 SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.

  
 The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on June 3,
2004, effective as of the date of the initial offering of Stock to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Date”). The purpose of the Plan is to
promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees,
Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing
for Awards in the form of restricted shares, stock units, options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights. 
  
 SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. 
  
 (a) “Affiliate” 
  
 shall mean any entity other than a Subsidiary, if the Company and/or one of more Subsidiaries own not less than 50% of such entity. 
  
 (b) “Award” 
  
 shall mean any award of an Option, a SAR, a Restricted Share or a Stock Unit
under the Plan.

 (d) “Change in
Control”

following events:

composition of the Board of Directors occurs, as a result of which fewer than one-half of the incumbent directors are directors who either: 
  
 (A) Had been directors of the Company on the “look-back date” (as defined below) (the “original directors”); or

 (B) Were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors with the
affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved (the “continuing
directors”); or 
  
 (ii) Any
“person” (as defined below) who by the acquisition or aggregation of securities, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote at elections of directors (the “Base
Capital Stock”); except that any change in the relative beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by any person resulting solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base Capital Stock, and any decrease
thereafter in such person’s ownership of securities, shall be disregarded until such person increases in any manner, directly or indirectly, such person’s beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company; or 
  
 (iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own immediately after such merger, consolidation
or other reorganization 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding securities of each of (A) the continuing or surviving entity and (B) any direct or indirect parent corporation of such continuing or surviving entity; or 
  
 (iv) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets. 
  
 For purposes
of subsection (d)(i) above, the term “look-back” date shall mean the later of (1) the Effective Date, or (2) the date 24 months prior to the date of the event that may constitute a Change in Control. 
  
 For purposes of subsection (d)(ii) above, the term “person” shall
have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude (1) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary and (2) a
corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Stock. 
  
 Any other provision of this Section 2(d) notwithstanding, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the
state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction, and a Change in Control
shall not be deemed to occur if the Company files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial offering of Stock to the public.

Section 11) on the first business day after his or her election to the Board of Directors. One-third of the Shares subject to each Option granted under this Section 4(b)(i) shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of
grant. The balance of the Shares subject to such Option (i.e., the remaining three-quarters) shall vest and become exercisable monthly over a three-year period beginning on the day which is one month after the first anniversary of the date of
grant, at a monthly rate of 2.083 % of the total number of Shares subject to such Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each such Option shall become vested if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company during the Optionee’s
Service. 
  
 (ii) On the first business day
following the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, commencing with the annual meeting occurring after the adoption of the Plan, each Outside Director who was not elected to the Board for the first time at
such meeting and who will continue serving as a member of the Board of Directors thereafter shall receive an Option to purchase 20,000 Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 11), provided that such Outside Director has served on the Board of
Directors for at least six months. Each Option granted under the preceding sentence of this Section 4(b)(ii) shall fully vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that each such Option shall become
exercisable in full immediately prior to the next regular annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following such date of grant in the event such meeting occurs prior to such first anniversary date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Option granted under this Section 4(b)(ii) shall become vested if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company during the Optionee’s Service. 
  
 (iii) The Exercise Price of all Nonstatutory Options granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4(b) shall be equal to 100% of the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, payable in one of the forms described in Section 8(a), (b) or (d). 
  
 (iv) All Nonstatutory Options granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4(b) shall terminate on the earlier of (A) the day before
the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Options or (B) the date twelve months after the termination of such Outside Director’s Service for any reason; provided, however, that any such Options that are not vested upon the termination
of the Outside Director’s Service for any reason shall terminate immediately and may not be exercised.

 (c) Ten-Percent Stockholders. An Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless such grant satisfies the requirements of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code. 
  
 (d) Attribution Rules. For purposes of Section 4(c) above, in
determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such Employee’s brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a
corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned proportionately by or for its stockholders, partners or beneficiaries. 
  
 (e) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Section 4(c) above, “outstanding stock” shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding
immediately after the grant. “Outstanding stock” shall not include shares authorized for issuance under outstanding options held by the Employee or by any other person. 
  
 SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. 
  
 (a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The maximum aggregate number of
Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed 2,876,400 Shares, plus an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the Plan, with the first such increase occurring on
October 1, 2005, in each case in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 500,000 Shares, (ii) 2% of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding year, or (iii) an amount determined by the Board. The limitations of this
Section 5(a) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11. The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for
issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 (b) Option/SAR Limitation. Subject to the provisions of Section 11, no Participant may receive Options or SARs under
the Plan in any calendar year that relate to more than 1,000,000 Shares. 
  
 (c) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs
are forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the 
  

 MULTI-FINELINE ELECTRONIX, INC. 

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -10- 








 corresponding Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units are settled, then only the
number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number available under Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of
Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. 
  
 SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES. 
  
 (a) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the
recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered
into under the Plan need not be identical. 
  
 (b) Payment for
Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past
services and future services. To the extent that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash
equivalents, or past services rendered to the Company (or a Parent or Subsidiary), as the Committee may determine. 
  
 (c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon
satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may
determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares of thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. 
  
 (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares
awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in
additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. 
  

 MULTI-FINELINE ELECTRONIX, INC.

 -11- 








 (e) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all
holders of Shares. 
  
 SECTION 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

  
 (a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an
Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are
not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation. 
  

(b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11. 
  
 (c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise provided in
Section 4(c), and the Exercise Price of an NSO shall not be less 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Option Agreement may specify that the exercise price of an NSO may vary in
accordance with a predetermined formula. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms
described in Section 8. 
  
 (d) Withholding Taxes. As a
condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise.
The Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising
an Option. 
  

 MULTI-FINELINE ELECTRONIX, INC. 

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -12- 








 (e) Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any
installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant (five years for Employees described
in Section 4(c). A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the
termination of the Optionee’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(e),
the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire. 
  
 (f) Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service. Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the
right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or any person who has
acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect
distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service. 
  
 (g) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. 
  
 (h)
Leaves of Absence. An Employee’s Service shall cease when such Employee ceases to be actively employed by, or a Consultant to, the Company (or any subsidiary) as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. For purposes of
Options, Service does not terminate when an Employee goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is
required by applicable law. However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an Employee’s Service will be treated as terminating 90 days after such Employee went on leave, unless such Employee’s right to
return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately returns to active work. The Company determines which leaves count toward Service, and when
Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

 (i) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights
as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 11. 
  
 (j) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new
Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different exercise price, or in return for the grant of the same or a different number of Shares. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without
the consent of the Optionee, adversely affect his or her rights or obligations under such Option. 
  
 (k) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights
of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may
apply to all holders of Shares. 
  
 (l) Buyout Provisions.
The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such
terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish. 
  
 SECTION 8. PAYMENT
FOR SHARES. 
  
 (a) General Rule. The entire Exercise
Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through Section 8(g) below. 
  
 (b) Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the
new Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the

 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  

 -14- 








 Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial
reporting purposes. 
  
 (c) Services Rendered. At the
discretion of the Committee, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall
make a determination (at the time of the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b). 
  
 (d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by
delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. 
  
 (e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds
to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. 
  
 (f) Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note.
However, the par value of the Common Shares being purchased under the Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. 
  
 (g) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so provides, payment may be made in any other
form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules. 
  
 (h) Limitations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee
in its sole discretion.

 SECTION 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 
  
 (a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and
the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
SARs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation. 
  
 (b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11. 
  
 (c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise
Price. A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding. 
  
 (d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR
Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its
term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included
in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control. 
  
 (e) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the
time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. 
  
 (f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any
person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or

 -16- 








 the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which
the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. 
  
 (g) Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may
accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the holder, may alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR. 
  
 SECTION 10. STOCK UNITS. 
  
 (a) Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the
Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be
identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the recipient’s other compensation. 
  
 (b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award
recipients. 
  
 (c) Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock
Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs
with respect to the Company. 
  
 (d) Voting and Dividend
Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles
the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may 
  
 MULTI-FINELINE ELECTRONIX, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  

 17 








 be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form
of Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Stock Units to which
they attach. 
  
 (e) Form and Time of Settlement of Stock
Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the
number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days.
Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The
amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11. 
  
 (f) Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable
after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form
with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award
recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate. 
  
 (g) Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units
represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 11. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. 
  
 (a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend
payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a

 recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole
discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of: 
  
 (i) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units available for future Awards under Section 5; 
  
 (ii) The limitations set forth in Section 5(a) and (b); 
  
 (iii) The number of NSOs to be granted to Outside Directors under Section 4(b); 
  
 (iv) The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option
and SAR; 
  
 (v) The Exercise Price under each
outstanding Option and SAR; or 
  
 (vi) The
number of Stock Units included in any prior Award which has not yet been settled. 
  
 Except as provided in this Section 11, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of
any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. 
  
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior
to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. 
  
 (c)
Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for: 
  
 (i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the
Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation; 
  
 (ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; 
  
 (iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards; 

 
 (iv) Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated
expiration of the outstanding Awards; or

 (v) Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents
followed by cancellation of such Awards. 
  
 (d) Reservation of
Rights. Except as provided in this Section 11, an Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number
of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number
or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business
structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  
 SECTION 12. DEFERRAL OF AWARDS. 
  
 The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant to: 
  
 (a) Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of
Stock Units credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books; 
  
 (b) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an equal number of
Stock Units; or 
  
 (c) Have Shares that otherwise would be
delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the
Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant. 
  
 A deferred compensation account established under this Section 12 may be
credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall
represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required,
the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 12.

 SECTION 13. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS. 
  
 The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under
this Plan. Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under Section 5. 
  
 SECTION 14. PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR’S FEES IN SECURITIES. 
  
 (a) Effective Date. No provision of this Section 14 shall be
effective unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision. 
  
 (b) Elections to Receive NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. An Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs,
Restricted Shares or Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. Such NSOs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election under this Section 14 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed
form. 
  
 (c) Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or
Stock Units. The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The
terms of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall also be determined by the Board. 
  
 SECTION 15. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. 
  
 Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the approval

 SECTION 16. WITHHOLDING TAXES. 
  
 (a) General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her
successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the
Plan until such obligations are satisfied. 
  
 (b) Share
Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by
surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld
that would otherwise be issued to him or her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the legally required minimum tax withholding. 
  
 SECTION 17. TRANSFERABILITY.
