 12 









 § 5. 

COMMITTEE 
 This
Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion shall exercise such powers and take such action as expressly called for under this Plan and, further, the Committee shall have the power to interpret this
Plan and (subject to § 14 and § 15 and Rule 16b-3) to take such other action in the administration and operation of this Plan as the Committee deems equitable under the circumstances, which action shall be binding on the Company,
on each affected Key Employee or Director and on each other person directly or indirectly affected by such action. Furthermore, the Committee as a condition to making any grant under this Plan to any Key Employee or Director shall have the right to
require him or her to execute an agreement which makes the Key Employee or Director subject to non-competition provisions and other restrictive covenants which run in favor of the Company. 

§ 6. 

ELIGIBILITY 

Only Key Employees who are employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Parent shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs under this Plan. All
Key Employees and all Directors shall be eligible for the grant of Non-ISOs and Stock Appreciation Rights and for Stock Grants under this Plan. 

§ 7. 

OPTIONS 
 7.1
Committee Action. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion shall have the right to grant Options to Key Employees and to Directors under this Plan 

 

 13 









 
from time to time to purchase shares of Stock, and Options may be granted for any reason the Committee deems appropriate, including as a substitute for compensation otherwise payable in cash.

 7.2 Option Certificate. Each grant of an Option shall be evidenced by an Option Certificate, and each Option
Certificate shall set forth whether the Option is an ISO or a Non-ISO and shall set forth such other terms and conditions of such grant as the Committee acting in its absolute discretion deems consistent with the terms of this Plan; however,
(a) if the Committee grants an ISO and a Non-ISO to a Key Employee on the same date, the right of the Key Employee to exercise the ISO shall not be conditioned on his or her failure to exercise the Non-ISO and (b) no Option Certificate
shall provide for the automatic grant of any new Option upon the exercise of an Option subject to such Option Certificate. 

7.3 $100,000 Limit. No Option shall be treated as an ISO to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Stock subject
to the Option which would first become exercisable in any calendar year exceeds $100,000. Any such excess shall instead automatically be treated as a Non-ISO. The Committee shall interpret and administer the ISO limitation set forth in this
§ 7.3 in accordance with § 422(d) of the Code, and the Committee shall treat this § 7.3 as in effect only for those periods for which § 422(d) of the Code is in effect. 

7.4 Option Price. The Option Price for each share of Stock subject to an Option shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, if the Option is an ISO granted to a Key Employee who is a Ten Percent Shareholder, the Option Price for each share of Stock

  

 14 









 
subject to such ISO shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date such ISO is granted. The Committee shall not (except in accordance with § 13 and
§ 14) take any action absent the approval of the Company’s shareholders (whether through an amendment, a cancellation, making replacement grants or exchanges or any other means) to directly or indirectly reduce the Option Price of any
outstanding Option or to make a tender offer for any Option if the Option Price for such Option on the effective date of such tender offer exceeds the then Fair Market Value of a share of Stock subject to such Option. 

7.5 Payment. The Option Price shall be payable in full upon the exercise of any Option and, at the discretion of the Committee, an
Option Certificate can provide for the payment of the Option Price either in cash, by check, in Stock or through any cashless exercise procedure which is acceptable to the Committee, including a Net Option Exercise, or in any combination of such
forms of payment. Any payment made in Stock shall be treated as equal to the Fair Market Value of such Stock on the date action acceptable to the Committee is taken to tender such Stock to the Committee or its delegate. 

7.6 Exercise. 
  

	 	(a)	Vesting. The Committee may condition the right to exercise an Option on the satisfaction of a service requirement or a performance requirement or on the
satisfaction of more than one such requirement or the satisfaction of any combination of such requirements or may grant an Option which is not subject to any such requirements, all as determined by the Committee in its discretion and as set forth in
the related Option Certificate. 

  

 15 










	 	(b)	Exercise Period. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part to the extent vested at such time or times as set forth in the
related Option Certificate, but no Option Certificate shall make an Option exercisable on or after the earlier of 

  

	 	(1)	the date which is the fifth anniversary of the date the Option is granted, if the Option is an ISO and the Key Employee is a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date the
Option is granted, or 

  

	 	(2)	the date which is the tenth anniversary of the date the Option is granted, if the Option is (a) a Non-ISO or (b) an ISO which is granted to a Key Employee who
is not a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date the Option is granted. 

  

	 	(c)	Termination of Status as Key Employee or Director. Subject to § 7.6(a), an Option Certificate may provide for the exercise of an Option after a Key
Employee’s or a Director’s status as such has terminated for any reason whatsoever, including death or disability. 

  

 16 









 § 8 

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

8.1 Committee Action. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion shall have the right to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to
Key Employees and to Directors under this Plan from time to time, and each Stock Appreciation Right grant shall be evidenced by a Stock Appreciation Right Certificate or, if such Stock Appreciation Right is granted as part of an Option, shall be
evidenced by the Option Certificate for the related Option. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted for any reason the Committee deems appropriate, including as a substitute for compensation otherwise payable in cash. The Committee shall not
(except in accordance with § 13 and § 14) take any action absent the approval of the Company’s shareholders (whether through an amendment, a cancellation, making replacement grants or exchanges or any other means) to
directly or indirectly reduce the SAR Value of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right or to make a tender offer for any Stock Appreciation Right if the SAR Value for such Stock Appreciation Right on the effective date of such tender offer exceeds
the then Fair Market Value of a share of Stock with respect to which the appreciation in such Stock Appreciation Right is based. 

8.2 Terms and Conditions. 
  

	 	(a)	 Stock Appreciation Right Certificate. If a Stock Appreciation Right is granted independent of an Option, such Stock Appreciation Right shall be
evidenced by a Stock Appreciation Right Certificate, and such certificate shall set forth the number of shares of Stock on which the Key 



 

 17 










	 	
Employee’s or Director’s right to appreciation shall be based and the SAR Value of each share of Stock. The SAR Value shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. The Stock Appreciation Right Certificate shall set forth such other terms and conditions for the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right as the Committee deems appropriate under the circumstances,
but no Stock Appreciation Right Certificate shall make a Stock Appreciation Right exercisable on or after the date which is the tenth anniversary of the date such Stock Appreciation Right is granted. 


 

	 	(b)	 Option Certificate. If a Stock Appreciation Right is granted together with an Option, such Stock Appreciation Right shall be evidenced by the
related Option Certificate, the number of shares of Stock on which the Key Employee’s or Director’s right to appreciation is based shall be no more than the number of shares of Stock subject to the related Option, and the SAR Value for
each such share of Stock shall be no less than the Option Price under the related Option. Each such Option Certificate shall provide that the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right with respect to any share of Stock shall cancel the Key
Employee’s or Director’s right to exercise his or her Option with respect to such share 



 

 18 










	 	
and, conversely, that the exercise of the Option with respect to any share of Stock shall cancel the Key Employee’s or Director’s right to exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right
with respect to such share. A Stock Appreciation Right which is granted as part of an Option shall be exercisable only while the related Option is exercisable. The Option Certificate shall set forth such other terms and conditions for the exercise
of the Stock Appreciation Right as the Committee deems appropriate under the circumstances. 

  

	 	(c)	Vesting. The Committee may condition the right to exercise a Stock Appreciation Right on the satisfaction of a service requirement or a performance requirement
or on the satisfaction of more than one such requirement or the satisfaction of any combination of such requirements or may grant a Stock Appreciation Right which is not subject to any such requirements, all as determined by the Committee in its
discretion and as set forth in the related Stock Appreciation Right Certificate. 

 8.3 Exercise. A Stock
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable to the extent vested only when the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on which the right to appreciation is based exceeds the SAR Value for such share, and the payment, if any, due on exercise shall be
based on such excess with respect to the number of shares of Stock to which the exercise relates. A Key Employee or Director upon the exercise of 

 

 19 









 
his or her Stock Appreciation Right shall receive a payment from the Company in cash or in Stock issued under this Plan, or in a combination of cash and Stock, and the number of shares of Stock
issued shall be based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion shall have the right to determine the form and time of any payment under this
§ 8.3. 
 § 9. 

STOCK GRANTS 

9.1 Committee Action. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion shall have the right to make Stock Grants to Key Employees
and to Directors, and Stock Grants may be made for any reason the Committee deems appropriate, including as a substitute for compensation otherwise payable in cash. No Stock Grant shall provide for a cash payment to a Key Employee or a Director. A
Stock Grant at the discretion of the Committee may provide for a contractual right to the issuance of Stock to a Key Employee or Director only after the satisfaction of specific employment or performance or other terms and conditions set by the
Committee or may provide for the issuance of Stock to a Key Employee or Director at the time the grant is made, and any Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Grant may be issued subject to the satisfaction of specific employment or performance or other
vesting terms and conditions which, if not satisfied, will result in the forfeiture of the Stock issued to the Key Employee or Director. Each Stock Grant shall be evidenced by a Stock Grant Certificate, and each Stock Grant Certificate shall set
forth the terms and conditions, if any, under which Stock will be issued under the Stock Grant and the terms and conditions, if any, under which the Key Employee’s or Director’s interest in any Stock which has been so issued will become
vested and non-forfeitable. 
  

 20 









 9.2 Conditions. 

 

	 	(a)	Conditions to Issuance of Stock under a Stock Grant. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion may make the issuance of Stock pursuant to a Stock Grant
subject to the satisfaction of one, or more than one, employment, performance or other term or condition which the Committee deems appropriate under the circumstances for Key Employees or Directors generally or for a Key Employee or a Director in
particular, and the related Stock Grant Certificate shall set forth each such term or condition and the deadline for satisfying each such term or condition. Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Grant shall be issued in the name of a Key Employee or
Director under § 9.2(b) only after each such term or condition, if any, has been timely satisfied, and any Stock which is so issued shall be held by the Company pending the satisfaction of the related vesting terms and conditions, if any,
under § 9.2(b) for the Stock Grant. 

  

	 	(b)	 Conditions Vesting with respect to Stock Issued. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion may make any Stock issued in the name of a Key
Employee or Director pursuant to a Stock Grant subject to the satisfaction of one, 


  

 21 










	 	
or more than one, objective employment, performance or other vesting term or condition that the Committee acting in its absolute discretion deems appropriate under the circumstances for Key
Employees or Directors generally or for a Key Employee or a Director in particular, and the related Stock Grant Certificate shall set forth each such vesting term or condition, if any, and the deadline, if any, for satisfying each such vesting term
or condition. A Key Employee’s or a Director’s vested and non-forfeitable interest in the shares of Stock underlying a Stock Grant shall depend on the extent to which he or she timely satisfies each such vesting term or condition. If a
share of Stock is issued under this § 9.2(b) before a Key Employee’s or Director’s interest in such share of Stock vested and is non-forfeitable, the Company shall have the right to condition any such issuance on the Key Employee
or Director first signing an irrevocable stock power in favor of the Company with respect to the forfeitable shares of Stock issued to such Key Employee or Director in order for the Company to effect any forfeiture called for under the related Stock
Grant Certificate. 

 9.3 Dividends, Creditor Status and Voting Rights. 

 

	 	(a)	 Cash Dividends. If a dividend is paid in cash with respect to a share of Stock after such share of Stock has been issued



  

 22 










	 	
under a Stock Grant but before the first date that a Key Employee’s or a Director’s interest in such share of Stock becomes completely non-forfeitable, the Company shall delay the
payment of such cash dividend until his or her interest in such share of Stock becomes completely non-forfeitable and then shall pay such cash dividend (without interest) directly to such Key Employee or Director before the end of the 45 day period
which starts on the date his or her interest in such share of Stock becomes completely non-forfeitable. Neither a Key Employee nor a Director shall have the right to assign his or her claim to the payment of a dividend under this § 9.3(a),
and any Key Employee’s claim or Director’s claim to any such payment shall be no different than the claim of a general and unsecured creditor of the Company to a payment related to his or her compensation due from the Company. Finally, if
a Key Employee or Director forfeits his or her interest in a share of Stock, he or she shall forfeit any right to the payment of any cash dividend with respect to such share of Stock. 


 

	 	(b)	 Stock Dividends. If a dividend is paid on a share of Stock in Stock or other property after such share of Stock has been issued under a Stock
Grant but before the first date that a Key Employee’s or a Director’s interest in such share of 


  


 23 










	 	
Stock (1) is forfeited completely or (2) becomes completely non-forfeitable, the Company shall hold such dividend subject to the same forfeiture conditions under § 9.2(b) as
applicable to the related Stock Grant. Neither a Key Employee nor a Director shall have the right to assign his or her claim to the payment of a dividend under this § 9.3(b), and any Key Employee’s claim or Director’s claim to
any such payment shall be no different than the claim of a general and unsecured creditor of the Company to a payment related to his or her compensation due from the Company. Finally, if a Key Employee or a Director forfeits his or her interest in a
share of Stock, he or she shall forfeit any right to any dividend described in this § 9.3(b) with respect to such share of Stock. 

  

	 	(c)	Voting. Except as otherwise set forth in a Stock Grant Certificate, a Key Employee or a Director shall have the right to vote the Stock issued under his or her
Stock Grant during the period which comes after such Stock has been issued but before the first date that a Key Employee’s or Director’s interest in such Stock (1) is forfeited completely or (2) becomes completely non-forfeitable
subject to the same rules as applicable to any other person who is issued shares of Stock on such date. 

  

 24 









 9.4 Satisfaction of Forfeiture Conditions . A share of Stock shall cease to be
subject to a Stock Grant at such time as a Key Employee’s or a Director’s interest in such Stock becomes vested and non-forfeitable under this Plan, and the certificate or other evidence of ownership representing such share shall be
transferred to the Key Employee or Director as soon as practicable thereafter. 
 9.5 Performance Goals for Income Tax
Deduction. 
  

	 	(a)	General. The Committee shall (where the Committee under the circumstances deems in the Company’s best interest) either (1) make Stock Grants to Key
Employees subject to a condition related to one, or more than one, performance goal based on the performance goals described in § 9.5(b) which seems likely to result in the Stock Grant qualifying as “performance-based
compensation” under § 162(m) of the Code or (2) make Stock Grants to Key Employees under such other circumstances as the Committee deems likely to result in an income tax deduction for the Company with respect to such Stock
Grant. 

  

	 	(b)	 Performance Goals. A performance goal is described in this § 9.5(b) if such goal relates to (1) the Company’s return over
capital costs or increases in return over capital costs, (2) the Company’s total earnings or the growth in such earnings, (3) the Company’s consolidated earnings or the growth in such earnings, (4) the Company’s
earnings per share or the 


  

 25 










	 	
growth in such earnings, (5) the Company’s net earnings or the growth in such earnings, (6) the Company’s earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization
and other non-cash items or the growth in such earnings, (7) the Company’s earnings before interest and taxes or the growth in such earnings, (8) the Company’s consolidated net income or the growth in such income, (9) the
value of the Company’s stock or the growth in such value, (10) the Company’s stock price or the growth in such price, (11) the Company’s return on assets or the growth on such return, (12) the Company’s cash flow
or the growth in such cash flow, (13) the Company’s total shareholder return or the growth in such return, (14) the Company’s expenses or the reduction of such expenses, (15) the Company’s sales growth, (16) the
Company’s overhead ratios or changes in such ratios, (17) the Company’s expense-to-sales ratios or the changes in such ratios, or (18) the Company’s economic value added or changes in such value added, (19) the
Company’s gross margin or the growth in such gross margin, or (20) the Company’s bad debt expense or the reduction in such bad debt expense. 


 

	 	(c)	 Alternative Goals. The Committee shall set the performance goal or goals under this § 9.5, and no goal shall be treated



  

 26 










	 	
as satisfied under this § 9.5 until the Committee certifies (in a manner which meets the requirements of § 162(m)) that such goal has been satisfied. A performance goal may be
set in any manner determined by the Committee, including looking to achievement on an absolute or relative basis in relation to peer groups or indexes, and the Committee may set more than one goal. No change may be made to a performance goal after
the goal has been set. However, the Committee may express any goal in terms of alternatives, or a range of alternatives, as the Committee deems appropriate under the circumstances, such as including or excluding (1) any acquisitions or
dispositions, restructuring, discontinued operations, extraordinary items and other unusual or non-recurring charges, (2) any event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the
Company’s management or (3) the effects of tax or accounting changes. 

 § 10. 

NON-TRANSFERABILITY 

No Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Grant shall (absent the Committee’s express, written consent) be transferable by a Key
Employee or a Director other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall (absent the Committee’s express, written consent) be

  

 27 









 
exercisable during a Key Employee’s or Director’s lifetime only by the Key Employee or Director. The person or persons to whom an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Grant is
transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution (or with the Committee’s express, written consent) thereafter shall be treated as the Key Employee or Director. 

§ 11. 

SECURITIES REGISTRATION 

As a condition to the receipt of shares of Stock under this Plan, the Key Employee or Director shall, if so requested by the Company,
agree to hold such shares of Stock for investment and not with a view of resale or distribution to the public and, if so requested by the Company, shall deliver to the Company a written statement satisfactory to the Company to that effect.
Furthermore, if so requested by the Company, the Key Employee or Director shall make a written representation to the Company that he or she will not sell or offer for sale any of such Stock unless a registration statement shall be in effect with
respect to such Stock under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities law or he or she shall have furnished to the Company an opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Company of legal counsel satisfactory to the Company that such
registration is not required. Certificates or other evidence of ownership representing the Stock transferred upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the lapse of the forfeiture conditions, if any, on any Stock Grant may at
the discretion of the Company bear a legend to the effect that such Stock has not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities law and that such Stock cannot be sold or offered for sale in the

  

 28 









 
absence of an effective registration statement as to such Stock under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities law or an opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Company of legal
counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required. 
 § 12. 

LIFE OF PLAN 

No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be granted or Stock Grant made under this Plan on or after the earlier of: 

 

	 	(1)	the tenth anniversary of the effective date of this Plan (as determined under § 4), in which event this Plan otherwise thereafter shall continue in effect
until all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised in full or no longer are exercisable and all Stock issued under any Stock Grants under this Plan have been forfeited or have become non-forfeitable, or


  

	 	(2)	the date on which all of the Stock reserved under § 3 has (as a result of the exercise of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan or the
satisfaction of the vesting terms and conditions, if any, with respect to Stock Grants) been issued or no longer is available for use under this Plan, in which event this Plan also shall terminate on such date. 


 

 29 









 § 13. 

ADJUSTMENT 

13.1 Capital Structure. The grant limits described in § 3.5, the number, kind or class (or any combination thereof) of shares
of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan and the Option Price of such Options and the SAR Value of such Stock Appreciation Rights as well as the number, kind or class (or any combination thereof)
of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Stock Grants made under this Plan shall be adjusted by the Committee in a reasonable and equitable manner to preserve immediately after 

 

	 	(a)	any equity restructuring or change in the capitalization of the Company, including, but not limited to, spin offs, stock dividends, large non-reoccurring cash or stock
dividends, rights offerings or stock splits, or 

  

	 	(b)	any other transaction described in § 424(a) of the Code which does not constitute a Change in Control of the Company 


the aggregate intrinsic value of each such outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right and Stock Grant immediately before such restructuring or
recapitalization or other transaction. 
 13.2 Shares Reserved. If any adjustment is made with respect to any outstanding
Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Grant under § 13.1, then the Committee shall adjust the number, kind or class (or any combination thereof) of shares of Stock reserved under § 3.1. The Committee shall have the discretion
to limit such 
  

 30 









 
adjustment to account only for the number, kind and class of shares of Stock subject to each such Option, Stock Appreciation Right and Stock Grant as adjusted under § 13.1 or to further
adjust such number, kind or class (or any combination thereof) of shares of Stock reserved under § 3.1 to account for a reduction in the total number of shares of Stock then reserved under § 3.1 which would result from the events
described in § 13.1(a) and § 13.1(b) if no action was taken by the Committee under this § 13.2. The Committee may make any adjustment provided for in this § 13.2 without seeking the approval of the
Company’s shareholders for such adjustment unless the Committee acting on the advice of counsel determined that such approval is required under applicable law or the rules of the stock exchange on which shares of Stock are traded. 

13.3 Transactions Described in § 424 of the Code. If there is a corporate transaction described in § 424(a) of
the Code which does not constitute a Change in Control of the Company, the Committee as part of any such transaction shall have right to make Stock Grants and Option and Stock Appreciation Right grants (without regard to any limitations set forth
under § 3.5 of this Plan) to effect the assumption of, or the substitution for, outstanding stock grants and option and stock appreciation right grants previously made by any other corporation to the extent that such corporate transaction
calls for such substitution or assumption of such outstanding stock grants and stock option and stock appreciation right grants. Furthermore, if the Committee makes any such grants as part of any such transaction, the Committee shall have the right
to increase the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under § 3.1 by the number of shares of Stock subject to such grants without seeking the approval of the Company’s shareholders for such adjustment unless such approval
is required under applicable law or the rules of the stock exchange on which shares of Stock are traded. 
  

 31 









 13.4 Fractional Shares. If any adjustment under this § 13 would create a
fractional share of Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Stock under any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Grant, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Stock reserved under this Plan and the
number subject to any Options, Stock Appreciation Right grants and Stock Grants shall be the next lower number of shares of Stock, rounding all fractions downward. An adjustment made under this § 13 by the Committee shall be conclusive and
binding on all affected persons. 
 § 14. 

CHANGE IN CONTROL 

14.1 No Continuation or Assumption of Plan or Grants/Terms of Certificate. 

 

	 	(a)	 Application. This § 14.1 applies only if (i) there is a Change in Control and all of the outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights and Stock Grants granted under this Plan are not continued in full force and effect or there is no assumption or substitution of the Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Stock Grants (with their terms and conditions unchanged) granted under
this Plan in connection with such Change in Control, or (ii) the terms of an Option Certificate, Stock Appreciation Right Certificate or Stock 



 

 32 










	 	
Grant Certificate expressly provide that this § 14.1 applies to the grant made under such certificate even if there is such a continuation, assumption, or substitution of such grant or
this Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Full Vesting. Under this § 14.1, if there is a Change in Control of the Company, then the Board shall have the right to deem at the time of such Change
in Control any and all terms and conditions to the exercise of all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights on such date and any and all outstanding issuance and vesting conditions under any Stock Grants on such date to be 100% satisfied as
of such date, and the Board shall have the right (to the extent expressly required as part of such transaction) to cancel such Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Stock Grants after providing each Key Employee and Director a reasonable period to
exercise his or her Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and to take such other action as necessary or appropriate to receive the Stock subject to any Stock Grants. 


14.2 Continuation or Assumption of Plan or Grants. This § 14.2 applies to an Option Certificate, Stock Appreciation
Right Certificate or Stock Grant Certificate if a Change in Control is not covered by § 14.1(a)(i) and such Certificate is not described in § 14.1(a)(ii). If this § 14.2 applies and if (a) a Key Employee’s
employment with the 
  

 33 









 
Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any Parent of the Company, or any Affiliate of the Company is terminated at the Company’s initiative for reasons other than Cause or is terminated at
the Key Employee’s initiative for Good Reason within the Protection Period or (b) a Director’s service on the Board terminates for any reason within the two-year period starting on the date of such Change in Control, then any
conditions to the exercise of such Key Employee’s or Director’s outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and any then outstanding issuance and forfeiture conditions on such Key Employee’s or Director’s Stock Grant
automatically shall expire and shall have no further force or effect on or after the date his or her employment or service so terminates. 

§ 15. 

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION 

This Plan may be amended by the Board from time to time to the extent that the Board deems necessary or appropriate; provided, however,
(a) no amendment shall be made absent the approval of the shareholders of the Company to the extent such approval is required under applicable law or the rules of the stock exchange on which shares of Stock are listed and (b) no amendment
shall be made to § 14 on or after the date of any Change in Control which might adversely affect any rights which otherwise would vest on the date of such Change in Control. The Board also may suspend granting Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights or making Stock Grants under this Plan at any time and may terminate this Plan at any time; provided, however, the Board shall not have the right in connection with any such suspension or termination to unilaterally to modify, amend or cancel
any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted 
  

 34 









 
or Stock Grant unless (1) the Key Employee or Director consents in writing to such modification, amendment or cancellation or (2) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company or
a transaction described in § 14. 
 § 16. 

MISCELLANEOUS 

16.1 Shareholder Rights. No Key Employee or Director shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company as a result of the
grant of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right pending the actual delivery of the Stock subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right to such Key Employee or Director. A Key Employee’s or a Director’s rights as a shareholder in the
shares of Stock which remain subject to forfeiture under § 9.2(b) shall be set forth in the related Stock Grant Certificate. 

16.2 No Contract of Employment. The grant of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right or a Stock Grant to a Key Employee or
Director under this Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment or a right to continue to serve on the Board and shall not confer on a Key Employee or Director any rights upon his or her termination of employment or service in addition to
those rights, if any, expressly set forth in this Plan or the related Option Certificate, Stock Appreciation Right Certificate or Stock Grant Certificate. 

16.3 Tax Withholding. Each Option, Stock Appreciation Right and Stock Grant shall be made subject to the condition that the Key
Employee or Director consents to whatever action the Committee directs to satisfy the federal and state tax withholding requirements, if any, which the Company determines are applicable to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or
to the satisfaction of any vesting 
  

 35 









 
conditions with respect to Stock subject to a Stock Grant issued in the name of the Key Employee or Director. No tax withholding shall be effected under this Plan which exceeds the federal and
state tax withholding requirements. 
 16.4 Construction. All references to sections (§) are to sections
(§) of this Plan unless otherwise indicated. This Plan shall be construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each term set forth in § 2 shall, unless otherwise stated, have the meaning set forth opposite such term for
purposes of this Plan and, for purposes of such definitions, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Finally, if there is any conflict between the terms of this Plan and the terms of any Option Certificate,
Stock Appreciation Right Certificate or Stock Grant Certificate, the terms of this Plan shall control. 
 16.5 Other
Conditions. Each Option Certificate, Stock Appreciation Right Certificate or Stock Grant Certificate may require that a Key Employee or a Director (as a condition to the exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right or the issuance of
Stock subject to a Stock Grant) enter into any agreement or make such representations prepared by the Company, including (without limitation) any agreement which restricts the transfer of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option or a
Stock Appreciation Right or Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Grant or provides for the repurchase of such Stock by the Company. 

16.6 Rule 16b-3. The Committee shall have the right to amend any Option or Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Grant to withhold or
otherwise restrict the transfer of any Stock or cash under this Plan to a Key Employee or Director as the Committee deems appropriate in order to satisfy any condition or requirement under Rule 16b-3 to the extent Rule 16 of the 1934 Act might be
applicable to such grant or transfer. 
  

 36 









 16.7 Coordination with Employment Agreements and Other Agreements. If the Company
enters into an employment agreement or other agreement with a Key Employee or Director which expressly provides for the acceleration in vesting of an outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Grant or for the extension of the deadline to
exercise any rights under an outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Grant, any such acceleration or extension shall be deemed effected pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of such outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right
or Stock Grant and this Plan even if such employment agreement or other agreement is first effective after the date the outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right was granted or the Stock Grant was made. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute this Plan to evidence its adoption of this Plan.
