Accepted by Grantee: 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.    Grant of Shares.  The Company hereby grants to Grantee the Shares indicated on the Restricted Stock Award Agreement grant notice (the “Grant Notice”), subject to the restrictions and the other terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, these Terms and Conditions and the Grant Notice (collectively, this “Agreement”), and any applicable recoupment or “clawback” policies of the Company, as in effect from time to time.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2.    Vesting of Shares.  As of the Date of Grant, the Shares shall be “Unvested Shares” and fully forfeitable.  The Unvested Shares shall become “Vested Shares” as of the earliest to occur of the following (the period prior to such vesting being referred to herein as the “Vesting Period”):
(a)    As of the Date of Vesting specified in the Grant Notice;
(b)    On the date of termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of Grantee’s death, Disability or Retirement; or
(c)    On the date of termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by the Company without Cause or by Grantee’s resignation for Good Reason, in either case within twelve (12) months after the occurrence of a Change in Control.
If Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason prior to the Unvested Shares becoming Vested Shares in accordance with this Section 2, Grantee shall forfeit all of Grantee’s right, title and interest in and to the Unvested Shares as of the date of Grantee’s termination of employment, and such Unvested Shares shall revert to the Company immediately following the event of forfeiture.
The definition of “Retirement” for purposes of this Agreement shall have the following meaning and not the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan:  The voluntary termination of employment with the approval of the Board at least six (6) months after the Date of Grant and on or after the date Grantee has attained age fifty-five (55) and Grantee’s age plus years of service equal or exceed seventy (70); provided that, Grantee has given the Board at least ten (10) days advance notice of such Retirement and Grantee has executed and not revoked a Release of Claims provided to Grantee by the Company upon receipt of Grantee’s notice.
3.    Share Transfer Restrictions.  “Non-transferable Shares” means those Shares that are subject to the transfer restrictions imposed under this Section 3 which restrictions have not expired or terminated.  Non-transferable Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered.
The restrictions imposed under this Section shall apply to all shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities issued with respect to Non-transferable Shares hereunder in connection with any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the common stock of the Company.
The transfer restrictions imposed under this Section 3 will expire as to all of the Shares indicated in the Grant Notice on the earliest to occur of the following (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the “Non-transferable Period”):

2

(a)    On the Date of Vesting specified in the Grant Notice;
(b)    On the date of termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of Grantee’s death or Disability; or
(c)    On the date of termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by the Company without Cause or by Grantee’s resignation for Good Reason, in either case within twelve (12) months after the occurrence of a Change in Control.
4.    Delivery of Shares.  The Shares will be registered in the name of Grantee as of the Date of Grant and will be held by the Company during the Non-transferable Period in certificated or uncertificated form.  If a certificate for Non-transferable Shares is issued during the Non-transferable Period, such certificate shall be registered in the name of Grantee and shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
“This certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) contained in a Restricted Stock Award Agreement between the registered owner of the shares represented hereby and Lowe’s Companies, Inc.  Release from such terms and conditions shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Agreement, copies of which are on file in the offices of Lowe’s Companies, Inc.”
Stock certificates for the Shares, without the above legend, shall be delivered to Grantee or Grantee’s designee upon request of Grantee after the expiration of the Non-transferable Period, but delivery may be postponed for such period as may be required for the Company with reasonable diligence to comply if deemed advisable by the Company, with registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, listing requirements under the rules of any stock exchange, and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.
5.    Voting and Dividend Rights.  Grantee, as beneficial owner of the Shares, shall have full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and after the Vesting Period and Non-transferable Period.  If Grantee forfeits any rights Grantee may have under this Agreement, Grantee shall no longer have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares or any interest therein and Grantee shall no longer be entitled to receive dividends on such Shares.  In the event that for any reason Grantee shall have received dividends upon such Shares after such forfeiture, Grantee shall repay to the Company an amount equal to such dividends.
6.    Competing Activity.  If Grantee engages in any Competing Activity during Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or within 2 years after the termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason, (i) Grantee shall forfeit all of Grantee’s right, title and interest in and to any Unvested Shares or Non-transferable Shares as of the time of the Grantee’s engaging in such Competing Activity and such Shares shall revert to the Company immediately following such event of forfeiture, and (ii) Grantee shall remit, upon demand by the Company, the “Repayment Amount” (as defined in the following sentence), with respect to any Shares that were granted to Grantee under the terms of this Agreement.

3

The “Repayment Amount” is the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of delivery to Grantee.  The Repayment Amount shall be payable in cash (which shall include a certified check or bank check), by the tender of shares of Common Stock or by a combination of cash and Common Stock; provided that, regardless of the Fair Market Value of such shares at the time of tender, the tender of the shares shall satisfy the obligation to pay the Repayment Amount for the same number of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company.
For purposes of this Agreement, Grantee will be deemed to be engaged in a “Competing Activity” if Grantee, acting in the same or similar capacity in which Grantee performed services for the Company or acting in a capacity which involves executive, managerial, financial or other significant leadership responsibilities, owns, manages, operates, controls, is employed by, or participates in as a 5% or greater shareholder, partner, member or joint venturer, in a Competing Enterprise, or engages in, as an independent contractor or otherwise, a Competing Enterprise for himself or on behalf of another person or entity.  A “Competing Enterprise” is any business engaged in any market which is a part of the Home Improvement Business as described below (i) with total annual sales or revenues of at least five hundred million dollars ($500 million USD) and (ii) with retail locations or distribution facilities in a US State or the District of Columbia or which engages in providing goods and/or services within the Home Improvement Business to customers in the United States through electronic means (internet, mobile application, etc.), including but not limited to the following entities:  The Home Depot, Inc.; Sears Holdings, Inc. or Transform Holdco LLC; Menard, Inc.; Amazon.com, Inc.; Ace Hardware Corp.; Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc.; Wayfair, Inc.; Walmart, Inc.; Best Buy Co., Inc., HD Supply Holding, Inc.; Floor & Décor Holdings, Inc.; and True Value Company. 
The Company and its affiliated entities comprise an omni-channel provider of home improvement products and supplies for maintenance, repair, remodeling, and decorating as well as appliances, installation and other services, supplies for the multi-family housing industry, and supplies for builders, contractors, and maintenance professionals (the “Home Improvement Business”).  The Company operates retail locations and support facilities and offers products and services to consumers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada through traditional retail locations, sales organizations, and on-line channels.  The Company’s Home Improvement Business requires a complex sourcing and supply network, multi-channel distribution and delivery systems, innovative information technology resources, and a robust infrastructure support organization.
Grantee recognizes and acknowledges that the Company has a legitimate business interest in maintaining its competitive position in a dynamic industry and that restricting Grantee for a reasonable period from performing work for, providing services to, or owning more than a 5% interest in an enterprise which engages in business activities which are in competition with the Company is reasonable and appropriate.  Grantee further acknowledges that the Company’s business would likely be damaged by Grantee’s engaging in competitive work activity during the non-competition period detailed above.  Grantee agrees that in Grantee’s position with the Company, Grantee was provided access to or helped develop business information proprietary to the Company and that Grantee would inevitably disclose or otherwise utilize such information if Grantee were to work for, provide services to, or own a substantial interest in a Competing Enterprise during the non-competition period.
Should Grantee wish to undertake a Competing Activity during Grantee’s employment or before the expiration of the above-referenced 2-year period, Grantee must request written permission from the Executive Vice President, Human Resources of the Company before undertaking such Competing Activity.  The Company may approve or not approve the Competing Activity at its sole discretion.  

4

Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall be interpreted as or deemed to constitute a waiver of, or diminish or be in lieu of, any other rights that the Company or a Subsidiary may possess as a result of Grantee’s misconduct or involvement with a business competing with the business of the Company or a Subsidiary.  This section does not apply to Grantee if Grantee works in the State of California at the end of Grantee’s employment with the Company.      
7.    No Solicitation of Employees.  During Grantee’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and until the date that is 2 years after date of termination for any reason, Grantee will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any person who was an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries during Grantee’s employment or during the 1 year immediately prior to Grantee’s date of termination (“Protected Employee”), to leave employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or assist in any way with the hiring of any Protected Employee by any future employer, person or other entity including but not limited to referral, identification for potential employment, recommendation, interview, or direct or indirect supervision.
8.    No Solicitation of Customers or Vendors.  During Grantee’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and until the date that is 2 years after date of termination for any reason, Grantee will not, directly or indirectly, solicit the Company’s customers or vendors who were customers or vendors during the 1 year immediately prior to Grantee’s date of termination to divert their business away from or otherwise interfere with the business relationships of the Company with its customers and/or vendors on Grantee’s behalf or on behalf of any other entity or person.  The foregoing restrictions shall only apply to those Company customers or vendors with whom Grantee had direct contact during the 1 year immediately prior to Grantee’s date of termination. 
9.    Injunctive Relief.  Grantee agrees that the provisions herein are important to and of material consideration to the Company and that a breach of these provisions will cause irreparable harm to the Company and the Company considers that monetary damages alone are an inadequate remedy to the Company for any such breach. Grantee further stipulates that, upon any breach by Grantee of the provisions herein the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against Grantee without the necessity to post a bond or, if such bond is nevertheless required, Grantee consents to setting such bond at the lowest amount permitted by law.  This section shall not be deemed to limit the legal and equitable remedies available to the Company or to limit the nature and extent of any claim by the Company for damages caused by Grantee for breach of this Agreement.
10.    No Right of Continued Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time, nor confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary.
11.    Payment of Taxes.
(a)    Upon issuance of the Shares hereunder, Grantee may make an election to be taxed upon such award under Section 83(b) of the Code.  To effect such election, Grantee may file an appropriate election with Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after award of the Shares and otherwise in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations.
(b)    At the end of the Vesting Period, the Company will automatically withhold a number of Shares having a fair market value equal to an amount up to the maximum statutory rate to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including Grantee’s FICA obligation), unless Grantee notifies the Company thirty (30) days prior to the expiration and 
5

termination of the Vesting Period that he or she will satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations in cash.
(c)    In the event Grantee chooses to satisfy Grantee’s tax withholding obligations in cash and complies with the above notification requirement, Grantee will, no later than the date as of which any amount related to the Shares first becomes includable in Grantee’s gross taxable income for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any federal, state and local taxes of any kind (including Grantee’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.
The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, and, where applicable, its Subsidiaries will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee.
12.    Amendment.  The Committee may amend or terminate this Agreement without the consent of Grantee; provided, however, that such amendment or termination shall not, without Grantee’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of this award determined as if it had been fully vested (i.e., as if all restrictions on the Shares hereunder had expired) on the date of such amendment or termination.
13.    Plan Controls.  The terms contained in the Plan, including without limitation the antidilution adjustment provisions, are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan.  In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative.
14.    Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.
15.    Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement are invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.
16.    Notice.  Notices and communications under this Agreement must be in writing and either personally delivered or sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  Notices to the Company must be addressed to:
Lowe’s Companies, Inc.
1000 Lowes Boulevard
Mooresville, NC  28117 United States of America
Attn:  Stock Plan Administration
or any other address designated by the Company in a written notice to Grantee. Notices to Grantee will be directed to the address of Grantee then currently on file with the Company, or at any other address given by Grantee in a written notice to the Company.
17.    Governing Law and Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina other than its choice of laws provisions to the extent that such provisions would require 
6

or permit the application of the laws of a state other than North Carolina.  Each of the Parties to this Agreement consents to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the Charlotte Division of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, or if federal jurisdiction is not available, the North Carolina Superior Court in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and specifically waives any right to attempt to deny or defeat personal jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina or the North Carolina Superior Court by motion or request for leave from any such court.  Each of the Parties further waives any right to seek change of venue from such Court due to inconvenient forum or other similar justification and will pay to the other Parties the costs associated with responding to or otherwise opposing any motion or request for such relief.

                                            from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base Capital Stock, and
                                            any decrease thereafter in such person’s ownership of securities, shall be disregarded

                                            an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such
                                            Employee’s brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned,
                                            directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed
                                            to be owned proportionately by or for its stockholders, partners or beneficiaries.

 

		(d)	Outstanding
                                            Stock. For purposes of Section 4(b) above, “outstanding stock”
                                            shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the grant but shall
                                            not include shares authorized for issuance under outstanding options held by the Employee
                                            or by any other person.

 

SECTION 5.         STOCK
SUBJECT TO PLAN.

 

		(a)	Basic
                                            Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or
                                            treasury Shares. The aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance as Awards under the
                                            Plan shall not exceed 53,953,475. The limitation of this Section 5(a) shall be
                                            subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 13. Any Shares issued in connection with Options
                                            and SARs shall be counted against this limitation as one Share for every one Share so issued.
                                            Any Shares issued in connection with Awards other than Options and SARs shall be counted
                                            against this limitation as 2.0 Shares for every one Share so issued. The number of Shares
                                            that are subject to Awards outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number
                                            of Shares which then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Corporation, during
                                            the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to
                                            satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Shares tendered or withheld in full or partial payment
                                            of the Exercise Price of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection
                                            with an Award, and Shares issued under an Award that are purchased by the Corporation on
                                            the open market, shall not be available for future issuance under the Plan.

		(b)	Award
                                            Limitation. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, no Participant may receive
                                            Awards under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to more than 800,000 Shares.

 

		(c)	Additional
                                            Shares. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in
                                            full, or, with respect to Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares,
                                            is forfeited to or repurchased by the Corporation due to failure to vest, the unpurchased
                                            Shares (or for Awards other than Options or SARs the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which
                                            were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless
                                            the Plan has terminated). With respect to SARs, when a stock settled SAR is exercised, all
                                            of the Shares subject to the SAR shall be counted against the number of Shares available
                                            for future grant or sale under the Plan, regardless of the number of Shares actually issued
                                            pursuant to such exercise. Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any
                                            Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution
                                            under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards
                                            of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares are repurchased by the
                                            Corporation or are forfeited to the Corporation, such Shares will become available for future
                                            grant under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than
                                            Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for
                                            issuance under the Plan.

 

SECTION 6.         RESTRICTED
SHARES.

 

		(a)	Restricted
                                            Share Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by
                                            a Restricted Share Agreement between the recipient and the Corporation. Such Restricted Shares
                                            shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms
                                            that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Share Agreements
                                            entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

 

		(b)	Payment
                                            for Awards. Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration
                                            as the Committee may determine, including cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory
                                            notes, past services and future services.

		(c)	Vesting.
                                            Each Award of Restricted Shares shall vest over a minimum period of three years of the Participant’s
                                            Service, subject to Section 19(c). Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments,
                                            upon satisfaction of such Service requirement and such other conditions specified in the
                                            Restricted Share Agreement. A Restricted Share Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting
                                            in the event of the Participant’s death, Total and Permanent Disability or retirement
                                            or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or
                                            thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested upon a Change
                                            in Control. Except as may be set forth in a Restricted Share Agreement, vesting of the Restricted
                                            Shares shall cease on the termination of the Participant’s Service.

 

		(d)	Voting
                                            and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have
                                            the same voting and other rights as the Corporation’s other stockholders; provided,
                                            however, that the holders of Restricted Shares shall not receive payment of any dividends
                                            on their Restricted Shares while such Restricted Shares are unvested. Payment of any such
                                            dividends shall be subject to the same vesting requirements and other conditions and restrictions
                                            as the Restricted Shares to which they relate. A Restricted Share Agreement may require that
                                            any such cash dividends be invested in additional Restricted Shares, which shall be subject
                                            to the same conditions and restrictions as the Restricted Shares to which the dividends relate.

 

		(e)	Restrictions
                                            on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such rights of repurchase,
                                            rights of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions
                                            shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Share Agreement and shall apply in addition
                                            to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.

 

SECTION 7.         TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

 

		(a)	Stock
                                            Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock
                                            Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Corporation. Such Option shall be subject to
                                            all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and
                                            conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate
                                            for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether
                                            the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered
                                            into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction
                                            in the Optionee’s other compensation.

 

		(b)	Number
                                            of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject
                                            to the Option (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 13).

		(c)	Exercise
                                            Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price
                                            of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
                                            grant, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b), and the Exercise Price of an NSO
                                            shall not be less 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Subject
                                            to the foregoing in this Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be
                                            determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in
                                            one of the forms described in Section 8.

 

		(d)	Withholding
                                            Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements
                                            as the Corporation may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign
                                            withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee
                                            shall also make such arrangements as the Corporation may require for the satisfaction of
                                            any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection
                                            with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.

 

		(e)	Exercisability
                                            and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment
                                            of the Option is to become exercisable, subject to Section 12(c) in the case of
                                            automatic Option grants to Outside Directors and to Section 19(c) for all other
                                            Option grants. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided,
                                            however, that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of
                                            grant (five years for Employees described in Section 4(b)). A Stock Option Agreement
                                            may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, Total
                                            and Permanent Disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior
                                            to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service. Options
                                            may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will
                                            not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this
                                            Section 7(e), the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment
                                            of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.

 

		(f)	Exercise
                                            of Options. Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee
                                            shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s
                                            Service with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of
                                            any executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or any person who has acquired
                                            such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions
                                            shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all
                                            Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for
                                            termination of Service.

 

		(g)	Effect
                                            of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option
                                            or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Shares
                                            subject to such Option upon a Change in Control.

		(h)	No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a permitted transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder of
the Corporation with respect to any Shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of the Shares underlying the Option upon
a valid exercise thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, no Optionee, or a permitted transferee of an Optionee, shall receive payment
of any dividends or dividend equivalents on the Shares underlying their Options while such Options are unvested.

 

		(i)	Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or
assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Corporation or another issuer)
in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price; provided,
however, that the Committee may not modify outstanding Options to lower the Exercise Price nor may the Committee assume or accept the
cancellation of outstanding Options in return for the grant of new Options or SARs with a lower Exercise Price, unless such action has
been approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the
consent of the Optionee, materially impair such Optionee’s rights or increase his or her obligations under such Option.

 

		(j)	Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture
conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions
shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to
all holders of Shares.

 

		(k)	Buyout Provisions. Except with respect to an Option whose Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject
to the Option, the Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously
granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon
such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish.

 

SECTION 8.         PAYMENT
FOR SHARES.

 

		(a)	General Rule. The entire Exercise Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money
of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through Section 8(g) below.

 

		(b)	Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering,
or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued
at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to
the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Corporation to recognize compensation expense
(or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

		(c)	Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered
to the Corporation or a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee
shall make a determination (at the time of the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the
consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b).

 

		(d)	Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery
(on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of
the sale proceeds to the Corporation in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

 

		(e)	Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on
a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan,
and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Corporation in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

 

		(f)	Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Share Agreement so provides, payment may be made
all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Corporation) a full-recourse promissory note.

 

		(g)	Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Share Agreement so provides, payment may
be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

 

		(h)	Limitations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Share Agreement
to the contrary, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

SECTION 9.         STOCK
APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

 

		(a)	SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Corporation.
Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the
Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be granted in consideration
of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation.

		(b)	Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 13.

 

		(c)	Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price, which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value
of a Share on the date of grant. A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula
while the SAR is outstanding.

 

		(d)	Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable,
subject to Section 19(c). The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability
in the event of the Optionee’s death, Total and Permanent Disability or retirement or other events. Except as may be set forth in
a SAR Agreement, vesting of the SAR shall cease on the termination of the Participant’s Service. SARs may be awarded in combination
with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may
be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under
the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.

 

		(e)	Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall
become fully exercisable as to all Shares subject to such SAR upon a Change in Control.

 

		(f)	Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her
death) shall receive from the Corporation (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee
shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be
equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.

 

		(g)	Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding
SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Corporation or by another issuer) in return for the grant
of new SARs for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different exercise price; provided, however, that the Committee
may not modify outstanding SARs to lower the Exercise Price nor may the Committee assume or accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs
in return for the grant of new SARs or Options with a lower Exercise Price, unless such action has been approved by the Corporation’s
stockholders. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the holder, materially impair his
or her rights or obligations under such SAR.

		(h)	Buyout Provisions. Except with respect to a SAR whose Exercise
Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the SAR, the Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment
in cash or cash equivalents a SAR previously granted, or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out a SAR previously granted,
in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish.

 

		(i)	No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a permitted
transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to any Shares covered by the SAR until
the date of the issuance of the Shares underlying the SAR upon a valid exercise thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, no Optionee,
or a permitted transferee of an Optionee, shall receive payment of any dividends or dividend equivalents on the Shares underlying their
SARs while such SARs are unvested.

 

SECTION 10.       RESTRICTED
STOCK UNITS.

 

		(a)	Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Corporation. Such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the
Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Unit
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Restricted Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in
the recipient’s other compensation.

 

		(b)	Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units, no cash consideration shall
be required of the Award recipients.

 

		(c)	Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units shall vest over a minimum period of three years of the Participant’s
Service, subject to Section 19(c). Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of such Service requirement
and such other conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. A Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated
vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Total and Permanent Disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may
determine, at the time of granting Restricted Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Stock Units shall become
vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Corporation. Except as may be set forth in a Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement, vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall cease on the termination of the Participant’s Service.

		(d)	Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights and no rights to receive payment
of any dividends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion,
carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends
paid on one Share while the Restricted Stock Unit is outstanding. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash,
in the form of Shares, or in a combination of both, and shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation,
any forfeiture conditions) as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate. A Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may require that any
dividend equivalents be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units, which shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions
as the Restricted Stock Units to which the dividend equivalents relate.

 

		(e)	Form and Time of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units may be made in the
form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Restricted
Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance
factors. Methods of converting Restricted Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market
Value of Shares over a series of trading days. A Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may provide that vested Restricted Stock Units may be
settled in a lump sum or in installments. A Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may provide that the distribution may occur or commence when
all vesting conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later
date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Restricted
Stock Units is settled, the number of such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 13.

 

		(f)	Death of Recipient. Any Restricted Stock Units that become payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to
the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan shall designate one or more
beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Corporation. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing
the prescribed form with the Corporation at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if
no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Restricted Stock Units that become payable after the recipient’s
death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate.

 

		(g)	Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of
the Corporation. Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Corporation, subject to the terms and conditions
of the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

SECTION 11.       PERFORMANCE
SHARES.

 

		(a)	Performance Shares and Performance Share Agreement. Each grant of Performance Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
Performance Share Agreement between the recipient and the Corporation. Such Performance Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms
of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Performance Share
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Performance Shares may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the
recipient’s other compensation.

 

		(b)	Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Performance Shares, no cash consideration shall be
required of the Award recipients.

 

		(c)	Terms of Performance Share Awards. The Committee shall determine the terms of Performance Share Awards, which may include subjecting
such Awards to the attainment of “Qualifying Performance Criteria” as described in Section 19(b) of the Plan. Each
Performance Share Agreement shall set forth the number of Shares subject to such Performance Share Award, the Qualifying Performance Criteria
and the performance period. Subject to Section 19(c), the Participant shall be required to perform Service for the entire performance
period (or if less, one year) in order to be eligible to receive payment under the Performance Share Award. Except as otherwise provided
in the Performance Share Agreement, the Performance Share Award shall terminate upon the termination of the Participant’s Service.
Prior to settlement, the Committee shall determine the extent to which Performance Shares have been earned. Performance periods may overlap
and the holders may participate simultaneously with respect to Performance Shares Awards that are subject to different performance periods
and different Qualifying Performance Criteria. The number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such Qualifying Performance
Criteria as may be determined by the Committee. A Performance Share Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant’s death, Total and Permanent Disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting
Performance Share Awards or thereafter, that all or part of the Performance Shares shall become vested upon a Change in Control.

 

		(d)	Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Performance Shares shall have no voting rights and no rights to receive payment
of any dividends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Performance Shares awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion,
carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends
paid on one Share while the Performance Share is outstanding. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the
form of Shares, or in a combination of both, and shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation,
any forfeiture conditions) as the Performance Shares to which they relate. A Performance Share Agreement may require that any dividend
equivalents be converted into additional Performance Shares, which shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Performance
Shares to which the dividend equivalents relate.

		(e)	Form and Time of Settlement of Performance Shares. Settlement of Performance Shares may be made in the form of (a) cash,
(b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Performance Share Agreements.
The actual number of Performance Shares eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award,
based on the Qualifying Performance Criteria. Methods of converting Performance Shares into cash may include (without limitation) a method
based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. A Performance Share Agreement may provide that Performance
Shares may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. A Performance Share Agreement may provide that the distribution may occur or commence
when all vesting conditions applicable to the Performance Shares have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later
date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Performance
Shares is settled, the number of such Performance Shares shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 13.

 

		(f)	Death of Recipient. Any Performance Share Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed
to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Performance Share Award under the Plan shall designate one
or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Corporation. A beneficiary designation may be changed by
filing the prescribed form with the Corporation at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated
or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Performance Share Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s
death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate.

 

		(g)	Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Performance Shares shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the
Corporation. Performance Shares represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Corporation, subject to the terms and conditions
of the applicable Performance Share Agreement.

SECTION 12.       AUTOMATIC
GRANTS TO OUTSIDE DIRECTORS

 

		(a)	Annual Grants. On the first business day following the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of the Corporation’s
stockholders beginning with the 2021 annual meeting, each Outside Director who will continue serving as a member of the Board of Directors
thereafter shall receive Awards having an aggregate grant date fair value of $500,000 or such lesser dollar amount as shall be designated
by the Board of Directors (the “Applicable Dollar Amount”), of which 60% shall be Nonstatutory Options and 40% shall be Restricted
Stock Units. The number of Shares subject to such Nonstatutory Options shall be determined by dividing 60% of the Applicable Dollar Amount
by the Black-Scholes value of one such Option, based on the average closing sale price for the Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market
(or such other United States stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Stock is then traded) over the 30 consecutive trading
days concluding with the last trading day prior to the grant date, rounded down to the nearest whole Share. The number of Shares subject
to such Restricted Stock Units shall be determined by dividing 40% of the Applicable Dollar Amount by such 30 trading day average price,
rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Each Outside Director who is not initially elected at a regular annual meeting of the Corporation’s
stockholders in 2021 or a subsequent year shall receive Awards within 10 business days of his or her election having an aggregate grant
date fair value of a pro rata portion of the Applicable Dollar Amount, such pro rata portion to be determined based on the number of full
calendar months remaining from the date of election until the next regular annual meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders divided
by 12. Such Outside Director’s Awards shall consist of 60% Nonstatutory Options and 40% Restricted Stock Units determined in a manner
similar to that used for the annual Awards to Outside Directors following the conclusion of the regular annual meeting of the Corporation’s
stockholders, except that the values of the Awards to such Outside Director shall be determined as of the grant date of such Awards.

 

		(b)	Vesting Conditions. Except as set forth in the next succeeding sentence and in the last sentence of this Subsection (b), each
Award granted under Subsection (a) of this Section 12 shall become vested and (in the case of Options) exercisable in full on
the first anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that each such Award shall become vested and exercisable in full immediately
prior to the next regular annual meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders following such date of grant in the event such meeting
occurs prior to such first anniversary date. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Subsection (b), each Award granted under
Subsection (a) to Outside Directors who were not initially elected at a regular annual meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders
shall become vested and exercisable in full immediately prior to the next regular annual meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders
following the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Award granted under Subsection (a) above that is outstanding shall
become vested and exercisable in full in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Corporation.

 

		(c)	Award Agreement. All grants to Outside Directors under this Section 12 shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement
or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, as applicable, between the Outside Director and the Corporation. Such Awards shall be subject to all
applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to other terms and conditions that are not inconsistent with the Plan and
that the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, as applicable.

		(d)	Additional Grants. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, the Board of Directors may from time to
time increase the amount of the annual grant of Awards under Section 12(a) to any Outside Director to the extent the Board of
Directors determines necessary to induce an Outside Director to become or remain an Outside Director or to reflect an increase in the
duties or responsibilities of the Outside Director, subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan otherwise applicable to grants of
Awards. Each such Award may become vested and exercisable on the same schedule as set forth in Section 12(b) or on a different
schedule, as the Board of Directors in each case shall determine.

 

SECTION 13.       ADJUSTMENT
OF SHARES; REORGANIZATIONS.

 

		(a)	Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration
of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of Shares, a combination
or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off
or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate and equitable adjustments in:

 

		(i)	The numerical limitations set forth in Sections 5(a) and (b);

 

		(ii)	The number of Shares covered by all outstanding Awards; and

 

		(iii)	The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR.

 

		(b)	Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, all outstanding Awards shall terminate immediately
prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation.

 

		(c)	Reorganizations. In the event the Corporation is party to a merger or other reorganization, subject to any vesting acceleration
provisions in an Award agreement, outstanding Awards shall be treated in the manner provided in the agreement of merger or reorganization
(including as the same may be amended). Such agreement shall not be required to treat all Awards or individual types of Awards similarly
in the merger or reorganization; provided, however, that such agreement shall provide for one of the following with respect
to all outstanding Awards (as applicable):

 

		(i)	The continuation of the outstanding Award by the Corporation, if the Corporation is a surviving corporation;

 

		(ii)	The assumption of the outstanding Award by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary;

 

		(iii)	The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own award for the outstanding Award;

		(iv)	Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Award, followed by the cancellation of such Award;

 

		(v)	The cancellation of an outstanding Option or SAR and a payment to the Optionee equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value
of the Shares subject to such Option or SAR (whether or not such Option or SARs is then exercisable or such Shares are then vested) as
of the closing date of such merger or reorganization over (ii) its aggregate Exercise Price. Such payment may be made in the form
of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving corporation or its parent with a Fair Market Value equal to the required amount.
Such payment may be made in installments and may be deferred until the date or dates when such Option or SAR would have become exercisable
or such Shares would have vested. Such payment may be subject to vesting based on the Optionee’s continuing Service, provided that
the vesting schedule shall not be less favorable to the Optionee than the schedule under which such Option or SAR would have become exercisable
or such Shares would have vested (including any vesting acceleration provisions). If the Exercise Price of the Shares subject to any Option
or SAR exceeds the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject thereto, then such Option or SAR may be cancelled without making a payment
to the Optionee with respect thereto. For purposes of this Subsection (v), the Fair Market Value of any security shall be determined without
regard to any vesting conditions that may apply to such security;

 

		(vi)	The cancellation of an outstanding Restricted Stock Unit and a payment to the Participant equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares
subject to such Restricted Stock Unit (whether or not such Restricted Stock Unit is then vested) as of the closing date of such merger
or other reorganization. Such payment may be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving corporation or
its parent with a Fair Market Value equal to the required amount. Such payment may be made in installments and may be deferred until the
date or dates when such Restricted Stock Unit would have vested. Such payment may be subject to vesting based on the Participant’s
continuing Service, provided that the vesting schedule shall not be less favorable to the Participant than the schedule under which such
Restricted Stock Unit would have vested (including any vesting acceleration provisions). For purposes of this Subsection (vi), the Fair
Market Value of any security shall be determined without regard to any vesting conditions that may apply to such security; or

		(vii)	The cancellation of an outstanding Performance Share Award and a payment to the Participant equal to the Fair Market Value of the
target Shares subject to such Performance Share Award (whether or not such Performance Share Award is then vested) as of the closing date
of such merger or reorganization. Such payment may be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving corporation
or its parent with a Fair Market Value equal to the required amount. Such payment may be made in installments and may be deferred until
the date or dates when such Performance Share Award would have settled. Such payment may be subject to the Participant’s continuing
Service and the achievement of performance criteria that are based on the performance criteria set forth in the Performance Share Award,
with such changes that may necessary to give effect to the merger or other reorganization, provided that the performance period shall
not be less favorable to the Participant than the performance period under such Performance Share Award (including any vesting acceleration
provisions). For purposes of this Subsection (vii), the Fair Market Value of any security shall be determined without regard to any vesting
conditions that may apply to such security.

 

		(d)	Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in Section 13, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of the occurrence
of (or relating to) any merger or other reorganization, any transaction described in Section 13(a), or any transaction that results
in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class of the Corporation. Any issue by the Corporation of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof
shall be made with respect to, Awards. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Corporation to effect any merger or other reorganization, any transaction described in Section 13(a), any dissolution or liquidation
of the Corporation or any transaction that results in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class of the Corporation.

 

SECTION 14.       DEFERRAL
OF AWARDS.

 

		(a)	Committee Powers. The Committee in its sole discretion may permit or require a Participant to:

 

		(i)	Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Restricted Stock
Units or Performance Shares credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry
on the Corporation’s books;

 

		(ii)	Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an
equal number of Restricted Stock Units; or

 

		(iii)	Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement
of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such
Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Corporation’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market
Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant.

		(b)	General Rules. A deferred compensation account established under this Section 14 may be credited with interest or other
forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights
other than those of a general creditor of the Corporation. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the
Corporation and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Corporation.
If the deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required, the Committee in its sole discretion may establish rules, procedures
and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under
this Section 14.

 

		(c)	Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any deferrals of Award payments in respect of an Award held by a Participant
who is subject to United States federal income tax shall be subject to the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and
the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is
subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required
by Section 409A of the Code.  In the event that following the grant of an Award the Committee determines that such Award may
be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the applicable Award agreement or adopt other
policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee
determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax
treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section.

 

SECTION 15.       PAYMENT
OF DIRECTOR’S FEES IN SECURITIES

 

		(a)	Effective Date. No provision of this Section 15 shall be effective unless and until the Board has determined to implement
such provision.

annual retainer payment and/or meeting fees from the Corporation in the form of cash, NSOs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units,
or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. Such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units shall be issued under the
Plan. An election under this Section 15 shall be filed with the Corporation on the prescribed form. For the avoidance of doubt, any
Awards issued to an Outside Director pursuant to this Section 15 shall not be counted towards the limit on annual Awards to the Outside
Director prescribed by Section 12(a).

The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting
fees that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The term of such NSOs, Restricted Shares
or Restricted Stock Units shall also be determined by the Board.

 

SECTION 16.       AWARDS
UNDER OTHER PLANS.

 

The Corporation may grant awards under other plans
or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan. Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under
the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Restricted Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under
Section 5.

 

SECTION 17.       LEGAL
AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

 

Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless
the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation)
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations and
the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Corporation’s securities may then be listed, and the Corporation has obtained
the approval or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Corporation determines is necessary or advisable. The Corporation
shall not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Corporation has
been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Corporation’s counsel to be necessary
to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under the Plan; and (b) any tax consequences expected, but not realized, by any Participant
or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted under the Plan.

 

SECTION 18.       WITHHOLDING
TAXES.

 

		(a)	General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall
make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with
the Plan. The Corporation shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are
satisfied.

		(b)	Share Withholding. The Corporation may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax
obligations by having the Corporation withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering
all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date
when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld that would otherwise be issued to him
or her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the legally required minimum tax withholding.

 

SECTION 19.       OTHER
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS.

 

		(a)	Transferability. Unless the agreement evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly provides
otherwise, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated
or otherwise transferred in any manner (prior to the vesting and lapse of any and all restrictions applicable to Shares issued under such
Award), other than by will, by designation of a beneficiary (which shall be a family member or family trust) delivered to the Company,
or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that an ISO may be transferred or assigned only to the extent
consistent with Section 422 of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may a Participant sell or otherwise transfer
for value any Award granted under the Plan or any interest in such an Award, other than Shares issued to the Participant that are no longer
subject to vesting or other restrictions under the terms of the applicable Award. Any purported sale, assignment, conveyance, gift, pledge,
hypothecation or transfer in violation of this Section 19(a) shall be void and unenforceable against the Corporation.

Criteria to a Participant who is a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.
