1.                 
Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide Associates of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity
to purchase Common Stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify
as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The provisions of
the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that
section of the Code.

deemed to be the fair value of the Common Stock as determined by the Committee after taking into consideration all factors which it deems
appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the Common Stock in private transactions negotiated at arm’s
length.

exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the Fair Market Value of the stock at the time such option
is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. The limitation described in clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence shall be applied in a manner consistent with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

    	 	2	 

     

    

4.                 
Offering Periods. The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods continuing from the first Offering Period
until terminated in accordance with Section 19 hereof. The Committee shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including
the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future offerings without shareowner approval if such change is announced at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter.

5.                 
Participation.

(a)              
An Associate may become a participant in the Plan for an Offering Period by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll
deductions in the form of Exhibit A to this Plan (or in such other form as the Committee shall approve and which shall contain substantially
the same terms as Exhibit A) and filing it with the human resources office of the Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary at least
fifteen (15) business days prior to the applicable Enrollment Date, unless a later time for filing the subscription agreement is set by
the Committee for all Associates with respect to a given Offering Period.

(b)              
Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first payroll date following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the
last payroll date in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided
in Section 10 hereof.

6.                 
Payroll Deductions.

(a)              
At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each
pay day during the Offering Period in an amount (expressed as a whole number percentage or a fixed dollar amount) of the Compensation
he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period.

(b)              
All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan. Subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 7, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not to permit participants to make any additional
payments into such account and, if so, upon such terms as the Committee may determine. However, in all events, all employees shall have
the same rights and privileges with respect to their right to make such additional payments.

    	 	3	 

     

    

(c)              
A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan, as provided in Section 10 hereof, at any time during the Offering
Period prior to the Exercise Date. Once an Offering Period has commenced, a participant may not increase or decrease the rate or amount
of his or her payroll deductions for that Offering Period, but may, during that Offering Period, increase or decrease the rate or amount
of his or her payroll deductions for the next succeeding Offering Period, by completing or filing with the Company or applicable Designated
Subsidiary a new subscription agreement, at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the end of that Offering Period, authorizing a change
in payroll deduction rate or amount. A participant’s subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods
unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(d)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to 0% at any time, to the extent necessary
to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof. Subject to the preceding sentence, payroll deductions shall recommence
at the rate or amount provided in such participant’s subscription agreement at the beginning of the next succeeding Offering Period,
unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(e)              
At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Common Stock issued under the Plan
is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provisions for the federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations of the Company
or applicable Designated Subsidiary, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any
time, the Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation
the amount necessary for the Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding
required to make available to the Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early
disposition of Common Stock by the Associate.

7.                 
Grant of Option. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Associate participating in such Offering Period shall
be granted an option to purchase on the Exercise Date of such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares
of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing such Associate’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise
Date and retained in the participant’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that
in no event shall an Associate be permitted to purchase during any calendar year more than $25,000 in Fair Market Value of Common Stock
(with Fair Market Value to be determined on each Enrollment Date) within such calendar year and, provided further, that such purchase
shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section
8 hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof, and shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

8.                 
Exercise of Option. Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, his or her option for
the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date and, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b)
and 12 hereof, the maximum number of full shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase
Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No fractional shares will be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated
in a participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained in the participant’s account
for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. During a participant’s
lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by the participant.

    	 	4	 

     

    

9.                 
Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange
the delivery to or for the account of each participant, as appropriate, a certificate representing the shares purchased upon exercise
of his or her option; provided, however, that the Committee may instead determine to hold such shares in an account for each such participant
until the participant either ceases participation in the Plan or requests delivery of such shares.

10.             
Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.

(a)              
A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to
exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time prior to the last business day of an Offering Period (or such earlier date established
by the Committee in its discretion) by giving written notice to the Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary in the form of Exhibit
B to this Plan. All of the participant’s payroll deductions credited to his or her account will be paid to such participant promptly
after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant’s option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and
no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be made during the Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from the
Plan during an Offering Period, he or she may not resume participation until the next Offering Period. He or she may resume participation
for any other Offering Period by delivering to the Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary a new subscription agreement at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the Enrollment Date for such Offering Period.

(b)              
Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Associate for any reason, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from
the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise
the option will be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section
14 hereof, and such participant’s option will be automatically terminated.

(c)              
A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participant in
any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company.

11.             
Interest. No interest shall accrue or be payable with respect to any of the payroll deductions of a participant in the Plan.

12.             
Stock.

(a)              
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 400,000 shares, subject
to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 18 hereof. If on a given Exercise Date the number of
shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the Company shall
make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall
determine to be equitable.

    	 	5	 

     

    

(b)              
No participant will have an interest or voting right in shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised.

(c)              
Shares to be issued to a participant under the Plan will be registered in the record or beneficial name of the participant or in
the record or beneficial name of the participant and his or her spouse.

13.             
Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary
authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed
under the Plan. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Committee shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and
binding upon all parties. Members of the Board who are Associates are permitted to participate in the Plan, provided that members of the
Board who are eligible to participate in the Plan may not vote on any matter affecting the administration of the Plan or the grant of
any option pursuant to the Plan.

14.             
Payments Upon Death of Participant. In the event of a participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which
the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares (or cash, if applicable), the Company shall deliver such
shares or cash to the participant’s estate. In addition, in the event of a participant’s death prior to the exercise of an
option, the Company shall remit any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan to his estate.

15.             
Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the
exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other
than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 14 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment,
transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds
from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

16.             
Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary under the Plan
may be used by the Company or such Subsidiary for any corporate purpose, and the Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary shall not
be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

17.             
Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to
participating Associates at least annually, within such time as the Committee may reasonably determine, which statements will set forth
the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 

    	 	6	 

     

    

18.             
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.

(a)              
Changes in Capitalization. Unless the Committee specifically determines otherwise, the Reserves as well as the price per
share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall
not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company
of shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an option. Any adjustment accomplished as a result of a change in capitalization shall be subject
to any required action by the shareowners of the Company.

(b)              
Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period
will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee.

(c)              
Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger
of the Company with or into another corporation, each option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted
by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Committee determines, in the exercise
of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Offering Period then in progress by setting a new
Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”). If the Committee shortens the Offering Period then in progress in lieu of assumption
or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Committee shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10)
business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for his or her option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and
that his or her option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date he or she has withdrawn from
the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof. For purposes of this paragraph, an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed
to be assumed if, following the sale of assets or merger, the option confers the right to purchase, for each share of option stock subject
to the option immediately prior to the sale of assets or merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property)
received in the sale of assets or merger by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held on the effective date of the transaction
(and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the sale of assets or merger was not solely common
stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Committee may, with the consent of the
successor corporation and the participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely common
stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common
Stock in the sale of assets or merger.

    	 	7	 

     

    

The Committee may, if it
so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of
Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the event the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights
offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common Stock, and in the event of the Company being consolidated
with or merged into any other corporation.

19.             
Amendment or Termination.

(a)              
The Committee may, without further action by the shareowners and without receiving further consideration from the participants,
amend this Plan or condition or modify awards under this Plan in response to changes in securities or other laws or rules, regulations
or regulatory interpretations thereof applicable to this Plan or to comply with applicable self-regulatory organization rules or requirements.

(b)              
The Committee may at any time and from time to time terminate or modify or amend the Plan in any respect, except that, without
shareowner approval, the Committee may not materially amend the Plan, including, but not limited to, the following:

(i)                
increasing the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan (other than pursuant to Section 18); and

(ii)       changing
the corporations whose employees may be offered purchase rights under the plan.

In addition to the foregoing,
the Committee shall seek shareowner approval for amendments that require shareowner approval under Section 423 of the Code (or any successor
provision or any other applicable law or regulation).

(c)              
Except as provided in Sections 18 and 19(a) hereof, no termination may, without the consent of an affected participant, adversely
affect options previously granted; provided, that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Committee on any Exercise Date if the Committee
determines that the termination of the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its shareowners. Except as provided in Sections
18 and 19(a) hereof, no amendment may adversely affect the rights of any options previously granted. The Committee shall determine in
its sole discretion for purposes of this Section 19 whether or not a participant’s rights have been “adversely affected.”

20.             
Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall
be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by
the Company for the receipt thereof.

21.             
Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option
and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed.

    	 	8	 

     

    

22.             
Term of Plan. Subject to the approval by the Board and by the shareowners of the Company at a duly convened meeting of shareowners,
the Plan shall be effective as of April 27, 2021. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years thereafter unless sooner
terminated under Section 19 hereof.

23.             
Additional Restrictions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The terms and conditions of options granted hereunder to, and
the purchase of shares by, persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall comply with the applicable provisions of the rules
and regulations promulgated under such Section 16. This Plan shall be deemed to contain, and such options shall contain, and the shares
issued upon exercise thereof shall be subject to, such additional conditions and restrictions as may be required by such rules and regulations
to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions.

As adopted by the Board of Directors

and the Shareowners,

number) of my Compensation, or (ii) $_______, on each payday during the Offering Period in accordance with the Associate Stock Purchase
Plan. (Please note that no fractional percentages are permitted.)

3.                 
I understand that said payroll deductions will be accumulated for the purchase of shares of Common Stock at applicable Purchase
Price determined in accordance with the Associate Stock Purchase Plan. I understand that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period,
any accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise my option on the Exercise Date.

4.                 
I have received a copy of the complete “Capital City Bank Group, Inc. 2021 Associate Stock Purchase Plan.” I understand
that my participation in the Associate Stock Purchase Plan is in all respects subject to the terms of the Associate Stock Purchase Plan.

6.                 
I understand that, under current federal income tax law, if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant to the Plan within
the later of (i) two (2) years after the first day of the Offering Period during which I purchased such shares, or (ii) one (1) year after
the date I purchased any Common Stock under the Associate Stock Purchase Plan, I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having
made a “disqualifying disposition” and as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal
to the excess of fair market value of the shares at the time such shares were delivered to me over the price which I paid for the shares.
The remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on such disqualifying disposition will be taxed as capital gain. I hereby agree to notify
the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of any disqualifying disposition of my shares and I will make adequate provision
for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon such disqualifying disposition. The Company or applicable
Designated Subsidiary may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from my compensation the amount necessary to meet any applicable withholding
obligation including any withholding necessary to make available to the Company or such Subsidiary any tax deductions or benefits attributable
to sale or disqualifying disposition of Common Stock by me. If I dispose of such shares at any time after the expiration of the two-year
holding period, I understand that I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received income only at the time of such
disposition, and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the excess
of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such disposition over the purchase price which I paid for the shares, or (b) the
excess of the fair market value of the shares over the Purchase Price on the first day of the Offering Period in which the shares were
purchased. The remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital gain.

7.                 
I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Associate Stock Purchase Plan. The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement
is dependent upon my eligibility to participate in the Associate Stock Purchase Plan.

INCENTIVE PLAN

 

 

1.                 
Purpose.  The purpose of the 2021 Associate Incentive Plan (“Plan”) of Capital City Bank Group, Inc.
(“Company”) is to provide a means through which the Company and its Subsidiaries may attract able persons to enter and remain
in the employ or other service of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to provide a means whereby those key persons upon whom the responsibilities
of the successful administration and management of the Company rest, and whose present and potential contributions to the welfare of the
Company are of importance, can acquire and maintain stock ownership, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of the Company
and promoting an identity of interest between shareowners and these key persons.

A further purpose of the
Plan is to provide such key persons with additional incentive and reward opportunities designed to enhance the profitable growth of the
Company. The Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock
Awards, Phantom Stock Unit Awards and Performance Share Units, or any combination of the foregoing.

2.

(a)              
“Appreciation Date” shall mean the date designated by a Holder of Stock Appreciation Rights for measurement
of the appreciation in the value of rights awarded to him, which date shall be the date notice of such designation is received by the
Committee, or its designee.

(b)              
“Award” shall mean, individually or collectively, any Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option, Stock
Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Phantom Stock Unit Award or Performance Share Unit Award.

(c)

upon (i) the determination by the Committee that the Participant has failed to perform his duties to the Company or a Subsidiary (other
than as a result of his incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury), which failure amounts to an intentional and extended
neglect of his duties to such party, (ii) the Committee’s determination that the Participant has engaged or is about to engage in
conduct materially injurious to the Company or a Subsidiary, or (iii) the Participant having been convicted of a felony.

(f)

or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting stock; or (ii) during any 12-month period, individuals who at the beginning
of such period constitute the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election or the nomination
for election by the Company’s shareowners of each new director was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors
then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period. Any merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization in which
the owners of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors (“Voting Stock”) prior to said
combination, own fifty percent (50%) or more of the resulting entity’s voting stock shall not, by itself, be considered a Change
in Control.

The Committee shall have

relating to the Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee’s interpretation of
the Plan or any Awards granted pursuant thereto and all decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan shall be
final, binding, and conclusive on all parties unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

Stock Option Awards that may not exceed the 700,000 maximum;

or Performance Share Unit shall be surrendered, terminate, expire, or be forfeited, the number of shares of Stock no longer subject thereto
shall thereupon be released and shall thereafter be available for new Awards under the Plan to the fullest extent permitted by the Exchange
Act (if applicable at the time); and

    	 	5	 

     

    

(c)              
Stock delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Stock or Stock held in the
treasury of the Company or may be purchased on the open market or by private purchase at prices no higher than the Fair Market Value at
the time of purchase.

(d)              
Eligibility.  Participants shall be limited to officers, directors (shall mean members of the Board of Directors
of the Company, including community and advisory directors who receive Director Fees) and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries
who have received written notification from the Committee that they have been selected to participate in the Plan.

6.                 
Stock Options.  One or more Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options can be granted to any Participant;
provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Eligible Associates.  Each Option so granted shall be
subject to the following conditions.

(a)              
Option price. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option, the option price (“Option Price”)
per share of Stock shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock
at the Date of Grant.

(b)              
Manner of exercise and form of payment. Options which have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written notice
of exercise to the Committee accompanied by payment of the Option Price. The Option Price shall be payable in cash and/or shares of Stock
valued at the Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised, or, in the discretion of the Committee, either (i) in other property
having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Option Price, or (ii) by delivering to the Company a copy of irrevocable
instructions to a stockbroker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of sale or loan proceeds sufficient to pay the Option Price.

(c)              
Other terms and conditions. If the Holder has not died or his relationship as an officer, employee or director with the
Company or a Subsidiary has not terminated, the Option shall become exercisable in such manner and within such period or periods (“Option
Period”), not to exceed ten (10) years from its Date of Grant, as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement to be entered into in
connection therewith.

(i)                
Each Option shall lapse in the following situations:

		--	Ten (10) years after it is granted;

		--	Three (3) months after Normal Termination, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, or

		--	Any earlier time set forth in the Stock Option Agreement.

(ii)             
If the Holder terminates his relationship as an officer, employee or director with the Company or a Subsidiary otherwise than by
Normal Termination or death, the Option shall lapse at the time of termination.

    	 	6	 

     

    

(iii)           
If the Holder dies within the Option Period or within three (3) months after Normal Termination (or such other period as may have
been established by the Committee), the Option shall lapse unless it is exercised within the Option Period and in no event later than
twelve (12) months after the date of Holder’s death by the Holder’s legal representative or representatives or by the person
or persons entitled to do so under the Holder’s last will and testament or, if the Holder shall fail to make testamentary disposition
of such Option or shall die intestate, by the person entitled to receive said Option under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(d)              
Stock Option Agreement. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a “Stock Option Agreement”
between the Company and the Holder of the Option containing such provisions as may be determined by the Committee, but shall be subject
to the following terms and conditions.

(i)                
Each Option or portion thereof that is exercisable shall be exercisable for the full amount or for any part thereof, except as
otherwise determined by the terms of the Stock Option Agreement.

(ii)             
Each share of Stock purchased through the exercise of an Option shall be paid for in full at the time of the exercise. Each Option
shall cease to be exercisable, as to any share of Stock, when the Holder purchases the share or exercises a related SAR or when the Option
lapses.

(iii)           
Options shall not be transferable by the Holder except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable
during the Holder’s lifetime only by him or her.

(iv)            
Each Option shall become exercisable by the Holder in accordance with the vesting schedule (if any) established by the Committee
for the Award.

(v)              
Each Stock Option Agreement may contain an agreement that, upon demand by the Committee for such a representation, the Holder shall
deliver to the Committee at the time of any exercise of an Option a written representation that the shares to be acquired upon such exercise
are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof. Upon such demand, delivery of such representation
prior to the delivery of any shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be a condition precedent to the right of the Holder or such
other person to purchase any shares. In the event certificates for Stock are delivered under the Plan with respect to which such investment
representation has been obtained, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such certificates to make appropriate reference
to such representation and to restrict transfer in the absence of compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws.

(e)              
Grants to 10% Holders of Company Voting Stock. Notwithstanding Section 7(a), if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to
a Holder who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, the period specified in the Stock Option Agreement for which the Option thereunder is granted and at the
end of which such Option shall expire shall not exceed five (5) years from the Date of Grant of such Option and the Option Price shall
be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value (on the Date of Grant) of the Stock subject to the Option.

    	 	7	 

     

    

(f)               
Limitation. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined as of the Date of Grant) of Stock for which Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries)
exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

(g)              
Voluntary Surrender. The Committee may permit the voluntary surrender of all or any portion of any Nonqualified Stock Option
and its corresponding SAR, if any, granted under the Plan to be conditioned upon the granting to the Holder of a new Option for the same
or a different number of shares as the Option surrendered or require such voluntary surrender as a condition precedent to a grant of a
new Option to such Participant. Such new Option shall be exercisable at the Option Price, during the exercise period, and in accordance
with any other terms or conditions specified by the Committee at the time the new Option is granted, all determined in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan without regard to the Option Price, exercise period, or any other terms and conditions of the Nonqualified
Stock Option surrendered.

(h)              
Order of Exercise. Options granted under the Plan may be exercised in any order, regardless of the Date of Grant or the
existence of any other outstanding Option.

(i)                
Notice of Disposition. Participants shall give prompt notice to the Company of any disposition of Stock acquired upon exercise
of an Incentive Stock Option if such disposition occurs within either two (2) years after the Date of Grant of such Option and/or one
(1) year after the receipt of such Stock by the Holder.

7.                 
Stock Appreciation Rights.  Any Option granted under the Plan may include a SAR, either at the time of grant or
by amendment except that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such SAR shall be granted only at the time of grant of the related
Option.  The Committee may also award to Participants SARs independent of any Option.  A SAR shall be subject to such
terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall impose, including, but not limited to, the following:

(a)              
Vesting. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable, be transferable and shall lapse according
to the same vesting schedule, transferability and lapse rules that are established by the Committee for the Option. A SAR granted independent
of an Option shall become exercisable, be transferable and shall lapse in accordance with a vesting schedule, transferability and lapse
rules established by the Committee.

(b)              
Failure to Exercise. If on the last day of the Option Period (or in the case of a SAR independent of an Option, the SAR
period established by the Committee), the Fair Market value of the Stock exceeds the Option Price, the Holder has not exercised the Option
or SAR, and neither the Option nor the SAR has lapsed, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Holder on such last day
and the Company shall make the appropriate payment therefor.

    	 	8	 

     

    

(c)              
Payment. The amount of additional compensation which may be received pursuant to the award of one SAR is the excess, if
any, of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the Appreciation Date over the Option Price, as defined in Section 7(a), in the
case of a SAR granted in connection with an Option, or the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the Date of Grant, in the case
of a SAR granted independent of an Option. The Company shall pay such excess in cash, in shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value,
or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Fractional shares shall be settled in cash.

(d)              
Designation of Appreciation Date. A Participant may designate an Appreciation Date at such time or times as may be determined
by the Committee at the time of grant by filing an irrevocable written notice with the Committee or its designee, specifying the number
of SARs to which the Appreciation Date relates, and the date on which such SARs were awarded. Such time or times determined by the Committee
may take into account any applicable “window periods” required by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

(e)              
Expiration. Except as otherwise provided in the case of SARs granted in connection with Options, the SARs shall expire on
a date designated by the Committee which is not later than ten (10) years after the date on which the SAR was awarded.

8.                 
Performance Shares.

(a)              
Award Grants. The Committee is authorized to establish Performance Share programs to be effective over designated Award
Periods of not less than one (1) year nor more than five (5) years. At the beginning of each Award Period, the Committee will establish
in writing Performance Goals based upon financial or other objectives for the Company for such Award Period and a schedule relating the
accomplishment of the Performance Goals to the Awards to be earned by Participants. Performance Goals may include absolute or relative
growth in earnings per share or rate of return on shareowners’ equity or other measurement of corporate performance and may be determined
on an individual basis or by categories of Participants. The Committee may adjust Performance Goals or performance measurement standards
as it deems equitable in recognition of extraordinary or non-recurring events experienced during an Award Period by the Company, a Subsidiary
or by any other corporation whose performance is relevant to the determination of whether Performance Goals have been attained. The Committee
shall determine the number of Performance Share Units to be awarded, if any, to each Participant who is selected to receive an Award.
The Committee may add new Participants to a Performance Share program after its commencement by making pro rata grants.

(b)              
Determination of Award. At the completion of a Performance Share program, or at other times as specified by the Committee,
the Committee shall calculate the amount earned with respect to each Participant’s award by multiplying the Fair Market Value on
the Valuation Date by the number of Performance Share Units granted to the Participant and multiplying the amount so determined by a performance
factor representing the degree of attainment of the Performance Goals.

    	 	9	 

     

    

(c)              
Partial Awards. A Participant for less than a full Award Period, whether by reason of commencement or termination of employment
or otherwise, shall receive such portion of an Award, if any, for that Award Period as the Committee shall determine.

(d)              
Payment of Non-deferred Awards. The amount earned with respect to an Award shall be fully payable in shares of Stock based
on the Fair Market Value on the Valuation Date; provided, however, that, at its discretion, the Committee may vary such form of payment
as to any Participant upon the specific request of such Participant. Except as provided in subparagraph 9(e), payments of Awards shall
be made as soon as practicable after the completion of an Award Period.

(e)              
Deferral of Payment. A Participant may file a written election with the Committee to defer the payment of any amount otherwise
payable pursuant to subparagraph 9(d) on account of an Award to a period commencing at such future date as specified in the election.
Such election must be filed with the Committee by the last day of the month which is two-thirds of the way through but in no event later
than the last day of the month which is six-months before the end of the Award Period during which the Award is earned, unless the Committee
specifies an earlier filing date.

(f)               
Separate Accounts. At the conclusion of each Award Period, the Committee shall cause a separate account to be maintained
in the name of each Participant with respect to whom all or a portion of an Award of Performance Share Units earned under the Plan has
been deferred. All amounts credited to such account shall be fully vested at all times.

(g)              
Election of Form of Investment. Within sixty (60) days from the end of each Award Period, and at such time or times, if
any, as the Committee may permit, a Participant may file a written election with the Committee of the percentage of the deferred portion
of any Award of Performance Share Units which is to be expressed in the form of dollars and credited with interest, the percentage of
such Award which is to be expressed in the form of Phantom Stock Units and the percentage of such Award which is to be deemed invested
in any other hypothetical investment equivalent from time to time made available under the Plan by the Committee. In the event a Participant
fails to file an election within the time prescribed, one hundred percent (100%) of the deferred portion of such Participant’s Award
shall be expressed in the form of Phantom Stock Units.

(h)              
Interest Portion. The amount of interest credited with respect to the portion of an Award credited to the Participant’s
account which is deferred and credited with interest (the “Interest Portion”) shall be equal to the amount such portion would
have earned had it been credited with interest from the last day of the Award Period with respect to which the Award was made until the
seventh (7th) business day preceding the date as of which payment is made, compounded annually, at the Company’s rate of return
on shareowners’ equity for each fiscal year that payment is deferred, or at such other rate as the Committee may from time to time
determine. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, credit interest on amounts payable prior to the date on which the Company’s
rate of return on shareowners’ equity becomes ascertainable at the rate applicable to deferred amounts during the year immediately
preceding the year of payment.

    	 	10	 

     

    

(i)                
Phantom Stock Unit Portion. With respect to the portion of an Award credited to the Participant’s account which is
deferred and expressed in the form of Phantom Stock Units (the “Phantom Stock Unit Portion”), the number of Phantom Stock
Units so credited shall be equal to the result of dividing (i) the Phantom Stock Unit Portion by (ii) the Fair Market Value on the date
the Award Period ended.

(j)                
Dividend Equivalents. Within thirty (30) days from the payment of a dividend by the Company on its Stock, the Phantom Stock
Unit Portion of each Participant’s account shall be credited with additional Phantom Stock Units the number of which shall be determined
by (i) multiplying the dividend per share paid on the Company’s Stock by the number of Phantom Stock Units credited to his account
at the time such dividend was declared, then (ii) dividing such amount by the Fair Market Value on the payment date for such dividend.

(k)              
Payment of Deferred Awards. Payment with respect to amounts credited to the account of a Participant shall be made in a
series of annual installments over a period of ten (10) years, or such other period as the Committee may direct, or as the Committee may
allow the Participant to elect, in either case at the time of the original deferral election. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee,
each installment shall be withdrawn proportionately from the Interest Portion and from the Phantom Stock Unit Portion of a Participant’s
account based on the percentage of the Participant’s account which he originally elected to be credited with interest and with Phantom
Stock Units, or, if a later election has been permitted by the Committee and is then in effect, based on the percentage specified in such
later election. Payments shall commence on the date specified by the Participant in his deferral election, unless the Committee in its
sole discretion, at the time of the original deferral election, determines that payment shall be made over a shorter period or in more
frequent installments, or commence on an earlier date, or any or all of the above. If a Participant dies prior to the date on which payment
with respect to all amounts credited to his account shall have been completed, payment with respect to such amounts shall be made to the
Participant’s estate in a series of annual installments over a period of five (5) years, unless the Committee in its sole discretion
determines that payment shall be made over a shorter period or in more frequent installments, or both. To the extent practicable, each
installment payable hereunder shall approximate that part of the amount then credited to the Participant’s or his estate's account
which, if multiplied by the number of installments remaining to be paid would be equal to the entire amount then credited to the Participant’s
account.

(l)                
Composition of Payment. The Committee shall cause all payments with respect to deferred Awards to be made in a manner such
that not more than one-half of the value of each installment shall consist of Stock. To that end, payment with respect to the Interest
Portion and the Phantom Stock Unit Portion of a Participant’s account shall be paid in cash and Stock as the Committee shall determine
in its sole discretion. The determination of any amount to be paid in cash for Phantom Stock Units shall be made by multiplying (i) the
Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date as of which payment is made, by (ii) the number of Phantom Stock Units for which payment
is being made. The determination of the number of shares of Stock, if any, to be distributed with respect to the Interest Portion of a
Participant’s account shall be made by dividing (i) one-half of the value of such portion on the date as of which payment is made,
by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on such date. Fractional shares shall be paid in cash.

    	 	11	 

     

    

(m)            
Alternative Investment Equivalents. If the Committee shall have permitted Participants to elect to have deferred Awards
of Performance Share Units invested in one or more hypothetical investment equivalents other than interest or Phantom Stock Units, such
deferred Awards shall be credited with hypothetical investment earnings at such rate, manner and time as the Committee shall determine.
At the end of the deferral period, payment shall be made in respect of such hypothetical investment equivalents in such manner and at
such time as the Committee shall determine.

(n)              
Adjustment of Performance Goals. The Committee may, during the Award Period, make such adjustments to Performance Goals
as it may deem appropriate, to compensate for, or reflect, any significant changes that may have occurred during such Award Period in
(i) applicable accounting rules or principles or changes in the Company’s method of accounting or in that of any other corporation
whose performance is relevant to the determination of whether an Award has been earned or (ii) tax laws or other laws or regulations that
alter or affect the computation of the measures of Performance Goals used for the calculation of Awards.

9.                 
Restricted Stock Awards and Phantom Stock Units.

(a)              
Award of Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units.

(i)                
The Committee shall have the authority (1) to grant Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Unit Awards, (2) to issue or transfer Restricted
Stock to Participants, and (3) to establish terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units,
including the Restricted Period, which may differ with respect to each grantee, the time or times at which Restricted Stock or Phantom
Stock Units shall be granted or become vested and the number of shares or units to be covered by each grant.

(ii)             
The Holder of a Restricted Stock Award shall execute and deliver to the Secretary of the Company an agreement with respect to Restricted
Stock and escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee and the appropriate blank stock powers with respect to the Restricted Stock covered
by such agreements and shall pay to the Company, as the purchase price of the shares of Stock subject to such Award, the aggregate par
value of such shares of Stock within sixty (60) days following the making of such Award. If a Participant shall fail to execute the agreement,
escrow agreement and stock powers or shall fail to pay such purchase price within such period, the Award shall be null and void. Subject
to the restrictions set forth in Section 10(b), the Holder shall generally have the rights and privileges of a shareowner as to such Restricted
Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock. At the discretion of the Committee, cash and stock dividends with respect to
the Restricted Stock may be either currently paid or withheld by the Company for the Holder’s account, and interest may be paid
on the amount of cash dividends withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. Cash or stock dividends so
withheld by the Committee shall not be subject to forfeiture.

(iii)           
In the case of a Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall then cause stock certificates registered in the name of the Holder
to be issued and deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent to be designated by the Committee. The Committee shall
cause the escrow agent to issue to the Holder a receipt evidencing any stock certificate held by it registered in the name of the Holder.

    	 	12	 

     

    

(iv)            
In the case of a Phantom Stock Units Award, no shares of Stock shall be issued at the time the Award is made, and the Company will
not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such Award. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether
to credit to the account of, or to currently pay to, each Holder of an Award of Phantom Stock Units an amount equal to the cash dividends
paid by the Company upon one share of Stock for each Phantom Stock Unit then credited to such Holder’s account (“Dividend
Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents credited to Holder’s account shall be subject to forfeiture and may bear interest at a
rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee.

(b)              
Restrictions.

(i)                
Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted
Period: (1) the Holder shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate; (2) the shares shall be subject to the restrictions
on transferability set forth in the grant; (3) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in subparagraph (d) and,
to the extent such shares are forfeited, the stock certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Holder to such
shares and as a shareowner shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

(ii)             
Phantom Stock Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted
Period: (1) the units shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in subparagraph (d), and to the extent such units are forfeited,
all rights of the Holder to such units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (2) any other restrictions
which the Committee may determine in advance are necessary or appropriate.

(iii)           
The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units
whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date of the
Restricted Stock Award or Phantom Stock Award, such action is appropriate.

(c)              
Restricted Period. The Restricted Period of Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units shall commence on the Date of Grant
and shall expire from time to time as to that part of the Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units indicated in a schedule established
by the Committee with respect to the Award.

(d)              
Forfeiture Provisions. In the event a Holder terminates employment or service as a director during a Restricted Period,
that portion of the Award with respect to which restrictions have not expired (“Non-Vested Portion”) shall be treated as follows.

(i)                
Resignation or discharge:

		--	The Non-Vested Portion of the Award shall be completely forfeited.

    	 	13	 

     

    

(ii)             
Normal Termination:

		--	The Non-Vested Portion of the Award shall be prorated for service during the Restricted Period and shall
be received as soon as practicable following termination.

(iii)           
Death:

		--	The Non-Vested Portion of the Award shall be prorated for service during the Restricted Period and paid
to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following death.

(e)              
Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Phantom Stock Units. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect
to any shares of Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award, a stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not
then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share) shall be delivered without
charge to the Holder, or his estate, free of all restrictions under the Plan.

Upon the expiration of
the Restricted Period with respect to any Phantom Stock Units covered by a Phantom Stock Unit Award, the Company shall deliver to the
Holder or his estate without any charge one share of Stock for each Phantom Stock Unit which has not then been forfeited and with respect
to which the Restricted Period has expired (“vested unit”) and cash equal to any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect
to each such vested unit and the interest thereon, if any; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to
pay cash or part cash and part Stock in lieu of delivering only Stock for vested units. If cash payment is made in lieu of delivering
Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value for the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect
to such vested unit.

(f)               
Payment for Restricted Stock. Except as provided in subparagraph 10(a)(ii), a Holder shall not be required to make any payment
for Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award.

10.             
General.

(a)              
Additional Provisions of an Award. The award of any benefit under the Plan may also be subject to such other provisions
(whether or not applicable to the benefit awarded to any other Participant) as the Committee determines appropriate including, without
limitation, provisions to assist the Participant in financing the purchase of Common Stock through the exercise of Options, provisions
for the forfeiture of or restrictions on resale or other disposition of shares acquired under any form of benefit, provisions giving the
Company the right to repurchase shares acquired under any form of benefit in the event the Participant elects to dispose of such shares,
and provisions to comply with Federal and state securities laws and Federal and state income tax withholding requirements.

(b)              
Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no person shall be entitled to the
privileges of stock ownership in respect of shares of stock which are subject to Options or Restricted Stock Awards, Performance Share
Unit Awards or Phantom Stock Unit Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that person upon exercise of an Option according
to its terms or upon sale or grant of those shares in accordance with a Restricted Stock Award, Performance Share Unit Award or Phantom
Stock Unit Award.

    	 	14	 

     

    

(c)              
Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of Awards in Stock or otherwise shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. The Company
shall be under no obligation to register under the Securities Act any of the shares of Stock issued under the Plan. If the shares issued
under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer
of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

(d)              
Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall have
the right to deduct from all Awards, to the extent paid in cash, all federal, state or local taxes as required by law to be withheld with
respect to such Awards and, in the case of Awards paid in Stock, the Holder or other person receiving such Stock may be required to pay
to the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate prior to delivery of such Stock, the amount of any such taxes which the Company or Subsidiary
is required to withhold, if any, with respect to such Stock. Subject in particular cases to the disapproval of the Committee, the Company
may accept shares of Stock of equivalent Fair Market Value in payment of such withholding tax obligations if the Holder of the Award elects
to make payment in such manner at least six months prior to the date such tax obligation is determined.

(e)              
Claim to Awards and Employment Rights. No employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award
under the Plan nor, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. Neither this Plan nor
any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary.

(f)               
Conditions. Each Participant to whom Awards are granted under the Plan shall be required to enter into an Incentive Plan
Agreement in a form authorized by the Committee, which may include provisions that the Participant shall not disclose any confidential
information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquired during the course of such Participant’s employment.

(g)              
Payments Upon Death of Participant. Upon the death of a Participant in the Plan, the Company shall pay the amounts payable
with respect to an Award of Performance Share Units, Phantom Share Units or Restricted Stock, if any, due under the Plan to the Participant's
estate.

(h)              
Payments to Persons Other than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under
the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person
or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative), may, if the Committee so directs
the Company, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person
deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete
discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

    	 	15	 

     

    

(i)                
No Liability of Committee Members. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other
instrument executed by such member or on his behalf in his capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made
in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Board and each other employee, officer or director
of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against
any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith; provided, however,
that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such person. The foregoing
right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify
them or hold them harmless.

(j)                
Governing Law. The Plan will be administered in accordance with federal laws, or in the absence thereof, the laws of the
State of Florida.

(k)              
Funding. Except as provided under Section 10, no provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying
any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise
to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of
a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Holders shall have no rights under the Plan other than as
unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation
by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law.

(l)                
Nontransferability. A person’s rights and interest under the Plan, including amounts payable, may not be sold, assigned,
donated or transferred or otherwise disposed of, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(m)            
Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee shall be fully justified in relying, acting or failing to act, and shall
not be liable for having so relied, acted or failed to act in good faith, upon any report made by the independent public accountant of
the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than
himself.

(n)              
Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under
any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except as otherwise specifically
provided.

    	 	16	 

     

    

(o)              
Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(p)              
Pronouns. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women.

(q)              
Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the
event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall control.

11.             
Changes in Capital Structure. Unless the Committee specifically determines otherwise, options, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards,
Phantom Stock Unit Awards, Performance Share Unit Awards, and any agreements evidencing such Awards, and Performance Goals, shall be subject
to adjustment or substitution as to the number, price or kind of a share of Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards or as
otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure
of the Company, or of any other corporation whose performance is relevant to the attainment of Performance Goals hereunder, by reason
of stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges or other relevant
changes in capitalization occurring after the Date of Grant of any such Award or (ii) in the event of any change in applicable laws or
any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available
for, Participants in the Plan, or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment because it interferes with the intended operation of the
Plan. In addition, unless the Committee specifically determines otherwise, in the event of any such adjustments or substitution, the aggregate
number of shares of Stock available under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.
Any adjustment in Incentive Stock Options under this Section 12 shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification”
within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code, and any adjustments under this Section 12 shall be made in a manner which does not
adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice
of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

12.             
Effect of Change in Control.

(a)              
In the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any vesting schedule provided for hereunder or by the Committee with respect
to an Award of Options, SARs, Phantom Stock Units or Restricted Stock, such Option or SAR shall become immediately exercisable with respect
to one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to such Option or SAR, and the Restricted Period shall expire immediately with respect
to one hundred percent (100%) of the Phantom Stock Units or shares of Restricted Stock subject to Restrictions; provided, however,
that to the extent that so accelerating the time an Incentive Stock Option may first be exercised would cause the limitation provided
in Section 7(f) to be exceeded, such Options shall instead first become exercisable in so many of the next following years as is necessary
to comply with such limitation.

    	 	17	 

     

    

(b)              
In the event of a Change in Control, all incomplete Award Periods in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end
on the date of such change, and the Committee shall, (i) determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to each such Award
Period have been met based upon such audited or unaudited financial information then available as it deems relevant, (ii) cause to be
paid to each Participant partial or full Awards with respect to Performance Goals for each such Award Period based upon the Committee’s
determination of the degree of attainment of Performance Goals, and (iii) cause all previously deferred Awards to be settled in full as
soon as possible.

(c)              
The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially
all of the assets and business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate provisions for the preservation of Participant’s
rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger, consolidation, reorganization
or transfer of assets.

13.             
Payment to Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Participant is determined
to be a specified employee as described in Code Section 409A(2)(B), then payments to the Participant may not be made before the date that
is six (6) months after the Participant's separation from service.

14.             
Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the shareowners
of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements
as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements
may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

15.             
Amendments and Termination.

(a)              
The Committee may, without further action by the shareowners and without receiving further consideration from the participants,
amend this Plan or condition or modify awards under this Plan in response to changes in securities or other laws or rules, regulations
or regulatory interpretations thereof applicable to this Plan or to comply with applicable self-regulatory organization rules or requirements.

(b)              
The Committee may at any time and from time to time terminate or modify or amend the Plan in any respect, except that, without
shareowner approval, the Committee may not materially amend the Plan, including, but not limited to, the following:

(i)                
materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan (other than pursuant to Sections 12 and 16(a));

(ii)             
materially increase benefits to participants, including any material change to (A) permit a repricing (or decrease in exercise
price) of outstanding Stock Options, (B) reduce the price at which Stock Options may be offered, or (C) extend the duration of the Plan;

    	 	18	 

     

    

(iii)           
materially expand the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan; and

(iv)            
expand the types of Stock Options or other awards provided under the Plan.

(c)              
The termination or any modification or amendment of the Plan, except as provided in subsection (a), shall not without the consent
of a participant, affect his or her rights under an award previously granted to him or her.

 

As adopted by the Board of Directors

and the Shareowners,

effective as of April 27, 2021
