     THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 to the RPM International Inc. 2003 Restricted Stock Plan for Directors is
executed by RPM International Inc. (hereinafter known as the “Company”) as of the date set forth
below.

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the RPM International Inc. 2003 Restricted Stock Plan for
Directors (hereinafter known as the “Plan) for the benefit of certain of its directors; and

     WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Company to assure that the Plan meets the requirements for
exemption from coverage under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code;
and

     WHEREAS, final regulations under Section 409A, which are effective January 1, 2009, provide
that restricted stock will not be deferred compensation under Section 409A as long as there is no
deferral of the property upon lapse of the restrictions; and

     WHEREAS, final regulations under Section 409A, which are effective January 1, 2009, further
provide that deferred compensation that was earned and vested as of December 31, 2004, is exempt
from coverage under Section 409A, so that any deferrals of restricted stock made prior to December
31, 2004 are not subject to Section 409A; and

     WHEREAS, the Company has determined to eliminate the right of Grantees to defer their
Restricted Stock into the RPM International Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan;

 

 

     NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Plan the Company hereby amends the Plan as
follows:

          1. Effective as of January 1, 2005, Section 2.9 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety, and

shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Plan shall be paid to the
Grantee in whose name the shares of Restricted Stock are held.”

          3. Effective as of January 1, 2005, Article 6 of the Plan is amended by the addition of a new
Section 6.5 at the end thereof to read as follows:

     “6.5 Section 409A of the Code. The Grants of Restricted Stock under this Plan,
and all rights related thereto are intended to meet the requirements for exemption from
coverage under Section 409A of the Code dealing with nonqualified deferred compensation
(including without limitation the exemptions thereunder for short-term deferrals and
restricted property) and all Grants will be construed and administered accordingly.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan or any Grant to the contrary, this Plan and
any Restricted Stock Agreement may be unilaterally amended by the Company as it may
determine, prospectively or retroactively, to better secure exemption of Grants and rights
related thereto from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (with, to the extent
required by Section 12.2, the consent of Grantees or Eligible Directors holding an
outstanding Grant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).”

practicable time after the lapse of restrictions. The Company or the escrow agent (as the
case may be) shall sell the fewest number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
restrictions have lapsed necessary for the proceeds of such sale to equal (or exceed by not

tax liability determined by multiplying (A) the aggregate maximum marginal federal income
tax rate and applicable state and local income tax rates on the date of the lapse of
restrictions; by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
restrictions have lapsed. The Company or the escrow agent (as the case may be) shall
withhold the proceeds of such sale for purposes of satisfying the Grantee’s federal, state
and local income taxes resulting from the lapse of restrictions. Prior to any such sale,
the Committee shall cause new certificates for such shares to be issued, with any legend
making reference to the restrictions imposed hereunder removed. The Grantee shall provide
the Committee, the Company and/or the escrow agent with such Stock Powers and additional
information or documents as may be necessary for the Committee, the Company and/or the
escrow agent to discharge their obligations under this Section.”

Performance Share Awards, Performance Unit Awards, Restricted Stock Awards, or Restricted

an Eligible Person who is an employee of an Allied Enterprise unless the Committee can demonstrate
legitimate business criteria for granting such Award.

     (b) Amendment of Awards; Waiver of Terms. After an Award has been granted:

     (i) the Committee may waive any term or condition thereof that could have been excluded
from such Award when it was granted, and

and no additional consideration need be received by the Company in exchange for such waiver or

     (c) Plan Agreements. Awards are contingent on an Eligible Person’s execution of a
plan agreement in the form prescribed by the Committee. All plan agreements shall incorporate this
Plan by reference. The Committee may condition an Award upon a Eligible Person’s execution and
delivery of one or more Stock Powers in blank to the Company. Execution of a plan agreement by the
Eligible Person shall constitute the Eligible Person’s irrevocable agreement to and acceptance of

conditions of the Plan applicable to such Award. Plan agreements may differ from time to time and
from Eligible Person to Eligible Person.

     (d) Revocation of Awards. The Committee may revoke any Award; provided, however, that
after a plan agreement evidencing an Award has been executed and delivered to the Designated
Representative, the Committee may revoke the Award only with the written consent of the
Participant.

     (e) Performance-Based Compensation Awards. The Committee may grant Awards that
qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. Any provision of the Plan that cannot be interpreted,
administered or construed to permit the granting of such Awards shall, to that extent, be
disregarded.

     (f) Incentive Stock Options; Non-Statutory Stock Options. The Committee may grant
Options that are “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code. Any provision of the Plan
that cannot be interpreted, administered or construed to permit the granting of such Options shall,
to that extent, be disregarded. If an Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option but, for
any reason, such Option or a portion thereof does not so qualify, then to the extent such Option
does not so qualify, such Option or such portion thereof shall be regarded as a Non-Statutory Stock
Option appropriately granted under this Plan provided it otherwise meets the Plan’s requirements
for Non-Statutory Stock Options.

5. Stock Available Under Plan; Award Limits.

     (a) Number of Shares. Subject to Sections 5(c), 5(d) and 11:

7

 

     (i) the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under
this Plan pursuant to Awards is six million (6,000,000) shares of Common Stock; and

     (ii) not more than three million (3,000,000) shares of the maximum aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock may be issued under this Plan pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards,
Restricted Stock Unit Awards, Performance Share Awards and Performance Unit Awards. Such
Awards shall be 100% fully performance-based stock compensation awards within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code; and

     (iii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under this Plan during any Plan Year (as defined in
Section 13(d)) to any Participant is two hundred twenty-five thousand (225,000) shares of
Common Stock; and

     (iv) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which any and all
Awards other than Appreciation-Only Awards and Dollar-Denominated Awards may be granted
under this Plan in any Plan Year to any Participant is one hundred seventy-five thousand
(175,000) shares of Common Stock; and

     (v) no Participant may receive more than two million five hundred thousand dollars
($2,500,000) (or the equivalent thereof in shares of Common Stock, based on their Fair
Market Value on the date as of which the number of shares is determined) in payment of
Dollar-Denominated Awards that are granted to such Participant under this Plan in any Plan
Year.

     (b) Adjustments to Number of Shares. If, in connection with an acquisition of another
company or all or part of the assets of another company by the Company or a Subsidiary, or in
connection with a merger or other combination of another company with the Company or a Subsidiary,
the Company either: (A) assumes stock options or other stock incentive obligations of such other
company, or (B) grants stock options or other stock incentives in substitution for stock options or
other stock incentive obligations of such other company, then none of the shares of Common Stock
that are issuable or transferable pursuant to such stock options or other stock incentives that are
assumed or granted in substitution by the Company shall be charged against the limitations set
forth in this Section.

     (c) Source of Shares. Shares which may be issued pursuant to Awards made under the
Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, shares of Common Stock held in the
treasury, whether acquired by the Company specifically for use under this Plan or otherwise, or
shares issued or transferred to, or otherwise acquired by, a trust or other legal entity pursuant
to Section 16(d), as the Committee may from time to time determine; provided, however, that any
shares acquired or held by the Company for the purposes of this Plan shall, unless and until issued
or transferred to a trust or other legal entity pursuant to Section 16(d) or to an Eligible Person
in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Award, be and at all times remain treasury
shares of the Company, irrespective of whether such shares are credited to a special account for
purposes of this Plan, and shall be available for any corporate purpose.

8

 

     (d) Effect of Termination of Award. If any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award
shall not be issued to an Eligible Person and shall cease to be issuable to a Eligible Person
because of the termination, expiration, forfeiture or cancellation, in whole or in part, of such
Award or the settlement of such Award in cash or for any other reason, or if any such shares shall,
after issuance, be reacquired by the Company because of an Eligible Person’s failure to comply with
the terms and conditions of an Award, the shares not so issued, or the shares so reacquired by the
Company, as the case may be, shall be charged against the limitations provided for in Section 5(a)
and shall not be granted under this Plan again.

     (e) Effect of Receipt of Shares. Subject to Section 5(f), if the purchase price of
shares subject to an Option is paid in shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8(b)(iv), the number of shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the purchase price
of the shares subject to the Option shall not be added back to the maximum aggregate number of
shares which may be issued under Section 5(a).

     (f) Compliance with NYSE Rules; Preservation of Incentive Stock Option Status. If and
to the extent that the Committee determines that any provisions of this Plan shall cause the
Company or the Plan to fail to satisfy the rules or listing standards of the New York Stock
Exchange, as in effect from time to time, or shall prevent Incentive Stock Options granted under
the Plan from qualifying as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, then to that
extent, such provisions shall be disregarded.

6. Incentive Awards.

     (a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in Section 16(e), Incentive Awards shall
be subject to the following provisions:

     (i) Amount of Incentive Awards. Incentive Awards may be granted in lieu of, or
as a supplement to, any other compensation that may have been earned by the Eligible Person
prior to the date on which the Incentive Award is granted. The amount of an Incentive Award
may be based upon: (i) a specified number of shares of Common Stock or the Fair Market
Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) an amount not determined by
reference to the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock. Any
Incentive Award may be paid in the form of money or shares of Common Stock valued at their
Fair Market Value, or a combination of money and such shares, as the Committee may provide
in the relevant plan agreement. Dividend Equivalents, Performance Share Awards, Performance
Unit Awards, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards are specific forms of
Incentive Awards, but are not the only forms in which Incentive Awards may be made.

     (ii) Timing of Payment for Incentive Awards. Any shares of Common Stock that
are to be issued pursuant to an Incentive Award, and any money to be paid in respect of an
Incentive Award, may be issued or paid to the Eligible Person at the time such Award is
granted, or at any time subsequent thereto, or in installments, as the Committee shall
determine. In the event that any such issuance or payment shall not be made to the Eligible
Person at the time an Incentive Award is granted, the Committee may grant Dividend
Equivalents in respect of the Award, or may provide that, until such shares are

9

 

issued or money is paid or until the Award is forfeited, and subject to such terms and
conditions as the Committee may impose, the Award shall earn amounts equivalent to interest
or another investment return specified by the Committee, which amounts shall be paid by
March 15 following the calendar year in which earned, and which amounts may be paid either
in money or shares of Common Stock, all as the Committee may provide.

     (iii) Terms of Incentive Awards; Stockholder Rights. Incentive Awards shall be
subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided, however, that
upon the issuance of shares pursuant to any such Award, the recipient shall, with respect to
such shares, be and become a stockholder of the Company fully entitled to receive dividends
at the time such dividends are paid, to vote and to exercise all other rights of a
stockholder except to the extent otherwise provided in the Award.

     (b) Performance Share Awards and Performance Unit Awards.

     (i) In General. The Committee may grant any Eligible Person a Performance
Share Award and/or a Performance Unit Award. The Committee may provide that a specified
portion of the Performance Share Award or Performance Unit Award will be earned if the
specified performance goal applicable to the Award is partially attained.

     (ii) Performance Goals. Subject to Section 7(b), the specified performance
goal applicable to a Performance Share Award or Performance Unit Award may consist of any
one or more of the following: completion of a specified period of employment with or other
service that benefits the Company or a Subsidiary or an Allied Enterprise, achievement of
financial or operational goals or the occurrence of a specified circumstance or event. The
performance goal applicable to Performance Share Awards and Performance Unit Awards need not
be the same for each award or each Eligible Person to whom an award is granted. An Eligible
Person may be granted Performance Share Awards and Performance Unit Awards each year, and
the performance period applicable to any such Award may overlap with one or more years
included in the performance period applicable to any earlier-granted or later-granted Award.

     (iii) Effect of Death or Disability. Subject to Section 7(e), the Committee
may provide that if the Participant’s death or Disability occurs before the performance goal
applicable to a Performance Share Award or Performance Unit Award is attained, and
irrespective of whether the performance goal is thereafter attained, the Performance Share
Award or Performance Unit Award will be earned in whole or in part, as the Committee may
specify.

     (iv) Effect of Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee may provide
for a Participant’s Performance Share Award or Performance Unit Award to be forfeited in
whole or in part if such Participant’s employment or service terminates for any reason
before shares are issued or money is paid, as applicable, in full settlement of such
Performance Share Award or Performance Unit Award.

     (v) Non-Alienation. Except as otherwise provided in the relevant plan
agreement, Performance Share Awards and Performance Unit Awards may not be sold,

10

 

transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution or to a Beneficiary.

     (c) Dividend Equivalents.

     (i) In General. The Committee may grant any Eligible Person the right to be
paid an amount of money equal to the dividends paid from time to time on a specified number
of shares of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”) which may be based on the number of
shares that are subject to another Award, including without limitation an Option or Stock
Appreciation Rights, and whether or not such other Award is vested or exercisable.

     (ii) Timing of Payment. The Committee may provide for such amount of money to
be paid on each date on which such dividends are paid.

     (iii) Form of Payment. Dividend Equivalents may be paid in the form of money
or shares of Common Stock based on their Fair Market Value on the payment date, or in a
combination of money and such shares, as the Committee may determine.

     (iv) Impact Upon Maximum Shares Available Under Plan. Any shares of Common
Stock issued in payment of Dividend Equivalents shall be charged against the maximum
aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to Awards under Section 5(a).

7. Special Provisions Applicable to Performance-Based Compensation Awards.

     (a) Grant and Administration of Performance-Based Compensation Awards. Awards that
the Committee intends to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be granted and
administered in a manner that will permit such Awards to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.

     (b) Performance Measures. The performance measure or measures applicable to any Award
(other than an Appreciation-Only Award) that the Committee intends to qualify as Performance-Based
Compensation shall be based on targeted levels of, targeted levels of return on, or targeted levels
of growth for, any one or more of the following (or substantially similar) performance measures on
a consolidated Company, consolidated group, business unit or divisional level, as the Committee may
specify: earnings, earnings per share, capital adjusted pre-tax earnings (economic profit), net
income, operating income, performance profit (operating income minus an allocated charge
approximating the Company’s cost of capital, before or after tax), gross margin, revenue, working
capital, total assets, net assets, stockholders’ equity, and cash flow. The Committee shall select
the performance measure or measures applicable to any such Award and shall establish the levels of
performance at which such Award is to be earned in whole or in part. Any such performance measure
or combination of such performance measures may apply to the Participant’s Award in its entirety or
to any designated portion or portions of the Award, as the Committee may specify.

     (c) Payment of Performance-Based Compensation Awards. Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, but subject to Sections 7(e), 10 and 11, Awards to which

11

 

Section 7(b) applies shall: (i) “be paid solely on account of the attainment of one or more
preestablished, objective performance goals” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.162-27(e)(2)(i) or a successor thereto over a period of one (1) year or longer, which performance
goals shall be based upon one or more of the performance measures set forth in Section 7(b), and
(ii) be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may impose.

     (d) No Discretionary Increases in Payments Under Performance-Based Compensation
Awards. The terms of the performance goal applicable to any Award to which Section 7(b)
applies shall preclude discretion to increase the amount of compensation that would otherwise be
due upon attainment of the goal, except as may otherwise be permitted in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.162-27(e) or a successor thereto.

     (e) Effect of Death, Disability or Change in Control. An Award to which Section 7(b)
applies may be earned in whole or in part if the Participant’s death, Disability or a Change in
Control occurs before the performance goal applicable to the Award is attained but only if and to
the extent that: (i) the Committee so provides with respect to such Award, and (ii) the Award will
nevertheless qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, and (iii) payment is not made prior to
attainment of the performance goal.

8. Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 16(e), Options shall be subject to the
following provisions and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may provide in the
relevant plan agreement evidencing the Options:

     (a) Purchase Price Per Share. Subject to Section 11, the purchase price per share
shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock on the date an Option is granted (or in the case of any optionee who, at the time an
Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of his employer corporation or of its parent or
subsidiary corporation, not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of such Fair Market Value with
respect to Incentive Stock Options). Subject to the foregoing limitations, the purchase price per
share may, if the Committee so provides at the time of grant of an Option, increase (but not
decrease) in correlation with an index specified by the Committee.

     (b) Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price of shares subject to an Option may
be paid in whole or in part: (i) in money, (ii) by bank-certified, cashier’s or personal check
subject to collection, (iii) by electronic funds transfer, (iv) if so provided in the Option and
consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, other applicable laws and such terms and conditions as the
Committee may impose, by delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together
with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell immediately some or all of the
shares acquired by exercise of the option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of sale
proceeds (or, in lieu of or pending a sale, loan proceeds) sufficient to pay the purchase price, or
(v) if so provided in the Option and subject to such terms and conditions as may be specified in
the Option, in shares of Common Stock owned by the optionee, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, which are surrendered to the Company actually or by attestation. Shares of Common
Stock thus surrendered shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

12

 

     (c) Consideration; Exercise of Options. Options may be granted for such
consideration, including but not limited to money or other property, tangible or intangible, or
labor or services received or to be received by the Company, as the Committee may determine.
Property shall include an obligation of the Company unless prohibited by applicable law. Subject
to the provisions of this Section, each Option may be exercisable in full at the time of grant or
may become exercisable in one or more installments and at such time or times and subject to such
terms and conditions, as the Committee may determine. Without limiting the foregoing, an Option
may provide by its terms that it will become exercisable in whole or in part upon the completion of
specified periods of service or earlier achievement of one or more performance objectives specified
therein, or that it will become exercisable only if one or more performance goals specified therein
are achieved. The Committee may at any time accelerate the date on which an Option becomes
exercisable, and no additional consideration is required for such acceleration. Unless otherwise
provided in the relevant plan agreement, an Option may be exercised at any time in whole or in part
after it becomes exercisable and before its expiration or termination.

     (d) Limitations on Exercise of Options. Subject to Section 16(a), each Option shall
be exercisable during the life of the optionee only by the optionee, his or her guardian or legal
representative, and after death only by his or her Beneficiary. The Committee may prohibit or
otherwise limit the exercise of Incentive Stock Options by an optionee’s guardian or legal
representative if necessary to preserve the Options’ status as Incentive Stock Options under
applicable law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, (i) no Option shall be
exercisable after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which the Option was granted, and
(ii) no Incentive Stock Option which is granted to any optionee who, at the time such Option is
granted, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of his employer corporation or of its parent or subsidiary corporation, shall
be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date such Option is granted.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(d), the Committee may provide for an Option
to be exercisable after termination of the Eligible Person’s employment or other service.

     (e) Limitation on Fair Market Value of Shares Subject to an Incentive Stock Option.
An Option may be an Incentive Stock Option. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
time the Option is granted) of the stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be
exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any calendar year (under all plans, including
this Plan, of his employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed
one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) unless the Code is amended to allow a higher dollar amount.
To the extent that such Fair Market Value exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such
Options shall be treated as Non-Statutory Stock Options.

     (f) Issuance of Shares Upon Exercise of Option. Shares purchased pursuant to the
exercise of an Option shall be issued to the person exercising the Option as soon as practicable
after the Option is properly exercised. If so provided in the relevant plan agreement, the shares
issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option may be non-transferable and forfeitable to the
Company in designated circumstances and for specified periods of time.

13

 

     (g) No Discretion to Adjust Exercise Price. Except as provided in Sections 8(a) and
11, the Committee shall not have the authority to adjust the exercise price of outstanding Options.

     (h) Legal and Regulatory Approvals. No option shall be exercisable unless and until
the Company: (i) obtains the approval of all regulatory bodies whose approval the Committee may
deem necessary or desirable, and (ii) complies with all legal requirements determined to be
applicable by the Committee.

     (i) Notice of Exercise of Options. An Option shall be considered exercised if and
when the person exercising the Option provides notice of the exercise to the Designated
Representative of the Company on a properly completed and executed form approved for this purpose
by the Committee, accompanied by full payment of the Option exercise price in one or more of the
forms authorized in the plan agreement evidencing such Option and described in Section 8(b) for the
number of shares to be purchased. No Option may at any time be exercised with respect to a
fractional share unless the relevant plan agreement expressly provides otherwise.

9. Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

     (a) Types of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights that are granted
under the Plan may be free-standing or may be supplemental to an Option. Any Stock Appreciation
Rights that are supplemental to an Option shall entitle the holder to receive an amount determined
under Section 9(b) in addition to the proceeds of the Option if and when the holder purchases
shares under the related Option or at any subsequent time specified in the relevant plan agreement;
provided that no exercise of such supplemental Stock Appreciation Right shall reduce the number of
shares subject to the related Option or reduce the consideration to be paid for shares under such
Option.

     (b) Consideration; Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights
may be granted for such consideration, including but not limited to money or other property,
tangible or intangible, or labor or services received or to be received by the Company, as the
Committee may determine. Property shall include an obligation of the Company unless prohibited by
applicable law. Subject to the provisions of this Section, Stock Appreciation Rights may be
exercisable in full at the time of grant or may become exercisable in one or more installments.
Without limiting the foregoing, Stock Appreciation Rights may become exercisable in whole or in
part upon the completion of specified periods of service or earlier achievement of one or more
specified performance objectives or become exercisable only if one or more specified performance
goals are achieved. The Committee may accelerate the date on which Stock Appreciation Rights
become exercisable, and no additional consideration is required for such acceleration. Unless
otherwise provided in the Plan or the relevant plan agreement, Stock Appreciation Rights may be
exercised at any time in whole or in part after they become exercisable and before they expire or
terminate.

     (c) Limitations on Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. No free-standing Stock
Appreciation Rights that are granted as a supplement to the related Option shall be exercisable

14

 

after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which the Stock Appreciation Rights were
granted. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Committee may provide for Stock
Appreciation Rights to be exercisable after termination of the Eligible Person’s employment or
other service.

     (d) Payment Upon Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights; Exercise Price; Adjustment of
Payments Under Certain Circumstances. Upon exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights, the holder
shall be entitled to receive an amount of money, or a number of shares of Common Stock that have a
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Rights, or a combination of
money and shares valued at Fair Market Value on such date, as the Committee may determine, equal to
the amount by which the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise
exceeds the Exercise Price (as hereafter defined) of the Stock Appreciation Rights, multiplied by
the number of Stock Appreciation Rights exercised; provided that in no event shall a fractional
share be issued unless the relevant plan agreement expressly provides otherwise. In the case of
Stock Appreciation Rights that are granted as a supplement to the related Option, and in the case
of free-standing Stock Appreciation Rights, the Exercise Price shall be the Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Rights were granted, unless the Committee
specified a higher Exercise Price when the Stock Appreciation Rights were granted.

     (e) Effect of Stock Appreciation Rights on Share Limitations. Subject to Section
5(e), the limitations set forth in Section 5(a) shall be charged only for the number of shares
which are actually issued in settlement of Stock Appreciation Rights.

     (f) Limitations on Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to Section 16(a),
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable during the life of the Participant only by him or
his guardian or legal representative, and after death only by his or her Beneficiary. A Stock
Appreciation Right shall be considered exercised if and when the person exercising the Stock
Appreciation Right provides notice of the exercise to the Designated Representative on a properly
completed and executed form approved for this purpose by the Committee, accompanied by full payment
of any consideration in one or more of the forms authorized in the relevant plan agreement and
described in Section 8(b) for the number of Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised.

     (g) No Discretion to Adjust Exercise Price. The Committee shall not have authority to
adjust the exercise price of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights, except as permitted by Section
11.

10. Changes in Control, Termination of Service, Death and Disability.

     (a) Acceleration of Rights Upon Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan to the contrary, unless the relevant plan agreement provides otherwise: (i) any Award
which is outstanding but not yet fully exercisable, vested or earned at the time of a Change in
Control shall become fully exercisable, vested or earned at that time, and (ii) any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right which is outstanding at the time of a Change in Control shall remain exercisable
for the full balance of its ten (10) year (or shorter) term, irrespective of any provision that
would otherwise cause such Option or Stock Appreciation Right to terminate sooner.

15

 

     (b) Discretionary Actions By Committee. Subject to Section 10(a), and without
limitation of the Committee’s authority under Section 13, the Committee may:

     (i) authorize the holder of an Option or Stock Appreciation Rights to exercise the
Option or Stock Appreciation Rights following the termination of the Participant’s
employment or service or following the Participant’s death or Disability, whether or not the
Option or Stock Appreciation Rights would otherwise be exercisable following such event,
provided that in no event may an Option or Stock Appreciation Rights be exercised after the
expiration of their term;

     (ii) grant Options and Stock Appreciation Rights which become exercisable only in the
event of a Change in Control;

     (iii) provide for Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised automatically and only for
money in the event of a Change in Control;

     (iv) authorize any Award to become non-forfeitable, fully-earned and payable following:
(A) the termination of the Participant’s employment or service, or (B) the Participant’s
death or Disability, whether or not the Award would otherwise become non-forfeitable, fully
earned and payable following such event;

     (v) grant Awards which become non-forfeitable and fully earned only in the event of a
Change in Control; and

     (vi) provide in advance or at the time of a Change in Control for money to be paid in
settlement of any Award in the event of a Change in Control.

11. Adjustment Provisions. In the event that any liquidation, recapitalization, reorganization,
redesignation or reclassification, split-up, reverse split, or consolidation of shares of Common
Stock shall be effected, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be, in connection with a
stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger or consolidation of the Company or a
sale by the Company of all or a part of its assets, exchanged for a different number or class of
shares or other securities or property of the Company or any other entity or person, or a spin-off
or a record date for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock or other property (other than normal cash dividends)
shall occur: (a) the maximum aggregate number and class of shares or other securities or property
that may be issued in accordance with Section 5(a) pursuant to: (i) Awards thereafter granted, and
(ii) Awards thereafter granted that are not Appreciation-Only Awards, (b) the maximum number and
class of shares or other securities or property with respect to which Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights, or Awards other than Appreciation-Only Awards and Dollar-Denominated Awards, may be granted
during any calendar year to any Employee or other Eligible Person pursuant to Section 5(a), (c) the
number and class of shares or other securities or property that may be issued or transferred under
outstanding Awards, (d) the purchase price to be paid per share under outstanding and future
Awards, and (e) the price to be paid per share by the Company or a Subsidiary for shares or other
securities or property issued pursuant to Awards which are subject to a right of the Company or a
Subsidiary to reacquire such shares or other securities or property, shall in each case be
equitably adjusted.

16

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing adjustments shall be made in compliance with: (i)
Sections 422 and 424 of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock Options; and (ii) Section 162(m)
of the Code with respect to Performance-Based Compensation Awards.

12. Effective Date and Duration of Plan. The Plan shall be effective on the date on which the
stockholders of the Company approve it at a duly held stockholders’ meeting. If so approved,
Awards may be granted within ten (10) years after the date of such approval by stockholders, but
not thereafter. In no event shall an Incentive Stock Option be granted under the Plan more than ten
(10) years from the earlier of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date the Plan is
approved by the stockholders of the Company.

13. Administration.

     (a) Plan Administrator. Unless otherwise specified by the Board, the Plan shall be
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. No person shall be appointed
to or shall serve as a member of such committee unless he or she is an “independent director” as
defined in applicable rules or listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and a “non-employee
director” as defined in SEC Rule 16b-3. Unless the Board determines otherwise, such committee
shall also be comprised solely of “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i)
of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3) or a successor thereto.

     (b) Authority and Governance of the Committee. The Committee may establish such
rules, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as it may deem necessary for the proper
administration of the Plan, and may amend or revoke any rule so established. The Committee shall,
subject to the provisions of the Plan, have sole and exclusive power and discretion to interpret,
administer, implement and construe the Plan and full authority to make all determinations and
decisions thereunder including, without limitation, the authority and discretion to: (i) determine
the persons who are Eligible Persons and select the Eligible Persons who are to participate in the
Plan, (ii) determine when Awards shall be granted, (iii) determine the number of shares and/or
amount of money to be made subject to each Award, (iv) determine the type of Award to grant, (v)
determine the terms and conditions of each Award, including the exercise price in the case of an
Option or Stock Appreciation Rights and whether specific Stock Appreciation Rights shall supplement
Option, (vi) make any adjustments pursuant to Section 11, (vii) determine whether a specific Award
is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, (viii) designate one or more persons or
agents to carry out any or all of its administrative duties hereunder including, but not limited
to, appointment of the Designated Representative (provided that none of the duties required to be
performed by the Committee under SEC Rule 16b-3 may be delegated to any other person or agent),
(ix) prescribe any legends to be affixed to certificates representing shares granted or issued
under the Plan, and (x) correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in
or between the Plan, a plan agreement and related documents. The Company shall furnish the
Committee with such clerical and other assistance as is necessary for the performance of the
Committee’s duties under this Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Committee shall have the authority to establish and administer performance goals applicable to
Awards, and the authority to certify that such performance goals are attained, within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(c)(4) or a successor thereto. The Committee’s
interpretation of the Plan, any plan agreement,

17

 

related documents, its administration of the Plan, and all action taken by the Committee,
shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company, its stockholders, Subsidiaries, Allied
Enterprises, all Participants and Eligible Persons, and upon their respective Beneficiaries,
successors and assigns, and upon all other persons claiming under or through any of them.

     (c) Limitation of Liability. Members of the Board of Directors, members of the
Committee and Company employees who are their designees acting under this Plan shall be fully
protected in relying in good faith upon the advice of counsel and shall incur no liability except
for gross or willful misconduct in the performance of their duties hereunder.

     (d) Administrative Plan Years. The Plan shall be administered and operated on the
basis of the “Plan Year.” The “Plan Year” is the Company’s annual accounting period, which is
presently the twelve (12) month period ending on May 31. In the event that the Company changes its
annual accounting period, the Plan Year shall automatically change and the Committee may make such
adjustments to the operation of the Plan as appropriate to reflect any short Plan Years.

14. Satisfaction of Minimum Withholding Tax Liabilities.

     (a) In General. The Committee shall cause the Company to withhold any taxes which it
determines it is required by law or required by the terms of this Plan to withhold in connection
with any distributions incident to this Plan.

     (i) Cash Distributions. The Committee shall cause the Company to require any
withholding tax obligation arising in connection with a cash distribution (or the cash
portion of a distribution), up to the minimum required federal, state and local withholding
taxes, including payroll taxes, to be satisfied in whole or in part, with or without the
consent of the Participant or Beneficiary.

     (ii) Share Distributions. The Committee shall cause the Company to withhold
from any distribution of shares (including the portion of a distribution consisting of
shares) under this Plan an amount equal to the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s minimum tax
liability arising from such distribution. The withholding amount shall be obtained pursuant
to Section 14(b). The Participant or Beneficiary shall provide the Committee with such
Stock Powers and additional information or documentation as may be necessary for the
Committee to discharge its obligations under this Section.

     (b) Withholding from Share Distributions. With respect to a distribution of shares
pursuant to the Plan, the Committee shall cause the Company to sell the fewest number of such
shares for the proceeds of such sale to equal (or exceed by not more than that actual sale price of
a single share) the Participant’s Minimum Withholding Tax Liability resulting from such
distribution. The Committee shall withhold the proceeds of such sale for purposes of satisfying
the Participant’s Minimum Withholding Tax Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 14 to the contrary, the Committee shall have no obligation to withhold amounts from
distributions of shares pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options except as may otherwise
be required by law.

18

 

     (c) Delivery of Withholding Proceeds. The Committee shall cause the Company to
deliver withholding proceeds to the Internal Revenue Service and/or other taxing authority in
satisfaction of a Participant’s tax liability arising from a distribution.

     (d) Minimum Withholding Tax Liability. For purposes of this Section 14, the term
“Minimum Withholding Tax Liability” is the product of: (i) the aggregate minimum applicable
federal and applicable state and local income withholding tax rate on the date of a distribution
pursuant to the Plan; and (ii) the Fair Market Value of shares distributable to the Participant
determined as of the date of distribution.

15. Section 409A. Unless a plan agreement approved by the Committee provides otherwise, all Awards
granted under this Plan are intended to meet the requirements for exclusion from coverage under
Code Section 409A, and all Awards shall be construed and administered accordingly.

16. General Provisions.

     (a) Non-Transferability of Awards. No Award shall be transferable by a Participant
other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a Beneficiary in accordance with
the Plan’s terms. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may
permit a Participant to transfer any Award, other than an Incentive Stock Option, during his
lifetime to such other persons and such entities and on such terms and subject to such conditions
as the Committee may provide in the relevant plan agreement.

     (b) No Right To Continued Employment. Nothing in this Plan or any plan agreement
shall confer upon any person any right to continue in the employment of the Company, a Subsidiary
or an Allied Enterprise, or affect the right of the Company, a Subsidiary or any Allied Enterprise
to terminate the employment of any person at any time with or without cause.

     (c) Satisfaction of Legal Requirements. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued or
transferred pursuant to an Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance
or transfer of such shares have, in the opinion of the Committee, been satisfied. Any such
issuance or transfer shall be contingent upon the person acquiring the shares giving the Company
any assurances the Committee may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all
applicable legal requirements.

     (d) Limitation on Rights Relating to Common Stock Subject to Awards. No person
(individually or as a member of a group) and no Beneficiary or other person claiming under or
through him or her, shall have any right, title or interest in or to any shares of Common Stock
other than such shares as have been issued to him or her. The Committee may provide for the
transfer of shares of Common Stock to a trust (which may but need not be a grantor trust), escrow
arrangement or other legal entity for the purpose of satisfying the Company’s obligations under
this Plan. Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, such shares shall be considered
authorized and issued shares with full dividend and voting rights.

     (e) Compliance With Foreign Laws Governing Stock Incentives. If the laws of a foreign
country in which the Company, a Subsidiary or any Allied Enterprise has Eligible Persons prescribe
certain requirements for stock incentives to qualify for advantageous tax

19

 

treatment under the laws of that country, the Board of Directors may restate this Plan for the
purpose of qualifying the restated plan and stock incentives granted thereunder under such laws or
otherwise administer this Plan in compliance with such laws; provided, however, that: (i) the
terms and conditions of a stock incentive granted under such restated plan may not be more
favorable to the recipient than would be permitted if such stock incentive had been granted under
the Plan as herein set forth; (ii) all shares allocated to or utilized for the purposes of such
restated plan shall be subject to the limitations of Section 5; (iii) the provisions of the
restated plan cannot increase the Board’s discretion to amend or terminate such restated plan
beyond that provided under this Plan; and (iv) no such restatement may cause any Award under the
Plan to violate Section 409A.

     (f) No Effect on Other Plans. Nothing in this Plan is intended to be a substitute
for, or shall preclude or limit the establishment or continuation of, any other plan, practice or
arrangement for the payment of compensation or fringe benefits to Eligible Persons. An Eligible
Person may be granted an Award whether or not he is eligible to receive similar or dissimilar
incentive compensation under any other plan, practice or arrangement.

     (g) Preservation of Capital; Contractual Obligations. The Company’s obligation to
issue shares of Common Stock or to pay money in respect of any Award shall be subject to the
condition that such issuance or payment would not impair the Company’s capital or constitute a
