 4. Procedure for Exercise of Awards; Rights as a Shareholder. 

(a) Procedure. An Award shall be exercised when written, electronic or verbal notice of exercise has been given to the
Company, or the brokerage firm or firms approved by the Company to facilitate exercises and sales under this Sub-Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Award by the Person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with
respect to which the Award is exercised has been received by the Company or the brokerage firm or firms, as applicable. The notification to the brokerage firm shall be made in accordance with procedures of such brokerage firm approved by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 4(b) of this Sub-Plan. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such share certificate promptly upon
exercise of the Award. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the share certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 5 of this Sub-Plan. 

(b) Method of Payment. The permissible methods of payment of consideration for any Shares to be issued upon exercise or
other required settlement of an Award shall be: (i) with respect to an Option, a request that the Company or the designated brokerage firm conduct a cashless exercise of the Option; and (ii) cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Plan, payment of the aggregate exercise price of Options by means of tendering previously owned shares of Common Stock shall not be permitted. 
 (c) Withholding Obligations. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Partner shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company
for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Option, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or any sale of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of
such Shares until such obligations are satisfied. These obligations may be satisfied by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to a Partner under such Award, such


  
 5 








 
withholding to be done at the minimum tax rate required by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the satisfaction of these obligations by tendering
previously owned shares of Common Stock shall not be permitted. 
 (d) Shareholder Rights. Except as otherwise
provided in this Sub-Plan, until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the share certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive
dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Award. 
 (e) Non-Transferability of Awards. An Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in exchange for consideration, except that an Award may be
transferred (i) by will, or by the laws of descent or distribution applicable to, a deceased Partner, and/or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order. 
 5. Adjustments to Shares Subject to this Sub-Plan. If any change is made to the Shares by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of
shares or other change affecting the outstanding Shares as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the number of Shares which are subject to outstanding Awards under this Sub-Plan. The
Committee may also make adjustments described in the previous sentence in the event of any distribution of assets to shareholders other than a normal cash dividend. In determining adjustments to be made under this Section 5, the Committee may
take into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including the restrictions of applicable law and the potential tax consequences of an adjustment, and in light of such factors may make adjustments that are not uniform or proportionate among
outstanding Awards. Adjustments, if any, and any determinations or interpretations, including any determination of whether a distribution is other than a normal cash dividend, made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. For
purposes of this Section 5, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” 
 6. Expiration of Options. 
 (a) Expiration, Termination
or Forfeiture of Options. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or any severance agreement, vested Options granted under this Sub-Plan shall expire, terminate, or otherwise be forfeited as follows:

(iii), (iv) or (v) below;

services as a result of Retirement. 
 (b) Extension of Term. Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the
Committee shall have the authority to extend the expiration date of any outstanding Option in circumstances in which it deems such action to be appropriate (provided that no such extension shall extend the term of an Option beyond the date on which
the Option would have expired if no termination of the Partner’s Active Status had occurred). 
 7. Effect of Change of
Control. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Sub-Plan or the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply unless otherwise provided in the most recently executed agreement between the Partner and the Company, or
specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any applicable governmental agencies or national securities exchanges or quotation systems.

respect to any Partner, notwithstanding Section 7(a)(ii) above, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control described in Section 2(f)(iv), but only if in connection with such Change of Control each Award is not assumed or an equivalent
award substituted by such successor entity or a parent or subsidiary of such successor entity. 
 (b) Definition.
For purposes of this Section 7, Awards of a Partner being “Accelerated” means, with respect to such Partner: 
 (i) any and all Options shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable, and shall remain exercisable throughout their entire term; 

(ii) any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are not performance-based shall

permitted to Reprice an Option after the date of grant without shareholder approval.

not exercised, installments shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after becoming exercisable, but not later than the date the Options expire. To the extent Options vest and become exercisable in increments, such
Options shall cease vesting as of the date of the Optionee’s Disability or termination of such Optionee’s Active Status for reasons other than Retirement or death. In case of such Optionee’s Retirement or death, such Options shall
become fully vested and immediately exercisable.

Restricted Stock Units may include a dividend equivalent right, as permitted by Section 5. After the Committee determines that it will offer Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, it will advise the Partner in writing or electronically, by
means of an Award Agreement, of the terms, conditions and restrictions, including vesting, if any, related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the Partner shall be entitled to receive or purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and, if
applicable, the time within which the Partner must accept the offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement or as otherwise directed by the Committee. Restricted Stock Units may be paid as permitted by Section 4(b). The
term of each award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be at the discretion of the Committee.

To the extent that the Partner purchased the Shares granted under such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units and any such Shares remain non-vested at the time the Partner’s Active Status terminates, the termination of Active Status shall
cause an immediate sale of such non-vested Shares to the Company at the original price per Share paid by the Partner. 
 10. Termination
and Amendment of this Sub-Plan. This Sub-Plan shall terminate on the date of termination of the Plan and no Award may be granted pursuant to this Sub-Plan thereafter. The Committee may at any time and from time to time amend, modify or

rescinding the Plan but is intended to serve as a framework for the Committee with respect to grants of Awards to Eligible Partners.

or has employees. 
 13. Multiple Award Grants. The terms of each Award grant may differ from other Awards granted under this
