 Article III—Participation 
 3.1 Eligibility. For each Performance Period, the Committee will determine, in its discretion, which senior executive officers and key employees, who are in a position to influence the Company’s success,
will participate in this Program. Absent a determination to the contrary, it shall be assumed that the Executive Officers will be Participants. 
 3.2 New
hires and changes in position. Individuals hired or promoted during a Performance Period into a position appropriate for participation in this Program may either participate in the already existing period on a pro-rated basis or be held out
until the beginning of the next Performance Period. Each Participant who transfers into a position no longer appropriate for participation in this Program may either continue to participate in the already existing Performance Period, participate on
a pro-rated basis up to the date of the transfer or cease participation for the entire Performance Period. The Committee, the chief executive officer or his delegated officer (as appropriate) shall make all such determinations in their respective
sole discretion. 
 3.3 Terminations. Participants who terminate their employment during the Performance Period or prior to the payment of the award
may be entitled to a prorated award if such termination is by reason of death, disability, retirement or involuntary termination without cause, all as determined in accordance with the Company’s normal policies, any applicable employment
agreement or as the Committee, the chief executive officer or his delegated officer (as appropriate) determines. Participants who terminate employment during the Performance Period or prior to the payment of the award for any other reason will
forfeit their award under this Program, unless the Committee, the chief executive officer or his delegated officer (as appropriate) determines otherwise. 
 Article IV—Payment of Award 
 4.1 Determining amount of the award. Subject to Article V, the Committee
will determine each Participant’s Performance Goals for an applicable Performance Period, including any threshold, target or maximum amounts applicable to the award. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the
award that each Participant earned based on the Participant’s achievement of the Performance Goals. Each award shall be evidenced by a notation on the Company’s books and records and shall be subject to the terms and conditions as the
Committee prescribes in its sole discretion. 
 4.2 Adjustment of awards. Subject to Section 5.4, the Committee may make adjustments in the
Performance Goals to compensate for any changes that significantly alter the basis upon which the goals were determined. The Committee also may make reductions, in its sole discretion, to the amounts of any awards as needed to achieve fair and
equitable distribution of awards. These reductions may be made before or after the end of the Performance Period. The Committee may reduce the amount of an award if a Participant fails to achieve applicable individual objectives or milestones.

 4.3 Timing of payment. Payments of awards will be paid in cash only after the Committee’s approval. Payments will be made no later than two
and one-half months following the end of the applicable Performance Period, unless the Participant defers receipt pursuant to a Company-sponsored deferred compensation plan, arrangement or agreement.

achievement of one or more Performance Goals set forth in Section 5.2 that the Committee shall generally establish within 90 days of the commencement of the applicable Performance Period; provided that the outcome of the Performance
Goals is substantially uncertain at the time the Performance Goals are established, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Tax Code Section 162(m).

 The Committee, at the time the applicable Performance Goals are established, may provide that the formula for the
goals may include or exclude items to measure specific objectives, such as losses from discontinued operations, extraordinary gains or losses, the cumulative effect of accounting changes, acquisitions or divestitures, foreign exchange impacts and
any unusual, nonrecurring gain, loss or expense, even if such inclusions or exclusions are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or in accordance with those principles on an inconsistent basis. 
 5.3 Maximum payment. The maximum aggregate amount of any performance-based compensation award that the Company or its subsidiaries may pay in any one calendar
year to a Participant who is a “covered employee” subject to Tax Code Section 162(m) shall not exceed $5 million. 
 5.4 Adjustments.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Program to the contrary, with respect to any award that is subject to provisions of this Article V, the Committee may not adjust upwards the amount of an award payable, nor may it waive the achievement of the
applicable Performance Goals, except to the extent that Tax Code Section 162(m) permits.

 5.5 Other restrictions. The Committee shall have the power to impose any other restrictions on awards subject to
Article V as it may deem necessary or appropriate to insure that such awards satisfy all requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Tax Code Section 162(m). 
 Article VI—General Provisions 
 6.1
Non-transferability. Except as the Committee specifies, a Participant’s rights and interests under this Program shall not be in any manner subject to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge prior to the
Participant’s actual receipt of payment of any award; and any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge prior to receipt shall be void. 
 6.2 Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all awards any taxes or other withholdings that the law requires to be withheld with respect to awards. 
 6.3 Compliance with Section 409A. The payments under this Program are intended to constitute a short-term deferral payments within the meaning of proposed Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4) and to be
exempt from Tax Code Section 409A . To the extent applicable, the Committee shall interpret and construe this Program in accordance with Tax Code Section 409A and the regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder. In
carrying out such intent, the Committee may take any and all action it determines is necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the payments under this Program and/or to comply with Tax Code Section 409A . 
 6.4 No guarantee of employment. Nothing in this Program or any action taken because of this Program will confer upon any Participant the right to be retained in
the service of the Company nor limit the right of the Company to discharge or otherwise deal with any Participant without regard to the existence of this Program. 
 6.5 Amendment and termination. The Committee (or full Board of Directors of the Company) may terminate, amend or modify this Program at anytime without notice to or consent of any Participant. All awards are purely discretionary in
the judgment of the Committee. This Program does not constitute a promise or agreement as to either the payment or amount of any award. 
 6.6 References,
construction and interpretation. As used in this Program, references to “including” mean, “including (without limitation)”; to “persons” include both natural and legal entities; to the masculine, include the
feminine and neutral (and vice versa); and to the singular include the plural (and vice versa). The headings in this Program are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret or construe this Program.
