Prudential Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan



 Exhibit 10.15 
 PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC. 
 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN 
 (Amended and Restated Effective November 11, 2008) 
 ARTICLE I  
 PURPOSE 
 The purpose of the “Prudential Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”) is to foster and promote the long-term financial
success of Prudential Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) and materially increase shareholder value by (a) motivating superior employee performance by means of performance-related incentives, (b) encouraging and providing for the
acquisition of an ownership interest in the Company by the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ (as hereinafter defined) employees, and (c) enabling the Company to attract and retain the services of employees upon whose judgment, interest,
and effort the successful conduct of its operations is largely dependent. 
 The Company has previously adopted the Prudential Financial,
Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), which was intended to provide similar equity-based compensation incentives through the grant of stock options and stock appreciation rights. Effective upon the adoption of the Plan by
shareholders of the Company, the Stock Option Plan will be merged into this Plan, thereby making available for the grant of awards under this Plan any authorized but unused shares of Common Stock (as herein defined) not already used for such purpose
under the Stock Option Plan. All outstanding award grants under the Stock Option Plan shall continue in full force and effect, subject to their original terms, after the Stock Option Plan is merged into the Plan under the terms and conditions noted
above.

 Section 4.3 409A Compliance. The Plan is intended to be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of Section 409A of the Code. Where reasonably possible and
practicable, the Plan shall be administered in a manner to avoid the imposition on Eligible Individuals of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes pursuant to such Section 409A of the Code. To that end, and without limiting the

performance criteria) shall be paid not later than two and one-half months (or such other time as is required to cause such amounts not to be treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code) following the end of the taxable year
of the Company or the Eligible Individual in which the Eligible Individual’s rights with respect to the corresponding Award (or portion thereof) ceased to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
the Company nor the Committee shall have any liability to any person in the event Section 409A of the Code applies to any Award in a manner that results in adverse tax consequences for the Eligible Individual or any of his or her beneficiaries
or transferees. 
 Section 4.4 Participants Based Outside the United States. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Committee, to conform with provisions of local laws 

  

 11

of Awards granted to Participants employed outside the United States, (b) establish subplans with modified exercise procedures and such other modifications as may be necessary or advisable under the circumstances presented by local laws and

as it deems appropriate with respect to any Participant who becomes eligible to receive a performance-based Award after the commencement of a Performance Cycle. 
 Section 4.6 Restrictive Covenants and Other Conditions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may condition the grant of any Award under the Plan upon the Participant to whom such
Award would be granted agreeing in writing to certain conditions in addition to the provisions regarding exercisability of the Award (such as restrictions on the ability to transfer the underlying shares of Common Stock) or covenants in favor of the
Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, covenants not to compete, not to solicit employees and customers and not to disclose confidential information) that may have effect during or following the termination of the
Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and before or after the Award has been exercised, including, without limitation, the requirement that the Participant disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect
of the exercise of the Award prior to any breach of any such covenant by the Participant). 
 Section 4.7 Performance Based
Compensation Interpretations; Limitations on Discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent the Committee has required upon grant that any Annual Incentive Award, Long-Term Performance Unit Award,
Performance Share, Restricted Unit or Restricted Stock must qualify as “other performance based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Code, the Committee shall (a) specify and approve the specific terms
of any Performance Goals with respect to such Awards in writing no later than ninety (90) days from the commencement of the Performance Cycle to which the Performance Goal or Goals relate, and (b) not be entitled to exercise any subsequent
discretion otherwise authorized under the Plan (such as the right to authorize payout at a level above that dictated by the achievement of the relevant Performance Goals) with respect to such Award if the ability to exercise discretion (as opposed
to the exercise of such discretion) would cause such Award to fail to qualify as other performance based compensation. 
 Section 4.8
Indemnification. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, omission or determination relating to the Plan, and the Company shall 

  

 12 








 
indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the
administration or interpretation of the Plan has been delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel 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 related to the Plan, if, in either case, such member, director or employee made or took such action, omission, or determination in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

an Option agreement (in electronic or written form) that shall specify the type of Option granted, the exercise price, the duration of the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Option pertains, and such other terms and conditions
as the Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. Options may be granted in tandem with SARs (as described in more detail in Article VII), and/or with associated Dividend Equivalents (as described in more
detail in Article VIII). 
 Section 6.2 Exercise Price; No Repricing or Substitution of Options. Nonstatutory Stock Options and
ISOs granted pursuant to the Plan shall have an exercise price no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted. Except as a result of any Adjustment Event, the Committee shall not 

  

 15 








 
have the power or authority to reduce, whether through amendment or otherwise, the exercise price of any outstanding Option nor to grant any new Options or
other Awards in substitution for or upon the cancellation of Options previously granted which shall have the effect of reducing the exercise price of any outstanding Option. 
 Section 6.3 Exercise of Options. Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise at the time of grant, one-third (1/3) of each Option
granted pursuant to the Plan shall become exercisable on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the date such Option is granted; provided that the Committee may establish performance-based criteria for exercisability of any Option.
Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, once any portion of any Option has become exercisable it shall remain exercisable for its remaining term. Once exercisable, an Option may be exercised from time to time, in whole or in part, up to the
total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which it is then exercisable. The Committee shall determine the term of each Option granted, but, except as expressly provided below, in no event shall any such Option be exercisable for more
than 10 years after the date on which it is granted. 
 Section 6.4 Payment. The Committee shall establish procedures governing
the exercise of Options. No shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option unless arrangements satisfactory to the Committee have been made to assure full payment of the exercise price therefore. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, payment of the exercise price may be made: (a) in cash or its equivalent; (b) by exchanging shares of Common Stock (which are not the subject of any pledge or other security interest) owned by the person
exercising the Option (through actual tender or by attestation); (c) through an arrangement with a broker approved by the Company whereby payment of the exercise price is accomplished with the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock; or
(d) by any combination of the foregoing; provided that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents paid and the Fair Market Value of any such Common Stock so tendered to the Company, valued as of the date of such tender,
is at least equal to such exercise price. The Company may not make a loan to a Participant to facilitate such Participant’s exercise of any of his or her Options or payment of taxes. 
 Section 6.5 ISOs. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no Option that is intended to be an ISO may be granted after the
tenth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan. Except as may otherwise be provided for under the provisions of Article X of the Plan, no term of this Plan relating to ISOs shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or
authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the ISO or the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of any Participant affected thereby, to disqualify any ISO under such Section 422. 

 

 16 








 Section 6.6 Termination of Employment. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine at or
subsequent to the date of grant: 
 (a) Death. In the event a
Participant’s employment terminates due to his or her death, any Options granted to such Participant that are then not yet exercised shall become immediately exercisable in full and may be exercised by the Participant’s estate (or as may
otherwise be provided for in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.2) at any time prior to the earlier of the (i) expiration date of the term of the Options or (ii) third (3rd) anniversary (or such earlier date as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant) of the Participant’s death; provided, however, that Nonstatutory Stock
Options shall be deemed to be amended to provide that they are exercisable for not less than one (1) year after a Participant’s death even if such period exceeds the expiration date of the term of the original grant of such Nonstatutory
Stock Options. 
 (b) Disability. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to Disability, any
Options granted to such Participant that are then not yet exercised shall become immediately exercisable in full and may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration date of the term of the Options or within three
(3) years (or such shorter period as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant) following termination of the Participant’s employment, whichever period is shorter. 
 (c) Retirement. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to Approved Retirement, any Options granted to such
Participant that are then not yet exercised shall become immediately exercisable in full and may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration date of the term of the Options or within five (5) years (or such shorter
period as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant) following the Participant’s Approved Retirement, whichever period is shorter. 
 (d) For Cause. In the event a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, any Options granted to such Participant that are then not yet exercised shall be forfeited at the time of such termination
and shall not be exercisable thereafter and the Committee may, consistent with Section 4.6 of the Plan, require that such Participant disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of the exercise of any such Options for a
period of up to twelve (12) months prior to termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause. The provisions of this Section 6.6(d) will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by the Participant or otherwise) of a termination of
employment for any other reason enumerated under this Section 6.6. 
 (e) Resignation. In the event a
Participant’s employment terminates due to his or her resignation from the Company or any Subsidiary, any Options granted to such Participant that are then not yet exercised shall be forfeited at the time of such termination and shall not be
exercisable thereafter. 
  

 17 








 (f) Any Other Reason. In
the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to any reason other than one described in Section 6.6 (a) through (e), any Options granted to such Participant which are exercisable on the date of termination of the
Participant’s employment may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration date of the term of the Options or the ninetieth (90th) day following termination of the Participant’s employment, whichever period is shorter, and any Options that are not exercisable at the time of termination of employment shall be forfeited at the time of such termination and not
be exercisable thereafter. 
 ARTICLE VII  
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS (SARs) 
 Section 7.1 Grant of SARs. SARs may be granted
to any Participants, all Participants or any class of Participants at such time or times as shall be determined by the Committee. SARs may be granted in tandem with an Option, on a freestanding basis, not related to any other Award, and/or with
associated Dividend Equivalents. A grant of a SAR shall be evidenced in writing, whether as part of the agreement governing the terms of the Option, if any, to which such SARs relate or pursuant to a separate written agreement with respect to
freestanding SARs, in each case containing such provisions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall approve. 
 Section 7.2
Terms and Conditions of SARs. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, unless the Committee shall otherwise determine the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the exercise period of the SAR, the vesting schedule
applicable thereto and the impact of any termination of service on the Participant’s rights with respect to the SAR) applicable with respect to (i) SARs granted in tandem with an Option shall be substantially identical (to the
extent possible taking into account the differences related to the character of the SAR) to the terms and conditions applicable to the tandem Options and (ii) freestanding SARs shall be substantially identical (to the extent possible
taking into account the differences related to the character of the SAR) to the terms and conditions that would have been applicable under Section 6 were the grant of the SARs a grant of an Option (including, but not limited to, the application
of Section 6.6). 
 Section 7.3 Exercise of Tandem SARs. SARs that are granted in tandem with an Option may only be
exercised upon the surrender of the right to exercise such Option for an equivalent number of shares and may be exercised only with respect to the shares of Stock for which the related Award is then exercisable. 
  

 18 








 Section 7.4 Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, the holder shall be entitled to
receive payment, in cash, in shares of Common Stock or in a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee, of an amount determined by multiplying: 
 (a) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, by 
 (b) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the SARs are then being exercised; 
 provided, however, that at the time of grant with respect to any SAR payable in cash, the Committee may establish, in its sole discretion, a maximum amount per
share which will be payable upon the exercise of such SAR. 
 ARTICLE VIII  
 RESTRICTED STOCK, RESTRICTED UNITS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS 
 Section 8.1 Grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Units. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may make Awards to Participants of Restricted Stock or Restricted Units. Any Award made hereunder of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to any other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan (including, but not limited to, requiring the Participant to pay the Company an amount
equal to the par value per share for each share of Restricted Stock awarded) as shall be prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion, either at the time of grant or thereafter. As determined by the Committee, with respect to an Award of
Restricted Stock, the Company shall either (i) transfer or issue to each Participant to whom an award of Restricted Stock has been made the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified by the Committee or (ii) hold such shares of
Restricted Stock for the benefit of the Participant for the Restricted Period. In the case of an Award of Restricted Units, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued at the time an Award is made, and the Company shall not be required to set aside a
fund for the payment of such Award. Dividends or Dividends Equivalents (if connected with the grant of Restricted Units) may be subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Units. 
  

 19 








 Section 8.2 Grant, Terms and Conditions of Dividend Equivalents. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, may make Awards to Participants of Dividend Equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Units, Options, SARs and/or Performance Shares. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, the terms and conditions (including,
without limitation, the vesting schedule applicable thereto and the impact of any termination of service on the Participant’s rights with respect to the Dividend Equivalent) shall be substantially identical (to the extent possible taking into
account the differences related to the character of the Dividend Equivalent) to the terms and conditions applicable to the associated Award. 
 Section 8.3 Restrictions On Transferability. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered by the Participant during the Restricted Period,
except as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit (on such terms and conditions as it shall establish) shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Units to be transferred during the Restricted Periods pursuant to
Section 12.1, provided that any shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Units so transferred shall remain subject to the provisions of this Article VIII. 
 Section 8.4 Rights as a Shareholder. Except for the restrictions set forth herein and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect
to such shares of Restricted Stock, including but not limited to, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends. A Participant shall not have any right, in respect of Restricted Units or Dividend Equivalents awarded pursuant to the Plan, to
vote on any matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders until such time as the shares of Common Stock attributable to such Restricted Units (and, if applicable, Dividend Equivalents) have been issued. 
 Section 8.5 Restricted Period. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine at the
date an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Units (including any Dividend Equivalents issued in connection with such Restricted Units) is made to the Participant by the Committee, the Restricted Period shall commence upon the date of grant by
the Committee and shall lapse with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Units on the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of
grant, unless sooner terminated as otherwise provided herein. 
 Section 8.6 Legending or Equivalent. To the extent that
certificates are issued to a Participant in respect of shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan (or in the event that such Restricted Stock are held electronically), such shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall
have such legends (or account restrictions) reflecting the restrictions of such Awards in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate. 
  

 20 








 Section 8.7 Termination of Employment. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine at or
subsequent to the date of grant: 
 (a) Death. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to his or
her death, the Restricted Period will lapse as to the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Units (including any associated Dividend Equivalents) granted to such Participant under the Plan. A lump sum payment of cash or Common
Stock shall be made in respect of Restricted Units as soon as practicable following the Participant’s termination of employment. 
 (b) Disability. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to Disability, the Restricted Period will lapse as to the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Units (including
any associated Dividend Equivalents) granted to such Participant under the Plan. A lump sum payment of cash or Common Stock shall be made in respect of Restricted Units as soon as practicable following the Participant’s termination of
employment. 
 (c) Approved Retirement. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to Approved
Retirement, the Restricted Period will lapse as to the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Units (including any associated Dividend Equivalents) granted to such Participant under the Plan. Payment in respect of any vested
Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable following termination of the Participant’s employment, except that, if the Participant is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall
be made six months and one day following the date of such termination of employment. 
 (d) For Cause. In the event a
Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, all outstanding shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Units (including any associated Dividend Equivalents) granted to such Participant under the Plan shall be forfeited at the time of
such termination, and the Committee may, consistent with Section 4.6 of the Plan, require that such Participant disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of the lapse of restrictions on any prior grant of Restricted Stock
or Restricted Units (including any Dividend Equivalents) for a period of up to twelve (12) months prior to the Participant’s termination of employment for Cause. The provisions of this Section 8.7(d) will apply notwithstanding any
assertion (by the Participant or otherwise) of a termination of employment for any other reason enumerated under this Section 8.7. 
 (e) Resignation. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to his or her resignation from the Company or any Subsidiary, all outstanding shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Units
(including any associated Dividend Equivalents) granted to such Participant under the Plan shall be forfeited upon termination of the Participant’s employment. 
  

 21 








 (f) Any Other Reason. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due
to any reason other than one described in Section 8.7(a) through (e), the Participant shall receive a payment calculated in the following manner: (i) the number of shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Units granted to such
Participant under the Plan will be reduced by multiplying the grant by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the applicable vesting period during which the Participant was an active employee and the denominator of which
is the number of months in the applicable vesting period (with a partial month worked shall be counted as a full month if the Participant is an active employee for 15 days or more in that month); and (ii) the resulting reduced number of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Units shall be considered vested and payment of such pro-rated Awards is to be made to the Participant as soon as practicable after termination of the Participant’s employment. 
 Section 8.8 Issuance of New Certificate or Equivalent; Settlement of Restricted Units and Dividend Equivalents. Upon the lapse of the
Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, such shares shall no longer be subject to the restrictions imposed under Section 8.3 and the Company shall issue or have issued new share certificates (or remove any such
restrictions that may have been established electronically) without the legend or equivalent described in Section 8.6 in exchange for those previously issued. Upon the lapse of the Restricted Period with respect to any Restricted Units, the
Company shall deliver to the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as provided in Section 12.2, one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Unit as to which restrictions have lapsed and any Dividend Equivalents
credited with respect to such Restricted Units and any interest thereon. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering only Common Stock for Restricted Units and/or Dividend
Equivalents. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Stock for Restricted Units, the amount of such cash payment for each share of Common Stock to which a Participant is entitled shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to the related Restricted Unit. 
  

 22 








 ARTICLE IX  
 ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS, 
 LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARDS 
 AND PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS 
 Section 9.1 Annual Incentive Awards. 
 (a) General Description. At the direction of the
Committee, Annual Incentive Awards may be made to Participants and, unless determined otherwise by the Committee at or after the date of grant, shall be paid in cash. 
 (b) Requirements for Covered Employees. For any Covered Employees and to the extent the Committee intends to comply with the
requirements for performance-based Awards described generally under Code section 162(m), the Committee must certify, prior to payment of any such amounts, that any applicable Performance Goals and/or other requirements have been satisfied, and that
such amounts are consistent with the limits provided under Section 5.2(b). 
 (c) Payment of Annual Incentive
Awards. Unless the Committee determines otherwise either at grant or thereafter, in the event a Participant terminates employment before the end of an annual Performance Cycle due to death, Disability, or Approved Retirement, such Participant,
or his or her estate, shall be eligible to receive a prorated Annual Incentive Award based on (a) in the case of death or Disability, full achievement of the Participant’s Performance Goals for such Performance Cycle, and (b) in the
case of Approved Retirement, the actual achievement of the Performance Goals for such Performance Cycle , in each case prorated for the portion of the Performance Cycle completed before the Participant’s termination of employment. If a
Participant terminates employment before payment of an Annual Incentive Award is authorized by the Committee for any reason other than death, Disability or Approved Retirement, the Participant shall forfeit all rights to such Annual Incentive Award
unless otherwise determined by the Committee. 
 Section 9.2 Long-Term Performance Unit Awards. 
 (a) General Description. At the discretion of the Committee, grants of Long-Term Performance Unit Awards may be made to
Participants. 
 (b) Requirements for Covered Employees. For any Covered Employees and to the extent the Committee

the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries will receive as soon as practicable following such termination of employment a lump sum payment of the outstanding Long-Term Performance Unit Award granted to such Participant under the Plan, calculated
as if the target value or equivalent value for each Unit had, in fact, been achieved. 
 (ii) Disability. In the event
a Participant’s employment terminates due to Disability during the applicable Performance Cycle, the Participant will receive as soon as practicable following such termination of employment a lump sum payment of the outstanding Long-Term
Performance Unit Award granted to such Participant under the Plan, calculated as if the target value or equivalent value for each Unit had, in fact, been achieved. 
 (iii) Approved Retirement. In the event a Participant’s employment
terminates due to Approved Retirement during the applicable Performance Cycle, the Participant shall receive a payment calculated in the following manner: (i) the number of Long-Term Performance Units granted to such Participant under the Plan
will be reduced by multiplying the grant by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the Performance Cycle during which the Participant was an active employee and the denominator of which is the number of months in the
Performance Cycle (with a partial month worked shall be counted as a full month if the Participant is an active employee for 15 days or more in that month); and (ii) the resulting reduced number of Long-Term Performance Units shall be
considered vested and payment made to the Participant in a lump sum on the 60th day after the completion of the respective Performance Cycle;
provided, however, that, with respect to any Performance Cycle commencing on or after January 1, 2009, a Covered Employee shall be 

  

 24 








 
deemed vested only in (x) the number of Long-Term Performance Units in which such Covered Employee would have vested had he remained employed for
the entire Performance Cycle, based on actual achievement of the applicable Performance Goals, multiplied by (y) the fraction established under subclause (i). 
 (iv) For Cause. In the event a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, all outstanding Long-Term Performance Unit
Awards shall be cancelled and the Committee may, consistent with Section 4.6 of the Plan, require that such Participant disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of the payment of any prior Long-Term Performance Unit Awards
received within a period of twelve (12) months prior to termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause. The provisions of this Section 9.2(c)(iv) will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by the Participant or otherwise) of a
termination of employment for any other reason enumerated under this Section 9.2. 
 (v) Resignation. In the event
a Participant’s employment terminates due to his or her resignation from the Company or any Subsidiary, all outstanding Long-Term Performance Units granted to such Participant under the Plan shall be forfeited upon termination of the
Participant’s employment.

the applicable Performance Cycle due to any reason other than one described in Section 9.2(c)(i) through (v), the Participant shall receive a payment calculated in the following manner: (i) the number of Long-Term Performance Units granted
to such Participant under the Plan will be reduced by multiplying the grant by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the Performance Cycle during which the Participant was an active employee and the denominator of which
is the number of months in the Performance Cycle (with a partial month worked shall be counted as a full month if the Participant is an active employee for 15 days or more in that month); and (ii) the resulting reduced number of Long-Term
Performance Units shall be considered vested and payment made to the Participant of a lump sum payment as soon as practicable following such termination of employment of such pro-rated Long-Term Performance Unit Award, calculated as if the target
value or equivalent value for each Unit had, in fact, been achieved ; provided, however, that, with respect to any Performance Cycle commencing on or after January 1, 2009, a Covered Employee shall be deemed vested only in (x) the
number of Long-Term Performance Units in which such Covered 

  

 25 








 
Employee would have vested had he remained employed for the entire Performance Cycle, based on actual achievement of the applicable Performance Goals,
multiplied by (y) the fraction established under subclause (i). 
 Section 9.3 Performance Shares. 
 (a) General Description. At the discretion of the Committee, grants of Performance Share Awards may be made to Participants.

 (b) Requirements for Covered Employees. For any Covered Employees and to the extent the Committee intends to comply

and that such amounts paid are consistent with the limits provided under Section 5.2(b).

Share Awards. Performance Share Awards shall be payable in Common Stock. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine at or subsequent to the date of grant: 
 (i) Death. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to his or her death during the applicable Performance Cycle,
the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries will receive as soon as practicable following such termination of employment a lump sum payment of the outstanding Performance Share Award granted to such Participant under the Plan, calculated as if
the target number of Performance Shares had, in fact, been earned. 
 (ii) Disability. In the event a
Participant’s employment terminates due to Disability during the applicable Performance Cycle, the Participant will receive as soon as practicable following such termination of employment a lump sum payment of the outstanding Performance Share
Award granted to such Participant under the Plan, calculated as if the target number of Performance Shares had, in fact, been earned. 
 (iii) Approved Retirement. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to Approved Retirement during the applicable Performance Cycle, the Participant shall receive a payment calculated in the
following manner: (i) the number of Performance Shares granted to such Participant under the Plan will be reduced by multiplying the grant by a 

  

 26 








 
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the Performance Cycle during which the Participant was an active employee and the
denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Cycle (with a partial month worked shall be counted as a full month if the Participant is an active employee for 15 days or more in that month); and (ii) the resulting reduced
number of Performance Shares shall be considered vested and payment made to the Participant in a lump sum 60 days after the completion of the respective Performance Cycle; provided, however, that, with respect to any Performance Cycle commencing on
or after January 1, 2009, a Covered Employee shall be deemed vested only in (x) the number of Performance Shares in which such Covered Employee would have vested had he remained employed for the entire Performance Cycle, based on
actual achievement of the applicable Performance Goals, multiplied by (y) the fraction established under subclause (i). 
 (iv) For Cause. In the event a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, all outstanding Performance Share Awards shall be cancelled and the Committee may, consistent with Section 4.6 of the Plan, require that such
Participant disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of the payment of any prior Performance Share Awards received within a period of twelve (12) months prior to termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause.
The provisions of this Section 9.3(c)(iv) will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by the Participant or otherwise) of a termination of employment for any other reason enumerated under this Section 9.3. 
 (v) Resignation. In the event a Participant’s employment terminates due to his or her resignation from the Company or any

reason other than one described in Section 9.3(c)(i) through (v), the Participant shall receive a payment calculated in the following manner: (i) the number of Performance Shares granted to such Participant under the Plan will be reduced
by multiplying the grant by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the Performance Cycle during which the Participant was an active employee and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Cycle
(with a partial month worked shall be counted as a full month if the Participant is an active employee for 

  

 27 








 
15 days or more in that month); and (ii) the resulting reduced number of Performance Shares shall be considered vested and payment made to the

with respect to any Performance Cycle commencing on or after January 1, 2009, a Covered Employee shall be deemed vested only in (x) the number of Performance Shares in which such Covered Employee would have vested had he remained
employed for the entire Performance Cycle, based on actual achievement of the applicable Performance Goals, multiplied by (y) the fraction established under subclause (i). 
 ARTICLE X  
 CHANGE OF CONTROL 
 Section 10.1 Accelerated Vesting and Payment of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee and subject to the provisions of
Section 10.3, in the event of a Change of Control each Option and SAR then outstanding shall be fully exercisable regardless of the exercise schedule otherwise applicable to such Option and/or SAR, and the Restricted Period shall lapse as to
each share of Restricted Stock and each Restricted Unit then outstanding. In connection with such a Change of Control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that each Option, SAR, Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Unit shall, upon the
occurrence of such Change of Control, be cancelled in exchange for a payment per share/unit (the “Settlement Payment”) in an amount based on the Change of Control Price. Such Settlement Payment shall be in the form of cash. 
 Section 10.2 Long Term Performance Unit Awards and Performance Share Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee and subject to the
provisions of Section 10.3, in the event of a Change of Control, (a) any outstanding Long Term Performance Unit Awards or Performance Share Awards relating to Performance Cycles ending prior to the Change of Control which have been earned
but not paid shall become immediately payable, (b) all then-in-progress Performance Cycles for Long Term Performance Unit Awards or Performance Share Awards that are outstanding shall end, and all Participants shall be deemed to have earned an
award equal to the Participant’s target award opportunity for the Performance Cycle in question, (c) the Company shall pay all such Long Term Performance Unit Awards as a Settlement Payment in cash within thirty (30) days of such
Change in Control, based on the Change in Control Price and (d) the Company may, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems 

  

 28 








 
appropriate, pay all such Performance Share Awards either (i) in Common Stock and/or (ii) as a Settlement Payment in cash within thirty
(30) days of such Change of Control, based on the Change of Control Price. 
 Section 10.3 Alternative Awards.
Notwithstanding Section 10.1 or 10.2, no cancellation, acceleration of exercisability, vesting, cash settlement or other payment shall occur with respect to any Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, Restricted Unit, Long-Term Performance Unit and/or
Performance Share if the Committee reasonably determines in good faith prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control that such Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, Restricted Unit, Long-Term Performance Unit and/or Performance Share shall be honored or
assumed, or new rights substituted therefore (such honored, assumed or substituted award hereinafter called an “Alternative Award”), by a Participant’s employer (or the parent or an affiliate of such employer) immediately following
the Change of Control; provided that any such Alternative Award must: 
 (a) be based on stock that is traded on an
established securities market; 
 (b) provide such Participant with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or
better than the rights, terms and conditions applicable under such Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, Restricted Unit, Long-Term Performance Unit and/or Performance Share, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise or vesting
schedules; 
 (c) have substantially equivalent value to such Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, Restricted Unit, Long-Term
Performance Unit and/or Performance Share (determined at the time of the Change in Control); and 
 (d) have terms and
conditions which provide that in the event that the Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated for any reason other than for Cause, all of such Participant’s Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Restricted Units, Long-Term
Performance Units and/or Performance Shares shall be deemed immediately and fully exercisable and/or all restrictions shall lapse, and shall be settled for a payment per each share of stock subject to the Alternative Award in cash, in immediately
transferable, publicly traded securities, or in a combination thereof, in an amount equal to (i) the Fair Market Value of such stock on the date of the Participant’s termination (with respect to any Restricted Stock, and/or Restricted
Units), (ii) the excess of the Fair Market Value of such stock on the date of the Participant’s termination over the corresponding exercise or base price per share, if any (with respect to any Option and/or SARs), or (iii) the

 ARTICLE XI  
 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 Section 11.1 General. The Board
may, at any time and from time to time amend, modify, suspend, or terminate this Plan, in whole or in part, without notice to or the consent of any participant or employee; provided, however, that any amendment which would
(i) increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, (ii) lower the minimum exercise price at which an Option (or the base price at which a SAR) may be granted or (iii) change the individual Award
limits shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders. No amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, without the consent of the
Participant, provided, however, that 
 (a) any change pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, Article
X; 
 (b) any acceleration of payments of amounts accrued under the Plan by action of the Committee or by operation of the
Plan’s terms; or 
 (c) any decision by the Committee to limit participation (or other features of the Plan)
prospectively under the Plan 
 shall not be deemed to violate this provision. 
 ARTICLE XII  
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 Section 12.1 Transferability of Awards. No Awards granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated
or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Committee may, in the Award agreement or otherwise, permit transfers of Nonstatutory Stock Options with or without tandem SARs, freestanding
SARs, Restricted Stock and Restricted Units to Family Members (including, without limitation, transfers effected by a domestic relations order). 
 Section 12.2 Treatment of Any Outstanding Rights or Features Upon Participant’s Death. Any Awards, rights or features remaining unexercised or unpaid at 

  

 30 








 
the Participant’s death shall be paid to, or exercised by, the Participant’s estate except where otherwise provided by law, or when done in
accordance with other methods (including a beneficiary designation process) put in place by the Committee or a duly appointed designee from time to time. Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing in this Plan is intended or may be construed to
give any person other than Participants any options, rights or remedies under this Plan. 
 Section 12.3 Deferral of Payment. The
Committee may, in the Award agreement or otherwise, permit a Participant to elect, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, to defer receipt of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued upon exercise or vesting of
an Award. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, deferrals shall not be permitted hereunder in a way that will result in the Company or any Subsidiary being required to recognize a financial accounting charge due to such
deferral that is substantially greater than the charge, if any, that was associated with the underlying Award. 
 Section 12.4 Awards
In Substitution for Awards Granted By Other Companies. Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to time as replacements for awards (including, but not limited to, options, common stock, restricted stock, performance shares or performance
units) held by employees of other companies who become Employees of the Company or of any Subsidiary as a result of a merger or consolidation of the employing company with the Company, or such Subsidiary, or the acquisition by the Company or a
Subsidiary of all or a portion of the assets of the employing company. Shares issued in connection with such substitute Awards shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under Section 5.1 of the Plan. 
 Section 12.5 No Guarantee of Employment or Participation. The existence of the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of
employment between the Company or any affiliate and any Eligible Individual or Participant, nor shall it constitute a right to remain in the employ of the Company or any affiliate. The terms or existence of this Plan, as in effect at any time or
from time to time, or any Award granted under the Plan, shall not interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to
continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or any other affiliate of the Company. Each employee of the Company or any Subsidiary remains at will. Except to the extent expressly selected by the Committee to be a Participant, no person
(whether or not an Eligible Individual or a Participant) shall at any time have a right to be selected for (or additional) participation in the Plan, despite having previously participated in an incentive or bonus plan of the Company or an
affiliate. 
 Section 12.6 Tax Withholding. The Company, Subsidiary or an affiliate shall have the right and power to deduct from
all payments or distributions hereunder, or require a Participant to remit to the Company promptly upon notification of the amount 

  

 31 








 
due, an amount (which may include shares of Common Stock) to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other obligations required by law to be
withheld with respect thereto with respect to any Award. The Company may defer payments of cash or issuance or delivery of Common Stock until such withholding requirements are satisfied. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit a Participant to
elect, subject to such conditions as the Committee shall impose, (a) to have shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan withheld by the Company or (b) to deliver to the Company previously acquired shares of
Common Stock (through actual tender or attestation), in either case for the greatest number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value on the date immediately preceding the date of exercise not in excess of the amount required to satisfy the
withholding tax obligations. 
 Section 12.7 No Limitation on Compensation; Scope of Liabilities. Nothing in the Plan shall be
construed to limit the right of the Company to establish other plans if and to the extent permitted by applicable law. The liability of the Company, Subsidiary or any affiliate under this Plan is limited to the obligations expressly set forth in the
Plan, and no term or provision of this Plan may be construed to impose any further or additional duties, obligations, or costs on the Company or any affiliate thereof or the Committee not expressly set forth in the Plan. 
 Section 12.8 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 
 Section 12.9 Term of Plan. The Plan shall be effective upon the Effective Date. The Plan shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the termination of the Plan pursuant to Article XI, or (b) when no more shares are
available for issuance of Awards under the Plan. 
 Section 12.10 Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. 
 Section 12.11 Securities Law Compliance. Instruments evidencing Awards may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee deems advisable, including a requirement that the Participant represent
to the Company in writing, when an Award is granted or when he receives shares with respect to such Award (or at such other time as the Committee deems appropriate) that he is accepting such Award, or receiving or acquiring such shares (unless they
are then covered by a Securities Act of 1933 registration statement), for his own account for investment only and with no present intention to transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of such shares except such disposition by a legal representative as
shall be required by will or the laws of any 

  

 32 








 
jurisdiction in winding up the estate of the Participant. Such shares shall be transferable, or may be sold or otherwise disposed of only if the proposed
transfer, sale or other disposition shall be permissible pursuant to the Plan and if, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, such transfer, sale or other disposition at such time will be in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 Section 12.12 No Impact On Benefits. Except as may otherwise be specifically provided for under any employee benefit plan,
policy or program provision to the contrary, Awards shall not be treated as compensation for purposes of calculating an Eligible Individual’s right under any such plan, policy or program. 
 Section 12.13 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Except as provided in Article XI, nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed to
prevent the Company, or any affiliate, from taking any corporate action (including, but not limited to, the Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to
merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets) which is deemed by it to be appropriate, or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on this Plan, or any
Awards made under this Plan. No employee, beneficiary, or other person, shall have any claim against the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of its affiliates, as a result of any such action. 
 Section 12.14 Captions. The headings and captions appearing herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience. They do not define, limit,
construe, or describe the scope or intent of the provisions of the Plan. 
 Section 12.15 Distribution of Amounts Subject to
Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if any amount that is subject to Section 409A of the Code is to be paid or distributed solely on account of a Change of Control (as opposed to being paid or
distributed on account of termination of employment or within a reasonable time following the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture with respect to the corresponding Award), solely for purposes of determining whether such distribution or
payment shall be made in connection with a Change of Control, the term Change of Control shall be deemed to be defined in the manner provided in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If any such distribution or payment cannot
be made because an event that constitutes a Change of Control under the Plan is not a change of control as defined under Section 409A of the Code, then such distribution or payment shall be distributed or paid at the next event, occurrence or
date at which such distribution or payment could be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
