 UNITED CONTINENTAL HOLDINGS, INC. 
 2006 DIRECTOR EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

(AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JUNE 9, 2011) 
  

	1.	Description. 

 (a)
Purpose. The purpose of the United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2006 Director Equity Incentive Plan (the “DEIP”) is to attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable non-employee directors by providing such directors
with greater flexibility in the form and timing of receipt of compensation for their service on the Board of Directors and an opportunity to obtain a greater proprietary interest in the Company’s long-term success and progress through the
receipt of equity-based awards, thereby aligning such directors’ interests more closely with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. The DEIP is intended to be unfunded for tax purposes. For amounts payable under the DEIP that
constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the DEIP is intended to comply in form and operation with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The DEIP will be construed and
administered in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to the foregoing. 
 (b) Effective Date. This DEIP
became effective as of the effective date of the confirmed Plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Effective Date”) and shall remain in effect as long as any Periodic Awards or Accounts under it remain
outstanding. This DEIP constitutes an amendment and restatement of the UAL Corporation 2006 Director Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and is effective as of June 9, 2011.

	5.	Benefits. 

 (a)
Components of Director Compensation. Qualified Directors who are eligible under Section 4(a) may receive Periodic Awards, Share Unit Compensation and Director Cash Compensation as part of their compensation for services rendered as
directors of the Company, all as determined by the Board from time to time. A Qualified Director may defer the receipt of some or all of his or her Director Cash Compensation through credits to his or her Cash Account and/or Share Account, and may
defer the receipt of Shares that he or she would otherwise be issued under a Periodic Award through credits to his or her Share Account. 
 (b) Share Unit Compensation. At the discretion of the Board, each Qualified Director may receive Share Unit Compensation, which is additional annual compensation in the form of credits to the
Qualified Director’s Share Account. 
 (c) Periodic Awards. At the discretion of the Board, a Qualified Director may
be granted from time to time one or more equity-based awards, which may include (i) Options, (ii) Restricted Stock, (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights, (iv) Share Units, (v) Shares and/or (vi) other equity-based or
equity-related awards. The terms of Options, Restricted Stock and Stock Appreciation Rights are set forth in Sections 8, 9 and 10, respectively. 
 (d) Deferral Accounts. For each Participant, the Committee will establish and maintain a Cash Account and a Share Account to evidence deferred amounts credited with respect to the Participant
pursuant to Section 6. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(a), each Participant will always have a fully-vested, nonforfeitable right to that portion of his or her Account credited under Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) and the earnings
credits thereon. A Participant’s interest in Share Units reflecting the deferral of receipt of Shares subject to vesting will be nonforfeitable at the times and in the amounts provided under the vesting requirements established in the Periodic
Award. 
 (e) Receipt of Shares in Lieu of Director Cash Compensation. A Qualified Director may elect to forego receipt
of all or any portion of the Director Cash Compensation payable to him or her for any period and instead receive whole Shares of equivalent value to the Director Cash Compensation so foregone. An election under this Section 5(e) will be valid
only if it is in writing, signed by the Qualified Director, filed with the Committee before receipt of the Director Cash Compensation and otherwise in accordance with Plan Rules. Once in effect, an election under this Section 5(e) shall remain
in effect until it is revised or revoked in accordance with Plan Rules. The number of whole Shares to be distributed to the Qualified Director by reason of an election under this Section 5(e) shall be equal to the quotient of
(i) the dollar amount of the Director Cash Compensation the Qualified Director has elected to have paid to him or her in Shares, divided by (ii) the Market Price as of the date on which the Director Cash Compensation would otherwise have
been payable to the Qualified Director. The Market Price of any fractional Share shall be paid to the Qualified Director in cash.

	6.	Participant Share Unit Compensation and Deferral Accounts. 

 (a) Share Unit Compensation. The amount of the Qualified Director’s Share Unit Compensation to be credited to his or her Share Account will be expressed in U.S. dollars and determined from
time to time by the Board. A Qualified Director’s Share Account will be credited pursuant to this section on the date specified by the Board (“Share Unit Grant Date”) with the number of whole and fractional Share Units equal to the
quotient of: (i) the dollar amount of the Share Unit Compensation allocated to such Qualified Director , divided by (ii) the Market Price on the Share Unit Grant Date. Share Unit Compensation credited to a Qualified Director’s Share
Account may be subject to vesting over such period as set by the Board, not to exceed ten years. The Board may specify that Share Unit Compensation shall only be settled in cash (in which case such credits shall not result in any reduction in Shares
available under the accounting provisions set forth in Section 3(b)) and the Board may further specify that any such cash payments are not eligible for deferral pursuant to the remaining provisions of this Section 6 or Section 7.

 (b) Deferral of Director Cash Compensation. Elective deferrals of Director Cash Compensation will be made in
accordance with the following rules: 
 (i) Election to Defer Director Cash Compensation. Each Qualified Director may
elect, in accordance with this Section 6(b) and Plan Rules, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of his or her Director Cash Compensation relating to services performed and Director Cash Compensation earned during an Election Period. The
Committee will credit his or her Cash Account and/or Share Account with the amount of compensation the Qualified Director elected to defer. Any such deferral election will automatically apply to the Participant’s Director Cash Compensation, as
the amount of such Director Cash Compensation is adjusted from time to time. 
 (ii) Time of Filing Election. A deferral
election pursuant to this Section 6(b) will not be effective unless it is made on a properly completed election form received by the Committee before the first day of the Election Period to which the deferral election relates or, in the case of
an individual who first becomes a Qualified Director on or after the first day of the calendar year, within 30 days after the date such individual becomes a Qualified Director. Any election made under this clause (ii) will apply only to
Director Cash Compensation payable for services performed after the effective date of the election, with a proportionate reduction (determined on the basis of calendar days) in any payment due for a service period that includes services performed
before the effective date of the election. 
 (iii) Allocation of Deferral. In conjunction with each deferral election
made pursuant to this Section 6(b), a Qualified Director shall elect, in accordance with and subject to Plan Rules, how the deferral is to be allocated (in increments of ten percent only) among his or her Cash Account and Share Account. The sum
of such percentages must not exceed 100 percent. Any portion of the deferral for which no election is made will be allocated to the Qualified Director’s Cash Account. 
 (iv) Credits. Director Cash Compensation deferred pursuant to this Section 6(b) will be credited to a Qualified Director’s Cash Account and/or Share Account, as elected, as of the last
day of each calendar quarter. Such credits to the Qualified Director’s Cash Account will be in United States dollars equal to the amount of the deferral allocated to such Account. Credits to a Qualified Director’s Share Account will be the
number of whole and fractional Share Units determined by dividing the United States dollar amount of the deferral allocated to the Share Account by the Market Price of a Share on the last day of the calendar quarter. 

(v) Succeeding Election Periods. Unless the election is revoked pursuant to clause (vii), a deferral election made pursuant to
this section will remain in effect until the last day of the calendar year in which it is revoked or modified in accordance with Plan Rules. The Qualified Director may change his or her deferral by delivering a new deferral election not later than
the day before the first Election Period to which the new deferral election relates. 

  
 6 








 (vi) Irrevocability. Except as provided in clause (vii), a deferral election made
pursuant to this Section 6(b) for an Election Period is irrevocable after the latest date by which the deferral election is required to be given to the Committee for such Election Period. 

(vii) Revocation. Any deferral election made under Section 6(b) by a Participant who receives a distribution pursuant to
Section 7(b) will be revoked to the extent the Participant satisfies the requirements of Section 7(b) and Plan Rules, and no further amounts will be deferred until the Qualified Director makes a new, effective deferral election under
Section 6(b). 
 (viii) Code Section 409A. An election, or revocation of an election, under this
Section 6(b) shall be permitted only if it complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c)
Deferral of Restricted Stock or Shares Issuable Under Periodic Awards. Each Qualified Director may elect, in accordance with this Section 6(c) and Plan Rules, to defer receipt of all or a portion of the Shares or Restricted Stock
issuable pursuant to a Periodic Award granted under the DEIP, other than on account of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right. 

(i) Time of Filing Election. A deferral election made pursuant to this Section 6(c) will not be effective unless it is made
on a properly completed election form received by the Committee before the first day of the Election Period to which the deferral election relates or, in the case of an individual who first becomes a Qualified Director on or after the first day of
the Election Period, within 30 days after the date such individual becomes a Qualified Director. Any election made under this clause applies to the Qualified Director’s receipt of Restricted Stock or Shares relating to services performed after
the effective date of the election. 
 (ii) Credits. Deferral of the receipt of Shares pursuant to this Section 6(c)
will be credited to the Qualified Director’s Share Account as of the day of the issuance of the Award of Restricted Stock or Shares, as the case may be. The number of Share Units credited to the Qualified Director’s Share Account will
equal the number of Shares otherwise issuable following the grant of the Periodic Award of Restricted Stock or Shares, as the case may be. 
 (iii) Succeeding Election Periods. Unless the election is revoked pursuant to clause (v), a deferral election made pursuant to this section will remain in effect until the last day of the calendar
year in which it is revoked or modified in accordance with Plan Rules. The Qualified Director may change his or her deferral by delivering a new deferral election not later than the day before the first Election Period to which the new deferral
election relates. 
 (iv) Irrevocability. Except as provided in clause (v), a deferral election made pursuant to this
Section 6(c) that is in effect for an Election Period is irrevocable after the latest date by which the deferral election is required to be given to the Committee for such Election Period. 

(v) Revocation. Any deferral election made under Section 6(c) by a Participant who receives a distribution pursuant to
Section 7(b) will be revoked to the extent the Participant satisfies the requirements of Section 7(b) and Plan Rules, and no further amounts will be deferred until the Qualified Director makes a new, effective deferral election under
Section 6(c). 
 (vi) Code Section 409A. An election, or revocation of an election, under this
Section 6(c), shall be permitted only if it complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

 (d) Earnings Credits. 

(i) Cash Accounts. As of the last day of each calendar quarter, and before any credits have been made pursuant to Section 6
on such date, a Participant’s Cash Account will be credited with interest, calculated on the balance in the Cash Account as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter at the Prime Rate in effect on such date. 

(ii) Share Accounts. A Participant’s Share Account will be credited as of the date on which dividends are paid on Shares with
that number of whole and fractional Share Units determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividends that would have been payable to the Participant if the number of Share Units credited to the Participant’s Share Account on the record
date for such dividend payment had then been Shares registered in the name of such Participant by the Market Price of a Share on the date as of which the credit is made. Unless otherwise determined by the Board in connection with the declaration of
such dividend, and Share Units credited to a Participant’s Share Account shall only be settled in cash. 
  

	7.	Distributions. 

 (a)
Distribution of Accounts Following Separation from Service. 
 (i) Distribution Elections. 

(A) Initial Election. Subject to Sections 7(b), 7(c) and 7(h), a Participant may elect, in accordance with Plan
Rules and subject to Section 409A of the Code, the manner of distribution (as described in clause (ii)) or the time of distribution (as defined in clause (iv)), provided such election, as it relates to deferrals under Section 6(b) or (c),
is made no later than the date of the related deferral election and, as it relates to Share Unit Compensation credited under Section 6(a), is made no later than the close of the calendar year preceding the calendar year during which the
services giving rise to such compensation are performed, or, in the case of an individual who first becomes a Qualified Director on or after the first day of the calendar year, within 30 days after the date such individual becomes a Qualified
Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may specify that Share Unit Compensation credited under Section 6(a) with respect to a specific Share Unit Grant Date is not subject to deferral, in which case distributions with respect to
such Share Unit Compensation shall be subject to distribution as specified by the Board. 
 (B) Redeferral
Election. A Participant may elect to change the time and manner of his or her distribution provided (X) the Participant elects, in accordance with Plan Rules and subject to Section 409A of the Code, at least twelve (12) months
prior to the date that the Participant’s first scheduled payment was to begin, (Y) the election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made, and (Z) the election defers the first payment
at least five (5) years beyond the date payment otherwise would have been made. 
 (ii) Form of Distribution. A
Participant’s Cash Account and Share Account will be distributed as provided in this Section 7(a) in a lump sum payment unless the Participant has elected, as provided in Section 7(a)(i), to receive his or her distribution in the form
of annual installment payments for a period of not more than 10 years. 
 (iii) Medium of Distribution. Any distribution
from a Participant’s Cash Account will be made in cash. Subject to Section 14 and except as otherwise set forth in this Section 7(a)(iii), any distribution from a Participant’s Share Account will be made in whole Shares only,
rounded up to the next whole Share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, the Board shall be permitted to provide that Share Units will be settled in cash. Accordingly, to the extent that the terms of any
award of Share Units credited to a Participant’s Share Account requires that such Share Units be settled in cash instead of in Shares, then any distribution from such Participant’s Share Account with respect to such Share Units shall be
made in cash in an amount equal to the Market Price of a Share on the date of distribution multiplied by the number of Share Units (including any fraction thereof), provided that the Board may specify in the terms of the award that another amount


  
 8 








 
in cash will be distributed in respect of such Share Units. To the extent that the Board specifies that Share Units will be settled in cash, the medium of distribution set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence shall override any provision of this Plan to the contrary requiring the distribution of such Share Units to be made in Shares. Share Units settled in cash will not reduce the number of Shares available under the DEIP
as set forth in Section 3(a). 
 (iv) Time of Distribution. Unless a Participant has elected in
accordance with Section 7(a)(i) to defer commencement of distribution until a specified date, or unless the Board has specified in accordance with Section 7(a)(i) that Share Unit Compensation credited under Section 6(a) with respect
to a specific Share Unit Grant Date will be distributed at a specified time, distribution to a Participant will be made (if in a lump sum) or will commence (if in installments) in January of the year following the year in which the Participant
experiences a Separation from Service. Distributions upon a specified date will be made, or will commence, as soon as administratively practicable following such specified date, but no later than the end of the calendar year in which the specified
date occurs or, if later, the 15th day of the third month
following the specified date. If a lump sum distribution from a Participant’s Share Account would otherwise be made after the record date for a dividend but before the payment date for such dividend, the distribution of the dividend will be
made as soon as administratively practicable after the earnings credit has been made to the Share Account pursuant to Section 6(d) on the payment date of the dividend, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year in which the payment
date of the dividend occurs or, if later, the 15th day of
the third month following the payment date for such dividend. 
 (v) Amount of Distribution for Cash Account. 

(A) Lump Sum. The amount of a lump sum payment from a Participant’s Cash Account will be equal to the balance
of the Cash Account as of the time of the distribution. 
 (B) Installments. The amount of each
installment payment from a Participant’s Cash Account will be determined by dividing the balance of the Cash Account as of the distribution date for such installment payment by the total number of remaining payments (including the current
payment). 
 (vi) Amount of Distribution for Share Account. 

(A) Lump Sum. A lump sum distribution from a Participant’s Share Account will consist of the number of Shares
equal to the number of Share Units credited to the Share Account as of the time of distribution, rounded up to the next whole Share. 
 (B) Installments. Each installment distribution from a Participant’s Share Account will consist of the number of Shares determined by dividing the number of whole Share Units credited to the
Share Account as of the distribution date for such installment distribution by the total number of remaining payments (including the current payment) and rounding the quotient to the next whole Share. 

(b) Distribution Due to Unforeseeable Emergency. Notwithstanding any distribution election by a Participant to the contrary,
except as set forth in this Section 7(b), a distribution will be made to a Participant from his or her Account if the Participant submits a written distribution request to the Committee and the Committee determines that the Participant has
experienced an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount of the distribution may not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency and may include the amount necessary to pay taxes, as determined by the Committee. Payments
made on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency will not be made to the extent that such Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to
the extent that such liquidation itself would not cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under Section 6(b) and/or 6(c), provided that determination of such limitations is consistent with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code. Any distribution pursuant to this Section 7(b) will be made by the end of the calendar year in which the event giving rise to the Unforeseeable Emergency occurs or, if later, within 90 days of the occurrence of
such event and in the form of a lump sum payment that is in cash from the Cash Account and in Shares from the Share Account (rounded up to the next whole Share). Any distribution pursuant to this Section 7(b) will be made first from the
Participant’s Cash Account and then from the Participant’s Share Account. 

  
 9 








 (c) Small Benefits. 

(i) Cash Account. If the balance of the Cash Account of a Participant who has experienced a Separation from Service is $2,500 or
less on the day of any installment distribution pursuant to Section 7(a)(v)(B), such remaining balance and any cash account balance of a plan of the Company’s that is required to be aggregated with this Plan under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) shall be distributed to the Participant, as soon as administratively practicable, in the form of a lump sum distribution. Each installment distribution to a Participant who has experienced a Separation from Service will
be at least $2,500 or such smaller amount that equals the balance of the Participant’s Cash Account. 
 (ii) Share
Account. If the balance of the Share Account of a Participant who has experienced a Separation from Service is fewer than 100 Share units as of the day of any installment distribution pursuant to Section 7(a)(v)(B), such remaining balance
and any share account balance of a plan of the Company’s that is required to be aggregated with this Plan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) shall be distributed to the Participant, as soon as administratively practicable, in
the form of a lump sum distribution, that will consist of the number of Shares equal to the number of Share Units credited to the Share Account as of that date and the number of share units credited to a share account of any plan required to be
aggregated with this Plan, rounded up to the next whole Share. Each installment distribution to a Participant who has experienced a Separation from Service must be at least 100 Share Units or such smaller number of Share Units that remains in the
Participant’s Share Account. 
 (iii) Any lump sum distribution pursuant to Sections 7(c)(i) and 7(c)(ii) shall not exceed
the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g). 
 (d) Payment in Event of Incapacity. If any individual
entitled to receive any payment under the DEIP is, in the judgment of the Committee, physically, mentally or legally incapable of receiving or acknowledging receipt of the payment, and no legal representative has been appointed for the individual,
the Committee may (but is not required to) cause the payment to be made to any one or more of the following as may be chosen by the Committee: the Beneficiary (in the case of the incapacity of a Participant); the institution maintaining the
individual; a custodian for the individual under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act of any state; or the individual’s spouse, child, parent, or other relative by blood or marriage. The Committee is not required to see to the proper application
of any such payment, and the payment completely discharges all claims under the DEIP against the Company, and the DEIP to the extent of the payment. 
 (e) Reduction of Account Balance. The balance of the Cash or Share Account from which a distribution is made will be reduced, as of the date of the distribution, by the cash amount or number of
Shares distributed, as the case may be. 
 (f) Distribution to a Beneficiary. Following a Participant’s death, the
balances of the Participant’s Cash and Share Accounts will be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum payment whether or not payments had commenced to the Participant in the form of installments prior to his or her
death. Any distribution from a Participant’s Cash Account will be made in cash and any distribution from a Participant’s Share Account will be made in whole Shares, rounded up to the next whole Share. Distributions will be subject to the
following: 
 (i) Time. Distribution to a Beneficiary will be made by the end of the calendar year of
the Participant’s death or, if later, within 90 days of the Participant’s death; provided that if a distribution from the Participant’s Share Account would otherwise be made after the record date for a dividend but before the payment
date for such dividend, the distribution of the dividend will be made as soon as administratively practicable after the earnings credit has been made to the Share Account pursuant to Section 6(d) on the payment date of the dividend, but in no
event later than the end of the calendar year in which the payment date of the dividend occurs or, if later, the
15th day of the third month following the payment date for
such dividend. 
 (ii) Amount. The amount of the lump sum payment from a Participant’s Cash Account will be equal to
the sum of the balances of the Cash Account on the date of distribution. A lump sum distribution from a Participant’s Share Account will consist of the number of Shares equal to the number of Share Units credited to the Share Account, rounded
up to the next whole Share. 

  
 10 









 (g) Beneficiary Designation. 

(i) Each Participant may designate, in accordance with Plan Rules, one or more primary Beneficiaries or alternative Beneficiaries to
receive all or a specified part of the balance of his or her Cash or Share Accounts after his or her death. The Participant may change or revoke any such designation from time to time without notice or consent from any person. No such designation,
change or revocation is effective unless completed and received by the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. 
 (ii)
Any portion of a Participant’s Cash and Share Accounts for which the Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary, revokes a Beneficiary designation without naming another Beneficiary or designates one or more Beneficiaries, none of whom
survives the Participant or exists at the time in question, will be paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse or, if the Participant is not survived by a spouse, to the representative of the Participant’s estate. 

(iii) The automatic Beneficiaries specified above and, unless the designation otherwise specifies, the Beneficiaries designated by the
Participant, become fixed as of the Participant’s death so that, if a Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the receipt of the payment due such Beneficiary, the payment will be made to the representative of such
Beneficiary’s estate. Any designation of a Beneficiary by name that is accompanied by a description of the relationship or only by a statement of relationship to the Participant is effective only to designate the person or persons standing in
such relationship to the Participant at the Participant’s death. 
 (h) Modification of Time and Manner of Payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, may distribute all balances in the Cash Account or Share Account to the Participant in a lump sum as of any date but only if and to the extent permitted under
Section 409A of the Code. Nothing herein shall be construed to grant a Participant the right to elect a modification of the time or manner for receiving payments hereunder, including on account of termination of the Plan. 

 

	8.	Options. 

 All Options granted by the
Board under the DEIP will be governed by the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Non-Statutory Options. All Options
granted under the DEIP will be non-statutory stock options not entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to date and as may be amended from time to time (the “Code”).

 (b) Option Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under an Option granted under the DEIP will be not
less than 100% of the Market Price on the date of grant of the Option. 
 (c) Exercisability of Options. Each Option
granted under the DEIP will be immediately exercisable, unless the Award notice provides otherwise. 
 (d) Duration of
Options; Effect of Cessation as Director. Except as provided in Section 11, each Option granted under the DEIP will terminate ten years after its Date of Grant. If the Participant ceases to serve as a director on the Board for any reason
other than a Qualified Retirement, then the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of the expiration of five years after the date the Participant ceased to serve as a director of the Company or the remaining term of the Option. If the
Participant ceases to serve as a director on the Board or account of a Qualified Retirement all Options will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable in full until the expiration of the Option. 

(e) Manner of Option Exercise. An Option granted under the DEIP may be exercised by a Participant in whole or in part from time to
time, subject to the conditions contained in the DEIP, by delivering in person, by facsimile or electronic transmission or through the mail notice of exercise to the Company at its principal executive office, and by paying in full the total exercise
price for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with paragraph (f). Such notice will specify the particular Option that is being exercised (by the date of grant and total number of Shares subject to the Option) and the number of Shares with
respect to which the Option is being exercised. 

  
 11 









 (f) Payment of Exercise Price. The total purchase price of the shares to be purchased
upon exercise of an Option granted under the DEIP will be paid entirely in cash (including check, bank draft or money order); provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by the Committee,
may allow such payments to be made, in whole or in part, by tender of a Broker Exercise Notice, by tender, or attestation as to ownership, of Previously Acquired Shares, or by a combination of such methods. For purposes of such payment, Previously
Acquired Shares tendered or covered by an attestation will be valued at the Market Price on the exercise date. 
 (g)
Restrictions on Transfer. 
 (i) Except pursuant to testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as
otherwise expressly permitted by clauses (ii) or (iii) below, no right or interest of any Participant in an Option granted under the DEIP prior to the exercise of such Option will be assignable or transferable, or subjected to any lien,
during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise. 
 (ii) A Participant will be entitled to designate a beneficiary to receive an Option granted under the DEIP upon such Participant’s death, and in the event of a Participant’s death, payment of
any amounts due under the DEIP will be made to, and exercise of any Options (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 15) may be made by, the Participant’s legal representatives, heirs and legatees. 

(iii) A Participant who is a director of the Company will be entitled to transfer all or a portion of an Option granted under the DEIP,
other than for value, to such Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or
sister-in-law, any person sharing such Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which any of the foregoing have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interests, a foundation in which any of the foregoing (or the
Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests. Any permitted transferee will remain subject to all the terms and conditions
applicable to the Participant prior to the transfer. A permitted transfer may be conditioned upon such requirements as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine, including, but not limited to execution and/or delivery of appropriate
acknowledgements, opinion of counsel, or other documents by the transferee. 
 (h) Rights as a Stockholder. No
Participant will have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Option granted under the DEIP until the Participant has exercised such Option, paid the exercise price and become the holder of record of such Shares, and,
except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c), no adjustments will be made for dividends or other distributions or other rights as to which there is a record date preceding the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of such Shares.

  

	9.	Stock Appreciation Rights. 

 A Stock
Appreciation Right may be granted by the Board to the holder of any Option granted hereunder. In addition, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted independently of and without relation to any Option. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to
such terms and conditions consistent with the DEIP as the Board shall impose from time to time including the following: 
 (a) A
Stock Appreciation Right may be granted with respect to an Option at the time of its grant or at any time thereafter. 
 (b)
Each Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the Participant to elect to receive in cash up to 100% of the appreciation in Market Price of the Shares subject thereto up to the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. In the case of a Stock
Appreciation Right issued in relation to an Option, such appreciation will be measured from the Option’s exercise price. In the case of a Stock Appreciation Right issued independently of any Option, the appreciation shall be measured from not
less than the Market Price of a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. 

  
 12 









 (c) The Committee shall have the discretion to satisfy a Participant’s right to receive
the amount of cash as determined in Section 9(b), in whole or in part, by the delivery of Shares valued as of the date of the Participant’s election. 
 (d) In the event a Participant experiences a Separation from Service: 
 (i) by
reason of death or Disability, all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights then held by the Participant will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months after such Separation from Service
(but in no event after the expiration date of any such Stock Appreciation Right); 
 (ii) by reason of a Qualified Retirement,
all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights then held by the Participant will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable in full until the expiration date of any such Stock Appreciation Rights; or 

(iii) for reasons other than death, Disability or Qualified Retirement, all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights then held by the
Participant will, to the extent exercisable as of the date of Separation from Service, remain exercisable in full for a period of three (3) months after such Separation from Service (but in no event after the expiration date of any such Stock
Appreciation Right); and Stock Appreciation Rights not exercisable as of such Separation from Service will terminate and be forfeited. 
  

	10.	Restricted Stock. 

 The Board may grant a
Periodic Award of Restricted Stock to Participants with the following terms and conditions. 
 (a) During the Restricted Period
(as defined in paragraph (b)), a Participant shall not sell, assign, exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Restricted Stock. Upon grant of the Award of Restricted Stock, however, Participant shall
thereupon be a stockholder with respect to all Shares subject to the Award and shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote such Shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions.

 (b) The term “Restricted Period” shall mean any period as set by the Board, not to exceed ten years, ending upon
such conditions as the Board may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, achievement of certain goals and/or that the Participant has remained in continuous service as a member of the Board of the Company for a certain period. 

(c) To enforce the restrictions referred to in this Section 10, the Board may place a legend on the stock certificates for the
Shares referring to such restrictions and may require the Participant, until the restrictions have lapsed, to keep the stock certificates, together with duly endorsed stock powers, in the custody of the Company or its transfer agent, or to maintain
evidence of stock ownership, together with duly endorsed stock powers, in a certificateless book-entry stock account with the Company’s transfer agent. 
 (d) In the event a Participant experiences a Separation from Service: 
 (i) by
reason of death, Disability or Qualified Retirement, all Restricted Stock then held by the Participant will become fully vested; or 
 (ii) for reasons other than death, Disability or Qualified Retirement, all Restricted Stock then held by Participant that has not vested as of such Separation from Service will be terminated and
forfeited. 
  

	11.	Effects of Actions Constituting Cause. 

 (a) Notwithstanding anything in the DEIP to the contrary, if a Participant is determined by the Board, acting in its sole discretion, to have committed any action which would constitute Cause as defined
in Section 2(h), irrespective of whether such action or the Board’s determination occurs before or after such Participant ceases to 

  
 13 









 
serve as a director of the Company, all rights of the Participant under the DEIP attributable to unexercised Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or unvested Share Units, Emergence Awards or
Periodic Awards of Restricted Stock and any agreements or notices evidencing any Share Units, Emergence Awards or Periodic Awards then held by the Participant will terminate and be forfeited without notice of any kind. 

(b) Benefits attributable to amounts credited to a Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 6 which are vested and any
earnings credited with respect to such vested amounts will not be forfeited. 
  

	12.	Change in Control. 

 (a) A
“Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred: 
 (i) there is consummated a merger or consolidation to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party if the merger or consolidation would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof ) less than 50% of the combined voting
power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; 
 (ii) the direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) in the aggregate of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the total combined voting power
of the Company’s then issued and outstanding securities is acquired by any person or entity, or group of associated persons or entities acting in concert; provided, however, that for purposes hereof, the following acquisitions shall not
constitute a Change in Control: (1) any acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust or fiduciary) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation
controlled by the Company, (3) any acquisition by an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, (4) any acquisition by a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the
Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company and (5) any acquisition in connection with a merger or acquisition which, pursuant to paragraph (A) above, does not constitute a Change in Control;

 (iii) there is consummated a transaction contemplated by an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are
owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership in the Company immediately prior to such sale; 
 (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation of the Company; or 
 (v) the occurrence within any 24-month or shorter period of a change in the composition of the Board such that the Continuity Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board.

 (b) Cash Payment. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, then the Board, without the consent of any Participant
affected thereby, may determine to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code (for amounts subject to Section 409A) that some or all Participants holding outstanding Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the DEIP
will receive, with respect to some or all of the Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, as of the effective date of any Change in Control of the Company, cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Market Price of such Shares
immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control of the Company over the exercise price per share of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Any outstanding Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights, in lieu of which a cash
payment is made pursuant to this Section 12(b), shall terminate and be forfeited upon such cash payment. 
 (c)
Acceleration of Vesting. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, then (i) all Options and 

  
 14 









 
Stock Appreciation Rights will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable in accordance with their terms; (ii) all Restricted Stock will become immediately fully
vested and nonforfeitable; and (iii) the Participant’s deferral Accounts will become immediately fully vested and non-forfeitable. 
 (d) Acceleration of Payment. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, then all deferred amounts credited to a Participant’s Cash Account and Share Account will become immediately due and
payable to the Participant. Any such payments will be made no later than the end of the year in which the Change in Control occurs, or if later, the 15th day of the third month following the Change in Control event. 

 

	13.	Source of Payments; Nature of Interest. 

 (a) Source of Payments. The Company is responsible for paying, from its general assets, any benefits attributable to a Participant’s Account. 

(b) Status of DEIP. Nothing contained in the DEIP is to be construed as providing for assets to be held for the benefit of any
Participant or any other person or persons to whom benefits are to be paid pursuant to the terms of the DEIP, the Participant’s or other person’s only interest under the DEIP being the right to receive the benefits set forth herein. Until
such time as Shares are distributed to a Participant, Beneficiary of a deceased Participant or other person, he or she has no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Share Units credited to a Share Account pursuant to the DEIP. To the extent
that the Participant or any other person acquires a right to receive benefits under the DEIP, such right is no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 

(c) Non-Assignability of Benefits. The benefits payable under the DEIP and the right to receive future benefits under the DEIP may
not be anticipated, alienated, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or subjected to any charge or legal process. 
  

	14.	Securities Law and Other Restrictions. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the DEIP or any agreements entered into pursuant to the DEIP to the contrary, the Company is not required to issue or distribute any Shares under the DEIP, and a
Participant or distributee may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of Shares issued or distributed pursuant to the DEIP, unless (a) there is in effect with respect to such Shares a registration statement under the Securities Act and
any applicable securities laws of a state or foreign jurisdiction or an exemption from such registration under the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws, and (b) there has been obtained any other consent, approval or
permit from any other regulatory body which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable. The Company may condition such issuance, distribution, sale or transfer upon the receipt of any representations or agreements from the
parties involved, and the placement of any legends on certificates representing Shares, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to comply with such securities law or other restrictions. 

 

	15.	Amendment or Termination. 


(a) Amendment. 
 (i) The Company reserves the right to amend the DEIP at any time to any extent that it may deem advisable. To be effective, an amendment must be stated in a written instrument approved in advance or
ratified by the Board and executed in the name of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer or President and attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. 
 (ii) An amendment adopted in accordance with Section 15(a) is binding on all interested parties as of the effective date stated in the amendment; provided, however, that no amendment will have any
retroactive effect so as to deprive any Participant, or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant, of any benefit to which he or she is entitled under the terms of the DEIP in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the amendment,
determined as if such Participant had terminated service as a director immediately prior to the effective date of the amendment. 

  
 15 









 (iii) Without limiting Section 15(a), the Company reserves the right to amend the DEIP
to change the method of determining the earnings credited to Participants’ Accounts pursuant to Section 6(d) and to apply such new method not only with respect to the portion of the Accounts attributable to credits made after the date on
which such amendment is adopted but also with respect to the portion of the Accounts attributable to credits made prior to the date on which such amendment is adopted and regardless of whether such new method would result in materially lower
earnings credits than the old method. 
 (iv) The provisions of the DEIP in effect at the termination of a Participant’s
service as a director will, except as otherwise expressly provided by a subsequent amendment, continue to apply to such Participant. 
 (b) Termination. The Company reserves the right to terminate the DEIP at any time. The DEIP will terminate as of the date specified by the Company in a written instrument by its authorized officers
to the Committee, adopted in the manner of an amendment. Upon the termination of the DEIP, Participant Accounts will continue to be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 7, subject to acceleration of distributions as permitted by
Section 7(h) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). No termination, suspension or amendment of the DEIP may adversely affect any outstanding Periodic Award without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, however,
that this sentence will not impair the right of the Board to take whatever action it deems appropriate under Section 3(c), 8, 9, 10 and 12(b) of the DEIP. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding upon termination of the DEIP may
continue to be exercised in accordance with their terms. 
  

	16.	Administration. 

 (a)
Committee. The general administration of the DEIP and the duty to carry out its provisions will be vested in the Committee or such other Board committee as may be subsequently designated as the Committee by the Board. Such Committee may
delegate such duty or any portion thereof to a named person and may from time to time revoke such authority and delegate it to another person. 
 (b) Plan Rules and Regulations. The Committee has the discretionary power and authority to make such Plan Rules as the Committee determines to be consistent with the terms, and advisable in
connection with the administration, of the DEIP and to modify or rescind any such Plan Rules. In addition, the Committee has the discretionary power and authority to limit or modify application of DEIP provisions and Plan Rules as the Committee
determines to be advisable to facilitate tax deferral treatment (or accommodate the unavailability thereof) for Options granted to, or amounts credited with respect to, non-U.S. resident Participants. 

(c) Discretion. The Committee has the sole discretionary power and authority to make all determinations necessary for
administration of the DEIP, except those determinations that the DEIP requires others to make, and to construe, interpret, apply and enforce the provisions of the DEIP and Plan Rules whenever necessary to carry out its intent and purpose and to
facilitate its administration, including, without limitation, the discretionary power and authority to remedy ambiguities, inconsistencies, omissions and erroneous benefit calculations. In the exercise of its discretionary power and authority, the
Committee will treat all similarly situated persons uniformly. 
 (d) Specialist’s Assistance. The Committee may
retain such actuarial, accounting, legal, clerical and other services as may reasonably be required in the administration of the DEIP, and may pay reasonable compensation for such services. All costs of administering the DEIP will be paid by the
Company. 
 (e) Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each
director, officer and employee of the Company and any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees) of every kind and nature that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against such person at any time by reason of such person’s services in connection with the DEIP, but only if such person did not act dishonestly or in bad faith or in willful violation of the law or regulations under which such liability, loss,
cost or expense arises. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to select counsel and control the defense and settlement of any action for which a person may be entitled to indemnification under this provision. 

  
 16 










	17.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a)
Other Benefits. Neither amounts deferred nor amounts paid pursuant to the DEIP constitute salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any other benefit plan, practice, policy or procedure of the Company unless otherwise
expressly provided thereunder. 
 (b) No Warranties Regarding Treatment. The Company makes no warranties regarding the
tax treatment to any person of any deferrals or payments made pursuant to the DEIP, and each Participant will hold the Committee and the Company and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors harmless from any liability resulting from
any tax position taken in good faith in connection with the DEIP. 
 (c) No Rights to Continued Service Created. Neither
the establishment of or participation in the DEIP gives any individual the right to continued service on the Board or limits the right of the Company or its stockholders to terminate or modify the terms and conditions of service of such individual
on the Board or otherwise deal with any individual without regard to the effect that such action might have on him or her with respect to the DEIP. 
 (d) Successors. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the DEIP, all obligations of the Company under the DEIP are binding on any successor to the Company whether the successor is the result of
a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise of all of the business and/or assets of the Company. 
 (e)
Governing Law. Questions pertaining to the construction, validity, effect and enforcement of the DEIP will be determined in accordance with the internal, substantive laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws rules
of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction. 
 (f) Headings. The headings of sections are included solely for
convenience of reference; if there exists any conflict between such headings and the text of the DEIP, the text will control. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has duly executed this DEIP effective as of the date first written above.
