AMENDED AND RESTATED

WOLVERINE WORLD WIDE, INC.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN OF 2003

SECTION 1

Establishment of Plan; Purpose of Plan

1.1 Establishment of Plan. The Company hereby establishes the STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN OF 2003
(the “Plan”) for its corporate, divisional and Subsidiary officers and key employees. The Plan
permits the grant and award of Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Stock Awards.

1.2 Purpose of Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide officers and key management
employees of the Company, its divisions and its Subsidiaries with an increased incentive to
contribute to the long-term performance and growth of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to join the
interests of officers and key employees with the interests of the Company’s stockholders through
the opportunity for increased stock ownership and to attract and retain officers and key employees.
The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in structuring long-term
incentive compensation to best promote the foregoing objectives. Within that context, it is
intended that most awards of Stock Options under the Plan are to provide performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and the Plan shall be interpreted, administered and
amended if necessary to achieve that purpose.

Administration

3.1 Power and Authority. The Committee shall administer the Plan. The Committee may delegate
record keeping, calculation, payment and other ministerial administrative functions to individuals
designated by the Committee, who may be officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
Except as limited in this Plan or as may be necessary to ensure that this Plan provides
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall have all of
the express and implied powers and duties set forth in the Bylaws of the Company and this Plan,
shall have full power and authority to interpret the provisions of the Plan and Incentive Awards
granted under the Plan and shall have full power and authority to supervise the administration of
the Plan and Incentive Awards granted under the Plan and to make all other determinations
considered necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All determinations,
interpretations and selections made by the Committee regarding the
Plan shall be final and conclusive. The Committee shall hold its meetings at such times and places
as it considers advisable. Action may be taken by a written instrument signed by a majority of the
members of the Committee and any action so taken shall be fully as effective as if it had been
taken at a meeting duly called and held. The Committee shall make such rules and regulations for
the conduct of its business as it considers advisable.

 

3

 

3.2 Grants or Awards to Participants. In accordance with and subject to the provisions of the
Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to determine all provisions of Incentive Awards as the
Committee may consider necessary or desirable and as are consistent with the terms of the Plan,
including, without limitation, the following: (a) the persons who shall be selected as
Participants; (b) the nature and, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of
the Plan, extent of the Incentive Awards to be made to each Participant (including the number of
shares of Common Stock to be subject to each Incentive Award, any exercise price, the manner in
which an Incentive Award will vest or become exercisable and the form of payment for the Incentive
Award); (c) the time or times when Incentive Awards will be granted; (d) the duration of each
Incentive Award; and (e) the restrictions and other conditions to which payment or vesting of
Incentive Awards may be subject.

3.3 Amendments or Modifications of Awards. The Committee shall have the authority to amend
or modify the terms of any outstanding Incentive Award in any manner, provided that the amended or
modified terms are not prohibited by the Plan as then in effect and provided such actions do not
cause an Incentive Award not already subject to Section 409A of the Code to become subject to
Section 409A of the Code, unless the Committee expressly determines to make an Incentive Award
subject to Section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, the authority to: (a) modify
the number of shares or other terms and conditions of an Incentive Award; provided that any
increase in the number of shares of an Incentive Award other than pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be
considered to be a new grant with respect to such additional shares for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code and such new grant shall be made at Market Value on the date of grant; (b) extend the term
of an Incentive Award to a date that is no later than the earlier of the latest date upon which the
Incentive Award could have expired by its terms under any circumstances or the 10th
anniversary of the date of grant (for purposes of clarity, as permitted under Section 409A of the
Code, if the term of a Stock Option is extended at a time when the Stock Option price equals or
exceeds the Market Value, it will not be an extension of the term of the Stock Option, but instead
will be treated as a modification of the Stock Option and a new Stock Option will be treated as
having been granted); (c) accelerate the exercisability or vesting or otherwise terminate, waive or
modify any restrictions relating to an Incentive Award; (d) accept the surrender of any outstanding
Incentive Award; and (e) to the extent not previously exercised or vested, authorize the grant of
new Incentive Awards in substitution for surrendered Incentive Awards; provided, however, that such
grant of new Incentive Awards will be considered to be a new grant for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code and such new grant shall be made at Market Value on the date of the new grant; provided
further, that Incentive Awards issued under the Plan may not be repriced, replaced, regranted
through cancellation or modified without stockholder approval if the effect of such repricing,
replacement, regrant or modification would be to reduce the exercise price of then outstanding
Incentive Awards to the same Participants.

3.4 Indemnification of Committee Members. Neither any member nor former member of the
Committee nor any individual to whom authority is or has been delegated shall be
personally responsible or liable for any act or omission in connection with the performance of
powers or duties or the exercise of discretion or judgment in the administration and implementation
of the Plan. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Company from and against any cost, liability or expense imposed or
incurred in connection with such person’s or the Committee’s taking or failing to take any action
under the Plan. Each such person shall be justified in relying on information furnished in
connection with the Plan’s administration by any appropriate person or persons.

SECTION 4

Shares Subject to the Plan

4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan, the total
number of shares of Common Stock available for Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be 1,300,000
shares of Common Stock (not including any adjustments occurring before the date of this amendment
pursuant to Section 4.3). The following shares shall replace shares previously awarded as Incentive
Awards under the Plan and be available for future Incentive Awards under the Plan: (i) shares
subject to Incentive Awards that are canceled, surrendered, modified, exchanged for substitute
Incentive Awards or expire or terminate prior to the exercise or vesting of the Incentive Award in
full; (ii) shares that are surrendered to the Company in connection with the exercise or vesting of
an Incentive Award or surrendered to satisfy withholding requirements, whether previously owned or
otherwise subject to such Incentive Award; and (iii) shares of Common Stock repurchased by the
Company with the cash paid by Participants for the exercise price of Incentive Awards. No more than
15% of the shares authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to this Section 4.1 may be issued
as Restricted Stock or Stock Awards, combined. Shares of Common Stock subject to this Section 4.1
shall be authorized and may be either unissued or treasury shares or shares repurchased by the
Company, including shares purchased on the open market.

4.2 Limitation Upon Incentive Awards. No Participant shall be granted, during any calendar
year, Incentive Awards with respect to more than 300,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan. The purpose of this Section 4.2 is to ensure
that the Plan may provide performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and this
Section 4.2 shall be interpreted, administered and amended if necessary to achieve that purpose.

4.3 Adjustments.

(a) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding changes by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other
general distribution of Common Stock or other securities to holders of Common Stock, the
number and kind of securities subject to Incentive Awards and reserved for issuance under
the Plan and the limitation provided in Section 4.2, together with applicable exercise
prices, as well as the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, shall be
adjusted appropriately. No fractional shares shall be issued pursuant to the Plan and any
fractional shares resulting from such adjustments shall be eliminated from the respective
Incentive Awards.

 

5

 

(b) Other Actions Affecting Common Stock. If there occurs, other than as described in
the preceding subsection, any merger, business combination, recapitalization,
reclassification, subdivision or combination approved by the Board that would result in the
Persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of any
such transaction owning or holding, in lieu of or in addition to shares of Common Stock,
other securities, money and/or property (or the right to receive other securities, money
and/or property) immediately after the effective time of such transaction, then the
outstanding Incentive Awards (including exercise prices) and reserves for Incentive Awards
under this Plan shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as shall be equitable
under the circumstances. It is intended that in the event of any such transaction, Incentive
Awards under this Plan shall entitle the holder of each Incentive Award to receive (upon
exercise in the case of Stock Options), in lieu of or in addition to shares of Common Stock,
any other securities, money and/or property receivable upon consummation of any such
transaction by holders of Common Stock with respect to each share of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of such transaction; upon any such
adjustment, holders of Incentive Awards under this Plan shall have only the right to receive
in lieu of or in addition to shares of Common Stock such other securities, money and/or
other property as provided by the adjustment. If the agreement, resolution or other document
approved by the Board to effect any such transaction provides for the adjustment of
Incentive Awards under the Plan in connection with such transaction, then the adjustment
provisions contained in such agreement, resolution or other document shall be final and
conclusive.

SECTION 5

Stock Options

5.1 Grant. A Participant may be granted one or more Stock Options under the Plan. The
Committee, in its discretion and except as otherwise limited by the Plan, may provide in the
initial grant of a Stock Option or other Incentive Award for the subsequent automatic grant of
additional Stock Options for the number of shares, if any, that are surrendered to the Company in
connection with the exercise or vesting of the initial or any subsequently granted Stock Option or
other Incentive Award. Stock Options shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with
the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The
Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan,
to the vesting, or the acceleration of vesting based on any of the performance goals provided in
Section 6.2, of Stock Options as it considers appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion,
may establish vesting schedules (i) based upon Company performance, or (ii) that extend over a
period of time selected by the Committee, provided, that such period of time shall not provide for
full vesting in a period of less than 3 years. In addition, the Committee may vary, among
Participants and among Stock Options granted to the same Participant, any and all of the terms and
conditions of the Stock Options granted under the Plan. Subject to the limitation imposed by
Section 4.2 of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of
Stock Options granted to each Participant. The Committee may designate whether or not a Stock
Option is to be considered an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422(b) of the Code;
provided, that the number of shares of Common Stock that may be designated as subject to incentive
stock options for any given Participant shall
be limited to that number of shares that become exercisable for the first time by the Participant
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and have an
aggregate Market Value less than or equal to $100,000 (or such other amount as may be set forth in
the Code) and all shares subject to an Incentive Award that have a Market Value in excess of such
aggregate amount shall automatically be subject to Stock Options that are not incentive stock
options.

 

6

 

5.2 Stock Option Agreements. Stock Options shall be evidenced by stock option agreements
and/or certificates of award containing the terms and conditions applicable to such Stock Options.
To the extent not covered by the stock option agreement, the terms and conditions of this Section 5
shall govern.

5.3 Stock Option Price. The per share Stock Option price shall be determined by the Committee,
but shall be a price that is equal to or greater than 100% of the Market Value of the Company’s
Common Stock on the date of grant.

5.4 Medium and Time of Payment. The exercise price for each share purchased pursuant to a
Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be payable in cash or, if the Committee consents or
provides in the applicable stock option agreement or grant, in actual or attested shares of Common
Stock owned by the Participant or other consideration substantially equivalent to cash. To the
extent any such amendment would not cause a Stock Option to become subject to Section 409A of the
Code, unless the Committee expressly determines to make a Stock Option subject to Section 409A of
the Code, the time and terms of payment may be amended with the consent of a Participant before or
after exercise of a Stock Option. The Committee may from time to time authorize payment of all or a
portion of the Stock Option price in the form of a full recourse promissory note or other deferred
payment installments according to such terms as the Committee may approve. The Board may restrict
or suspend the power of the Committee to permit such loans and may require that adequate security
be provided. The Committee may implement a program for the broker-assisted cashless exercise of
Stock Options. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not extend credit, directly or
indirectly, to an executive officer in violation of Section 13 of the Act.

5.5 Stock Options Granted to 10% Stockholders. Unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws
and regulations, no Stock Option granted to any Participant who at the time of such grant owns,
together with stock attributed to such Participant under Section 424(d) of the Code, more than 10%
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries may be designated as an incentive stock option, unless such Stock Option provides an
exercise price equal to at least 110% of the Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant
and the exercise of the Stock Option after the expiration of 5 years from the date of grant of the
Stock Option is prohibited by its terms.

5.6 Limits on Exercisability. Except as set forth in Section 5.5, Stock Options shall be
exercisable for such periods, not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant, as may be fixed by the
Committee. At the time of exercise of a Stock Option, the holder of the Stock Option, if requested
by the Committee, must represent to the Company that the shares are being acquired for investment
and not with a view to the distribution thereof. The Committee may in its discretion require a
Participant to continue the Participant’s service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for a
certain length of time prior to a Stock Option becoming exercisable and may eliminate such delayed
vesting provisions.

 

7

 

5.7 Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) General. Unless the Committee otherwise consents or permits (before or after the
option grant) or unless the stock option agreement or grant provides otherwise, Stock
Options granted under the Plan may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated except by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
and, as a condition to any transfer permitted by the Committee or the terms of the stock
option agreement or grant, the transferee must execute a written agreement permitting the
Company to withhold from the shares subject to the Stock Option a number of shares having a
Market Value at least equal to the amount of any federal, state, local and foreign
withholding or other taxes associated with or resulting from the exercise of a Stock Option.
All provisions of a Stock Option that are determined with reference to the Participant,
including without limitation those that refer to the Participant’s employment with the
Company or its Subsidiaries, shall continue to be determined with reference to the
Participant after any transfer of a Stock Option.

(b) Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose other restrictions on any shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option under the Plan as the
Committee deems advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable
federal or state securities laws.

5.8 Termination of Employment or Officer Status. Unless the Committee otherwise consents or
permits (before or after the option grant) or unless the stock option agreement or grant provides
otherwise:

(a) General. If a Participant ceases to be employed by or an officer of the Company or
a Subsidiary for any reason other than the Participant’s death, disability, Retirement,
consensual severance or termination for cause, the Participant may exercise his or her Stock
Options in accordance with their terms for a period of 3 months after such termination of
employment or officer status, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to
exercise the Stock Options on the date of termination. For purposes of the Plan, the
following shall not be considered a termination of employment or officer status: (i) a
transfer of an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of absence, duly
authorized in writing by the Company, for military service or for any other purpose approved
by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; (iii) a leave of absence
in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided that the
employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed by statute, contract or written policy of
the Company; or (iv) a termination of employment with continued service as an officer. For
purposes of the Plan, termination of employment shall be considered to occur on the date on
which the employee is no longer obligated to perform services for the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and the employee’s right to re- employment is not guaranteed by statute,
contract or written policy of the Company, regardless of whether the employee continues to
receive compensation from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after such date.

(b) Death. If a Participant dies either while an employee or officer of the Company or
a Subsidiary or after the termination of employment other than for cause but during the time
when the Participant could have exercised a Stock Option, the Stock Options issued to such
Participant shall become fully vested and exercisable in
accordance with their terms by the personal representative of such Participant or other
successor to the interest of the Participant for one year after the Participant’s death, but
not beyond the original terms of the Stock Options.

 

8

 

(c) Disability. If a Participant ceases to be an employee or officer of the Company or
a Subsidiary due to the Participant’s disability (as defined in the Company’s long-term
disability plan), the Participant shall become fully vested in any Stock Options that had
not been fully vested prior to the disability and the Participant or the personal
representative of the Participant may exercise his or her Stock Options in accordance with
their terms for one year following such termination of employment, but not beyond the
original terms of the Stock Options.

(d) Participant Retirement. Upon a Participant’s Retirement from the Company as an
employee or officer of the Company or a Subsidiary, the Participant shall be fully vested in
his or her Stock Options granted under the Plan and the Participant or the personal
representative of the Participant, in the event Participant dies or is disabled subsequent
to his or her Retirement, may exercise the Stock Options in accordance with their terms
during the remaining term of the Stock Options.

(e) Consensual Severance. If a Participant terminates employment with the Company or a
Subsidiary under circumstances (other than death, disability or Retirement) in which the
Committee determines that partial or full vesting of his or her Stock Options is in the best
interests of the Company, the Committee may, in its sole discretion either before or after
such termination, partially or fully vest any or all of the Participant’s Stock Options that
have not been fully vested prior to such termination and permit the Participant to exercise
his or her Stock Options in accordance with their terms for a period of time as may be
determined by the Committee, but not beyond the original term of the Stock Options.

(f) Termination for Cause. If a Participant is terminated for cause, the Participant
shall have no further right to exercise any Stock Options previously granted. The Committee
or officers designated by the Committee shall have absolute discretion to determine whether
a termination is for cause.

SECTION 6

Restricted Stock

6.1 Grant. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Plan, a
Participant may be granted Restricted Stock under the Plan. Restricted Stock shall be subject to
such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions,
consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to the vesting of Restricted Stock as it considers
appropriate. The Committee in its sole discretion may establish vesting schedules (i) based upon
Company performance, or (ii) that extend over a period of time selected by the Committee, provided,
that such period of time shall not provide for full vesting in a period of less than 3 years. The
Committee may also require that certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock be retained
and held in escrow by a designated employee or agent of the
Company or any Subsidiary until any restrictions applicable to shares of Restricted Stock so
retained have been satisfied or lapsed.

 

9

 

6.2 Measurement of Performance. If the Committee imposes performance conditions to the vesting
or acceleration of the vesting of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall select one or more of the
following measurements of the performance of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, operating
divisions or profit centers: net earnings, net earnings before taxes, operating income, revenues,
net sales, net sales and other operating income, return on sales, return on equity, earnings per
share, total stockholder return, economic value added measurements, return on invested capital or
any of the foregoing before or after the effect of acquisitions, divestitures, accounting changes,
restructuring, or other extraordinary items. These factors could be measured against pre-determined
levels or the Company’s relative performance when compared to a pre-established peer group.

6.3 Restricted Stock Agreements. Awards of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by restricted
stock agreements or certificates of award containing such terms and conditions, consistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall from time to time determine. Unless a restricted
stock agreement or certificate provides otherwise, Restricted Stock awards shall be subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.

6.4 Termination of Employment or Officer Status. Unless the Committee otherwise consents or
permits (before or after the grant of Restricted Stock) or unless the restricted stock agreement or
grant provides otherwise:

(a) General. In the event of termination of employment or officer status during the
Restricted Period for any reason other than death, disability, Retirement or consensual
severance, any shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restrictions at the date of such
termination shall automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company. For purposes of
the Plan, the following shall not be considered a termination of employment or officer
status: (i) a transfer of an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of
absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, for military service or for any other
purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; (iii) a
leave of absence in excess of 90 days duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided
that the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed by statute, contract or written
policy of the Company; and (iv) a termination of employment with continued service as an
officer. For purposes of the Plan, termination of employment shall be considered to occur on
the date on which the employee is no longer obligated to perform services for the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries and the employee’s right to re- employment is not guaranteed by
statute, contract or written policy of the Company, regardless of whether the employee
continues to receive compensation from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after such
date.

(b) Death, Retirement or Disability. In the event a Participant terminates his or her
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary because of death, disability (as defined in the
Company’s long-term disability plan) or Retirement during the Restricted Period, the
restrictions applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock shall terminate automatically.

(c) Consensual Severance. If a Participant terminates employment with the Company or a
Subsidiary during the Restricted Period under circumstances (other than
death, disability or Retirement) in which the Committee
determines that partial or full waiver of the
restrictions is in the best interests of the Company, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion either before or
after such termination, waive the restrictions remaining
on any or all remaining shares of Restricted Stock.

 

10

 

6.5 Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) General. Unless the Committee otherwise consents or permits or unless the terms of
the restricted stock agreement or grant provide otherwise: (i) shares of Restricted Stock
shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated during the Restricted Period except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution; and (ii) all rights with respect to Restricted Stock granted to a Participant
under the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by such
Participant, his or her guardian or legal representative.

(b) Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose other restrictions on any shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to an award of Restricted Stock under the Plan as the
Committee considers advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable
federal or state securities laws.

6.6 Legending of Restricted Stock. Any certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock
awarded pursuant to the Plan shall bear the following legend:

The shares represented by this certificate were issued subject to certain restrictions under
the Wolverine World Wide, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2003 (the “Plan”). This certificate
is held subject to the terms and conditions contained in a restricted stock agreement that
includes a prohibition against the sale or transfer of the stock represented by this
certificate except in compliance with that agreement and that provides for forfeiture upon
certain events. Copies of the Plan and the restricted stock agreement are on file in the
office of the Secretary of the Company.

6.7 Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and
other rights with respect to Restricted Stock held of record by such Participant as if the
Participant held unrestricted Common Stock; provided, that the unvested portion of any award of
Restricted Stock shall be subject to any restrictions on transferability or risks of forfeiture
imposed pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.4 and 6.5 of the Plan. Unless the Committee otherwise
determines or unless the terms of the restricted stock agreement or grant provide otherwise, any
noncash dividends or distributions paid with respect to shares of unvested Restricted Stock shall
be subject to the same restrictions as the shares to which such dividends or distributions relate.
Any dividend payment with respect to Restricted Stock shall be made no later than the end of the
calendar year in which the dividends are paid to stockholders, or, if later, the 15th
day of the third month following the date the dividends are paid to stockholders.

SECTION 7

Stock Awards

7.1 Grant. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Plan, a
Participant may be granted one or more Stock Awards under the Plan. Stock Awards shall be subject
to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the
shares of stock subject to Stock Awards shall be issued no later than the 15th day of
the third month after the end of the calendar year in which the award is granted.

 

11

 

7.2 Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and
other rights with respect to shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant as a Stock Award
under this Section 7 upon the Participant becoming the holder of record of the Common Stock granted
pursuant to such Stock Award; provided, that the Committee may impose such restrictions on the
assignment or transfer of Common Stock awarded pursuant to a Stock Award as it considers
appropriate. Any dividend payment with respect to Stock Awards shall be made no later than the end
of the calendar year in which the dividends are paid to stockholders, or, if later, the
15th day of the third month following the date the dividends are paid to stockholders.

SECTION 8

Change in Control

8.1 Acceleration of Vesting. If a Change in Control of the Company shall occur, then, unless
the Committee or the Board otherwise determines with respect to one or more Incentive Awards,
without action by the Committee or the Board: (a) all outstanding Stock Options shall become
immediately exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable during the remaining terms thereof,
regardless of whether the Participants to whom such Stock Options have been granted remain in the
employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary; and (b) all other outstanding Incentive Awards
shall become immediately fully vested and exercisable and nonforfeitable.

8.2 Cash Payment for Stock Options. If a Change in Control of the Company shall occur, then
the Committee, in its sole discretion, and without the consent of any Participant affected thereby,
may determine that some or all Participants holding outstanding Stock Options shall receive, with
respect to some or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Options, as of the
effective date of any such Change in Control of the Company, cash in an amount equal to the greater
of the excess of (a) the highest sales price of the shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the
date immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control of the Company or (b) the
highest price per share actually paid in connection with any Change in Control of the Company over
the exercise price per share of such Stock Options.

SECTION 9

General Provisions

9.1 No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any
Incentive Award under the Plan and there is no obligation of uniformity of treatment of
Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Incentive Awards under the Plan. The terms and
conditions of Incentive Awards of the same type and the determination of the Committee to grant a
waiver or modification of any Incentive Award and the terms and conditions thereof need not be the
same with respect to each Participant or the same Participant.

9.2 Withholding. The Company or a Subsidiary shall be entitled to: (a) withhold and deduct
from future wages of a Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to a
Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection of,
all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state, local and foreign
withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to an Incentive Award, including,
without limitation, the grant, exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends with respect to, an
Incentive Award or a disqualifying disposition of Common Stock received upon exercise of an
incentive stock option; or (b) require a Participant promptly to remit the amount of such
withholding to the Company before taking any action with respect to an Incentive Award. Unless the
Committee determines otherwise, withholding may be satisfied (but only to the extent necessary to
satisfy mandatory statutory withholding amounts) by withholding Common Stock to be received upon
exercise or vesting of an Incentive Award or by delivery to the Company of previously owned Common
Stock.

 

12

 

9.3 Compliance With Laws; Listing and Registration of Shares. All Incentive Awards granted
under the Plan (and all issuances of Common Stock or other securities under the Plan) shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to the requirement that if at any time
the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification
of the shares covered thereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or
the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the grant of such Incentive Award or the issue or purchase of
shares thereunder, such Incentive Award may not be exercised in whole or in part, or the
restrictions on such Incentive Award shall not lapse, unless and until such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Committee.

9.4 No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent
the Company or any Subsidiary from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional
compensation arrangements, including the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards, and
such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

9.5 No Right to Employment. The grant of an Incentive Award shall not be construed as giving a
Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company or
any Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or
any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any written
agreement with a Participant.

9.6 Suspension of Rights under Incentive Awards. The Company, by written notice to a
Participant, may suspend a Participant’s and any transferee’s rights under any Incentive Award for
a period not to exceed 30 days while the termination for cause of that Participant’s employment
with the Company and its Subsidiaries is under consideration.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and
regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware and applicable federal law.

9.8 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for
any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan and
the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included, unless such construction would cause the Plan to fail in its essential purposes.

 

13

 

SECTION 10

Termination and Amendment

The Board may terminate the Plan at any time or may from time to time amend the Plan as it
considers proper and in the best interests of the Company, provided that no such amendment may
impair any outstanding Incentive Award without the consent of the Participant, except according to
the terms of the Plan or the Incentive Award and provided further that the Plan may not be amended
in any way that causes the Plan to fail to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code,
unless the Board expressly determines to amend the Plan to be subject to Section 409A of the Code.
No termination, amendment or modification of the Plan shall become effective with respect to any
Incentive Award previously granted under the Plan without the prior written consent of the
Participant holding such Incentive Award unless such amendment or modification operates solely to
the benefit of the Participant.

SECTION 11

Effective Date and Duration of the Plan

This Plan shall take effect February 13, 2003, subject to approval by the stockholders at the
2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment thereof or at a Special Meeting of
Stockholders. Unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors, no Incentive Award shall be
granted under the Plan after February 12, 2013.

As amended October 9, 2008.

SECTION 3

Administration

3.1 The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
“Committee”). Any power of the Committee may also be exercised by the Board, except to the extent
that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Incentive Award or transaction to
become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or cause an Incentive Award intended to qualify
for treatment as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code not to qualify for
such treatment. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts with action
taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control. The Committee may by resolution authorize
one or more officers of the Company to perform any or all things that the Committee is authorized
and empowered to do or perform under the Plan, and for all purposes under this Plan, such officer
or officers shall be treated as the Committee; provided, however, that the resolution so
authorizing such officer or officers shall specify the total number of Incentive Awards (if any)
such officer or officers may award pursuant to such delegated authority, and any such Incentive
Award shall be subject to the form of Incentive Award agreement theretofore approved by the
Committee. No such officer shall designate himself or herself as a recipient of any Incentive
Awards granted under authority delegated to such officer. In addition, the Committee may delegate
any or all aspects of the day-to-day administration of the Plan to one or more officers or
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, and/or to one or more agents.

3.2 Power and Authority. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall
be authorized and empowered to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the administration of this Plan, including, without limitation: (i) to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not otherwise
defined herein; (ii) to determine which persons are Participants, to which of such Participants, if
any, Incentive Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such Incentive Awards; (iii)
to grant Incentive Awards to Participants and determine the terms and conditions thereof; including
the number of shares subject to Incentive Awards, the exercise or purchase price of such shares and
the circumstances under which Incentive Awards become exercisable or vested or are forfeited or
expire, which terms may but need not be conditioned upon the passage of time, continued employment,
the satisfaction of performance criteria, the occurrence of certain events (including events which
the Board or the Committee determine constitute a Change of Control), or other factors, and the
period of time following termination of employment or service as a member of the Board during which
Incentive Awards may be exercised; (iv) to establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any
performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, exercisability, vesting
and/or ability to retain any
Incentive Award; (v) to prescribe and amend the terms of the agreements or other documents
evidencing Incentive Awards made under this Plan (which need not be identical) and the terms of or
form of any document or notice required to be delivered to the Company by Participants under this
Plan; (vi) to determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to
Section 4.4; (vii) to interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and regulations under this Plan
and the terms and conditions of any Incentive Award granted hereunder, and to make exceptions to
any such provisions in good faith and for the benefit of the Company; and (viii) to make all other
determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

 

4

 

3.3 Determinations by the Committee. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the
Committee regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions
of or operation of any Incentive Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all
Participants, beneficiaries, heirs, assigns or other persons holding or claiming rights under the
Plan or any Incentive Award. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its
sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations
including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of
the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select.

3.4 Amendments or Modifications of Incentive Awards; No Stock Option Repricing. Subject to
Section 13, the Committee shall have the authority to amend or modify the terms of any outstanding
Incentive Award in any manner, provided that the amended or modified terms are not prohibited by
the Plan as then in effect and provided such actions do not cause an Incentive Award not already
subject to Section 409A of the Code to become subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless the
Committee expressly determines to make an Incentive Award subject to Section 409A of the Code,
including, without limitation, the authority to: (a) modify the number of shares or other terms and
conditions of an Incentive Award; provided that any increase in the number of shares of an
Incentive Award other than pursuant to Section 4.4 shall be considered to be a new grant with
respect to such additional shares for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and such new grant shall
be made at Market Value on the date of grant; (b) extend the term of an Incentive Award to a date
that is no later than the earlier of the latest date upon which the Incentive Award could have
expired by its terms under any circumstances or the 10th anniversary of the date of
grant (for purposes of clarity, as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, if the term of a Stock
Option is extended at a time when the Stock Option price equals or exceeds the Market Value, it
will not be an extension of the term of the Stock Option, but instead will be treated as a
modification of the Stock Option and a new Stock Option will be treated as having been granted);
and (c) accelerate the exercisability or vesting or otherwise terminate, waive or modify any
restrictions relating to an Incentive Award; provided, that Stock Options and SARs issued under the
Plan may not be repriced or modified without stockholder approval if the effect of such repricing
or modification would be to reduce the exercise price of such Incentive Awards to the same
Participants.

3.5 Indemnification of Committee Members. Neither any member nor former member of the
Committee nor any individual to whom authority is or has been delegated shall be personally
responsible or liable for any act or omission in connection with the performance of powers or
duties or the exercise of discretion or judgment in the administration and implementation of the
Plan. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Company from and against any cost, liability or
expense imposed or incurred in connection with such person’s or the Committee’s taking or failing
to take any action under the Plan. Each such person shall be justified in relying on information
furnished in connection with the Plan’s administration by any employee, officer, agent or expert
employed or retained by the Committee or the Company.

 

5

 

SECTION 4

Shares Subject to the Plan

4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.4 of the Plan, the total
number of shares of Common Stock issued under Incentive Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not
exceed 4,250,000 shares of Common Stock (not including any adjustments occurring before the date of
this amendment pursuant to Section 4.4), provided that each share of Common Stock issued pursuant
to awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights or Stock Awards
shall be counted against this limit as two (2) shares. For purposes of the first sentence of this
Section 4.1, the number of shares issued pursuant to Incentive Awards under this Plan at any time
shall not be reduced by shares subject to Incentive Awards that have been terminated, expired
unexercised, forfeited or settled in cash. Shares of Common Stock subject to this Section 4.1 shall
be authorized and may be either unissued or treasury shares or shares repurchased by the Company,
including shares purchased on the open market.

4.2 Limitations Upon Incentive Awards. No Participant shall be granted, during any calendar
year, Incentive Awards with respect to more than 450,000 shares of Common Stock, which number shall
be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4 only to the extent that such calculation or
adjustment will not affect the status of any Incentive Award theretofore issued or that may
thereafter be issued as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive
stock options (within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code) granted under the Plan shall not
exceed 4,250,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.4, but only to the extent that
such adjustment will not affect the status of any Stock Option intended to qualify as an incentive
stock option under Section 422(b) of the Code.

4.3 Limitations on Incentive Awards to Directors. The maximum number of shares subject to
Incentive Awards granted during any calendar year to a Participant who is a Director shall equal a
number of shares of Common Stock having a deemed value on the date of grant equal to one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate value of the retainer and full Board meeting fees that the
Committee determines that such Director is eligible to earn in respect of such calendar year, with
the “deemed value” of Stock Awards, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units for purposes only of
this Section 4.3 being calculated as the Market Value of the shares subject to such award, and the
“deemed value” of Stock Options and SARs being calculated as the Market Value of the shares subject
to such award divided by two (2); provided, however, that in the first calendar year in which such
Participant becomes a Director, the maximum number of shares subject to Incentive Awards granted to
the Participant shall equal a number of shares of Common Stock having a deemed value as calculated
under this Section 4.3 on the date of grant equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate
value of the retainer and full Board meeting fees that the Committee determines that such Director
is eligible to earn in respect of a year of service as a Director.

 

6

 

4.4 Adjustments.

(a) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding changes by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other
general distribution of Common Stock or other securities to holders of Common Stock, the
Committee shall provide that the number and kind of securities subject to Incentive Awards
and reserved for issuance under the Plan and the limitation provided in Section 4.2,
together with applicable exercise prices, as well as the number and kind of securities
available for issuance under the Plan, shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as
it determines shall be appropriate under the circumstances. No fractional shares shall be
issued pursuant to the Plan and any fractional shares resulting from such adjustments shall
be eliminated from the respective Incentive Awards.

(b) Other Actions Affecting Common Stock. If there occurs, other than as described in
the preceding subsection, any merger, business combination, recapitalization,
reclassification, subdivision or combination approved by the Board that would result in the
Persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of any
such transaction owning or holding, in lieu of or in addition to shares of Common Stock,
other securities, money and/or property (or the right to receive other securities, money
and/or property) immediately after the effective time of such transaction, then the
Committee shall provide that the outstanding Incentive Awards (including exercise prices)
and reserves for Incentive Awards under this Plan shall be adjusted in such manner and at
such time as it determines shall be appropriate under the circumstances. It is intended that
in the event of any such transaction, Incentive Awards under this Plan shall entitle the
holder of each Incentive Award to receive (upon exercise in the case of Stock Options and
SARs), in lieu of or in addition to shares of Common Stock, any other securities, money
and/or property receivable upon consummation of any such transaction by holders of Common
Stock with respect to each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time of such transaction; upon any such adjustment, holders of Incentive Awards
under this Plan shall have only the right to receive in lieu of or in addition to shares of
Common Stock such other securities, money and/or other property as provided by the
adjustment. If the agreement, resolution or other document approved by the Board to effect
any such transaction provides for the adjustment of Incentive Awards under the Plan in
connection with such transaction, then the adjustment provisions contained in such
agreement, resolution or other document shall be final and conclusive.

SECTION 5

Stock Options

5.1 Grants. Stock Options may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the
termination of the Plan to Participants selected by the Committee. The Committee may grant a Stock
Option or provide for the grant of a Stock Option, either from time-to-time in the discretion of
the Committee or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without
limitation, the achievement of performance goals (including any Qualifying Performance Criteria),
or the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the recipient of the Award. No
Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of stock
subject to Stock Options granted hereunder until said shares have been issued. Each Stock Option
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan need not be
identical but shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan. Stock Options shall be subject to
such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined
by the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to make the timing of the ability to exercise
any Stock Option subject to continued employment, the passage of time and/or such performance
requirements as deemed appropriate by the Committee, provided that in no event shall any Stock
Option awarded to a Participant who is not a Director provide for full vesting in a period of less
than 3 years, except in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or Retirement or upon a
Change in Control. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement, the vesting period
and/or exercisability of a Stock Option shall be adjusted by the Committee during or to reflect the
effects of any period during which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is
employed on a less than full-time basis. The Committee may designate whether or not a Stock Option
is to be considered an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422(b) of the Code, subject to
Section 5.4 of the Plan.

 

7

 

5.2 Stock Option Price. The per share Stock Option price shall be determined by the Committee,
but shall be a price that is equal to or greater than 100% of the Market Value of the Company’s
Common Stock on the date of grant.

5.3 Medium and Time of Payment. The exercise price for each share purchased pursuant to a
Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be payable in cash or, if the Committee consents or so
provides, in actual or attested shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant and meeting holding
requirements established by the Committee or other consideration substantially equivalent to cash.
The Committee may from time to time authorize payment of all or a portion of the Stock Option price
in the form of a full recourse promissory note or other deferred payment installments according to
such terms as the Committee may approve. The Board may restrict or suspend the power of the
Committee to permit such loans and may require that adequate security be provided. The Committee
may implement a program for the broker-assisted cashless exercise of Stock Options. The Company or
any of its Subsidiaries shall not extend credit, directly or indirectly, to an executive officer or
director in violation of Section 13 of the Act.

5.4 Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, in
the case of the grant of a Stock Option that the Committee designates as intended to qualify as an
“incentive stock option” (within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code): (a) if the Participant
owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Company (a “10% Stockholder”), the purchase price of such Stock Option must be at least 110
percent of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the Stock Option must
expire within a period of not more than five (5) years from the date of grant, and (b) termination
of employment will be deemed to occur when the person to whom an Incentive Award was granted ceases
to be an employee (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 5 to the contrary, options designated as incentive stock options shall not be eligible for
treatment under the Code as incentive stock options to the extent that either (i) the aggregate
fair market value of shares of Common Stock (determined as of the time of grant) with respect to
which such Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar
year (under all plans of the Company and
any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, taking Stock Options into account in the order in which they were
granted, and (ii) such Stock Options otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within
three (3) months of termination of employment (or such other period of time provided in Section 422
of the Code).

 

8

 

5.5 Limits on Exercisability. Except as set forth in Section 5.7, Stock Options shall be
exercisable for such periods, not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant, as may be fixed by the
Committee.

5.6 Restrictions on Stock Options.

(a) General. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, Stock Options granted under the
Plan may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. To the extent that the
Committee otherwise determines to permit the transfer of a Stock Option, as a condition
thereof, the transferor and the transferee must execute a written agreement containing such
terms specified by the Committee. Except to the extent the Committee provides otherwise, all
provisions of a Stock Option that are determined with reference to the Participant,
including without limitation those that refer to the Participant’s obligation to satisfy tax
withholding requirements and to vesting or forfeiture being related to the Participant’s
employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, shall continue to be determined with
reference to the Participant after any transfer of a Stock Option.

(b) Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose other restrictions on any shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option under the Plan as the
Committee deems advisable, including, without limitation, holding periods or further
transfer restrictions, forfeiture or “claw-back” provisions, and restrictions under
applicable federal or state securities laws.

5.7 Termination of Employment or Officer or Director Status. Unless the Committee provides
otherwise, Stock Options shall expire upon the earlier of the expiration of the term established
pursuant to Section 5.5 and the date determined as set forth herein:

(a) General. If a Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or service
as a member of the Board terminates for any reason other than the Participant’s death,
disability, Retirement or termination for cause, Stock Options granted to the Participant
may continue to be exercised in accordance with their terms for a period of three (3) months
after such termination of employment or of service as a director, but only to the extent the
Participant was entitled to exercise the Stock Options on the date of such termination. For
purposes of the Plan, the following shall not be considered a termination of employment or
service: (i) a transfer of an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of
absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, for military service or for any other
purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; (iii) a
leave of absence in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided
that the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed by statute, contract or written
policy of the Company; or (iv) a termination of employment with continued service as a
Director or termination of service as a Director when the Participant thereafter serves as
an employee. For purposes of the Plan, termination of employment shall be considered to
occur on the date on which the employee is no longer obligated to perform services for the
Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and the employee’s right to re-employment is not guaranteed by statute,
contract or written policy of the Company, regardless of whether the employee continues to
receive compensation from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after such date.

 

9

 

(b) Death. If a Participant dies either while an employee or officer of the Company or
a Subsidiary or member of the Board, or after the termination of employment or service as a
member of the Board other than for cause but during the time when the Participant could have
exercised a Stock Option, the Stock Options issued to such Participant shall become fully
vested and exercisable by the personal representative of such Participant or other successor
to the interest of the Participant for one year after the Participant’s death.

(c) Disability. If a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company and its
Subsidiaries or a member of the Board due to the Participant’s disability (as defined in the
Company’s long-term disability plan), then all of the Participant’s Stock Options shall
immediately fully vest, and the Stock Options held by the Participant at the time of such
termination of employment or service shall be exercisable by the Participant or the personal
representative of such Participant for one year following such termination of employment or
service.

(d) Participant Retirement. Upon a Participant’s Retirement as an employee or officer
of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Retirement from service as a member of the Board,
then all of the Participant’s Stock Options shall immediately fully vest, and the Stock
Options held by the Participant at the time of such Retirement shall be exercisable by the
Participant or the personal representative of such Participant during the remaining term of
the Stock Options.

(e) Termination for Cause. If a Participant is terminated for cause, the Participant
shall have no further right to exercise any Stock Options previously granted. The Committee
or officers designated by the Committee shall determine whether a termination is for cause.

SECTION 6

Stock Appreciation Rights

6.1 Grants. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants from time to time either
in tandem with or as a component of a Stock Option granted under Section 5, other Incentive Awards
granted under the Plan or stock options granted under any other Company equity compensation plan
(“tandem SARs”) or without reference to other Incentive Awards or stock options (“freestanding
SARs”). The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each grant
or each Participant. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a stock option or
Incentive Award may be granted at the same time such option or Incentive Award is granted or at any
time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such stock option or Incentive Award. Unless
settled in cash, the exercise of a tandem SAR will be in lieu of the exercise of the stock option
or Incentive Award in connection with which the tandem SAR was granted. All freestanding SARs shall
be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Stock Options as set forth in
Section 5 and all tandem SARs shall have the same vesting, exercisability, forfeiture and
termination provisions as such Incentive Award or stock
option to which they relate. Subject to the foregoing sentence and the terms of the Plan, the
Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it
shall deem appropriate.

 

10

 

6.2 Exercise or Settlement Price. The per share price for exercise or settlement of Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be determined by the Committee, but shall be a price that is equal to or
greater than 100% of the Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Other
than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 4.4) the
exercise price of Stock Appreciation Rights may not be reduced without stockholder approval
(including canceling previously awarded Stock Appreciation Rights and regranting them with a lower
exercise price).

6.3 Medium and Time of Payment. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in shares of Common
Stock, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.

6.4 Limits on Exercisability. Except as set forth in Section 6.6, Stock Appreciation Rights
shall be exercisable for such periods, not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant, as may be
fixed by the Committee.

6.5 Restrictions on Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) General. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, Stock Appreciation Rights granted
under the Plan may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. To the
extent that the Committee otherwise determines to permit the transfer of a Stock
Appreciation Right, as a condition thereof; the transferor and the transferee must execute a
written agreement containing such terms specified by the Committee. Except to the extent the
Committee provides otherwise, all provisions of a Stock Appreciation Right that are
determined with reference to the Participant, including without limitation those that refer
to the Participant’s obligation to satisfy tax withholding requirements and to vesting or
forfeiture being related to the Participant’s employment with the Company or its
Subsidiaries, shall continue to be determined with reference to the Participant after any
transfer of a Stock Appreciation Right.

(b) Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose other restrictions on any shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan
as the Committee deems advisable, including, without limitation, holding periods or further
transfer restrictions, forfeiture or “claw-back” provisions, and restrictions under
applicable federal or state securities laws.

6.6 Termination of Employment or Officer or Director Status. Unless the Committee provides
otherwise, Stock Appreciation Rights shall expire upon the earlier of the expiration of the term
established pursuant to Section 6.4 and the date determined as set forth herein:

(a) General. If a Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or service
as a member of the Board terminates for any reason other than the Participant’s death,
disability, Retirement or termination for cause, Stock Appreciation Rights granted to the
Participant may continue to be exercised in accordance with their terms for a period of
three (3) months after such termination of employment or of service as a director, but only
to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Rights on the
date of such termination. For purposes of the Plan, the
following shall not be considered a termination of employment or service: (i) a transfer of
an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of absence, duly authorized in
writing by the Company, for military service or for any other purpose approved by the
Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; (iii) a leave of absence in
excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided that the employee’s
right to re-employment is guaranteed by statute, contract or written policy of the Company;
or (iv) a termination of employment with continued service as a Director or termination of
service as a Director when the Participant thereafter serves as an employee. For purposes of
the Plan, termination of employment shall be considered to occur on the date on which the
employee is no longer obligated to perform services for the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and the employee’s right to re-employment is not guaranteed by statute,
contract or written policy of the Company, regardless of whether the employee continues to
receive compensation from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after such date.

 

11

 

(b) Death. If a Participant dies either while an employee or officer of the Company or
a Subsidiary or member of the Board, or after the termination of employment or service as a
member of the Board other than for cause but during the time when the Participant could have
exercised a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Appreciation Rights issued to such
Participant shall become fully vested and exercisable by the personal representative of such
Participant or other successor to the interest of the Participant for one year after the
Participant’s death.

(c) Disability. If a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company and its
Subsidiaries or a member of the Board due to the Participant’s disability (as defined in the
Company’s long-term disability plan), then all of the Participant’s Stock Appreciation
Rights shall immediately fully vest, and the Stock Appreciation Rights held by the
Participant at the time of such termination of employment or service shall be exercisable by
the Participant or the personal representative of such Participant for one year following
such termination of employment or service.

(d) Participant Retirement. Upon a Participant’s Retirement as an employee or officer
of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Retirement from service as a member of the Board,
then all of the Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights shall immediately fully vest, and
the Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant at the time of such Retirement shall
be exercisable by the Participant or the personal representative of such Participant during
the remaining term of the Stock Appreciation Rights.

(e) Termination for Cause. If a Participant is terminated for cause, the Participant
shall have no further right to exercise any Stock Appreciation Rights previously granted.
The Committee or officers designated by the Committee shall determine whether a termination
is for cause.

 

12

 

SECTION 7

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

7.1 Grant. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from
time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to Participants selected by the
Committee. Restricted Stock is an award or issuance of shares of Common Stock the grant, issuance,
retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to
such conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the
Committee deems appropriate. Restricted Stock Units are Incentive Awards denominated in units of
Common Stock under which the issuance of shares of Common Stock is subject to such conditions
(including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Committee deems
appropriate. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, each Restricted Stock Unit will be equal
to one share of Common Stock and will entitle a Participant to either shares of Common Stock or an
amount of cash determined with reference to the value of shares of Common Stock. To the extent
determined by the Committee, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be satisfied or
settled in Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof. Restricted Stock Units shall be settled no
later than the 15th day of the third month after the end of the calendar year in which
the Restricted Stock Units vest. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to
the Plan need not be identical but shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan. Subject to the
requirements of applicable law, the Committee shall determine the price, if any, at which awards of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or shares of Common Stock issuable under Restricted
Stock Unit awards, shall be sold or awarded to a Participant, which may vary from time to time and
among Participants and which may be below the market price of such shares at the date of grant.

7.2 Restricted Stock Agreements. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Unless an Award Agreement provides otherwise, Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Unit awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Section 7.

7.3 Vesting. The grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of shares of Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units and the settlement of shares of Restricted Stock Units shall occur at such
time and in such installments as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the
Committee. The Committee shall have the right to make the timing of the grant and/or the issuance,
ability to retain, vesting and/or settlement of shares of Restricted Stock and under Restricted
Stock Units subject to continued employment, passage of time and/or such performance criteria as
deemed appropriate by the Committee; provided that in no event shall the grant, issuance,
retention, vesting and/or settlement of shares under Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Awards that is based on performance criteria and the level of achievement versus such criteria be
subject to a performance period of less than one year and no condition that is based upon continued
employment or the passage of time shall provide for vesting or settlement in full of a Restricted
Stock or Stock Unit Award over a period of less than three years from the date the Award is made,
in each case other than as a result of or upon the death, disability or Retirement of the
Participant or a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
performance criteria for any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit that is intended to satisfy
the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be a
measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and
specified at the time the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit is granted.

 

13

 

7.4 Termination of Employment or Officer or Director Status. Unless the Committee provides
otherwise:

(a) General. In the event of termination of employment or officer or director status
during the Restricted Period for any reason other than death, disability or Retirement, any
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit award still subject in full or in part to
restrictions at the date of such termination shall automatically be forfeited and returned
to the Company. For purposes of the Plan, the following shall not be considered a
termination of employment or service: (i) a transfer of an employee from the Company to any
Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, for military
service or for any other purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does
not exceed 90 days; (iii) a leave of absence in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in
writing by the Company, provided that the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed by
statute, contract or written policy of the Company; or (iv) a termination of employment with
continued service as a Director or termination of service as a Director when the Participant
thereafter serves as an employee. For purposes of the Plan, termination of employment shall
be considered to occur on the date on which the employee is no longer obligated to perform
services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the employee’s right to
re-employment is not guaranteed by statute, contract or written policy of the Company,
regardless of whether the employee continues to receive compensation from the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries after such date.

(b) Death, Retirement or Disability. In the event a Participant terminates his or her
employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries or service as a member of the Board because
of death, disability (as defined in the Company’s long-term disability plan) or Retirement
during the Restricted Period, the restrictions remaining on any or all shares remaining
subject to a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit award shall lapse.

7.5 Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) General. Unless the Committee provides otherwise: (i) shares of Restricted Stock
and interests in Restricted Stock Units shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged,
assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated during the Restricted Period except by will
or the laws of descent and distribution; and (ii) all rights with respect to Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be
exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant, his or her guardian
or legal representative.

(b) Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose other restrictions on any shares of
Common Stock subject to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit awards as the Committee
deems advisable, including, without limitation, holding periods or further transfer
restrictions, forfeiture or “claw-back” provisions, and restrictions under applicable
federal or state securities laws.

 

14

 

7.6 Legending of Restricted Stock. The Committee may also require that certificates
representing shares of Restricted Stock be retained and held in escrow by a designated employee or
agent of the Company or any Subsidiary until any restrictions applicable to shares of Restricted
Stock so retained have been satisfied or lapsed. Any certificates evidencing shares of Restricted
Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan shall bear the following legend:

The shares represented by this certificate were issued subject to certain restrictions under
the Wolverine World Wide, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2005 (the “Plan”). This certificate
is held subject to the terms and conditions contained in a restricted stock agreement that
includes a prohibition against the sale or transfer of the stock represented by this
certificate except in compliance with that agreement and that provides for forfeiture upon
certain events. Copies of the Plan and the restricted stock agreement are on file in the
office of the Secretary of the Company.

7.7 Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have all dividend, liquidation and other
rights with respect to Restricted Stock held by such Participant as if the Participant held
unrestricted Common Stock; provided, that the unvested portion of any award of Restricted Stock
shall be subject to any restrictions on transferability or risks of forfeiture imposed pursuant to
Sections 7.1, 7.4 and 7.5 of the Plan. Unless the Committee otherwise determines or unless the
terms of the applicable Award Agreement or grant provide otherwise, a Participant shall have all
dividend and liquidation rights with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to awards of
Restricted Stock Units held by such Participant as if the Participant held unrestricted Common
Stock. Unless the Committee otherwise determines or unless the terms of the applicable Award
Agreement or grant provide otherwise, any noncash dividends or distributions paid with respect to
shares of unvested Restricted Stock and shares of Common Stock subject to unvested Restricted Stock
Units shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting schedule as the shares to which such
dividends or distributions relate. Any dividend payment with respect to Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year in which the
dividends are paid to stockholders, or, if later, the 15th day of the third month
following the date the dividends are paid to stockholders.

7.8 Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Participants holding shares
of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those shares
during the period of restriction. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares
of Common Stock underlying Restricted Stock Units unless and until such shares are reflected as
issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

SECTION 8

Stock Awards

8.1 Grant. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2 of the Plan, a Participant may
be granted one or more Stock Awards under the Plan. Stock Awards shall be subject to such terms and
conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined by the
Committee. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the shares of stock subject to Stock Awards
shall be issued no later than the 15th day of the third month after the end of the
calendar year in which the award is granted.

8.2 Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and
other rights with respect to shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant as a Stock Award
under this Section 8 upon the Participant becoming the holder of record of the Common Stock granted
pursuant to such Stock Award; provided, that the Committee may impose such restrictions on the
assignment or transfer of Common Stock awarded pursuant to a Stock Award as it considers
appropriate. Any dividend payment with respect to Stock Awards shall be made
no later than the end of the calendar year in which the dividends are paid to stockholders, or, if
later, the 15th day of the third month following the date the dividends are paid to
stockholders.

 

15

 

SECTION 9

Change in Control

9.1 Acceleration of Vesting. If a Change in Control of the Company shall occur, then, unless
the Committee or the Board otherwise determines with respect to one or more Incentive Awards,
without action by the Committee or the Board: (a) all outstanding Stock Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable
during the remaining terms thereof as set forth in Sections 5.5 and 6.4, regardless of whether the
Participants to whom such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights have been granted remain in
the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary; and (b) all other outstanding Incentive
Awards shall become immediately fully vested and exercisable and nonforfeitable.

9.2 Cash Payment for Stock Options/Stock Appreciation Rights. If a Change in Control of the
Company shall occur, then the Committee without the consent of any Participant affected thereby,
may determine that some or all Participants holding outstanding Stock Options and/or Stock
Appreciation Rights shall receive, with respect to some or all of the shares of Common Stock
subject to such Stock Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights, as of the effective date of any
such Change in Control of the Company, cash in an amount equal to the greater of the excess of (a)
the highest sales price of the shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date immediately prior
to the effective date of such Change in Control of the Company or (b) the highest price per share
actually paid in connection with any Change in Control of the Company over the exercise price per
share of such Stock Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights.

SECTION 10

Qualifying Performance-Based Compensation

10.1 General. The Committee may specify that the grant, retention, vesting or issuance of any
Incentive Award, or the amount to be paid out under any Incentive Award, be subject to or based on
Qualifying Performance Criteria or other standards of financial performance and/or personal
performance evaluations. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of
shares of Common Stock issued or the amount paid under an Incentive Award may, to the extent
specified in the applicable agreement evidencing the award, be reduced by the Committee on the
basis of such further considerations as the Committee shall determine.

10.2 Qualifying Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Qualifying
Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either
individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a
business unit or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured
either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a
pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in
each case as specified by the Committee: (a) net earnings or earnings per share (including earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization), (b) income, net income or operating

Code, the Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying
Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance
period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect
of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported
results, (iv) the effect of acquisitions or divestitures (v) accruals for reorganization and
restructuring programs and (vi) any extraordinary, unusual or non recurring items as described in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s Forms 10-K or any Form

16

 

SECTION 11

General Provisions

11.1 No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted
any Incentive Award under the Plan and there is no obligation of uniformity of treatment of
Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Incentive Awards under the Plan. The terms and
conditions of Incentive Awards of the same type and the determination of the Committee to grant a
waiver or modification of any Incentive Award and the terms and conditions thereof need not be the
same with respect to each Participant or the same Participant.

11.2 Withholding. The Company or a Subsidiary shall be entitled to: (a) withhold and deduct
from future wages of a Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to a
Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection of
(including through the sale of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the applicable
Incentive Award), all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state,
local and foreign withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to an Incentive
Award, including, without limitation, the grant, exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends
with respect to, an Incentive Award or a disqualifying disposition of Common Stock received upon
exercise of an incentive stock option; or (b) require a Participant promptly to remit the amount of
such withholding to the Company before taking any action with respect to an Incentive Award. To the
extent specified by the Committee, withholding may be satisfied by withholding Common Stock to be
received upon exercise or vesting of an Incentive Award or by delivery to the Company of previously
owned Common Stock. In addition, the Company may reasonably delay the issuance or delivery of
shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Incentive Award as it determines appropriate to address tax
withholding and other administrative matters.

11.3 Compliance With Laws; Listing and Registration of Shares. All Incentive Awards granted
under the Plan (and all issuances of Common Stock or other securities under the Plan) shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to the requirement that if at any time
the Committee shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered
thereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval
of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of; or in connection
with, the grant of such Incentive Award or the issue or purchase of shares thereunder, such
Incentive Award may not be exercised in whole or in part, or the restrictions on such Incentive
Award shall not lapse, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the
Committee.

 

17

 

11.4 Additional Restrictions on Shares. The Committee may provide that the shares of Common
Stock issued upon exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or otherwise subject to or
issued under an Incentive Award shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions,
conditions or limitations as the Committee in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of
such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the grant, vesting or settlement of such Incentive
Award, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or
repurchase provisions and method of payment for the shares issued upon exercise, vesting or
settlement of such Incentive Award (including the actual or constructive surrender of Common Stock
already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an Incentive
Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any
resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common
Stock issued under an Incentive Award, including without limitation restrictions under an insider
trading policy, blackout period or pursuant to applicable law, and restrictions as to the use of a
specified brokerage firm or equity plan administrator for such resales or other transfers.

11.5 No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent
the Company or any Subsidiary from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional
compensation arrangements, including the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards, and
such arrangements may be either generally available or available only in specific cases.

11.6 No Right to Employment. The grant of an Incentive Award shall not be construed as giving
a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company
or any Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or
any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any written
agreement authorized by the Committee.

11.7 No Liability of Company. The Company and any Subsidiary or affiliate which is in
existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to a Participant or any other
person as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Common Stock as to which the Company has been unable
to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s
counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; (b) any tax
consequence to any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any
Incentive Award granted hereunder; and (c) any provision of law or legal restriction that prohibits
or restricts the transfer of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any Incentive Award.

 

18

 

11.8 Suspension of Rights under Incentive Awards. The Company, by written notice to a
Participant, may suspend a Participant’s and any transferee’s rights under any Incentive Award for
a period not to exceed 60 days while the termination for cause of that Participant’s employment
with the Company and its Subsidiaries is under consideration.

11.9 Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and
regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware and applicable federal law.

11.10 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid
for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan
and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included, unless such construction would cause the Plan to fail in its essential purposes.

SECTION 12

Suspension or Termination of Awards

12.1 Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, if at any time (including after a notice
of exercise has been delivered or an award has vested) the Chief Executive Officer or any other
person designated by the Committee (each such person, an “Authorized Officer”) reasonably believes
that a Participant may have committed an Act of Misconduct as described in this Section 12, the
Authorized Officer, Committee or Board may suspend the Participant’s rights to exercise any Stock
Option or Stock Appreciation Right, to vest in an Incentive Award, and/or to receive payment for or
receive shares of Common Stock in settlement of an Incentive Award pending a determination of
whether an Act of Misconduct has been committed.

12.2 If the Committee or an Authorized Officer determines a Participant has committed an act
of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any
Subsidiary, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of Company or Subsidiary rules
resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company or any Subsidiary, or if a Participant makes an
unauthorized disclosure of any Company or Subsidiary trade secret or confidential information,
engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, breaches any non-competition agreement,
induces any Company or Subsidiary customer to breach a contract with the Company or any Subsidiary,
or induces any principal for whom the Company or any Subsidiary acts as agent to terminate such
agency relationship (any of the foregoing acts, an “Act of Misconduct”), then except as otherwise
provided by the Committee, (i) neither the Participant nor his or her estate nor transferee shall
be entitled to exercise any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right whatsoever, vest in or have
the restrictions on an Incentive Award lapse, or otherwise receive payment or shares of Common
Stock under any Incentive Award, (ii) the Participant will forfeit all outstanding Incentive Awards
and (iii) the Participant may be required, at the Committee’s sole discretion, to return and/or
repay to the Company any then unvested shares of Common Stock previously issued under the Plan. In
making such determination, the Committee or an Authorized Officer shall give the Participant an
opportunity to appear and present evidence on his or her behalf at a hearing before the Committee
or an opportunity to submit written comments, documents, information and arguments to be considered
by the Committee.

SECTION 13

Termination and Amendment

13.1 The Board may terminate the Plan at any time or may from time to time amend or alter the
Plan or any aspect of it as it considers proper and in the best interests of the Company, provided
that no such amendment may be made, without the approval of stockholders of the Company, that would
(i) reduce the exercise price at which Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted
below the price provided for in Section 5.2 and 6.2, (ii) reduce the exercise price of outstanding
Stock Options, (iii) increase the individual maximum limits in Section 4.2 or (iv) otherwise amend
the Plan in any manner requiring stockholder approval by law or under the New York Stock Exchange
listing requirements and provided further that the Plan may not be amended in any way that causes
the Plan to fail to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, unless the Board
expressly determines to amend the Plan to be subject to Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may
alter or amend an Award Agreement and/or Incentive Award previously granted under the Plan to the
extent it determines that such action is appropriate.

13.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.1, no such amendment or alteration
to the Plan or to any previously granted Award Agreement or Incentive Award shall be made which
would impair the rights of the holder of the Award, without such holder’s consent, provided that no
such consent shall be required if the Committee determines in its sole discretion and prior to the
date of any Change in Control that such amendment or alteration either is required or advisable in
order for the Company, the Plan or the Incentive Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet
the requirements of or avoid adverse financial accounting consequences under any accounting
standard.

SECTION 14

Effective Date and Duration of the Plan

14.1 This Plan shall take effect April 21, 2005, subject to approval by the stockholders at
the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment thereof or at a Special Meeting of
Stockholders, but in no event will such approval be obtained more than twelve (12) months from the
adoption of this Plan by the Board. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, no Incentive Award
shall be granted under the Plan after April 20, 2015.

As amended October 9, 2008.
