	1.	Grant of Option. 

 1.1
Effective as of the Grant Date, for good and valuable consideration, the Company hereby irrevocably grants to the Optionee the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of the Shares, subject to, and in accordance with,
the terms and conditions set forth in this Option Agreement. 
 1.2 The Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 
 1.3 This Option Agreement shall be construed in accordance and
consistent with, and subject to, the terms of the Plan (the provisions of which are incorporated hereby by reference); and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the capitalized terms used in this Option Agreement shall have the same
definitions as set forth in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between one or more of this Option Agreement, the Award Letter and the Plan, the Plan shall govern this Option Agreement and the Award Letter, and the Option Agreement (to the extent
not in conflict with the Plan) shall govern the Award Letter. 
  

	2.	Exercise Price. 

 The
price at which the Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the Shares upon the exercise of the Option shall be the Exercise Price per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9. 

 

	3.	Duration of Option. 

 The
Option shall be exercisable to the extent and in the manner provided herein for a period of ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Exercise Term”); provided, however, that the Option may be earlier terminated as
provided in Section 6 hereof. 
  

	4.	Exercisability of Option. 

 4.1 Subject to Section 4.2, and unless otherwise provided in this Option Agreement or the Plan, the Option shall entitle the Optionee to purchase, in whole at any time or in part from time to time,
one-third (1/3rd) of the total number of Shares
covered by the Option on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional one-third (1/3rd) of the total number of Shares covered by the Option on the second anniversary of the Grant Date and the final one-third (1/3rd) of the total number of Shares covered by the Option on the expiration of the third anniversary of the Grant
Date. Each such right of purchase shall be cumulative and shall continue, unless sooner exercised or terminated as herein provided, during the remaining period of the Exercise Term. Any fractional number of shares resulting from the application of
the foregoing percentages shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of Shares (not to exceed the total number of Shares granted as provided in Section 1.1). 

  
 - 2 -









 4.2 No right of purchase in respect of the Option shall become exercisable by virtue of
Section 4.1 prior to the Determination Date. As promptly as practicable following December 31, 2013, the Committee shall determine, subject to Section 4.3, whether the following conditions have been satisfied (the “Performance
Conditions”): (a) the Company’s Diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2013 is at least $7.01; and (b) the Company’s Free Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2013 is at least $876 million (the date of
such determinations being referred to herein as the “Determination Date”). In the event that (i) the Committee determines that only one of the two Performance Conditions shall have been satisfied as of the Determination Date and
(ii) the Option shall not have become fully exercisable prior to the Determination Date under Section 6 or 10, then the number of Shares subject to the Option shall be automatically reduced by 50% (rounded to the nearest whole Share). In
the event that (1) the Committee determines that none of the Performance Conditions shall have been satisfied as of the Determination Date and (2) the Option shall not have become fully exercisable prior to the Determination Date under
Section 6 or 10, then Optionee’s right to exercise all or any portion of the Option shall automatically be terminated, and all of Optionee’s rights hereunder shall cease. 

4.3 In the event of an equity restructuring, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification
718-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123R), the Committee shall adjust any Performance Conditions affected by such restructuring so as to preserve (without enlarging) the likelihood that such Performance Conditions
shall be satisfied, with the manner of such adjustment to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
  

	5.	Manner of Exercise and Payment. 

 5.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and the Plan, the Option may be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee), at its
principal executive office. Such notice shall state that the Optionee or other authorized person is electing to exercise the Option and the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed by the person or
persons exercising the Option. In the event the Company has designated an Award Administrator (as defined below), the Option may also be exercised by giving notice (including through electronic means) in accordance with the procedures established
from time to time by the Award Administrator. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part, provided that partial exercise shall be for whole shares of Common Stock
only. If requested by the Committee, such person or persons shall (i) deliver this Agreement (including the Award Letter) to the Secretary of the Company who shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and (ii) provide satisfactory
proof as to the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. 
 5.2 The notice of exercise described in
Section 5.1 shall be accompanied by either (i) payment of the full purchase price for the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and of all applicable Withholding Taxes (as defined in Section 11) pursuant to
Section 11 hereof (such payment to be made in cash, by delivering Shares, by withholding a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable or by any combination thereof) or (ii) instructions from the Optionee to the Company directing the Company
to deliver a specified number of Shares directly to a designated broker or dealer pursuant to a cashless exercise election, in which case the Company must receive, prior to the issuance of the Shares in respect of which the Option is being
exercised, payment of the full purchase price for the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and all applicable Withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 11 hereof (such payment to be made in cash, by delivering Shares, by
withholding a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable or by any combination thereof). The value of any Shares withheld or delivered in satisfaction of the purchase price for the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and/or
Withholding Taxes shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date of such withholding or delivery. In the event that Withholding Taxes are satisfied by withholding a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable in
connection with an exercise of the Option, the Company shall not withhold any Shares in excess of the minimum number of Shares necessary to satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes.

 5.3 Upon receipt of the notice of exercise and any payment or other documentation as may be
necessary pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 relating to the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, the Company shall, subject to the Plan and this Option Agreement, take such action as may be necessary to effect the transfer
to the Optionee of the number of Shares as to which such exercise was effective. 
 5.4 The Optionee shall not be deemed to be
the holder of, or to have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of, Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option until (i) the Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement
and the Optionee shall have paid the full purchase price for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised and any applicable Withholding Taxes and (ii) the Company shall have issued the Shares in connection with such
exercise. 
  

	6.	Termination of Employment. 


6.1 If, prior to the date of the initial vesting of the Option pursuant to Section 4 hereof (the “Initial Vesting Date”),
the Optionee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries shall be terminated for any reason, other than death or permanent disability (as herein defined), the Optionee’s right to exercise the Option shall terminate as of the
effective date of termination (the “Termination Date”) and all rights hereunder shall cease (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan). For purposes hereof, “permanent disability” means
incapacity due to physical or mental illness as a result of which the Optionee becomes eligible for benefits under the applicable long-term disability plan or policy of the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company which is in effect at
the time Optionee became incapacitated. 
 6.2 If the Optionee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries shall be
terminated by reason of death or permanent disability, the Option shall become immediately fully exercisable as to 100% of the Shares subject to the Option, and the Optionee or the executor or administrator of the estate of the Optionee or the
person or persons to whom the Option shall have been validly transferred by the executor or the administrator pursuant to will or the laws of descent or distribution shall have the right, within one year from the date of the Optionee’s death or
permanent disability, to exercise the Option, subject to any other limitation contained herein on the exercise of the Option in effect at the date of exercise. 
 6.3 If, on or after the Initial Vesting Date, the Optionee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries shall be terminated for any reason other than for Cause or death or permanent disability,
the Optionee shall have the right within three months after the Termination Date (or, if the Optionee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated by reason of a qualified retirement as herein defined, within three years
after the Termination Date) to exercise the Option to the extent that installments thereof shall have been or become exercisable at the Termination Date and shall not have been exercised, subject to any other limitation contained herein on the
exercise of the Option in effect at the date of exercise, and (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan) the Optionee’s right to exercise any installments of the Option that were not exercisable at the
Termination Date (if any) shall terminate as of the Termination Date. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated for Cause, the Option shall terminate as of the Termination Date, whether or not exercisable. For purposes hereof,
“Cause” means the Optionee’s (i) intentional failure to perform reasonably assigned duties, (ii) dishonesty or willful misconduct in the performance of duties, (iii) engaging in a transaction in connection with the
performance of duties to the Company or its subsidiaries which transaction is adverse to the interests of the Company or its subsidiaries and is engaged in for personal profit or (iv) willful violation of any law, rule or regulation in
connection with the performance of duties (other than traffic violations or similar offenses). In addition, “qualified retirement” means the 

  
 - 4 -









 
Optionee (a) terminates employment with the Company and its subsidiaries other than for Cause (and is not subject to termination for Cause at the time of such termination) more than one year
after the Grant Date, (b) is available for consultation with the Company or any of its subsidiaries at the reasonable request of the Company or one of its subsidiaries and (c) terminates employment on or after attaining age 65 and
completing at least five years of service in the aggregate with the Company and its subsidiaries (which service must be continuous through the date of termination except for a single break in service that does not exceed one year in length).

 6.4 If the Optionee shall die within the three-month period (or the three-year period, if applicable) referred to in
Section 6.3 above, the Optionee or the executor or administrator of the estate of the Optionee or the person or persons to whom the Option shall have been validly transferred by the executor or administrator pursuant to will or the laws of
descent and distribution shall have the right, within one year from the date of the Optionee’s death (or, if longer and applicable under Section 6.3 above, within the original three-year period referred to therein), to exercise the Option
to the extent that the Option was exercisable at the date of death, subject to any other limitation contained herein on the exercise of the Option in effect at the date of exercise. 

6.5 The Participant’s rights with respect to the Option shall not be affected by any change in the nature of the Participant’s
employment so long as the Participant continues to be an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Whether (and the circumstances under which) employment has been terminated and the determination of the Termination Date for the purposes of
this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee or (with respect to any employee other than an “Executive Officer” as defined under the Plan) its designee (who, at the date of this Agreement, shall be the Company’s Vice President
of Human Resources), whose good faith determination shall be final, binding and conclusive; provided, that such designee may not make any such determination with respect to his or her own employment. 

 

	7.	Nontransferability.  

 The
Option shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion
of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 6.2 or 6.4, be exercised by the Optionee’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the Optionee’s will or under the
then applicable laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	8.	No Right to Continued Employment. 

 Nothing in this Option Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon the Optionee any right to continue employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor shall this
Agreement or the Plan interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the Optionee’s employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, whether or not with Cause. 

 

	9.	Adjustments. 

 In the
event that the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are, from time to time, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the capital stock of the Company or other securities of the Company by reason of a merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination of capital stock, or other similar increase or decrease in the number of shares outstanding without receiving compensation therefor, the Committee shall, in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of Shares or other consideration as to which such Option, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable and the exercise price
therefor. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons. Any such 

  
 - 5 -









 
adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional share which might otherwise become subject to the Option. This paragraph shall also apply with respect to any extraordinary dividend
or other extraordinary distribution in respect of the Common Stock (whether in the form of cash or other property). 
  

	10.	Effect of a Change in Control. 

 10.1 Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, (a) the Option becomes immediately and fully exercisable as to 100% of the
Shares subject to the Option, and (b) upon termination of an Optionee’s employment with the Company, following a Change in Control, the Option shall remain exercisable until one year after termination, but in no event beyond the Exercise
Term. The Company reserves the right to change or modify in any way the definition of Change in Control set forth in this Option Agreement and any such change or modification shall be binding on the Optionee.
