1.Preferred Stock
1.1     The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the board of directors as shares of one or more series.  Subject to the provisions hereof and the limitations prescribed by law, the board of directors is expressly authorized, prior to issuance, by adopting resolutions providing for the issuance of, or providing for a change in the number of, shares of any particular series and, if and to the extent from time to time required by law, by filing a certificate pursuant to the General Corporation Law of Delaware (or other law hereafter in effect relating to the same or substantially similar subject matter), to establish or change the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting powers and the designations and relative powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications and limitations or restrictions thereof relating to the shares of each such series.  The authority of the board of directors with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:
(a)    the distinctive serial designation of such series and the number of shares constituting such series, which number may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of then outstanding shares thereof) from time to time by like action of the board of directors;
(b)    the rate and times at which, and the terms and conditions on which, dividends, if any, on Preferred Stock of such series shall be paid, the extent of the preference or relation, if any, of such dividends to the dividends payable on any other class or classes, or series of the same or other classes of stock, whether such dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative, and, if so, from which date or dates;
(c)    whether the shares of such series shall be redeemable and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or dates upon and after which such shares shall be redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates;
(d)    the obligation, if any, of the corporation to retire shares of such series, including the price or prices which the corporation shall be obligated to pay therefor, and the terms of the sinking fund or redemption or purchase account, if any, to be provided for the shares of such series;

2

(e)    whether shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of stock of any other class or classes and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange, including the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the terms of adjustment, if any;
(f)    whether the shares of such series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights (which voting rights may, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, include the right, voting as a series or by itself or together with other series of Preferred Stock as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation or to have one or more votes per share on any or all matters as to which a stockholder vote is required or permitted);
(g)    the rights of the shares of such series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, or in the event of a merger, distribution or sale of assets; and
(h)    any other relative rights, powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof relating to such series.
The shares of Preferred Stock of any one series shall be identical with each other in all respects except as to the date from and after which dividends thereon shall cumulate, if cumulative.
The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased by the affirmative vote of the holders of the percentage of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, considered for this purpose as one class and without the separate vote of holders of Preferred Stock as a class, required by paragraph FIFTEENTH for an amendment to this paragraph FOURTH.
The relative powers, preferences and rights of each series of Preferred Stock in relation to the powers, preferences and rights of each other series of Preferred Stock shall, in each case, be as fixed from time to time by the board of directors in the resolution or resolutions adopted pursuant to authority granted under this paragraph FOURTH, and the consent, by class or series vote or otherwise, of the holders of such of the series of Preferred Stock as are from time to time outstanding shall not be required for the issuance by the board of directors of any other series of Preferred Stock whether or not the powers, preferences and rights of such other series shall be fixed by the board of directors as senior to, or on a parity with, the powers, preferences and rights of such outstanding series, or any of them; provided, however, that the board of directors may provide in the resolution or resolutions as to any series of Preferred Stock adopted pursuant to this paragraph FOURTH that the consent of the holders of a majority (or such greater proportion as shall be therein fixed) of the outstanding shares of such series voting thereon shall be required for the issuance of any or all other series of Preferred Stock.
Subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, shares of any series of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time as the board of directors of the corporation shall determine and on such terms and for such consideration as shall be fixed by the board of directors.

Shares of Common Stock may be issued from time to time as the board of directors of the corporation shall determine and on such terms and for such consideration as shall be fixed by the board of directors.

FIFTH.    [INTENTIONALLY OMMITTED] 
SIXTH.    (a)    The property, business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and controlled by the board of directors.  The number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the bylaws.  
(b)    A majority of the whole board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and, except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws, the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is then present 

4

shall be the act of the board of directors.  As used in this Certificate of Incorporation, the term "whole board of directors" is hereby exclusively defined to mean the total number of directors which the corporation would have if there were no vacancies.
(c)    The members of the board of directors other than those who may be elected by the holders of any Preferred Stock, or series thereof, shall be divided into three classes (to be designated as class I, class II and class III), as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the whole board of directors permits, with the terms of office of one class expiring each year. Class I directors shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation in 1987 and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified or until their respective earlier resignation or removal, class II directors shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation in 1988 and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified or until their respective earlier resignation or removal, and class III directors shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation in 1989 and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified or until their respective earlier resignation or removal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders.  Subject to the foregoing, at each annual meeting of stockholders the successors to the class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting and until their respective successors shall be duly elected and qualified or until their respective earlier resignation or removal.
(d)    Except for directorships created pursuant to paragraph FOURTH hereof relating to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, and except for vacancies in such directorships, any vacancies in the board of directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the board of directors, acting by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.  No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation), any director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this paragraph SIXTH, section (e), each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to paragraph FOURTH of this Certificate of Incorporation).  For the purposes of this paragraph SIXTH, section (e):  (i) the term "Total Voting Power" shall mean the aggregate of all votes of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock; and (ii) the term "Voting Stock" shall mean the shares of all classes of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on removal 

5

of any director or the entire board of directors in the manner provided in this paragraph SIXTH, section (e) (except that if the next succeeding sentence is operative, then the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall not be considered "Voting Stock" for purposes of this paragraph SIXTH, section (e)).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the provisions of this paragraph SIXTH shall not apply with respect to the director or directors elected by such holders of Preferred Stock.
(f)    As used in this Certificate of Incorporation, the term "for cause" is hereby exclusively defined and limited to mean conviction of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction where such conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal, or an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of liability for negligence, or misconduct, in the performance of the director's duty to the corporation in a matter of substantial importance to the corporation, where such adjudication is no longer subject to direct appeal.
(g)    There shall be no qualifications for election as directors of the corporation, except that no person shall be eligible to stand for election as a director if he has been convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction where such conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal.
(h)    Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the board of directors or a proxy committee appointed by the board of directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally. However, any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such stockholder's intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the secretary of the corporation not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders, one hundred twenty (120) days in advance of the date of such meeting (as set forth in the corporation's bylaws), and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the seventh day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders.  Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of such stockholder; (d) the class and number of shares beneficially owned (as defined in paragraph NINTH of this Certificate of Incorporation) by such nominating stockholder and each nominee proposed by such stockholder; (e) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the nominating stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholder; (f) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would have been required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to Regulation 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-1 et seq.) as then in effect under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the board of directors; and (g) the consent of each 

6

nominee to serve as a director of the corporation if so elected.  The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.
(i)    Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this paragraph SIXTH, the term of office and voting power of each director of the corporation shall not be greater than nor less than that of any other director or class of directors of the corporation.
SEVENTH.    Elections of directors need not be by ballot unless the bylaws of the corporation shall so provide.
EIGHTH.    The original bylaws of the corporation shall be adopted in any manner provided by law.  In furtherance, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by statute, the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, adopt, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the corporation.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, the stockholders of the corporation shall have the power to make, adopt, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the corporation only upon the affirmative vote of eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this paragraph EIGHTH, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to paragraph FOURTH of this Certificate of Incorporation).  For purposes of this paragraph EIGHTH:  (i) the term "Total Voting Power" shall mean the aggregate of all votes of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock; and (ii) the term "Voting Stock" shall mean the shares of all classes of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on making, adopting, altering, amending or repealing the bylaws of the corporation.
NINTH.    (a)    The provisions of this paragraph NINTH shall be applicable to certain Business Combinations (as hereinafter defined) and shall supersede any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the corporation or of law inconsistent therewith.
(b)    In addition to any affirmative vote required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, any requirement that Business Combinations be approved by the holders of a specified percentage of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class) and except as otherwise expressly provided in section (c) of this paragraph NINTH, any Business Combination shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this paragraph NINTH, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to paragraph FOURTH of this Certificate of Incorporation).  Such affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required by law, or that a lesser percentage may be specified by law or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or otherwise.
(c)    The provisions of section (b) of this paragraph NINTH shall not be applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative vote as is required by law and any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, 

7

if the Business Combination shall have been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined).

13Ex 10.2 - Performance-Based Compensation Plan as Amended

CERNER CORPORATION
PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
(As Amended and Restated March 5, 2014)

		
	1.
	Name. The name of the Plan is the Cerner Corporation Performance-Based Compensation Plan (the "Plan").

		
	2.
	Basic Function. The Plan establishes certain parameters pursuant to which Cerner Corporation (the "Company") may make performance Awards (as defined in Section 4) to key associates and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, based on the performance of the Company or certain subsidiaries or business units and/or the job performance of the individual associates in question.  The Plan also provides for the establishment of payment, exercise, settlement or other vesting-related terms for equity-based Awards that may be made under a Company-sponsored equity compensation plan.  Awards, if granted, may be paid, settled, exercised or become vested, as the case may be, on a monthly, quarterly, annual or any other applicable performance period established by the Company (an "Incentive Period").  Awards to certain executives are made pursuant to the "Executive Award Feature" (see Section 11).  All Awards will be calculated as soon as administratively practicable following the end of the applicable Incentive Period for which the Award is based or relates.  All Awards which are paid in cash will be paid out no later than March 15th of the earlier of the calendar year following achievement of the applicable performance goals or the calendar year following the year in which the Incentive Period relating to the Award ends.

		
	3.
	Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide a meaningful incentive to key associates and officers of the Company and to motivate them to assist the Company in achieving ambitious and attainable short-term and long-term goals.  Individual payments made under the Plan will vary, depending upon individual performance and, in some cases, business unit operational achievements.

The Plan is also intended to secure the full deductibility of compensation payable to the Company’s Covered Executives (as defined in Section 11 below), whose compensation is potentially subject to the tax deduction limitations of Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)" of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")).  With respect to Awards made to Covered Executives, all compensation payable hereunder or attributable to equity-based Awards, the terms of which are subject to the rules contained herein, is intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" as described in Code Section 162(m)(4)(C) and may be payable either in cash or, if permitted under a Company shareholder-approved equity plan, shares of the Company's common stock ("Shares").
		
	4.
	Applicability to Company Performance-Based Compensation Awards and Company Equity Plans.  The Plan serves as a Section 162(m) "platform plan" such that, to the maximum extent permitted by law and to the extent determined appropriate by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), the Plan 

1

may be utilized for all forms and types of compensatory arrangements, awards, programs or plans (equity or cash-compensation based) sponsored or maintained by the Company (the "Awards").  To the extent applicable and not inconsistent with the terms of any other Company-sponsored compensation plan(s), with the Board's and Company shareholders' approval of this Plan, the terms and conditions of this Plan shall supplement such other Company-sponsored compensation arrangements.
		
	5.
	Termination; Amendment.  The Plan shall continue to be in effect, unless and until terminated by the Compensation Committee.  Certain materials terms of the Plan are subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company at a meeting of the shareholders at which a quorum is present or represented once every five (5) years in accordance with Section 162(m).  The Plan may be further amended from time to time by the Compensation Committee provided that any amendment which, if effected without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, would result in the loss of an exemption from federal income tax deduction limitations under Section 162(m) for amounts payable thereunder but would not result in such loss if approved by the shareholders, shall become effective only upon approval thereof by the shareholders of the Company within the meaning of Section 162(m).

		
	6.
	Administration.  The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.   The Committee shall have full and complete authority to establish any rules and regulations it deems necessary or appropriate relating to the Plan, to interpret and construe the Plan and those rules and regulations, to correct defects and supply omissions, to determine who shall become Participants for any Plan Year, to determine the performance goals and other terms and conditions applicable to each Award (including the extent to which any payment shall be made under an Award in the event of a change in control of the Company), to certify the achievement of performance goals and approve all Awards, to make all factual and other determinations arising under the Plan, and to take all other actions the Committee deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan.  In suitable circumstances, the Compensation Committee may evaluate and use the Company's management's input as well as input and other relevant information from any outside parties it deems appropriate. 

		
	7.
	Participation.  Key associates and officers eligible for participation in the Plan will be determined by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis.   Executive officers eligible to receive Awards under the Executive Award Feature of the Plan will be identified each year by the Compensation Committee as described in Section 11 below.

		
	8.
	General Feature; Determination of Annual Targets.  The Compensation Committee and Company management will determine the measure or measures of financial performance and/or the target levels of operational performance ("Performance Measures"), the attainment of which in any Incentive Period will result in the payment, exercise, settlement or vesting of Awards to all eligible participants except for those executives covered by the Executive Award Feature.  Establishment of Performance Measures may be made, and under appropriate circumstances may subsequently be modified, either by the Compensation Committee or Company management at any time during an Incentive Period.  Different Performance Measures may be established for each participant.  During an Incentive Period, the Compensation 

2

Committee or Company management will monitor corporate performance throughout such period and may elect at any time before the end thereof to adjust the established Performance Measures as appropriate, for example, to take into account unusual or unanticipated corporate or industry-wide developments.  Final determinations of the amounts to be paid to a participant under the general feature of the Plan may also be adjusted upward or downward depending upon subjective evaluations by an associate's executive or manager.  In no event will the aggregate amount paid under the general feature of the Plan for all eligible participants be adjusted below 95% of the sum of the amounts calculated for all eligible participants as of the last day of the Incentive Period with reference to the Annual Targets as calculated based upon actual results through the end of the Incentive Period ("Minimum Payout Amount").  In the event that downward adjustments are made that bring the aggregate amounts to be paid to eligible participants below the Minimum Payout Amount, an upward adjustment will be made in the aggregate amount paid to other eligible participants (such upward adjustment allocated among one or more other eligible participants as determined by the Compensation Committee or Company), such that the total amount paid to eligible participants as a group is not less than the Minimum Payout Amount. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, in no circumstances will any upward adjustment being made pursuant to this provision  result in an increase in the amount of compensation to any eligible participant who is a "covered employee" of the Company as defined in Code Section 162(m)(3).
		
	9.
	Performance Measures.  Performance Measures for any Incentive Period may include but are not limited to one or more of the Executive Targets set forth in Section 11.   Performance Measures may also include individual factors including but not limited to associate productivity, associate retention, and individual milestone achievement. Target performance may be expressed as absolute or average dollar amounts, percentages, changes in dollar amounts or changes in percentages, and may be considered on an institution-alone basis or measured against specified peer groups or companies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Performance Measures applicable to executive officers covered under the Executive Award Feature and the maximum amount payable, or maximum number of Company Shares subjected to Awards, in any Incentive Period shall be as set forth in the Executive Award Feature of the Plan (see Section 11).

		
	10.
	Individual Factors.  The Compensation Committee or Company management, in exercising discretion under the Plan on determinations of Awards payable to individuals, may consider particular individual goals as well as subjective factors, including any unique contributions.

		
	11.
	Executive Award Feature.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Awards granted under the Plan to those individuals identified by the Compensation Committee as Section 16 “insiders” of the Company, within the meaning of Security Exchange Commission Regulations (the "Covered Executives"), for purposes of this Plan, shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 11 while such associate is a Covered Executive.

		
	(i)
	On or before the ninetieth (90th) day of any Incentive Period of a year or longer, or on or before the date which is no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of days in any Incentive Period that is shorter than a calendar year, the Compensation Committee will: (a) identify those individuals who it reasonably believes will be Covered 

3

Executives for the Incentive Period for which the payment, vesting or settlement of an Award will cause the inclusion of taxable income by the Covered Executive, (b) establish in writing the Earnings Per Share Target (as defined below) for such Incentive Period, (c) establish in writing the Company Operating Margin Target (as defined below) for such Incentive Period, (d) establish in writing the Agreement Margin Targets (as defined below) for such Incentive Period, and (e) establish in writing any other targets for the Covered Executives as specifically set forth below and as determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the Compensation Committee minutes (“Other Targets”) (the Earnings Per Share Target, the Company Operating Margin Target, the Agreement Margin Target and all Other Targets to be referred to collectively as the "Executive Targets").  The Compensation Committee may elect to establish any combination of the above Executive Targets for a given Incentive Period provided that any established Executive Target(s) be established within the applicable time period set forth above.  Due to the Compensation Committee's belief that the disclosure of the Executive Targets would adversely affect the Company, the Compensation Committee, the Covered Executives and all other directors, officers and associates who become aware of such targets shall and will treat such Executive Targets for any Incentive Period as confidential.  Executive Targets based on recognized accounting principles shall be determined and deemed satisfied by using the same accounting principles in effect and relied upon when such Executive Target was established.
		
	(ii)
	The Earnings Per Share Target shall be expressed as a specific target earnings per Share on a fully diluted basis, before the after-tax effect of any extraordinary items, the cumulative effect of accounting changes, or other nonrecurring items of income or expense including restructuring charges.

		
	(iii)
	The Company Operating Margin Target shall be expressed as a target percentage reflecting the leverage of the Company's revenue relative to the expense associated with that revenue.

		
	(iv)
	The Agreement Margin Targets shall be expressed as a dollar amount of booking margins on specified types of sales, adjusted for the costs associated with delivery of the solutions.

		
	(v)
	The Other Targets shall be determined based solely on the following list of business criteria for the Company on a segregated or consolidated basis, or for one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries, segments, divisions or business units, as selected by the Compensation Committee:

		
	(a)
	Total shareholder return;

		
	(b)
	Stock price increase (including attainment of a specified per-Share price during the Incentive Period; growth measures and total shareholder return or attainment by the Shares if a specified price for a period of time);

		
	(c)
	Return on equity;

		
	(d)
	Return on capital;

		
	(e)
	Cash flow, including collection of cash, operating cash flows, free cash flow, discounted cash flow return on investment, and cash flow in excess of cost of capital;

4

		
	(f)
	Earnings measures (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis), including or excluding one or more of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization or similar financial accounting measurements;

		
	(g)
	Operating profit/margin (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis);

		
	(h)
	Operating income (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis);

		
	(i)
	Net earnings (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis);

		
	(j)
	Net income or loss (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis);

		
	(k)
	Ratio of debt to debt plus equity or other debt measurements or ratings;

		
	(l)
	Strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue, market share, market penetration, business bookings, revenue or agreement margin, geographic business expansion goals, objectively identified project milestones, production volume levels, cost targets, client/associate satisfaction, associate retention and goals relating to acquisition or divestitures;

		
	(m)
	Achievement of business or operational goals such as market share and/or business development

		
	(n)
	Economic value added;

		
	(o)
	Revenue levels;

		
	(p)
	Productivity measures, including operating and maintenance cost management and associate productivity, and productivity increases;

		
	(q)
	Price to earnings ratio;

		
	(r)
	Expense rations, including reductions in expense levels, determined on a Company-wide basis or with respect to any one or more business units; and/or;

		
	(s)
	Total expenditures.

Any applicable Executive Target may be applied on a pre- or post-tax basis; and provided further that the Compensation Committee may, when the applicable performance goals are established, provide that the formula for such goals may include or exclude items to measure specific objectives, such as losses from discontinued operations, extraordinary gains or losses, the cumulative effect of accounting changes, acquisitions or divestitures, foreign exchange impacts, and any unusual, nonrecurring gain or loss.  As established by the Compensation Committee, the Executive Targets may include, without limitation, GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to the foregoing performance goals, the performance goals shall also include any performance goals which are set forth in a Company bonus or incentive plan, if any, which has been approved by the Company's shareholders, which are incorporated herein by reference.  Such performance goals shall be set by the Compensation Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Code Section 162(m).
		
	(vi)
	Prior to any payment, vesting or settlement of an Award to any Covered Executive of any amount accrued under this Section 11, the Compensation Committee (or its delegated subcommittee) shall confirm in writing that an Executive Target has been satisfied and authorize the payment; this can be satisfied by confirmation in the Compensation Committee minutes reflecting such approval was granted by the Compensation Committee or the subcommittee prior to payment.  The Compensation Committee shall have no discretion to increase the amount of any Covered Executive's Award, but may reduce the 

5

amount of, or totally eliminate, such Award, if it determines, in its absolute and sole discretion, that such a reduction or elimination is appropriate in order to reflect the Covered Executive's performance or unanticipated factors.
		
	(vii)
	Covered Executive Individual Limitations.

		
	(a)
	Subject to adjustment as provided below, with respect to any equity-based Award that could be payable in Shares (e.g., stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, performance-based restricted stock or performance-based restricted stock units) or any equity-based Award that could be payable in cash but in an amount determined based solely on the then fair market value of the Shares underlying such Award (e.g., performance-based restricted stock units or cash-settled stock appreciation rights) (collectively, "Stock Awards"), in no event may any one participant be granted Stock Awards subject to this Plan in any single calendar year covering or relating to the exercise of more than 2,000,000 Shares (which such number takes into account the 2-for-1 stock splits effective as of June 24, 2011 and June 28, 2013); provided, however, that to the extent a Company shareholder-approved equity plan contains a lower limitation, the lower limitation in that plan shall control.  If any change is made in the Shares without the receipt of consideration by the Company (e.g., through stock dividend, stock split etc.), the above maximum Share limitation shall be appropriately and automatically adjusted to reflect such change.

		
	(b)
	With respect to any cash-based Awards, if at the end of an Incentive Period any of the Executive Targets established by the Compensation Committee have been met, the maximum amount payable to the Covered Executives in any calendar year shall be as follows: (1) for the Chief Executive Officer, 200% of the Chief Executive Officer's base salary at the time the Executive Targets are established, and (2) for all other executive officers, 175% of such individual's base salary at the time the Executive Targets are established; provided, however, for purposes of these limitations in no event will a Covered Executive's base salary in excess of $3,000,000 be taken into account.  The Compensation Committee has discretion to reduce the amount of any Award, provided, however, under no circumstances may the Compensation Committee increase the amount of an Award beyond its maximum limit.  For quarterly or annual cash-based Awards, the amount of the Award reduction, if any, will depend upon a subjective cash-based Award reduction factor, formally known as an "Annual Performance Evaluation (APE) Factor," which will be determined at the Covered Executive's end-of-the-year evaluation.  This factor will range from 100% of the maximum Award amount for demonstrated distinguished performance to 0% if performance does not satisfy the required standard.

		
	(viii)
	At the election of the Compensation Committee, the Covered Executives’ individual performance plan agreements may provide for an Award recovery in the event the Company implements a Mandatory Restatement, which restatement relates to one or more fiscal years.  Such Award recovery would require that some or all of any amounts paid to a Covered 

6

Executive as an Award earned under this Plan that related to such restated periods would be recoverable and must be repaid within ninety days of such restatement(s).  The amount which must be repaid, if any, is the amount by which the compensation paid or received exceeds the amount that would have been paid or received based on the financial results reported in the restated financial statement.  For this purpose, a "Mandatory Restatement" is a restatement of the Company's audited financial statements included in any of its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which, in the good faith opinion of the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, is required to be implemented pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, but excluding: a) any restatement which is required with respect to a particular year as a consequence of a change in generally accepted accounting rules effective after the publication of the financial statements for such year; b) any restatement that in the good faith judgment of the Audit Committee of the Board is required due to a change in the manner in which the Company's auditors interpret the application of generally accepted accounting principles (as opposed to a change in a prior accounting conclusion due to a change in the facts upon which such conclusion was based); and, c) any restatement that is otherwise required due to events, facts or changes in law or practice that the Audit Committee concludes were beyond the control and responsibility of the Covered Executives and that occurred regardless of the Covered Executives’ diligent and thorough performance of their duties and responsibilities.
		
	12.
	Code Section 409A.  In the event that any provision of this Plan shall be determined to contravene Code section 409A (“Section 409A”), the regulations promulgated thereunder, regulatory interpretations or announcements with respect to Section 409A or applicable judicial decisions construing Section 409A, any such provision shall be void and have no effect.  Moreover, this Plan shall be interpreted at all times in such a manner that the terms and provisions of the Plan comply with Code Section 409A, the regulations promulgated thereunder, regulatory interpretations or announcements with respect to section 409A and applicable judicial decisions construing Section 409A.  In no event is the Company responsible for any tax or penalty owed by participant with respect to the payments under this Plan.
