interest in the Company by officers and other employees of the Company and its Related Companies. In addition, the Plan is intended to aid the Company and its Related Companies in attracting and retaining employees, to stimulate the efforts of such

 3.    Incentive Awards. 
  
 The Company may grant or award Incentive Awards to those persons meeting the
eligibility requirements in Section 6. 
  
 4.    Administration. 
  
 (a)    The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Board of Directors shall fill vacancies on, and from time to time may remove or add members to, the Committee. The Committee shall act pursuant to a majority
vote or unanimous written consent. 
  
 (b)    The Committee shall determine the employees of the Company and its Related Companies (including officers) to whom, and the time or times at which, Incentive Awards will be granted or awarded; the number of shares
to be subject to each Incentive Award; the duration of each Incentive Award; the time or times within which Options may be exercised; the cancellation of the Incentive Award (with the consent of the holder thereof); and the other terms and
conditions of the grant or award of the Incentive Award, at grant or 
  

 2 








 award or while outstanding, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The provisions and conditions of the Incentive Awards need
not be the same with respect to each employee or with respect to each Incentive Award. 
  
 (c)    The Committee may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, establish such rules, regulations, policies and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the
Plan, and may make determinations and may take such other action in connection with or in relation to the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable. Each determination or other action made or taken pursuant to the Plan, including interpretations of
the Plan and the specific conditions and provisions of the Incentive Awards granted or awarded hereunder by the Committee, shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons including, but without limitation, the Company, its
Related Companies, the Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company, officers and the affected employees of the Company and/or its Related Companies, employees and the respective successors in interest of any of the foregoing. 
  
 (d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
Incentive Award that is not intended to satisfy the conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act or Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Committee may appoint one or more separate committees (any such committee,
a “Subcommittee”) composed of one or more directors of the Company, who unlike the members of the Committee, may be employee directors of the Company. The Committee may delegate to any such Subcommittee(s) the authority to grant Incentive
Awards, to determine all terms of such Incentive Awards and/or to administer the Plan, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Subject to the limitations of the Plan and the limitations of the Committee’s delegation, any such Subcommittee would have
the full authority of the Committee pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Any such Subcommittee shall not, however, grant Incentive Awards on terms more favorable than Incentive Awards granted by the Committee. Actions by any such Subcommittee within
the scope of delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken by the Committee. Any such Subcommittee shall be required to report to the Committee on any actions that the Subcommittee has taken. 
  
 (e)    The Committee may designate the Secretary of the
Company or any other Company employee to assist the Committee in the administration of the Plan, and may grant authority to such persons to execute agreements evidencing Incentive Awards made under the Plan or other documents entered into under the
Plan on behalf of the Committee or the Company. 
  
 5.    Stock. 
  
 The Jacobs
Common Stock to be issued, transferred and/or sold under the Plan shall be made available from authorized and unissued Jacobs Common Stock or from the Company’s treasury shares. The total number of shares of Jacobs Common Stock that may be
issued or transferred under the Plan pursuant to Incentive Awards hereunder may not exceed 5,600,000 shares (subject to adjustment as described below). Such number of shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with this Section 5 and
Section 12. Jacobs Common Stock subject to any unexercised portion of an Option that expires or is canceled, surrendered or terminated for any reason may again be subject to Incentive Awards granted under the Plan. 
  
 6.    Eligibility. 
  
 Incentive Awards may be granted or awarded to employees of the Company and
its Related Companies. 
  
 In no event may Incentive Awards be
granted or awarded to any Employee for more than one million shares in any one calendar year, subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 12 of the Plan. 
  
 7.    Grants of Options. 
  
 Each Option grant shall be evidenced by a written instrument containing such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may
approve. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  

 3 








 (a)    Option Price.    The option price of all ISOs shall
be 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Jacobs Common Stock on the date of grant. The option price of all NQSOs shall be not less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Jacobs Common Stock on the date of grant. 
  
 (b)    Duration of
Options.    The duration of Options shall be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall the duration exceed ten (10) years from the date of its grant. 
  
 (c)    Other Terms and Conditions.    Options may contain such other
provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine appropriate from time to time, including, without limitation, provisions for accelerated vesting of Options, and provisions relating to the termination of
Options for conduct deemed detrimental to the Company and/or its Related Companies; provided, however, that, except in the event of a Change in Control or the Disability or death of the employee, no Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part
for a period of twelve (12) months from the date on which the Option is granted. The grant of an Option to any employee shall not affect in any way the right of the Company and any Related Company to terminate the employment of the holder thereof.

  
 (d)    ISOs.    The Committee, with respect to each grant of an Option to an employee, shall determine whether such Option shall be an ISO, and, upon determining that an Option shall be an ISO,
shall designate it as such in the written instrument evidencing such Option. Each written instrument evidencing an ISO shall contain all terms and conditions required by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If the written
instrument evidencing an Option does not contain a designation that it is an ISO, it shall not be an ISO. 
  
 The Employee to whom an ISO is granted must be eligible to receive an ISO pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

  
 The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined in each instance
on the date on which an ISO is granted) of the Jacobs Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are first exercisable by any employee in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 for such employee. If any Majority-Owned Related Company of the
Company shall adopt a stock option plan under which options constituting ISOs may be granted, the fair market value of the stock on which any such ISOs are granted and the times at which such ISOs will first become exercisable shall be taken into
account in determining the maximum amount of ISOs that may be granted to the employee under this Plan in any calendar year. 
  
 8.    Exercises of Options. 
  
 (a)    An exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part. However, an Option may not be exercised in a manner that will
result in fractional shares of Jacobs Common Stock being issued. 
  
 (b)    All, or any portion, of an exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery to the representative of the Company designated for such purpose by the Committee of all of the following: (i) notice of
exercise in such form and in such manner as the Committee may authorize; (ii) payment of the exercise price for such Options being exercised; (iii) such representations and documents as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or
advisable to effect compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any other federal, state, or foreign securities laws or regulations; and (iv) in the event that the Option is being exercised pursuant to
Section 9 of the Plan by any person other than the Employee, proof deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion of the right of such person to exercise the Option. 
  
 (c)    The option price shall be paid in full at the time of exercise. Payment is to be made in cash or,
at the discretion of the Committee and upon conditions established by it, by the delivery or constructive exchange of shares of Jacobs Common Stock acceptable to the Committee owned by the Employee for such period of time as may be established by
the Committee. 
  
 (d)    The Committee may
make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding or payment by the Employee of any taxes which it determines are required in connection with an exercise of an Option, and an Optionee’s rights in any Incentive Award are
subject to satisfaction of such conditions. 
  

 4 








 If permitted by the Committee, the Employee may elect to satisfy all or any portion of such taxes by instructing the
Company to withhold shares of Jacobs Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to the employee by reason of the exercise. 
  
 If shares of Jacobs Common Stock are delivered or constructively exchanged to pay the option price, or if shares of Jacobs Common Stock otherwise issuable
to the employee by reason of the exercise are withheld to satisfy tax liabilities, the value of the shares delivered or exchanged or that are withheld shall be computed using the Fair Market Value of the Jacobs Common Stock delivered or exchanged,
or withheld, determined as of the date of exercise. 
  
 9.     Transferability of Incentive Awards. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided by the Committee: 
  
 (a)    Incentive Awards granted or awarded pursuant to the Plan shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 (b)    During the lifetime of an employee, an Option
shall be exercisable only by the employee personally, or by the employee’s legal representative. 
  
 10.    Effect on Options of Termination of Employment, Other Changes of Employment or Employer Status, Death,
Retirement, or a Change in Control. 
  
 Schedule A, attached
hereto, establishes the effects on outstanding Options of an Employee’s termination of employment, other changes of employment or employer status, death, Disability, Retirement, or a Change in Control, and is hereby incorporated by reference.
The Committee may approve grants of Options containing terms and conditions different from, or in addition to, those set forth in Schedule A. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, no Option may have a term of more than ten years. 
  
 In the case of leaves of absence, employees will not be deemed to have
terminated employment unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. 
  
 The Committee may, with the consent of the affected employee, modify the terms and conditions pertaining to the effect of an employee’s termination on the expiration or exercisability of an Option subsequent to
the date of grant. 
  
 11.    No Rights as a Shareholder.

  
 An employee or a transferee of an employee pursuant to
Section 9 shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Jacobs Common Stock covered by an Option or receivable upon the exercise of an Option until the employee or transferee shall have become the holder of record of such Jacobs Common
Stock, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property or other distributions or rights in respect to such Jacobs Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date on which the employee or transferee shall have in
fact become the holder of record of the share of Jacobs Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Incentive Award. 
  
 12.    Adjustment in the Number of Shares and in Option Price. 
  
 In the event there is any change in the shares of Jacobs Common Stock through the declaration of stock dividends, or stock splits or through
recapitalization or merger or consolidation or combination of shares or spin-offs or otherwise, the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company shall make such adjustment, if any, as it may deem appropriate in the number of shares of Jacobs
Common Stock available for Options as well as the number of 
  

 5 








 shares of Jacobs Common Stock subject to any outstanding Option and the option price thereof. Any such adjustment may
provide for the elimination of any fractional shares that might otherwise become subject to any Option without payment therefor. 
  
 13.    Awards of Restricted Stock. 
  
 (a)    An Incentive Award in the form of shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded under this Section 13 as determined by the
Committee. The shares of Restricted Stock so issued shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, and in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason
(including death and Disability unless the Committee in its sole discretion terminates the Forfeiture Restrictions following the death or Disability of such Employee), the Employee shall be obligated, for no consideration, to forfeit and surrender
such shares (to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions) to the Company. The restrictions against disposition and the obligation to forfeit and surrender shares to the Company are herein referred to as “Forfeiture
Restrictions”, and the shares that are then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions are herein sometimes referred to as “Restricted Stock.” Certificates representing Restricted Stock shall be appropriately legended to reflect the
Forfeiture Restrictions. 
  
 (b)    The number
of shares of Restricted Stock that may be awarded under this Plan shall be limited to 10% of the total number of shares authorized to be made subject to Incentive Awards under this Plan. Any shares of Restricted Stock awarded under this Plan that
are forfeited shall again be available for reissuance as Restricted Stock. 
  
 (c)    The Forfeiture Restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock issued under this Section 13 shall lapse and be of no further force and effect upon the expiration of the period of time fixed by
the Committee upon the issuance of such Restricted Stock. 
  
 (d)    Should the Employee’s employment with the Company or Related Company be terminated for any reason upon or within thirty-six (36) months following a Change in Control, then all remaining Forfeiture
Restrictions, if any, shall be deemed to have lapsed. 
  
 (e)    In order to enforce the restrictions imposed upon shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require the recipient to enter into an escrow agreement providing that the certificates representing such shares of
Restricted Stock shall remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder until any or all of the restrictions imposed pursuant to the Plan expire or shall have been removed. 
  
 (f)    The Committee may make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding or payment
by the Employee of any taxes which it determines are required in connection the lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions, and an Employee’s rights in any Incentive Award are subject to satisfaction of such conditions. If permitted by the Committee, the
Employee may elect to satisfy all or any portion of such taxes by instructing the Company to withhold shares of Jacobs Common Stock as to which the Restrictions have lapsed. 
  
 (g)    If shares of Jacobs Common Stock are withheld to satisfy tax liabilities, the value of such
shares shall be computed using the Fair Market Value of the Jacobs Common Stock on the date of Forfeiture Restrictions lapse. 
  
 (h)    All of the foregoing restrictions, terms and other conditions regarding shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a
written instrument executed by the Company and the Employee and containing such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall approve. 
  
 14.    Amendments, Modifications and Termination of the Plan. 
  
 (a)    The Board of Directors of the Company or the
Committee may terminate the Plan at any time. From time to time, the Board of Directors or the Committee may suspend the Plan, in whole or in part. From time to time, the Board of Directors or the Committee may amend the Plan, in whole or in part,
including the 
  

 6 








 adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to qualify the Incentive Awards under the laws (including tax laws)
of various countries and under rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to employees who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, or to correct any defect or supply an omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Incentive Award granted hereunder, or for any other purpose or to any effect permitted by applicable laws and regulations, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company. However, in no
event may additional shares of Jacobs Common Stock be allocated to the Plan, or may the minimum exercise price for Options be reduced, or may any outstanding Option be repriced or replaced without shareholder approval. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Board of Directors or the Committee may make amendments applicable or inapplicable only to employees who are subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act. 
  
 (b)    No amendment or termination or modification of the Plan shall in any manner affect any Incentive
Award theretofore granted without the consent of the employee, except that the Committee may amend or modify the Plan in a manner that does affect Incentive Awards theretofore granted upon a finding by the Committee that such amendment or
modification is in the best interest of holders of outstanding Incentive Awards affected thereby. 
  
 (c)    Grants of ISOs may be made under this Plan until December 2, 2009 or such earlier date as this Plan is terminated, and grants
of NQSOs and awards of Restricted Stock may be made until all of the shares of Jacobs Common Stock authorized for issuance hereunder (adjusted as provided in Sections 5 and 12) have been issued or until this Plan is terminated, whichever first
occurs. The Plan shall terminate when there are no longer Options outstanding under the Plan, or when there are no longer shares of Restricted Stock outstanding that are subject to Forfeiture Restrictions, unless earlier terminated by the Board or
by the Committee. 
  
 15.    Non-U.S. Employees.

  
 The Committee may determine, in its sole discretion,
whether it is desirable or feasible under local law, custom or practice to grant or award Incentive Awards to Employees in countries other than the United States. In order to facilitate any such grants or awards, the Committee may provide for such
modifications and additional terms and conditions (“special terms”) in the grant and award agreements to Employees who are employed outside the United States (or who are foreign nationals temporarily within the United States) as the
Committee may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable to accommodate differences in, or otherwise comply with, local law, policy or custom or to facilitate administration of the Plan. The Committee may adopt or approve sub- plans, appendices or
supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable for purposes of implementing any special terms or facilitating the grant or award of an Incentive Award, without
thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose. The special terms and any appendices, supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions, however, shall not include any provisions that are inconsistent with the
terms of the Plan as then in effect, unless the Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the Board of Directors of the Company. 
  
 16.    Governing Law. 
  

The Plan shall be governed by and shall construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its choice
of law rules. 
  
 17.    Adoption of the Plan.

  
 The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the
Board of Directors of the Company and a majority of the shares present at a duly called meeting of the shareholders of the Company held within twelve months of approval by the Board. However, Incentive Awards may be granted at any time following the
approval of the Plan by the Board, but no shares may be issued pursuant to any Incentive Awards until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders, and all listing requirements of all securities exchanges on which the Jacobs Common Stock is listed
have been satisfied.
