recipient thereunder shall be forfeited in their entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Shares be issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit granted under this Section 7 if a Director’s service on the board terminates less
than six months after the date of grant for any reason other than death or disability.

outstanding and prior to the termination, forfeiture or payment or settlement thereof, to receive dividend equivalents equal to the amount or value of any cash or other distributions or dividends payable on the same number of Shares. The Company
shall accumulate dividend equivalents on each dividend payment date and pay such accumulated amounts without interest annually. 

  

	(c)	 	Issuance of Shares Upon Lapse of Restrictions. A stock certificate or certificates shall be registered and issued in the name of the holder of Restricted Stock Units and
delivered to such holder as soon as practicable after such Restricted Stock Units have become payable or

combination thereof. 

  

	(c)	 	Cash Accounts.

Cash Account.

Deferred Compensation as such Director has elected be credited to his or her Cash Account. 

  

	 	(iii)	 	As of the last day of each month, interest on each Cash Account shall be credited on the average of the balances on the first and last day of such month. Interest shall be credited
at a rate equivalent to the average yield on corporate bonds rated Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service on September 30 of the preceding Year (or if there is no such yield reported for such date, then on the next preceding date for which such a
yield is reported) as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15, or at such other rate as may be determined by the O&N Committee for each Year. 

  

	(d)	 	Stock Unit Accounts. 

  

	 	(i)	 	The Company shall establish and maintain a separate unfunded Stock Unit Account for each Director who has elected that any portion of his Deferred Compensation be credited to a
Stock Unit Account. 

  

	 	(ii)	 	As of each date on which any amount of a Director’s Deferred Compensation becomes payable, his or her Stock Unit Account shall be credited with that number of units as are
equal to the number of full or fractional Shares as could be purchased at the Fair Market Value on the first trading day preceding such date with the portion of such Deferred Compensation as such Director has elected be credited to his or her Stock
Unit Account. 

  

	 	(iii)	 	As of the payment date for each dividend on Shares declared by the Board, there shall be credited to each Stock Unit Account that number of units as are equal to the number of full

Unit Account immediately prior to the record date for such dividend. 

  

 6 

	(e)	 	Form and Time of Election. A Director’s election to defer all or any portion of his or her Eligible Compensation for any Year shall be irrevocable. The election shall be
made in writing in the form (“Election Form”) prescribed by the Secretary. Except as hereinafter provided, to be effective, an Election Form for any Year shall be required to be received by the Secretary on or before December 31 of the
preceding Year. In the case of a Director’s initial election to the Board, the initial Election Form shall be received not more than 30 days following his or her election to the Board and, if not received within such 30-day period, the Election
Form shall be effective only for Eligible Compensation earned after its receipt.

represented by such fractional unit based on the Fair Market Value on the date preceding the date of payment. Except as otherwise hereinafter provided, distributions shall be made (a) on the first day of the month following such Director’s
termination of service on the Board for any reason other than death, or (b) at such later time as the Director has elected in accordance with the terms of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an earlier distribution may be made, at the
discretion of the Administrator, upon a finding that a Director is suffering a significant financial hardship caused by a recent event or events not within such Director’s control; provided, however, that in such event, the cash or shares
distributed shall be limited to those amounts necessary to accommodate the financial hardship, as determined by the Administrator. 

  

	(g)	 	Death of Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the death of a Director prior to receipt by such Director of the full amount of cash and number of shares to
be distributed to the Director, all such cash and/or shares will be distributed to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Director, or if no beneficiary has been designated, to the Director’s estate as soon as practicable following
the month in which the death occurred. 

  

	(h)	 	Certain Rights Reserved by the Company. In the event that, pursuant to Section 10, the Company suspends, modifies or terminates this Plan, the Company shall have the right to
distribute to each Director all amounts in such Director’s Cash Account or Shares equivalent to units in such Director’s Stock Unit Account, including, in the case of Stock Unit Accounts, the right to distribute cash equivalent to the
units in such Accounts. 

  

	(i)	 	Certain Affiliations. In the event that any Director terminates his or her membership on the Board and becomes affiliated with a government agency or with any private company
or firm that the O&N Committee believes to be in competition with the Company, the Board may, at its discretion, require a distribution of all amounts in any Director’s Cash Account or shares equivalent to units in such Director’s
Stock Unit Account.

Awards (including, without limitation, stock appreciation rights and rights to dividends and dividend equivalents) that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares
(including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as 
  

 7 

 are deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 9 shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or
methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, as the Administrator shall determine, the value of which consideration, as established by
the Administrator, shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of such Shares or other securities as of the date such purchase right is granted. 
  
 SECTION 10. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. 
  
 Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law: 
  

	(a)	 	Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, including, without limitation, the number of shares subject to Awards granted
pursuant to Sections 6 and 7, without the consent of any stockholder, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of any Award, or other person; provided, however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination
shall be made without (i) stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to qualify for or comply with any tax or regulatory requirement for which or with which the Board deems it necessary or desirable to qualify or comply or (ii) the consent
of the affected Participant, if such action would adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award; and provided further, that no such amendment or alteration shall increase the aggregate number of shares that may
be issued under the Plan except as provided in Section5(e). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made that would (1) permit Options
to be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant thereof or (2) except as provided in Section 5(e), reduce the exercise price of any Option established at the time of grant thereof.

  

	(b)	 	Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies. The Administrator may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award
in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect. 

  
 SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
  

	(a)	 	No Rights of Stockholders. Neither a Participant nor a Participant’s legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the
Company in respect of any Shares issuable under the Plan in connection with any Award or Account, in whole or in part, unless and until certificates for such shares shall have been issued. 

  

	(b)	 	Limits of Transfer of Awards. No Award and no right under any such Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. During the Participant’s lifetime, rights under an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant, or if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

  

	(c)	 	No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect 

  

 8 

 other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable
or applicable only in specific cases. 
  

	(d)	 	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. 

  

	(e)	 	Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any
person, Award or Account, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Administrator, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed
amended without, in the determination of the Administrator, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall
remain in full force and effect. 

  

	(f)	 	No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award or Account shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship
between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive an Award or Account, or Shares pursuant to an Award or Account, from the Company pursuant to this Plan, such right shall be no
greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 

  

	(g)	 	Accounts Unsecured. Until distributed, all amounts credited to any Cash Accounts or represented by units credited to any Stock Unit Account or Restricted Stock Unit account
shall be property of the Company, available for the Company’s use, and subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company. The rights of any Director or beneficiary to distributions under this Plan are not subject to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, or encumbrance, and shall not be subject to the debts or liabilities of any Director or beneficiary. 

  

	(h)	 	Withholding. The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Awards granted or any transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any dividend equivalents to be
paid on Restricted Stock Units the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, or other property) of any taxes required to be withheld in respect of a grant, exercise, payment or settlement of an Award or any payment of dividend equivalents under
Restricted Stock Units or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of any such taxes. 

  

	(i)	 	No Right to Continued Board Membership. The grant of an Award or establishment of an Account shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as a
director of the Company. The Board may at any time fail or refuse to nominate a Participant for election to the Board, and the stockholders of the Company may at any election fail or refuse to elect any Participant to the Board free from any
liability or claim under this Plan or any Award or Account. 

  

 9 

	(j)	 	Cancellation. Any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrator may cause any Award granted hereunder to be cancelled in
consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such cancelled Award equal in value to the Fair Market Value of such cancelled Award on the date of cancellation. 

  
 SECTION 12. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. 
  
 The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by the stockholders of the
Company. 
  
 SECTION 13. TERM OF THE PLAN. 
  
 No Award shall be granted or compensation deferred under the Plan after the seventh
anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted or Account established prior to the termination of the Plan may extend beyond such date,
and the authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or Account, or to waive any conditions or rights thereunder, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such
date.
