 3. Administration. 

(a) Authority of the Committee. Except as otherwise provided below, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee

subject to, and other terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to, Awards; (iv) prescribe Award agreements (which need not be identical for each Participant) and rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan;
(v) construe and interpret the Plan and Award agreements and correct defects, supply omissions, or reconcile inconsistencies herein and therein; (vi) suspend the right to exercise Awards during any period that the Committee deems
appropriate to comply with applicable securities laws, and thereafter extend the exercise period of an Award by an equivalent period of time; and (vii) make all other decisions and determinations as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, its Subsidiaries, Eligible Persons, Participants, and beneficiaries of Participants.

 (b) Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. At any time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified
Member, (i) any action of the Committee relating to an Award intended by the Committee to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code may be taken by a subcommittee, designated by

such abstention or recusal, the Committee remains composed of two or more Qualified Members. Any action authorized by such a Qualifying Committee or by the Committee upon the 

 

 - 5 - 








 
abstention or recusal of such non-Qualified Member(s) shall be deemed to be the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan. The express grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the
taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. 
 (c)
Delegation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate to officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall
determine, to perform such functions, including but not limited to administrative functions, as the Committee may determine appropriate. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Award granted under the Plan to any person or entity who is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any non-employee director of the Company or any Subsidiary) or to any
person who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be expressly approved by the Committee or Qualifying Committee in accordance with subsection (b) above. 

(d) Section 409A. The Committee shall take into account compliance with Section 409A of the Code in connection with any
grant of an Award under the Plan, to the extent applicable. 
 4. Shares Available Under the Plan. 

(a) Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 hereof, the total number of
shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan shall be [            ], all of which may be issued or transferred upon exercise or
settlement of Incentive Stock Options. Shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares of Stock reacquired by the Company on the open market or by private purchase. 

(b) Share Counting Rules. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double
counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or substitute awards) and make adjustments if the number of shares of Stock actually delivered differs from the number of shares previously counted in connection with an Award. To the extent that an
Award expires or is canceled, forfeited, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated without a delivery to the Participant of the full number of shares to which the Award related, the undelivered shares will again be available for grant. Shares
withheld in payment of the exercise price or taxes relating to an Award and shares equal to the number surrendered in payment of any exercise price or taxes relating to an Award shall be deemed to constitute shares not delivered to the Participant
and shall be deemed to again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that such shares shall not become available for issuance hereunder if either (i) the applicable shares are withheld or surrendered following
the termination of the Plan, or (ii) at the time the applicable shares are withheld or surrendered, it would constitute a material revision of the Plan subject to stockholder approval under any then-applicable rules of the national securities
exchange on which the Stock is listed. 
 (c) 162(m) Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during
any time that the Company is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, the maximum 
  

 - 6 - 








 
number of shares of Stock with respect to which Options, Performance Awards, and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent granted as an Award under the Plan) may be granted to any individual in
any one year shall not exceed the maximum number of shares of Stock available for issue hereunder, as such number may change from time to time. 

5. Options. 

(a) General. Options may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall
deem appropriate; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Eligible Persons who are employed by the Employer. The provisions of separate Options shall be set forth in an Option Agreement, which agreements
need not be identical. 
 (b) Term. The term of each Option shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant;
provided, however, that no Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted. 

(c) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock for each Option shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant;
provided, however, that if an Option is intended (i) to not be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder, or (iii) to be an Incentive Stock Option, in each case, the applicable exercise price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value, subject to
subsection (h) below in the case of any Incentive Stock Option. 
 (d) Payment for Stock. Payment for shares of
Stock acquired pursuant to Options granted hereunder shall be made in full, upon exercise of the Options, (i) in immediately available funds in United States dollars, or by certified or bank cashier’s check; (ii) by delivery of a
notice of “net exercise” to the Company, pursuant to which the Participant shall receive the number of shares of Stock underlying the Options so exercised reduced by the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the Options divided by the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; (iii) by delivery of shares of Stock having a value equal to the exercise price; or (iv) by any other means approved by the Committee. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the Committee determines that any form of payment available hereunder would be in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, such form of payment shall not be available. 

(e) Vesting. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of
performance or other conditions, in each case, as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate
the vesting of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of any such Option other than with respect to vesting. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of an Option shall occur only while
the Participant is employed or rendering services to the Employer, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination with the Employer for any reason. If an Option is exercisable in installments, such installments or portions thereof
which become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Option expires.

 (f) Transferability of Options. An Option shall not be transferable except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nonqualified Stock Options shall be transferable to the extent provided in the Option
Agreement or otherwise determined by the Committee. 
 (g) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as may otherwise
be provided by the Committee in the Option Agreement: 
 (i) In the event of a Participant’s Termination
with the Employer prior to the Expiration Date for any reason other than (A) by the Employer for Cause, (B) by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, or (C) by reason of a Qualifying Retirement, (1) all vesting
with respect to such Participant’s Options shall cease, (2) all of such Participant’s unvested Options shall expire as of the date of such Termination, and (3) all of such Participant’s vested Options shall remain
exercisable until the earlier of the Expiration Date and the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of such Termination. 

(ii) In the event of a Participant’s Termination with the Employer prior to the Expiration Date by reason of such
Participant’s death or Disability, (A) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Options shall cease, (B) all of such Participant’s unvested Options shall expire as of the date of such Termination, and (C) all of
such Participant’s vested Options shall expire on the earlier of the Expiration Date and the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such Termination due to death or Disability of the Participant. In the event of a
Participant’s death, such Participant’s Options shall remain exercisable by the person or persons to whom a Participant’s rights under the Options pass by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution until their expiration,
but only to the extent the Options were vested by such Participant at the time of such Termination due to death. 

(iii) In the event of a Participant’s Termination with the Employer prior to the Expiration Date by reason of a
Qualifying Retirement, (A) all of such Participant’s Options shall continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule as if no such termination had occurred, and (B) such Options shall remain exercisable until the
Expiration Date. 
 (iv) In the event of a Participant’s Termination with the Employer prior to the
Expiration Date by the Employer for Cause, all of such Participant’s Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately expire as of the date of such Termination. 

(h) Special Provisions Applicable to Incentive Stock Options. 

(i) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any Participant who, at the time the option is granted, owns directly, or
indirectly within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary thereof, unless such
Incentive Stock Option (A) has an exercise price of at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant of such Option and (B) cannot be exercised more than five (5) years after the date it
is granted. 
  

 - 8 - 








 (ii) To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
date of grant) of Stock for which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options
shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. 
 (iii) Each Participant who receives an Incentive Stock Option
must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Participant makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. 

6. Restricted Stock. 

(a) General. Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee
shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of each Restricted Stock grant shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement, which agreements need not be identical. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(b), except as
otherwise set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise set
forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, cash dividends and stock dividends, if any, with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and shall be subject to forfeiture to the
same degree as the shares of Restricted Stock to which such dividends relate. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld. 

(b) Restrictions on Transfer. In addition to any other restrictions set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement,
until such time that the Restricted Stock has vested pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement, which vesting the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate at any time, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer,
pledge, or otherwise encumber the Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock whenever it may determine that, by
reason of changes in applicable laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date of the Restricted Stock Award, such action is appropriate. 

(c) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee in the Restricted Stock Agreement,
in the event of a Participant’s Termination with the Employer for any reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted Stock has vested, (i) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock shall cease,
and (ii) as soon as practicable following such Termination, the Company shall repurchase from the Participant, and the Participant shall sell, all of such Participant’s unvested shares of Restricted Stock at a purchase price equal to the
original purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock, or if the original purchase price is equal to $0, such unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company for no consideration as of the date of such
Termination.

 7. Performance Awards. 

(a) General. The Board may from time to time authorize grants of Performance Awards to Participants upon such terms and conditions

(b) Value of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by
the Committee at the time of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant. In addition to any other non-performance terms included in the Performance Award Agreement, the
Committee shall set the applicable Performance Objectives in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or number of Performance Units or Performance Shares, as the case may be, that will be
paid out to the Participant.

applicable Performance Period, the holder of Performance Units or Performance Shares, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive payout on the value and number of the applicable Performance Units or Performance Shares earned by the Participant
over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved and any other non-performance terms met. 

(d) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units and Performance
Shares shall be as determined by the Committee and as evidenced in the Performance Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units and Performance Shares in the form of cash,
Stock, or other Awards (or in a combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Units or Performance Shares, as the case may be, at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as practicable after the end of the
Performance Period. Any Stock may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Performance Award Agreement
pertaining to the grant of the Performance Award. 
 (e) Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided in a
Performance Award Agreement or otherwise at any time by the Committee, Performance Units and Performance Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Performance Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, a Participant’s rights under the Plan shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by such Participant.

 (f) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as may otherwise be provided by the
Committee in the Performance Award Agreement, if, prior to the time that the applicable Performance Period has expired, a Participant undergoes a Termination with the Employer for any reason, all of such Participant’s Performance Awards shall
be forfeited by the Participant to the Company for no consideration. 
 (g) Performance Objectives. 

(i) Each Performance Award shall specify the Performance Objectives that must be achieved before such Award shall become
vested and payable. The Company also may specify a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above such
minimum acceptable level but falls short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance Objectives. 

(ii) Performance Objectives may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the
performance of an individual Participant or the Employer, division, department, or function within the Company or the Participant’s Employer. Performance Objectives may be measured on an absolute or relative basis. Relative performance may be
measured by comparison to a group of peer companies or to a financial market index. Performance Objectives shall be limited to specified levels of or increases in one or more of the following: return on equity; diluted earnings per share; net
earnings; total earnings; earnings growth; return on capital; working capital turnover; return on assets; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization; sales; sales growth; gross margin; return
on investment; increase in the fair market value per share; share price (including but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return); operating profit; cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash
flow); cash flow return on investment (which equals net cash flow divided by total capital); inventory turns; financial return ratios; total return to stockholders; market share; earnings measures/ratios; economic value added; balance sheet
measurements including (but not limited to receivable turnover); internal rate of return; and expense targets. 

(iii) The Committee shall adjust Performance Objectives and the related minimum acceptable level of achievement if, in the
sole judgment of the Committee, events or transactions have occurred after the applicable date of grant of a Performance Award that are unrelated to the performance of the Company and/or Participant and result in a distortion of the Performance
Objectives or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement. Potential transactions or events giving rise to adjustment include but are not limited to (i) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items or events, and other
unusual or non-recurring charges; (ii) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the Company’s management; and (iii) a change in tax law or accounting standards
required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may also grant Stock as a bonus, or may grant other awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or a Subsidiary to pay cash or deliver other property under this Plan or under other plans or compensatory
arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee. The terms and conditions applicable to such Awards shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced by Award agreements, which agreements need not be identical.

as to the number, price, or kind of a share of Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards (i) in the event of changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock dividends, stock splits,
reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the date of grant of any such Award (including any Corporate Event, as defined
below); (ii) in connection with any extraordinary dividend declared and paid in respect of shares of Stock, whether payable in the form of cash, stock, or any other form of consideration; or (iii) in the event of any change in applicable
laws or circumstances that results in or could result in, in either case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, Participants in the
Plan. 
 (b) Corporate Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as may otherwise be provided in an Award agreement,
in connection with (i) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation; (ii) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the
holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation and/or other property, including cash; (iii) a Change in Control; or (iv) the reorganization or liquidation of the Company (each, a “Corporate Event”),
the Committee may, in its discretion, provide for any one or more of the following: 
 (1) that such Awards be
assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event, in which case, the Awards shall be subject to the adjustment set forth in subsection (a) above, and to the extent such Awards are Performance Awards or other Awards that vest
subject to the achievement of performance criteria, such Performance Objectives or similar performance criteria shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Corporate Event; 

 

 - 12 - 








 (2) that the vesting of any Awards shall be accelerated, subject to the
consummation of such Corporate Event; 
 (3) that any or all vested and/or unvested Awards be cancelled as of the
consummation of such Corporate Event, and that Participants holding vested Awards (including any Awards that would vest upon the Corporate Event but for such cancellation) so cancelled will receive a payment in respect of cancellation of their
Awards based on the amount of the per-share consideration being paid for the Stock in connection with such Corporate Event, less, in the case of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise, the applicable exercise price;
provided, however, that holders of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise shall only be entitled to consideration in respect of cancellation of such Awards if the per-share consideration less the applicable
exercise price is greater than zero (and to the extent the per-share consideration is less than or equal to the applicable exercise price, such Awards shall be cancelled for no consideration); and 

(4) that Awards (other than Awards that are “stock rights” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code)
be replaced with a cash incentive program that preserves the value of the Awards so replaced (determined as of the consummation of the Corporate Event), with subsequent payment of cash incentives subject to the same vesting conditions as applicable
to the Awards so replaced, and payment to be made within thirty (30) days of the applicable vesting date. 
 Payments to holders pursuant
to clause (3) above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in the form of such other consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities (or combination thereof) as such Participant
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the Participant had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Award at such time (less any applicable
exercise price). In addition, in connection with any Corporate Event, prior to any payment or adjustment contemplated under this subsection (b), the Committee may require a Participant to (i) represent and warrant as to the unencumbered title
to his Awards, (ii) bear such Participant’s pro rata share of any post-closing indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing purchase price adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights, holdback terms, and similar conditions
as the other holders of Stock; and (iii) deliver customary transfer documentation as reasonably determined by the Committee. 

(c) Fractional Shares. Any adjustment provided under this Section 9 may provide for the elimination of any fractional share
that might otherwise become subject to an Award. 
 10. Use of Proceeds. 

The proceeds received from the sale of Stock pursuant to the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

 11. Rights and Privileges as a Stockholder. 

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no person shall be entitled to the rights and privileges of stock ownership in
respect of shares of Stock that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that person. 
 12.
Employment or Service Rights. 
 No individual shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or,
having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any right to be retained in the employ or service of the
Company or a Subsidiary. 
 13. Compliance With Laws. 

The obligation of the Company to deliver Stock upon vesting and/or exercise of any Award shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules,
and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited
from offering to sell or selling any shares of Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or unless the Company has received an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company
shall be under no obligation to register for sale or resale under the Securities Act any of the shares of Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan or any shares of Stock issued upon exercise or settlement of Awards. If the shares of Stock offered
for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares and may legend the Stock certificates representing such shares in such
manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. 
 14. Withholding Obligations.

 As a condition to the vesting and/or exercise of any Award, the Committee may require that a Participant satisfy, through
deduction or withholding from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, or through such other arrangements as are satisfactory to the Committee, the minimum amount of all federal, state, and local income and other taxes of any kind
required or permitted to be withheld in connection with such vesting and/or exercise. The Committee, in its discretion, may permit shares of Stock to be used to satisfy tax withholding requirements, and such shares shall be valued at their Fair
Market Value as of the settlement date of the Award; provided, however, that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the number of shares of Stock that may be used to satisfy tax withholding requirements may not exceed the minimum statutorily
required withholding amount with respect to such Award.

 15. Amendment of the Plan or Awards. 

(a) Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan; provided, however, that the
Board shall not, without stockholder approval, make any amendment to the Plan that requires stockholder approval pursuant to applicable law or the applicable rules of the national securities exchange on which the Stock is principally listed.

 (b) Amendment of Awards. The Board or the Committee, at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any
one or more Awards; provided, however, that the rights under any Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless the Participant consents in writing (it being understood that no action taken by the Board or the Committee that is
expressly permitted under the Plan, including, without limitation, any actions described in Section 9 hereof, shall constitute an amendment of an Award for such purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the limitations of applicable
law, if any, and without an affected Participant’s consent, the Board or the Committee may amend the terms of any one or more Awards if necessary to bring the Award into compliance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury
regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the Effective Date. 

(c) No Repricing of Awards without Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding subsection (a) or (b) above, or any other
provision of the Plan, repricing of Awards shall not be permitted without stockholder approval. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following):
(i) changing the terms of an Award to lower its exercise price (other than on account of capital adjustments resulting from share splits, etc., as described in Section 9(a)); (ii) any other action that is treated as
“repricing” under generally accepted accounting principals; and (iii) repurchasing for cash or canceling an Award in exchange for another Award at a time when its exercise price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the
underlying Stock, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with an event set forth in Section 9(b). 
 16.
Termination or Suspension of the Plan. 
 The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.
Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by
the Board. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. 
 17. Effective
Date of the Plan. 
 The Plan is effective as of the Effective Date. 

18. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Certificates. Stock acquired pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Committee
shall determine. If certificates representing Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions

  

 - 15 - 








 
applicable to such Stock, that the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, that the Stock shall be held in book entry form rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of any applicable restrictions. 

(b) Clawback/Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all Awards granted under the Plan shall
be and remain subject to any incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Board, and in each case, as may be amended from time to time. Any such policy adoption or amendment shall in no event
require the prior consent of any Participant. 
 (c) Participants Outside of the United States. The Committee may modify
the terms of any Award under the Plan made to or held by a Participant who is then a resident or primarily employed outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall
conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then a resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other
restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence or employment abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such Award to a Participant who is a resident or primarily employed in the United States. An Award may be modified
under this Section 18(b) in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified. Additionally, the Committee may adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible Persons who are foreign nationals or
employed outside the United States. 
 (d) No Liability of Committee Members. No member of the Committee shall be
personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his behalf in his capacity as a member of the Committee or for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer, or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against all costs and expenses
(including counsel fees) and liabilities (including sums paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or willful misconduct; provided,
however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which
such persons may be entitled under the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, each as may be amended from time to time, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold
them harmless. 
 (e) Payments Following Accidents or Illness. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any
amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal
representative) 
  

 - 16 - 








 
may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to
be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor. 

(f) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware
without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 
 (g) Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require
the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain
separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of
the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law. 

(h) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying, acting or
failing to act, and shall not be liable for having so relied, acted, or failed to act in good faith, upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection
with the Plan by any person or persons other than such member. 
 (i) Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the
sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
