	Section 6.	Termination of Employment

	Section 7.	General Provisions 

 (a) Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective with respect
to Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. 
 (b) Amendment and Termination. The Company may, from time to time, by
action of the Board, amend, suspend or terminate any or all of the provisions of the Plan with respect to the then current Plan Year and any future Plan Year, without the requirement of obtaining the consent of the affected Participants. 

(c) No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to remain employed by the Company or
to limit, in any way, the right of the Company to terminate, or to change the terms of, a Participant’s employment at any time. 
 (d)
Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Michigan, without regard to the choice-of-law rules thereof. 

(e) Section 409A. The Company intends that that payments and benefits under this Plan will either comply with or be exempt from
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent
permitted, this Plan shall be interpreted to be exempt from Section 409A or in compliance therewith, as applicable. Nothing contained herein shall constitute any representation or warranty by the Company regarding compliance with
Section 409A. The Company shall have no obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional income tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A on any person and the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each
of their respective employees or representatives, shall have no liability to any person with respect thereto. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of the Plan providing for the payment of any
amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment, unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A and the payment thereof prior to a “separation from service” would violate Section 409A. For purposes of any such provision of the Plan or relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a
“termination,” “termination of employment,” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If an amount is paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a
separate payment. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan, any payment(s) of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a “specified
employee” (as defined under Section 409A) as a result of his or her separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A) shall be delayed for the first six months following such separation from service
(or, if earlier, until the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid on the day that immediately follows the end of such six-month period. 

(f) Section 162(m) Transition Relief. This Plan, having been adopted prior to the Company’s securities having become publicly
held in connection with an initial 

  
 4 

 
public offering, is intended to satisfy the requirements for the transition relief under Treasury Regulation §1.162-27(f)(1) such that the deduction limit set forth in Treasury Regulation
§1.162-27(b) does not apply to any remuneration paid pursuant to this Plan until the first meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which directors of the Company are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar year
following the calendar year in which the initial public offering of the Company’s securities occurs.
