ADMINISTRATION 

(a) Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have sole and
complete authority to (i) interpret the Plan and Awards made under the Plan, including by resolving any omission or correcting any defect in the Plan or any Award, (ii) establish such administrative rules, regulations and procedures as it
deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, (iii) select the Employees to receive Awards under the Plan, (iv) determine the form of each Award, the number of shares subject to each Award and all the terms and
conditions of each Award, (v) determine whether Awards are to be granted singly, in combination or in the alternative, (vi) grant waivers of Plan terms and conditions (vii) modify an Award, to the extent permissible by applicable law,
including without limitation Section 409A, and (viii) take any and all other action it deems advisable for the proper administration of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the express approval of stockholders, the Committee
shall not have the authority to grant Awards in replacement of Awards previously granted under the Plan. All determinations of the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. 

(b) Delegation by the Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or an Award
Notice, but subject to applicable law, the Committee, in its discretion, may delegate its authority and duties under the Plan to the Chief Executive Officer or to other senior officers of the Company, provided, however, that only the Committee may
select and grant Awards and render other decisions as to the timing, pricing and amount of Awards to Participants who are Executive Officers. 

(c) Indemnification. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any act, omission
or determination relating to the Plan, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of
the Plan has been delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee) arising out of any action, omission or determination related to the
Plan, if, in any case, such member, director or employee made or took such action, omission, or determination in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. 

(d) 409A Compliance. The Plan is intended to be administered in a manner consistent with the
requirements, where applicable, of Section 409A. Where reasonably possible and practicable, the Plan shall be administered in a manner to avoid the imposition on Participants of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes pursuant to
Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee, nor any of the Company’s directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to any person in the event Section 409A applies to any such Award
in a manner that results in adverse tax consequences for the Participant or any of his beneficiaries or transferees. 
 SECTION 4

 ELIGIBILITY 

The Committee may grant an Award pursuant to the Plan to any Employee it shall designate. The Committee may grant any or all of the Awards
specified herein to any particular Participant (subject to the applicable limitations set forth in the Plan). Receipt of an Award of one type, or in any year or other period, shall neither entitle an Employee to receive, nor disqualify an Employee
from receiving, another type of Award, or an Award in any future year or period. An Award may be made for one year or multiple years without regard to whether any other type of Award is made for the same year or years.

 SECTION 5 

SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS 

(a) Number. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that are available for Awards under the Plan shall not exceed eight million, seven hundred thousand (8,700,000) shares. For purposes of determining compliance with the limit set forth in this Section 5(a), any shares subject to an
Award which is (i) an Option or SAR shall be counted against this limit as one (1) share for every share subject to such Award, and (ii) not an Option or SAR shall be counted against such limit as 1.8 shares for every share
subject to such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Award is issued in tandem with any other Award (such that it is only possible to benefit under either but not both Awards), the shares subject to such Awards shall be counted only once
against such limit, based on the Award that represents the greatest allocation of shares for this purpose. 

(b) Individual Limitations. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(d), the following
individual Award limits apply: 
 (i) Options, SARs. No Participant may receive
in any calendar year a grant of Options and/or SARs in respect of more than 750,000 shares of Common Stock. 

(ii) Performance-Based Limitations. To the extent that any Award, other than an
Option or SAR, granted to an Executive Officer is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code section 162(m)(4)(C) as “other performance-based compensation,” if available under applicable law, the maximum aggregate amount of such
Award(s) granted to such Participant in any 12 month period shall not exceed 375,000 shares with respect to any Performance Share Award or $2,500,000 with respect to any Performance Unit Award; provided, however, that the amount of shares
or cash payable in respect of any such Award upon superior achievement in respect of the applicable Performance Goal may equal up to twice the amount specified above. 

(c) Canceled, Terminated, or Forfeited Awards, etc. Any shares of Common Stock subject to an
Award (or any portion thereof) which for any reason lapses, is canceled, forfeited or terminated or otherwise is settled without the issuance of Common Stock shall be available for future grants under the Plan. The number of shares available for
grant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be determined based on the number of shares counted against the limit in Section 5(a) with respect to the grant of the corresponding Award. Similarly, any shares subject to an award
previously granted under the 1997 Award and Option Plan which for any reason lapses, is canceled, forfeited or terminated or otherwise is settled without the issuance of Common Stock, in each such case after the Effective Date, shall be available
for future grants under the Plan in addition to those shares made available under Section 5(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares of Common Stock shall not be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan: (i) shares
of Common Stock not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right or Option, (ii) shares of Common Stock used to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes related to an Award, or (iii) shares of
Common Stock repurchased on the open market with the proceeds from the exercise of any Option. 
 (d) Adjustment in
Capitalization. In the event of any Adjustment Event, (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under this Section 5, (ii) the aggregate limitations on the number of shares that may be
awarded as a particular type of Award or that may be awarded to any particular Participant in any particular period under Section 5(c) and (iii) the aggregate number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the respective exercise
prices or Grant Prices applicable to outstanding Awards shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee, in its discretion, with respect to such Adjustment Event. To the extent deemed equitable and appropriate by the Committee and subject to any
required action by shareholders of the Company or of any successor in interest to the Company or any direct or indirect parent corporation of the Company or any such successor, in any Adjustment Event that is a merger, consolidation, reorganization,
liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction, any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to pertain to the securities and other property, including cash, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Award would
have been entitled to receive in connection with such Adjustment Event. Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall be final, binding and conclusive. 

SECTION 6 

STOCK OPTIONS 

(a) Grants. ISOs and Nonqualified Stock Options may be granted to Participants at such time or
times as shall be determined by the Committee. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Options, if any, to be granted to a Participant, provided that ISOs may only be granted to
eligible Participants who satisfy the requirements for eligibility set forth under section 424 of the Code, and further provided that Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid or payable on any Option. The grant date of an Option under the Plan
will be the date on which the Option is awarded by the Committee, or a specified 

  
 5 













 
date in the future including a date relating to the satisfaction of any condition or conditions to the effectiveness of such grant as the Committee shall specify in its sole discretion. Each
Option shall be evidenced by an Award Notice that shall specify the type of Option granted, the exercise price, the duration of the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which the Option or
any part thereof shall become vested or exercisable and such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine. An Award Notice which does not specify the type of Option granted shall be deemed to specify
that each Option granted in that Award Notice shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option. 
 (b) Exercise Price; No
Repricing. The price at which Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be established by the Committee, but such price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the grant date of
the Option. The Committee shall not have the right to reprice an Option under this Plan, including by (i) amending an Option to reduce its exercise price, (ii) canceling an Option at a time when its exercise price exceeds the Fair Market
Value of one share in exchange for an Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, Stock Unit or other equity award, unless the cancellation or exchange occurs in connection with a merger, acquisition, spin-off or other
similar corporate transaction or (iii) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles, provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to Section 5(d) shall not be deemed to be a
repricing that is prohibited by this Section 6(b). 
 (c) Vesting and
Exercisability. Unless otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof or in the Participant’s Award Notice, each Option awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall become vested and exercisable in three equal annual
installments, subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company or Subsidiary through such date. The Committee may provide that Options may also become exercisable, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of any event
specified in the Plan or other condition specified by the Committee at or after the grant date of the applicable Option. In its discretion, the Committee may establish in the Award Notice, conditions based on Performance Goals (in lieu of, or in
addition to, time-based vesting) with respect to the exercisability of any Option. No Option shall be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of its grant date. 

(d) ISOs. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no Option that is intended to be
an ISO may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan. No term of this Plan relating to ISOs shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as
to disqualify the ISO or the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of any Participant affected thereby, to disqualify any ISO under such Section 422. The number of shares of Common Stock that shall be available for
ISOs granted under the Plan is three million (3,000,000) shares. 
 (e) Payment. The Committee
shall establish procedures governing the exercise of Options. No shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option unless arrangements satisfactory to the Committee have been made to assure full payment of the exercise price therefore.
Payment of the exercise price of an Option may be paid (i) in cash or its equivalent, (ii) by exchanging shares of Common Stock or shares of Restricted Stock, (iii) a combination of the foregoing or (iv) pursuant to such other
arrangements as the Committee may deem appropriate, including a cashless exercise program. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may adopt administrative rules, regulations or procedures with respect to any method of exercising an Option, including
pursuant to a cashless exercise program, if permitted. The Company may not make a loan to a Participant to facilitate such Participant’s exercise of any of his or her Options or payment of taxes. 

SECTION 7 

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

(a) Grants. Awards may be granted in the form of Stock Appreciation Rights and may be granted to
any Employee at such time or times as shall be determined by the Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted on a stand-alone basis or in tandem with another Award granted under the Plan. The grant date of a Stock Appreciation Right under
the Plan will be the date on which the Stock Appreciation Right is awarded by the Committee, or a specified date in the future, including a date relating to the satisfaction of any such condition or conditions to the effectiveness of such grant as
the Committee shall specify in its sole discretion. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by an Award Notice, whether as part of an Award Notice governing the terms of the Options, if any, to which such Stock Appreciation Rights relate or
pursuant to a separate Award Notice with respect to freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights, in each case containing such provisions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine, provided that Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid
or payable on any Stock Appreciation Right. 
 (b) Terms and Conditions of SARs. Except as
otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant and subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary through such date, each Stock Appreciation Right awarded to a Participant under the Plan
shall become vested and exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule provided in the applicable Award Notice, but in no event later than ten years from the date of grant. Unless otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof or in the
Participant’s Award Notice, each SAR awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall become vested and exercisable in three equal annual installments, 

  
 6 













 
subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company or Subsidiary through such date. Stock Appreciation Rights may also become exercisable, in whole or in part, upon the
occurrence of any event or events as specified in the Plan or specified by the Committee, in its discretion, either at or after the grant date of the applicable Stock Appreciation Right. In its discretion, the Committee may also establish conditions
based on Performance Goals (in lieu of, or in addition to, time based vesting) with respect to the exercisability of any Stock Appreciation Rights. No Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of their grant date.
The Committee may impose such conditions with respect to the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights, including without limitation, any conditions relating to the application of federal or state securities laws, as it may deem necessary or advisable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Committee shall not have the right to reprice a SAR under this Plan, including by (i) amending a SAR to reduce its Grant Price, (ii) canceling a SAR at a time when its Grant Price exceeds the
Fair Market Value of one share in exchange for an Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, Stock Unit or other equity award, unless the cancellation or exchange occurs in connection with a merger, acquisition, spin-off
or other similar corporate transaction or (iii) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles, provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to Section 5(d) shall not be deemed to be a
repricing that is prohibited by this Section 7(b). 
 (c) Deemed Exercise. Any SAR not
already exercised shall be deemed to be exercised at the close of business on the scheduled expiration date of such SAR, if at such time the SAR by its terms remains exercisable and, if so exercised, would result in a payment to the holder of such
SAR. 
 (d) Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, the holder shall be entitled to
receive payment, in cash, in shares of Common Stock or in a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee, of an amount determined by multiplying: 

(i) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value at the date of exercise over the Grant Price, by 

(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the SARs are then being exercised; provided that, at the
time of grant with respect to any SAR payable in cash, the Committee may establish in the Award Notice, in its sole discretion, a maximum amount per share which will be payable upon the exercise of such SAR. 

SECTION 8 

RESTRICTED STOCK; RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

(a) Grants. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Participants at such
time or times as shall be determined by the Committee. The grant date of any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units under the Plan will be the date on which such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are awarded by the Committee, or a
specified date in the future, including a date related to the satisfaction of any such condition or conditions to the effectiveness of such grant as the Committee shall specify in its sole discretion. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
shall be evidenced by an Award Notice that shall specify (i) the number of shares of Restricted Stock and the number of Restricted Stock Units to be granted to each Participant, (ii) the applicable Restricted Period(s) and (iii) such
other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. Any shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, including, without limitation,
book-entry registration of the shares on the Company’s books and records or the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates that shall be held in the custody of the Secretary of the Company until the Restricted Period applicable to the
Award lapses. 
 (b) Vesting. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted to
Participants under the Plan shall be subject to a Restricted Period established pursuant to the terms of the Plan or by the Committee. Except as otherwise specified in the Plan or determined by the Committee at or after grant, the Restricted Period
with respect to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that vest (i) solely based on the passage of time and the continued performance of services shall lapse in three approximately equal annual installments on the first through third
anniversaries of the grant date and (ii) upon the satisfaction of Performance Goals shall lapse, to the extent Performance Goals have been achieved, not earlier than one year after the commencement of the applicable Performance Cycle. The
Restricted Period applicable to any Restricted Stock grant or Restricted Stock Award shall be specified in the Participant’s Award Notice. The Restricted Period may lapse with respect to portions of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
on a pro rata basis, or it may lapse at one time with respect to all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units in an Award. The Restricted Period shall also lapse, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of any event or events, including a Change
in Control, specified in the Plan.

 (c) Settlement of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Units. At the expiration of the Restricted Period for any outstanding Restricted Stock Awards, the Company shall evidence the lapse of the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Award and shall, upon request, deliver
stock certificates evidencing the shares related to such Restricted Stock Awards to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative (or otherwise evidence the issuance of such shares free of any restrictions imposed under the Plan).
At the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall receive, in the Committee’s discretion (i) a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of the underlying share of
Common Stock as of such payment date, (ii) one share of Common Stock or (iii) any combination of cash and Common Stock. 

(d) Restrictions on Transferability. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may
not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered by the Participant during the Restricted Period, except that the Committee may permit (on such terms and conditions as it shall establish) shares of Restricted Stock
and Restricted Stock Units to be transferred during the Restricted Periods to a Permitted Transferee, in accordance with Section 14(a), provided that any shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units so transferred shall remain subject
to the provisions of this Section 8. 
 (e) Rights as a Shareholder. Except for the
restrictions set forth herein and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of Restricted Stock, including but not limited to, the right to vote and the right to
receive dividends. A Participant shall not have any right, in respect of Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to the Plan, to vote on any matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders until such time as the shares of Common Stock
attributable to such Restricted Stock Units have been issued. The Committee shall determine whether Dividend Equivalents will be provided in respect of any Restricted Stock Unit Award, the manner in which any such Dividend Equivalents will be deemed
invested, the time or times at which such Dividend Equivalents shall be deemed payable, and any other terms and conditions thereon that the Committee shall deem appropriate. 

(f) Legending. To the extent that certificates are issued to a Participant in respect of shares
of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan (or in the event that such Restricted Stock are held electronically), such shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall have such legends (or account restrictions) reflecting the
restrictions of such Awards in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate. 
 SECTION 9 

PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS 

(a) Generally. Awards may be granted in the form of Performance Shares and Performance Units and
may be granted to Participants at such time or times as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Participants who shall receive Performance Shares and Performance Units, the number of Performance
Shares and the number and value of Performance Units each Participant receives for each or any Performance Cycle, and the Performance Goals applicable in respect of such Performance Shares and Performance Units for each Performance Cycle. The
Committee shall determine the duration of each Performance Cycle (the duration of Performance Cycles may differ from each other), and there may be more than one Performance Cycle in existence at any one time. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, the Performance Cycle for Performance Shares and Performance Units shall be three years, and shall in no event be less than one year. The Committee shall be entitled to make such rules, determinations and adjustments as it deems
appropriate with respect to any Participant who becomes eligible to receive a performance-based Award after the commencement of a Performance Cycle. Performance Shares and Performance Units shall be evidenced by an Award Notice that shall specify
the number of Performance Shares and the number and value of Performance Units awarded to the Participant, the Performance Goals applicable thereto, and such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine,
provided that no Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or payable on any Performance Shares or Performance Units before they become earned and vested. No shares of Common Stock will be issued at the time an Award of Performance Shares is made, and the
Company shall not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of Performance Shares or Performance Units. 

(b) Earned Performance Shares and Performance Units. Performance Shares and Performance Units
shall become earned and vested, in whole or in part, based upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals or the occurrence of any event or events including a Change in Control, as the Committee shall determine, either at or after the grant
date. In addition to the achievement of the specified Performance Goals, the Committee may, in the Award Notice, condition payment of Performance Shares and Performance Units on such conditions as the Committee shall specify. The Committee may also
require the completion of a minimum period of service (in addition to the achievement of any applicable Performance Goals) as a condition to the vesting of any Performance Share or Performance Unit Award. 

  
 8 













 (c) Performance Goals. Performance Goals shall
be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and shall be set out in the Award Notice. Except in the case of Awards to Executive Officers intended to be “other performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m)(4) of the Code,
the Committee may also adjust the Performance Goals for any Performance Cycle as it deems equitable in recognition of events impacting the comparability of the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, changes in applicable tax
laws or accounting principles, or such other factors as the Committee may determine. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent the Committee intends that an Award granted to an Executive Officer qualify as
“other performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Code, the Committee shall (i) specify and approve the specific terms of any Performance Goals with respect to such Awards in writing no
later than ninety (90) days from the commencement of the Performance Cycle to which the Performance Goals relate, and (ii) not be entitled to exercise any subsequent discretion otherwise authorized under the Plan (such as the right to
authorize payout at a level above that dictated by the achievement of the relevant Performance Goals) with respect to such Award if the ability to exercise discretion (as opposed to the exercise of such discretion) would cause such Award to fail to
qualify as other performance-based compensation. 
 (d) Negative Discretion. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, with respect to any Performance Unit Awards, the Committee shall have the right to establish written rules or procedures that have the effect of limiting the amount payable to each Participant to an
amount that is less than the maximum amount otherwise authorized. 
 (e) Certification of Attainment of Performance
Goals. As soon as practicable after the end of a Performance Cycle and prior to any payment or vesting in respect of such Performance Cycle, the Committee shall certify in writing the number of any Performance Shares and the
number and value of any Performance Units which have been earned or vested on the basis of performance in relation to the established Performance Goals. 

(f) Payment of Awards. Payment or delivery of Common Stock with respect to earned Performance
Shares and earned Performance Units shall be distributed to the Participant or, if the Participant has died, to the Participant’s legal representative, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Performance Cycle and the
Committee’s certification under Section 9(e) above, provided that payment or delivery of Common Stock with respect to earned Performance Shares and earned Performance Units shall not be distributed to a Participant until any other
conditions on payment of such Awards established by the Committee have been satisfied. The Committee shall determine whether earned Performance Shares and the value of earned Performance Units are to be distributed in the form of cash, shares of
Common Stock or in a combination thereof, with the value or number of shares payable to be determined based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the Committee’s certification under Section 9(e) above. The Committee
shall have the right to impose whatever conditions it deems appropriate with respect to the award or delivery of shares of Common Stock, including conditioning the vesting of such shares on the performance of additional service. 

SECTION 10 

OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS 

The Committee may grant Other Stock-Based Awards in accordance with this Section 10. Other Stock-Based Awards may take such form of an
interest in the Common Stock, the value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof as the Committee shall determine, including outright awards of Common Stock in satisfaction of an obligation of an Employer in respect
of compensation that would otherwise be payable to an Employee in cash (each, a “Cash Settlement Award”). The number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Other Stock-Based Awards shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the shares
authorized for issuance under Section 5(a) hereof, except that, the number of Other Stock-Based Awards that are Cash Settlement Awards shall not be subject to, or otherwise counted against, the foregoing 5% limit. In addition to any other terms
and conditions that may be specified by the Committee, each Other Stock-Based Award shall specify the impact of a termination of service upon the rights of a Participant in respect of such Award. At the discretion of the Committee, such conditions
may be the same as apply with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or may contain terms that are more or less favorable to the Participant. The terms of any Other Stock-Based Award need not be uniform in application to all (or any
class of) Participants, and each Other Stock-Based Award granted to any Participant (whether or not at the same time) may have different terms. Any such Other Stock-Based Award shall be evidenced by an Award Notice which specifies the terms and
conditions applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 11 

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

(a) Termination Due to Death, Disability, Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at or after the time the Award is granted and set forth in the Award Notice, if a Participant’s employment or service terminates due to the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement: 

  
 9 













 (i) Performance Awards. With
respect to Performance Awards, the Participant or Participant’s designated beneficiary, as the case may be, shall be entitled to a distribution of, and such Performance Awards shall be deemed vested to the extent of, the same number or value of
Performance Awards that would have been payable for the Performance Cycle had the Participant’s service with the Company or Subsidiary continued until the end of the applicable Performance Cycle,
pro-rated to reflect the time period from the commencement of the Performance Cycle through the date of the termination of the Participant’s service with the Company or Subsidiary. Any Common Stock
issuable in respect of such Performance Awards or value of Performance Awards payable in cash that become payable in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be paid on the date the Performance Award would have been paid had the Participant
remained employed through the end of the Performance Cycle. 
 (ii) Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the corresponding Award Notice, all outstanding Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become immediately and fully vested, regardless of
the extent to which otherwise vested as of the date of such termination of service or employment. Any Common Stock issuable or cash payable in respect of any Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid on the
date the Restricted Stock Units would have been paid had the Participant remained employed through the end of the Restricted Period. 

(iii) Options/SARs. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the
corresponding Award Notice, all outstanding Options and SARs shall become immediately and fully exercisable, regardless of the extent to which they are otherwise exercisable as of the date of such termination of service or employment. Unless
otherwise specified by the Committee in the corresponding Award Notice, all outstanding Options and SARs awarded to a Participant whose employment terminates due to death, Disability or Retirement shall remain exercisable by the Participant, his
legal representative or his Permitted Transferee, until the fifth anniversary of the date of the Participant’s termination of service or the Award’s original expiration date, whichever is earlier, after which date any unexercised Options
and SARs shall terminate. 
 (b) Termination for Cause. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at or after the grant date and set forth in the Award Notice covering such Award, if a Participant’s employment or service terminates for Cause, all Options and SARs, whether vested or unvested, and all other Awards that are unvested,
unexercisable or with respect to which the Restricted Period has not lapsed shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled, effective as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service. 

(c) Termination due to a Divestiture. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the
corresponding Award Notice, if a Participant’s employment or service terminates due to the divestiture by the Company of one or more Subsidiaries or other business segments, divisions or operations in a transaction that does not otherwise
qualify as a Change in Control: 
 (i) Performance Awards. With respect to
Performance Awards, the Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of, and such Performance Awards shall be deemed vested to the extent of, the same number or value of Performance Awards that would have been payable for the Performance Cycle
had the Participant’s service with the Company or Subsidiary continued until the end of the applicable Performance Cycle, pro-rated to reflect the time period from the commencement of the Performance
Cycle through the date of the termination of the Participant’s service due to the divestiture (including a termination of service occurring by reason of the sale of a Subsidiary). Any Common Stock issuable in respect of such Performance Awards
or value of Performance Awards payable in cash that become payable in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be paid on the date the Performance Award would have been paid had the Participant remained employed through the end of the
Performance Cycle. 
 (ii) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit
Awards. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the corresponding Award Notice, all outstanding Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become immediately and fully vested, regardless of the extent to which
otherwise vested as of the date of such termination of service or employment due to such divestiture. Any Common Stock issuable or cash payable in respect of any Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid
promptly (but in no event later than 60 days) after the date of such divestiture. 

(iii) Options/SARs: Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the
corresponding Award Notice, all outstanding Options and SARs shall become immediately and fully exercisable, regardless of the extent to which they are otherwise exercisable as of the date of such termination of service or employment due to the
divestiture and shall remain exercisable until the third anniversary of the date of such divestiture or the Award’s original expiration date, whichever is earlier, after which date any unexercised Options and SARs shall terminate. 

  
 10 













 (d) Termination due to a Reduction in
Force. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the corresponding Award Notice (or after the date of the issuance of such Award Notice, if more favorable to the Participant), if a Participant’s employment or service
terminates without Cause due to a reduction in force or similar downsizing at the Company or any Subsidiary unit that affects a significant number of employees, all Awards that are unvested, unexercisable or with respect to which the Restricted
Period has not lapsed, and Performance Awards for which the applicable Performance Cycle has not been completed, shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled, effective as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service. Unless
otherwise specified by the Committee in the corresponding Award Notice, any Option or SAR that is vested not later than the date of termination shall remain exercisable until the first anniversary of the date of the Participant’s termination of
service or the Award’s original expiration date, whichever is earlier, after which date any unexercised Option or SAR shall terminate. 

(e) Termination for any Other Reason. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after
the time the Award is granted, and except as may otherwise be provided in any agreement to which the Company and a Participant are parties, if a Participant’s employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason
other than death, Disability, Retirement, Cause, divestiture or reduction in force, all Options and SARs that are not exercisable, and all other Awards that have not vested or become payable, as of the date of such termination shall be immediately
forfeited and cancelled, effective as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service. Unless otherwise specified in the Participant’s Award Notice, and except as may otherwise be provided in any agreement to which the Company and
a Participant are parties, any Options and SARs awarded to a Participant whose employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates other than due to death, Disability, Retirement or Cause (including, without limitation, by reason of
the fact that an entity that employs or employed the Participant ceases to be a Subsidiary) that are exercisable as of such termination shall remain exercisable for 90 days thereafter, or until the Award’s original expiration date,
whichever is earlier, after which date any unexercised Options and SARs shall terminate. 
 SECTION 12 

CHANGE IN CONTROL 

(a) Accelerated Vesting and Payment. Subject to the provisions of Section 12(b) below, in
the event of a Change in Control (i) each Option and SAR then outstanding shall be fully exercisable regardless of the exercise schedule otherwise applicable to such Option and/or SAR, (ii) the Restricted Period shall lapse as to each
share of Restricted Stock then outstanding, (iii) each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit shall become fully vested and payable, (iv) each outstanding Performance Share Award and Performance Unit Award shall be deemed earned at the target
level of performance for such Award, and (v) each outstanding Other Stock-Based Award shall become fully vested and payable. In addition, in connection with such a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that each
Option and/or SAR shall, upon the occurrence of such Change in Control, be canceled in exchange for a payment per share in cash (the “Settlement Payment”) in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value over the exercise
price of such Option or the Grant Price of such SAR. Should the Committee authorize any Settlement Payments in respect of Options, the Committee may determine that any Options which have an exercise price per share below the Fair Market Value shall
be deemed cancelled and satisfied in full for a deemed Settlement Payment of zero. The Committee may also direct that each Restricted Stock Unit, Other Stock-Based Award, Performance Share and/or Performance Unit shall be settled in cash with its
value determined based on the value received by the shareholders in any transaction that itself constitutes a Change in Control. 

(b) Alternative Awards. Notwithstanding Section 12(a), no cancellation, acceleration of
exercisability, vesting, cash settlement or other payment shall occur with respect to any Award if the Committee reasonably determines in good faith, prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, that such Award shall be honored or assumed, or new
rights substituted therefor (such honored, assumed or substituted award hereinafter called an “Alternative Award”), by a Participant’s employer (or the parent or an affiliate of such employer) immediately following the Change in
Control; provided that any such Alternative Award must: 
 (i) be based on stock which is traded on an
established U.S. securities market; 
 (ii) provide such Participant with rights and entitlements substantially
equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions applicable under such Award, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise or vesting schedule and identical or better timing and methods of payment; 

(iii) have substantially equivalent economic value to such Award (determined at the time of the Change in Control and
using valuation principles permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.424-1); and 

  
 11 













 (iv) have terms and conditions which provide that in the event that,
during the 24-month period following the Change in Control, the Participant’s employment or service is involuntarily terminated for any reason (including, but not limited to a termination due to death or
Disability) other than for Cause or Constructively Terminated (as defined below), all of such Participant’s Options and/or SARs shall be deemed immediately and fully exercisable, the Restricted Period shall lapse as to each of the
Participant’s outstanding Restricted Stock awards, each of the Participant’s outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards shall be payable in full and each such Alternative Award shall be settled for a payment per
each share of stock subject to the Alternative Award in cash, in immediately transferable, publicly traded securities or in a combination thereof, in an amount equal to, in the case of an Option or SAR, the excess of the fair market value of such
stock on the date of the Participant’s termination over the corresponding exercise or base price per share and, in the case of any Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, or Other Stock-Based Award, the fair market value of the number of
shares of stock subject or related thereto. 
 (c) Constructive Termination. For purposes of
Section 12(b)(iv), a Participant’s employment or service shall be deemed to have been Constructively Terminated if, without the Participant’s written consent, the Participant terminates employment or service within 120 days
following either (x) a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary or a Participant’s incentive compensation opportunity, or (y) the relocation of the Participant’s principal place of employment or
service to a location more than 35 miles away from the Participant’s prior principal place of employment or service. 

(d) Amounts Subject to Section 409A. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 12, to the extent that any Award granted under the Plan and outstanding at the time of a Change in Control is treated as “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, and not exempt from its
requirements under any applicable exemption therefrom, no acceleration of payment of such Award shall be made upon a Change in Control unless such event is also a change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership
of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation within the meaning of Section 409A. Any Award which is not payable upon the occurrence of a Change in Control solely by reason of the operation of this Section 12(d) shall become
vested in accordance with Section 12(a) (unless the provisions of Section 12(b) apply to such Award), but shall be paid at the date or event that such Award would have been payable without regard to the occurrence of such Change in
Control. 
 SECTION 13 

EFFECTIVE DATE, AMENDMENT, 

MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 

(a) Generally. The Plan shall be effective on the Effective Date, and shall continue in effect,
unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Section 13, until the fifteenth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Board or the Committee may at any time in its sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever, terminate or suspend the Plan, and from
time to time, subject to obtaining any regulatory approval, including that of the New York Stock Exchange, may amend or modify the Plan; provided that without the approval by a majority of the votes cast at a duly constituted meeting of shareholders
of the Company, no amendment or modification to the Plan may (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (ii) increase the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan or the individual Award
limitations, (iii) modify the class of persons eligible for participation in the Plan or (iv) materially modify the Plan in any other way that would require shareholder approval under any regulatory requirement that the Committee
determines to be applicable, including, without limitation, the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. 
 SECTION 14 

MISCELLANEOUS 

(a) Nonassignability. Except as provided herein or in an Award Notice, no Award may be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Committee may permit (on such terms and conditions as it shall establish) a Participant to transfer an Award for no
consideration to the Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law,
daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the
beneficial interest (a “Trust”) and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests (“Permitted Transferees”), provided further that nothing in this
Section 14(a) shall prohibit the transfer of an Award from a Trust back to a Participant to whom the Award was originally granted, in accordance with the terms of the Trust. No amendment to the Plan or to any Award shall permit transfers other
than in accordance with the preceding sentence. Any attempt by a Participant to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or encumber an Award without complying with the provisions of the Plan shall be void and of no effect. Except to the extent required by
law, no right or interest of any Participant shall be subject to any lien, obligation or liability of the Participant. All rights with respect to Awards granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant’s
lifetime only by such Participant or, if applicable, his or her Permitted Transferee(s). The rights of a Permitted Transferee shall be limited to the rights conveyed to such Permitted Transferee, who shall be subject to and bound by the terms of the
agreement or agreements between the Participant and the Company. 

  
 12 













 (b) Tax Withholding. The Company shall be
entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the participant to pay to
it such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. Subject to any administrative rules, regulations or procedures established by the Committee, a Participant may pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from an
Award, in whole or in part, by requesting that the Company withhold from any payment of Common Stock due as a result of such Award, or by delivering to the Company, shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value less than or equal to the amount
of such required withholding taxes. 
 (c) Noncompetition and Other Adverse
Actions. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, unless the Award Notice specifies otherwise, a Participant shall forfeit all unexercised, unearned, and/or unpaid Awards, including Awards earned but not
yet paid, all unpaid Dividend Equivalents, and all interest, if any, accrued on the foregoing if, (i) in the opinion of the Committee, the Participant, without the written consent of the Company, engages directly or indirectly in any manner or
capacity as principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, or otherwise, in any business or activity competitive with the business conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) the Participant performs any act or engages in any
activity which in the opinion of the Committee is adverse to the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may suspend the exercisability or the payment of any Award hereunder during any
period during which the Company is determining whether the requirements of this Section 14(c) have been violated. 

(d) Amendments to Awards. The Committee may at any time unilaterally amend any unexercised,
unearned, or unpaid Award, including Awards earned but not yet paid, to the extent it deems appropriate, provided, however, that subject to Section 5(d) any such amendment which is adverse to the Participant shall require the Participant’s
consent unless the Committee determines that such amendment or modification is necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law as a result of changes in law or regulation or to avoid the imposition of an additional tax, interest or penalty
under Section 409A. 
 (e) No Right, Title or Interest in Company Assets. No Participant
shall have any rights as a stockholder as a result of participation in the Plan until the date of issuance of a stock certificate or book entry shares in his name, and, in the case of Restricted Stock, Stock Options or SARs, until such rights are
granted to the Participant. To the extent any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 

(f) Regulatory Approvals and Listings. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the
contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates of Common Stock evidencing Awards resulting in the payment of Common Stock prior to (i) the obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency which the Company
shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, (ii) the admission of such shares to listing on the stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed, and (iii) the completion of any registration or other
qualification of said shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable. 

(g) No Right to Continued Employment or Grants. Participation in the Plan shall not give any
Participant any right to remain in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company or, in the case of employment with a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary, reserves the right to terminate any Participant at any time. Further, the adoption of this
Plan shall not be deemed to give any person the right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award, nor shall the grant of one Award guarantee the grant of further Awards in the future. 

(h) No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed (i) to limit,
impair or otherwise affect the Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any
part of its business or assets or (ii) to limit the right or power of the Company or any Subsidiary to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate. 

(i) Legal Fees. The Company shall pay all legal fees and related expenses incurred by a
Participant in seeking to obtain or enforce any payment, benefit or right he may be entitled to under the Plan following the occurrence of a Change in Control, provided that the Participant shall be required to repay any such amounts to the Company
to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final and non-appealable order setting forth the determination that the position taken by the Participant was frivolous or advanced in bad faith. 

(j) Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. 
 (k) No
Impact on Benefits. Except as may otherwise be specifically provided for under any employee benefit plan, policy or program provision to the contrary, Awards shall not be treated as compensation for purposes of calculating a
Participant’s right under any such plan, policy or program. 
 (l) Captions. The headings
and captions appearing herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience. They do not define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent of the provisions of the Plan.
