     (a) The period during which the right to exercise an Option in whole or in part vests in the
Optionee shall be set by the Committee (and Option vesting shall be set forth in Award Agreements),
and the Committee may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a
specified period after it is granted. At any time after grant of an Option the Committee may, in
its sole discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, accelerate the period
during which an Option vests or extend the period during which it may be exercised (but not beyond
the Expiration Date thereof).

     (b) No portion of an Option, which is unexercisable at Termination of Employment, shall
thereafter become exercisable.

4.5 Exercise of Options after Termination of Employment

     (a) Termination by Death. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if an Optionee has a
Termination of Employment by reason of the Optionee’s death, any Option held by such Optionee may
thereafter be exercised by the Optionee’s Beneficiaries, to the extent then exercisable, or on such
accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a

5

 

period of 12 months (or such other period
as the Committee may specify in the applicable Award Agreement) from the date of such death or
until the Expiration Date thereof, whichever period is the shorter.

     (b) Termination by Reason of Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if an
Optionee has a Termination of Employment by reason of the Optionee’s Disability, any Option held by
such Optionee may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent it was exercisable
immediately before the Termination of Employment, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may
determine, for a period of three years (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify in the
applicable Award Agreement) from the date of such Termination of Employment or until the Expiration
Date thereof, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the Optionee dies within
such period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such Optionee shall, notwithstanding the

the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the Expiration
Date thereof, whichever period is the shorter.

Award Agreement, if an Optionee has a Termination of Employment by reason of the Optionee’s
Retirement, any Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, to the
extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement, or on such accelerated basis as the
Committee may determine, as follows: (i) if the Optionee has been before such Retirement, the CEO
or the COO, for the period ending on the Expiration Date of such Option; (ii) if the Optionee has
been before such Retirement, a participant in the Company’s Senior Executive Leadership
Compensation Plan or Executive Leadership Compensation Plan (the executive annual bonus plans) or
any successors thereto, other than the CEO or the COO, for the period ending on the earlier of the
fifth anniversary of such Retirement or the Expiration Date of such Option; and (iii) in
all other cases, for a period ending on the earlier of the third anniversary of such
Retirement or the Expiration Date of such Option.

     (d) Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee: (i) if an Optionee
incurs a Termination of Employment for Cause, all Options held by such Optionee shall thereupon
terminate; and (ii) if an Optionee incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason, other than
death, Disability, Retirement or for Cause, any Stock Option held by such Optionee, to the extent
then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, may be exercised for
the lesser of 6 months from the date of such Termination of Employment or until the Expiration Date
of such Stock Option; provided, however, that if the Optionee dies within such period, any
unexercised Stock Option held by such Optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such
period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death
for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the Expiration Date of such Stock
Option, whichever period is the shorter.

     (e) Transferability of Stock Options. No Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other
than (i) by designation of a Beneficiary, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or
(ii) as otherwise expressly permitted under the applicable Award Agreement including, if so
permitted, pursuant to a gift to such Optionee’s family, whether directly or indirectly or by means
of a trust or partnership or otherwise. All Options shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of
this Plan, only by the Optionee, by the guardian or legal representative of the Optionee if the
Optionee is incapacitated, by the Optionee’s Beneficiaries, legal representative or heirs after the
Optionee’s death, or any person to whom such option is transferred pursuant to clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence.

     (f) Cashing Out of Stock Option. On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee or
the Company may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of the shares of Common Stock for
which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the Optionee an amount, in cash or Common Stock,
equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock over the option price times the
number of shares of Common Stock for which the Option is being exercised on the effective date of
such cash-out.

ARTICLE 5 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

5.1 Partial Exercise

     An Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time after it has become vested and
exercisable and before its Expiration Date, subject to Article 4. However, an Option shall not be
exercisable with respect to fractional shares and the Committee or the Company may impose a minimum
number of shares for which a partial exercise will be permitted.

5.2 Manner of Exercise

     All or a portion of an exercisable Option may be exercised upon delivery to the Secretary or
his office of all of the following:

6

 

     (a) A written notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Committee or the

Option, or portion thereof, is exercised in whole or in part by (i) cash; (ii) certified or bank
check or such other instrument as the Company may accept; (iii) delivery (either by surrender of
the shares or by attestation) of shares unrestricted Common Stock already owned by the Optionee of
the same class as the Common Stock subject to the Stock Option (based on the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock on the date the Stock Option is exercised); provided, however, that such
already-owned shares either were acquired by the Optionee in an open-market transaction or have
been held by the Optionee for at least six months at the time of exercise; (iv) if permitted by the
Committee or the Company, the surrender of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of
the Option; or (v) if permitted by the Committee, by delivering a properly executed exercise notice
to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stock broker acceptable to
the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay
the option price, and, if requested, by the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign
withholding taxes; and

     (c) In the event that the Option shall be exercised by any person or persons other than the
Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.

ARTICLE 6 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

6.1 Grant and Exercise

     (a) Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Option
granted under the Plan, either at or after the time of grant of such Option. A Stock Appreciation
Right shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related
Option.

     (b) A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an Optionee in accordance with Article
6.2(b) by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee or the Company. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Optionee shall
be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Article 6.2(b). Options
that have been so surrendered shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Stock
Appreciation Rights have been exercised.

6.2 Terms and Conditions

     Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined
by the Committee, including the following:

     (a) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the
extent that the Options to which they relate are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan.

     (b) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an Optionee shall be entitled to receive
an amount in cash, shares of Common Stock or both, in value equal to the excess of the Fair Market
Value of one share of Common Stock over the option price per share specified in the related Option
multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been
exercised, with the Committee or the Company having the right to determine the form of payment. To
the extent that a Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and settled in Common Stock, the number of
shares available for future Awards under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of Stock
Appreciation Rights that are exercised (and not the number of shares actually issued upon
settlement of the Award).

     (c) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only to permitted transferees of the
underlying Option in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

7.3 Terms and Conditions

     The terms and conditions of an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units,
Performance Stock or Performance Units as established by the Committee or the Company shall be set
forth in an Award Agreement, including the following:

     (a) The Committee may, in connection with the grant, designate an Award of Restricted Stock,
Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock or Performance Units as a Qualified Performance-Based
Award, in which event it shall condition the grant or vesting (generally, during a period of three
years), as applicable, of such Award upon the attainment of Performance Goals. If the Committee
does not designate an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock or
Performance Units as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, it may also condition the grant or
vesting thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. Regardless of whether an Award of
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock or Performance Units is a Qualified
Performance-Based Award, the Committee may also condition the grant or vesting thereof upon the
continued service of the Awardee. The conditions for grant or vesting and the other provisions of
Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock or Performance Units
(including any applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each Awardee.
The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, accelerate or waive, in whole or in part,
any of the foregoing restrictions; provided, however, that in the case of an Award that is a
Qualified Performance-Based Award, the applicable Performance Goals have been satisfied. The total
number of shares represented by Qualified Performance Based Award granted under the Plan shall not
exceed 2,800,000.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, during the
period, if any, set by the Committee, commencing with the date of such Award for which such
Awardee’s continued service is required (the “Restriction Period”), and until the later of (i) the
expiration of the Restriction Period and (ii) the date the applicable Performance Goals (if any)
are satisfied, the Awardee shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise
encumber shares of Restricted Stock or an Award of Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock or
Performance Units.

     (c) Except as provided in this paragraph (c) and Articles 7.3(a) and 7.3(b) and the applicable
Award Agreement, the Awardee shall have, with respect to shares of Restricted Stock (but not
Restricted Stock Units), all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class or
series of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock,

8

 

including, if applicable, the
right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash dividends. Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee and subject to the next sentence, (A) cash dividends on the class or series of
Common Stock that are the subject of the Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall
be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units,
as applicable, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Award, and (B) dividends payable in
Common Stock shall be paid in the form of additional Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as
applicable, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
any provision of an Award Agreement, reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of Common Stock are available
under the Plan for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Awards).

     (d) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement and Articles
7.3(a), 7.3(b), 7.3(e) and 9.1(b), upon an Awardee’s Termination of Employment for any reason
during the Restriction Period or before the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, all shares
of Restricted Stock and all Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock and Performance Units still
subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the Awardee.

     (e) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article 9.1(b), in the event an of an Awardee’s
Retirement or Termination of Employment other than for Cause, the Committee shall have the
discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions (other than, in the
case of Restricted Stock with respect to which an Awardee is a Covered Employee, satisfaction of
the applicable Performance Goals unless the Termination of Employment was by reason of the
Awardee’s death, Disability or Involuntary Termination) with respect to any or all of such
Awardee’s shares of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock and Performance
Units.

     (f) If and when any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and the Restriction Period
expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, unlegended certificates for such shares
shall be delivered to the Awardee upon surrender of the legended certificates.

9.2 Definition of Change in Control

     For purposes of the Plan, a “Change in Control” shall mean the happening of any of the
following events:

     (a) An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Article 13.4(a)
or 14.4(b) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); excluding, however, the
following: (A) any acquisition directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by virtue of
the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the security being so converted was itself acquired
directly from the Company, (B) any acquisition by the Company, (C) any acquisition by any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation
controlled by the Company, or (D) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction
which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this Article 9.2; or

     (b) A change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the
effective date of the Plan, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as
the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;
provided, however, for purposes of this Article 9.2, that any individual who becomes a member of
the Board subsequent to the effective date of the Plan, whose election, or nomination for election
by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals
who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such
pursuant to this provision) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the
Incumbent Board; but, provided further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office
occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in
Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board shall not
be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or

     (c) The consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale involving the
Company or a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (“Corporate
Transaction”); excluding, however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (i) all or
substantially all of the individuals and entities who are the beneficial owners, respectively, of
the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to
such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of,
respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case
may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including a corporation,
which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (other
than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation
resulting from such Corporate Transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 20% or
more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from
such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of
such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors except to the extent that
such ownership existed prior to the Corporate Transaction, and (iii) individuals who were members
of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors
of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction; or

     (d) The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution
of the Company.

     (e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no event shall constitute a Change in Control for purposes
of triggering the timing of payment of an Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to
Code Section 409A if it is not “a change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation,
or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” within the meaning
of Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE 10 ADMINISTRATION

10.1 Committee

     The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee of the
Board or such other committee of the Board, as may from time to time be selected by the Board.

10.2 Powers of Committee

     (a) The Committee shall have the authority to conduct the general administration of this Plan
in accordance with its provisions. The Committee shall have the power to make Awards and set the
terms and conditions for such Awards (including the option price, any vesting condition,
restriction or limitation (which may be related to the performance of the Awardee, the Company or
any Subsidiary) and any vesting acceleration or forfeiture waiver regarding any Award and the

10

 

shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine; to
modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, at any time or from time to time,
including Performance Goals; provided, however, that the Committee may not adjust upwards the
amount payable with respect to a Qualified Performance-Based Award or waive or alter the
Performance Goals associated therewith except as specifically permitted by the Plan; to determine
to what extent and under what circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to
an Award shall be deferred; and to determine under what circumstances an Award may be settled in
cash or Common Stock under Articles 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, as applicable. The Committee shall have the
power to interpret this Plan and the Awards made hereunder, to adopt such rules and procedures for
the administration, interpretation, and application of this Plan as are consistent therewith, and
to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules and procedures. Any Award under this Plan need not be
the same with respect to each Awardee.

     (b) Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the
Committee or such delegate at the time of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any
express term of the Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee or any
appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding
on all persons, including the Company, Awardees and Beneficiaries.

10.3 Action by Committee

     (a) The Committee shall act by a majority of its members in office. The Committee may act
either by vote at a meeting, or by a memorandum, minutes or other written instrument signed by the
Chairman of the Committee or by a majority of the Committee. The Committee may delegate to (i) the
CEO the authority to make decisions pursuant to, and interpretations of, the Plan (provided that no
such delegation may be made that would cause Awards or other transactions under the Plan to cease
to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or cause Qualified Performance-Based Awards to
fail to qualify for the Section 162(m) exemption), and the authority to grant Awards and establish
terms and conditions related to such Awards to any Employee, who is not an “officer” of the Company
(within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended), subject to
any limitations the Committee may impose, and (ii) the CEO or Secretary, or both, any or all of the
administrative and interpretive duties and authority of the Committee under the Plan. Based on such
delegation of authority from the Committee, the CEO may request Company representatives to take
actions related to the granting of Awards and to other Plan matters.

     (b) Any authority granted to the Committee under this Plan may also be exercised by the full
Board, except to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Award
designated as a Qualified Performance-Based Award not to qualify for, or to cease to qualify for,
the Section 162(m) Exemption. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts
with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control.

10.4 Compensation; Professional Assistance; Good Faith Actions

     Expenses and liabilities that members of the Committee incur in connection with the
administration of this Plan shall be borne by the Company. The Committee may employ attorneys,
consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, or other persons. The Committee, the Company, and
its officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any
such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee
in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Awardees and Beneficiaries, the Company, and all
other interested persons. No members of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action,
determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award, and all
members of the Committee shall be fully protected by the Company in respect of any such action,
determination or interpretation.

ARTICLE 11 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

11.1 Not Transferable

     Except as specifically provided in the Plan with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights, as provided in Article 11.8 regarding designation of Beneficiaries, and as may be otherwise
provided in the applicable Award Agreement: (i) Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or
transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) no Award
or interest or right therein shall be subject to the debts, contracts or engagements of the Awardee
or his Beneficiaries and successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer,
alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such
disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment,
garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy); and (iii) any
attempted disposition of an Award shall be null and void and of no effect.

11

 

11.2 Unfunded Status of Plan

     It is presently intended that the Plan constitutes an “unfunded” plan for incentive and
deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to
meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments; provided
that, unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements
is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.

11.3 General Provisions

     (a) The Committee or the Company may require each person purchasing or receiving shares of
Common Stock pursuant to an Award, as a condition to delivery of such shares, to represent to and
agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to the
distribution thereof and to provide such other representations and such documents as the Committee
or the Company deems necessary or appropriate to effect compliance with all applicable laws. Such
shares may be delivered by book entry or in certificate form, with such legends or other notations
as the Committee or the Company deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan prior to fulfillment
of all of the following conditions:

     (i) Listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance of such shares on the New
York Stock Exchange, Inc., or such other securities exchange as may at the time be the
principal market for the Common Stock;

     (ii) Any registration or other qualification of such shares of the Company under any
state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or
other qualification that the Committee or the Company deems necessary or advisable;

     (iii) Obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal
governmental agency that the Committee or the Company determines to be necessary or
advisable;

     (iv) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of an Option or
Stock Appreciation Right or the vesting or other event that results in the settlement of an
Award, as the Committee or the Company may establish from time to time for reasons of
administrative convenience; and

     (v) The receipt by the Company of full payment (if any) for such shares and the
satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations relating thereto.

     An Awardee shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the
Company in respect of any shares of Common Stock that may become deliverable pursuant to an Award
unless and until such shares have been delivered to the Awardee.

     (c) In the event an Award is granted to an Employee who is employed outside the United States
and who is not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, the Committee or the
Company may modify the provisions of the Plan as they pertain to such Award or Awardee to comply
with applicable foreign law, and/or related regulations or requirements.

     (d) The Committee or the Company may (but need not) establish rules or terms and conditions in
an applicable Award Agreement, under which Awardees may be permitted to elect to defer receipt of
cash or shares in settlement of Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock and Performance Units for
a specified period or until a specified event, either under an existing plan of the Company or
otherwise.

     (e)The Plan, in form and operation, is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. To
the extent that the terms of the Plan are inconsistent with Section 409A, then the terms of the
Plan will be automatically deemed to be amended and construed so as to be in compliance. The
Committee or the Company may make any amendments to the Plan or to any outstanding Awards in order
to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

11.4 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination of this Plan

     The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time prior to a Change in Control,
but no such amendment, suspension or termination shall impair the rights of Awardees under Awards
previously granted without the

12

 

Awardee’s consent, and provided further that no material amendments
will be made to the terms of the Plan without the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

     The Committee may amend the terms of any Award after it is granted, prospectively or
retroactively, but no such amendment shall reprice an option, cause a Qualified Performance-Based
Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption or impair the rights of the Awardee
without the Awardee’s consent.

11.5 Adjustments upon Changes in Common Stock

     In the event of an equity restructuring involving a nonreciprocal transaction between the
Company and its stockholders, such as a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share
combination, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares,
separation, spin-off, reorganization, stock rights offering, liquidation, Disaffiliation of a
Subsidiary or similar event that affects the number or kind of shares of Common Stock (or other
securities of the Company) or the share price of Common Stock (or other securities) and causes a
change in the per share value of the Common Stock underlying outstanding Awards, the Committee or
the Company shall make appropriate and equitable adjustments to the following:

	 	(a)	 	the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under Article 2 and
Article 7, and the limits on grants of Options under Article 3, grants of Stock
Appreciation Rights under Article 6, and grants of Qualifying Performance-Based Awards
under Articles 7 and 8;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the option price of outstanding Options, and
	 
	 	(d)	 	appropriate and equitable adjustments to other outstanding Awards.

     Such adjustments may include, without limitation, (i) the cancellation of outstanding Awards
in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal
to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Committee or the Company, (ii) the substitution
of other property (including, without limitation, other securities) for the Stock covered by
outstanding Awards, and (iii) in connection with any Disaffiliation of a Subsidiary, arranging for
the assumption, or replacement with new awards, of Awards held by Awardees employed by the affected
Subsidiary by the Subsidiary or an entity that controls the Subsidiary following the
Disaffiliation.

11.6 Approval of Plan by Stockholders

This Plan, as amended and restated, was approved
by the Board on February 28, 2008, and was submitted for the approval by the Company’s stockholders
at the annual meeting of stockholders on April 24, 2008.

11.7 Tax Withholding

     No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of
an Awardee for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, such an
Awardee shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the
payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld
with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, withholding obligations
may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise
to the withholding requirement; provided, however, that not more than the legally required minimum
withholding may be settled with Common Stock. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall
be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the
extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to
such an Awardee. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including
making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock.

11.8 Beneficiaries

     The Committee or the Company shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for
Awardees to designate one or more persons (each, a “Beneficiary”) to whom any amounts payable under
this Plan in the event of the applicable Awardee’s death are to be paid and/or by whom any rights
of the applicable Awardee’s, after the Awardee’s death, may be exercised. Designation, revocation
and redesignation of Beneficiaries must be made in writing in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee or the Company, and shall be effective upon delivery to the Committee
or the Company.

13

 

11.9 Effect of Plan

     The adoption of this Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect
for the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit the right of
the Company (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for employees of the
Company or any Subsidiary, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights otherwise than under
this Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose, including the grant or assumption of
options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise,
of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, firm or association. Nothing in this Plan or
in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Awardee any right to continue in the employ of the
Company or any Subsidiary or interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and
the Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge any Awardee at any time for any
reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

11.10 Titles

     Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for
interpretation or construction of this Plan.

under the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the principle of conflict of laws.

	Restrictions Lapse	 	Which Restrictions Lapse
	 

	 	 

     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, effective as of the Date of Grant set forth above (this
“Agreement”), represents the grant of Restricted Stock by the Company, to the Director named above,
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

     The Plan provides a complete description of the terms and conditions governing the Restricted
Stock granted hereunder. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall completely supersede and replace the conflicting terms of
this Agreement. All capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan unless
specifically set forth otherwise herein.

     1. Service as a Director of the Company. Except as may otherwise be provided in Sections 5
or 6 of this Agreement, the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are granted on the
condition that the Director remains a Director of the Company from the Date of Grant set forth
above through (and including) the “Date on Which Restrictions Lapse” set forth in the table above
opposite such number of shares of Restricted Stock (such applicable periods each being referred to
herein as a “Period of Restriction”).

1

 

     This grant of Restricted Stock shall not confer any right to the Director (or any other
Director) to be granted Restricted Stock or other Awards in the future under the Plan.

     2. Certificate Legend. Each certificate representing, or book-entry account credited with,
shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall bear the following legend:

“The sale or other transfer of the shares of common stock represented hereby,
whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain
restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Kaiser Aluminum Corporation
Amended and Restated 2006 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
and in the associated Restricted Stock Award Agreement. A copy of the Plan
and such Restricted Stock Award Agreement may be obtained from Kaiser Aluminum
Corporation.”

     3. Receipt and Delivery of Stock; Removal of Restrictions.

	 	(a)	 	The Director waives receipt from the Company of a certificate or
certificates representing the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder,
registered in the Director’s name and bearing a legend evidencing the restrictions
imposed on such shares of Restricted Stock by this Agreement. The Director
acknowledges that the Company shall retain custody of such certificate or
certificates until the restrictions imposed by this Agreement on the shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder lapse. The Director acknowledges that,
alternatively, the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may be credited to a
book-entry account in the Director’s name, with instructions from the Company to the
Company’s transfer agent that such shares shall remain restricted until the
restrictions imposed by this Agreement on such shares lapse. The Participant will
provide the Company a duly signed stock power in such form as may be requested by
the Company.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Except as may otherwise be provided herein and in the Plan, the shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall become freely transferable by the Director
on the dates and in the numbers set forth under “Lapse of Restrictions” above,
subject to all restrictions on transfers imposed by the Company’s certificate of
incorporation, bylaws or insider trading policies as in effect from time to time or
by applicable federal or state securities laws. Once shares of Restricted Stock
granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this
Agreement or the Plan, the Director shall be entitled to have the legend required by
Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable certificates or book-entry
account.

     4. Voting Rights and Dividends. During a Period of Restriction, the Director may exercise
full voting rights and shall receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the
shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at the relevant time;
provided, however, that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of the Company’s
capital stock, such shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as are the
shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

2

 

     5. Termination as a Director.

	 	(a)	 	By Death. In the event the service of the Director to the Company is
terminated by reason of death during a Period of Restriction, all shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at the time of death
shall no longer be subject to the Period of Restriction and shall become freely
transferable (subject, however, to all restrictions on transfer imposed by the
Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by applicable federal or state
securities laws) by such Person or Persons that have been named as the Director’s
beneficiary as contemplated by Section 8 of this Agreement or by such Person or
Persons that have acquired the Director’s rights to such shares of Restricted Stock
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Once the shares of Restricted
Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under
this Agreement or the Plan, the Person or Persons holding such shares shall be
entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the
applicable stock certificates or book-entry account.
	 
	 	(b)	 	By Disability. In the event the service of the Director to the Company
is terminated by reason of Disability (as defined in this Section 5(b)) during a
Period of Restriction, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by
the Director at the time of employment termination shall no longer be subject to the
Period of Restriction and shall become freely transferable (subject, however, to all
restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or
bylaws or by applicable federal or state securities laws) by the
Director. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any
restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Person holding such
 shares shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement
removed from the applicable stock certificates or book-entry account.
	 
	 	 	 	“Disability” shall be defined as a disability as a result of bodily injury, disease
or mental disorder which results in the inability of the Director to continue to
serve as a director of the Company.
	 
	 	(c)	 	For Other Reasons. In the event the service of the Director to the
Company is terminated for any reason other than the reasons set forth in
Section 5(a) or 5(b) of this Agreement during a Period of Restriction, all shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at such time and still
subject to the restrictions on transfer pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement
shall be forfeited by the Director to the Company. The Company shall have the
right, at the sole discretion of the Board, to vest all or any portion of the
Restricted Stock grant held by the Director that would otherwise be forfeited.

     6. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in
the event of a Change in Control of the Company during a Period of Restriction and prior to
the Director’s termination of service as a Director, the Period of Restriction shall immediately
lapse, with all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at the time
of such Change in Control of the Company vesting and becoming freely transferable (subject to
restrictions on transfers imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or insider
trading
policies as in effect from time to time or by applicable federal or state securities laws) by
the Director.

     7. Restrictions on Transfer. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with
the Plan, during the applicable Period of Restriction, shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated (a
“Transfer”), other than as contemplated by Section 8 of this Agreement, by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. If, during a Period
of Restriction, any Transfer, whether voluntary or involuntary, of shares of Restricted Stock
granted hereunder is made other than in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan, or if any
attachment, execution, garnishment or lien shall be issued against or placed upon shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder then held by
the Director shall be immediately forfeited to the Company, and all obligations of the Company
under this Agreement shall terminate.

     8. Beneficiary Designation. The Director may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this
Agreement is to be paid in case of the Director’s death before the Director receives all of such
benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Director, shall be in a
form prescribed by the Company, and shall be effective only when filed by the Director in writing
with the Vice President Human Resources of the Company during the Director’s lifetime. In the
absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Director’s death shall be paid in
accordance with the Director’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.

     9. Miscellaneous.

	 	(a)	 	This Agreement and the rights of the Director hereunder are subject to
all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to
time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for
administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the Committee is
authorized to administer, construe and make all determinations necessary or
appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall
be binding upon the Director.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In accordance with Section 19 of the Plan, the Board may terminate, amend
or modify the Plan.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Director agrees to take all steps necessary to comply with all
applicable provisions with respect to transfers of the Company’s securities imposed
by the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and insider trading policies
and federal and state securities laws, each as in effect from time to time, in
exercising his or her rights under this Agreement.
