exercise to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at its corporate headquarters, in a form prescribed by the Committee or by satisfying such other procedures as shall be set forth by the Committee from time to time. Such notice shall specify the
number of Covered Shares that the Participant elects to exercise the SAR. In the event this SAR is exercised by any person or persons after the death or Disability of the Participant, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the

disposed of by the Participant in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the
SAR contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the SAR, shall be null and void and without effect. 

Section 8. Heirs and Successors. This Award Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company
and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business. If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under this Award Agreement have not been

be amended or revoked from time to time by the Participant in accordance with any procedures established by the Committee. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any
benefits that would have been provided to the Participant shall be provided to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies
before the provision of the Designated Beneficiary’s benefits under this Award Agreement, then any benefits that would have been provided to the Designated Beneficiary shall be provided to the legal representative of the estate of the
Designated Beneficiary.

administration of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Award Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of this Award Agreement or the
Plan by the Committee and any decision made by the Committee with respect to this Award Agreement or the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.

subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Participant from the office of the Corporate Secretary of the Company. This Award Agreement shall be subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules, and regulations
promulgated by the Committee from time to time. Notwithstanding any term of this Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any discrepancy between the corporate records of the Company and this Award Agreement, the corporate records of the
Company shall control. 
 Section 11. Not an Employment Contract. Neither the SAR nor this Award Agreement shall confer
on the Participant any rights with respect to continuance of employment or other service with

employment or other service at any time.

rights of a Shareholder with respect to the Covered Shares.
