 1. Establishment, Purpose and Types of Awards 
  
 FTI Consulting, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
“Company”), hereby establishes the FTI Consulting, Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term growth and profitability of FTI by (a) providing
key people with incentives to improve stockholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of FTI through their future services, and (b) enabling FTI to attract, retain and reward the best-available persons. 
  
 The Plan permits the granting of stock options (including
“incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and nonstatutory stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, phantom stock, performance awards, other stock-based
awards, or any combination of the foregoing.

partnerships), as determined by the Committee. 
  
 (b)
“Award” means any stock option, stock appreciation right, stock award, phantom stock award, performance award, or other stock-based award relating to the Common Stock or other securities of the Company granted pursuant to the

promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of (A) the then outstanding shares of the securities of the Company, or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors (the “Company Voting Stock”); (2) the closing of a sale or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (3) the effective time of any merger, share exchange,

provided, however, that for purposes of any Award or sub-plan that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan,” within the meaning of Code section 409A, the Committee, in its discretion, may specify a different
definition of Change in Control in order to comply with the provisions of Code section 409A. For purposes of this Section 2(d), a “Person” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, other than employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by the Company or by entities controlled by the Company.

the Board (or any successor Board committee as may be designated by the Board from time to time), comprised of directors who are independent directors as defined in the New York Stock Exchange’s Listed Company Manual and who are
“non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act.

York Stock Exchange for that date, the closing price for the last previous day for which sales were reported on the New York Stock Exchange. If the Common Stock is no longer listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Committee may designate such
other exchange, market or source of data as it deems appropriate for determining such value for the purposes of the Plan. For all purposes under the Plan, the term “relevant date” as used in this Section 2(i) means
either the date as of which Fair Market Value is to be determined or the next preceding date on which public trading of the Common Stock occurs, as determined in the Committee’s discretion.

necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to: (1) determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; (2) determine the types of Awards to be

acceleration is inconsistent with Code section 162(m); (7) establish objectives and conditions, if any, for earning Awards and determining whether Awards will be paid after the end of a performance period; and (8) for any purpose, including but not

their respective successors in interest.

Maximum Awards 
  
 Subject to adjustments as provided in
Section 7(c) of the Plan, the shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company shall reserve such number of shares for
Awards under the Plan, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(c) of the Plan. If any Award, or portion of an Award, under the Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable, is settled in cash without delivery of
shares of Common Stock, or is forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled as to any shares, or if any shares of Common Stock are repurchased by or surrendered to the Company in connection with any Award, or if any shares are withheld
by the Company, the shares subject to such Award and the repurchased, surrendered and withheld shares shall thereafter be available for further Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that any such shares that are surrendered to or
repurchased or withheld by the Company in connection with any Award or that are otherwise forfeited after issuance shall not be available for purchase pursuant to incentive stock options intended to qualify under Code section 422. 
  
 Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(c) of the Plan,
the following additional maximums are imposed under the Plan: 
  
 (1) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards of any combination that may be granted during any calendar year to any one individual under this Plan shall be limited to 750,000 shares. Such per-individual limit shall not
be adjusted to effect a restoration of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the related Award is terminated, surrendered or canceled. 
  

 - 4 - 

 (2) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under
the Plan that are described in Section 6(c), 6(d), 6(e) or 6(f) shall not exceed an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock. 
  
 5. Participation 
  
 Participation in the Plan shall be open to all employees, officers, and directors of, and other individuals providing bona fide services to or for,
the Company, or of any Affiliate of the Company, as may be selected by the Committee from time to time. The Committee may also grant Awards to individuals in connection with hiring, retention or otherwise, prior to the date the individual first
performs services for the Company or an Affiliate, provided that such Awards shall not become vested or exercisable prior to the date the individual first commences performance of such services. 
  
 6. Awards 
  
 The Committee, in its sole discretion, establishes the terms of all Awards granted under the Plan. Awards may be granted
individually or in tandem with other types of Awards. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Grant Agreement. The Committee may permit or require a recipient of an Award to defer such individual’s receipt of the
payment of cash or the delivery of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to such individual by virtue of the exercise of, payment of, or lapse or waiver of restrictions respecting, any Award. If any such payment deferral is required or permitted,
the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals. The maximum term for any Award shall not exceed ten years from the date of the grant of such Award. 
  
 (a) Stock Options. 
  
 (1) In General. The Committee may from time to time
grant to eligible participants Awards of incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options; provided, however, that Awards of incentive stock options shall be limited to employees of the Company or of any current or hereafter existing
“parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation,” as defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively, of the Company and any other individuals who are eligible to receive incentive stock
options under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. All stock options must have an exercise price at least equal to Fair Market Value as of the date of grant. No stock option shall be an incentive stock option unless so designated by the
Committee at the time of grant or in the Grant Agreement evidencing such stock option. 
  
 (2) Director Options. In lieu of automatic grants of stock options to members of the Board who are not employees of the Company or
any Affiliate (a “Non-Employee Director”) under the terms and conditions of this Plan as in effect prior to April 27, 2005, nondiscretionary grants of stock options and other equity-based Awards to Non-Employee Directors
shall be made on and after April 27, 2005, 

  

 - 5 - 

 
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the FTI Consulting, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time, which is a
sub-plan of this Plan. 
  
 (b) Stock Appreciation Rights.
The Committee may from time to time grant to eligible participants Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”). An SAR entitles the grantee to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement, a
payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (1) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Common Stock over (B) the base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement, times (2) the
number of shares specified by the SAR, or portion thereof, which is exercised. The base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the grant date. Payment by the Company of
the amount receivable upon any exercise of an SAR may be made by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. If upon settlement of the exercise of an SAR a
grantee is to receive a portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing such portion by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date. No fractional shares shall be used
for such payment and the Committee shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated. 
  
 (c) Stock Awards. The Committee may from time to time grant restricted or unrestricted stock Awards to eligible
participants in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine. 
  
 (d) Phantom Stock. The Committee may from time to time grant Awards to
eligible participants denominated in stock-equivalent units (“phantom stock”) in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as it shall determine. Phantom stock units granted to a participant shall be credited to a
bookkeeping reserve account solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any of the Company’s assets. An Award of phantom stock may be settled in Common Stock, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Grant Agreement, the grantee shall not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by a phantom stock unit
solely as a result of the grant of a phantom stock unit to the grantee. 
  
 (e) Performance Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant performance awards which become vested or payable on account of attainment of one or more performance goals established by the Committee. Performance awards may be
paid by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Performance goals established by the Committee shall be based on objectively determinable performance
goals selected by the Committee that apply to an individual or group of individuals, a business unit, or the Company or an Affiliate as a whole, over such performance period as the Committee may designate. 
  

 - 6 - 

 The performance goals shall be based on one or more of the following criteria: EBITDA, stock price,
earnings per share, net earnings, operating or other earnings, profits, revenues, net cash flow, financial return ratios, return on assets, stockholder return, return on equity, growth in assets, market share or strategic business criteria
consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue goals, market penetration goals, geographic business expansion goals or goals relating to acquisitions or strategic partnerships. EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. At any time prior to the final determination of the performance awards, the Committee may adjust the performance goals and awards for participants to the extent the Committee deems appropriate considering the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Upon completion of a performance period, the Committee shall determine whether the performance goals have been met and certify in writing to the extent such goals have been satisfied. 
  
 (f) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may from time to time
grant other stock-based awards to eligible participants in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine. Other
stock-based awards may be denominated in cash, in Common Stock or other securities, in stock-equivalent units, in stock appreciation units, in securities or debentures convertible into Common Stock, or in any combination of the foregoing and may be
paid in Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock or other securities and cash, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. 
  
 7. Miscellaneous 
  
 (a) Withholding of Taxes. Grantees and holders of Awards shall pay to the Company or any of its Affiliates, or make provision satisfactory to the
Committee for payment of, any taxes required to be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Company or any of its Affiliates may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such
tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee or holder of an Award. In the event that payment to the Company or any of its Affiliates of such tax obligations is made in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued
at Fair Market Value on the applicable date for such purposes and shall not exceed in amount the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation. 
  
 (b) Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and in any event in the case of an incentive stock option or a stock
appreciation right granted with respect to an incentive stock option, no Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a grantee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in
accord with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee, only by the grantee or, during the period the grantee is under a legal disability, by the grantee’s guardian or
legal representative. 
  

 - 7 - 

 (c) Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events. 
  

	 	(1)	Stock Dividend, Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split. In the event of a stock dividend of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Stock, (A) the maximum
number of shares of such Common Stock as to which Awards may be granted under this Plan, in the aggregate and with respect to any type of Award, and the maximum number of shares with respect to which Awards may be granted during any one calendar
year to any individual, as provided in Section 4 of the Plan and (B) the number of shares covered by and the exercise price and other terms of outstanding Awards, shall, without further action of the Board, be adjusted to reflect such event
unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines, at the time it approves such stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, that no such adjustment shall be made with respect to any or all particular Awards. The Committee may make
adjustments, in its discretion, to address the treatment of fractional shares and fractional cents that arise with respect to outstanding Awards as a result of the stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split. 

  

	 	(2)	Non-Change in Control Transactions. Except with respect to the transactions set forth in Section 7(c)(1), in the event of any change affecting the Common Stock, the
Company or its capitalization, by reason of a spin-off, split-up, dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or share exchange, other than any such change that is part of a transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the Company, the
Committee, in its discretion and without the consent of the holders of the Awards, may make (A) appropriate adjustments to the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, in
the aggregate, with respect to any type of Award, and with respect to any individual during any one calendar year, as provided in Section 4 of the Plan; and (B) any adjustments in outstanding Awards, including but not limited to modifying the
number, kind and price of securities subject to Awards. 

  

	 	(3)	 Change in Control Transactions. In the event of any transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the Company, outstanding stock options and other Awards
that are payable in or convertible into Common Stock under the Plan will terminate upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision is made 

  

 - 8 - 

 
in connection with the transaction for the continuation or assumption of such Awards by, or for the substitution of the equivalent awards of, the surviving
or successor entity or a parent thereof. In the event of such termination, (A) the outstanding stock options and other Awards that will terminate upon the effective time of the Change in Control shall become fully vested immediately before the
effective time of the Change in Control, and (B) the holders of stock options and other Awards under the Plan will be permitted, immediately before the Change in Control, to exercise or convert all portions of such stock options or other Awards
under the Plan that are then exercisable or convertible or which become exercisable or convertible upon or prior to the effective time of the Change in Control. 
  

	 	(4)	Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee is authorized to make, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of Awards, adjustments in the terms and conditions
of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles,
whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. 

  
 (d) Substitution of Awards in Mergers and Acquisitions. Awards may be
granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for awards held by employees, officers, consultants or directors of entities who become or are about to become employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company or any of its
Affiliates as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing entity with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or the acquisition by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the assets or stock of the employing entity. The terms and
conditions of any substitute Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein to the extent that the Committee deems appropriate at the time of grant to conform the substitute Awards to the provisions of the awards for which
they are substituted. 
  
 (e) Termination, Amendment and
Modification of the Plan. The Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan or any portion hereof at any time. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, termination of the Plan shall not affect the Committee’s ability to exercise the
powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
  
 (f) Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an individual to
continue in the service of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such service at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such termination results in (1) the failure of any Award to
vest; (2) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any Award; and/or (3) any other adverse effect on the individual’s interests under the Plan. 
  

 - 9 - 

 (g) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to
create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a grantee or any other person. To the extent that any grantee or other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award,
such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
  
 (h) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules,
regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Committee relating to the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest herein or hereunder, shall be determined exclusively in
accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 
  
 (i) Effective Date; Termination Date. The Plan became effective as of May 19, 2004, upon approval of the Company’s stockholders at the 2004
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and has been amended and restated as set forth herein effective as of April 27, 2005. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the close of business on March 10, 2014. Subject to other applicable provisions
of the Plan, all Awards made under the Plan prior to such termination of the Plan shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan and the terms of such Awards. 
  
 (j) Compliance with Securities Laws; Listing and Registration. If at
any time the Committee determines that the delivery of Common Stock under the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or federal, state or foreign securities laws, the right to exercise an Award or receive shares of
Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Committee determines that such delivery is lawful. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Stock under federal, state or foreign
laws. 
  
 (k) Effect on 1997 Stock Option Plan. The
Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan shall remain in full force and effect on and after this Plan’s effective date; provided, however, that on and after the date this Plan becomes effective, no further stock option grants to Directors shall be
made under the Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan pursuant to the provisions for automatic grants of such options set forth therein, and any non-discretionary grants of Awards instead will be made pursuant to Section 6(a)(2) of this Plan.

resolution of the Board of Directors, the Annual Retainer will be, or have a value equivalent to: $50,000 for each Non-Employee Director who does not serve as a chair of a committee of the Board; $55,000 for the Non-Employee Directors who serve as
the chair of the Compensation Committee of the Board or of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board; and $60,000 for the Non-Employee Director who serves as the chair of the Audit Committee of the Board.

 (d) Except as otherwise elected pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.4 below, the
Annual Retainer shall be paid in cash to the Eligible Director. 
  

 - 4 - 

 4.3 Election to Defer Receipt of Annual Retainer. Each Eligible Director is permitted, in
accordance with the election provisions set forth in Section 6, to defer receipt of the Annual Retainer payable for any twelve-month period until the Non-Employee Director’s Termination Date (a “Deferral Election”). For each
Plan Year with respect to which an Eligible Director has a valid Deferral Election in force and provided that sufficient shares are then available for award under the LTIP, the Eligible Director shall be awarded, on each Annual
Retainer Payment Date, a number of Stock Units equal to the quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole share, obtained by dividing the amount of the Annual Retainer by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the applicable Annual
Retainer Payment Date. Such Stock Units will be credited to the Eligible Director’s Account as of the applicable Annual Retainer Payment Date. Stock Units will be settled in shares of Common Stock upon or as soon as practicable following the
Non-Employee Director’s Termination Date. Upon settlement, the Company shall issue to the director, or the director’s estate as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Stock Units then credited to the
director’s Account. The crediting of Stock Units to the Eligible Director’s Account shall not entitle the director to voting or other rights as a stockholder until shares of Common Stock are issued upon settlement, but shall entitle the
director to receive dividend equivalents under Section 8. Stock Units will be evidenced by an agreement, in a form approved by the Plan Administrator, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the LTIP. 
  
 4.4 Election to Receive Annual Retainer Payment in the Form of Options.
Each Eligible Director is permitted, in accordance with the election provisions set forth in Section 6, to elect to receive payment of the Annual Retainer payable for any twelve-month period in the form of Options rather than in cash (an
“Option Election”). For each Plan Year with respect to which an Eligible Director has a valid Option Election in force and provided that sufficient shares are then available for award under the LTIP, the Eligible
Director shall be awarded, on each Annual Retainer Payment Date, Options having a value on the grant date equivalent to the Annual Retainer amount then due. The number of Options to be awarded will be determined in good faith by the Plan
Administrator using the option valuation model and assumptions thereunder as set forth in the financial statements of the Company then most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All such Options shall (i) expire, to the extent
not sooner exercised or terminated, on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant; (ii) have an exercise price per share equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock of the Company on the date of grant; (iii) be at all times during
the Options’ term fully vested and exercisable; and (iv) provide for payment of the exercise price via cash, check, tender of shares of Common Stock, or any combination thereof. Options will be evidenced by an agreement, in a form approved by
the Plan Administrator, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the LTIP. 
  
 5. Equity-Based Compensation Component 
  
 5.1 Commencement and Timing of Cyclical Equity Grant 
  
 (a) On the date that an individual first becomes a New Director, and on every third anniversary of such date thereafter, provided that the individual is then an Eligible Director, he shall be awarded a
Cyclical Equity Grant if there are then sufficient shares available for award under the LTIP. 
  

 - 5 - 

 (b) On an Incumbent Director’s Existing Option Maturity Date and on every third anniversary of such
date thereafter, provided that the individual is then an Eligible Director, he shall be awarded a Cyclical Equity Grant if there are then sufficient shares available for award under the LTIP. 
  
 5.2 Amount and Form of Cyclical Equity Grant 
  
 (a) Until changed by resolution of the Board of Directors, the amount of
each Cyclical Equity Grant shall be, depending upon the form of Award elected by the Non-Employee Director in accordance with the election provisions set forth in Section 6 (a “Cyclical Equity Grant Election”), (i) 75,000 Options,
(ii) 37,500 shares of Restricted Stock, or (iii) 37,500 Restricted Stock Units. In the absence of a valid Cyclical Equity Grant Election, the Cyclical Equity Grant shall be awarded in the form of Options. 
  
 (b) All Options granted as Cyclical Equity Grants shall (i) expire, to the
extent not sooner exercised, terminated or forfeited, on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant; (ii) have an exercise price per share equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of grant; (iii) be subject to the
vesting provisions set forth in Section 7; and (iv) provide for payment of the exercise price via cash, check, tender of shares of Common Stock, or any combination thereof. Any such Options that are unvested as of the Non-Employee Director’s
Termination Date, after giving effect to Section 7(e), shall expire on such Termination Date, but the vested Options shall remain exercisable thereafter for the remainder of their ten-year term. Options will be evidenced by an agreement, in a form
approved by the Plan Administrator, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the LTIP. 
  
 (c) All shares of Restricted Stock granted as Cyclical Equity Grants shall (i) be subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 7; (ii) until
vested, be nontransferable and not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment, or in any other manner made subject to a hedge transaction or puts and calls; and (iii)
entitle the holder to all the rights of a stockholder, including voting and rights to receive dividends and distributions with respect to such shares, but shall be subject to transfer restrictions until vested. All shares of Restricted Stock that
are unvested as of the Non-Employee Director’s Termination Date, after giving effect to Section 7(e), shall be forfeited to the Company for no consideration on such Termination Date. The Non-Employee Director will be reflected on the
Company’s books as the owner of record of the shares of Restricted Stock as of the date of grant. The Company will hold the share certificates for safekeeping, or otherwise retain the shares in uncertificated book entry form, until the shares
of Restricted Stock become vested and nonforfeitable. Any such share certificates shall bear an appropriate legend regarding nontransferability of the shares until vesting. All regular cash dividends on the shares of Restricted Stock held by the
Company will be paid directly to the Non-Employee Director on the applicable dividend payment dates. As soon as practicable after vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock, the Company will deliver a share certificate to the Non-Employee Director,
or deliver shares electronically or in certificate form to the Non-Employee 

  

 - 6 - 

 
Director’s designated broker on the director’s behalf, for such vested shares. Restricted Stock Awards will be evidenced by an agreement, in a form
approved by the Plan Administrator, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the LTIP. 
  
 (d) All Restricted Stock Units granted as Cyclical Equity Grants shall (i) be subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 7; (ii) be
nontransferable and not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment, or in any other manner made subject to a hedge transaction or puts and calls; and (iii) be settled
in shares of Common Stock, to the extent vested, upon the Non-Employee Director’s Termination Date. All Restricted Stock Units that are unvested as of the Non-Employee Director’s Termination Date, after giving effect to Section 7(e), shall
be forfeited to the Company for no consideration on such Termination Date. Upon settlement, the Company shall issue to the director, or the director’s estate as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested units
then credited to the director’s Account. The grant of a Restricted Stock Unit shall not entitle the director to voting or other rights as a stockholder until shares of Common Stock are issued to the holder upon settlement, but shall entitle the
director to receive dividend equivalents under Section 8. Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an agreement, in a form approved by the Plan Administrator, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the LTIP.

  
 6. Elections 
  
 6.1 Types of Elections. Each Non-Employee Director shall be permitted
to make (i) for each Plan Year with respect to the Annual Retainer payable therein, either a Deferral Election pursuant to Section 4.3 or an Option Election pursuant to Section 4.4, and (ii) for each Cyclical Equity Grant, a Cyclical Equity Grant
Election pursuant to Section 5.2 (collectively, the “Elections”). An Eligible Director’s Elections shall apply to all, but not less than all, of the Annual Retainer payable for a Plan Year and to all, but not less than all, of

 (d) Elections may not be revoked or modified with respect to the Annual Retainer payable, or the Cyclical Equity Grant to be awarded,
during any Plan Year for which the Elections are effective. Elections will remain in effect from year to year unless modified prospectively by the Non-Employee Director for a subsequent Plan Year. Modifications to a Non-Employee Director’s
current Elections for any subsequent Plan Year may be made by filing a new Election Form by December 1st of the year
preceding the Plan Year for which the modified Elections are to become effective.

 All Options, Restricted Stock
Units and shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to Section 5 shall be subject to the following vesting provisions:

restrictions on transfer, as to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the shares three months after the date of grant, and as to

Control. 
  
 8. Dividend Equivalents 
  
 If the Company declares a cash dividend payable to the holders of its Common
Stock generally, then, on the payment date of the dividend, each Non-Employee Director will be credited with dividend equivalents, in the form of additional Stock Units, equal to the quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole share, determined by
dividing (i) the product of (A) the amount of cash dividend per share of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the number of whole Stock Units and whole Restricted Stock Units credited to the Non-Employee Director’s Account as of the record date, by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the payment date of the dividend. No adjustments for dividends shall be made to any Option granted under the Plan if the record date of any dividend is prior to the date of issuance of the
shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of the Option. 
  
 9.
Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events 
  
 9.1 Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of a stock dividend of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Stock, (A) the number of shares of such Common Stock as to which prospective Cyclical Equity Grants
shall be granted under this Plan, and (B) the number of shares covered by and the exercise price and other terms of outstanding Awards, shall, without further action of the Board, be adjusted to reflect such event unless the Board, in its sole
discretion, determines, at the time it approves such stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, that no such adjustment shall be made with respect to any or all particular Awards. The Plan Administrator may make adjustments, in its
discretion, to address the treatment of fractional shares and fractional cents that arise with respect to outstanding Awards as a result of the stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split. 
  
 9.2 Other Transactions Affecting the Common Stock. The terms and
conditions of this Plan and any applicable Award agreement, including without limitation the vesting provisions of Section 7, will apply with equal force to any additional and/or substitute securities or other property (including cash) received by a
Non-Employee Director in exchange for, or by virtue of his holding or having been credited with, an Award, whether such additional and/or substitute securities or other property are received as a result of any spin-off, stock split-up, stock
dividend, stock distribution, other reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, share exchange, or similar event, except as otherwise determined by the Board. 
  
 9.3 Change in Control Transactions. In the event of any transaction resulting in a Change in Control (as defined in
the LTIP) of the Company, outstanding Options will terminate 

  

 - 9 - 

 
upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision is made in connection with the transaction for the continuation or assumption of such
Options by, or for the substitution of equivalent options of, the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof. In the event of such termination, the holders of outstanding Options under the Plan will be permitted, immediately before the Change
in Control, to exercise the Options to the extent not previously exercised. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or an Award agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, all Stock Units and Restricted Stock Units then
credited to the Accounts of Non-Employee Directors will be settled and paid out to such Non-Employee Directors, on or as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Change in Control Event, in accordance with the provisions of Code section 409A.

  
 9.4 Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Board is
authorized to make, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of Awards, adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the
financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Board determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the
benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. 
  
 10. Compliance With Other Laws and Regulations 
  
 The Plan, the grant of Awards, and the obligation of the Company to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock upon vesting of shares of Restricted Stock or upon exercise of Options shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws,
rules, and regulations and to such approvals by such governmental or regulatory agency or national securities exchange as may be required. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares upon vesting of shares of Restricted Stock or upon
exercise of any Option if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Non-Employee Director or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or national securities exchange. Each Award
granted under this Plan shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Plan Administrator shall determine that (a) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject thereto on any securities exchange or trading market or
under any state or federal law of the United States or of any other country or governmental subdivision thereof, (b) the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, or (c) the making of investment or other representations are necessary
or desirable in connection with the issue or purchase of shares subject thereto, no shares of Common Stock may be issued upon grant, vesting, or exercise of any Award unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or
representation shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Plan Administrator. Any determination in this connection by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding, and conclusive. 
  
 11. Insufficient Shares 
  
 If there are insufficient shares available under the LTIP to make an Award pursuant to this Plan on the date the Award is to
be made, the Award will not be made, and the Board shall determine in its discretion what, if any, compensation shall be paid to the Non-Employee Director in lieu of such Award. 
  

 - 10 - 

 12. Modification and Termination 
  
 The Board may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, modify or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. 

 
 13. Successors 
  
 All obligations of the Company under the Plan will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of the
successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, or a merger, consolidation, or otherwise. 
  
 14. Reservation of Rights 
  
 Nothing in this Plan or in any award agreement granted hereunder will be construed to limit in any way the Board’s right to remove a Non-Employee
Director from the Board of Directors. 
  
 15. Legal Construction

  
 15.1 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise
indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein will also include the feminine; the plural will include the singular and the singular will include the plural. 
  
 15.2 Requirements of Law. The issuance of payments under the Plan will be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations. 
  
 15.3 Tax Law Compliance. To the extent any
provision of the Plan or action by the Board or Plan Administrator would subject any Non-Employee Director to liability for interest or additional taxes under Code section 409A, it will be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and
deemed advisable by the Board. It is intended that the Plan and all Awards granted thereunder will comply with Section 409A of the Code and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder, and the Plan and all Award agreements shall be interpreted
and construed on a basis consistent with such intent. The Plan and all Award agreements may be amended in any respect deemed necessary (including retroactively) by the Board in order to preserve compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 

 
 15.4 Unfunded Status of the Plan. The Plan is intended to
constitute and at all times shall be interpreted and administered so as to qualify as an unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. To the extent that
any Non-Employee Director or other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to the Plan or any Award made under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

  

 - 11 - 

 15.5 Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Award agreements entered
into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Plan Administrator relating to the Plan or such Award agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest herein
or hereunder, shall be determined exclusively in accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 
  
 15.6 Nontransferability. A Non-Employee Director’s Account may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to an Account and other Awards will be available during the Non-Employee Director’s lifetime only to the Non-Employee
Director or the Non-Employee Director’s guardian or legal representative. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require a Non-Employee Director’s guardian or legal representative to supply it with evidence the Board of Directors
deems necessary to establish the authority of the guardian or legal representative to act on behalf of the Non-Employee Director. 
  
 16. Claims Procedure 
  
 16.1 Initial Claims. In the event that a dispute arises over any payment or Award under this Plan and the payment or Award is not paid or
delivered to the Non-Employee Director (or to the Non-Employee Director’s estate in the case of the Non-Employee Director’s death), the claimant of such payment or Award must file a written claim with the Plan Administrator within 60 days
from the date payment or delivery is refused. The Plan Administrator shall review the written claim and, if the claim is denied in whole or in part, shall provide, in writing and within 90 days of receipt of such claim, the specific reasons for such
denial and reference to the provisions of this Plan or the LTIP upon which the denial is based and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim. Such written notice shall further indicate the steps to be taken by the
claimant if a further review of the claim denial is desired. 
  
 16.2 Appeals. If the claimant desires a second review, he or she shall notify the Plan Administrator in writing within 60 days of the first claim denial. The claimant may review the Plan, the LTIP or any documents relating
thereto and submit any written issues and comments he or she may feel appropriate. In its discretion, the Plan Administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a written decision within 60 days of receipt of such claim. This decision
shall likewise state the specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to specific provisions of the Plan or LTIP upon which the decision is based.
