Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons interested herein. 

(d)    Delegation of Authority.    To the extent not prohibited by applicable laws,
rules and regulations, the Committee may, from time to time, delegate some or all of its authority under the Plan to a subcommittee or subcommittees thereof or other persons or groups of persons as it deems necessary, appropriate or advisable
under such conditions or limitations as it may set at the time of such delegation or thereafter; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority (i) to make Awards to employees (A) who are subject on the

the Code, or (C) who are officers of the Company who are delegated authority by the Committee hereunder, or (ii) pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, reference to the Committee shall be deemed to refer to any

operation, administration or interpretation of the Plan and (ii) the members of the Board or the Committee (and its delegates) shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement in the manner provided in the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation as it may be amended from time to time. In the performance of its responsibilities with respect to the Plan, the Committee shall be entitled to rely upon information and/or advice furnished by the Company’s officers or employees,
the Company’s accountants, the Company’s counsel and any other party the Committee deems necessary, and no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or not taken in reliance upon any such information and/or advice.

 (f)    Action by the Board.    Anything in the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, any authority or responsibility that, under the terms of the Plan, may be exercised by the Committee may alternatively be exercised by the Board. 

4. Eligibility 

(a)    Eligible Individuals.    Awards may be granted to employees and Non-Employee
Directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that only employees of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary may be granted Incentive Stock Options. The Committee shall have the authority to select the persons
to whom Awards may be granted and to determine the type, number and terms of Awards to be granted to each such Participant. Under the Plan, references to “employment” or “employed” include service of Participants who are
Non-Employee Directors, except for purposes of determining eligibility to be granted Incentive Stock Options. 

(b)    Grants to Participants.    The Committee shall have no obligation to grant any
Eligible Individual an Award or to designate an Eligible Individual as a Participant solely by reason of such Eligible Individual having received a prior Award or having been previously designated as a Participant. The Committee may grant more than
one Award to a Participant and may designate an Eligible Individual as a Participant for overlapping periods of time. 
 5. Shares Subject to
the Plan 
 (a)    Plan Limit.    Subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued for all purposes under the Plan shall be 12,000,000 plus any Shares that become available for issuance upon cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of awards
granted under the Prior Plan without having been exercised or settled. Shares to be issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares, issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company (in the open-market or in private transactions)
and that are being held in treasury, or a combination thereof. No more than 12,000,000 Shares may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options. 

  
 5 








 (b)    Rules Applicable to Determining Shares Available for
Issuance.    The number of Shares remaining available for issuance will be reduced by the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards that are both denominated and intended to be settled in Shares and, for all other
awards, by the number of Shares actually delivered upon settlement or payment of the Award. For purposes of determining the number of Shares that remain available for issuance under the Plan, (i) the number of Shares that are tendered by a
Participant or withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the Participant’s tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award and (ii) all of the Shares covered by a
stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right to the extent exercised, will not be added back to the Plan Limit. In addition, for purposes of determining the number of Shares that remain available for issuance under the Plan, the number of Shares
corresponding to Awards that are both denominated and intended to be settled in Shares under the Plan that are forfeited or cancelled or otherwise expire for any reason without having been exercised or settled or that is settled through issuance of
consideration other than Shares (including, without limitation, cash) shall be added back to the Plan Limit and again be available for the grant of Awards; provided, however, that this provision shall not be applicable with respect to
(i) the cancellation of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option upon the exercise of the Option or (ii) the cancellation of an Option granted in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right upon the exercise of the Stock
Appreciation Right. 
 (c)    Special Limits.    Anything to the contrary in
Section 5(a) above notwithstanding, but subject to adjustment under Sections 5(b) and 13 of the Plan, the following special limits shall apply to Shares available for Awards under the Plan: 

(i) the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units,
Performance Stock, Performance Share Units and Other Awards that are payable in Shares granted under the Plan shall equal 3,000,000 Shares in the aggregate. 
 (ii) the maximum number of Shares that may be made subject to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to any Eligible Individual in any calendar year shall equal 400,000 Shares, and if any
Option or Stock Appreciation Right is forfeited, cancelled or otherwise expires for any reason without having been exercised, the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be included in the determination of the aggregate
number of Shares issued to such employee under the Plan. 
 (iii) the maximum amount of Awards (other than those
Awards set forth in Section 5(c)(ii)) that may be (1) awarded to any Eligible Individual in any calendar year (with respect to Awards settled in Shares) is 400,000 Shares measured as of the date of grant, or (2) paid to any Eligible
Individual in any calendar year (with respect to Awards settled in cash) is $15 million; and 
 (iv) A maximum of
five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be issued as Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock, or Performance Share Units, having no minimum vesting period as specified in
Sections 8(a) and 10(a). 
 (d) Any Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the number of Shares
remaining for issuance and shall not be subject to Section 5(c). 
 6. Awards in General 

(a)    Types of Awards.    Awards under the Plan may consist of Options, Restricted Stock,
Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Stock, Performance Share Units and Other Awards. Any Award described in Sections 7 through 11 of the Plan may be granted singly or in combination or tandem with any other Award, as the
Committee may determine. Awards under the Plan may be made in combination with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to awards or rights under any other compensation or benefit plan of the Company, including the plan of any acquired entity.

 (b)    Terms Set Forth in Award Document.    The terms and conditions of each
Award shall be set forth in an Award Document in a form approved by the Committee for such Award, which Award Document shall contain terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to applicable laws,
the Committee may accelerate (i) the vesting or payment of any Award, (ii) the lapse of restrictions on any Award or (iii) the date on which any Award first becomes exercisable. The Committee shall exercise this discretion only in the
event of death, disability, Change of Control, 

  
 6 








 
retirement, or termination without cause. If an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, or if an Award is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes
of Section 409A or Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall have discretion to alter the terms of the Award only to the extent that the alteration would not cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or
the “performance-based compensation” exemption under Section 162(m), respectively. The terms of Awards may vary among Participants, and the Plan does not impose upon the Committee any requirement to make Awards subject to uniform
terms. Accordingly, the terms of individual Award Documents may vary. 
 (c)    Termination of
Employment.    The Committee shall specify at or after the time of grant of an Award the provisions governing the disposition of an Award in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, in connection with a Participant’s termination of employment, the Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the vesting, exercisability or settlement of,
eliminate the restrictions and conditions applicable to, alter the form of payment, or extend the post-termination exercise period of an outstanding Award. Such provisions may be specified in the applicable Award Document or determined at a
subsequent time. If an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, or if an Award is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 409A or Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall
have discretion to alter the terms of the Award only to the extent that the alteration would not cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or the “performance-based compensation” exemption under
Section 162(m), respectively. 
 (d)    Change of Control.    (i) The
Committee shall have full authority to determine the effect, if any, of a Change of Control of the Company or any Subsidiary on the vesting, exercisability, settlement, payment or lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award, which effect may be
specified in the applicable Award Document or determined at a subsequent time. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board or the Committee shall, at any time prior to, coincident with or after the effective time of a Change of
Control, take such actions as it may consider appropriate, including, without limitation: (A) providing for the acceleration of any vesting conditions relating to the exercise or settlement of an Award or that an Award shall terminate or expire
unless exercised or settled in full on or before a date fixed by the Committee; (B) making such adjustments to the Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control; (C) causing the Awards then
outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by the surviving corporation in such Change of Control; or (D) permitting or requiring Participants to surrender outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for a
cash payment equal to the difference, if any, between the highest price paid for a Share in the Change of Control transaction and the Exercise Price of the Award. If an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have
discretion to alter the terms of the Award only to the extent that the alteration would not cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A. In addition, except as otherwise specified in an Award Document (or a
Participant’s written employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary): 
 (1) any and all Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall become immediately exercisable; 
 (2) any restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units outstanding as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall lapse; 

(3) the Performance Targets with respect to all Performance Share Units, Performance Stock and other performance-based
Awards granted pursuant to Sections 6(g) or 10 outstanding as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall be deemed to have been attained at the specified target level of performance; 

(4) the vesting of all Awards denominated in Shares outstanding as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall be
accelerated; and 
 (5) any Award that became earned or vested as a result of the Change in Control shall be paid
in full within 30 days after the vesting date (unless the payment would constitute an impermissible acceleration of a distribution that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, in which case the payment shall be made on the original distribution
date). 

  
 7 








 (ii) Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Committee
may provide, in an Award Document or subsequent to the grant of an Award for the accelerated vesting, exercisability and/or the deemed attainment of a Performance Target with respect to an Award upon specified events similar to a Change of Control.

 (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Document, the provisions of this
Section 6(d) may not be terminated, amended, or modified upon or after a Change of Control in a manner that would adversely affect a Participant’s rights with respect to an outstanding Award without the prior written consent of the
Participant. Subject to Section 16, the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, may terminate, amend or modify this Section 6(d) at any time and from time to time prior to a Change of Control. 

(e)    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.    The Committee may provide
Participants with the right to receive dividends or payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect to an outstanding Award, which payments can either be paid currently or deemed to have been reinvested in Shares, and can be made in
Shares, cash or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine; provided, however, that the terms of any payment or reinvestment of dividends (including the time and form in which reinvested dividends will be paid to the
Participant) must be specified in the Award Document when the Award is granted and must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code. Dividends or dividend equivalents that
are paid currently with respect to any non-vested Award generally shall be paid at the same time as dividends are paid to the Company’s shareholders, and in no event later than 2 1/2 months after the end of the year in which the dividend record date
falls. Dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested with respect to any non-vested Award shall vest and be paid out at the same time and under the same conditions as the underlying Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dividends or
dividend equivalents shall be paid with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 

(f)    Rights of a Shareholder.    A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with
respect to Shares covered by an Award (including voting rights) until the date the Participant or his or her nominee becomes the holder of record of such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is
prior to such date, except as provided in Section 13. 
 (g)    Performance-Based
Awards.    (i) The Committee may determine whether any Award (or portion of an Award) under the Plan is intended to be “performance-based compensation” as that term is used in Section 162(m) of the
Code. Any such Awards (or portions of Awards) designated to be “performance-based compensation” shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more Performance Targets to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code and
will be subject to all other conditions and requirements of Section 162(m). The Performance Targets will consist of specified levels of one or more of the following performance criteria as the Committee deems appropriate: operating cash flows
from continuing operations, operating working capital, free cash flow, revenues, segment profit, corporate expenses, special charges, gain (loss) on sale of business, income from continuing operations, net income, EBITDA—earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, EBIT—earnings before interest and taxes, EPS—earnings per share, as adjusted EPS, ROA—return on assets, ROS—return on sales, ROE—return on equity, ROIC—return on invested
capital, WACC—weighted average cost of capital, total shareholder return, stock price appreciation, growth in managed assets, organic growth, cost performance, net cost reductions, inventory turns, selling and administrative expense as a
percentage of sales, days sales outstanding, ratio of income to fixed charges, segment profit margins, total profit margin, EVA—economic value added, intrinsic value and effective income tax rate, in each case determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (subject to modifications approved by the Committee) consistently applied on a business unit, divisional, subsidiary or consolidated basis or any combination thereof. The Performance Targets may be described
in terms of objectives that are related to the individual Participant or objectives that are Company-wide or related to a Subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit and may be measured on an absolute or cumulative basis or
on the basis of percentage of improvement over time, and may be measured in terms of Company performance (or performance of the applicable Subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit) or measured relative to selected peer
companies or a market index. In addition, for Awards or portions of Awards not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may establish Performance Targets based on
other criteria as it deems appropriate. 

  
 8 








 (ii) The Participants will be designated, and the applicable Performance
Targets will be established, by the Committee within ninety (90) days following the commencement of the applicable Performance Period (or such earlier or later date permitted or required by Section 162(m) of the Code). Each
Participant will be assigned a Target Number payable if Performance Targets are achieved. Any payment of an Award granted with Performance Targets shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case that the Performance
Targets and any other material conditions were satisfied. The Committee may determine, at the time of Award grant and to the extent permitted by Code Section 162(m) and the regulations and interpretive rulings thereunder, that if
performance exceeds the specified Performance Targets, the Award may be settled with payment greater than the Target Number, but in no event may such payment exceed the limits set forth in Section 5(c). Similarly, the Committee may establish a
payment that is below the Target Number but above a threshold level of payment if performance is below established Performance Targets. The Committee retains the right to reduce any Award notwithstanding the attainment of the Performance Targets.
Notwithstanding the above, for any Award or portion of an Award designated to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee does not retain any right to increase any amount otherwise
determined under the provisions of the Plan and the Award. 

(h)    Deferrals.     All Awards that are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture when
granted shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum (in cash, Shares, or a combination of the two) no later than the end of the year in which the Award vests (or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month after the Award vests),
unless the Participant has made a valid election under a deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Company to defer all or part of the Award. No deferral opportunity shall exist with respect to an Award unless explicitly permitted by the Committee
at the time of grant. No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall include a right to defer gain upon exercise or any other deferral feature. 
 (i)    Repricing of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.    Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, except as may be specifically authorized
by the Company’s shareholders, at any time when the exercise price of a Option or Stock Appreciation Right is above the Fair Market Value of a Share, the Company shall not reduce the exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right and
shall not exchange such Option or Stock Appreciation Right for a new Award with a lower (or no) exercise price or for cash The foregoing shall not (i) prevent adjustments pursuant to Section 13 or (ii) apply to grants of Substitute
Awards. 
 (j) One-Time Option Exchange. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, upon approval of
the Company’s shareholders, the Committee may provide for, and the Company may implement, a one-time-only option exchange offer, pursuant to which certain outstanding Options could, at the election of the person holding such Options, be
tendered to the Company in exchange for the issuance of a lesser amount of Options with a lower exercise price, provided that such one-time-only option exchange offer is commenced within six months of the date of such shareholder approval.

 7. Terms and Conditions of Options 
 (a)    General.    The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Options to Eligible Individuals and shall determine whether such Options shall be Incentive
Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Document that shall expressly identify the Option as an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option, and be in such form and contain such provisions as
the Committee shall from time to time deem appropriate. 
 (b)    Exercise
Price.    The exercise price of an Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant or shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant. In no event shall the exercise price of an
Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; provided, however that the exercise price of a Substitute Award granted as an Option shall be determined in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code and, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Section 424 of the Code and may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value. 

  
 9 








 (c)    Term.    An Option
shall be effective for such term as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in the Award Document relating to such Option, and the Committee may extend the term of an Option after the time of grant; provided, however,
that the term of an Option may in no event extend beyond the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of grant of such Option. 

(d)    Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price.    Options shall be exercised by delivery of a
notice of exercise in a form approved by the Company. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Document, the exercise price of an Option may be paid (i) in cash or cash equivalents, (ii) by actual delivery or attestation to
ownership of freely transferable Shares already owned by the person exercising the Option, (iii) by a combination of cash and Shares equal in value to the exercise price, (iv) through net share settlement or similar procedure involving the
withholding of Shares subject to the Option with a value equal to the exercise price or (v) by such other means as the Committee may authorize. In accordance with the rules and procedures authorized by the Committee for this purpose, the
Option may also be exercised through a “cashless exercise” procedure authorized by the Committee from time to time that permits Participants to exercise Options by delivering irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the
Company the amount necessary to pay the exercise price and the amount of any required tax or other withholding obligations or such other procedures determined by the Company from time to time. 

(e)    Incentive Stock Options.    The exercise price per Share of an
Incentive Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant or shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option be less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. No Incentive Stock Option may be issued pursuant to the Plan to any individual who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing more
than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, unless (i) the exercise price determined as of the date of grant is at least one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the Shares subject to such Incentive Stock Option and (ii) the Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable more than five (5) years from the date of grant thereof. No Participant
shall be granted any Incentive Stock Option which would result in such Participant receiving a grant of Incentive Stock Options that would have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), determined as of the
time of grant, that would be exercisable for the first time by such Participant during any calendar year. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after February 28, 2017, the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which the Plan was adopted by the
Board. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, as amended from time to time. 

8. Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units 
 (a)    Minimum Vesting Provisions.    Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units settled in Shares that are granted without any other performance-based
qualification criteria other than the Participant’s continued service shall have a minimum period of restriction of three (3) years. Performance-based grants shall feature a minimum period of restriction of one (1) year. Awards of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall not be deemed to lack a minimum period of restriction solely because they vest before the end of the period in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, including Early
Retirement, or in the event of a Change of Control. 
 (b)    Restricted
Stock.    The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Restricted Stock to Eligible Individuals. An Award of Restricted Stock shall consist of one or more Shares granted to an Eligible Individual, and shall be subject to the
terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award and specified in the applicable Award Document. Restricted Stock may, among other things, be subject to restrictions on
transferability, vesting requirements or other specified circumstances under which it may be canceled. 

(c)    Restricted Stock Units.    The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Restricted
Stock Units to Eligible Individuals. A Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle a Participant to receive, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and the applicable Award Document, one or more Shares. Restricted Stock
Units may, among other things, be subject to restrictions on transferability, vesting 

  
 10 









 
requirements or other specified circumstances under which they may be canceled. If and when the cancellation provisions lapse, the Restricted Stock Units shall become Shares owned by the
applicable Participant or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, cash, or a combination of cash and Shares, with a value equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of payment. 

9. Stock Appreciation Rights 
 (a)    General.    The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Individuals. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle a
Participant to receive, upon satisfaction of the conditions to payment specified in the applicable Award Document, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the number of Shares for which the Stock
Appreciation Right is exercised over the grant price for such Stock Appreciation Right specified in the applicable Award Document. The grant price per share of Shares covered by a Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee at the time
of grant or, alternatively, shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall the grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of
a Share on the date of grant; provided, however, that the grant price of a Substitute Award granted as a Stock Appreciation Rights shall be in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and may be less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value. Payments to a Participant upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash or Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise equal to
the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the number of Shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised over the grant price for such Stock Appreciation Right. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right settled in
Shares shall not exceed ten (10) years. 
 (b)    Stock Appreciation Rights in Tandem with
Options.    A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted either at the same time as such Option or subsequent thereto. If granted in tandem with an Option, a Stock Appreciation Right shall cover
the same number of Shares as covered by the Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent the related Option shall be exercisable, and shall have the
same term as the related Option. The grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option shall equal the per-share exercise price of the Option to which it relates. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem
with an Option, the related Option shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of Shares covered by such exercise; conversely, if the related Option is exercised as to some or all of the Shares covered by the tandem grant, the tandem
Stock Appreciation Right shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of Shares covered by the Option exercise. 
 10. Terms
and Conditions of Performance Stock and Performance Share Units 
 (a)    Minimum Vesting
Provisions.    Performance Stock or Performance Share Units shall feature a minimum period of restriction of one (1) year. Awards of Performance Stock or Performance Share Units shall not be deemed to lack a minimum
period of restriction solely because they vest before the end of the period in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, including Early Retirement, or in the event of a Change of Control. 

(b)    Performance Stock.    The Committee may grant Performance Stock to Eligible
Individuals. An Award of Performance Stock shall consist of a Target Number of Shares granted to an Eligible Individual based on the achievement of Performance Targets over the applicable Performance Period, and shall be subject to the terms,
conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award and specified in the applicable Award Document. 
 (c)    Performance Share Units.    The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Performance Share Units to Eligible Individuals. A Performance Share Unit
shall entitle a Participant to receive, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award and specified in the applicable Award Document, a Target Number of Shares
or cash based upon the achievement of Performance Targets over the applicable Performance Period. At the sole discretion of the Committee, Performance Share Units shall be settled through the delivery of Shares or cash, or a combination of Shares
and cash. 

  
 11 









 11. Other Awards 
 The Committee shall have the authority to specify the terms and provisions of other forms of equity- or cash-based Awards not described above that the Committee determines to be consistent with the
purpose of the Plan and the interests of the Company, which Awards may provide for cash payments or settlement in Shares. To the extent that any such Awards which constitute “full value” awards are to be settled in Shares and are
performance-based, the minimum period of restriction shall be one (1) year. Awards which constitute “full value” awards and are to be settled in Shares that have no performance-based criteria other than the Participant’s
continued service shall have a minimum period of restriction of three (3) years. 
 12. Certain Restrictions 

(a)    Transfers.    No Award shall be transferable other than pursuant to a
beneficiary designation under Section 12(c), by last will and testament or by the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order, as the case may be;
provided, however, that the Committee may, subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations and such terms and conditions as it shall specify, permit the transfer of an Award, other than an Incentive Stock Option, for no
consideration to a Permitted Transferee. Any Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall be further transferable only by last will and testament or the laws of descent and distribution or, for no consideration, to another Permitted Transferee
of the Participant. 
 (b)    Award Exercisable Only by Participant.    During the
lifetime of a Participant, an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant or by a Permitted Transferee to whom such Award has been transferred in accordance with Section 12(a) above. The grant of an Award shall impose no obligation
on a Participant to exercise or settle the Award. 
 (c)    Beneficiary
Designation.    The beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Participant to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit shall be determined under
the Company’s Group Life Insurance Plan. A Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation
shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, including the beneficiary designated under the Company’s Group Life Insurance Plan, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing (in such form or manner as may
be prescribed by the Committee) with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of a valid designation under the Company’s Group Life Insurance Plan or otherwise, if no validly designated beneficiary survives the
Participant or if each surviving validly designated beneficiary is legally impaired or prohibited from receiving the benefits under an Award, the Participant’s beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. 

13. Recapitalization or Reorganization 
 (a)    Authority of the Company and Shareholders.    The existence of the Plan, the Award Documents and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or
restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or business, any merger or
consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Shares or the rights thereof or which are
convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or
otherwise. 
 (b)    Change in Capitalization.    Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan or any Award Document, the number and kind of Shares authorized for issuance under Section 5 of the Plan, including the maximum number of Shares available under the special limits provided for in Section 5(c), shall be equitably
adjusted in the sole discretion of the Committee in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, reclassification, merger, consolidation, separation,
extraordinary cash dividend, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of Shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase Shares at a price substantially below Fair Market Value, or any other corporate event or distribution of stock or property of
the Company affecting the Shares in order to preserve, but not increase, the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. In addition, upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, the number and kind of Shares
subject to any outstanding 

  
 12 









 
Award and the exercise price per Share (or the grant price per Share, as the case may be), if any, under any outstanding Award shall be equitably adjusted (including by payment of cash to a
Participant) in the sole discretion of the Committee in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to Participants. Such adjustments shall be made by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, such adjusted Awards shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting or settlement schedule to which the underlying Award is subject. 
 14. Term of the Plan 
 Unless earlier terminated
pursuant to Section 16, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, except with respect to Awards then outstanding. No Awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. No
Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after February 28, 2017, the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board. To the extent (but only to the extent) required by Section 162(m) of the Code, no Award that is intended to be
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) shall be granted after the first shareholder meeting in 2012 unless the material terms of the performance goal for the Award have been disclosed to and reapproved by shareholders
before that date. 
 15. Effective Date 
 The Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date. 
 16. Amendment and Termination

 Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board may at any time terminate or, from time to time, amend,
modify or suspend the Plan; provided, however, that no termination, amendment, modification or suspension (i) will be effective without the approval of the shareholders of the Company if such approval is required under applicable
laws, rules and regulations, including the rules of NYSE and (ii) shall materially and adversely alter or impair the rights of a Participant in any Award previously made under the Plan without the consent of the holder thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall have broad authority to amend the Plan or any Award under the Plan without the consent of a Participant to the extent it deems necessary or desirable (a) to comply with, take into account changes
in, or interpretations of, applicable tax laws, securities laws, employment laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, (b) to take into account unusual or nonrecurring events or market conditions
(including, without limitation, the events described in Section 13(b)), or (c) to take into account significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets or other property by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, except for adjustments
pursuant to Section 13, no amendment or modification to the Plan will be effective without the approval of the shareholders of the Company if such amendment or modification would (i) increase benefits to Participants, (ii) increase
the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan or (iii) modify the requirements for participation in the Plan. The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make a non-exclusive written delegation of its authority to
amend the Plan to the Committee or to one or more officers of the Company. The Board may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, authorize the Committee to make a further delegation of its authority to amend the Plan. 

17. Miscellaneous 

(a)    Tax Withholding.    The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, may require any
individual entitled to receive a payment of an Award to remit to the Company, prior to payment, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements. In the case of an Award payable in Shares, the Company or a Subsidiary, as
appropriate, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit taxes by the Company withholding Shares that would otherwise be received by such individual or repurchasing Shares that were issued to the
Participant to satisfy the (i) minimum statutory withholding rates within the United States, or (ii) in accordance with local tax jurisdictions outside the United States, as applicable, for any applicable tax withholding purposes, in
accordance with all applicable laws and pursuant to such rules as the Committee may establish from time to time. The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant
(whether or not such payment is made in connection with an Award) any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments. 
 (b)    No Right to Awards or Employment.    No person shall have any claim or right to receive Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan, the grant of Awards
under the Plan nor any action taken or omitted to be 

  
 13 









 
taken under the Plan shall be deemed to create or confer on any Eligible Individual any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or to
interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate the employment of such Eligible Individual at any time. No Award shall constitute salary or contractual compensation for the
year of grant, any later year or any other period of time. Payments received by a Participant under any Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of employment-related rights or benefits
under any other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company and the Subsidiaries, unless otherwise specifically provided for under the terms of such plan or arrangement or by the Committee. 

(c)    Securities Law Restrictions.    An Award may not be exercised or settled, and no
Shares may be issued in connection with an Award, unless the issuance of such Shares (i) has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) has qualified under applicable state “blue sky” laws (or the Company
has determined that an exemption from registration and from qualification under such state “blue sky” laws is available) and (iii) complies with all applicable foreign securities laws. All certificates for Shares delivered under the
Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any exchange upon which the Shares are
then listed, and any applicable securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

(d)    Section 162(m) of the Code.    The Plan is intended to comply in all
respects with Section 162(m) of the Code; provided, however, that in the event the Committee determines that compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code is not desired with respect to a particular Award (or portion
of an Award), compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code will not be required. In addition, if any provision of this Plan would cause Awards or portions of Awards that are intended to constitute “qualified performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, to fail to so qualify, that provision shall be severed from, and shall be deemed not to be a part of, the Plan, but the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

 (e)    Section 409A of the Code.    Notwithstanding any contrary provision
in the Plan or an Award Document, if any provision of the Plan or an Award Document contravenes any regulations or guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code or would cause an Award to be subject to additional taxes, accelerated
taxation, interest and/or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of the Plan or Award Document may be modified by the Committee without the consent of the Participant in any manner the Committee deems reasonable or necessary.
In making such modifications the Committee shall attempt, but shall not be obligated, to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without contravening the provisions of Section 409A of the
Code. Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Committee may have pursuant to the Plan shall not be applicable to an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent such discretionary authority would contravene
Section 409A of the Code or the guidance promulgated thereunder. 
 (f)    Awards to Individuals
Subject to Laws of a Jurisdiction Outside of the United States.    To the extent that Awards under the Plan are awarded to Eligible Individuals who are domiciled or reside outside of the United States or to persons who are
domiciled or reside in the United States but who are subject to the tax laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, the Committee may adjust the terms of the Awards granted hereunder to such person (i) to comply with the laws,
rules and regulations of such jurisdiction and (ii) to permit the grant of the Award not to be a taxable event to the Participant. The authority granted under the previous sentence shall include the discretion for the Committee to adopt,
on behalf of the Company, one or more sub-plans applicable to separate classes of Eligible Individuals who are subject to the laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States. 

  
 14 









 (g)    Satisfaction of
Obligations.    Subject to applicable law, the Company may apply any cash, Shares, securities or other consideration received upon exercise or settlement of an Award to any obligations a Participant owes to the Company and
the Subsidiaries in connection with the Plan or otherwise, including, without limitation, any tax obligations or obligations under a currency facility established in connection with the Plan. 

(h)    No Limitation on Corporate Actions.    Nothing contained in the Plan shall be
construed to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from taking any corporate action, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on any Awards made under the Plan. No Participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against
the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any such action. 
 (i)    Unfunded
Plan.    The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan for incentive compensation. Prior to the issuance of Shares, cash or other form of payment in connection with an Award, nothing contained herein shall give
any Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. The Committee may, but is not obligated to, authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan
to deliver Shares with respect to awards hereunder. 
 (j)    Successors.    All
obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. 
 (k)    Application
of Funds.    The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Awards will be used for general corporate purposes. 
 (l)    Award Document.    In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and any Award Document, the Plan shall govern and the Award Document
shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such conflict or inconsistency. 

(m)    Headings.    The headings of Sections herein are included solely for convenience of
reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan. 

(n)    Severability.    If any provision of this Plan is held unenforceable, the remainder
of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan. 

(o)    Expenses.    The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the
Company. 
 (p)    Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law.    Except as to matters
of federal law, the Plan and all actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Rhode Island. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan or any award under the
Plan shall be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Rhode Island, and no other court, agency or tribunal shall have jurisdiction to resolve any such dispute, controversy or claim. 

(q) Compliance with Individual Tax Requirements. The Plan is intended, and shall be interpreted, to provide compensation that is
exempt from Section 409A , or that complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A. The Company does not warrant that the Plan will comply with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Participant or with respect to any
payment, however. In no event shall the Company; any Subsidiary; any director, officer, or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary; or any member of the Committee be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant as a
result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy any other requirements of applicable tax laws.
