 EXHIBIT 10(23) 
 PFIZER INC. NONFUNDED DEFERRED 
 COMPENSATION AND UNIT AWARD PLAN FOR 
 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 
 (Effective
June 23, 1994) 
 (Amended September 26, 1996) 
 (Further Amended Effective March 1, 2006) 
 (Further Amended Effective January 1, 2008) 

(Further Amended Effective January 1, 2009) 
 1. Deferral Election for Cash Compensation. Each director who is not an employee of Pfizer Inc (the “Company”) or any of its subsidiaries may elect on or before the last day of any calendar year to have payment of all or a
specified part of all fees payable to him or her for services as a director during the following calendar year and thereafter deferred until he or she Separates from Service (as defined in Paragraph 8) with the Company. Any such election shall be
made by written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company. A director’s election to defer fees shall continue until a director Separates from Service unless he or she earlier terminates such election with respect to future fees by timely
written notice delivered to the Secretary of the Company. Any such notice shall become effective on the first day of the calendar year immediately following written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company. Amounts credited to the account of
a director prior to the effective date of such notice shall not be affected thereby and shall be paid to him or her in accordance with paragraph 5 (or paragraph 6 in the event of his or her death) below. 
 2. Investment of Deferred Cash Compensation. All deferred cash fees (“Deferred Cash Compensation”) shall be held in the general funds of
the Company and shall be credited to the director’s account, and, at the director’s election, the account shall be credited either with a) interest at a rate equal to the rate of return for an intermediate treasury index as selected by the
Plan Assets Committee, compounded monthly, or b) a number of units, calculated to the nearest thousandth of a unit, produced by dividing the amount of fees deferred by the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the
Consolidated Tape of the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the fiscal quarter in which the fees are earned. A director may elect to switch the investment form of deferral of previously deferred Deferred Cash Compensation effective
on the first day of any calendar quarter by giving prior written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company; provided, however, that a switch into, or out of, the unit account shall be permitted only if the director has not elected to switch
out of, or into, the unit account within this Plan, the Pfizer Company Stock Fund within the Pfizer Savings Plan or the unit account within the Pfizer Inc. Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Savings Plan during the prior six months.
The Awarded Units, as described in paragraph 3, shall not be affected by any such election. 
 3. Awards of Units. An award consisting
of 5,500 units shall be made to each director who is elected for the first time, and thereafter each year that he or she continues as a director effective as of the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. All such units shall be referred to as
the “Awarded Units.” In the event of any change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, including a stock split or splits, or a stock dividend, an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of
Awarded Units. The director’s account shall be credited with the number of Units so awarded and such Units shall remain credited until distribution as described in paragraph 5 below (or paragraph 6 in the case of the director’s death).

  

	 	4.	Dividends. 

 (A) Whenever a dividend
is declared, the number of units in the director’s account (both with respect to Deferred Cash Compensation invested in the unit account and Awarded Units, and including any increase in units due to deferred dividends pursuant to this Paragraph
4(A)) shall be increased by the result of the following calculations: 1) the number of units in the director’s account multiplied by any cash dividend declared by the Company on a share of its common stock, divided by the closing market price
of such common stock on the related dividend record date; and/or 2) the number of units in the director’s account multiplied by any stock dividend declared by the Company on a share of its common stock. In the event of any change in the number
or kind of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company including a stock split or splits, other than a stock dividend as provided above, an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of units credited to the director’s account.

 (B) Solely as to the Awarded Units granted, earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005 (within the meaning of section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”)), a director may elect to receive directly in cash without deferral the value of any cash dividend, declared by the
Company on a share of its common stock, in lieu of having his or her account credited as specified above in Paragraph 4(A). Any such election shall be made, and may also be terminated, by written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company prior
to the calendar year of the payment of the dividend. 

 (C) Solely as to the Awarded Units granted, earned or vested after December 31, 2004
(within the meaning of Section 409A), a director may elect to receive directly in cash without deferral the value of any cash dividend, declared by the Company on a share of its common stock, in lieu of having his or her account credited as
specified above in Paragraph 4(A), if such election is made within 30 days of the director’s first becoming eligible to participate in this Plan or another account balance plan required to be aggregated with this Plan under Section 409A,
provided that such election shall apply only with respect to dividends declared subsequent to the date of receipt of the election by the Company. Otherwise such dividends on any such Awarded Units will be deferred to the director’s unit account
as described above in Paragraph 4(A). Such election is permanent and may not be changed thereafter. For individuals who were, are, or will be eligible directors at any time between December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2008, and with
respect to the cash dividends received on Awarded Units granted, earned or vested after December 31, 2004 (within the meaning of Section 409A) and granted, earned, and vested prior to December 31, 2008, such directors shall make their
elections as to the receipt of such cash dividends prior to the year of payment of the applicable dividend and such elections shall not apply to the dividends payable on any Awarded Units previously granted in a year prior to such election. The last
such election shall apply to all future cash dividends made subsequent to December 31, 2008 with respect to Awarded Units granted, earned or vested after December 31, 2004 (within the meaning of Section 409A). Such election is
permanent and may not be changed thereafter. 
  

	 	5.	Distributions.  

 (A) Deferred
Cash Compensation and Awarded Units deferred prior to January 1, 2005. With respect to Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded Units granted, earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005 (within the meaning of Section 409A), and
including related earnings thereon, at least one year before he or she ceases to be a director of the Company, a director may elect, or may modify an election that he or she had previously made, to receive payment (payable in either cash or shares
of common stock at the election of the director) of his or her combined Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded Units accounts in a lump sum or in annual installments from two to fifteen, and he or she may elect to have such lump sum payment or first
annual installment made either (1) on the last business day of the month following termination, or (2) in January of the year following his or her termination as a director. In the absence of an election, such payment will begin with the
first month of the year following the director’s termination and will be made in five annual installments. 
 (B)
Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded Units deferred after December 31, 2004. With respect to Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded Units granted, earned or vested after December 31, 2004 (within the meaning of Section 409A),
and including related earnings thereon, within 30 days of first becoming eligible to participate in this Plan or another account balance plan required to be aggregated with this Plan under Section 409A, a director must elect the timing and form
of his or her distribution (payable in either cash or shares of common stock at the election of the director) of his or her deferred compensation account (containing both Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded Units and related earnings thereon);
except that for individuals who were, are, or will be eligible directors prior to or as of December 31, 2008, such directors shall make their elections as to the form and timing of distribution on or before December 31, 2008 in accordance
with the transition rule contained in IRS Notice 2007-86. Such elections are permanent and may not be changed thereafter. The director must elect as to: 
  

	 	(i)	Timing: 

 i. to receive the lump sum
distribution or first annual installment on the last business day of the month following his or her Separation from Service; or 
 ii. to receive the lump sum distribution or first annual installment in the first month of the year following the director’s Separation from Service; and 
  

	 	(ii)	Form: 

 i. to receive the distribution in a
lump sum; or 
 ii. to receive the distribution in installments from two to fifteen. 
  

	 	(iii)	In the absence of an election, such payments will begin with the first month of the year following the director’s Separation from Service and will be made in five annual
installments. 

 (C) (i) With respect to all units in the director’s account (containing both Deferred Cash Compensation
and Awarded Units and related earnings thereon), the amount payable to the director in each instance shall be determined by multiplying the number of units by the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the date
for payment or the last business day prior to that date, if the day prior to the date for payment is not a business day. 
 (ii) Where the director receives the balance of his or her account in annual installments, each installment shall be a fraction of the value of the balance of the deferred compensation credited to the director’s account either by way
of interest or units calculated under Paragraph 2 hereof, as the case may be, on the date of such payment, the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is the total number of installments remaining to be paid at that time.

 (D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded
Units granted, earned or vested after December 31, 2004 (within the meaning of Section 409A), and including related earnings thereon, distributions may not be made to a Key Employee (as defined in Paragraph 8) upon a Separation from
Service before the date which is six months after the date of the Key Employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee). Any payments that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be
accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the director’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the first day of the month after the director’s death). 
 (E) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded Units granted, earned or vested after
December 31, 2004 (within the meaning of Section 409A), and granted, earned and vested as of December 31, 2008, including related earnings thereon (the “2009 Distribution Amounts”), such 2009 Distribution Amounts shall be
paid in a lump sum to the director on July 1, 2009, provided the director files an election to do so with the Company by December 31, 2008. Such elections are permanent and may not be changed after December 31, 2008, and will have no
subsequent effect after July 1, 2009. 
  

	 	6.	Death. 

 (A) A director may
designate one or more beneficiaries (which may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive any payments to be made upon the director’s death. At any time, and from time to time, the identity of such beneficiary designation may be
changed or canceled by the director without the consent of any beneficiary. Any such beneficiary designation, change or cancellation must be by written notice filed with the Secretary of the Company and shall not be effective until received by the
Secretary. If a director designates more than one beneficiary, any payments to such beneficiaries shall be made in equal shares unless the director has designated otherwise. If no beneficiary has been named by the director, or the designated
beneficiaries have predeceased him or her, the director’s beneficiary shall be the executor or administrator of the director’s estate. 
 (B) With respect to Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded Units granted, earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005 (within the meaning of Section 409A), and including related earnings thereon, if a
director should die before full payment of all amounts credited to his or her account, such amounts shall be paid to his or her designated beneficiary or beneficiaries or to his or her estate in a single sum payment to be made as soon as practicable
after his or her death. 
 (C) With respect to Deferred Cash Compensation and Awarded Units granted, earned or vested after
December 31, 2004 (within the meaning of Section 409A), and including related earnings thereon, within 30 days of first becoming eligible to participate in this Plan or another account balance plan required to be aggregated with this Plan
under Section 409A, a director may elect for his or her designated beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive the account in a lump sum payment or installments from two to fifteen, provided the elections (including the election hereunder) are made
in accordance with paragraph 5(B). For individuals who were, are, or will be eligible directors prior to or as of December 31, 2008, such directors shall make their election as to the form of distribution for their beneficiary or beneficiaries
on or before December 31, 2008 in accordance with the transition rule contained in IRS Notice 2007-86. Such elections are permanent and may not be changed thereafter. 
 7. The right of a director to any Deferred Cash Compensation or Awarded Units credited to his or her account and including related earnings thereon shall
not be subject to assignment by him or her. If a director does assign his or her right to any Deferred Cash Compensation or Awarded Units credited to his or her account, the Company may disregard such assignment and discharge its obligation
hereunder by making payment as though no such assignment had been made. 
  

	 	8.	For purposes of this plan: 

 (A) “Key
Employee” means an individual who is treated as a “specified employee” as of his Separation from Service under Code section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), i.e., a key employee (as defined in Code section 416(i) without regard to paragraph
(5) thereof) of the Company or its affiliates if the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. Key Employees shall be determined in accordance with Code section 409A using a January 1
identification date. A listing of Key Employees as of an identification date shall be effective for the 12-month period following the identification date; and 
 (B) “Separation from Service” or “Separate(s) from Service” means a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 409A.Exhibit 10.9

and November 5, 2008 Amendments.) 
 Section 1. Purpose. The purposes of the Sprint Nextel 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Program (the
“Plan”) are to encourage Directors of Sprint Nextel Corporation (the “Company”) and officers and selected key employees of the Company and its Affiliates to acquire a proprietary and vested interest in the growth and performance
of the Company, to generate an increased incentive to contribute to the Company’s future success and prosperity, thus enhancing the value of the Company for the benefit of stockholders, and to enhance the ability of the Company and its
Affiliates to attract and retain individuals of exceptional talent upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability of the Company depends. The portion of any Award that would provide for a “deferral of
compensation” (as such term is defined under Code Section 409A), but for the fact that such Award is earned and vested under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 (the “Grandfathered Award”), if any, shall be governed by the
terms of the Plan and applicable Award Agreement as in effect on October 3, 2004, and as subsequently amended on October 11, 2004 and August 12, 2005. Amendments made effective October 11, 2004 and August 12, 2005 did not
result in a material modification of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004. Nothing in this amended Plan document shall affect deferred amounts under the Plan that were earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005. It is intended that
Grandfathered Awards be grandfathered from the application of Code Section 409A. The determination of whether a portion of an Award is earned and vested under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 shall be made in accordance with Code
Section 409A and the guidance and Treasury regulations issued thereunder. The portion of any Award that provides for a “deferral of compensation” (as such term is defined under Code Section 409A) that is earned and vested under
the Plan after December 31, 2004 (the “Non-Grandfathered Award”) shall be subject to the application of Code Section 409A and the guidance and Treasury regulations issued thereunder, to the extent applicable. 
 Section 2. Definitions. As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

any Award granted hereunder and signed by both the Company and the Participant.

value of such property determined by such methods or procedures as shall be established from time to time by the Committee; except that the “Fair Market Value” of a share of common stock of the Company for purposes of Section 6 and
Section 11 shall mean the average of the high and low prices of the common stock for composite transactions, as published by major newspapers, for the date in question or, if no trade of the common stock shall have been made on that date, the
next preceding date on which there was a trade of common stock. 
 (m) “Grant Date” shall mean the date as of which an Award is made to a
Participant. For an Option, the Grant Date cannot be a date earlier than the date of the action granting the Option.

Employee, an involuntary termination of employment because (i) the Employee has materially breached the Company’s Code of Ethics, or the code of ethics of the employer; (ii) the Employee has materially breached the Sprint Employee

intentional acts of wrongdoing or misfeasance; or (iv) the Employee has acted intentionally and in bad faith in a manner that results in a material detriment to the assets, business, or prospects of the employer.

plans of the Company or the Employee’s employer shall apply to this Plan.

 For purposes of this section, shares granted pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4(a) shall be counted in the
year granted, not in the year first exercisable. 
 Section 4. Shares Subject to the Plan. 
 (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b), the total number of Shares available for grant under the Plan in a calendar year shall be nine tenths of one percent (0.9%) of the total outstanding Shares
as of the first day of calendar year 1997, plus a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares available for grant under the 1989 Plan as of the close of business on the date of the 1997 Stockholders Meeting, for calendar year 1997, and one and
one-half percent (1.5%) of the total outstanding Shares as of the first day of each such year for which the Plan is in effect beginning with calendar year 1998 and ending with calendar year 2007 plus 10,000,000 Shares; provided that such number
shall be increased in any year by the number of Shares available for grant hereunder in previous years but not covered by Awards granted hereunder in such years; and provided further, that no more than 10,000,000 Shares shall be cumulatively
available for the grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. In addition, any Shares issued by the Company through the assumption or substitution of outstanding grants from an acquired company shall not reduce the shares available for grants
under the Plan. Any Shares issued hereunder may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. If any Shares subject to any Award granted hereunder or the Award itself are forfeited, cancelled, expired, or
otherwise terminated without the issuance of such Shares or of other consideration in lieu of such Shares pursuant to the terms of the Award, the Shares subject to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, expiration, or
termination, shall again be available for grant under the Plan. The number of shares with respect to which Options are granted in any calendar year may exceed the total number of Shares available for grant under the Plan in such year (taking into
account all other Awards granted in such year), provided that the terms of the Options provide that they may only be exercised to the extent of the number of Shares available for grant at the time of exercise, and provided further that this sentence
shall not be construed to increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan. 
 (b) In the event of any merger, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, spin-off, or other change in the corporate structure affecting the Shares, such adjustment shall be made in the aggregate number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, in the
number and class of shares that may be subject to an option granted to any individual in any year under the Plan, in the number, class and option price of Shares subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan, and in the value of, or number
or class of Shares subject to, Awards granted under the Plan as may be determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in its sole discretion, provided that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number and provided
further, that any Option, as so adjusted, shall be exempt from, or compliant with, the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder. In the case of an adjustment with respect to an Option, (i) the

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 8 

 
excess of the aggregate value of the shares subject to an Option immediately after the adjustment over the aggregate exercise price of such shares cannot
exceed the excess of the aggregate value of the shares subject to the Option immediately before the adjustment over the aggregate exercise price of such shares, and (ii) the ratio of the exercise price to the market value of the shares subject
to the Option immediately after the adjustment cannot be more favorable to the optionee than the ratio of the exercise price to the value of the shares subject to the Option immediately before the adjustment. 
 Section 5. Eligibility. Any Employee or Outside Director shall be eligible to be selected as a Participant. 
 Section 6. Stock Options. Options may be granted hereunder to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Any Option granted to
a Participant under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. Any such Option shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and to such additional terms and conditions,
not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable: 
 (a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under
an Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided that such exercise price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Share on the date of the grant of the Option. 
 (b) Option Period. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided that no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the
expiration of ten years from the date the Option is granted. 
 (c) Exercisability. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times as determined by the
Committee at or subsequent to grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or subsequent to grant, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable until the first anniversary date of the granting of the Incentive Stock Option. 

(d) Method of Exercise. Subject to the other provisions of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, any Option may be exercised by the Participant in whole or in
part at such time or times, and the Participant may pay the exercise price in such form or forms, including, without limitation, payment by delivery of cash, Shares or other consideration (including, where permitted by law and the Committee, Awards)
having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the total exercise price, or by any combination of cash, Shares and other consideration, as the Committee may permit. 
 (e) Incentive Stock Options. In accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options held by any Participant that are exercisable for the first time by such Participant during any calendar year under the Plan (and under any other benefit plans of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company)
shall 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 9 

 
not exceed $100,000 or, if different, the maximum limitation in effect at the time of grant under Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision,
and any regulations promulgated thereunder. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder. 
 (f) Form of Settlement. In its sole discretion, the Committee may provide, at the time of grant, that the shares to be issued upon an
Option’s exercise shall be in the form of Restricted Stock or other similar securities, or may reserve the right so to provide after the time of grant. 
 (g) Standard Terms of Options. Unless the Committee, or an Executive Officer or committee of Executive Officers under Section 14(i), specifies otherwise, the terms set forth in this Section 6(g) shall apply to all Options granted
under this Plan. Any Option Award Agreement that incorporates the terms of the Plan by reference shall be deemed to have incorporated the terms set forth in this Section 6(g) to the extent that these terms are not in conflict with those terms
explicitly set forth in the Option Award Agreement. 
  

	 	(i)	Each Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

  

	 	(ii)	The Grant Date of each Option shall be the date of the Committee’s action granting the Option, or the date of the action by the Executive Officer or committee of Executive
Officers under Section 14(i). 

  

	 	(iii)	The Exercise Price of each Option shall be the Fair Market Value of one Share of the class of common stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. 

  

	 	(iv)	The Option Period of each Option shall end on the close of business on the tenth anniversary of the Option’s Grant Date. The Option shall not be exercisable after its Option
Period. 

  

	 	(v)	Each Option shall become exercisable with respect to 25% of the number of Shares subject to the Option on each of the first four anniversaries of the Grant Date if, on such
anniversary date, the Participant shall have been continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate, or continuously served as an Outside Director, from the Grant Date. 

  

	 	(vi)	Each Option may be exercised after the Participant’s Termination Date only with respect to the number of Shares that were exercisable on the Participant’s Termination Date
(including Options exercisable under Section 6(g)(vii)). A Participant may exercise an Option before the expiration of the Option Period with respect to those shares during a limited period beginning on the Participant’s Termination Date
and ending (1) on the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s Termination Date, if the Participant’s service as an Outside Director or employment terminated by reason of the Participant’s Retirement or Total Disability;
(2) on the first anniversary of the Participant’s Termination Date if the Participant’s employment or service as an Outside Director terminated by reason of the Participant’s death; (3) on the day three months following the
Participant’s Termination Date if the Participant terminated employment or service as an Outside Director voluntarily, for a reason other than Retirement, or involuntarily for a reason not constituting Termination for Cause.

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 10 

 If a Participant’s employment or service as an Outside Director has been Terminated for Cause, the
Participant shall forfeit all outstanding Options immediately on the Participant’s Termination Date. 
 An Option granted pursuant to the
last sentence of Section 4(a) that was not exercisable on the Participant’s Termination Date solely because the number of shares covered by the Option exceeded the number of shares available for issuance may be exercised during the period
described above to the extent that shares become available for issuance during such period. 
  

	 	(vii)	Each Option shall become exercisable immediately following the Participant’s Termination Date if the reason for termination was the Participant’s (1) death or Total
Disability; or (2) Normal Retirement and, for Participants other than Outside Directors, the Option’s Grant Date was at least one year before the Participant’s Termination Date. 

  

	 	(viii)	Except with respect to Options granted to Executive Officers, each Option shall become immediately exercisable in full upon a Change in Control if (1) the Change in Control
occurs at least one year after the Option’s Grant Date and (2) the Participant has been an Outside Director or Employee continuously from the Option’s Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control. 

 With respect to Options granted to Executive Officers, each Option shall become immediately exercisable in full upon the Executive Officer’s
involuntary termination that is not a Termination for Cause, or upon the Executive Officer’s Resignation with Good Reason, following a Change in Control if (1) the Change in Control occurs at least one year after the Option’s Grant
Date and (2) the Participant has been an Employee continuously from the Option’s Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control. 
 If the acceleration of exercisability under this Section 6(g)(viii), together with all other payments or benefits contingent on the Change in Control within the meaning of Code Section 280G, results in any portion of such payments
or benefits not being deductible by the Company as a result of the application of Code Section 280G, the benefits shall be reduced until the entire amount of the benefits is deductible. The reduction shall be effected by the exclusion of grants
of Options or other Awards, or portions thereof, in the order determined by the Committee, first, that are not permitted to be valued under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c) (or any successor provision thereto) and second,
of Options or other Awards, or portions thereof, that are permitted to be valued under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G, Q&A 24(c). 
  

	 	(ix)	Upon the death of a Participant, all Options held by the Participant on the Participant’s date of death, to the extent exercisable under their terms, may be exercised by
(i) the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate, (ii) the Person or Persons to whom the Participant’s rights under the Options pass by the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, or
(iii) the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in accordance with Section 14(a).

 Section 7. Restricted Stock. 
 (a) Issuance. Restricted Stock Awards may be issued hereunder to Participants, for such consideration as the Committee may determine, not less than the minimum consideration required by applicable law, either alone or in addition to other
Awards granted under the Plan. The provisions of Restricted Stock Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
 (b) Registration. Any
Restricted Stock issued hereunder may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event
any stock certificate is issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and
restrictions applicable to such Award or shall be held in escrow by the Company until all restrictions on the Restricted Stock have lapsed. 
 (c)
Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, upon termination of employment for any reason during the restriction period, all shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the
Participant and reacquired by the Company; provided that in the event of a Participant’s retirement, permanent disability, other termination of employment or death, or in cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such Participant’s shares of Restricted Stock. 
 (d) Standard Terms of Restricted Stock. Unless the Committee, or an Executive Officer or committee of Executive Officers under Section 14(i), specifies otherwise,
the terms set forth in this Section 7(d) shall apply to all shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Plan. Any Award Agreement relating to a grant of Restricted Stock that incorporates the terms of the Plan by reference shall be deemed to
have incorporated the terms set forth in this Section 7(d) to the extent that these terms are not in conflict with those terms explicitly set forth in the Award Agreement. 
  

	 	(i)	The Grant Date of each share of Restricted Stock shall be the date of the Committee’s action granting the shares, or the date of the action by the Executive Officer or
committee of Executive Officers under Section 14(i). 

  

	 	(ii)	Except as provided in Section 7(d)(iii), no Restricted Stock shall become free of restrictions before the first anniversary date of the granting of the Restricted Stock.

  

	 	(iii)	 The restrictions on each share of Restricted Stock shall lapse immediately following the Participant’s Termination Date if the reason for termination was the
Participant’s death or Total Disability. 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 12 

	 	 
For grants of Restricted Stock to Employees, restrictions on each share shall also lapse immediately following (1) the date on which the Employee
attains age 65, but only if the Restricted Stock has been outstanding for at least one year, or (2) the first anniversary of the Grant Date if the Employee is age 65 or older on that anniversary date. For grants of Restricted Stock to Outside
Directors, restrictions on each share shall also lapse immediately following the date the Outside Director fails to be elected or fails to be re-nominated to the Board, or the date of the Outside Director’s Normal Retirement. If, before the
restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock lapse, the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate for any other reason, the shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited and the Participant or his representative shall sign any
document and take any other action required to assign the Restricted Stock back to the Company. 

  

	 	(iv)	Except with respect to shares of Restricted Stock granted to Executive Officers, the restrictions on each share shall lapse immediately upon a Change in Control if (1) the
Change in Control occurs at least one year after the Grant Date for the shares and (2) the Participant has been an Outside Director or Employee continuously from the Share’s Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control.

 With respect to shares of Restricted Stock granted to Executive Officers, the restrictions on each share shall lapse
immediately upon the Executive Officer’s involuntary termination that is not a Termination for Cause, or upon the Executive Officer’s Resignation with Good Reason, following a Change in Control if (1) the Change in Control occurs at
least one year after the Share’s Grant Date and (2) the Participant has been an Employee continuously from the Share’s Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control. 
 If the acceleration of vesting under this Section 7(d)(iv), together with all other payments or benefits contingent on the Change in Control within
the meaning of Code Section 280G, results in any portion of such payments or benefits not being deductible by the Company as a result of the application of Code Section 280G, the benefits shall be reduced until the entire amount of the
benefits is deductible. The reduction shall be effected by the exclusion of grants of shares of Restricted Stock or other Awards, or portions thereof, in the order determined by the Committee, first, that are not permitted to be valued under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c) (or any successor provision thereto) and second, of Restricted Stock or other Awards, or portions thereof, that are permitted to be valued under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G,
Q&A 24(c). 
  

	 	(v)	If cash dividends are paid on Restricted Stock, Participants who hold Restricted Stock on the dividend record date will receive, on the dividend payment date, the cash dividend. If
non-cash dividends are paid on the Restricted Stock, and the Participant holds the Restricted Stock on the dividend record date, the Participant’s vesting date of the non-cash dividend will be the same as the Restricted Stock to which the
non-cash dividend was attributable. 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 13 

	 	(vi)	On the vesting date, the Company will withhold from those shares of Restricted Stock that otherwise would be received upon the lapse of restrictions, a number of whole shares having
a fair market value equal to the amount of FICA, Medicare, or any other required withholding then due, unless the Participant elects to pay the withholding obligation in cash or by delivering to the Corporate Secretary Seasoned Shares. Any
fractional share amount and any additional withholding not paid by the withholding or surrender of shares must be paid in cash. 

 Section 8. Performance Awards. 
 Performance Awards may be issued hereunder to Participants, for such consideration as the Committee may
determine, not less than the minimum consideration required by applicable law, either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The performance criteria to be achieved during any Performance Period and the length of the
Performance Period shall be determined by the Committee upon the grant of each Performance Award. Except as provided in Section 12, Performance Awards will be paid only after the end of the relevant Performance Period. Performance Awards may be
paid in cash, Shares, other property or any combination thereof, in the sole discretion of the Committee at the time of payment. The performance levels to be achieved for each Performance Period and the amount of the Award to be distributed shall be
conclusively determined by the Committee. Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of the Performance Period or, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, on a deferred basis. 

Section 9. Other Stock Unit Awards. 
 (a) Stock and Administration.
Other Awards of Shares and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, Shares or other property (“Other Stock Unit Awards”) may be granted hereunder to Participants, either alone or in
addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Other Stock Unit Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or any other form of property as the Committee shall determine. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall, subject to
Section 3, have sole and complete authority to determine the Employees or Outside Directors to whom and the time or times at which such Awards shall be made, the number of Shares to be granted pursuant to such Awards, and all other conditions
of the Awards. The provisions of Other Stock Unit Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
 (b) Terms and Conditions. Subject to the
provisions of this Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, Shares subject to Awards made under this Section 9 may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the Shares are issued, or, if
later, the date on which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period lapses. Shares granted under this Section 9 may be issued for such consideration as the Committee may determine, not less than the minimum consideration
required by applicable law. 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 14 

 
Shares purchased pursuant to a purchase right awarded under this Section 9 shall be purchased for such consideration as the Committee shall in its sole
discretion determine, which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date such purchase right is awarded. 
 (c) Standard Terms
of Other Stock Unit Awards. Unless the Committee, or an Executive Officer or committee of Executive Officers under Section 14(i), specifies otherwise, the terms set forth in this Section 9(c) shall apply to all shares of Other Stock Unit
Awards granted under this Plan. Any Award Agreement relating to a grant of Other Stock Unit Awards that incorporates the terms of the Plan by reference shall be deemed to have incorporated the terms set forth in this Section 9(c) to the extent
that these terms are not in conflict with those terms explicitly set forth in the Award Agreement. 
  

	 	(i)	The Grant Date of each Other Stock Unit Award shall be the date of the Committee’s action granting the Award, or the date of the action by the Executive Officer or committee of
Executive Officers under Section 14(i). 

  

	 	(ii)	The Company will deliver the shares of stock underlying the Other Stock Unit Award on a delivery date elected by the Participant, which may only be on or after the vesting date.
Except as provided in Section 9(c)(iii), no Other Stock Unit Award shall vest before the first anniversary date of the granting of the Other Stock Unit Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the
contrary, Other Stock Unit Awards will be settled no later than two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which such Award vests, provided that if any Other Stock Unit Award is subject to Code Section 409A, such Award will
be settled on the delivery date elected by the Participant. 

  

	 	(iii)	The vesting date for Other Stock Unit Awards shall accelerate immediately following the Participant’s Termination Date if the reason for termination was the Participant’s
death or Total Disability. For grants of Other Stock Unit Awards to Employees, the vesting date shall accelerate immediately following (1) the date on which the Employee attains age 65, but only if the Other Stock Unit Award has been
outstanding for at least one year, or (2) the first anniversary of the Grant Date if the Employee is age 65 or older on that anniversary date. For grants of Other Stock Unit Awards to Outside Directors, the vesting date shall accelerate
immediately following the date the Outside Director fails to be elected or fails to be re-nominated to the Board, or the date of the Outside Director’s Normal Retirement. If the Participant’s delivery date is the same as the original
vesting date, the delivery date will also accelerate to that date. If the Participant has elected a delivery date that is not the same as the original vesting date, the delivery date will be the date specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

  

	 	(iv)	 Except with respect to Other Stock Unit Award granted to Executive Officers, the Award shall vest immediately upon a Change in Control if (1) the Change in
Control occurs at least one year after the Grant Date for the Award and (2) the Participant has been an Outside 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 15 

	 	 
Director or Employee continuously from the Award’s Grant Date through the date of the Change in Control. If the Participant’s delivery date is the
same as the original vesting date, the delivery date will also accelerate to that date. If the Participant’s Other Stock Unit Award is considered a “deferral of compensation” (as such term is defined under Code Section 409A),
delivery of such Award to the Participant shall occur within 30 days after a Change in Control, provided that such Change in Control may be treated as a change in ownership of the Company, a change in the effective control of the Company or a change
in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets as described in Treasury regulations issued under Code Section 409A (each a “Code Section 409A Change in Control”). If the Change in Control is not a Code
Section 409A Change in Control, and the conditions specified in (1) and (2) above are satisfied, the delivery of such Award to the Participant shall be made on the earlier of (x) the date of the Participant’s Separation From
Service and (y) the date specified in the applicable Award Agreement. With respect to shares of Other Stock Unit Award granted to Executive Officers, the Award shall vest immediately upon the Executive Officer’s involuntary termination
that is not a Termination for Cause, or upon the Executive Officer’s Resignation with Good Reason, following a Change in Control if (1) the Change in Control occurs at least one year after the Award’s Grant Date and (2) the
Participant has been an Employee continuously from the Award’s Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control. If the Participant’s delivery date is the same as the original vesting date, the delivery date will also accelerate to that
date. If the Executive Officer’s vested Other Stock Unit Award is considered a “deferral of compensation” (as such term is defined under Code Section 409A), delivery of such vested Award to the Executive Officer shall occur
within 30 days after the Executive Officer’s Separation From Service following a Change in Control if (1) the Change in Control occurs at least one year after the Award’s Grant Date and (2) the Participant has been an Employee
continuously from the Award’s Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control. 

 If the acceleration of vesting under
this Section 9(c)(iv), together with all other payments or benefits contingent on the Change in Control within the meaning of Code Section 280G, results in any portion of such payments or benefits not being deductible by the Company as a
result of the application of Code Section 280G, the benefits shall be reduced until the entire amount of the benefits is deductible. The reduction shall be effected by the exclusion of grants of Other Stock Unit Awards or other Awards, or
portions thereof, in the order determined by the Committee, first, that are not permitted to be valued under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c) (or any successor provision thereto) and second, of Other Stock Unit Awards or
other Awards, or portions thereof, that are permitted to be valued under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G, Q&A 24(c). 
  

	 	(v)	 If cash dividends are paid on the underlying class of stock attributable to an Other Stock Unit Award, Participants who hold Other Stock 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 16 

	 	 
Unit Awards on the dividend record date, will receive each year a cash payment equal to the amount of the dividend that would be paid on the class of stock
underlying the Other Stock Unit Award. If non-cash dividends are paid on the underlying class of stock, and the Participant holds the Other Stock Unit Award on the dividend record date, the Participant’s vesting date and the delivery date of
the non-cash dividend will be the same as the Other Stock Unit Award to which the underlying stock is attributable. 

  

	 	(vi)	If the Participant elects a delivery date after the vesting date, on the vesting date the Participant must pay any FICA, Medicare, or any other required withholding then due. In
that event, the Company will withhold from those shares under the Other Stock Unit Award, a number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of FICA, Medicare, or any other required withholding then due, unless the Participant
elects to pay the withholding obligation in cash or by delivering to the Corporate Secretary seasoned Shares. On the delivery date, the Company will withhold from those shares otherwise deliverable under the Other Stock Unit Award, a number of whole
shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of FICA, Medicare, or any other required withholding then due, unless the Participant elects to pay the withholding obligation in cash or by delivering to the Corporate Secretary Seasoned Shares.
Any fractional share amount and any additional withholding not paid by the withholding or surrender of shares must be paid in cash. 

 Section 10. [Deleted] 
 Section 11. Outside Directors’ Shares 
 Outside Directors may elect, on an annual basis, to purchase shares of any class of common stock of the Company from the Company in lieu of receiving all or part (in 10% increments) of their annual retainer, meeting
fees and committee meeting fees in cash. The purchase price of such shares shall be the Fair Market Value of the stock for the last trading day of the quarter in which the retainer, meeting fees, and committee meeting fees are earned. 
 Commencing May 1, 1997, the annual retainer and meeting fees, including Board, committee and other meetings that may be compensable under policies approved from
time to time by the Board or a committee of the Board, payable to each Outside Director for service on the Board may, at the election of the Outside Director (the “Annual Election”), be payable to a trust in shares of any class of common
stock of the Company. The Annual Election: (i) shall be irrevocable in respect of the annual retainer and meeting fees earned during the period to which it pertains (the “Plan Year”) and shall specify the applicable percentage (in
increments of 10%) of such annual retainer and meeting fees that such Outside Director wishes to direct to the trust; (ii) must be received in writing by the administrator of the Plan by the established enrollment deadline of any Plan Year
which must be no later than the last business day of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which that Plan Year commences, in order to cause that Plan Year’s annual retainer and fees to be 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 17 

 
subject to the provisions of this Plan; and (iii) must specify whether the ultimate distribution of the shares of common stock to the Outside Director
will be paid, following the Outside Director’s death or termination of Board service, in a lump sum or in equal annual payments over a period of two to twenty years. The 2005 Plan Year will be the eight month period commencing May 1, 2005
and ending December 31, 2005, and all subsequent Plan Years will be twelve month periods commencing January 1 of a year and ending on December 31 of the same year. 
 The shares shall be purchased from the Company at the Fair Market Value of the stock for the last trading day of the quarter in which the fees are earned and shall be credited by the trustee to the account of the
Outside Director. The certificates for common stock shall be issued in the name of the trustee of the trust and shall be held by such trustee in trust for the benefit of the Outside Directors; provided, however, that each Outside Director shall be
entitled to vote the shares. The trustee shall retain all dividends (which shall be reinvested in shares of the same class of common stock) and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto in the trust. The shares credited to the account of
an Outside Director shall remain subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, and the interests of the Outside Director in the trust may not be sold, hypothecated or transferred (including, without limitation, transferred by gift or
donation) while such shares are held in the trust. 
 If the Outside Director elects to receive a lump sum distribution, the trustee of the trust shall
distribute such shares of common stock free of restrictions within 60 days after the Outside Director’s Separation From Service or a later date elected by the Outside Director (no later than the mandatory retirement age of the Outside
Director). If the Outside Director elects to receive a lump sum distribution, the Outside Director may, by delivering notice in writing to the administrator of the Plan no later than December 31 of the year before the year in which the Outside
Director incurs a Separation From Service, elect to receive any portion or all of the common stock in the form of cash determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of the common stock as of the termination date. Any such notice to the
administrator must specify whether the distribution will be entirely in cash or whether the distribution will be in a combination of common stock and cash (in which case the applicable percentage must be specified). In the case of the Outside
Director’s Separation From Service as a result of his death, payment of the Outside Director’s account shall be in shares of common stock and not in cash. If an Outside Director elects to receive payments in installments, the distribution
will commence within 60 days after the Outside Director’s Separation From Service and will be made in shares of common stock and not in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any fractional shares of common stock shall
be distributed in cash to the Outside Director. 
 Section 12. Change in Control. 
 (a) In order to maintain the Participants’ rights in the event of any Change in Control of the Company, as hereinafter defined, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, as to any Award, either at the time an
Award is made hereunder or 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 18 

 
any time thereafter, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time periods relating to the exercise or
realization of any such Award so that such Award may be exercised or realized in full on or before a date fixed by the Committee; (ii) provide for the purchase of any such Award, upon the Participant’s request, for an amount of cash equal
to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the property that could have been received upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable over the amount which would
have been paid, if any, by the Participant for such property; (iii) make such adjustment to any such Award then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control, provided that any Option, as so adjusted, shall be
exempt from, or compliant with, the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder; or (iv) cause any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by the acquiring or
surviving corporation after such Change in Control. The Committee may, in its discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any agreement documenting such Awards as it deems equitable and in the best interests of the Company.

 (b) Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Award, a “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following
events: 
  

	(i)	the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any “person” or “group” (as those terms are defined in Sections 3(a)(9), 13(d), and 14(d) of the Exchange Act
and the rules thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 13d-5(b)) of “beneficial ownership” (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
(“voting securities”) of the Company that represent 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, other than 

  

	 	(A)	an acquisition by a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any person controlled
by the Company or by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any person controlled by the Company, or 

  

	 	(B)	an acquisition of voting securities by the Company or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of the stock of the Company, or 

  

	 	(C)	an acquisition of voting securities pursuant to a transaction described in clause (iii) below that would not be a Change in Control under clause (iii);

  

	(ii)	a change in the composition of the Board that causes less than a majority of the directors of the Company to be directors that meet one or more of the following descriptions:

  

	 	(A)	a director who has been a director of the Company for a continuous period of at least 24 months, or 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 19 

	 	(B)	a director whose election or nomination as director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the then directors described in clauses (ii)(A), (B), or (C) by prior
nomination or election, but excluding, for the purpose of this subclause (B), any director whose initial assumption of office occurred as a result of an actual or threatened (y) election contest with respect to the election or removal of
directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person or group other than the Board or (z) tender offer, merger, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, consolidation,
reorganization, or business combination that would be a Change in Control under clause (iii) on consummation thereof, or 

  

	 	(C)	who were serving on the Board as a result of the consummation of a transaction described in clause (iii) that would not be a Change in Control under clause (iii);

  

	(iii)	the consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of (x) a merger, consolidation,
reorganization, or business combination or (y) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (z) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case, other than in a transaction

  

	 	(A)	that results in the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting securities of the Company or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise succeeds to
the business of the Company (the Company or such person, the “Successor Entity”)) directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity’s outstanding voting securities immediately after the
transaction, and 

  

	 	(B)	after which more than 50% of the members of the board of directors of the Successor Entity were members of the Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the agreement
providing for the transaction or other action of the Board approving the transaction (or whose election or nomination was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members who were members of the Board at that time), and

  

	 	(C)	 after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however,
no person or 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 20 

	 	 
group shall be treated for purposes of this clause (C) as beneficially owning 30% or more of combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a
result of the voting power held in the Company before the consummation of the transaction; or 

  

	(iii)	a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

 For purposes of
clarification, (x) a change in the voting power of the Company voting securities based on the relative trading values of the Company’s then outstanding securities as determined pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or
(y) an acquisition of the Company securities by the Company that, in either case, by itself (or in combination only with the other event listed in this sentence) causes the Company’s voting securities beneficially owned by a person or
group to represent 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities is not to be treated as an “acquisition” by any person or group for purposes of clause (i) above. For purposes of
clause (i) above, the Company makes the calculation of voting power as if the date of the acquisition were a record date for a vote of the Company’s shareholders, and for purposes of clause (iii) above, the Company makes the
calculation of voting power as if the date of the consummation of the transaction were a record date for a vote of the Company’s shareholders. 
 (c) If
an Award provides for acceleration under Section 12(a), the provisions of Section 6(g)(viii), Section 7(d)((iv), or Section 9(c)((iv), as the case may be, shall apply to the Award. 
 Section 13. Amendments and Termination. The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that
would impair the rights of a Participant under an Award theretofore granted, without the Participant’s consent, or that without the approval of the Stockholders would, except as is provided in Section 4(b) of the Plan, increase the total
number of Shares reserved for the purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may terminate the Plan even if the effect would be to cancel unexercisable Options granted pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4(a) for which
shares have not, at the time of such termination, become available for grant. 
 The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted,
prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent. The Committee may also substitute new Awards for Awards previously granted to Participants, but it may not
substitute new Options having a lower exercise price for previously granted Options having a higher exercise price. 
 Section 14. General Provisions.

 (a) No Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except that Restricted
Stock may be used in payment of the exercise price of a stock option issued by the Company and may be otherwise transferred in a manner that protects the interests of the Company as the Committee may determine; provided that, if so determined by the
Committee, each Participant may, in the manner established 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 21 

 
by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant and to
receive the Shares or other property issued upon such exercise. 
 (b) The term of each Award shall be for such period from the date of its grant as may be
determined by the Committee; provided that in no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten (10) years from the date of its grant. 
 (c) No Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan. 
 (d) The prospective recipient of any Award under the Plan shall not, with respect to such Award, be deemed to have become a Participant, or to have any rights with
respect to such Award, until and unless such recipient shall have executed an agreement or other instrument evidencing the Award and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, and otherwise complied with the then applicable terms and
conditions. 
 (e) The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in performance award criteria or in the terms and conditions of other Awards in
recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or its financial statements or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry it into effect. In the event the Company shall assume outstanding employee benefit awards or the right or obligation to make future such awards
in connection with the acquisition of another corporation or business entity, the Committee may, in its discretion, make such adjustments in the terms of Awards under the Plan as it shall deem appropriate. In the case of an adjustment with respect
to an Option, (i) the excess of the aggregate value of the shares subject to an Option immediately after the adjustment over the aggregate exercise price of such shares cannot exceed the excess of the aggregate value of the shares subject to
the Option immediately before the adjustment over the aggregate exercise price of such shares, and (ii) the ratio of the exercise price to the market value of the shares subject to the Option immediately after the adjustment cannot be more
favorable to the optionee than the ratio of the exercise price to the value of the shares subject to the Option immediately before the adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Option, as so adjusted, shall be exempt from, or compliant with,
the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder. 
 (f) The Committee shall have full power and authority to
determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances any Award shall be canceled or suspended. In particular, but without limitation, except for Other Stock Unit Awards granted with the standard term described in Section 9(c)(ii), all
outstanding Awards to any Participant shall be canceled if the Participant, without the consent of the Committee, while employed by the Company or an Affiliate or after termination of such employment, becomes associated with, 

  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 22 

 
employed by, renders services to, or owns any interest in (other than any nonsubstantial interest, as determined by the Committee), any business that is in
competition with the Company or with any business in which the Company has a substantial interest as determined by the Committee or any one or more Executive Officers or committee of Executive Officers to whom the authority to make such
determination is delegated by the Committee under Section 14(i). 
 (g) All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall
be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then
listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
 (h) Subject to the provisions of this Plan and any Award Agreement, the recipient of an Award (other than an Option) may, if so determined by the Committee, be entitled
to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, interest or dividends, or interest or dividend equivalents, with respect to the number of shares covered by the Award, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and the Committee may
provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested. The recipient of an Option shall not be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, interest, dividends, or dividend
equivalents with respect to such Award. 
 (i) Except as otherwise required in any applicable Award Agreement or by the terms of the Plan, recipients of
Awards under the Plan shall not be required to make any payment or provide consideration other than the rendering of services. 
 (j) The Committee may
delegate to one or more Executive Officers or a committee of Executive Officers the right to grant Awards to Employees who are not Executive Officers or Directors of the Company and to cancel or suspend Awards to Employees who are not Executive
Officers or Directors of the Company. 
 (k) The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or payment due under the Plan the amount of
withholding taxes due with respect to an Award or payment hereunder and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. The Company shall also be authorized to
accept the delivery of Shares by a Participant in payment for the withholding of taxes. 
 (l) Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board of
Directors from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
  

 1997 LTSIP 11.04.08 
 23 

 (m) The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas and applicable Federal law. 
 (n) If any provision of this Plan is or becomes or is deemed
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws or if it cannot be
construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 15. Time and Form of Settlement. The time and form of settlement of the Participant’s Award shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Plan
and the applicable Award Agreement, provided that if a Participant receives settlement of an Award upon termination of employment for reasons other than death, the payment at such time can be characterized as a “short-term deferral” for
purposes of Code Section 409A or as otherwise exempt from the provisions of Code Section 409A, or if any portion of the payment cannot be so characterized, and the Participant is a “specified employee” under Code
Section 409A, such portion of the payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of the Participant’s death or the date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s termination of employment (the “Delay
Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 15 shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due under the applicable Award Agreement, shall be payable at
the same time and form as such amounts would have been paid in accordance with their original payment schedule under such Award Agreement. 
 Section 16. Prohibition on Acceleration of Payments. The time or schedule of any settlement or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement, may not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted
under Code Section 409A and the guidance and Treasury regulations issued thereunder. 
 Section 17. Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it is the intent of the parties to the applicable Award
Agreement that such Award Agreement incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code and that such Award Agreement and the terms of the Plan as applicable to such Award be
interpreted and construed in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to assume any increased
economic burden in connection therewith. Although the Company and the Committee intend to administer the Plan so that it will comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, neither the Company nor the Committee represents or warrants that
the Plan will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law.

Neither the Company, its subsidiaries, nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to any Participant (or any other
individual claiming a benefit through the Participant) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant may owe as a result of participation in the Plan, and the Company and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise
protect any Participant from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A. 
 Section 18. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall
be effective as of April 15, 1997. 
 Section 19. Term of Plan. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after April 15, 2007, but any
Award granted on or before such date may extend beyond that date.
