direct a competent management team; (iii) motivating executive personnel by means of performance-related incentives to achieve longer-range performance goals; (iv) providing incentive compensation opportunities which are competitive with
those of other major corporations; (v) enabling such executive personnel to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company through increased stock ownership and (vi) serving as a mechanism to compensate outside
directors.

discretion, shall at such time deem appropriate.

Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision, and which is intended by the Committee to constitute an Incentive Stock Option.

or met (i) as a condition to the exercisability of all or a portion of an option or SAR, (ii) as a condition to the grant of a Stock Award or (iii) during the applicable Restriction Period or Performance Period as a condition to the

terms and conditions of an outstanding award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or its financial statements or changes in law or accounting, but only, in the case of any Award intended to constitute
“qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent such adjustment would not cause any portion of the award, upon payment, or the option, upon exercise, to be nondeductible pursuant
to Section 162(m) of the Code. Such criteria and objectives may include one or more of the following: net sales; pretax income before allocation of corporate overhead and bonus; budget; earnings per share; net income; return on stockholders’
equity; return on assets; return on capital employed; attainment of strategic and operational initiatives; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the Common Stock or any other publicly traded securities of the Company; market share;

return on equity and cash flow return on investment) for the applicable Performance Period. If the Committee desires that compensation payable pursuant to any award subject to Performance Measures be “qualified performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Performance Measures (i) shall be established by the Committee no later than 90 days after the commencement of or, if earlier, the end of the first 25% of, the Performance
Period or Restriction Period, as applicable (or such other time designated by the Internal Revenue Service) and (ii) shall satisfy all other applicable requirements imposed under Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the

Standing SAR or a Tandem SAR. 
 “Stock Award” shall mean a Restricted Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Unit Award,
or a Bonus Stock Award. 
 “Tandem SAR” shall mean an SAR which is granted in tandem with, or by reference to, an

all or a portion of such option, shares of Common Stock (which may be Restricted Stock), cash or a combination thereof with an aggregate value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the
base price of such SAR, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. 

1.3    Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the
authority to determine eligibility for awards hereunder and to determine the form, amount and timing of each award to such persons and, if applicable, the number of shares of Common Stock, the performance period, the restriction period and the
number of shares subject to such an award, the exercise price associated with the award, the time and conditions of exercise or settlement of the award and all other terms and conditions of the award, including, without limitation, the form of the
Agreement evidencing the award. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and for any reason at any time, subject to the requirements imposed under Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder in the case of an award intended to
be qualified performance-based compensation, take action such that (i) any or all outstanding options and SARs shall become exercisable in part or in full, (ii) the Performance Measures applicable to any outstanding Restricted Stock Award

 The Committee shall, subject to the terms of this Plan, interpret this Plan and the application
thereof, establish rules and regulations it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan and may impose, incidental to the grant of an award, conditions with respect to the award, such as limiting competitive employment or other
activities. All such interpretations, rules, regulations and conditions shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 The Committee shall keep
minutes of its meetings and of action taken by it without a meeting. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The acts of the Committee shall be either (i) acts of a majority of the members of the Committee present at any meeting
at which a quorum is present or (ii) acts approved in writing by all of the members of the Committee without a meeting. 

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in accordance with Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more executive officers of the Company to do one or both of the following: (i) designate non-director and
non-executive officer employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be recipients of rights or options entitling the holder thereof to purchase from the Company shares of its capital stock of any
class or other awards hereunder; and (ii) determine the number of such rights, options, or awards to be received by such non-director and non-executive officer
employees; provided, however, that the resolution so authorizing such executive officer or officers shall specify the total number of rights, options, or awards such executive officer or officers may so award. Any action taken pursuant to such
authorization made in accordance with Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall be deemed to be action taken by the Committee. The Committee may not authorize an executive officer to designate himself or herself or any director or
other executive officer of the Company to be a recipient of any such rights, options, or awards. 
 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to
the contrary, to the extent an award granted hereunder would be subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder, then the Agreement for such award and the Plan shall be construed and administered in a
manner so that the award complies with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder; provided, that no particular tax result with respect to any income recognized by a Participant in connection with an award under the Plan is
guaranteed and each Participant shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Participant in connection with awards under the Plan. 

1.4    Eligibility. Participants in this Plan shall consist of such directors, officers, and other employees
of the Company and its Subsidiaries from time to time, and any other entity designated by the Board or the Committee (individually a “Subsidiary” and collectively the “Subsidiaries”) as the Committee, in its sole discretion,
directly or indirectly pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Section 1.3, may select from time to time. For purposes of this Plan, reference to employment by the Company shall also mean employment by a Subsidiary. 

1.5    Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.7, 5,300,000 shares of Common
Stock (the “Plan Maximum”) shall be available under this Plan for awards that are granted after the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2014 Annual Meeting”). The Plan Maximum includes shares of Common Stock
that were available for new awards under the Plan as in effect immediately prior to the 2014 Annual Meeting. Shares of Common Stock subject to awards outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to the 2014 Annual Meeting shall also be available for
issuance hereunder. 
 The Plan Maximum shall be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (i) that are
issued or issuable in connection with a Stock Award granted after the 2014 Annual Meeting or (ii) that are subject to options, SARs or Performance Shares granted after the 2014 Annual Meeting in the following ratios: 1 to 1 for each Incentive
Stock Option, Non-Statutory Stock Option or Free-Standing SAR, 2.5 to 1 for any other type of award granted under the Plan after the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and prior to the
Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and 2 to 1 for any other type of award granted under the Plan, it being understood that in the case of an SAR the reduction shall be equal to the total number of SARs originally subject to the
award, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon settlement thereof. 
 Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, the Plan Maximum shall not be reduced by virtue of the grant of Performance Shares or SARs that may only be settled in cash. 

To the extent that shares of Common Stock subject to an option (other than in connection with the exercise


  
 4 








 
of a Tandem SAR), Stock Award or Performance Share Award (regardless of whether such option, Stock Award or Performance Share Award was granted before or after the 2014 Annual Meeting) are not
issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award: (i) such shares of Common Stock shall again be available under this Plan and (ii) the Plan Maximum shall be increased to the extent the
number of shares available under the Plan was reduced when such award was granted. If a Performance Share or SAR (regardless of whether such Performance Share or SAR was granted before or after the 2014 Annual Meeting) that can be settled in either
cash or Common Stock is settled in cash, in whole or in part, the Plan Maximum shall be increased to the extent the number of shares available under the Plan was reduced with respect to the cash-settled portion of the award when the award was
granted. If an award is made in the form of an option coupled with a Performance Share Award (regardless of whether such Performance Share or SAR was granted before or after the 2014 Annual Meeting) such that the Participant can receive the
designated number of shares either upon exercise of the option or upon earning of the Performance Share, but not both, such coupled award shall be treated as a single award of the designated number of shares for purposes of this Section 1.5.

 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.5 to the contrary, shares of Common Stock subject to an award under this Plan may not be
made available for issuance under this Plan if such shares are: (i) shares that were subject to a stock-settled SAR and were not issued as a result of the net settlement or net exercise of such SAR, (ii) shares tendered by the Participant
or withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option, (iii) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay withholding taxes related to an
award under this Plan, or (iv) shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise. 
 Shares of Common Stock
shall be made available from authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, or authorized and issued shares of Common Stock reacquired and held as treasury shares or otherwise or a combination thereof. 

To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations thereunder, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
with respect to which options, SARs, Stock Awards or Performance Share Awards or a combination thereof may be granted during any calendar year to any person shall be 500,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.7. 

Except with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock authorized in this Section 1.5, any Stock Award which
vests on the basis of a Participant’s continued employment with or provision of service to the Company shall not provide for vesting which is any more rapid than annual pro rata vesting over a three (3) year period and any Stock Award
which vests upon the attainment of performance goals shall provide for a performance period of at least twelve (12) months; provided that vesting may be shortened in the case of death, disability, retirement or Change in Control as set forth in
this Plan or determined by the Committee. 
 II. STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

2.1 Stock Options. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Incentive Stock Options or
Non-Statutory Stock Options to such eligible persons under Section 1.4 as may be selected by the Committee. 

Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option shall provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents
with respect to periods prior to exercise: 
 (a) Number of Shares and Purchase Price. The number of shares and the
purchase price per share of Common Stock subject to an option shall be determined by the Committee, provided, however, that the purchase price per share of Common Stock shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock
on the date of grant of such option and provided further, that if an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who, at the time such option is granted, owns capital stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting
power of all classes of capital stock of the Company (or of any parent or subsidiary as defined in Section 424 of the Code) (a “ Ten Percent Holder ”), the purchase price per share of Common Stock shall be the price (currently
110% of Fair Market Value) required by the Code in order to constitute an Incentive Stock Option. 

  
 5 








 (b) Option Period and Exercisability. Each option, by its terms, shall require
the Participant to remain in the continuous employ of the Company for at least one year following the date of grant of the option before any part of the option shall be exercisable, except in the case of a Change in Control. The period during which
an option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option shall be exercised later than ten years after its date of grant;
provided further, that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Ten Percent Holder, such option shall not be exercised later than five years after its date of grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which
shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of an option or to the exercisability of all or a portion of an option. The Committee shall determine whether an option shall become exercisable in cumulative or
non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable option, or portion thereof, may be exercised only for whole shares of Common Stock. 

(c) Method of Exercise. An option may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number
of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased and accompanied by payment therefore in full (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company’s satisfaction) either (A) by the delivery of cash in the amount of the aggregate purchase
price payable by reason of such exercise, (B) by delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously acquired shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of
the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise, (C) by the delivery of cash in the amount of the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise by a broker-dealer acceptable to the
Company to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise, (D) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the
date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise, or (E) a combination of (A), (B) and (D), (ii) if applicable, by surrendering to the Company any Tandem SARs which are cancelled by reason of
the exercise of the option and (iii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to pay such purchase price shall be paid in cash by the optionee. No
certificate representing Common Stock shall be delivered until the full purchase price therefore has been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company’s satisfaction). The provisions of this paragraph shall supersede the provisions
of any Agreement relating to an option, including any option outstanding as of the date of this Amendment. 
 2.2 Stock Appreciation
Rights. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant SARs to such eligible persons under Section 1.4 as may be selected by the Committee. The Agreement relating to an SAR shall specify whether the SAR is a Tandem SAR or a Free-Standing
SAR. SARs shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable; provided, however, that no SAR shall
provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to periods prior to settlement: 
 (a) Number of SARs and
Base Price. The number of SARs subject to an award shall be determined by the Committee. Any Tandem SAR related to an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted at the same time that such Incentive Stock Option is granted. The base price of a
Tandem SAR shall be the purchase price per share of Common Stock of the related option. The base price of a Free-Standing SAR shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that such base price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such SAR. 
 (b) Exercise Period and Exercisability. Each SAR,
by its terms, shall require the Participant to remain in the continuous employ of the Company for at least one year following the date of grant of the SAR before any part of the SAR shall be exercisable, except in the case of a Change in Control.
The Agreement relating to an award of SARs shall specify whether such award may be settled in shares of Common Stock (including shares of Restricted Stock) or cash or a combination thereof. The period for the exercise of an SAR shall be determined
by the Committee; provided, however, that no SAR may be exercised later than 10 years after its date of grant; provided further, that no Tandem SAR shall be exercised later than the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other termination of
the related option. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of an SAR or to the exercisability of all or a portion of an SAR. The Committee shall determine
whether an SAR may be exercised in cumulative or non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable SAR, or portion thereof, may be exercised, in the case of a Tandem SAR, only with


  
 6 








 
respect to whole shares of Common Stock and, in the case of a Free Standing SAR, only with respect to a whole number of SARs. If an SAR is exercised for shares of Restricted Stock, a certificate
or certificates representing such Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.2(c) and the holder of such Restricted Stock shall have such rights of a stockholder of the Company as determined pursuant to Section 3.2(d).
Prior to the exercise of an SAR for shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock, the holder of such SAR shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such SAR. 

(c) Method of Exercise. A Tandem SAR may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of
whole SARs which are being exercised, (ii) by surrendering to the Company any options which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of the Tandem SAR and (iii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. A
Free-Standing SAR may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the whole number of SARs which are being exercised and (ii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. 

2.3 Termination of Employment or Service. (a) Non-Statutory Stock Options and
SARs. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement evidencing an option or SAR, but subject to Section 2.1(b) or Section 2.2(b), as the case may be, if the holder of an option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) or SAR terminates
employment with or service to the Company (1) by reason of (i) death, or (ii) retirement on or after (A) age 65, (B) age 62 with a minimum of 5 years of employment with or service to the Company or (C) age 55 with a
minimum of 10 years of employment with or service to the Company, or (iii) the occurrence of such Participant’s Disability Date, or (2) for any reason within two years following a Change in Control, such option or SAR shall be
exercisable for the remainder of the option period or SAR period as stated under the terms of the option or SAR, as the case may be, but only to the extent that such option or SAR was exercisable at the date of such termination of employment. 

If the employment with the Company of the holder of an option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) or SAR is terminated under any other
circumstance, such option or SAR shall remain exercisable to the extent that it was exercisable at the date of such termination of employment, for a period of 90 days following such termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2.3(a), if such holder’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause, his or her rights under all options and SARs shall terminate automatically on the effective date of such termination
of employment. 
 (b) Termination of Employment — Incentive Stock Options. Unless otherwise
specified in the Agreement evidencing an option, but subject to Section 2.1(b), if the holder of an Incentive Stock Option terminates employment with the Company by reason of Permanent and Total Disability, such Incentive Stock Option shall be
exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable on the effective date of such termination of employment and may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar person) until the date which is one
year after the effective date of such termination of employment. 
 Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement evidencing an option, but
subject to Section 2.1(b), if the holder of an Incentive Stock Option ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of his or her death, such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable on the date of
such optionee’s death and may thereafter be exercised by such optionee’s executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is three years after the date of death. 

If the Company terminates the employment of the holder of an Incentive Stock Option for Cause, such Incentive Stock Option shall terminate
automatically on the effective date of such termination of employment. 
 Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement evidencing an option,
but subject to Section 2.1(b), if the Company’s employment of the holder of an Incentive Stock Option is terminated for any reason other than Permanent and Total disability, death or Cause, such Incentive Stock shall be excisable only to the
extent that it was exercisable on the effective date of such termination of employment, and may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar person) until the date which is 90 days after the
effective date of such termination of employment. 
 If the holder of an Incentive Stock Option dies during the period set forth in the
first paragraph of this Subsection (b) following termination of employment by reason of Permanent and Total Disability, or during the 

  
 7 








 
period set forth in the fourth paragraph of this Subsection (b) following termination of employment for any reason other than Permanent and Total Disability for death or Cause, such
Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only to the extent it was exercisable on the date of the holder’s death and may thereafter be exercised by the holder’s executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar
person until the date which is three years after the date of death. 
 2.4 No Repricing. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan
to the contrary and subject to Section 5.7, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company the Committee will not amend or replace any previously granted option or SAR in a transaction that constitutes a “repricing,” as such
term is used in Section 303A.08 of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange, will not cancel an option or SAR that has an exercise price which is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock in exchange for
stock, cash or other consideration and will not cancel an option or SAR that has an exercise price greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock and regrant such option or SAR with a lower exercise price or base price. 

III. STOCK AWARDS 
 3.1
Stock Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Awards to such eligible persons under Section 1.4 as may be selected by the Committee. The Agreement relating to the Stock Award shall specify whether the Stock Award
is a Restricted Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Unit Award, or Bonus Stock Award. 
 3.2 Terms of Stock Awards. Stock Awards
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable. 

(a) Number of Shares and Other Terms. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock
Unit Award, or Bonus Stock Award and the Performance Measures (if any) and Restriction Period applicable to a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be determined by the Committee. 

(b) Vesting and Forfeiture. The Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall provide, in
the manner determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and subject to the provisions of this Plan, for the vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award, in the case of a Restricted Stock Award, or the vesting of the Restricted
Stock Unit Award itself, in the case of Restricted Stock Unit Award, (i) if specified Performance Measures are satisfied or met during the specified Restriction Period or (ii) if the holder of such award remains continuously in the
employment of or service to the Company during the specified Restriction Period, and for the forfeiture of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award in the case of a Restricted Stock Award, or the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Unit Award
itself, in the case of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, (x) if specified Performance Measures are not satisfied or met during the specified Restriction Period or (y) if the holder of such award does not remain continuously in the employment
of or service to the Company during the specified Restriction Period. 
 Bonus Stock Awards shall not be subject to any Performance Measures
or Restriction Periods. 
 (c) Stock Issuance. During the Restriction Period, the shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by
a custodian in book entry form with restrictions on such shares duly noted or, alternatively, a certificate or certificates representing a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the holder’s name and may bear a legend, in addition to any
legend which may be required pursuant to Section 5.6, indicating that the ownership of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate is subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement relating to
the Restricted Stock Award. All such certificates shall be deposited with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed
necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event such award is forfeited in whole or in part. Upon termination of
any applicable Restriction Period (and the satisfaction or attainment of applicable Performance Measures), or upon the grant of a Bonus Stock Award, in each case subject to the Company’s right to require payment of any taxes in accordance with
Section 5.5, the restrictions shall be removed from the requisite number of shares of Common Stock that are held in book entry form, and all certificates evidencing ownership of the requisite number of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered

 (d) Rights with Respect to Restricted Stock Awards. Unless otherwise set forth in
the Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award, and subject to the terms and conditions of a Restricted Stock Award, the holder of such award shall have all rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, but not limited to, voting rights,
the right to receive dividends and the right to participate in any capital adjustment applicable to all holders of Common Stock; provided, however, that a distribution with respect to shares of Common Stock, other than a regular cash dividend, shall
be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Common Stock with respect to which such distribution was made. 

(e) Rights and Provisions Applicable to Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Unit Award
shall specify whether the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, on a current or deferred basis, dividend equivalents, or the deemed reinvestment of, any deferred dividend equivalents, with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to such award. Prior to the settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the holder thereof shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such award, except to the extent that
the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Unit Awards as provided above. No shares of Common Stock and no certificates representing shares of Common Stock that are the subject to a Restricted Stock
Unit Award shall be issued upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award. Instead, shares of Common Stock subject to Restricted Stock Unit Awards and the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall only be distributed at the time
of settlement of such Restricted Stock Unit Awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement relating to such Restricted Stock Unit Award. 

3.3 Termination of Employment or Service. (a) Disability, Retirement and Death. Unless otherwise set forth in

(A) age 65, (B) age 62 with a minimum of 5 years of employment with or service to the Company or (C) age 55 with a minimum of 10 years of employment with or service to the Company, or (iii) the occurrence of such
Participant’s Disability Date, or (2) for any reason within two years following a Change in Control, or (3) under any other circumstances that the Committee may determine shall warrant the application of this provision, the
restrictions imposed hereunder shall lapse with respect to such number of shares of Restricted Stock, if any, or Restricted Stock Units, if any, as the case may be, as shall be determined by the Committee, and the balance of such shares of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as the case may be, shall be forfeited to the Company. 
 (b) Other Termination.
Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of such award terminates for any other reason during the Restriction
Period, then the portion of such award which is subject to a Restriction Period on the effective date of such holder’s termination of employment or service shall be forfeited by such holder and such portion shall be canceled by the Company.

 IV. PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS 

4.1 Performance Share Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Performance Share Awards to such eligible persons
under Section 1.4 as may be selected by the Committee. 
 4.2 Terms of Performance Share Awards. Performance Share Awards
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable. 

(a) Number of Performance Shares and Performance Measures. The number of Performance Shares subject to any award and the
Performance Measures and Performance Period applicable to such award shall be determined by the Committee. 
 (b) Vesting and
Forfeiture. The Agreement relating to a Performance Share Award shall provide, in the manner determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and subject to the provisions of this Plan, for the vesting of


  
 9 








 
such award, if specified Performance Measures are satisfied or met during the specified Performance Period, and for the forfeiture of such award, if specified Performance Measures are not
satisfied or met during the specified Performance Period. 
 (c) Settlement of Vested Performance Share Awards. The Agreement
relating to a Performance Share Award (i) shall specify whether such award may be settled in shares of Common Stock (including shares of Restricted Stock) or cash or a combination thereof and (ii) may specify whether the holder thereof
shall be entitled to receive, upon settlement of such award, dividend equivalents, and, if determined by the Committee, interest on or the deemed reinvestment of any deferred dividend equivalents, with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to such award. If a Performance Share Award is settled in shares of Restricted Stock, a certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.2(c) and the holder of such Restricted
Stock shall have such rights of a stockholder of the Company as determined pursuant to Section 3.2(d). Prior to the settlement of a Performance Share Award in shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock, the holder of such award shall
have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such award and shall have rights as a stockholder of the Company in accordance with Section 5.10. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan to the contrary, payments of cash, shares of Common Stock, or any combination thereof to any Participant in respect of the settlement of a Performance Share Award for any Performance Period shall not exceed $12,000,000, with respect to the cash
payment for such award, and also shall not exceed 400,000 shares of Common Stock, with respect to the Common Stock payment for such award. 

4.3 Termination of Employment. (a) Disability, Retirement and Death. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement
relating to a Performance Share Award, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of such award terminates prior to the end of the Performance Period applicable to such award (1) by reason of (i) death, or
(ii) retirement on or after (A) age 65 (B) age 62 with a minimum of 5 years of employment with or service to the Company or (C) age 55 (with a minimum of 10 years of employment with or service to the Company, or (iii) the
occurrence of such Participant’s Disability Date, or (2) for any reason within two years following a Change in Control, or (3) under any other circumstances that the Committee may determine shall warrant the application of this
provision, the Committee, in its sole discretion and taking into consideration the performance of such Participant and the performance of the Company during the Performance Period, may authorize the payment to such Participant (or his legal
representative) at the end of the Performance Period of all or any portion of the Performance Award which would have been paid to such Participant for such Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any award which is intended
to be “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, no payment will be made in connection with the retirement of the holder of the award under the circumstances specified above unless the
applicable Performance Measures have been satisfied. 
 (b) Other Termination. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement
relating to a Performance Share Award, if the employment with the Company of the holder of a Performance Share Award terminates for any other reason prior to the end of a Performance Period, then the portion of such award which is subject to such
Performance Period on the effective date of such holder’s termination of employment shall be forfeited and such portion shall be canceled by the Company.

 5.2
Amendments. The Board may amend this Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including Section 162(m) and Section 422 of the Code;
provided, however, that no amendment shall be made without stockholder approval if such amendment would (a) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available under this Plan (subject to Section 5.7), (b) effect any
change inconsistent with Section 422 of the Code, (c) extend the term of this Plan or (d) reduce the minimum purchase price or base price of a share of Common Stock subject to an option or SAR. No amendment may impair the rights of a

 5.3 Agreement. Each award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Agreement
setting forth the terms and conditions applicable to such award. No award shall be valid until an Agreement is executed by the Company and the recipient of such award and, upon execution by each party and delivery of the Agreement to the Company
(which may occur by facsimile or other electronic transmission), such award shall be effective as of the effective date set forth in the Agreement. 

5.4 Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement relating
to an award, no award shall be transferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures, if any, approved by the Company. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence or the
Agreement relating to an award, each award may be exercised or settled during the holder’s lifetime only by the holder or the holder’s legal representative or similar person. Except to the extent permitted by the second preceding sentence
or the Agreement relating to an award, no award may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon
any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any such award, such award and all rights thereunder shall immediately become null and void. 

5.5 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common
Stock or the payment of any cash pursuant to an award made hereunder, payment by the holder of such award of any Federal, state, local or other taxes which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with such award. Such obligation shall
be satisfied either (i) by the Company by withholding whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to a holder, having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in
connection with an award (the “Tax Date”), or withholding an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation or (ii) by the holder by any of the following
means: (A) a cash payment to the Company in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (B) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of shares of Common Stock having
an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (C) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an
aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to the holder, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (D) in the case of the exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option, a cash payment in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the optionee has submitted an
irrevocable notice of exercise or (E) any combination of (A), (B) and (C). Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in
cash by the holder. The provisions of this Section shall supersede the provisions of any Agreement relating to an award, including any award outstanding as of the date of this Amendment. 

5.6 Restrictions on Shares. Each award made hereunder shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company
determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is
necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the exercise or settlement of such award or the delivery of shares thereunder, such award shall not be exercised or settled and such shares shall not be delivered unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company may require that certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant
to any award made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. 

5.7 Adjustment. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than a regular cash dividend, the number and
class of securities available under this Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with 

  
 11 








 
respect to which options, SARs, Stock Awards or Performance Share Awards or a combination thereof may be awarded during any calendar year to any one person, the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards in the form of Incentive Stock Options, the number and class of securities subject to each outstanding option and the purchase price per security, the terms of each outstanding SAR, the number and class of
securities subject to each outstanding Stock Award, and the terms of each outstanding Performance Share shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding options and SARs without an increase in
the aggregate purchase price or base price. The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive. If any such adjustment would result in a fractional security being (a) available under this Plan,
such fractional security shall be disregarded, or (b) subject to an award under this Plan, the Company shall pay the holder of such award, in connection with the first vesting, exercise or settlement of such award, in whole or in part,
occurring after such adjustment, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the fraction of such security (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value on the vesting, exercise or
settlement date over (B) the exercise or base price, if any, of such award. 
 5.8 Change in Control. 

(a)(1) Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan, unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement relating to the applicable award granted
hereunder, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section (b)(3) or (4) below in connection with which the holders of Common Stock receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act,

applicable to any outstanding Performance Share shall lapse, (iv) the Performance Measures applicable to any outstanding Restricted Stock Award (if any), Restricted Stock Unit Award (if any) and to any outstanding Performance Share shall be
deemed to be satisfied at the target level and (v) there shall be substituted for each share of Common Stock available under this Plan, whether or not then subject to an outstanding award, the number, type and class of shares into which each
outstanding share of Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control. In the event of any such substitution, the purchase price per share in the case of an option and the base price in the cases of an SAR shall be appropriately
adjusted by the Committee (whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive), such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding options and SARs without an increase in the aggregate purchase price or base price. 

(2) Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or any Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section (b)(1) or
(2) below, or in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section (b)(3) or (4) below in connection with which the holders of Common Stock receive consideration other than shares of common stock that are registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, each outstanding award shall be surrendered to the Company by the holder thereof, and each such award shall immediately be canceled by the Company, and the holder shall receive, within ten days of the occurrence
of a Change in Control a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to (i) in the case of an option, the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to such option, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the greater of (A) the
highest per share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place and (B) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of occurrence of the Change in Control, over the
purchase price per share of Common Stock subject to the option, (ii) in the case of a Free-Standing SAR, the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to such SAR, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the greater of (A) the highest per
share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place or (B) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of occurrence of the Change in Control, over the base price of
the SAR, (iii) in the case of a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award, the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to such award, multiplied by the greater of (A) the highest per share price offered to stockholders of
the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place and (B) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of occurrence of the Change in Control or (iv) in the case of a Performance Share Award, the
target number of Performance Shares then subject to such award, multiplied by the greater of (A) the highest per share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place and (B) the
highest Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock during the 90-day period immediately preceding the date of the Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, each Tandem SAR shall be surrendered
by the holder thereof and shall be canceled simultaneously with the cancellation of the related option. The Company may, but is not required to, cooperate with any person who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to assure that any cash
payment in accordance with the foregoing to such person is not subject to recapture under Section 16 and the rules and regulations thereunder.
