Inc. (“OSI” or the “Company”) approved the 2009 salaries and 2008 cash bonuses for OSI’s named
executive officers (as that term is defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-K) as set forth in OSI’s

	(1)	 	Mr. Atieh retired from his position as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
effective December 29, 2008 and its Executive Vice President effective January 5, 2009, and
received a 2008 bonus in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement.
	 
	(2)	 	Mr. Legault’s employment as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
commenced on December 29, 2008. As such, he was not entitled to a bonus for 2008.

Cash Bonuses

     The 2008 bonus awards were computed in accordance with the Committee’s policy of awarding
annual bonuses for executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis
section of the 2008 Proxy. The bonus awards were paid out in February 2009 based on individual and
corporate performance measurers considered in December 2008 and February 2009, respectively. OSI
has established a discretionary annual cash bonus program for all of its employees, including its
executive officers. The bonus targets, which are a percentage of base salary, for all of its
executive officers are based upon their respective grade levels. The amount of bonus actually paid
to its employees, including the executive officers (other than OSI’s CEO), is a function of the
corporate and individual performance measures. The CEO’s bonus is based entirely on corporate
performance measures. Consistent with its compensation objectives, a larger portion of the bonuses for OSI’s executive officers is tied to
corporate performance as compared to individual performance. In addition, the performance of their
respective department(s) or function group(s) is the largest component in measuring the individual
performance for executive officers (other than the CEO).

 

 

     The actual amount of the bonuses paid to its executive officers, including the CEO, varies
depending upon the Company’s performance (which is 80% of the total bonus) and, for executive
officers other than the CEO, such executive officers’ individual performance (which is 20% of the
total bonus). The corporate component has ranged between 80% and 150% of the corporate component
target and the individual performance component has ranged between approximately 80% and 130% of
the individual performance component target depending upon an executive’s individual performance
rating. In 2008, the Committee set the corporate component at 110% for all executive officers,
including the CEO. The individual component of the annual cash bonus is based on the executive
officer’s individual performance rating, determined in the manner discussed above. For 2008, the
individual performance component of the annual cash bonus was set between approximately 80% and
130% for executive officers who received one of the top three performance ratings

     The bonus targets for the named executive officers are either set in accordance with their
employment agreements or are based upon their respective grade levels. The 2009 bonus targets
(which represent a percentage of base salary) for the named executive officers are as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Name	 	Target
	Colin Goddard, Ph.D.
	 	 	100	%
	Pierre Legault
	 	 	55	%
	Gabriel Leung
	 	 	50	%
	Anker Lundemose, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc.
	 	 	50	%
	Robert L. Simon
	 	 	50	%

Equity Awards

     OSI grants equity awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and/or
deferred stock units to certain employees under its Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. Most
of its employees, including its executive officers, receive an annual equity grant in December. The
total amount of equity to be granted is initially determined by the CEO in consultation with the
Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Training, and then recommended to the Committee for
approval. The exercise price for all stock options is set at the closing price of OSI’s common
stock on the date that the Committee approves the annual grant, with such approval date serving as
the date of grant. Equity grants to the named executive officers are designed to provide a level of
equity compensation that is at the approximate 50th percentile of that awarded by OSI’s peer group
of companies. OSI determines the value of the grants provided to each executive officer. For 2008,
the named executive officers received grants within 20% of their target guidelines, with the
exception of Mr. Simon who received a grant of options and restricted stock units in excess of his
20% target guideline based on his individual performance rating.

     As noted above, Mr. Atieh retired from OSI effective January 5, 2009. In connection with his
retirement, the Committee approved the following: that all of Mr. Atieh’s unvested options as of
January 5, 2009 continue to vest for an additional three months and remain exercisable through the
life of the grant and that the exercise period for all of Mr. Atieh’s vested options, not meeting
the retirement provision of our incentive plan, as of January 5, 2009 that would terminate within
three months of January 5, 2009 be extended for an additional three months.

Perquisites

     OSI provides very few perquisites to its executive officers. Certain of its named executive
officers receive a reimbursement of relocation expenses, temporary housing allowance, legal fees
and home security systems.

I. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE

1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Schering-Plough Corporation 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) is to enable Schering-Plough Corporation to achieve superior financial performance, as
reflected in the performance of its Shares and other key financial or operating indicators by (i)
providing incentives and rewards to certain Employees who are in a position to contribute
materially to the success and long-term objectives of Schering-Plough, (ii) aiding in the
recruitment and retention of Employees of outstanding ability and (iii) providing Employees an
opportunity to acquire or expand equity interests in Schering-Plough, thus aligning the interests
of such Employees with those of Schering-Plough’s shareholders. Schering-Plough expects that it
will benefit from the added interest that such Employees will have in the welfare of
Schering-Plough as a result of their ownership or increased ownership of Schering-Plough’s Shares.

1.2 Effective Date; Shareholder Approval. The Plan was originally effective as of May 19,
2006, subject to the approval of the Plan by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the 2006 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of Schering-Plough, or any adjournment of such meeting. Any Awards granted under the
Plan prior to the approval of the Plan by Schering-Plough’s shareholders, as provided herein, were
contingent on such approval; if such approval is not obtained, the Plan would have had no effect,
and any Awards granted under the Plan would have been rescinded. Schering-Plough’s shareholder
approved the Plan at the 2006 Annual Meeting and the Plan became effective on May 19, 2006.

limitations on elections to defer payment of Deferred Stock Units, as described in Section
4.6(e), may not be waived;

     (h) Except to the extent that any such action would result in the imposition on a
Participant of an “additional tax” under Section 409A of the Code, accelerate the vesting,
exercise or lapse of restrictions on an Award when such action or actions would be in the best
interest of Schering-Plough;

     (i) Make any adjustments permitted by the Plan (including but not limited to adjustment of

discretion, in the best interest of Schering-Plough, not as a fiduciary, and in keeping with the
objectives of the Plan and need not be uniform as to similarly situated individuals. Committee
determinations shall be made by a majority of its members present at a meeting at which a quorum is
present and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Plan
and any Awards granted under the

- 10 -

 

Plan. Any determination of the Committee that is reduced to writing and signed by all of the
members of the Committee shall be as fully effective as if it had been made at a meeting duly held.

3.4 Delegation of Authority. The Committee, in its discretion and consistent with
applicable law and regulations, may delegate some or all of its authority and duties under the Plan
to such other individual, individuals or committee as it may deem advisable, under such conditions
and subject to such limitations as the Committee may establish. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only
the Committee shall have authority to grant and administer Awards to Covered Employees and other
Reporting Persons, to establish and certify Performance Measures for Qualified Performance Awards
and to grant Awards to any Employee who is acting as a delegate of the Committee in respect of the
Plan.

3.5 Employment of Advisors. The Committee may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants
and other advisors, and the Committee, Schering-Plough and the officers and directors of

deemed to have been granted in separate grants, shall be clearly identified, and in no event
will the exercise of one such Award affect the right to exercise the other Award.

     (b) Amount of Shares. The Committee may grant Stock Options to an Employee in
such amounts as the Committee may determine, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
5.1 of the Plan. The number of Shares subject to a Stock Option shall be set forth in the

following conditions, limitations and restrictions.

     (i) Vesting. The Committee will determine and set forth in the Award Certificate the
date on which the Stock Options subject to the Award may first be exercised. Unless the

4.4(e) and in Section 5.4 relating to Changes in Control, no Stock Option shall be
exercisable prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of grant.

     (ii) Retirement. Upon a Participant’s Retirement,

     (A) All Stock Options granted to the Participant during the one-year period
immediately preceding the Participant’s Retirement date that have not become

     (B) All Stock Options granted to the Participant more than one year prior to the

     (C) To the extent that Stock Options have become exercisable as of the
Participant’s Retirement date, or become exercisable after such date in accordance with

within the later of (x) five years from the Participant’s Retirement date or, if
earlier, the original expiration date of Stock Option and (y) one year from the
Participant’s date of death.

     (iii) Termination Due to Business Divestiture. Upon a Participant’s Termination Due
to Business Divestiture, all Stock Options granted to the Participant that have not become
exercisable as of the date of such Termination Due to Business Divestiture shall become
immediately exercisable and must be exercised, if at all, within five years after such
termination date, but in no event later than the original expiration date of the Stock
Option.

     (iv) Disability. Upon the Disability of a Participant, all Stock Options granted to
the Participant that have not become exercisable as of the date of Disability shall become
immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for the full duration of the Stock
Option’s original term.

     (v) Death. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment due to his or her death
during the term of a Stock Option, all Stock Options held by the Participant at the time
of his or her death that are not already exercisable shall become immediately exercisable
and all Stock Options shall remain exercisable for the longer of (A) the full duration of

operation of law. In the event a Stock Option is exercised by the executor or
administrator of a deceased Participant, or by the person or persons to whom the Stock

Participant’s will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

- 13 -

 

     (vi) Other Terminations. Upon an Employee’s Termination of Employment for any
reason other than death, Disability, Retirement, Termination Due to Business Divestiture
or Termination for Cause, all Stock Options that have not become exercisable as of the
date of termination shall be forfeited and to the extent that Stock Options have become
exercisable as of such date, such Stock Options must be exercised, if at all, within three
months after such Termination of Employment (one year in the case of an Involuntary
Termination), but in no event later than the original expiration date of the Stock Option.

     (f) Method of Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price. A Stock Option may be
exercised by giving written notice to Schering-Plough specifying the number of Shares to be
purchased, which shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price plus applicable
taxes, if any. No Stock Option shall be exercised for less than the lesser of 100 Shares or
the full number of Shares for which the Stock Option is then exercisable. No stock
certificates shall be registered and delivered, and no Participant shall have any rights to
dividends or other rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to the Stock Option
until the Participant has given written notice of exercise, made full payment of the Exercise
Price for such Shares (including taxes) and, if requested by Schering-Plough, has given the
representation described in Section 7.4. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made in cash or
by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer, or postal or express money order. In addition,
at the discretion of the Committee, payment of all or a portion of the Exercise Price may be
made by —

     (i) Delivering a properly executed exercise notice to Schering-Plough or its
agent, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to
Schering-Plough the amount of sale proceeds with respect to the portion of the Shares to be
acquired having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the sum of the
applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid;

     (ii) Tendering (actually or by attestation) to Schering-Plough previously
acquired Shares that have been held by the Participant for at least six months, subject to
paragraph (iv), and that have a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date of exercise
equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid, provided that the
Board has specifically approved the repurchase of such Shares (unless such approval is not
required by the terms of the By-Laws of Schering-Plough) and the Committee has determined
that, as of the date of repurchase, Schering-Plough is, and after the repurchase will
continue to be, able to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

     (iii) Provided such payment method has been expressly authorized by the Board or
the Committee in advance and subject to any requirements of applicable law and regulations,
instructing Schering-Plough to reduce the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued
by such number of Shares as have in the aggregate a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid.

- 14 -

 

     (iv) The Committee, in consideration of applicable accounting standards, may waive
any holding period on Shares required to tender pursuant to clause (ii).

     (g) Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan
shall be subject to the following additional conditions, limitations and restrictions:

     (i) Eligibility. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of
Schering-Plough or an Affiliate or Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary” or “parent
corporation”, within the meaning of Code Section 424, of Schering-Plough. In no event may
an Incentive Stock Option be granted to an Employee who owns stock possessing more than 10%
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Schering-Plough or such
Affiliate or Subsidiary.

     (ii) Timing of Grant. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan
after the 10-year anniversary of earlier of (A) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board
and (B) the date the Plan is approved by Schering-Plough’s shareholders.

     (iii) Amount of Award. The aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the
Shares with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options first become exercisable during
any calendar year under the terms of the Plan for any Participant may not exceed $100,000.
For purposes of this $100,000 limit, the Participant’s Incentive Stock Options under this
Plan and all Plans maintained by Schering-Plough and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries shall
be aggregated. To the extent any Incentive Stock Option first becomes exercisable in a
calendar year and such limit would be exceeded, such Incentive Stock Option shall
thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes.

     (iv) Timing of Exercise. In the event that an Incentive Stock Option is exercised by
a Participant more than three months after a Participant’s Termination of Employment (or
more than 12 months after the Participant is Disabled), such Incentive Stock Option shall
thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes. For this purpose, an
Employee’s employment relationship shall be treated as continuing intact while the Employee
is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary
employment with the Government) duly authorized in writing by Schering-Plough if the period
of such leave does not exceed three months or, if longer, so long as the Employee’s right
to reemployment with Schering-Plough or an Affiliate or Subsidiary is guaranteed either by
statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds three months and the Employee’s
right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment
relationship will be deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such
three-month period.

- 15 -

 

     (v) Transfer Restrictions. In no event shall the Committee permit an Incentive Stock
Option to be transferred by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable, during
his or her lifetime, only by the Participant.

     (h) No Repricing. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3, in no event
shall the Committee decrease the Exercise Price of a Stock Option after the date of grant or
cancel outstanding Stock Options and grant replacement Stock Options with a lower Exercise
Price without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the Shares present
in person or by proxy at a meeting of Schering-Plough’s shareholders and entitled to vote at
such meeting.

4.5 Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock under the Plan to such
Employees as the Committee may from time to time select, in such amounts and subject to such terms,
conditions and restrictions (including, without limitation, transfer restrictions) and Restriction
Periods as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine and set forth in the Award Certificate.
The Committee, in its discretion, may condition an Award of Restricted Stock on the Participant
giving the representation described in Section 7.4.

     (a) Payment of Restricted Stock. As soon as practicable after Restricted
Stock is awarded, a certificate or certificates for all such Shares of Restricted Stock shall
be registered in the name of the Participant and, at the discretion of Schering-Plough, be
either (i) delivered to the Participant or (ii) held by Schering-Plough on behalf of the
Participant until all restrictions have lapsed. The Participant shall thereupon have all the
rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive
dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares, except that such
Shares shall be subject to the forfeiture provisions of clause (i) below. The Committee may,
in its discretion, impose and set forth in the Award Certificate such other restrictions on
Restricted Stock for such Restriction Period or Periods as it deems appropriate. Except as
the Committee may otherwise determine, and subject to (1) the Committee’s authority under
Section 3.2 to waive or amend any terms, conditions, limitations or restrictions of an Award,
(2) Section 5.4 relating to Changes in Control and (3) the special forfeiture provisions of
Section 7.2, such Shares shall be subject to the following provisions.

     (i) Forfeiture and Lapse of Restriction. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be
forfeited by a Participant upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment during the
Restriction Period for any reason other than the Participant’s death, Disability or
Termination Due to Business Divestiture. Subject to clause (ii) below and Section 5.4
relating to Changes in Control, restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse at
the end of the Restriction Period set forth in the Award Certificate.

- 16 -

 

     (ii) Accelerated Lapse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all restrictions on Shares
of Restricted Stock shall immediately lapse upon the death or Disability of the
Participant. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in the applicable Award
Certificate that restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock shall also lapse upon the
Participant’s Retirement or Involuntary Termination.

     (b) Legend. In order to enforce any restrictions that the Committee may
impose on Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a legend or legends setting forth a
specific reference to such restrictions to be placed on all certificates for Shares of
Restricted Stock. As restrictions are released, a new certificate, without the legend, for
the number of Shares with respect to which restrictions have been released shall be issued
and delivered to the Participant as soon as possible thereafter.

4.6 Deferred Stock Units. The Committee may grant Deferred Stock Units under the Plan
to those Employees whom the Committee may from time to time select, in such amounts and pursuant to
such other terms and conditions that the Committee, in its discretion, may determine and set forth
in the Award Certificate, subject to the following provisions.

     (a) Deferred Stock Account. Deferred Stock Units awarded to a Participant
shall be credited to a Deferred Stock Account established and maintained by Schering-Plough on
behalf of the Participant. No Participant shall be a shareholder with respect to any Shares
underlying Deferred Stock Units credited to his Deferred Stock Account, nor shall the
Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary) have any right to or interest in any specific
assets of Schering-Plough or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, including any Shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan, until such Shares are actually distributed to the Participant.

     (b) Dividend Equivalents. Unless the Committee determines otherwise at the time
of grant and sets forth in the applicable Award Certificate, in the event of Schering-Plough’s
payment of dividends on Shares, Dividend Equivalents shall be applied as follows.

     (i) Stock Dividends. Dividend Equivalents relating to stock dividends shall be
credited to a Participant’s Deferred Stock Account as of the dividend payment date in the
form of additional Deferred Stock Units, based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
dividend payment date.

     (ii) Non-Stock Dividends. Dividend Equivalents relating to dividends other than
stock dividends shall be distributed immediately to the Participant as additional
compensation on the dividend payment date.

     (c) Payment of Shares. Subject to paragraph (d) below and Section 5.4 relating to
Changes in Control, Deferred Stock Units shall be paid in Shares, at the rate of one Share per
each Deferred Stock Unit, at such time or times and in such

- 17 -

 

manner as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant and set forth in the
applicable Award Certificate, which can be either:

     (i) Lump Sum. A single lump sum payable on a specified date not earlier than the
six-month anniversary of the date the Deferred Stock Units were awarded to the
Participant, or

     (ii) Installments. In a set number of equal or unequal periodic installments
commencing on a specified date not earlier than the six-month anniversary of the date the
Deferred Stock Units were awarded to the Participant.

The timing and form of payment of Shares in settlement of Deferred Stock Units shall be set
forth in the Award Certificate at the time of grant and, to the extent such Deferred Stock Units
are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, shall not be subject to
modification or acceleration by the Committee, except as provided in paragraph (d) below and in
Section 5.4. The Committee, in its discretion, may condition the issuance of Shares in
connection with Deferred Stock Units on the Participant giving the representation described in
Section 7.4.

     (d) Termination and Forfeiture. Unless the Award Certificate provides otherwise,
and subject to (1) the Committee’s authority under Section 3.2 to waive or amend any terms,
conditions, limitations or restrictions of an Award, (2) Section 5.4 relating to Changes in
Control and (3) the special forfeiture provisions of Section 7.2, any undistributed Deferred
Stock Units remaining in a Participant’s Deferred Stock Account shall be forfeited by the
Participant upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than other
than the death, Disability, Retirement, Termination Due to Business Divestiture or Involuntary
Termination of the Participant.

     (i) Death. Upon the death of a Participant prior to full payment of the
Participant’s Deferred Stock Account, the remaining balance of the Participant’s Deferred
Stock Account shall be paid in Shares to the Participant’s Beneficiary or, if none, to the
legal representative of the Participant’s estate or to the person to whom the
Participant’s Deferred Stock Unit payment rights are transferred under Participant’s will
or by operation of law, in a single lump sum payment as soon as administratively feasible
after the Participant’s death, but in no event later than the last day of the calendar
year of the Participant’s death or, if later, the 15th day of the third month
following the Participant’s death. Schering-Plough shall be under no obligation to deliver
Shares in satisfaction of a Deferred Stock Unit unless and until Schering-Plough is
satisfied that the person or persons to whom the Shares are being transferred are the duly
appointed executor(s) or administrator(s) of the deceased Participant or the person to
whom the Deferred Stock Units have been transferred under the Participant’s will or by the
applicable laws of descent and distribution.

- 18 -

 

     (ii) Disability. In the event a Participant becomes Disabled prior to full payment
of the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account, the remaining balance of the Participant’s
Deferred Stock Account shall be paid in Shares at the scheduled time and in the scheduled
manner set out in the applicable Award Certificate at the time of grant; provided, however
that the Committee may determine at the time of grant and set forth in an Award
Certificate that if the Participant becomes Disabled prior to the scheduled payment date
or dates of the Deferred Stock Units, the remaining balance the Participant’s Deferred
Stock Account shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum distribution as soon
as administratively feasible after the date the Participant becomes Disabled, but in no
event later than the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant becomes
Disabled or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date the
Participant becomes Disabled.

     (iii) Retirement. Upon the Retirement of a Participant prior to full payment of the
Participant’s Deferred Stock Account, the Participant shall forfeit all unpaid Deferred
Stock Units that were awarded to the Participant during the one-year period immediately
preceding the Participant’s Retirement date and all other Deferred Stock Units remaining
in the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account shall be paid at the scheduled time and in the
scheduled manner set out in the applicable Award Certificate at the time of grant;
provided, however that the Committee may determine at the time of grant and set forth in
an Award Certificate that the entire unpaid balance of the a Participant’s Deferred Stock
Account shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s Retirement. Alternatively, to the extent
permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may determine at the time of grant
and set forth in an Award Certificate that, in the event of the Participant’s Retirement
prior to the scheduled payment date or dates of the Deferred Stock Units, the remaining
balance the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account shall be paid to the Participant in a
single lump sum distribution as soon as administratively feasible after the Participant’s
Retirement date, but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year in which the
Participant retires or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the
date of the Participant’s Retirement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Participant is
a Section 409A Specified Employee on his or her Retirement date, payment may not be made
earlier than the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Retirement date.

     (iv) Termination Due to Business Divestiture. Upon a Participant’s Termination Due
to Business Divestiture prior to full payment of the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account,
the remaining balance of the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account shall be paid in Shares
at the scheduled time and in the scheduled manner set out in the applicable Award
Certificate at the time of grant. Alternatively, to the extent permitted under Section
409A of the Code, the Committee may determine at the time of grant and set forth in an
Award Certificate that, in the event of the Participant’s Termination Due to Business
Divestiture prior to the scheduled payment date or dates of the Deferred Stock Units, the
remaining balance the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account shall be

- 19 -

 

paid to the Participant in a single lump sum distribution as soon as administratively
feasible after the Participant’s termination date, but in no event later than the last day
of the calendar year of the Participant’s termination or, if later, the 15th
day of the third month following the date of the Participant’s termination.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Participant is a Section 409A Specified Employee on
his or her termination date, payment may not be made earlier than the six-month
anniversary of the Participant’s termination date.

     (v) Involuntary Termination. Upon the Involuntary Termination of a Participant
prior to full payment of the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account, the Participant shall
forfeit —

     (A) All unpaid Deferred Stock Units that were awarded to the Participant during
the one-year period immediately preceding the Participant’s Involuntary Termination
date; and

     (B) A prorated portion of the remaining Deferred Stock Units under each
Deferred Stock Unit Award determined by subtracting from the number of unpaid Deferred
Stock Units remaining under such Award the product of (I) the number of unpaid Deferred
Stock Units remaining under such Award, multiplied by (II) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of full months worked by the Participant between the date of grant
and the Involuntary Termination date, and the denominator of which is the total number
of full months between the date of grant and the originally scheduled payment date.

     All other Deferred Stock Units remaining in the Participant’s Deferred Stock
Account shall be paid at the scheduled time and in the scheduled manner set out in the
applicable Award Certificate at the time of grant.

     (e) Payment Deferrals. Subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the
Code, the Committee may from time to time and on a case by case basis permit a Participant to
elect to defer payment of his Deferred Stock Units, or change the form of payment of Shares
issued in connection with Deferred Stock Units. Elections to defer the payment date or change
the form of payment shall be subject to the following limitations, which may not be waived by
the Committee:

     (i) Such election must be made, if at all, no less than 12 months prior to the
originally scheduled payment date set out in the Award Certificate for the Deferred Stock
Units with respect to which the election is made;

     (ii) Such election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on
which the election is made; and

     (iii) Except with respect to an election to receive payment upon Disability, the
first scheduled payment must be deferred pursuant to the election for a period

- 20 -

 

of at least five years from the original payment date set out in the Award
Certificate for the Deferred Stock Units with respect to which the election is made.

For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each scheduled installment payment under a Deferred
Stock Unit Award shall be deemed to be a separate payment.

     (f) Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary
(including anything in Section 3.2 relating to the authority of the Committee or Section 5.4
relating to Changes in Control) in no event shall the Committee have discretion under the Plan
to accelerate the payment date or deferred payment date of Deferred Stock Units, except to the
extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury Department or
Internal Revenue Service guidance issued in connection with Section 409A of the Code.

4.7 Other Stock-Based Awards. Subject to compliance with the requirements of Section
409A of the Code, the Committee may, from time to time, grant to an Employee Other Stock-Based
Awards under the Plan. These Awards may include, among other things Shares, restricted stock
options, stock appreciation rights that are settled in Shares, and phantom or hypothetical Shares.
The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, the terms, conditions, restrictions and
limitations, if any, that shall apply to Other Stock-Based Awards granted pursuant to this Section
4.7 (including whether Dividend Equivalents shall be credited or paid with respect to any such
Award), which terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations shall be set forth in the Award
Certificate. The Committee, in its discretion, may condition the delivery of Shares in connection
with an Award under this Section 4.7 on the Participant giving the representation described in
Section 7.4.

4.8 Performance Awards. The Committee may grant Performance Awards under the Plan only to
such Employees as the Committee may from time to time select, in such amounts and subject to such
terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Performance Awards granted
under the Plan shall be subject to the following provisions.

     (a) General. Performance Awards that are not Qualified Performance Awards
shall be based on such Performance Cycles, Performance Measures and vesting or payout formulas
(which may be the same as or different than those applicable to Performance Awards that are
designated as Qualified Performance Awards) as the Committee, in its discretion, may establish
for such purposes.

     (b) Form of Payment. Performance Awards may be paid in cash, Shares, Stock
Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock Units, Other Stock-Based Awards or any combination
of the foregoing in such proportions as the Committee may determine, in its discretion, and
set forth in the Award Certificate. To the extent that a Performance Award is paid in Shares,
Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock Units and/or Other Stock-Based Awards, the
amount of each such form of

- 21 -

 

Award that is payable shall be based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
grant, subject to such reasonable Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock Unit discount factors
and/or Stock Option valuation methodologies as the Committee may, in its discretion, apply.
Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards granted in
connection with a Performance Award shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.4, 4.5,
4.6 and 4.7, respectively.

     (c) Qualified Performance Awards. A Performance Award granted to a Covered
Employee under the Plan may, at the discretion of the Committee, be designated as a Qualified
Performance Award. Qualified Performance Awards under the Plan may be granted either
separately or at the same time as Awards that are not designated as Qualified Performance
Awards; provided, however, that in no event may the payment of an Award that is not a
Qualified Performance Award be contingent upon the failure to attain a specific level of
performance on the Performance Measure(s) applicable to a Qualified Performance Award for the
same Performance Cycle. In the event the Committee designates an Award as a Qualified
Performance Award, any determinations of the Committee pertaining to Performance Measures and
other terms and conditions of such Qualified Performance Award (other than a determination
under paragraph (iii)(D) below to reduce the amount of the Award) shall be in writing and made
within the Qualified Performance Award Determination Period. A Performance Award that the
Committee designates as a Qualified Performance Award shall be subject to the following
additional requirements.

     (i) Performance Cycles. Performance Awards that are designated as Qualified
Performance Awards shall be awarded in connection with a Performance Cycle. The Committee
shall determine the length of a Performance Cycle within the Qualified Performance Award
Determination Period. In the event that the Committee determines that a Performance Cycle
shall be a period greater than one fiscal year, a new Qualified Performance Award may be
granted and a new Performance Cycle may commence prior to the completion of the
Performance Cycle associated with the prior Qualified Performance Award.

     (ii) Participants. Within the Qualified Performance Award Determination Period,
the Committee shall determine the Covered Employees who shall be eligible to receive a
Qualified Performance Award for such Performance Cycle.

     (iii) Performance Measures; Targets; Vesting and Payout Formulas.

     (A) Within the Qualified Performance Award Determination Period, the Committee
shall fix and establish, in writing, (1) the Performance Measure(s) that shall apply to
the Qualified Performance Award for the Performance Cycle; (2) the target amount of
such Qualified Performance Award that shall be payable to each such Covered Employee;
and (3) the vesting and/or payout formula for computing the actual amount of such
Qualified Performance Award that shall become vested and/or payable with respect to
each level of

- 22 -

 

attained performance. Towards this end, such vesting and/or payout formula shall,
based on objective criteria, set forth for the applicable Performance Measure(s) the
minimum level of performance that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before
any such Qualified Performance Award shall become vested and/or payable and the
percentage of the target amount of such Award that shall be vested and/or payable to
each Covered Employee upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or
exceed the minimum required level.

     (B) The Committee may, in its discretion, select Performance Measures that
measure the performance of Schering-Plough or one or more business units, divisions,
Affiliates or Subsidiaries of Schering-Plough. The Committee may select Performance
Measures that are absolute or relative to the performance of one or more comparable
companies or an index of comparable companies.

     (C) In applying Performance Measures, the Committee may, in its discretion,
exclude unanticipated, unusual or infrequently occurring items (including any event
described in Section 5.3 and the cumulative effect of changes in the law, regulations
or accounting rules), and may determine within the Qualified Performance Award
Determination Period to exclude other items.

     (D) Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (c)(iii) to the contrary, the
Committee may, on a case by case basis and in its sole discretion, reduce, but not
increase, the amount of any Qualified Performance Award that is payable to a Covered
Employee with respect to a Performance Cycle, provided, however, that no such reduction
shall result in an increase in the dollar amount of any such Qualified Performance
Award payable to any other Covered Employee.

     (iv) Committee Certification. No Qualified Performance Award shall vest or be
paid to a Covered Employee under the Plan unless and until the Committee certifies in
writing the level of attainment of the applicable Performance Measure(s) for the
applicable Performance Cycle.

     (v) Limitation on Awards. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.3, the dollar value of
any Qualified Performance Award payable in cash to any Covered Employee shall not exceed
$3 million (or, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, $6,000,000) for any 12-month
Performance Cycle; provided that for any Performance Cycle that is the same as a
performance period under the Operations Management Team Incentive Plan, such amounts shall
serve as combined limits under both this Plan and the Operations Management Team Incentive
Plan. For any Performance Cycle greater than 12 months in duration, this maximum will be
adjusted proportionately.

- 23 -

 

     (vi) Code Section 162(m). It is the intent of Schering-Plough that Qualified
Performance Awards granted to Covered Employees under the Plan shall satisfy the
applicable requirements of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder so that
Schering-Plough’s tax deduction for Qualified Performance Awards is not disallowed in
whole or in part by operation of Code Section 162(m). If any provision of this Plan
pertaining to Qualified Performance Awards, or any Award to a Covered Employee under the
Plan that the Committee designates as a Qualified Performance Award, would otherwise
frustrate or conflict with such intent, that provision or Award shall be interpreted and
deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

4.9 Substitute Awards. The Committee may make Awards under the Plan to Acquired
Grantees through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding stock-based awards
previously granted to such Acquired Grantees. Such assumed or substituted Awards will be subject to
the terms and conditions of the original awards made by the Acquired Company, with such adjustments
therein as the Committee considers appropriate to give effect to the relevant provisions of any
agreement for the acquisition of the Acquired Company. Any grant of Stock Options pursuant to this
Section 4.9 will be subject to the rules set out in Section 424 of the Code and any final
regulations published thereunder, regardless of whether the Stock Option is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option.

4.10 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a
Participant incurs a Termination for Cause, then all of the Participant’s outstanding Awards under
the Plan (whether or not vested or exercisable) will immediately be cancelled and forfeited and the
special forfeiture provisions of Section 7.2 shall apply. The exercise of any Stock Option or the
payment of any Award may be delayed, in the Committee’s discretion, in the event that a potential
Termination for Cause is pending.

V. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; ADJUSTMENTS

5.1 Shares Available. The Shares issuable under the Plan are authorized but unissued
Shares or Shares held in Schering-Plough’s treasury. Subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 5.3, the total number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be issued under the Plan
may not exceed 92,000,000 Shares, which includes the number of Shares that have been approved by
Schering-Plough shareholders for issuance under the Prior Plan, but which have not been awarded
under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date and which are no longer available for issuance under
Prior Plan for any reason (including without limitation, the discontinuance or termination of the
Prior Plan). Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.3, from such aggregate limit:

     (a) No more than an aggregate of 46,000,000 Shares may be issued under Incentive Stock
Options during the term of the Plan;

- 24 -

 

     (b) No more than an aggregate of 46,000,000 Shares may be issued in the form of
Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards payable in Shares during
the term of the Plan; and

     (c) The maximum aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Stock Options may be
granted to any one Participant during any fiscal year of Schering-Plough may not exceed
3,000,000 Shares.

5.2 Counting Rules.

     (a) Shares Counted. For purposes of determining the number of Shares remaining
available for issuance under the Plan (including Shares originally approved under the Prior
Plan, but made available for issuance under this Plan in accordance with Section 5.1), only
Awards payable in Shares shall be counted. In addition, Shares that are tendered or withheld
in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price of a Stock Option, or in satisfaction of the
withholding obligations of an Award shall be counted against the remaining Shares and shall no
longer be available for issuance under the Plan.

     (b) Shares Not Counted. The following Shares relating to Awards under this Plan
(or Awards under the Prior Plan that are outstanding as of the Effective Date) are not counted
as issued Shares for purposes of determining the number of Shares remaining available for
issuance under the Plan, and shall remain available for issuance under the Plan.

     (i) Shares underlying awards that are settled in cash in lieu of Shares;

     (ii) Shares underlying Awards that expire, are forfeited, cancelled or terminate for
any other reason without the issuance of Shares;

     (iii) Shares issued in connection with Awards that are assumed, converted or
substituted as the result of Schering-Plough’s acquisition of an Acquired Company or the
combination of Schering-Plough with another company; and

     (iv) Shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited and returned to Schering-Plough
upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment.

5.3 Adjustments. If there is a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock
split, reverse stock split, dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares,
other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, split-up,
spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities, the
issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar
corporate transaction or event, then in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, an adjustment in the number or
kind of Shares that may be issued under the Plan, the number of Shares underlying an outstanding
Award, the Exercise price of a Stock

- 25 -

 

Option or the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to a Deferred Stock Account will be made by
the Committee and such adjustment will be conclusive and binding for all purposes under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made with respect to Qualified Performance
Awards granted to a Covered Employee to the extent such adjustment would cause the Award to fail to
qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

5.4 Consequences of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, Awards that are outstanding as of the effective date of a Change in Control shall be subject
to the following provisions.

     (a) Replacement Awards. Any Award granted hereunder shall be deemed to apply
to the securities, cash or other property (subject to adjustment by cash payment in lieu of
fractional interests) to which a holder of the number of Shares equal to the number of Shares
underlying the Participant’s Awards would have been entitled pursuant to the Change in
Control, and proper provisions shall be made to ensure that this clause is a condition to any
transaction that would result in a Change in Control; provided, however, that during the
60-day period beginning on the date of Change in Control, the Committee (or, if applicable,
the board of directors of the entity assuming Schering-Plough’s obligations under the Plan)
may, in its discretion, take any of the following actions with respect to each Award that is
outstanding as of the effective date of Change in Control:

     (i) Modify or adjust the Award to reflect the Change in Control; or

     (ii) Cancel the Award and cause the acquiring or surviving corporation to replace
it with an equivalent right after the Change in Control.

     (b) Stock Options. All outstanding Stock Options that have not become
exercisable as of the effective date of a Change in Control shall continue to become
exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule set out in the applicable Award
Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant incurs an Involuntary
Termination within two years after the effective date of a Change in Control, all of the
Participant’s outstanding Stock Options shall become immediately vested and exercisable as of
the date of such Involuntary Termination and shall remain exercisable for the full duration
of the Stock Option’s original term, notwithstanding the Participant’s Termination of
Employment. In addition, during the 60-day period beginning on the date of Change in
Control, the Committee may, in its discretion, cancel all or a portion of a Participant’s
remaining Stock Options and, in consideration of such cancellation, pay the Participant with
respect to each Share issuable under the cancelled Stock Option an amount in cash equal to
the amount by which the Change in Control Price exceeds the Exercise Price of the cancelled
Stock Option.

     (c) Deferred Stock Units. All Deferred Stock Units credited to a
Participant’s Deferred Stock Account but not yet distributed as of the effective date of the

- 26 -

 

Change in Control shall be paid in Shares at the scheduled time and in the scheduled
manner set out in the applicable Award Certificate at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event a Participant incurs an Involuntary Termination within two years
after the effective date of a Change in Control, all Deferred Stock Units credited to a
Participant’s Deferred Stock Account but not yet distributed as of the date of such
Involuntary Termination shall become immediately vested and non-forfeitable and shall be
distributed in a single lump sum cash payment, in lieu of Shares, as soon practicable
thereafter (but in no event more than 30 days after the date of such Involuntary Termination)
at a dollar value per Deferred Stock Unit equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
date of termination.

     (d) Restricted Stock and Other Stock-Based Awards. All restrictions and
conditions on any Shares of Restricted Stock or Other Stock-Based Awards shall continue to
apply for the duration of the Restriction Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event a Participant incurs an Involuntary Termination within two years after the effective
date of a Change in Control, all restrictions and conditions on any Shares of Restricted
Stock or Other Stock-Based Awards shall immediately lapse or be deemed satisfied, as the case
may be, as of the date of such Involuntary Termination and all such Awards shall become
vested and non-forfeitable as of such date.

     (e) Performance Awards. The Committee shall set out in the Award Certificate
for each Performance Award the terms and conditions that shall apply to such Performance
Award in the event the Award is outstanding as of the effective date of a Change in Control.

5.5 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan. In the
event that a Participant acquires the right to receive a fractional Share under the Plan, such
Participant shall receive, in lieu of such fractional Share, cash equal to the Fair Market Value of
the fractional Share as of the date of settlement.

VI. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

6.1 Amendment. The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board
without the approval of shareholders of Schering-Plough, except that no material revision to the
terms of the Plan will be effective without first obtaining the approval of the amendment by the
holders of a majority of the Shares present in person or by proxy at a meeting of Schering-Plough’s
shareholders and entitled to vote at such meeting. A revision is “material” for this purpose if,
among other changes, it (a) materially increases the number of Shares that may be issued under the
Plan (other than an increase pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Plan), (b) changes the types of Awards
available under the Plan, (c) expands the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the
Plan, (d) extends the term of the Plan, (e) decreases the Exercise Price at which Stock Options may
be granted, (f) reduces the Exercise Price of outstanding Stock Options, or (g) results in the
replacement of outstanding Stock Options with new Awards that have an Exercise Price

- 27 -

 

that is lower than the Exercise Price of the replaced Stock Options. No amendment of the Plan made
without the Participant’s written consent may adversely affect any right of a Participant with
respect to an outstanding Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan is intended to
incorporate all applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and guidance issued thereunder
by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service, and the Plan will be deemed to be
amended as necessary to comply with those requirements.

6.2 Termination. The Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of the following dates or
events to occur:

     (a) The adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating the Plan; or

     (b) December 31, 2011.

     No Awards shall be granted under this Plan after it has been terminated. However, the
termination of the Plan shall not alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of any person,
without such person’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan. After the
termination of the Plan, any previously granted Awards shall remain in effect and shall continue to
be governed by the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Certificate.

VII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     7.1 Nontransferability of Awards. No Award under the Plan shall be subject in any manner
to alienation, anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or transfer, and no other
persons will otherwise acquire any rights therein, except as provided below.

     (a) Any Award may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

     (b) The Committee may provide in the Award Certificate that all or any part of the
vested portion of a Nonqualified Stock Option may, subject to the prior written consent of
the Committee, be transferred to one or more of the following classes of donees:

          (i) a family member;

          (ii) a trust for the benefit of a family member; or

          (iii) a limited partnership whose partners are solely family members, or any other legal
entity set up for the benefit of family members.

          For purposes of this paragraph (b), a family member means a Participant’s spouse, children,
grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews,
including adopted, in-laws and step family members.

- 28 -

 

     (c) Any transferred Award will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as
provided in the Plan and the applicable Award Certificate. The Participant or the
Participant’s estate will remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any
federal, state or local tax authority. The Committee may, in its discretion, disallow all or
a part of any transfer of an Award pursuant to paragraph (b) above unless and until the
Participant makes arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the payment of any
withholding tax. The Participant must immediately notify the Committee, in the form and
manner required by the Committee, of any proposed transfer of an Award pursuant to paragraph
(b). No transfer will be effective until the Committee consents to the transfer in writing.

     (d) Except as otherwise provided in the Award Certificate, any Nonqualified Stock
Option transferred by a Participant pursuant to this paragraph (d) may be exercised by the
transferee only to the extent that the Award would have been exercisable by the Participant
had no transfer occurred. The transfer of Shares upon exercise of the Award will be
conditioned on the payment of any withholding tax.

     (e) Restricted Stock may be freely transferred after the restrictions lapse or are
satisfied and the Shares are delivered; provided, however, that Restricted Stock awarded to
an affiliate of Schering-Plough may be transferred only pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, or pursuant to an effective registration for resale under the Securities Act.
For purposes of this paragraph (e), “affiliate” will have the meaning assigned to that term
under Rule 144.

     (f) In no event may a Participant transfer an Incentive Stock Option other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution.

7.2 Special Forfeiture Provision. Except as otherwise provided in the current employment
agreement between Schering-Plough and the relevant Employee (which agreement shall take precedent
over this Section 7.2), and if the Committee, in its discretion, provides otherwise in the
applicable Award Certificate, if a Participant either —

     (a) incurs a Termination for Cause or

     (b) incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason other than other than death,
Disability, Retirement, Termination Due to Business Divestiture or Involuntary Termination
and, within one year after such Termination of Employment, without prior written approval of
the Committee, enters into an employment or consulting arrangement (including service as an
agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person
engaged in any business in which Schering-Plough or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries is engaged
that, in the sole judgment of the Committee, is competitive with Schering-Plough

- 29 -

 

or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, then the Participant shall forfeit and return to
Schering-Plough —

     (i) the amount of any profit realized upon the exercise of any Stock Options at any
time on or after the date that is ninety (90) days immediately prior to the date of the
Participant’s Termination of Employment;

     (ii) all shares of Restricted Stock that are not then vested or which vested during
the three-month period immediately preceding such Termination of Employment; and

     (iii) all Shares issued to the Participant in payment of the Participant’s Deferred
Stock Units during the three-month period immediately preceding such Termination of
Employment.

7.3 Withholding of Taxes. The Committee, in its discretion, may satisfy a Participant’s
tax withholding obligations by any of the following methods or any method as it determines to be in
accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides, has domicile or
performs services.

     (a) Stock Options. As a condition to the delivery of Shares pursuant to the
exercise of a Stock Option, the Committee may require that the Participant, at the time of
exercise, pay to Schering-Plough by cash, certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or
postal or express money order an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding
obligations. The Committee may, however, in its discretion, accept payment of tax withholding
obligations through any of the Exercise Price payment methods described in Section 4.4(f).

     (b) Other Awards Payable in Shares. The Participant shall satisfy the
Participant’s tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the release of
restrictions on Restricted Stock or the payment of Deferred Stock Units or Other Stock-Based
Awards by payment to Schering-Plough by cash, certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or
postal or express money order an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding
obligations, provided that the format is approved by Schering-Plough or a designated
third-party administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the requirements of
applicable law, Schering-Plough may also satisfy the Participant’s tax withholding
obligations by other methods, including selling or withholding Shares that would otherwise be
available for delivery, provided that the Committee has specifically approved such payment
method in advance.

     (c) Cash Awards. Schering-Plough may satisfy a Participant’s tax withholding
obligations arising in connection with the payment of any Award in cash by withholding cash
from such payment.

- 30 -

 

7.4 Investment Representation. As a condition to any distribution of Shares pursuant to
Awards under the Plan, Schering-Plough may require a Participant to represent in writing that such
Shares are being acquired for the Participant’s own account for investment and not with a view to,
or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any part thereof.

7.5 Code Section 83(b) Elections. Neither Schering-Plough, any Affiliate or Subsidiary, nor
the Committee shall have any responsibility in connection with a Participant’s election, or attempt
to elect, under Code Section 83(b) to include the value of a Restricted Stock Award in the
Participant’s gross income for the year of payment. Any Participant who makes a Code Section 83(b)
election with respect to any such Award shall promptly notify the Committee of such election and
provide the Committee with a copy thereof.

7.6 Beneficiary Designations. Designations of Beneficiaries by a Participant shall be
made in writing and filed with Schering-Plough in such form and in such manner as the Committee may
from time to time prescribe. A Participant may change his or her Beneficiaries in the same manner
at any time prior to the death of the Participant. If a Participant dies without having designated
any surviving Beneficiaries, the Participant’s remaining interests in Awards under the Plan shall
be distributed to the legal representative of his estate or in accordance with the Participant’s
will.

7.7 No Implied Rights. The establishment and operation of the Plan, including eligibility
as a Participant, shall not be construed as conferring any legal or other right upon any Employee
for the continuation of his or her employment for any Performance Cycle or any other period.
Schering-Plough expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and in
Schering-Plough’s sole discretion, to discharge any individual and/or treat him or her without
regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant in the Plan.

7.8 No Obligation to Exercise Options. The granting of a Stock Option shall impose no
obligation upon the Participant to exercise such Stock Option.

7.9 No Rights as Shareholders. A Participant granted an Award under the Plan shall have no
rights as a shareholder of Schering-Plough with respect to the Award unless and until such time as
certificates for the Shares underlying the Award are registered in such Participant’s name. The
right of any Participant to receive an Award by virtue of participation in the Plan shall be no
greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of Schering-Plough.

7.10 Indemnification of Committee. Schering-Plough shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by law, each person made or threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal action
or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, or his testator or intestate, is or was a member of
the Committee or a delegate of the Committee so acting.

- 31 -

 

7.11 No Required Segregation of Assets. Neither Schering-Plough nor any Affiliate or
Subsidiary shall be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards
granted pursuant to the Plan. In no event shall any interest be paid or accrued on any Award,
including unpaid installments of an Award.

7.12 Nature of Payments. All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of
services for Schering-Plough or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries. Any gain realized pursuant to
Awards under the Plan constitutes a special incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be
taken into account as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of Schering-
Plough or any Affiliate or Subsidiary except as may otherwise be specifically provided in the
applicable employee benefit plan.

7.13 Compliance with Applicable Law. The obligations of Schering-Plough to issue or
transfer Shares pursuant to Awards shall be subject to (a) the effectiveness of a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Shares, (b) the
condition that the Shares be listed (or authorized for listing upon official notice of issuance)
upon each stock exchange upon which Shares are listed and (c) compliance with all applicable laws
and approvals by all governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. With respect to
Reporting Persons, it is the intent of Schering-Plough that the Plan and all transactions under the
Plan comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act.
If any provision or this Plan or of any grant of an Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict
with such intent, that provision shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such
conflict. No Participant will be entitled to a grant, exercise, transfer or payment of any Award if
the grant, exercise, transfer or payment would violate the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 or any other applicable law. In addition, it is the intent of Schering-Plough that the Plan
and applicable Awards under the Plan comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 162(m) and
422 of the Code, and to the extent an Award is subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the
Code, it is the intent of Schering-Plough that the Award be administered in a manner that satisfies
such requirements. To the extent that any legal requirement of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or
Section 162(m), 409A or 422 of the Code as set forth in the Plan ceases to be required under such
Section, that Plan provision shall cease to apply. The Committee may revoke any Award if it is
contrary to law or modify a Award (to the extent permitted by applicable law) to bring it into
compliance with any valid and mandatory government regulation.

7.14 Headings. Section and paragraph headings are for reference only. In the event of a
conflict between the title and content of a section or paragraph, the content shall control.

7.15 Governing Law; Severability. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken
thereunder shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of
the State of New Jersey and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable
federal law. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or

- 32 -

 

unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which
shall remain in full force and effect.
