unless the Participant accepts this Stock Agreement by either (i) electronically accepting this Stock Agreement through the Company’s electronic delivery and acceptance process operated by e*Trade or (ii) executing this Stock
Agreement in the space provided below and returning it to the Company not later than the 40th day following the Grant Date.

Directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, in the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated due to death

Participant’s termination of employment shall equal the product of the number of Target Shares granted as of the Grant Date under Section 1(a) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from but excluding the
Grant Date and to and including the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment, and the denominator of which is 1096. For purposes of this Stock Agreement, “Good Reason” and “Cause” have the meanings

	 	(ii)	Other Termination of Employment. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than as provided in

 a. Custody and Availability of Shares. The Company shall hold the shares of
Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement in uncertificated, book-entry form registered in the Participant’s name until the Restricted Stock shall have vested, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 2. Subject to Section 4, if and
to the extent shares of Restricted Stock become vested, the Company shall remove or cause the removal of the restrictions on transfer of such shares arising from this Stock Agreement. Such unrestricted shares shall be made available to the
Participant in uncertificated, book-entry form registered in the Participant’s name. 
 b. Rights as a
Stockholder. During the period that shares of Restricted Stock remain unvested, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock including, but not limited to, the right to
receive dividends paid on the shares of Restricted Stock and the full right to vote such shares. 
 c. Section 83(b)
Election. The Participant is not permitted to make a Section 83(b) election with respect to the Restricted Stock.

 4. Payment of Taxes. If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax
imposed as a result of the issuance of the Restricted Stock, the Participant shall be required to pay such amount to the Company, as provided under Section 9.10 of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant is
responsible for the tax consequences associated with the grant of the Restricted Stock and its vesting. 
 5. Change in Control.
Subject to Section 9.8 of the Plan: 
 (a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Change in
Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) of the Plan in connection with which (i) holders of Shares receive consideration consisting solely of shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (and
disregarding the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares) and (ii) this Stock Agreement is assumed or provision is made for the continuation of this Stock Agreement, then subject to Section 4.3 of the Plan, a number of Shares equal to
the Target Shares shall become fully vested immediately after the Change in Control and the remainder of the Period of Restriction relating to such Restricted Stock shall immediately lapse and there shall be substituted for each Share of Restricted
Stock then subject to this Stock Agreement, the number and class of shares into which each outstanding Share shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to
 Section 2.5(a) or (b) of the Plan, or in the event of a Change in Control
pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) of the Plan as to which

Participant shall receive, within 10 days following the effective date of the Change in Control, a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the number of Target Shares, multiplied by the greater of (i) the highest per Share price
offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place or (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of the Change in Control. 

6. Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Participant agrees to, understands and acknowledges the following: 

a. Confidential Information. The Participant will be furnished, use or otherwise have access to certain Confidential
Information of the Company and/or a Subsidiary. For purposes of this Stock Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of the Company
and/or a Subsidiary that is confidential and proprietary to the Company and/or a Subsidiary, including without limitation, 
 (i) information relating to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including specific customer product
requirements, pricing arrangements, payment terms, customer lists and other similar information; 
 (ii)
inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Company and/or a Subsidiary; 

(iii) the Company’s or Subsidiary’s proprietary programs, processes or software, consisting of, but not limited
to, computer programs in source or object code and all related documentation and training materials, including all upgrades, updates, improvements, derivatives and modifications thereof and including programs and documentation in incomplete stages
of design or research and development; 

  
 3 








 (iv) the subject matter of the Company’s or Subsidiary’s patents,
design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, manuals, operating instructions, training materials, and other industrial property, including such information in incomplete stages of design or research
and development; and 
 (v) other confidential and proprietary information or documents relating to the
Company’s or Subsidiary’s products, business and marketing plans and techniques, sales and distribution networks and any other information or documents which the Company reasonably regards as being confidential. 

The Company and its Subsidiaries devotes significant financial, human and other resources to the development of its products, its customer base and the
general goodwill associated with its business, and the Company and its Subsidiaries diligently maintains the secrecy and confidentiality of their Confidential Information. Each and every component of the Confidential Information is sufficiently
secret to derive economic value from its not being generally known to other persons. While employed by the Company and/or Subsidiary and thereafter, the Participant will hold in the strictest confidence and not use in any manner which is detrimental
to the Company or its Subsidiaries or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information, except as may be required by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Participant’s employment. 

All Company Materials are and will be the sole property of the Company and/or Subsidiary. The Participant agrees that during and after his or her
employment by the Company and/or Subsidiary, the Participant will not remove any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company or a Subsidiary or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company or a
Subsidiary, except as the Participant is required to do so in connection with performing the duties of his or her employment. The Participant further agrees that, immediately upon the termination of his or her employment for any reason, or during
the Participant’s employment if so requested by the Company, the Participant will return all Company Materials and other physical property, and any reproduction thereof, excepting only the Participant’s copy of this Agreement. For purposes
of this Stock Agreement, “Company Materials” means documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Confidential Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the
Company and/or any Subsidiary, whether such documents have been prepared by the Participant or by others. 
 b.
Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Notwithstanding any provision of this Stock Agreement, if at any time prior to the date that is one year after the date of vesting of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock, the Participant directly
or indirectly: 
 (i) breaches or violates Section 6(a) of this Stock Agreement; or 

(ii) employs, recruits or solicits for employment any person who is (or was within six (6) months prior to the
Participant’s employment termination date) an employee of the Company and/or any Subsidiary; or 
 (iii)
accepts employment or engages in a competing business which may require contact, solicitation, interference or diverting of any of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s customers, or that may result in the disclosure, divulging, or other use,
of Confidential Information or Company Materials acquired during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary; or 

  
 4 








 (iv) solicits or encourages any customer, vendor or potential customer or
vendor of the Company with whom the Participant had contact while employed by the Company to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Participant understands that any person or entity that
Participant contacted during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of employment for the purpose of soliciting sales from such person or entity shall be regarded as a “potential customer” of
the Company to whom the Company or a Subsidiary has a protectable proprietary interest; 
 the unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited
automatically on the date the Participant engages in such activity and the Participant shall pay the Company, within five business days of receipt by the Participant of a written demand therefor, an amount in cash determined by multiplying the
number of Shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Stock Agreement which vested within the one-year period described above by the Fair Market Value of a Share, determined as of the date of vesting 

c. Remedies for Violation. 
 (i) Injunctive Action. Participant acknowledges that if he or she violates the terms of this Section 6 the injury that would be suffered by the Company and/or a Subsidiary as a result
of a breach of the provisions of this Stock Agreement (including any provision of Section 6(a) or (b) hereof) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company and/or a Subsidiary for such a breach would be an
inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Company and/or a Subsidiary will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any
provision of this Stock Agreement, and the Company and/or a Subsidiary will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 6 or any
other remedies of the Company or a Subsidiary, if the Participant breaches any of the provisions of Section 6(a) or (b) hereof, the Company will have the right to cancel this Stock Agreement. 

(ii) Attorneys’ Fees; Set-off Right. In addition to the rights available to the Company and its
Subsidiaries under Section 6(c)(i) hereof, if the Participant violates the terms of this Section 6 at any time, the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Participant of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in enforcing the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 6. By accepting this Restricted Stock grant, the Participant hereby consents to a deduction from any
amounts the Company or any Subsidiary owes to the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed to the Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the
Company or any Subsidiary), unless such amount is subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent of any amounts that the Participant owes to the Company under this Section 6. In addition to any injunctive relief sought under
Section 6(c)(i) hereof and whether or not the Company or any Subsidiary elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company or any Subsidiary does not recover by means of set-off the full amount the Participant owes to the Company or
any Subsidiary, calculated as set forth in this Section 6(c)(ii), the Participant agrees to immediately pay the unpaid balance to the Company or any Subsidiary. 

  
 5 








 d. Enforceability of Restrictive Covenants. The scope and duration of the
restrictive covenants contained in this Stock Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate, protectable interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 e. Written Acknowledgement by Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant, as a condition to lapsing any restriction on the Restricted Stock, to
acknowledge in writing that the Participant has not engaged, and is not in the process of engaging, in any of the activities described in this Section 6. 
 7. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 a. No Service or Employment
Rights. No provision of this Stock Agreement or of the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall give the Participant any right to continue in the service or employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, create any inference as to the length of
employment or service of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of the Participant, with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or
benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Subsidiary.

designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the

 Exhibit A 

 

	 	1.	Total Net Sales Performance Goal (Step 1). 

  

																	
	 	  	Below Threshold	 	 	Threshold	 	 	Target	 	 	Maximum	 
	 Compounded Annual Growth Rate of Total Net Sales
	  	 	< 5.00	% 	 	 	5.00	% 	 	 	7.50	% 	 	 	10.00	% 
	 Vested Percentage of Restricted Stock
	  	 	0	% 	 	 	50.00	% 	 	 	100.00	% 	 	 	150.00	% 

 Compounded Annual Growth Rate of Total Net Sales (“CAGR”) equals (A) the quotient obtained by dividing
2014 total net sales of the Company by 2011 total net sales of the Company, (B) raised to the one-third power, minus (C) one. CAGR shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent. For a CAGR between 5.00% and 10.00%,
the Vested Percentage of Restricted Stock shall be interpolated on a straight line basis and rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent. 
 Annual Net Sales Performance Goal: The Participant is eligible for banking of a specified number of shares on an annual basis based upon an implied annual growth rate. Unless the Committee or the Board
otherwise determines in its sole discretion, the implied annual growth target will be the same as the three-year CAGR target of 7.5%. If, as of December 31 of each calendar year commencing December 31, 2012, the implied annual target is
achieved, 1/3 of the number of Target Shares (rounded to the nearest whole Share) shall be banked for further calculations in steps 1 and 2. If the implied annual target for such year is not achieved, then no Shares shall be banked for such year. No
interpolation or pro-ration is applied to the number of Shares if the implied annual target is not achieved and, if the implied annual target is exceeded, no additional Target Shares in respect of such year shall be banked. The sum of the banked
shares in respect of each calendar year, if any, shall be the “Minimum Initial Vested Shares”. 
 As of December 31, 2014, the
greater of either (1) the Minimum Initial Vested Shares or (2) the number of Shares determined under this step 1 pursuant to the first paragraph in this Exhibit A shall be the initial number of Shares of Restricted Stock, if any, that vest
and shall be rounded to the nearest whole Share (the “Initial Vested Shares”). The Vested Percentage of Restricted Stock, as so determined, shall be multiplied by the number of Target Shares to determine the number of Shares under this
step 1. 
 Unless the Committee or the Board otherwise determines in its sole discretion, for purposes of calculating the CAGR (A) net
sales of the Company derived from acquisitions shall be included and (B) divestitures of subsidiaries or businesses of the Company shall not affect the 2011 total net sales of the Company. 

 

	 	2.	Return on Invested Capital Modifier (Step 2). If the number of Initial Vested Shares exceeds zero, then the number of “Vested Shares” shall
equal the product of the Initial Vested Shares multiplied by the Modifier set forth in the following table (rounded to the nearest whole share): 

  

									
	 ROIC
	  	< 13.00%	 	13.00% to < 18.00%	  	18.00% to < 22.00	  	Equal to or greater
than 22.00%
	 Modifier
	  	0.6	 	0.8	  	1.0	  	1.2


  
 9 








 ROIC equals the average of the Annual Fiscal ROIC for 2012, 2013, and 2014. Annual Fiscal ROIC is defined as
net operating profit after tax (“NOPAT”) for the fiscal period divided by Invested Capital where (1) NOPAT equals Operating Income of the Company for the fiscal period multiplied by (1-budgeted tax rate for the fiscal period ) and
(2) Invested Capital equals total assets, less cash and cash equivalents, current and long-term investments and marketable securities, and non-interest-bearing current liabilities, and which is calculated as the average Invested Capital
reflected on five balance sheet dates (the ending balance for the prior fiscal year and the ending balance for all four fiscal quarters. “Operating Income” means the consolidated operating income of the Company for the fiscal year,
adjusted to remove non-recurring charges and for acquisitions as described in this subsection. 
 Unless the Committee or the Board otherwise
determines in its sole discretion, non-recurring charges specifically include such expense items as (i) one-time charges, non-operating charges or expenses incurred that are not under the control of operations management, as ratified by the
Committee or the Board; (ii) restructuring expenses; (iii) exit expenses; (iv) integration expenses; (v) Board of Directors project activities (e.g.: director searches); or (vi) gains or losses on the sale of assets;
(vii) acquired in-process technology or (viii) impairment charges. This list is not exhaustive and is meant to represent examples of the kind of expenses typically excluded from the calculations of income from operations. Unless the
Committee or the Board otherwise determines in its sole discretion, an acquisition shall be included beginning with the first quarter beginning at least six months after the acquisition closes. 

Changes in accounting principles shall be consistently applied.
