	1.	 PURPOSE. 

The purpose of the Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. Employee Stock Purchase Plan is to provide eligible employees with an incentive to advance the
interests of Bowman Consulting Group Ltd., a Delaware corporation and chartered trust company (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries, by affording them an opportunity to purchase Stock of the Company at a favorable price. 

 

	2.	 GENERAL. 

(a) Compliance With Applicable Laws. The Plan is subject to any applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, and any other applicable law or regulation. 
 (b) Effective Date. The Plan will not become
effective until the latest of (i) the completion of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the date that the Plan has been approved by the Board (the “Effective Date”). The
effectiveness of the Plan shall also be subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such
approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under applicable laws. No shares of Stock may be delivered to any Participant under the Plan unless and until such shareholder approval is obtained. If such shareholder approval is
not obtained, all options to purchase shares of Stock granted hereunder shall be null and void, except that any payroll deductions related to the options shall be returned to the applicable Participants. 

(c) Duration. The Plan shall remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the date the Board terminates the Plan pursuant to
Section 18, (ii) the Plan’s automatic termination as set forth in Section 18, or (iii) the date that all shares of Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan shall have been purchased
or granted according to the Plan’s provisions. 
  

	3.	 DEFINED TERMS. 

The following words and phrases as used in the Plan shall have the meanings set forth in this Section 3 unless a
different meaning is clearly required by the context: 
 “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 

“Cancellation Notice” means the notice, in the form approved by the Committee, that is delivered by a Participant who
wishes to cancel his or her election to purchase Stock during an Offering, as described in Section 8(e). 

  
 Page 1 of 14 

 “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Participant’s
employment agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; or if no such definition exists at the time in question, means, with respect to a Participant, the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) dishonesty, fraud, embezzlement
or theft by the Participant in any manner connected with the performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) the Participant’s conviction of, or a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to any
felony or to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (iii) a material breach by the Participant or non-compliance with the terms and conditions of a written employment agreement between the Participant
and the Company or any Subsidiary or of any non-solicitation, non-competition, and/or non-disclosure agreement with the Company
or any Subsidiary; (iv) the Participant’s failure for any reason, following thirty (30) days written notice thereof to the Participant of the need to correct, cease, or otherwise alter any failure to comply with reasonable
instructions or other action or omission to act by the Participant which the Company reasonably believes is material and does or may adversely affect its business or operations; or (v) material misconduct by the Participant which, in the
Company’s reasonable judgment, is of such a nature that a likelihood exists that such misconduct will materially injure the reputation of the Company or its Subsidiaries if the Participant was to remain employed by the Company or any
Subsidiary. The Committee shall in its discretion determine whether or not a Participant’s employment is terminated with the existence of Cause. The Committee’s determination shall, unless arbitrary and capricious, be final and binding on
the Participant, the Company, its Subsidiaries, and all other affected persons. The foregoing definition does not in any way limit the Company’s ability to terminate a Participant’s employment or service at any time, and the term
“Company” will be interpreted herein to include any Subsidiary or affiliate or successor thereto, if appropriate. Any determination by the Committee that the service of a Participant was terminated with or without the existence of Cause
for the purposes of the Plan will have no effect upon any determination of the rights or obligations of the Company, any Subsidiary or affiliate, or such Participant for any other purpose. For purposes of this definition, Cause shall not be
considered to exist unless the Company provides written notice to the Participant which indicates the specific Cause provision in this Plan relied upon, to the extent applicable sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for such Cause and specifies the termination date. The failure by the Company to set forth in such notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of the Company hereunder or preclude
the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s rights hereunder. 
 “Change in
Control” means, the occurrence of a “change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, as determined in
accordance with this definition. In determining whether an event shall be considered a “change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets”
of the Company, the following provisions shall apply:

securities of the Company that, together with the equity securities held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the Company, as determined in accordance with Treasury
Regulation §1.409A-

value or total voting power of the equity securities of the Company, or to have effective control of the Company within the meaning of subsection (B), and such Person acquires additional equity securities of the Company, the acquisition of

voting power of the Company’s equity securities, and such Person acquires additional equity securities of the Company, the acquisition of additional equity securities by such Person shall not be considered to cause a “change in the
effective control” of the Company; or 
 (ii) The date on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company is
replaced during any twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election, as determined in accordance with Treasury

Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii). A transfer of assets shall not be treated as a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” when such transfer is made to an entity that is
controlled by the holders of the Company’s equity securities, as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(B).

granted under the Plan expire or terminate prior to its exercise in full, the shares of Stock theretofore subject to such option may again be subject to an option granted under the Plan. Any shares of Stock which are not subject to outstanding

	6.	 PARTICIPATING AFFILIATE. 

Each present and future parent and subsidiary of the Company (within the meaning of Code Sections 424(e) and (f)) that is eligible by law to participate in the
Plan shall be a “Participating Affiliate” during the period that such entity is such a parent or subsidiary; provided, however, that (a) the Committee may at any time and
from time to time, in its sole discretion, terminate a Participating Affiliate’s participation in the Plan, and (b) any such foreign parent or subsidiary of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan only upon written
approval of the Committee and, for clarification purposes, as of the Effective Date, no such foreign parent or subsidiary of the Company has been so designated. Any Participating Affiliate may, by appropriate action of its Board of Directors,
terminate its participation in the Plan. Transfer of employment among the Company and Participating Affiliates (and among any other parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not be considered a termination of employment hereunder. 

 

	7.	 ELIGIBILITY. 

Any employee of the Company or a Participating Affiliate (determined under Treasury Regulation §1.421-1(h)) who
satisfies all of the following requirements as of the applicable Grant Date (an “Eligible Employee”) shall be eligible to participate in any Offering Period that begins on or after the first day of the next calendar
quarter after all such requirements are met: 
 (a) The employee whose customary employment is more than twenty (20) hours per week and
at least five (5) months per calendar year; and 
 (b) The employee does not, immediately after the option is granted, own stock
possessing five-percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of a parent or Subsidiary (within the meaning of Sections 423(b)(3) and 424(d) of the Code); and 

(c) The employee has been continuously employed by the Company for such period preceding the first day of an Offering Period as the Board may
require for Company employees, but in no event will the required period of continuous employment be equal to or greater than two years prior to the first day of an Offering Period. 

Employees who are subject to the disclosure requirements of section16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are not Eligible Employees, 

 

	8.	 OFFERING. 

(a) Offering Period. The Committee shall designate (in writing or electronically) one (1) or more Offering Periods during which the
Company will offer options to Eligible Employees to purchase shares of Stock under this Plan, which designation shall be incorporated by reference into the Plan. Each Offering Period shall commence on the first day of a calendar quarter and end of
the last day of such calendar quarter. All Eligible Employees who are eligible to purchase shares of Stock during an Offering Period shall have the same rights and privileges with respect to that Offering Period. 

  
 Page 7 of 14 

 (b) Election to Participate. Each Eligible Employee who elects to participate in an
Offering (a “Participant”) shall deliver to the Company or its designee (as determined by the Committee), within the time period designated by the Committee, an Enrollment Form (in writing or electronic) approved by the
Committee, on which the Participant will give notice of his or her election to participate in the Plan as of the next following Grant Date, and the percentage or specific amount (as determined by the Committee) of his or her Eligible Compensation to
be deducted for each pay period during the Offering Period and credited to a book entry account established in his or her name. The designated percentage or specific amount of a Participant’s Eligible Compensation to be deducted for each pay
period during an Offering Period may not be less than one-percent (1%) or greater than (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the amount of Eligible Compensation (after taxes and any other authorized payroll
deductions are withheld) from which the deduction is made; or (ii) an amount which will result in non-compliance with the annual limitations stated in Section 8(d) below. The
Committee may adopt a procedure pursuant to which a Participant who has elected to participate in an Offering shall be deemed to have made the same election for each subsequent Offering for which he or she is eligible, unless and until the
Participant cancels his or her election as described in Section 8(e) below. 
 (c) Payment for Shares. A
Participant may elect to purchase shares of Stock during an Offering Period only by means of payroll deduction. 
 (d) Annual
Limitations. No Eligible Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan to purchase Stock to the extent such grant would permit his or her rights to purchase Stock under the Plan and under all other employee stock purchase plans of the
Company and its parent and subsidiaries (as such terms are defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code) to accrue at a rate which exceeds, in any one (1) calendar year in which any such option granted to such Eligible Employee is
outstanding at any time (within the meaning of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code), the lesser of (i) $15,000 in Fair Market Value of Stock (determined in accordance with Section 8(b) at the time the option is granted), or
(ii) fifteen percent (15%) of the Participant’s Eligible Compensation (determined at the time the option is granted). 
 (e)
Cancellation of Election. Any Participant may cancel his or her election made for an Offering Period at any time prior to thirty (30) days before the Purchase Date for that Offering Period. Partial withdrawals shall not be permitted. A
Participant who wishes to cancel his or her election must timely deliver (in writing or electronically) to the Company a Cancellation Notice in the form approved by the Committee. The Company, promptly following the time when such Cancellation
Notice is delivered, shall refund to the Participant the amount of the cash balance in his or her account under the Plan and shall cancel the Participant’s payroll deduction authorization and his or her interest in unexercised options under the
Plan shall terminate. A Participant who cancels his or her election shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan during the then current Offering Period but shall be eligible to participate again in the Plan in a subsequent Offering Period
(provided that the Participant is otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan at such time and complies with the enrollment procedures). 

  
 Page 8 of 14 

 (f) Termination of Employment. If the employment of a Participant with the Company
and its Participating Affiliates terminates for any reason (including death), his or her election made for the current Offering Period and his or her participation in the Plan shall terminate as of the date of termination of employment; provided,
however, if such termination occurs within the last two (2) weeks of the Offering Period, the Participant’s participation shall not terminate until the end of the Offering Period after his or her Plan account has been applied toward
the purchase of shares of Stock for such Offering Period. The Company shall refund to the Participant the amount of the cash balance in his or her account under the Plan, and no further shares of Stock will be purchased under the Plan. 

(g) Leaves of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, the Participant’s employment will be treated as continuing while the Participant
is on military, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if such leave does not exceed ninety (90) days or, if longer, such period during which the Participant continues to be guaranteed reemployment rights by statute or contract as
described in Treasury Regulation §1.421-7(h)(2). If a Participant takes an unpaid leave of absence, then such Participant may not make additional contributions under the Plan while on such unpaid leave of
absence (except to the extent of any Eligible Compensation paid during such leave), but any payroll deductions already taken during the applicable Offering Period shall be applied to exercise options on the next following Purchase Date, unless
cancelled pursuant to Section 8(e) or (f) above. 
  

	9.	 PURCHASE OF STOCK. 

On the Purchase Date at the end of an Offering Period, each Participant in the Offering, automatically and without any act on his or her part, shall be deemed
to have exercised his or her option to purchase whole shares of Stock at the Purchase Price designated by the Committee for such Offering. The number of whole shares of Stock to be purchased by a Participant shall be the total payroll deductions
withheld on behalf of such Participant during the Offering Period divided by the Purchase Price of the Stock. To the extent that, after the purchase of the maximum number of whole shares of Stock permitted under the Plan with respect to an Offering
Period, there is cash remaining in the Participant’s Plan account, the remaining amount that would have been used to purchase a fractional share will be held in the Participant’s account for the purchase of Stock under the next Offering
Period under the Plan and any remaining balance will be returned to the Participant as soon as practicable following the Purchase Date by check or other payroll credit for such amount. 

 

	10.	 DELIVERY OF SHARES. 

(a) Delivery of Shares. As soon as practicable after each Purchase Date, the Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) the aggregate
number of shares of Stock purchased for each Participant for credit to the accounts of Participants established with the Custodian. 
 (b)
Duties of the Custodian. The Custodian shall have the following duties with respect to shares of Stock purchased by Participants following an Offering Period: 

(i) The Custodian will keep accurate records of the beneficial interests of each Participant in the shares of Stock by means of
Participants’ accounts under the Plan and will provide each Participant with periodic statements as directed by the Committee. 
 (ii)
The Custodian will, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Custodian, facilitate voting rights attributable to shares held in Participants’ accounts. 

  
 Page 9 of 14 

 (iii) The Custodian will automatically reinvest any cash dividends received by the Custodian
on Stock in Participants’ accounts in additional shares of Stock. 
 (iv) The Committee may require that shares of Stock be retained
with the Custodian, or other designated broker or agent, for a designated period of time and/or the Committee may establish other procedures to permit tracking of “disqualifying dispositions” of the shares. 

(c) Delivery of Shares to Participants. A Participant may, at any time, in the form and manner established by the Committee, direct the
Custodian to sell Stock held by the Custodian in his or her account, subject to the restrictions in Section 13, and deliver the proceeds therefrom, less applicable expenses, to the Participant. 

(d) Neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any liability with respect to a delay in the delivery of a Stock certificate pursuant to
this Section 10. 
 (e) While shares of Stock are held by the Company (or its agent), such shares may not be sold,
assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of by the Participant who has purchased such shares; provided, however, that such restriction shall not apply to the transfer of such shares of Stock
pursuant to (a) a plan of reorganization of the Company (but the stock, securities or other property received in exchange therefor shall be held by the Company pursuant to the provisions hereof), or (b) a divorce. 

 

	11.	 HOLDING PERIOD & TAXES 

A Participant may dispose of (in any manner including assignment or hypothecation) shares of Stock acquired under this Plan at any time following the Purchase
Date of such shares so long as such disposition complies with all applicable securities laws. 
 While the Plan does not have a required holding period,
each Participant may be required to hold his or her shares of Stock acquired through this Plan until the later of twelve (12) months following their Purchase Date or twenty-four (24) months following their Grant Date, if the Participant
desires to achieve capital gains treatment with respect to any gain. 
 To the extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Participating
Affiliates is required to withhold federal, state or any other taxes in connection with a Participant’s participation in this Plan, the Participant consents to the Company or such Subsidiary or Participating Affiliate deducting such amount from
any compensation due to such Participant by the Company or such Subsidiary or Participating Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participant remains solely responsible for all taxes due with respect to his or her participation in the Plan.

  

	12.	 INSUFFICIENCY OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE. 

If the total number of shares of Stock remaining available for issuance pursuant to Section 5 is less than the total number of shares
of Stock that has been elected by Participants to be purchased for a given Offering Period, after application of the limitations in Sections 8(b), (d) and (f) (the “Total Share Limit”), then the number of
shares of Stock that could otherwise be acquired by each Participant for the given Offering Period shall be reduced proportionately based on the ratio that such available shares bears such total shares elected to be purchased by all Participants
with respect to such Offering Period. 

  
 Page 10 of 14 

	13.	 RESTRICTION UPON ASSIGNMENT. 

An Eligible Employee’s rights under the Plan shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. An Eligible
Employee’s option to purchase shares of Stock shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Eligible Employee to whom it was granted. The Company shall not recognize any assignment or purported assignment by an
Eligible Employee of his or her option or of any rights under his or her option, and any such attempt may be treated by the Company as an election to withdraw from the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may file a written designation
of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Stock and cash in the Participant’s Plan account in the event of such Participant’s death. Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice
during Participant’s lifetime. Upon the death of a Participant and upon receipt by the Company of proof of the identity and existence of a beneficiary validly designated by him or her under the Plan, the Company shall deliver such shares and
cash to such beneficiary. In the event of the death of the Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares of Stock
and cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company) the Company shall deliver such shares of Stock and cash to the applicable court
having jurisdiction over the administration of such estate. No designated beneficiary shall, prior to the death of the Participant by whom he or she has been designated, acquire any interest in the shares or Stock or cash credited to the Participant
under the Plan. 
  

	14.	 NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. 

A Participant shall not have any rights or privileges of a stockholder until following the applicable Purchase Date the Company has either evidenced
uncertificated shares with the Custodian or issued a certificate for shares of Stock to the Participant. With respect to a Participant’s Stock that has been issued but is held by the Custodian pursuant to Section 10,
the Company (or its agent) shall, as soon as practicable and in accordance with applicable law, pay the Participant any cash dividends attributable thereto and facilitate the Participant’s voting rights attributable thereto. 

 

	15.	 CLAWBACK/RECOVERY. 

All shares of Stock purchased under the Plan will be subject to clawback, recovery, or recoupment, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion,
(a) as provided in any clawback or forfeiture policy implemented by the Company from time to time and applicable to all officers of the Company on the same terms and conditions, including without limitation, any such policy adopted to comply
with the requirements of applicable law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Company, or (b) to the extent that the Committee determines that the Participant has been involved in the altering, inflating, and/or
inappropriate manipulation of performance/financial results, violation of laws, or any other infraction of recognized ethical business standards, or that the Participant has willfully engaged 

  
 Page 11 of 14 

 
in any activity injurious to the Company, or the Participant’s termination with the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates is for Cause. No recovery of compensation under this
Section 15 will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or

	16.	 CHANGES IN STOCK; ADJUSTMENTS. 

Whenever any change is made in the Stock, by reason of a stock dividend or by reason of subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization,
reorganization, combinations, reclassification of shares, or other similar change, appropriate action will be taken by the Committee to appropriately adjust the number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan, the minimum and maximum number of shares
that may be purchased hereunder, and the number and Purchase Price of shares available for purchase and elections made to purchase such shares during the current Offering Period. 

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless a surviving company assumes or substitutes new options to purchase (within the meaning of Code
Section 424(a)) for all options to purchase shares of Stock then outstanding or the Committee elects to continue the options to purchase shares of Stock then outstanding without change, the Purchase Date for all options then outstanding shall

	18.	 AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. 

The Board in its discretion may terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which options have not theretofore been granted. The Committee
shall have the right to alter or amend the Plan or any part thereof, from time to time without the approval of the stockholders of the Company; provided that no change in any option theretofore granted, other than a change determined by the
Committee to be necessary to comply with applicable law, may be made which would impair the rights of the Participant without the consent of such Participant; and provided further that the Committee may not make any alteration or amendment,
without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, which would (i) increase the aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Plan (other than as a result of either the automatic increase
contained in Section 5 of the Plan or the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan), (ii) change the annual limitation under Section 8(d)(ii), (iii) extend the term of an Offering Period or the term of
the Plan (as defined below), (iv) change the class of individuals eligible to receive options under the Plan, or (v) cause options issued under the Plan to fail to meet the requirements for employee stock purchase plans as defined in
Section 423 of the Code.

 Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan shall automatically terminate on, and no further Offering
Periods shall begin ten (10) years after its Effective Date; provided, however, no termination of the Plan, other than to the extent that the Board determines is necessary or advisable to comply with applicable U.S. or foreign laws,
shall adversely affect in any material way any option previously granted under the Plan, without the written (or electronic) consent of the Participant who has elected to purchase shares pursuant to such option. No further options to purchase may be
granted under the Plan after the Plan is terminated. 
  

	19.	 SECURITIES LAWS.

from the registration requirements of such laws, rules or regulations available for the issuance and sale of such shares. Further, all Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s policy or policies, if any, concerning
compliance with securities laws and regulations, as the same may be amended from time to time. 
 The Committee may cause any Stock certificates issued
under the Plan to bear such legend or legends, and the Committee may take such other actions, as it deems appropriate in order to reflect the provisions of Section 10 and 11 and to assure compliance with applicable
securities laws. 
  

	20.	 NO RESTRICTION ON CORPORATE ACTION. 

Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any parent, Subsidiary or affiliate from taking any corporate action which is deemed
by the Company or such parent, Subsidiary or affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any grant made under the Plan. No employee, beneficiary or other person shall
have any claim against the Company or any parent, Subsidiary or affiliate as a result of any such action. 
  

	21.	 ELECTRONIC DELIVERY. 

Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document will include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the
Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company to which the Participant has access).

Exhibit 10.1

U.S. Notice of Terms
Non-Qualified Stock Option
To:        [________]
BEMSID:    [________]
Grant Date:    [________]
As part of its executive compensation program, The Boeing Company (the “Company”) has granted you an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”) pursuant to The Boeing Company 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”), and the provisions contained herein (this “Notice”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Notice shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.  Your Option is subject to the terms of the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Notice and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall control. You are required to accept and acknowledge the terms and conditions of the Option within forty-five (45) days of the date this Notice is delivered to you, through the mechanism and procedures determined by the Company, as a condition to receiving the Option. The terms and conditions of the Option are as follows:
1.    Number of Shares Subject to Option.  The Option gives you the right to purchase up to [____] shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at the exercise price and on the terms set forth in this Notice.
2.    Exercise Price.  [120% of Grant Date FMV].
3.    Type of Option. The Option is granted as a non-qualified stock option. Non-qualified stock options are considered ordinary income when exercised and are taxed accordingly. The amount of ordinary income is the difference between the exercise price and the price on the date the Option or a portion of it is exercised.
4.    Vesting and Exercisability of Option.  The Option will vest in full and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”), provided the Option has not otherwise expired. The Option is granted on the condition that you remain continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date. 
5.      Adjustment in Number of Shares Subject to Option.  The number of shares subject to the Option will be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from any stock split, combination or exchange of Common Stock, consolidation, spin-off or recapitalization of Common Stock, or any similar capital adjustment or the payment of any stock dividend. 
6.    Impact of Certain Terminations.  
6.1  In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of retirement or layoff on or after attaining age 62 with at least one year of service, and provided (in the case of retirement) that you have given the Company sufficient advance notice of your retirement (i.e., 60 days), you will remain eligible to vest in your Option in accordance with Section 4 as though you had continued employment through the Vesting Date.
6.2  In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of retirement on or after attaining age 55 with at least ten years of service or under conditions that satisfy the requirements for “retirement” under a defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or a Related Company in which you participate, or due to layoff (in each case, prior to attaining at least age 62 with at least one year of service), the number of shares subject to the Option will be prorated based on the number of full and partial calendar months you spent on the active payroll during the vesting period (beginning with the first full calendar month after the Grant Date).
6.3  In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of death or disability, you will immediately vest in the Option. For purposes of this Award, “disability” means a disability entitling you to benefits under any long-term disability policy sponsored by the Company or a Related Company.
6.4  In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason (including for cause and resignation prior to retirement eligibility) other than those reasons described above in this Section 6, the Option and all rights to exercise the Option will immediately be forfeited and canceled.
7.    Expiration of Vested Option.  As long as you remain employed by the Company or a Related Company, your vested Option will expire after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date (or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date]).
7.1  If your employment with the Company terminates due to death, disability or layoff, your vested Option will expire at the earlier of five (5) years from your termination date or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date]. 

7.2  If your employment with the Company terminates due to retirement, your vested Option will expire after the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date]).  “Retirement” for this purpose means retirement under the conditions that satisfy the requirements for “retirement” under a defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or a Related Company in which you participate. If you are an executive who is not eligible to participate in a defined benefit pension plan, “retirement” means termination of employment voluntarily by you, after you have attained either (i) age 55 with ten (10) years of service, or (ii) age 62 with one (1) year of service. 
7.3  If your employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated for cause, your vested Option will expire upon your termination.
7.4  If your employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than those reasons described above in this Section 7, your vested Option will expire at the earlier of ninety (90) days from your termination date or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date].
8.    Method of Exercise.  
8.1  You may exercise the Option by giving written notice to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which will state your election to exercise the Option and the number of whole shares for which you are exercising the Option, and by completing such other documents and procedures as may be required by the Company for exercise of the Option. The notice must be accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of shares you are purchasing. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, you may make this payment in any one or combination of the following: 
(a)    check acceptable to the Company;
(b)    wire transfer; 
(c)    tendering by attestation shares of Common Stock you already own that on the day prior to the exercise date have a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares being purchased under the Option; 
(d)    delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option exercise price and any tax withholding obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board; or 
(e)    any other method as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion.
8.2  It is your responsibility to be aware of your Option’s expiration date so that you may consider whether or not to exercise the Option before it expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Option’s expiration date the closing price of one share of the Common Stock exceeds the per share Exercise Price, you have not exercised the Option and the Option has not expired, you will be deemed to have exercised the Option on such day with payment made by withholding the shares otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option. In such event, the Company shall deliver to you the number of shares for which the Option was deemed exercised, less the number of shares required to be withheld for the payment of the total purchase price and required withholding taxes; provided, however, any fractional Share shall be settled in cash, rounded down to the nearest $.01.
9.    Withholding Taxes.  As a condition to the exercise of any portion of an Option, you must make such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, provincial, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise.  
10.    Transferability. The Option is not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution and during your lifetime the Option may be exercised only by you, your guardian or your legal representative. The Plan permits exercise of the Option by the personal representative of your estate or the beneficiary thereof following your death. The Option may be exercised only for whole shares, and may not be exercised for less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the Compensation Committee. You may designate a beneficiary to receive your Option in the event of your death, on a Company-approved form, who may exercise the Option after your death. 
11.    Clawback and Forfeiture Policy.  
11.1  This Option and any proceeds resulting from the vesting of this Option are subject to the Clawback Policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, as amended from time to time (the “Policy”). The Policy provides (among other things) that an Option may be subject to clawback and forfeiture (meaning that the Option or proceeds thereof must be promptly returned to the Company if already exercised, or that you will lose your entitlement to an Option if it has not yet been exercised) in the discretion of the Committee, if the Committee determines that you have (i) violated, or engaged in negligent conduct in connection with the supervision of someone who violated, any Company policy, law, or regulation that has compromised the safety of any of the Company’s products or services and has, or reasonably could be expected to have, a material adverse impact on the Company, the Company’s customers or the public; or (ii) engaged in fraud, bribery, or illegal acts like fraud or bribery, or knowingly failed to report such acts of an employee over whom you had direct supervisory responsibility.  

11.2  In addition, subject to applicable law, or except as may be otherwise provided in the Addendum, this Option and any proceeds resulting from the vesting or exercise of this Option are subject to clawback and forfeiture in the event you engage in any of the following conduct, as determined by the Company or its delegate in its sole discretion, prior to the second anniversary of the Vesting Date: you (i) plead or admit to, are convicted of, or are otherwise found guilty of a criminal or indictable offense involving theft, fraud, embezzlement, or other similar unlawful acts against the Company or against the Company’s interests; (ii) directly or indirectly engage in competition with any aspect of Company business with which you were involved or about which you gained Company proprietary or confidential information; (iii) induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s employees, representatives or consultants to terminate, discontinue or cease working with or for the Company, or to breach any contract with the Company, in order to work with or for, or enter into a contract with, you or any third party; (iv) disparage or defame the Company or its products or current or former employees, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit any individual from reporting, in good faith, suspected unlawful conduct in the workplace; or (v) take, misappropriate, use or disclose Company proprietary or confidential information. Clawback can, if possible and where permitted by local law, be made by deducting payments that will become due in the future (including salary, bonuses, or share awards).
