	IV.	Eligibility. 

 Incentive Awards
may be granted only to executive officers of the Corporation or a Subsidiary. 
  

	V.	Incentive Awards; Terms of Awards; Payment. 

 A. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine which Eligible Employees shall receive Incentive Awards. For each Award Period with respect to which the Committee determines to make Incentive
Awards, the Committee shall by resolution establish one or more Performance Goals applicable to such Incentive Awards and the other terms and conditions of the Incentive Awards. Such Performance Goals and other terms and conditions shall be
established by the Committee in its sole discretion as it shall deem appropriate and in the best interests of the Corporation and shall be established (1) within 90 days after the first day of the Award Period and (2) before 25% of the
Award Period has elapsed. 
 B. After the end of each Award Period for which the Committee has granted Incentive Awards, the
Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals established by the Committee for the Award Period have been achieved and shall authorize the Corporation to make Incentive Award payments to Participants in accordance with the
terms of the Incentive Awards. In no event shall the amount paid to a Participant in accordance with the terms of Incentive Awards by reason of Performance Goal achievement exceed $5,000,000 in any calendar year. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, no Incentive Award payments shall be made to a Participant unless the Participant is employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary as of the end of the Award Period. 
 C. The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, cancel an Incentive Award or eliminate or reduce (but not increase) the amount payable pursuant to the terms of an Incentive Award without the
consent of a Participant. 
 D. Incentive Award payments shall be subject to applicable federal, state and local withholding
taxes and other applicable withholding in accordance with the Corporation’s payroll practices as from time-to-time in effect. 
 E. The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Incentive Awards as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Incentive Awards satisfy all requirements for
“performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, or any successor provision thereto. Prior to the payment of any Incentive Award, the Committee shall certify in writing (which may be
substantiated by the inclusion of such a determination in the minutes of a meeting of the Committee) that the Performance Goals and other material terms applicable to such Incentive Award are satisfied. 

 

	VI.	Transferability. 

 Incentive
Awards shall not be subject to the claims of creditors and may not be assigned, alienated, transferred or encumbered in any way other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.

	VII.	Termination or Amendment. 

 The
Committee may amend, modify or terminate the Plan in any respect at any time without the consent of Participants, provided that (a) no amendment or termination of the Plan after the end of an Award Period may adversely affect the rights of
Participants with respect to their Incentive Awards for that Award Period, and (b) no amendment which would require shareholder approval under Section 162(m) of the Code may be effected without such shareholder approval. 

 

	VIII.	Effectiveness of Plan and Awards. 

 The Plan and Incentive Awards granted hereunder shall be void ab initio unless the Plan is approved by a vote of the Corporation’s shareholders at the first shareholders’ meeting of the
Corporation following adoption of the Plan by the Committee. 
  

	IX.	Effective Date; Term of the Plan. 

 The Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 2013. Unless sooner terminated by the Committee pursuant to Section VII, to the extent necessary to ensure that Incentive Award payments made to Covered
Employees may be deductible by the Corporation or Subsidiary for federal income tax purposes, the Plan shall terminate as of the date of the first meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders occurring during 2018, unless the term of the Plan is
extended and reapproved at such shareholders’ meeting. No Incentive Awards may be awarded under the Plan after its termination. Termination of the Plan shall not affect any Incentive Awards outstanding on the date of termination and such awards
shall continue to be subject to the terms of the Plan notwithstanding its termination. 
  

	X.	General Provisions. 

 A. The
establishment of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Employee any legal or equitable right against the Corporation or any Subsidiary, except as expressly provided in the Plan. 

B. An Incentive Award payment shall be subject to recoupment: (1) to the extent of the excess of what would have been paid to
the Eligible Employee under an Applicable Restatement, or (2) as required by any other clawback policy implemented by the Corporation or by any other provisions of any law (including without limitation Section 10D of the Exchange Act),
government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement. For purposes of this section “Applicable Restatement” means, with respect to any payment under an Incentive Award, an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of
the Corporation with any financial reporting requirements under the United States federal securities laws that is required to be prepared at any time during the 3-year period following such payment. 

C. The Plan does not constitute an inducement or consideration for the employment of any Eligible Employee, nor is it a contract between
the Corporation, or any Subsidiary and any Eligible Employee. Participation in the Plan shall not give an Eligible Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

 D. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Committee from adopting other or
additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

E. The Plan shall be governed, construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
