	1.	PURPOSE OF PLAN 

 The purpose of this Plan is to promote the success of the Company by
providing a select group of management and highly compensated employees an opportunity to defer salary and bonuses as an additional means to attract, motivate and retain such employees. Only Eligible Employees (as defined herein) are eligible to
participate in this Plan. 
  

	2.	DEFINITIONS

“Beneficiary” or “Beneficiaries” shall mean the person or persons, including a trustee, personal representative or other
fiduciary, last designated in writing by a Participant in accordance with procedures established by the Committee to receive the benefits specified hereunder in the event of the Participant’s death. No beneficiary designation shall become
effective until it is filed with the Committee, and no beneficiary designation of someone other than the Participant’s spouse shall be effective unless such designation is consented to by the Participant’s spouse on a form provided by and
in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. If there is no Beneficiary designation in effect, or if there is no surviving designated Beneficiary, then the Participant’s surviving spouse shall be the Beneficiary. If there is
no surviving spouse to receive any benefits payable in accordance with the preceding sentence, the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant’s estate (which shall include either the Participant’s
probate estate or living trust) shall be the Beneficiary. In any case where there is no such personal representative of the Participant’s estate duly appointed and acting in that capacity within 90 days after the Participant’s death (or
such extended period as the Committee determines is reasonably necessary to allow such personal representative to be appointed, but not to exceed 180 days after the Participant’s death), then “Beneficiary” shall mean the person or
persons who can verify by affidavit or court order to the satisfaction of the Committee that they are legally entitled to receive the benefits specified hereunder. In the event any amount is payable under this Plan to a minor, payment shall not be
made to the minor, but instead be paid (a) to that person’s living parent(s) to act as custodian, (b) if that person’s parents are then divorced, and one parent is the sole custodial parent, to such custodial parent, or
(c) if no

parent of that person is then living, to a custodian selected by the Committee to hold the funds for the minor under the Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Act in effect in the jurisdiction in
which the minor resides. If no parent is living and the Committee decides not to select another custodian to hold the funds for the minor, then payment shall be made to the duly appointed and currently acting guardian of the estate for the minor or,
if no guardian of the estate for the minor is duly appointed and currently acting within 60 days after the date the amount becomes payable, payment shall be deposited with the court having jurisdiction over the estate of the minor.

of voting stock owned by any other Person who is not an Excluded Person (except for any person described in and satisfying the conditions of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), if any, and who owns more than 30% of the voting stock; or


  

	 	(c)	Approval by the Board and (if required by law) by shareholders of the Company of a plan to consummate the dissolution or complete liquidation of the Company; or

	 	(a)	Any percentage of Salary up to 90%; and/or 

  

	 	(b)	Any percentage of Bonus up to 100%;

12-month period. 
 4.3 Initial Salary Deferral Election. An individual who is a Participant as of the Effective
Date may elect to defer his or her Salary (a “Salary Deferral Election”) by filing an initial election with the Committee, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Committee, on or before the last business day prior to the Effective
Date. Such election shall be effective with respect to Salary paid on or after the first day of the first payroll period commencing on or after the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.6, such election shall
continue in effect with respect to Salary payable through the end of the calendar year for which the election is made, and except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.6, deferral of Salary for any subsequent calendar year shall require a
new Salary Deferral Election pursuant to Section 4.4. 
 4.4 Subsequent Salary Deferral Elections. An Eligible
Employee selected in accordance with Section 3 may defer (or may again defer) Salary (provided that he or she is then still eligible to participate in this Plan in accordance with Section 3) by filing an election, on a form and in a manner
prescribed by the Committee. Such election must be received by the Committee on or before the date designated by the Committee, which shall not be later than the December 31 preceding the year for which such Salary is to be deferred. Such
Salary Deferral Election shall be effective with respect to Salary paid on or after the first day of the first payroll period commencing on or after the following January 1. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.6, such
election shall continue in effect with respect to Salary payable through the end of the calendar year for which the election is made, and deferral of Salary for any subsequent calendar year shall require a new Salary Deferral Election pursuant to
this Section 4.4.

 4.5 Bonus Deferral Election. An individual who is or will be a Participant
as of the beginning of any Fiscal Year commencing on or after May 1, 2004, may make a Bonus Deferral Election with respect to his or her Bonus for such Fiscal Year by filing an election with the Committee, on a form and in a manner prescribed
by the Committee. Such election must be received by the Committee on or before the date designated by the Committee, which shall not be later than the last business day prior to the beginning of such Fiscal Year; provided, however, that with respect
to any portion of such Bonus that is “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, such election must be received by the Committee no later than the date that
is six (6) months before the end of the applicable performance period, provided that in no event may an election to defer such performance-based compensation be made after such compensation has become both substantially certain to be paid and
readily ascertainable. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.6, any such Bonus Deferral Election shall apply only to the Bonus payable with respect to the Fiscal Year for which the election is made, and deferral of Bonus for any
subsequent Fiscal Year shall require a new Bonus Deferral Election pursuant to this Section 4.5. 
 4.6 Duration of Salary
and Bonus Deferral Elections. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and announced in writing to the Participants, any Salary Deferral Election or Bonus Deferral Election shall remain in force only through the applicable periods set
forth in Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5. However, at its discretion, the Committee may provide for “evergreen” elections, as described in this Section 4.6. Any such determination to provide evergreen elections shall be announced in writing
to Participants. If the Committee provides for evergreen elections as set forth in this Section 4.6, then notwithstanding Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5, any Salary Deferral Election or Bonus Deferral Election made under this Section 4 shall
remain in effect, notwithstanding any change in the Participant’s Salary or Bonus, as applicable, until changed or terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.6. Subject to the limitations of Section 4.1 and the minimum
deferral requirements of Section 4.2, a Participant may increase, decrease or terminate his or her Salary Deferral Election, effective with respect to Salary paid on or after the first day of the first payroll period commencing on or after
January 1, by filing a new election, in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 and on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Committee. Such election must be received by the Committee on or before the date designated by the

however, that the entire amount of such Bonus may be deferred (subject to Section 4.1) if such Bonus is “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder and
such Bonus Deferral Election otherwise satisfies the applicable requirements set forth in Section 4.5. 

  

	 	(b)	Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.6, any Salary Deferral Election filed pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall continue in effect with respect to Salary payable through the end of the calendar year for
which the election is made, and except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.6, deferral of Salary for any subsequent calendar year shall require a new Salary Deferral Election pursuant to Section 4.4. Except as otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 4.6, any Bonus Deferral Election filed pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall apply only to the Bonus payable with respect to the Fiscal Year for which the election is made, and except as otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 4.6, deferral of Bonus for any subsequent Fiscal Year shall require a new Bonus Deferral Election pursuant to Section 4.5. 

  

	5.	COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS 

 5.1 Company Contributions. At the conclusion
of each Fiscal Year, the Committee may determine, in its sole and complete discretion, to credit additional amounts to one or more Participants’ Company Contributions Accounts under this Plan. Any amounts credited under this Section 5.1
need not be made to all Participants’ Accounts, and such additional amounts as are credited, if any, need not be credited in equal amounts or percentages. The Committee shall have sole and complete discretion in determining the basis for the
crediting of additional amounts under this Section 5.1, including, without limitation, the authority to award such amounts on an individual or group basis and/or as a Company Matching Contribution or a Company Performance Contribution. Any
amount credited pursuant to this Section 5.1 with respect to a Fiscal Year shall be credited to the Participant’s Company Contributions Account as of the date or dates determined by the Committee. Nothing contained in this Section 5.1
shall be deemed to impose or constitute any obligation on the Committee, the Company or any Subsidiary to make any credit hereunder. 

  
 9 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in connection with an express written agreement between
the Company and a Participant, the Committee may credit such Participant’s Company Contributions Account with the amount of a contribution made by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.1 as of any date selected by the Company. For all
purposes under this Plan, any such contribution shall be deemed to relate to the Fiscal Year in which the date selected by the Company occurs. 

5.2 Annual Company Contribution Subaccounts. Company Contributions made to a Participant’s Account pursuant to
Section 5.1 with respect to a Fiscal Year shall be allocated to a separate Annual Company Contribution Subaccount. Such subaccounts shall be maintained for purposes of determining the Participant’s vested interest in such contributions as
provided under Section 7. 
 5.3 Forfeiture; Detrimental Activity. A Participant’s rights with respect to any
Company Contribution and any investment return credited thereto, whether vested or unvested, shall terminate, become null and void, and be immediately forfeited if (i) the Participant’s employment ends as a result of a Termination for
Cause, or (ii) the Participant engages in any Detrimental Activity, whether before or within the one-year period after his or her employment or services with the Company (or a Subsidiary) terminates. In the event that the Committee determines
that a Participant has engaged in Detrimental Activity at any time during his or her employment by the Company or a Subsidiary or within the one-year period following his or her Termination Date, any amounts distributed at any time to such
Participant with respect to any Company Contribution (and any investment return credited thereto) shall be immediately refunded to the Company (or Subsidiary) by the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary. Determinations of whether
(i) a Participant’s employment has ended as a result of a Termination for Cause, and (ii) a Participant has engaged in Detrimental Activity shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

 

	6.	INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS 

 6.1 Investment Funds. Effective as of the
date established by the Committee, separate Investment Funds shall be established under this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, terminate any Investment Fund. The Committee shall determine the number of Investment Funds, and the Committee
or its delegate shall determine the investments to be made under the Investment Funds. 
 6.2 Investment Elections.
Pursuant to rules established by the Committee, each Participant shall have the right and obligation to designate in which of the Investment Funds his or her Accounts will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the investment gain (or
loss) to be credited to his or her Accounts. A Participant may change the designation made under this Section 6.2 and/or transfer an amount deemed to be invested in one Investment Fund to another Investment Fund (subject to such rules as the
Committee may adopt) on any business day pursuant to procedures established by the Committee. The Committee may restrict the frequency by which Participants are permitted to make changes to their designations of Investment Funds and may establish


  
 10 








 
rules regarding the timing and effectiveness of such elections. If a Participant does not make an election with respect to the investment of his or her Account, the Participant shall be deemed to
have elected the short term interest fund or the fund closest thereto. The Committee may establish other rules, regulations and procedures regarding the Investment Funds as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. 

 

	7.	VESTING. 

 7.1 Deferral Account. A Participant’s Deferral
Account shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable at all times. 
 7.2 Company Contributions Account. The interest of each
Participant in amounts credited to his or her Company Contributions Account shall vest and become nonforfeitable as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	If a Participant’s employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries terminates due to the Participant’s death or Disability, such Participant shall become 100% vested in all amounts in his or her Company
Contributions Account as of the date of such termination. 

  

	 	(b)	Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, for Company Contributions approved on or after July 1, 2013, a Participant shall become vested in each Annual Company Contribution Subaccount in accordance
with the schedule determined by the Committee; it is expected that such schedule shall provide: 

  

	 	•	 	25% as of approximately one month following the first anniversary of the date on which the Committee approves the applicable Company Contribution; 


 

	 	•	 	50% as of approximately the second anniversary of the date on which the Committee approves the applicable Company Contribution; 

  

	 	•	 	75% as of approximately the third anniversary of the date on which the Committee approves the applicable Company Contribution; and 

  

	 	•	 	100% as of approximately the fourth anniversary of the date on which the Committee approves the applicable Company Contribution. 


For Company Contributions approved prior to January 1, 2014, a Participant shall become vested in each Annual Company Contribution
Subaccount in accordance with the schedule determined by the Company upon approval of such contribution. 
  

	 	(c)	 If a Participant retires with a Termination Date on or after attaining age 65, the Company may, in its discretion, enter into an agreement under which
such Participant may, by refraining from engaging any Detrimental Activity, continue to vest in any portion of the Participant’s Annual Company Contribution Subaccount(s) that was not vested as of such




  
 11 









	 	
Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such vesting following a Termination Date shall not apply to any Participant with a Termination Date before January 1, 2009, and shall not
apply to the extent a vesting schedule under Section 7.2(e) provides that such vesting shall not apply. Any amount that becomes vested under this Section 7.2(c) following a Participant’s Termination Date (i) shall be distributed
as soon as administratively feasible following vesting if the Participant had elected the lump sum distribution option, or (ii) shall be added on a pro-rata basis to each remaining installment payment if the Participant had elected installment
payments. If a Participant referred to in this Section 7.2(c) engages in Detrimental Activity at any time, any unpaid portion of the Participant’s Annual Company Contribution Subaccount(s) that had not been paid as of the first instance of
engaging in such Detrimental Activity shall be forfeited, regardless of whether such portion had previously become vested. 

  

	 	(d)	The Board or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate vesting for a Participant who terminates employment for reasons other than death or Disability prior to attaining age 65. 


 

	 	(e)	The Board or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, for any Participant or group of Participants, establish a vesting schedule different from that set forth in Section 7.2(b) above with respect to any Company
Contributions; provided, however, that any such alternative vesting schedule shall be set forth in writing. 

 Unless otherwise
expressly provided in this Section 7.2, the Participant shall forfeit any amounts credited to his or her Company Contributions Account upon the termination of his or her employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries to the extent that such
amounts have not vested as of the date of such termination of employment. 
  

	8.	DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS 

 8.1 Commencement of Distributions. At the
time of making a Salary and/or Bonus Deferral Election pursuant to Section 4, the Participant shall designate, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Committee, the time at which the Salary and/or Bonus deferred by the Participant with
respect to such deferrals (adjusted for earnings and losses thereon) shall be paid. Any Company Matching Contribution made with respect to such deferrals shall be paid at the same time and in the same form as such deferrals are paid in accordance
with this Section 8; provided, however, that any portion of such Company Matching Contribution that has not vested as of the date such deferrals are paid shall be paid on or as soon as practicable after the date (if any) such portion becomes
vested pursuant to Section 7.2. 
 With respect to deferrals of Salary, the Participant may choose either one of the following payment
dates (or, if installments are elected, payment commencement dates): 
  

	 	(a)	On or as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant’s Termination Date, or 

  

	 	(b)	On or as soon as administratively practicable after the earlier of (i) the Participant’s Termination Date or (ii) the date selected by the Participant which is at least three (3) years following the
end of the calendar year during which the Salary was earned (an “in-service distribution date”). 


  
 12 








 With respect to deferrals of Bonuses, the Participant may choose either one of the following
payment dates (or, if installments are elected, payment commencement dates): 
  

	 	(c)	On or as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant’s Termination Date, or 

  

	 	(d)	On or as soon as administratively practicable after the earlier of (i) the Participant’s Termination Date or (ii) the date selected by the Participant which is at least three (3) years following the
end of the Fiscal Year with respect to which the Bonus was awarded (an “in-service distribution date”). 

 If the
Participant does not make such an election, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected payment on or as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant’s Termination Date. A Participant may make only one payment election for all
Compensation deferred pursuant to any Salary or Bonus Deferral Election. 
 A Participant may elect as many different in-service distribution
dates as desired for his or her Salary and Bonus deferrals under the Plan. A Participant who elects one or more in-service distribution dates may elect the same in-service distribution date or dates for subsequent Salary and Bonus deferrals. If the
in-service distribution date selected by a Participant with respect to any Compensation deferred does not satisfy the requirements of subsections (b)(ii) or (d)(ii) above, then the Participant will be deemed to have elected the next in-service
distribution date that satisfies such requirements. The Committee, in its discretion, may limit the available in-service distribution dates to a specific date or specific dates (such as the first day of a month or quarter); such discretion may be
exercised (among other means) by limiting the available in-service distribution dates on the election forms to be used by Participants. 
 A
Participant may change his or her in-service distribution date elected under Section 8.1(b)(ii) or 8.1(d)(ii) to a later date (but not an earlier date) or the Participant may change his or her election to a Termination Date distribution;
provided (1) that such a change election must be filed with the Committee at least one year prior to the original in-service distribution date, (2) that such a change election will not be effective until at least one year after the date on
which the election is made, (3) that, except in the case of elections related to distributions on account of death, Disability or Unforeseeable Emergency, such a change election shall defer the payment date (or payment commencement date) to a
date that is not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made (or commenced), (4) that such a change election must be made on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Committee, and (5) that a Participant
may make only one such change with respect to Compensation deferred pursuant to any Salary or Bonus Deferral Election. 

  
 13 








 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, a Participant who is a “specified
employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) shall not receive any distribution made pursuant to a termination of such Participant’s employment or services with the Company and its Subsidiaries before
the date that is six months after such Participant’s Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death). 

8.2 Form of Distributions. At the time of making a Salary and/or Bonus Deferral Election pursuant to Section 4, each
Participant shall designate, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Committee, the manner in which such benefits shall be paid. 
 If
the Participant elects a payment date under Sections 8.1(a) or (c) above, the Participant may elect one of the following payment forms: 
  

	 	(a)	A lump sum payment; 

  

	 	(b)	Substantially equal quarterly installments over five years; 

  

	 	(c)	Substantially equal quarterly installments over a period of ten years; or 

  

	 	(d)	Substantially equal quarterly installments over a period of fifteen years; 

 provided, however,
that the Participant may not elect more than two of the foregoing payment forms with respect to all of his or her distributions under the Plan pursuant to such payment date election(s). 

If the Participant elects a payment date under Sections 8.1(b) or (d) above, the Participant may elect one of the following payment forms:

  

	 	(e)	A lump sum payment; or 

  

	 	(f)	Substantially equal quarterly installments over five years; 

 provided, however, that the
Participant may not elect more than one of the foregoing payment forms with respect to all of his or her distributions under the Plan pursuant to each such payment date election. 

The Committee, in its discretion, may permit an election of monthly installment payments, if a Participant’s monthly payments would be at
least $1,000, and may permit elections of other payout periods, provided that no payout period shall be more than fifteen years. If the Participant fails to specify a payment form as provided in this Section 8.2, the Participant shall be deemed
to have elected payment in substantially equal quarterly installments over five years unless the Committee otherwise provides. The initial installment of any series of installments shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the
Participant’s Termination Date or in-service distribution date, as applicable. The Committee, in its discretion, may limit the available quarterly distribution dates to a specific date or specific dates (such as the first day of a month or
quarter); such discretion may be exercised (among other means) by limiting the available quarterly distribution dates on the election forms to be used by Participants. 

  
 14 








 Subject to the following provisions in this paragraph and Section 8.3, no changes may be
made to a payment election under this Section 8.2 after such election is filed. A Participant may change his or her form of payment election (for example, from a lump sum to installments), provided (1) that such a change election must be
filed with the Committee at least one year prior to the date distributions would commence (i.e. the Participant’s Termination Date or in-service distribution date, as applicable), (2) that such a change election will not be effective until
at least one year after the date on which the election is made, (3) that, except in the case of elections related to distributions on account of death, Disability or Unforeseeable Emergency, such a change election shall include a deferral of
the payment date (or payment commencement date) to a date that is not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made (or commenced), (4) that such a change election must be made on a form and in a manner
prescribed by the Committee, and (5) that a Participant may make only one such change with respect to Compensation deferred pursuant to any Salary or Bonus Deferral Election. 

8.3 Company Performance Contributions. No later than (i) thirty (30) days after the crediting of a Company
Performance Contribution to a Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 5 is approved by the Committee and (ii) twelve (12) months prior to the date that any portion of such Company Performance Contribution becomes vested, the
Participant shall designate, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Committee, the time or times at which such Company Contributions and any related earnings thereon will be paid and the form of any such payment. Such election shall be made in
accordance with and subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2. For Company Performance Contributions approved before January 1, 2014, if the Participant elects an in-service distribution date, such date shall be the first
business day selected by the Participant which occurs after the date such Company Performance Contribution becomes fully vested pursuant to Section 7.2. For Company Performance Contributions approved on or after January 1, 2014, the
Participant may elect separate in-service distribution dates for each installment of such Company Performance Contribution as such installment becomes vested; each such date shall be the first business day selected by the Participant which occurs
after the date such installment becomes vested. If a Participant is credited with a Company Performance Contribution and does not timely make a distribution election under this Section 8.3, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected
payment in a lump sum commencing on the first business day of a fiscal quarter as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s Termination Date. 

8.4 Withdrawals for Unforeseeable Emergencies. A Participant (or former Participant) may request a distribution from his
or her Deferral Account for an Unforeseeable Emergency (as defined below) without penalty. Such distribution for an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be subject to approval by the Committee and may be made only to the extent necessary to satisfy the
emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution) and only from amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account. A
distribution for an Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved (1) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (2) by liquidation of the Participant’s (or
Beneficiary’s) assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (3) by cessation of deferrals under this Plan. 

  
 15 








 
The Committee may require that the Participant (or Beneficiary) provide a written representation that any such distribution satisfies the requirements set forth in this Section 8.4.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may receive a distribution for an Unforeseeable Emergency under this Plan prior to a hardship withdrawal under any plan described in Section 401(k) of the Code. 

For purposes of this Section 8.4, an “Unforeseeable Emergency” shall mean a severe financial hardship of the Participant
resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code), loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. (For purposes of this definition, the term “Participant” shall include the Participant’s Beneficiary in the event of
the Participant’s death.) The circumstances that will constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency will depend upon the facts of each case. The purchase of a home and the payment of college tuition would typically not be considered to be Unforeseeable
Emergencies. 
 8.5 Section 162(m). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, if the
Committee determines in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that any benefits paid to a Participant for a taxable year of the Company would not be deductible by the Company solely by reason of the limitation under Section 162(m) of
the Code, then, to the extent reasonably deemed necessary by the Committee to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution to the Participant pursuant to this Plan is deductible, the Committee may defer all or any portion of a distribution
under this Plan. The amounts so deferred shall be distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary (in the event of the Participant’s death) at the earliest possible date, as determined by the Committee in good faith, on which the
deductibility of compensation paid or payable to the Participant for the taxable year of the Company during which the distribution is made will not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. 

8.6 Inability to Locate Participant. In the event that the Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary
within two years following the Participant’s Termination Date, or if later, within two years following the date on which benefits hereunder are to commence, the amount allocated to the Participant’s Accounts shall be forfeited. If, within
the six-year period following the date of such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefits, such benefits shall be reinstated without interest. Benefits forfeited pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall not be reinstated
under any circumstances if the Committee does not receive a claim to such benefits within the six-year period following the date of forfeiture. 

8.7 Distributions on Death. In the event of a termination of the Participant’s employment or services with the
Company and its Affiliates due to the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum during the calendar quarter following the quarter in which the Committee receives notice
satisfactory to it of the Participant’s death. In the event that a Participant or former Participant dies after his or her Termination Date and before his or her entire Account balance has been paid out, the balance of the Participant’s
Account shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary, in the form of a lump sum payment, as soon as administratively practicable. 

  
 16 








 8.8 Liability for Payment. Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan to the
contrary: (1) a Participant’s benefits with respect to this Plan shall be paid by the Participating Affiliate to whose employment of the Participant such benefits relate, and (2) a Participant shall have no right or claim to Plan
benefits from any other Participating Affiliate other than the employer referenced in the foregoing clause. 
 8.9 Legislation
or Regulations. Any provision of this Section 8 with respect to distributions to a Participant shall become null and void in the event that any legislation or regulations applicable to benefits under this Plan is adopted that
would require such Participant to be immediately subject to federal income tax for amounts of Compensation deferred under Section 4.1 above. The remaining provisions of this Plan shall continue in effect. 

 

	9.	PLAN ADMINISTRATION 

 9.1 Committee. The Committee shall be
appointed as set forth in the Company’s governing documents. 
 9.2 Committee Action. The Committee shall act at
meetings by affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Committee. Any action permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if, prior to such action, a written consent to the action is signed by a majority of the members
of the Committee and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Committee. A member of the Committee shall not vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself or herself as an Participant. The Chairman or
any other member or members of the Committee designated by the Chairman may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Committee. 

9.3 Powers and Duties of the Committee. The Committee, on behalf of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, shall
enforce this Plan in accordance with its terms, shall be charged with the general administration of this Plan, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish its purposes, including, but not by way of limitation, the following: 

 

	 	(a)	To construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan and to make factual determinations hereunder; 

  

	 	(b)	To compute and certify the amount and kind of benefits payable to Participants and their Beneficiaries, and to determine the time and manner in which such benefits are paid; 


 

	 	(c)	To maintain all records that may be necessary for the administration of this Plan; 


  
 17 









	 	(d)	To provide for the disclosure of all information and the filing or provision of all reports and statements to Participants, Beneficiaries or governmental agencies as shall be required by law; 


 

	 	(e)	To make and publish such rules for the regulation of this Plan and procedures for the administration of this Plan as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof; 


 

	 	(f)	To appoint a plan administrator or any other agent, and to delegate to them such powers and duties in connection with the administration of this Plan as the Committee may from time to time prescribe (including but not
limited to the power to approve the designation of Subsidiaries as Participating Affiliates under this Plan); and 

  

	 	(g)	To require or permit Participant (or Beneficiary, as the context may require) elections and/or consents under this Plan to be made by means of such electronic media as the Committee may prescribe. 


9.4 Construction and Interpretation. Prior to a Change in Control Event, the Committee shall have full discretion to
construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan, which interpretation or construction shall be final and binding on all parties, including but not limited to the Company and any Participant or Beneficiary. Any interpretation,
construction or determination made after a Change in Control Event shall be subject to judicial review on a de novo basis. The Committee shall administer the terms and provisions of this Plan in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner and in
full accordance with any and all laws applicable to this Plan. 
 9.5 Compensation, Expenses and Indemnity. The members
of the Committee shall serve without compensation for their services hereunder. Expenses and fees in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Company. The Committee is authorized at the expense of the Company to employ
such legal counsel as it may deem advisable to assist in the performance of its duties hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Company shall indemnify and save harmless the Committee and each member thereof, the Board of
Directors and any delegate of the Committee who is an employee of a Participating Affiliate against any and all expenses, liabilities and claims, including legal fees to defend against such liabilities and claims arising out of their discharge in
good faith of responsibilities under or incident to this Plan, other than expenses and liabilities arising out of willful misconduct. This indemnity shall not preclude such further indemnities as may be available under insurance purchased by the
Participating Affiliate or provided by the Participating Affiliate under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise, as such indemnities are permitted under state law. 

9.6 Quarterly Statements. Under procedures established by the Committee, a Participant shall receive a statement with
respect to such Participant’s Accounts on a quarterly basis as of each January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31. 

  
 18 









	10.	MISCELLANEOUS 

 10.1 Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and
their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of any Participating Affiliate. No assets of any Participating Affiliate shall be held under any
trust or held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of any Participating Affiliate. Any and all of each Participating Affiliate’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the
Participating Affiliate. Each Participating Affiliate’s obligations under this Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Participating Affiliate to pay money in the future to those persons to whom the Participating
Affiliate has a benefit obligation under this Plan (as determined in accordance with the terms hereof including, without limitation, Section 8.8), and the respective rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of
unsecured general creditors. 
 10.2 Restriction Against Assignment. The respective Participating Affiliate shall pay
all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his
or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a Participant’s Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate,
anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer,
assign, pledge, encumber or charge any distribution or payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Committee, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant,
Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Committee shall direct. 
 10.3 Tax Withholding. The Company
(or the Subsidiary by which the Participant is employed) may satisfy any state or federal employment tax withholding obligation, or such other withholding obligation as required by the Company’s (or Subsidiary’s) jurisdiction, with respect
to Compensation deferred under this Plan by deducting such amounts from any compensation payable by the Company (or a Subsidiary) to the Participant. There shall be deducted from each payment or distribution made under this Plan, or any other
compensation payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary), all taxes which are required to be withheld by the Company (or a Subsidiary) in respect to such payment or distribution or this Plan. If the Company, for any reason, elects not to (or cannot)
satisfy the withholding obligation from the amounts otherwise payable under this Plan, the Participant shall pay or provide for payment in cash of the amount of any taxes which the Company (or a Subsidiary) may be required to withhold with respect
to the benefits hereunder. 
 10.4 Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board or the Committee may
amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan in whole or in part, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts or accelerate or
defer the timing of any distributions under this Plan as provided in Section 8. A Participating 

  
 19 








 
Affiliate may elect to terminate its status as such at any time and, in such event, such termination shall not affect the Participating Affiliate’s obligations under this Plan with respect
to amounts previously credited and/or deferred under this Plan (including earnings thereon) for which the Participating Affiliate is liable. 

10.5 Governing Law; Severability. This Plan shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware. If any provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective. To the extent that the Plan is
subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Plan shall be construed and interpreted to the maximum extent reasonably possible to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A. The Company reserves the right to
amend the Plan to the extent it reasonably determines is necessary in order to preserve the intended tax consequences of deferrals made under the Plan in light of Section 409A and any regulations or other guidance promulgated thereunder. 

10.6 Receipt or Release. Any payment to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the
provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Committee, the Company and the Subsidiaries. The Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment,
to execute a receipt and release to such effect. 
 10.7 Payment on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity. In the event
that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Committee, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment
be made to any person found by the Committee, in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Committee, the Company and the
Subsidiaries. 
 10.8 No Right to Employment. Participation in this Plan shall not give any person the right to
continued employment or service or any rights or interests other than as expressly provided herein. No Participant shall have any right to any payment or benefit hereunder except to the extent provided in this Plan. 

10.9 Titles and Headings. Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not
to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof. 
 10.10 Claims Procedure. A person who believes that he
or she is being denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled under this Plan (hereinafter referred to as “Claimant”) may file a written request for such benefit with the Committee, setting forth his or her claim. The request must be
addressed to the Committee at the Company’s then principal executive offices. 
 Upon receipt of a claim, the Committee shall advise the
Claimant that a reply will be forthcoming within ninety (90) days and shall, in fact, deliver such reply within such period. The Committee may, however, extend the reply period for an additional ninety (90) days for special circumstances.
If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the 

  
 20 








 
Committee shall inform the Claimant in writing, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth: (i) the specified reason or reasons for such denial, (ii) the
specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or
such information is necessary, (iv) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review, and (v) the time limits for requesting a review set forth below. 

Within sixty (60) days after the receipt by the Claimant of the written reply described above, the Claimant may request in writing that
the Committee review its determination. Such request must be addressed to the Committee at the Company’s then principal executive offices. The Claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the pertinent
documents and submit issues and comments in writing for consideration by the Committee. If the Claimant does not request a review within such sixty (60) day period, he or she shall be barred and estopped from challenging the Committee’s
determination. 
 Within sixty (60) days after the Committee’s receipt of a request for review, after considering all materials
presented by the Claimant, the Committee will inform the Claimant in writing, in manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, of its decision setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the
pertinent provisions of this Plan on which the decision is based. If special circumstances require that the sixty (60) day time period be extended, the Committee will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but
no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. 
 10.11 Arbitration. Any
dispute regarding the Plan shall be submitted to mandatory, binding arbitration. A Claimant must exhaust the claims procedure set forth in Section 10.10 as a condition of commencing arbitration. If a civil action concerning the Plan has been
brought, the Company and the Claimant shall take such actions as are necessary or appropriate, including dismissal of the civil action, so that the arbitration can be timely heard. Once arbitration is commenced, it may not be discontinued without
the unanimous consent of all parties to the arbitration. 
 Any claim for arbitration may be submitted as follows: if the Claimant disagrees
with an interpretation of this Plan by the Company or any fiduciary of this Plan, or disagrees with the calculation of his or her benefit under this Plan, such claim may, after exhaustion of the claims procedure set forth in Section 10.10, be
filed in writing with an arbitrator of the Claimant’s choice who is selected by the method described in the next four sentences. The first step of the selection shall consist of the Claimant submitting in writing a list of five potential
arbitrators to the Company. Each of the five potential arbitrators must be either (i) a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators located in the state of California or, if the Claimant is a resident of the United States, the state of the
Claimant’s residence or (ii) a retired California Superior Court or Appellate Court judge. Within ten business days after receipt of the list, the Company shall select one of the five arbitrators as the arbitrator of the dispute in
question. If the Company fails to select an arbitrator in a timely manner, the Claimant then shall designate one of the five arbitrators as the arbitrator of the dispute in question. 

  
 21 








 The arbitration hearing shall be held within thirty days (or as soon thereafter as possible)
after the selection of the arbitrator. No continuance of said hearing shall be allowed without the mutual consent of the Claimant and the Company. Absence from or non-participation at the hearing by any party shall not prevent the issuance of an
award. Hearing procedures that will expedite the hearing may be ordered at the arbitrator’s discretion, and the arbitrator may close the hearing in his sole discretion when he or she decides he or she has heard sufficient evidence to justify
issuance of an award. The arbitrator shall apply the same standard of review referred to in Section 9.4 as would be applied by a court of proper jurisdiction. Accordingly, with respect to any interpretation, construction or determination by the
Committee prior to a Change in Control Event, the arbitrator shall not apply a de novo standard of review in reviewing the decision rendered through the claims procedure but rather shall review the Committee’s interpretation, construction or
determination under an abuse of discretion standard, and with respect to any interpretation, construction or determination by the Committee upon and after a Change in Control Event, the arbitrator shall apply a de novo standard of review. 

The arbitrator’s award shall be rendered as expeditiously as possible and in no event later than one week after the close of the hearing.
In the event the arbitrator finds that the Claimant is entitled to the benefits he or she claimed, the arbitrator shall order the Company to pay or deliver such benefits, in the amounts and at such time as the arbitrator determines. The award of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The Company shall thereupon pay or deliver to the Claimant immediately the amount that the arbitrator orders to be paid or delivered in the manner described in the award. The award may be
enforced in any appropriate court as soon as possible after its rendition. If any action is brought to confirm the award, no appeal shall be taken by any party from any decision rendered in such action. 

If a Change in Control Event has occurred and the arbitrator determines that the Claimant is entitled to the claimed benefits, the arbitrator
shall direct the Company to pay to the Claimant, and the Company shall pay to the Claimant in accordance with such order, an amount equal to the Claimant’s expenses in pursuing the claim, including attorneys’ fees. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amended and restated document to be executed by its duly authorized officer effective as of
August 13, 2014.
