 Exhibit 10.38 

2012 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

OF 
 C. R. BARD, INC.

 (AS AMENDED AND RESTATED) 

Effective as of April 16, 2014, the 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan of C. R. Bard, Inc. is hereby amended and restated by
C. R. Bard, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Corporation”), as set forth herein (the “Plan”). The Plan was originally effective as of April 16, 2003. 

SECTION 1. – Purpose of the Plan 

The 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan of C. R. Bard, Inc. is designed to attract and retain the services of selected employees of the Corporation
and its Subsidiaries and to motivate such employees to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries by providing incentives through the granting of Awards. The Corporation expects that it will benefit from the added
interest that such employees will have in the welfare of the Corporation as a result of their proprietary interest in the Corporation’s success. The Plan may be used to grant equity-based awards under various compensation programs of the
Corporation, as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and in accordance with the terms hereof. The Committee shall have the full authority to establish the terms and conditions of any
Award granted under the Plan, subject to the terms and limitations contained herein.

actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the Directors of the Corporation, which is or would be subject to Rule 14a-11 of the Regulation 14A promulgated under the Act) shall be, for purposes of the Plan, considered as though

employment is with the Corporation or a successor employer

SECTION 3. – Shares Subject to the Plan 

(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9, (i) the total number of Shares which may be issued under the
Plan is 27,125,000 (the “Total Share Pool”) and (ii) the maximum number of Shares for which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or Other Stock-Based Awards under Section 8(b) may be granted during a calendar year to any
Participant shall not exceed 900,000. Any Shares issued in connection with Awards shall reduce the Total Share Pool by one (1) Share for each Option or Stock Appreciation Right and 2.87 for each Award of restricted Shares, unrestricted Shares,
restricted Share units, or Other Stock-Based Awards issued in connection with such Award or by which the Award is valued by reference; provided that Awards that are valued by reference to Shares but are required to be paid in cash pursuant to
their terms shall not reduce the Total Share Pool. 







 (b) Forfeiture. If and to the extent Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights originating from the Total Share Pool terminate, expire or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised or if any Other Stock-Based Awards are forfeited, the Shares subject to such Awards shall again be
available for Awards under the Total Share Pool, and shall increase the Total Share Pool by one (1) Share for each Option or Stock Appreciation Right and 2.87 for each Other Stock-Based Award issued in connection with such Award or by which the
Award is valued by reference. 
 (c) Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Shares shall not
become available for issuance under the Plan: (i) Shares tendered by Participants as full or partial payment to the Corporation upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan; (ii) Shares reserved for issuance upon the grant of Stock
Appreciation Rights, to the extent the number of reserved Shares exceeds the number of Shares actually issued upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Rights; (iii) Shares withheld by, or otherwise remitted to, the Corporation to satisfy a
Participant’s tax withholding obligations upon the lapse of restrictions on restricted Shares or the exercise of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan; and (iv) Shares repurchased by the Corporation with cash received
from a Participant as payment for the exercise price of an Option. 
 SECTION 4. – Administration 

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof; it
is expected that such subcommittee shall consist solely of at least two individuals who are intended to qualify as “Non-Employee Directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Act (or any successor rule thereto) and “outside
directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto); provided, however, that the failure of the subcommittee to be so constituted shall not impair the validity of any Award made by such
subcommittee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have exclusive power to select the Participants and to determine the amount of, or method of determining, the Awards to be made to Participants. All Awards granted to
Participants under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement which specifies the type of Award granted pursuant to the Plan, the number of Shares underlying the Award and all terms governing the Award, including, without limitation, terms
regarding vesting, exercisability and expiration of the Award. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, and to the extent permitted by Section 6(a), be made under the Plan to Participants in assumption of, or in substitution for,
outstanding awards previously granted by the Corporation or its affiliates or an entity acquired by the Corporation or with which the Corporation combines. The number of Shares underlying such substitute awards shall be counted against the aggregate
number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan. The Shares underlying such previously outstanding awards, if such awards were Awards under this Plan, shall be added back to the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan. The Committee
is authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend or rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may
correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as
described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, but not limited to, Participants and their beneficiaries or successors). The Committee shall have the
full power and authority, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to establish the terms and conditions of any Award and to waive any such terms or conditions at any time (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting
conditions). The Committee shall require payment of any amount it may determine to be necessary to withhold for federal, state, local or other taxes as a result of the exercise, grant or vesting of an Award as a condition to such exercise, grant or
vesting. Unless the Committee specifies otherwise, the Participant may elect to pay a portion or all of such withholding taxes by (a) delivery in Shares or (b) having Shares withheld by the Corporation from any Shares that would have
otherwise been received by the Participant. 
 SECTION 5. – Limitations 

No Award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that
date. 







 SECTION 6. – Terms and Conditions of Options 

Options granted under the Plan shall be, as determined by the Committee, non-qualified or incentive stock options for federal income tax
purposes, as evidenced by the related Award agreements between the Corporation and the Option recipient, and shall be subject to the foregoing and the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith,
as the Committee shall determine: 
 (a) Option Price. The Option Price per Share shall be determined by the
Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date an Option is granted. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary other than the last sentence of this Section 6(a), (i) no Option
may be amended to reduce the per Share Option Price of the Shares subject to such Option below the Option Price determined as of the date the Option is granted; (ii) no Option may be granted in exchange or substitution for, or in connection
with, the cancellation or surrender of an Option or other Award having a higher Option Price or exercise price; and (iii) no Option may be cancelled or surrendered in exchange for cash or any other Award. The restrictions set forth in this
Section 6 shall not apply to the assumption of, substitution for, or adjustment of outstanding Options that are assumed, substituted, or adjusted in connection with a transaction described in Section 9, provided that the aggregate Option
Price times the number of shares underlying the Option immediately before the transaction equals or exceeds the aggregate Option Price times the number of Shares underlying the Option (or substituted Option) immediately following the transaction.

 (b) Exercisability. Options granted under the Plan shall be vested and exercisable at such times and upon such
terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. 

(c) Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award agreement, an Option may be
exercised for all, or from time to time any part, of the Shares for which it is then vested and exercisable. For purposes of Section 6 of the Plan, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received
by the Corporation and, if applicable, the date payment is received by the Corporation pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) in the following sentence. The purchase price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be
paid to the Corporation in full at the time of exercise at the election of the Participant (i) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by check), (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee, in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided, that such Shares have been held by the Participant for no less than six months (or such other period as
established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles), (iii) partly in cash and, to the extent permitted by the Committee, partly in such Shares or
(iv) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, subject to rules and limitations established by the Committee, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option
and to deliver promptly to the Corporation an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect
to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares, received such Shares from the Corporation and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the
Committee pursuant to the Plan. 
 (d) Incentive Stock Options. The Committee may grant Options under the Plan
that are intended to be ISOs. Such ISOs shall comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code (or any successor section thereto). Except as otherwise permitted in Section 422 of the Code (or any successor section thereto), no ISO
may be granted to any Participant who, at the time of such grant, owns more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or of any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Option Price for such ISO is at
least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted and (ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted. Any
Participant who disposes of Shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO either (i) within two years after the date of grant of such ISO or (ii) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant shall promptly notify the
Corporation of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition. All Options granted under the Plan are intended to be nonqualified stock options, unless the applicable Award agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to
be an ISO. If an Option is intended to be an ISO, and if for any reason such Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such failure to qualify, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a
nonqualified stock option granted under the Plan; provided, that such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan’s requirements relating to nonqualified stock options. In no event shall any member of the Committee, the
Corporation or any of its Affiliates (or their respective employees, officers or directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other Person) due to the failure of an Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO. 







 (e) Attestation. Wherever in this Plan or any agreement evidencing an
Award a Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement
by presenting proof that he or she is the beneficial owner (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act (or any successor rule thereto)) of such Shares, in which case the Corporation shall treat the Option as exercised without further
payment and shall withhold such number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option. 
 SECTION 7. – Terms and Conditions of
Stock Appreciation Rights 
 (a) Grants. The Committee also may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation Right
independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right in connection with an Option, or a portion thereof. A Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the
related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same number of Shares covered by an Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and
(C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in an Award agreement). 

(b) Terms. The exercise price per Share of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be an amount determined by the
Committee but in no event shall such amount be less than the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted or, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an
Option, or a portion thereof, the Option Price of the related Option and (ii) the minimum amount permitted by applicable laws, rules, by-laws or policies of regulatory authorities or stock exchanges. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan
to the contrary other than the next sentence of this Section 7(b), (i) no Stock Appreciation Right may be amended to reduce the exercise price per Share of the Shares subject to such Stock Appreciation Right below the exercise price
determined as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted; (ii) no Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in exchange or substitution for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of a Stock Appreciation Right or other
Award having a higher exercise price; and (iii) no Stock Appreciation Right may be cancelled or surrendered in exchange for cash or any other Award. The restrictions set forth in this Section 7(b) shall not apply to the assumption of,
substitution for, or adjustment of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights that are assumed, substituted, or adjusted in connection with a transaction described in Section 9, provided that the aggregate exercise price times the number of shares
underlying the Stock Appreciation Right immediately before the transaction equals or exceeds the aggregate exercise price times the number of Shares underlying the Stock Appreciation Right (or substituted Stock Appreciation Right) immediately
following the transaction. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over
(B) the exercise price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right and as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a
portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender to the Corporation the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Corporation in exchange therefor an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market
Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the Option Price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. The date a notice of exercise is received by the Corporation
shall be the exercise date. Payment shall be made in Shares or in cash, or partly in Shares and partly in cash (any such Shares valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be
exercised from time to time in whole or in part upon actual receipt by the Corporation of written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. No fractional Shares will be
issued in payment for Stock Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be paid for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of Shares will be rounded downward to the next whole Share. In no event shall a Stock Appreciation
Right be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. 
 (c) Limitations. Subject to
Section 12, the Committee may impose, in its discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability or transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights as it may deem fit. 







 (d) Limited Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant LSARs
that are exercisable upon the occurrence of specified contingent events (including, without limitation, a Change of Control). Such LSARs may provide for a different method of determining appreciation, may specify that payment will be made only in
cash and may provide that any related Awards are not exercisable while such LSARs are exercisable. Pursuant to Section 4, the Committee is authorized to amend the terms of an LSAR held by any employee subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act, as may be necessary so that the holding and exercise of such LSAR will be exempt under such Section 16. Unless the context otherwise requires, whenever the term “Stock Appreciation Right” is used in the Plan, such term shall
include LSARs. 
 SECTION 8. – Other Stock-Based Awards 

(a) Generally. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant or sell Awards of Shares, Awards of restricted
Shares and Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, Shares (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such
conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive, or vest with respect to, one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the
occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives; provided, however, that the Committee may grant Awards of unrestricted Shares only if the Committee has determined that such Award is made in lieu of salary or
cash bonus. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made, the
number of Shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares; and all other terms and conditions of such
Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable); provided, however, that the restricted period specified in
respect of any Award of restricted Shares shall not be less than three years, except that the Committee may (i) provide for the restricted period to terminate at any time after one year upon the attainment of performance-based objectives and
(ii) the Committee may grant Awards of up to 500,000 restricted Shares without regard to this limitation; and provided further that dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any Other Stock-Based Award that vests based on the
achievement of performance-based objectives shall be accumulated until such Award is earned, and such dividends or dividend equivalents shall not be paid if such performance-based objectives are not satisfied. 

(b) Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, certain Other Stock-Based Awards
granted under this Section 8 may be granted in a manner which is deductible by the Corporation under Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto) (“Performance-Based Awards”). A Participant’s
Performance-Based Awards shall be determined based on the attainment of written performance goals approved by the Committee for a performance period established by the Committee (i) while the outcome for that performance period is substantially
uncertain and (ii) no more than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to which the performance goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal to 25 percent of the relevant performance period, or as otherwise
permitted pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto). The performance goals, which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more of the following criteria: (i) consolidated earnings before or after taxes
(including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ii) net income; (iii) operating income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) return on shareholders’ equity; (vi) attainment of strategic and
operational initiatives; (vii) customer income; (viii) economic value-added models; (ix) maintenance or improvement of profit margins; (x) stock price (including total shareholder return), including, without limitation, as
compared to one or more stock indices; (xi) market share; (xii) revenues, sales or net sales; (xiii) return on assets; (xiv) book value per Share; (xv) expense management; (xvi) improvements in capital structure;
(xvii) costs and (xviii) cash flow. The foregoing criteria may relate to the Corporation, one or more of its Subsidiaries or one or more of its divisions or units, or any combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute
basis and/or be relative to one or more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Committee shall determine. In addition, to the degree consistent with the Code, the performance goals may be calculated without regard to
extraordinary, unusual and/or non-recurring items. The Committee shall determine whether, with respect to a performance period, the applicable performance goals have been met with respect to a given Participant and, if they have, so certify and
ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance-Based Award. No Performance-Based Awards will be paid for such performance period until 







 
such certification is made by the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable performance
goal formula, at the discretion of the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion
after the end of such performance period; provided, however, that a Participant may, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee and consistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, elect to defer payment of a
Performance Based Award. To the extent Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto) provides terms different from the requirements of this Section 8(b), this Section 8(b) shall be deemed amended thereby. 

SECTION 9. – Adjustments Upon Certain Events 

Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan to the contrary: 

(a) Generally. In the event after the Effective Date there is any Share dividend or split, reorganization,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, combination or transaction or exchange of Shares or other corporate exchange, or any distribution to shareholders of Shares or other property or securities (other than regular cash
dividends) or any transaction similar to the foregoing or other transaction that results in a change to the Corporation’s equity capitalization, the Committee shall make such substitution or adjustment, if any, as is equitable or appropriate,
as to (i) the number or kind of Shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan or pursuant to outstanding Awards, (ii) the maximum number of Shares for which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and Other
Stock-Based Awards under Section 8(b) may be granted during a calendar year to any Participant, (iii) the maximum number of Shares which may be granted as Awards of restricted Shares, unrestricted Shares and restricted Share units,
(iv) the Option Price, exercise price of any Stock Appreciation Right or purchase price of any Award and/or (v) any other affected terms of an Award or the Plan. 

(b) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control after the Effective Date, except to the extent the
Committee has determined otherwise with respect to any Award at or prior to the time of grant, the Committee shall take one of the following actions: (i) provide for the issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve the
otherwise applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted hereunder as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or (ii) (A) provide that any outstanding Awards then held by Participants which are unexercisable or
otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions shall automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Change of Control,
and (B) the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, cancel such Awards for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, may equal the excess, if any, of
value of the consideration to be paid in the Change of Control transaction to holders of the same number of Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market Value
of the Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) over the aggregate exercise price of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 

(c) CIC Termination. If a Participant has a CIC Termination, any outstanding Awards then held by the Participant which
are unexercisable or otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions shall automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions, as the case may be. 

SECTION 10. – No Right to Employment or Awards; Excluded Compensation Under Other Plans 

The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Corporation or any Subsidiary to continue the employment of a
Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Corporation’s or Subsidiary’s right to terminate the employment of such Participant. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant
(whether or not such Participants are similarly situated). No award under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining a Participant’s compensation for purposes of any group life insurance or other employee benefit or pension plan of the
Corporation. 







 SECTION 11. – Successors and Assigns 

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Corporation and a Participant, including, without limitation, the estate of such
Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors. 

SECTION 12. – Transferability of Awards 

An Award shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant for consideration. An Award may be transferred by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. An Award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant. Upon the Disability of a Participant, an Award may be exercisable by his
or her conservator or representative. At the Committee’s discretion, an Award agreement may provide that a Participant may transfer certain Awards to family members, or one or more trusts or other entities for the benefit of or owned by family
members, consistent with applicable securities laws, provided that the Participant receives no consideration for the transfer of the Award and the transferred Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to
the Award immediately before the transfer. 
 SECTION 13. – Share Issuance and Delivery in Compliance With Securities Laws 

If in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation (who may be an employee of the Corporation or independent counsel employed by the
Corporation), any issuance or delivery of Shares to a Participant will violate the requirements of any applicable federal or state laws, rules or regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the Act), such issuance or delivery may be postponed until the Corporation is satisfied that the distribution will not violate such laws, rules or regulations. Certificates delivered to Participants pursuant to the Plan may bear such legends as
the Corporation may deem advisable. 
 SECTION 14. – Amendments or Termination 

The Board may amend the Plan at any time, provided that no amendment shall be made without the approval of the Shareholders of the Corporation
that would (a) increase the maximum number of Shares which may be acquired under the Plan, (b) extend the term during which Options may be granted under the Plan, (c) permit the Option Price or exercise price per Share to be less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is granted (other than as specifically provided in Sections 6(a) and 7(b)), (d) terminate restrictions applicable to Awards (except for Permitted
Exceptions) or (e) provide for Awards not permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The Board shall also have the right to terminate the Plan at any time. Without the consent of a Participant (except as otherwise provided in
Section 9(a)), no amendment shall materially diminish any of the rights of such Participant under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner
as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Awards meeting the requirements of the Code or other applicable laws. 
 SECTION 15. – International
Participants 
 With respect to Participants who reside or work outside the United States of America and who are not (and who are not
expected to be) “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the Plan or Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms
with the provisions of local law and practice or otherwise as deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee. 
 SECTION 16. – Choice of Law

 The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to conflicts of
laws. 
 SECTION 17. – Effectiveness of the Plan 

The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date.
