 As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2005 

ARTICLE 1 
 INTRODUCTION

 1.1 Purpose of Plan. Avaya Inc. (the “Company”) established the Avaya Inc. Savings Restoration Plan (the
“Plan”) to provide certain eligible employees certain benefits otherwise limited under the Avaya Inc. Savings Plan for Salaried Employees due to certain limitations established under the Internal Revenue Code for such plan. The Plan was
originally effective January 1, 2004. The provisions of the Plan as herein restated shall be effective as of January 1, 2005, except where otherwise indicated. The Company established this Plan to comply with Code Section 409A as
enacted by the American Jobs Protection Act of 2004, and the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with that Code Section. The Company reserves the right to amend or modify the Plan in order to comply with the regulations
promulgated by the Department of the Treasury under Code Section 409A. 
 1.2 Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to be
an unfunded plan maintained by the Company “primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1)
of ERISA, and the Plan shall be interpreted and administered consistent with this intent. 
 ARTICLE 2

Section 414(m)); and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Company pursuant to regulations under Code Section 414(0). 
 2.3 “Automatic Company Allocation” means an allocation as described in Section 4.3 by the Employer for the benefit of a Participant who is an Eligible Employee.

 2.5 “Calendar Quarter” means each three month period beginning on January 1,
April 1, July 1 and October 1. 
 2.6 “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

 (a) Change in Ownership of the Company. Any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, acquires ownership of stock of
the Company that, together with stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this paragraph
(a) and paragraph (b) below, if any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional
stock by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change in Control. 
 (b) Change in Effective Control of the Company.

  

	 	(i)	any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or
Persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; or 

  

	 	(ii)	a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of
the members of the Company’s Board of Directors before the date of the appointment or election. 

  

	 	(iii)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this paragraph (b) and paragraph (a) above, if any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, is considered to
effectively control the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change in Control. 

 (c) Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets. Any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, acquires
(or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value
of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this paragraph, “gross fair market value” means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed
of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of assets by the Company is not treated as a Change in Control if the assets are transferred to: 
  

	 	(i)	a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock; 

  

 2 









	 	(ii)	an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; 

  

	 	(iii)	a Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company;
or 

  

	 	(iv)	an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, that owns, directly or
indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company.

	 	(ii)	For purposes of this Section, Persons will be considered to be “Acting as a Group” if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase
or acquisition of stock or assets, or similar business transaction with the Company. If a Person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock or assets, or similar
transaction, such shareholder is considered to be Acting as a Group with other shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Persons will not be considered to be Acting as a Group solely because they purchase or own stock or assets of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering. 

 2.7 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the regulations and rulings issued thereunder.
Reference to any section or subsection of the Code includes reference to any comparable or succeeding provisions of any legislation that amends, supplements or replaces such section or subsection.

Inc. Short-Term Disability Plan for Salaried Employees, short-term incentive compensation plan awards, and marketing and sales incentive compensation paid to a Participant while employed as an Employee. 
 2.10 “Disability” means a medically determinable physical or mental impairment of the Participant which (a) can be expected to
result in death or to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, and (b) for which the Participant is receiving income replacement 

  

 3 








 
benefits for at least three months under the Avaya Inc. Long-Term Disability Plan for Salaried Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective
January 1, 2008, “Disability” means permanent incapacitation that results in the Participant being determined to be disabled and granted disability benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act. The effective date of a
Participant’s Disability shall be the date on which he or she is determined to be disabled under the Social Security Act without regard to any retroactive period of benefit payments awarded under the Social Security Act. 
 2.11 “Distribution Event” means the earliest of a Change in Control, or a Participant’s Separation from Service, Disability or
death. 
 2.12 “Elective Deferrals” means amounts an Eligible Employee elects to defer under the Plan pursuant to
Section 4.1. 
 2.13 “Eligible Employee” means any Employee designated by the Company in its sole discretion as an
Eligible Employee, who satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in Article 3. 
 2.14 “Employee” means an
employee of an Employer who is an “eligible employee” under the Qualified Plan.

succeeding provisions of any legislation that amends, supplements or replaces such section or subsection. 
 2.17 “Limit”
means the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit on Compensation or the Code Section 415 limit on allocations under the Qualified Plan. 
 2.18 “Matching Allocation” means an allocation by the Employer for the benefit of a Participant who is an Eligible Employee, as described in Section 4.4. 
 2.19 “Participant” means a current or former Eligible Employee who participates in the Plan in accordance with Article 3 or
maintains an Account balance hereunder.

as amended from time to time.

 4 








 2.24 “Separation From Service” means the Participant’s death or other Termination
of Employment with the Company and all related entities of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant is not considered to have a Termination of Employment while on a military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if
the period of such leave does not exceed six months (or longer, if required by statute or contract). If the period of the leave exceeds six months and the Participant’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or contract, the
Participant is deemed to have a Termination of Employment with the Company on the first date immediately following such six-month period. If the Participant is on a leave of absence due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that
can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her employment (or any substantially similar
employment) a twenty-nine month period shall be substituted for the six month period described in this Section. 
 2.25 “Termination
of Employment” means the Participant ceases to perform for the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company, or such services decrease to a level that is 50 percent (50%) or less of the average level of services performed
by the Participant over the immediately preceding 36-month period. However, temporary absence from employment because of vacation or approved leave of absences, and transfers of employment among the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries shall
not be considered a termination of employment or an interruption of employment. 
 2.26 “Vesting Change in Control” means on
or after January 1, 2008, the definition in Section 2.6, and before January 1, 2008 means 
  

	 	(i)	an acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13 (d)(3) or 14 (d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), (an “Entity”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding
Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); excluding,
however, the following: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the security so being converted was itself acquired directly from the Company,
(2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (4) any acquisition by any corporation
pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of subsection (3) of this Section; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 a change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to
as the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that for purposes of this 



  

 5 









	 	 
definition, that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date, whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as
though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; and provided, further however, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of or in connection with either an actual or threatened
solicitation by an Entity other than the Board for the purpose of opposing a solicitation by any other Entity with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of
an Entity other than the Board shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a merger, reorganization or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company (each, a “Corporate Transaction”) or, if consummation of such Corporate Transaction is subject, at the time of such approval by stockholders, to the consent of any government or governmental agency, the obtaining of such
consent (either explicitly or implicitly by consummation); excluding however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who are beneficial owners, respectively, of the
Outstanding Company Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock, and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation
or other individual, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, limited liability company, other entity or government or political subdivision which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries (a “Parent Company”)) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Entity (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company, such corporation resulting from such Corporate
Transaction or, if reference was made to equity ownership of any Parent Company for purposes of determining whether clause (A) above is satisfied in connection with the applicable Corporate Transaction, such Parent Company) will beneficially
own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the combined 



  

 6 









	 	 
voting power of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors unless such ownership
resulted solely from ownership of securities of the Company prior to the Corporate Transaction, and (C) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will immediately after the consummation of the Corporate Transaction constitute at least
a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (or, if reference was made to equity ownership of any Parent Company for purposes of determining whether clause (A) above is
satisfied in connection with the applicable Corporate Transaction, of the Parent Company); or 


  

	 	(iv)	the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

 ARTICLE 3 
 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
 3.1 Eligibility. An Eligible Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 3.2 Participation. An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan on the first date an amount is credited to his or her
Account. A Participant in the Plan shall continue to be a Participant so long as any amount remains credited to his or her Account. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 CONTRIBUTIONS 
 4.1 Elective Deferrals. With respect to any Plan Year, an Eligible Employee may irrevocably elect to defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 25% (in whole percentages) of his or her Compensation after reaching
a Limit for the Plan Year. The deferral percentage elected by an Eligible Employee shall only apply to Compensation after a Limit is reached for a Plan Year. Such an election is a separate and independent election from an election to defer
Compensation under the Qualified Plan. Effective January 1, 2008, an Eligible Employee may only change his or her contribution election under the Qualified Plan with respect to any Plan Year before such Plan Year commences. 
 4.2 Elections. 
 (a) Time
for Making Elective Deferral Elections. 
  

	 	(i)	Generally. An election to defer Compensation must be made during the period designated by the Plan Administrator that ends before the beginning of the Plan Year in which such
Compensation is earned. The Plan Administrator will notify each Eligible Employee of the applicable election period and deadline for filing such elections. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Newly Eligible Employees. In the case of an individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee during a Plan Year, and who is not eligible to 



  

 7 









	 	 
participate in the Avaya Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, such Eligible Employee must make an election to defer Compensation within 30 days after the
Employee becomes an Eligible Employee. Such an election shall be effective beginning with the first administratively feasible payroll period beginning after the date the Eligible Employee submits his or her election to the Plan Administrator. Such
an election shall be effective only with respect to Compensation above the Limit earned after the effective date of the election. 


 (b) Deferral Forms; Irrevocability. All deferral election forms must be timely filed, recorded or otherwise made in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator. An Eligible Employee may change a prior election pursuant to the
rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator but in no event after the date established under Section 4.2(a). However, from and after the last date permitted for making such elections, all deferral elections pursuant to this
Article 4 shall be irrevocable. 
 (c) Rolling Election. An Eligible Employee’s deferral election with respect to
Compensation for a Plan Year shall apply to Compensation for subsequent Plan Years until he or she revokes such election. To be valid, the election to revoke a deferral election must be made during the period designated by the Plan Administrator
that ends before the first Plan Year to which the revocation is to apply. 
 4.3 Automatic Company Allocations. Each payroll
period after an Eligible Employee reaches a Limit for a Plan Year before January 1, 2009, the Plan Administrator shall credit an Automatic Company Allocation to such Eligible Employee’s Account. The Automatic Company Allocation for an
Eligible Employee shall equal two percent multiplied by the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for each payroll period after the Eligible Employee reached a Limit for the Plan Year. Effective January 1, 2009, no more Automatic Company
Allocations will be made. 
 4.4 Matching Allocations. Before January 1, 2009, a Participant who reaches a Limit for a
Plan Year shall receive a Matching Allocation equal to the excess of: (a) the sum of (i) 100% of the Participant’s Elective Deferrals under this Plan and contributions (excluding catch up and rollover contributions) under the
Qualified Plan up to 2% of Compensation plus (ii) 50% of the Participant’s Elective Deferrals under this Plan and contributions (excluding catch up and rollover contributions) under the Qualified Plan in excess of 2% of Compensation, up to
6% of Compensation, over (b) such Participant’s matching contributions under the Qualified Plan for the Plan Year. Effective January 1, 2009, a Participant who reaches a Limit for a Plan Year shall receive a Matching Allocation each
subsequent payroll period during such Plan Year equal to 100% of the Participant’s Elective Deferrals under this Plan up to 4% of Compensation. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 ACCOUNTS 
 5.1 Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall establish an Account for each Participant to reflect allocations, if any, made for the Participant’s benefit together with any adjustments for income, gain
or loss and any payments from the Account. A separate sub-account shall be 

  

 8 








 
established for Elective Deferrals, Automatic Company Allocations, and Matching Allocations. In addition, separate sub-accounts may be established and to
reflect, among other items, the various investment funds and/or forms of payment. The Accounts are established solely for the purposes of tracking allocations and any income adjustments thereto. The Accounts shall not be used to segregate assets for
payment of any amounts deferred or allocated under the Plan. 
 5.2 Investments. 
 (a) Amounts credited to each Participant’s Account shall be deemed invested, in accordance with the Participant’s directions, in one or more
investment funds that are available under the Plan. If a Participant does not make investment elections with respect to amounts credited to his or her Account, such amounts shall be deemed invested in the investment fund as the Avaya Inc. Investment
Committee may direct. The hypothetical investment funds available under the Plan shall be those designated by the Plan Administrator from time to time in its discretion. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, earnings and losses
based on a Participant’s investment elections shall begin to accrue as of the date amounts are credited to the Participant’s Account. The Plan Administrator may promulgate uniform and nondiscriminatory rules and procedures governing
investment elections under the Plan. 
 (b) A Participant shall make his or her investment fund selections at such time as he or she makes a
Deferral Election, as described in Article 4. Investments must be made in whole percentages. From time to time, pursuant to uniform nondiscriminatory rules established by the Plan Administrator, a Participant may change his or her investment
elections or may reallocate amounts invested among the investment funds available under the Plan. 
 (c) Expense charges for transactions
performed for each Participant’s Account shall be debited against each respective Account. Other Plan charges and administrative expenses will be debited against Participant Accounts to the extent not paid by the Employer. 
 5.3 Statements. Periodically, the Plan Administrator shall provide the Participant with access to a statement of such Participant’s
Account reflecting the deemed income, gains and losses (realized and unrealized), contributions and distributions with respect to such Account since the prior statement. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 VESTING 
 Subject to Plan Section 10.2, a Participant shall have a fully vested and nonforfeitable right to his or her: 
 (a) Elective Deferral subaccount at all times, and 
 (b) Automatic Company Allocation and Matching Allocation subaccounts on the earlier of the date he or she becomes 100 percent vested under the Qualified Plan or the date of a Vesting Change in Control. 
  

 9 








 ARTICLE 7 
 DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS 
 7.1 Timing of a Distribution. A Participant’s Account
shall be distributed in the applicable payment form under Sections 7.2 or 7.3 after the occurrence of a Distribution Event. 
 7.2
Election of Payment Form. 
 (a) Election. When a Participant makes an elective deferral election for a Plan Year under
Section 4.2, such Participant shall also elect a payment form for the contributions covered by such deferral election. A Participant may elect one of the following payment options: 
  

	 	(i)	a lump sum payment after a Distribution Event; 

  

	 	(ii)	a lump sum payment in the January following a Distribution Event; or 

  

	 	(iii)	annual installments over a period of up to ten years (as elected by the Participant) beginning as soon as practicable after a Distribution Event. 

 Before January 1, 2008, payments under subsection (i) or (iii) to a Participant who is not a Specified Employee shall commence as soon as administratively
feasible following a Distribution Event or who is a Specified Employee shall not begin before the seventh month after Separation From service. Effective January 1, 2008, payments under subsection (i) or (iii) shall commence in the
Calendar Quarter following the Calendar Quarter in which the Distribution Event occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a Participant whose Distribution Event is a Separation From Service, payments under the elected payment form shall not begin
before the seventh month after the Separation From Service, if the stock of the Company or any Affiliate is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Distribution Event occurs. Payments from a Participant’s Account may be in
cash or in property, as determined by the Plan Administrator or the trustee of any existing trust from which payment is made. If a Participant does not make a payment form election, the Participant’s Account shall be paid as a lump sum payment
pursuant to paragraph (i). 
 (b) Rolling Election. A Participant’s payment form election shall apply to subsequent Plan Year
contributions unless he or she affirmatively elects a different payment form pursuant to paragraph (a). 
 (c) Mandatory
Distributions. Notwithstanding a Participant’s elections pursuant to paragraph (a), a Participant’s total Account shall be paid as a lump sum payment pursuant to subparagraph (a)(i) if: (A) the amounts credited to a

 A Participant may designate a Beneficiary by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing, at any time before Participant’s death, on a form
prescribed by the Plan Administrator for that purpose. A Participant may revoke any Beneficiary designation or designate a new Beneficiary at any time without the consent of a Beneficiary or any other person. If no Beneficiary is designated or no

conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aim. 

 (c) In addition to all rights to allocate and delegate
responsibilities, obligations, or duties specifically granted to the Committee by the provisions hereof, it is specifically understood that the Committee is hereby granted, and shall always have, to the fullest extent allowed by law, the power to

 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 9.1 Authority to Amend and Terminate.  
 (a) Subject to Section 9.2, the Board of Directors of the Company (or a delegate of the Board) shall have the right to amend or terminate the Plan
at any time and for any reason including, but not limited to, as necessary in order to comply with regulations promulgated by the Department of Treasury under Code Section 409A. If the Plan is terminated and a trust is established (as described
in Section 10.1), the Company shall direct the trustee to pay promptly to Participants (or their Beneficiaries) the balance of their Accounts, if the requirements of paragraph (b) are satisfied. 
 (b) Upon termination of the Plan, the Accounts of Participants may be immediately distributed if the following conditions are met: 
  

	 	(i)	all deferred compensation plans of the same type as the Plan (within the meaning of, and as determined in accordance with, Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder) sponsored by the Company for each Participant covered by such plans are terminated; 

  

	 	(ii)	payment is made no earlier than 12 months and no later than 24 months following the date of the termination of the Plan; and 

  

	 	(iii)	no new deferred compensation plan of the same type as the Plan (within the meaning of, and as determined in accordance with, Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder) is established by the Company for any Participant within five years following the date of the termination of the Plan. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions due to the termination of the Plan shall only be made in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Department of Treasury under Code Section 409A. 
 9.2 Existing Rights. No amendment or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to amounts
that have been credited to his or her Account prior to the later of the date such amendment or termination is adopted or effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may amend the Plan as necessary to address changes in
applicable law in order to assure that amounts contributed to the Plan are not subject to federal income tax before distribution or withdrawal, which amendment may (among other things) limit a Participant’s ability to withdraw amounts
previously credited to his or her Account before a Distribution Event and/or limit previously available methods of distribution. 
 ARTICLE
10 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 No Funding. The Company intends that the Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA; provided that the Plan Administrator may 

  

 16 








 
authorize the creation of trusts and deposit therein cash or other property, or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under the
Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall establish such a trust upon a Change in Control, if none has previously been established, and the Company shall make a contribution to such trust effective as of the date of the
Change in Control in an amount equal to the sum of the value of the Participants’ Accounts under the Plan as of such date and all contributions made to the Trust as of the date of the Change in Control shall thereafter be irrevocable until all
Accounts under the Plan have been paid in full. In the event that such a trust or other arrangement is established, any Allocations under the Plan may be made in cash or in property (either in part or in whole), including common stock of the
Company. 
 10.2 General Creditor Status. The Plan constitutes a mere promise by each Employer to make payments in accordance
with the terms of the Plan to Participants (and their Beneficiaries) employed by that Employer. Participants (and their Beneficiaries) shall be unsecured creditors of their Employer. Nothing in the Plan will be construed to give any employee or any
other person rights to any specific assets of any Employer or of any other person. 
 10.3 Non-assignability. None of the
benefits, payments, proceeds or claims of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any creditor of any Participant or Beneficiary and, in particular, the same shall not be subject to attachment or garnishment or other legal
process by any creditor of such Participant or Beneficiary, nor shall any Participant or Beneficiary have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments or proceeds that he or she may expect to
receive, contingently or otherwise under the Plan. 
 10.4 Limitation of Participant’s Rights. Nothing contained in the
Plan shall confer upon any person a right to be employed or to continue in the employ of an Employer, or to interfere, in any way, with an Employer’s right to terminate the employment of a Participant in the Plan at any time, with or without
cause. 
 10.5 Participants Bound. Any action with respect to the Plan taken by the Plan Administrator or a trustee (if any),
or any action authorized by or taken at the direction of the Plan Administrator or a trustee (if any), shall be conclusive upon all Participants and Beneficiaries entitled to benefits under the Plan. 
 10.6 Satisfaction of Claims; Unclaimed Benefits. Any payment to any Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims under the Plan against the Employer, the Plan Administrator and a trustee (if any) under the Plan, and the Plan Administrator may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a
condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. If any Participant or Beneficiary is determined by the Plan Administrator to be incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability (including minority) to give
a valid receipt and release, the Plan Administrator may cause the payment or payments becoming due to such person to be made to another person for his or her benefit without responsibility on the part of the Plan Administrator, the Employer or a
trustee (if any) to follow the application of such funds. In the case of a benefit payable on behalf of a Participant, if the Plan Administrator is 

  

 17 








 
unable to locate the Participant or beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable, upon the Plan Administrator’s determination thereof, such benefit shall
be forfeited to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if subsequent to any such forfeiture the Participant or Beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable makes a valid claim for such benefit, such forfeited benefit shall be restored to the
Plan by the Company. 
 10.7 Governing Law and Severability. The Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all
respects under and by the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to principles of conflicts of laws) to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control. If any provision is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective. 
 10.8 Not Contract of
Employment. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to be a contract between the Company and any person or to be consideration for the employment of any person. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to give any person
the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or to restrict the right of the Company to discharge any person at any time nor shall the Plan be deemed to give the Company the right to require any person to remain in the employ of the Company
or to restrict any person’s right to terminate his employment at any time. 
 10.9 Severability. If any provision of this
Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof; instead, each provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or
invalid provision had never been included herein. 
 10.10 Headings. Headings and subheading in the Plan are inserted for
convenience only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof. 
 *        *        * 
 IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005 and to be executed this 18th day of December, 2008.
