terminated by action of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment, modification, revision or termination that relates to an Award that is subject to Section 409A or that would result in an Award becoming subject to Section 409A may only be made in a manner that complies with the provisions of Section 409A.

12. Changes in the Company’s Capital Structure

     The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s assets or business, any reorganization or other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business,

any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock senior to or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares thereof, then:

     (a) The number of shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs then outstanding under the Plan shall be proportionately adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying such number of shares of Common Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is that number of outstanding shares of Common Stock after giving effect to such combination or subdivision and the denominator of which is that number of outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to such combination or subdivision.

     (b) The exercise price of any Option then outstanding under the Plan shall be proportionately adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying such exercise price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to such combination or subdivision and the denominator of which is that number of outstanding shares of Common Stock after giving effect to such combination or subdivision; and

     (c) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any Option then outstanding under the Plan shall be proportionately adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying such number of shares of Common Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is that number of outstanding shares of Common Stock after giving effect to such combination or subdivision and the denominator of which is that number of outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to such combination or subdivision.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment to shares of Common Stock subject to an Award must be done in accordance with any applicable requirements of Section 409A.

13. Compliance With Other Laws and Regulations

     The Plan, the grant of Awards, and the obligation of the Company to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock upon vesting of shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs or upon exercise of Options shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations and to such approvals by such governmental or regulatory agency or national securities exchange as may be required. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares upon vesting of shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs or upon exercise of any Option if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Director or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority; provided, however, that the shares shall be issued as soon as the Company reasonably believes that the issuance will not cause a violation to occur. Each Award granted under this Plan shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Plan Administrator shall determine that (a) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject thereto on any securities exchange or trading market or under any state or federal law of the United States or of any other country or governmental subdivision thereof, (b) the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, or (c) the making of investment or other representations are necessary or desirable in connection with the issue or purchase of shares subject thereto, no shares of Common Stock may be issued upon grant, vesting, or exercise of any Award Option unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or representation shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Plan Administrator. Any determination in this connection by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

14. Limitation of Liability; Indemnification of Committee and Board of Directors

     No member of the Board, the Allied Board or the Committee shall be liable for any act or omission of any other member of the Board, Allied Board or the Committee or for any act or omission on his or her own part, including (without limitation) the exercise of any power or discretion given to him or her under this Plan, except those resulting from his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless any person who at any time is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) in any way relating to or arising out of this Plan or any Awards granted hereunder by reason of the fact that such person is or was at any time a director of the Company or a member of the Committee against judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. This right of indemnification shall inure to the benefit of heirs, executors, and administrators of each such person and is in addition to all other rights to which such person may be entitled by virtue of the bylaws of the Company or as a matter of law, contract or otherwise.

15. Effective Date; Expiration of the Plan

     This Plan, which provides for grants of shares of Restricted Stock, RSUs, and Options, shall become effective on the Effective Date. Options previously granted under the Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 1994 Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan shall remain in full force and effect under the terms of such Options and this Plan. No Awards shall be granted pursuant to this Plan on or after May 20, 2015 or, if earlier, the Effective Time.
