for delivery pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall be
[        ]1
Shares. Shares awarded under the Plan may be; authorized but unissued Shares, authorized and issued Shares reacquired and held as treasury Shares or a combination thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law or exchange rules, Shares issued in
assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall not reduce the Shares available for grants of Awards under this Section 4.1. The
maximum number of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be granted shall be [        ]. No more than [0.9]% of the Shares reserved for issuance hereunder shall, in the aggregate, be
granted to Members of the Board who are not employees of the Company or any Subsidiary or any Independent Contractor or advisor of the Company or any Subsidiary, with the balance of such shares to be granted to employees of the Company or any
Subsidiary (the “Management Pool”). By no later than the third anniversary of the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, all Shares in the Management Pool shall be subject to an outstanding Award or have
been delivered pursuant to the settlement of an Award. 
 4.2 Lapsed Awards. To the extent that Shares subject to an
outstanding Option (except to the extent Shares are issued or delivered by the Company in connection with the exercise of a tandem SAR) or other Award are not issued or delivered by reason of (i) the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or
other termination of such Award, (ii) the withholding of such Shares in satisfaction of applicable federal, state or local taxes or (iii) of the settlement of all or a portion of such Award in cash, then such Shares shall again be
available under this Plan. All such Shares subject to an Award made to an Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be included within the Shares considered to be in the Management Pool. 

4.3 Changes in Capital Structure. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event that any extraordinary dividend
or other extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase,
change of control or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other corporate transaction or event (each a “Corporate Event”) affects the Shares, the Board shall, in such manner as it in good faith deems equitable,
adjust any or all of (i) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company
(or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the Exercise Price or Base Price with respect to any Award, or make provision for an immediate cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in
consideration for the cancellation of such Award. 
 4.3.1 If the Company enters into or is involved in any Corporate Event, the
Board may, prior to such Corporate Event and upon such Corporate Event, take such action as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, replacing Awards with substitute awards in respect of the Shares, other securities or other property of
the surviving corporation or any affiliate of the surviving corporation on such terms and conditions, as to the number of Shares, pricing and otherwise, which shall substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected Awards granted
hereunder as of the date of the consummation of the Corporate Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if a Change in Control occurs, with respect to clauses (a), (d) and (e) of such definition only, the Company shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to cancel each Participant’s Awards immediately prior to such Change in Control and to pay to each affected Participant in connection with the cancellation of such Participant’s Awards, an amount
equal that the Committee, in its sole 
  

	1 	 Represents ten point forty-five percent (10.45%0 of common shares on a fully diluted basis as determined on emergence plus creditors shares of Board
grants. 









 
discretion, in good faith determines to be the equivalent value of such Award (e.g., in the case of an Option or SAR, the amount of the spread), it being understood that the equivalent value of
an Option or SAR with an exercise price greater than or equal to the fair market value of the underlying Shares shall be $0. 

4.3.2 Upon receipt by any affected Participant of any such substitute awards (or payment) as a result of any such Corporate Event, such
Participant’s affected Awards for which such substitute awards (or payment) were received shall be thereupon cancelled without the need for obtaining the consent of any such affected Participant. Any actions or determinations of the Committee
under this Section 4.3 need not be uniform as to all outstanding Awards, nor treat all Participants identically. 
 4.3.3
If the Company (i) makes distributions (by dividend or otherwise), (ii) grants rights to purchase securities, or (iii) issues securities, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) at a price below Fair Market Value, and in each
case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), (an “Extraordinary Distribution”), then, to reflect such Extraordinary Distribution, (A) SARs and Options shall be adjusted to retain the pre-Extraordinary Distribution spread by
decreasing the base price or exercise price of such SAR and Option awards, respectively, or, if the SAR base price or Option exercise price, as adjusted, would be less than twenty-five (25%) of the value of the Company’s common stock
post-Extraordinary Distribution, holders will be granted dividend equivalent rights for the balance of the lost spread, such rights to be payable in cash when the applicable SAR or Option award vests and (B) holders of Stock Awards will be
granted dividend equivalent rights payable in cash when the applicable Stock Award vests. 
 4.4 Minimum Purchase Price.

to pay all taxes required to be withheld by any governmental agency. Such payment may be in any form approved by the Committee. 

7.6 Method of Exercise. Options shall be exercised in whole or in part by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of
exercise to the General Counsel of the Company (or his or her designee), setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price with respect to each such Share and an
amount sufficient to pay all taxes required to be withheld by any governmental agency. The Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent and no Shares resulting from the exercise of an Option shall be issued until
full payment therefore has been made. The Committee, in its sole discretion, also may permit exercise (a) by tendering previously acquired Shares or (b) by any other means which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to both
provide legal consideration for the Shares, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised,
the Company shall deliver to the Participant Share certificates (or the equivalent if such Shares are held in book entry form) for such Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. 

7.7 Early Exercise. The Committee may provide that an Option include a provision whereby the Participant may elect at any time
before the Participant’s Termination to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the Shares subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option and such Shares shall be subject to the provisions of Article VIII and treated as
Restricted Stock. Any unvested Shares so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Committee determines to be appropriate. 

7.8 Restrictions on Share Transferability. Incentive Stock Options are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent.
The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, restrictions related to applicable federal securities laws, the requirements
of any national securities exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded, or any blue sky or state securities laws. 
 7.9 Cashing Out of Option. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, on receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of the Shares
for which an Option is being exercised by paying the optionee an amount, in cash or Shares, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares over the option price times the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised on the
effective date of such cash-out. 
 7.10 Certain Powers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless
otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, the Committee may, at its sole and absolute discretion, (i) lower the strike price of an Option after it is granted, or take any other action with the effect of lowering the strike price of an Option
after it is granted or (ii) permit Participants to cancel an Option in exchange for another Award. 
 7.11 Incentive
Stock Options. Should any Option granted under this Plan be designated an “Incentive Stock Option,” but fail, for any reason, to meet the requirements of the Code for such a designation, then such Option shall be deemed to be a
Non-Qualified Stock Option and shall be valid as such according to its terms. 







 ARTICLE VIII STOCK AWARDS 

8.1 Grant of Stock Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Stock Awards may be granted to such Participants at such times,
and subject to such terms and conditions, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Stock Awards may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. 

8.2 Stock Award Agreement. Each Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of Shares
granted, the price, if any, to be paid for the Shares and the Period of Restriction applicable to a Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 

8.3 Acceptance. Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Committee may specify)
after the grant date, by executing a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the Committee has designated thereunder. 
 8.4 Transferability/Share Certificates. Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated during a Period of
Restriction. During the Period of Restriction, a Restricted Stock Award may be registered in the holder’s name or a nominee’s name at the discretion of the Company and may bear a legend as described in Section 8.5.2. Unless the
Committee determines otherwise, shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent during the applicable Period of Restriction, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each
endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event such Award is
forfeited in whole or part. 
 8.5 Other Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such other
restrictions on Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate. 
 8.5.1 General
Restrictions. The Committee may set restrictions based upon applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion. 
 8.5.2 Legend on Certificates. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock during the Period of Restriction to give appropriate notice of such
restrictions. For example, the Committee may determine that some or all certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock shall bear the following legend: “The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this certificate,
whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Masonite Worldwide Holdings Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and in a Restricted Stock Award
Agreement (as defined by the Plan). A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock Award Agreement may be obtained from the General Counsel of Masonite Worldwide Holdings Inc.” 

8.6 Removal of Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award made under the Plan shall be released
from escrow as soon as practicable after the termination of the Period of Restriction and, subject to the Company’s right to require payment of any taxes, a certificate or certificates evidencing ownership of the requisite number of Shares
shall be delivered to the Participant. 
 8.7 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding
Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. 







 8.8 Dividends and Other Distributions. Unless otherwise provided in the Award
Agreement, Participants shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Stock Awards provided, that any such dividends or other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying
Stock Awards and shall be paid at the time the Stock Award becomes vested. If any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and
forfeitability as the Stock Awards with respect to which they were paid. 
 ARTICLE IX STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 9.1 Grant of SARs. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to such Participants at such times,
and subject to such terms and conditions, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 9.2 Base Price
and Other Terms. The Committee, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Base Price with respect to Shares
subject to a tandem SAR shall be the same as the Exercise Price with respect to the Shares subject to the related Option. 
 9.3
SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Base Price (which shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date), the term of the
SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 

9.4 Expiration Dates. Each SAR shall terminate no later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its Grant Date; provided,
however, that the expiration date with respect to a tandem SAR shall not be later than the expiration date of the related Option. 
 9.5 Exercisability. 
 9.5.1 Method of Exercise. Unless otherwise
specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to a SAR, a SAR may be exercised (a) by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the General Counsel of the Company (or his or her designee) setting forth the number of whole
SARs which are being exercised, (b) in the case of a tandem SAR, by surrendering to the Company any Options which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of such SAR, and (c) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably
request. 
 9.5.2 Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs (i.e., SARs issued in tandem with Options) shall be exercisable only at such
time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Article VII. The related Options which have been surrendered by the exercise of a tandem SAR, in whole or in part, shall
no longer be exercisable to the extent the related tandem SARs have been exercised. 
 9.5.3 Discretionary Limitations.
If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any such right is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that it is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such
limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such right may be exercised), based on such
factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, in the event that a written employment agreement between the Company and a Participant provides for a vesting schedule that
is more favorable than the vesting schedule provided in the form of Award agreement, the vesting schedule in such employment agreement shall govern, provided that such agreement is in effect on the date of grant and applicable to the specific Award.








 9.6 Payment. Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, upon
exercise of a SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: (i) the amount by which the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the Base Price specified
in the Award Agreement pertaining to such SAR by (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. 

9.7 Payment Upon Exercise of SAR. Payment to a Participant upon the exercise of the SAR shall be made, as determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion, either (a) in cash, (b) in Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the payment or (c) in a combination thereof, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 

ARTICLE X PERFORMANCE AWARDS 
 10.1 General. The Committee may grant a Performance Award to the Participant, payable in any form described in Section 6.1, upon the attainment of specific Performance Goals. If the
Performance Award is payable in shares of Restricted Stock, such shares shall be transferable to the Participant only upon attainment of the relevant Performance Goal in accordance with Article VIII. If the Performance Award is payable in cash, it
may be paid upon attainment of the relevant Performance Goals either in cash or in shares of Restricted Stock (based on the then current Fair Market Value of such Shares), as determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. Each
Performance Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form that is not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Committee may from time to time approve. Performance Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms
and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable, which additional terms and conditions shall be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. 

10.2 Performance Goals. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, the Committee shall have the authority to grant Awards
under this Plan that are contingent upon the achievement of Performance Goals. Such Performance Goals are to be specified in the relevant Award Agreement and may be based on such factors including, but not limited to: (a) revenue,
(b) earnings per Share (basic and diluted), (c) net income per Share, (d) Share price, (e) pre-tax profits, (f) net earnings, (g) net income, (h) operating income, (i) cash flow (including, without limitation,
operating cash flow, free cash flow, discounted cash flow, return on investment and cash flow in excess of cost of capital), (j) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (k) earnings before interest and taxes,
(l) sales, (m) total stockholder return relative to assets, (n) total stockholder return relative to peers, (o) financial returns (including, without limitation, return on assets, return on net assets, return on equity and return
on investment), (p) cost reduction targets, (q) customer satisfaction, (r) customer growth, (s) employee satisfaction, (t) gross margin, (u) revenue growth, (v) market share, (w) book value per share,

foregoing or (dd) such other criteria as the Committee may determine. Performance Goals may be in respect of the performance of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any combination thereof on either a consolidated, business unit or
divisional level. Performance Goals may be absolute or relative (to prior performance of the Company or to the performance of one or more other entities or external indices) and may be expressed in terms of a progression within a specified range.
Multiple Performance Goals may be established and may have the same or different weighting. 







 10.3 Additional Criteria. The foregoing criteria shall have any reasonable
definitions that the Committee may specify, which may include or exclude any or all of the following items, as the Committee may specify: extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items; effects of accounting changes; effects of currency fluctuations;
effects of financing activities (e.g., effect on earnings per share of issuing convertible debt securities); expenses for restructuring, productivity initiatives or new business initiatives; non-operating items; acquisition expenses; and effects of
divestitures. Any such performance criterion or combination of such criteria may apply to the Participant’s award opportunity in its entirety or to any designated portion or portions of the award opportunity, as the Committee may specify.

 10.4 Adjustment to Performance Goals. At any time prior to payment of an Award, the Committee may adjust previously
established Performance Goals and other terms and conditions of the Award to reflect major unforeseen events, including, without limitation, changes in laws, regulations or accounting policies or procedures, mergers, acquisitions or divestitures or
extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items. 
 10.5 Value, Form and Payment of Performance Award. The Committee will
establish the value or range of value of the Performance Award, the form in which the Award will be paid, and the date(s) and timing of payment of the Award. The Participant will be entitled to receive the Performance Award only upon the attainment
of the Performance Goals and such other criteria as may be prescribed by the Committee during the Performance Period. 

ARTICLE XI OTHER STOCK AWARDS 
 11.1 Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Other Stock-Based Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related
to Shares, including, but not limited to, Shares awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, Shares in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or a
Subsidiary, performance units, dividend equivalent units, stock equivalent units, and deferred stock units. To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Eligible Individuals to defer all or a portion of their
cash compensation in the form of Other Stock-Based Awards granted under this Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of any deferred compensation arrangement established by the Company, which shall be intended to comply with Section 409A of
the Code. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. 
 11.2 Non-Transferability. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award agreement and this Plan, Shares subject to Awards made under this Article XI may not be Transferred prior to the date on
which the Shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period lapses. 

11.3 Dividends. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of Award, subject to the provisions of the Award
agreement and this Plan, the recipient of an Award under this Article XI shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Award provided, that any such dividends or other distributions will be subject to
the same vesting requirements as the underlying Award and shall be paid at the time the Award becomes vested. If any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same
restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which they were paid. 







 11.4 Vesting. Any Award under this Article XI and any Shares covered by any such
Award shall vest or be forfeited to the extent so provided in the Award agreement, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Unless expressly provided otherwise in an Award Agreement, in the event that a written employment agreement
between the Company and a Participant provides for a vesting schedule that is more favorable than the vesting schedule provided in the form of Award agreement, the vesting schedule in such employment agreement shall govern, provided that such
agreement is in effect on the date of grant and applicable to the specific Award. 
 11.5 Price. Shares issued on a bonus
basis under this Article XI may be issued for no cash consideration; Shares purchased pursuant to a purchase right awarded under this Article XI shall be priced, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

11.6 Payment. The form of payment for the Other Stock-Based Award shall be specified in the Award agreement. 

ARTICLE XII PARTICIPANT TERMINATION 
 12.1 Rules Applicable to Options and SARs. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement (or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter):

 12.1.1 Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. If a Participant’s Termination is by reason of death or
Disability, all Options or SARs that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or, in the case of death, by the legal representative of the
Participant’s estate) at any time within a one-year period from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Options or SARs; provided, however, if the Participant dies within such exercise
period, all unexercised Options or SARs held by such Participant shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which they were exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one year from the date of such death, but in no event beyond the
expiration of the stated term of such Options or SARs. 
 12.1.2 Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason. If a
Participant’s Termination is by involuntary termination without Cause or for Good Reason, all Options or SARs that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised
by the Participant at any time within a period of 90 days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Options or SARs. 
 12.1.3 Termination without Good Reason. If a Participant’s Termination is without Good Reason, all Options or SARs that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time
of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of 90 days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated terms of such Options or SARs. 

12.1.4 Termination for Cause. If a Participant’s Termination is for Cause all Options or SARs, whether vested or unvested,
that are held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination. 
 12.1.5 Unvested
Options and SARs. Except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, Options or SARs that are not vested as of the date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.








 12.2 Rules Applicable to Stock Awards, Performance Awards and Other Stock-Based
Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement (or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter), upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason: (i) during the relevant Restriction
Period, all Stock Awards still subject to restriction shall be forfeited; and (ii) any unvested Performance Award or Other Stock-Based Awards shall be forfeited. 
 ARTICLE XIII CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 Unless otherwise provided in an Award
Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, unless the right to accelerated vesting, the lapse of restrictions or risks of forfeiture, or accelerated delivery or receipt of cash provided for herein is waived or deferred by a Participant and the
Company by written notice prior to the Change in Control, all restrictions and risks of forfeiture on Awards (other than those imposed by law or regulation) shall lapse, and all deferral or vesting periods relating to Awards shall immediately
expire. In the event of a Change in Control, the Board can unilaterally implement or negotiate a procedure with any party to the Change in Control pursuant to which all Participants’ unexercised Options may be cashed out as part of the purchase
transaction, without requiring exercise, for the difference between the purchase price and the Exercise Price. 
 ARTICLE XIV
AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND DURATION 
 14.1 Amendment, Suspension or Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion,
may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, Section 422 of the
Code and the rules of the applicable securities exchange; provided, however, the Board may amend the Plan and any Award Agreement without shareholder approval as necessary to avoid the imposition of any taxes under Section 409A of the Code.
Subject to the preceding sentence, the amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, materially adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such
Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, amend or modify any Award to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code. The Company intends to administer
the Plan and all Awards granted thereunder in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A, however, the Company shall not be responsible for any additional tax imposed pursuant to Code Section 409A, nor will the Company indemnify or
otherwise reimburse Participant for any liability incurred as a result of Code Section 409A. No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. Section 15.8.2 and the provisions of the Plan dealing
with the Management Pool or Awards in respect of the Management Pool may not be amended without the consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 
 14.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall, subject to Section 14.1, terminate ten (10) years after adoption by the Board, unless earlier terminated by the Board and no further Awards
shall be granted under the Plan. The termination of the Plan shall not affect any Awards granted prior to the termination of the Plan. 
 ARTICLE XV MISCELLANEOUS 
 15.1 No Effect on Employment or Service.
Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without cause. 

15.2 Participation. No person shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so
selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. The Committee’s determination under the Plan (including, without limitation, determination of the eligible Employees who shall be granted Awards, the form,








 
amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of Awards and the Awards Agreements and the establishment of Performance Goals) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively
among eligible Employees who receive or are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, ether or not such eligible Employees are similarly situated. 
 15.3 Unfunded Status. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the
Company, nothing set forth herein shall give any Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements
to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the
Plan. 
 15.4 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall
be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. 

15.5 Beneficiary Designations. Subject to the restrictions in Section 15.6 below, a Participant under the Plan may name a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. For purposes of this Section, a beneficiary may include a designated trust having as its primary beneficiary a family member
of a Participant. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits
remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of the Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any unexercised vested Award may be exercised by the administrator or
executor of the Participant’s estate. 
 15.6 Nontransferability of Awards. No Award granted under the Plan may be
sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that except as provided by in the relevant Award Agreement, a Participant may transfer,
without consideration, an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option to one or more members of his or her Immediate Family, to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of one or more members of his or her Immediate Family, to a partnership in
which all the partners are members of his or her Immediate Family, or to a limited liability company in which all the members are members of his or her Immediate Family; provided, further, that any such Immediate Family, and any such trust,
partnership and limited liability company, shall agree to be and shall be bound by the terms of the Plan, and by the terms and provisions of the applicable Award Agreement and any other agreements covering the transferred Awards. All rights with
respect to an Award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant and may be exercised only by the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative. 

15.7 No Rights as Shareholder. Except to the limited extent provided in Sections 8.7 and 8.8, no Participant (nor any beneficiary)
shall have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), unless and until certificates representing such Shares, if any, or in the event the Shares are
non-certificate, such other method of recording beneficial ownership, shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Participant (or beneficiary). 







 15.8 Withholding. 

15.8.1 General. As a condition to the settlement of any Award hereunder, a Participant shall be required to pay in cash, or to make
other arrangements satisfactory to the Company (including, without limitation, authorizing withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant), an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any
kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Award.
Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate or book-entry transfer for such Shares. 
 15.8.2 Shares Not Publicly Traded. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15.8.1, in the event the Shares are not listed for trading on an established securities exchange on the
date an Award is required to be settled then the Company shall, at the request of the Participant, deduct or withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld to satisfy any federal, state, local and
foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with
respect to such Award. 
 15.8.3 Company Election to Pay Cash. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless
otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event that the settlement of any Award is to be made in Shares and such settlement would result in the Company having more than 290 shareholders, then the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion,
may elect to settle such Award in cash. 
 15.8.4 Withholding Arrangements. The Committee, in its sole discretion and
pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award by (a) paying cash, (b) having the Company withhold
otherwise deliverable Shares, (c) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax obligation, or (d) any combination of the foregoing. 

15.9 No Corporate Action Restriction. The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreement and/or the Awards granted hereunder shall not
limit, affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or
Affiliate’s capital structure or business, (b) any merger, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead
of or affecting the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s capital stock or the rights thereof, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any
part of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s assets or business, or (f) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. No Participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have
any claim against any Member of the Board or the Committee, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any employees, officers, shareholders or agents of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as a result of any such action. 

15.10 Conditions and Restrictions on Shares. Each Participant to whom an Award is made under the Plan shall (i) enter into an Award Agreement
with the Company that shall contain such provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be approved by the Committee and (ii) to the extent the Award is made at a time prior to the date Shares are listed for trading on an established
securities exchange, enter into a “Stockholder’s Agreement” that is substantially similar in all material respect to 







 
any stockholder’s agreement entered into by any other employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Award of any equity-based compensation. Each Award made hereunder
shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the exercise or settlement of such Award or the delivery of Shares thereunder, such Award shall not be exercised or settled and
such Shares shall not be delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company may require that
certificates evidencing Shares delivered pursuant to any Award made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and the rules and regulations thereunder. Finally, no Shares shall be issued and delivered under the Plan, unless the issuance and delivery of those Shares shall comply with all relevant regulations and any registration, approval or action
thereunder. 
 15.11 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein
also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 15.12
Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan or of any Award Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan or the Award Agreement, and the Plan
and/or the Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

15.13 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 
 15.14 Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the securities laws of the United States, shall be
governed by the law of the State of Florida and construed accordingly.
