 3 

 “Over-Achievement Award” means for any Participant, an amount equal to the result of
(a) the Participant’s Target Over-Achievement Award multiplied by (b) the Over-Achievement Award Pool established for a Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, each Over-Achievement Award is subject to a cap of
one-hundred percent (100%) of the sum of (x) the Participant’s Target Bonus under this Plan (i.e., the corporate performance bonus) plus (y) the Participant’s target bonus for management-by-results performance (i.e., the MBR
bonus) under the Company’s plan titled “Annual Executive Bonus Plan—Individual Performance” (the “Individual Performance Plan”). Each Over-Achievement Award shall consist of a Current Portion and a Banked
Portion. 
 An example of the calculation of a Participant’s Over-Achievement Award is as follows. Assume that the Participant’s
Target Over-Achievement Award is 6.67% of the Over-Achievement Award Pool and that the Over-Achievement Award Pool is $1,500,000. Further assume that the Participant’s Target Bonus under this Plan is $75,000 and the Participant’s target
bonus under the Individual Performance Plan is $25,000 for a total target bonus of $100,000. The Over-Achievement Award would be calculated as follows: (a) 6.67% multiplied by (b) $1,500,000 equals $100,500. In this example, the
Participant’s Over-Achievement Award is $100,000 since the calculated Over-Achievement Award ($100,500) exceeds the cap ($100,000) by $500. 
 “Over-Achievement Award Pool” means the incentive pool established pursuant to Section 3.4. 
 “Participant” means, as to any Performance Period, an Employee who has been approved by the Committee for participation in the Plan for that Performance Period. 
 “Payout Formula” means, as to any Performance Period, the formula or payout matrix established by the Committee in order to determine
the Actual Bonuses (if any) to be paid to Participants. The formula or matrix may differ from Participant to Participant. The formula or matrix may contain adjustments to account for acquisitions during the Performance Period, provided that such
adjustments shall be set forth in writing in a manner that would enable a third-party having knowledge of the relevant facts to apply such adjustments to calculate the payout of any Participant. 
 “Performance Goals” means the goals (or combined goals) approved by the Committee to be applicable to a Participant for a Target Bonus
for a Performance Period. As approved by the Committee, the Performance Goals for any Target Bonus applicable to a Participant may provide for a targeted level or levels of achievement using one or more of the following measures: (a) Cash
Position; (b) Controllable Profits; (c) Days Sales Outstanding; (d) Earnings Per Share; (e) EBITDA; (f) Free Cash Flow; (g) Inventory Reduction; (h) Net Income; (i) New Orders; (j) Operating Cash Flow;
(k) Operating Income; (l) Return on Assets; (m) Return on Equity; (n) Return on Sales; (o) Revenue; and (p) Total Shareholder Return. Performance Goals may differ from Participant to Participant, from Performance Period
to Performance Period, and from bonus to bonus. Any criteria used may be measured, as applicable, (a) in absolute terms, (b) in relative terms (including without limitation by the passage of time and/or against another company or
companies), (c) on a per-share basis, (d) against the performance of the Company as a whole or a segment of the Company, (e) on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, and/or (f) on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis. Prior to the Determination
Date, the Committee shall determine whether any elements shall be included in or excluded from the calculation of any Performance Goal with respect to any Participant. 
 “Performance Period” means any Fiscal Year. 
 “Plan” means the Mercury
Computer Systems, Inc. Annual Executive Bonus Plan—Corporate Financial Performance, as set forth in this instrument and as hereafter amended from time to time.

between the Participant and the Company in connection with the Participant’s retirement on or after attaining the minimum age, completing the minimum number of years of service, and satisfying all other conditions specified for retirement
status under the Company’s retirement policy statement effective October 25, 2002 (or any successor policy thereto).

unit’s Operating Income before incentive compensation, divided by average net Company or business unit, as applicable, assets, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, provided, however, that prior to the

 “Return on Equity” means the percentage equal to the Company’s Net Income divided by average shareholder’s equity, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
provided, however, that prior to the Determination Date, the Committee shall determine whether any items shall be excluded or included from such calculation with respect to one or more Participants. 
 “Return on Sales” means the percentage equal to the Company’s or a business unit’s Operating Income before incentive

 SECTION 3 
 SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS
AND DETERMINATION OF AWARDS AND BONUSES 
 3.1 Selection of Participants. The Committee shall select Employees who shall be
Participants for any Performance Period. The Committee also may designate as Participants one or more individuals (by name or position) who are expected to become Employees during a Performance Period. Participation in the Plan shall be determined
by the Committee on a Performance-Period-by-Performance-Period basis. Accordingly, an Employee who is a Participant for a given Performance Period is in no way guaranteed or assured of being selected for participation in any subsequent Performance
Period. 
 3.2 Determination of Performance Goals for Target Bonus. On or prior to the Determination Date, the Committee shall approve
(a) the Performance Goals with respect to the Target Bonus for all eligible Participants 

  

 5 

 
for the Performance Period, (b) a Target Bonus for each Participant, and (c) a Payout Formula or Formulae for purposes of determining the Actual
Bonus (if any) payable to each Participant. Each Payout Formula shall (a) be in writing, (b) be based on a comparison of actual performance to the Performance Goals, or (c) provide for the payment of all or a portion of a
Participant’s Target Bonus, depending upon the extent to which actual performance meets or falls below the Performance Goals. 
 3.3
Over-Achievement Award Pool. 
 a. No later than the Determination Date, the Committee shall establish in writing the budgeted
Operating Income for the Performance Period and the formula for determining the size of the Over-Achievement Award Pool for such Performance Period. The size of the Over-Achievement Award Pool shall be determined by reference to the amount of the
actual Operating Income for the Performance Period in excess of the budgeted Operating Income for such Performance Period. The Committee may include Operating Income from acquisitions completed during the Performance Period in the Operating Income
for such Performance Period only if the following criteria are satisfied: (a) the acquisition is in line with the Company’s core business strategy as determined by the Board in its sole discretion; (b) the Company must satisfy its
organic Revenue target for the Performance Period without including Revenue derived from the acquisition; and (c) the acquisition must be accretive to the Company’s Operating Income for the Performance Period. If the Operating Income for a
Performance Period includes Operating Income derived from an acquisition, such Operating Income may not exclude fees and other expenses, including without limitation financing, accounting, legal, and other fees incurred in connection with the
acquisition during the related Performance Period, that would be included in such Operating Income under generally accepted accounting principles. 
 b. The Committee shall grant in writing to each Participant a Target Over-Achievement Award representing a percentage of the Over-Achievement Award Pool to be established for such Performance Period. In no event shall Target
Over-Achievement Awards for any Performance Period represent more than one-hundred percent (100%) of the Over-Achievement Award Pool for such Performance Period. 
 3.4 Determination of Over-Achievement Award Pool and Over-Achievement Awards. After the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the Operating Income for
such Performance Period exceeds the budgeted Operating Income for such Performance Period, shall establish the Over-Achievement Award Pool, if any, based on the formula established pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and determine each
Participant’s Over-Achievement Award. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may (a) eliminate or reduce the Over-Achievement Award payable to any Participant and (b) eliminate or
reduce the size of the Over-Achievement Award Pool. 
 3.5 Determination of Actual Bonuses. After the end of each Performance Period,
the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the Performance Goals applicable to each participant for the Performance Period were achieved. The Actual Bonus for each Participant shall be determined by applying the Payout Formula to the
level of actual performance that has been certified by the Committee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate or reduce the Actual Bonus payable to any Participant below that which
otherwise would be payable under the Payout Formula, including discretion that is exercised through the establishment of additional objective goals. 
 3.6 Maximum Payment. In no event shall payment to any individual Participant under the Plan with respect to any Performance Period exceed $2,000,000. 
 SECTION 4 
 PAYMENT OF AWARDS AND BONUSES 
 4.1 Right to Receive Payment. Each Over-Achievement Award and Actual Bonus that may become payable under the Plan shall be paid solely from
the general assets of the Company or the Affiliate that employs the 

  

 6 

 
Participant (as the case may be), as determined by the Committee. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any
Participant’s claim of any right to payment of an Over-Achievement Award or Actual Bonus other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled. 
 4.2 Form of Payment. Each payment under the Plan shall be in cash. 
 4.3 Timing of Payments. 
 a. Payment
of each Actual Bonus shall be made as soon as administratively practical but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days following the end of the applicable Performance Period. 
 b. Payment of each Over-Achievement Award shall be as follows: (i) the Current Portion shall be paid in no event later than seventy-five
(75) days following the end of the applicable Performance Period; and (ii) the Banked Portion shall be paid in three equal payments, a single payment to be made within seventy-five (75) days of the end of the Company’s Fiscal
Year during each of the second, third, and fourth Fiscal Years following the end of the Performance Period during which such portion was earned. 
 4.4 Employment at Time of Payment. Unless otherwise set forth herein or determined by the Committee, a Participant must be employed on the date an Over-Achievement Award or Actual Bonus is to be paid. 
 4.5 Proration. The Committee has the discretion to pro rate awards if a Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the
end of the Performance Period or if a Participant is employed by the Company for less than the entire Performance Period. 
 4.6
Termination due to Death, Disability, Planned Retirement, Termination without Cause, and Resignation for Good Reason. In the event of a Participant’s (a) death, (b) Disability, (c) Planned Retirement, (d) termination
without Cause, or (e) resignation for Good Reason, the Participant shall be entitled to a prorated portion of his or her Over-Achievement Award (Current Portion and Banked Portion) and Actual Bonus for the current Performance Period, subject to
satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals and establishment of the Over-Achievement Award Pool, if any, based on the number of days worked during the current Performance Period prior to the Termination of Employment. In addition, each such
Participant shall be entitled to receive any Over-Achievement Awards and Actual Bonus earned for a prior Performance Period, to the extent not paid, including the Banked Portions of any Over-Achievement Awards. Such payments shall be made as soon as
administratively practicable and in no event later than seventy-five (75) days following the end of the Performance Period in which the Termination of Employment occurred. 
 4.7 Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Plan
constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment, then such payments or benefits shall be
payable only upon the Participant’s “Separation from Service.” The term “Separation from Service” shall mean the Participant’s “separation from service” from the Company, an affiliate of the Company or a
successor entity within the meaning set forth in Section 409A of the Code, determined in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). If the Participant is considered a “specified
employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and amounts payable under this Plan are considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, no payments will be paid during the six-month period following the
Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 SECTION 5 
 ADMINISTRATION 
 5.1 Committee is the Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by
the Committee. The Committee shall consist of not less than two (2) members of the Board. Each member of the Committee shall qualify as an 

  

 7 

 
“outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Code. If it is later determined that one or more members of the Committee do not so qualify,
actions taken by the Committee prior to such determination shall be valid despite such failure to qualify. 
 5.2 Committee
Authority. It shall be the duty of the Committee to administer the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s provisions; provided, however, that any determinations regarding the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in
the Plan, and any awards or payments to such Chief Executive Officer under the Plan, shall be ratified by a majority of the independent directors on the Board who also qualify as “outside directors” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, (e) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (f) interpret, amend, or revoke any such
rules. 
 5.3 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the Committee, the Board, and any delegate of the
Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. 
 5.4 Delegation by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more
directors and/or officers of the Company, provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority and/or powers with respect to awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

 SECTION 6

PROVISIONS 
 6.1 Tax Withholding. The Company or an Affiliate, as determined by the Committee, shall withhold all applicable
taxes from any Over-Achievement Award and Actual Bonus, including any federal, state, and local taxes (including without limitation the Participant’s FICA obligations). 
 6.2 No Effect on Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate, as
applicable, to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without Cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates)
shall not be deemed a Termination of Employment. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. The Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and without regard to when during or after a
Performance Period such exercise occurs, to terminate any individual’s employment with or without Cause, and to treat him or her without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant.

Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any
claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any award or bonus, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by him or her
in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any 

  

 8 

 
judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to
handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. 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 By-Laws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
 6.5 Successors. All obligations of the Company and any Affiliate under the Plan, with respect to awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any
successor to the Company and/or such Affiliate, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company or such
Affiliate. 
 6.6 Beneficiary Designations. If permitted by the Committee, a Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid award or bonus shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and
manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. 
 6.7 Nontransferability of Awards and Bonuses. No award or bonus granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise

 7.1 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The
Board or the Committee, each in its sole discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter

 SECTION 3 
 SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS AND DETERMINATION OF BONUSES 
 3.1 Selection of Participants. The Committee shall review and approve the Chief Executive Officer’s selection of Employees who shall be
Participants for any Performance Period. The Committee, based on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, also may designate as Participants one or more individuals (by name or position) who are expected to become Employees during a
Performance Period. Participation in the Plan shall be determined by the Committee on a Performance-Period-by-Performance-Period basis. Accordingly, an Employee who is a Participant for a given Performance Period is in no way guaranteed or assured
of being selected for participation in any subsequent Performance Period. 
 3.2 Determination of Performance Goals. The Committee
shall review and approve the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendation of the performance goals for all eligible Participants for the Performance Period. Such performance goals shall be set forth in writing. The performance goals shall be
individual “management by results” performance objectives and the Committee may make subjective judgments regarding the degree to which each Participant has satisfied his or her performance goals. The Chief Executive Officer, without the
review and approval of the Committee, but with notice to the Committee, may modify the performance goals, or the relative weighting of the performance goals, during the Performance Period to reflect changes in business conditions and Company
priorities. The Committee, subject to ratification by a majority of the independent directors on the Board, may modify the performance goals, or the relative weighting of the performance goals, for the Chief Executive Officer to earn a bonus during
the Performance Period to reflect changes in business conditions and Company priorities. 
 3.3 Determination of Target
Bonuses. The Committee shall review and approve the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendation of a Target Bonus for each Participant. Each Participant’s Target Bonus shall be determined by the Committee, and each Target Bonus shall
be set forth in writing. 
 3.4 Determination of Actual Bonuses. After the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall
certify in writing the extent to which the performance goals applicable to each Participant for the Performance Period were achieved or exceeded. 
 SECTION 4 
 PAYMENT OF BONUSES 
 4.1 Right to Receive Payment. Each Actual Bonus that may become payable under the Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company or the Affiliate that employs the Participant (as the case
may be), as determined by the Committee. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right to payment of an Actual Bonus other than as an unsecured general creditor with
respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled. 
 4.2 Form of Payment. Each payment under the Plan shall be in cash.

 4.3 Timing of Payments. Payment of each Actual Bonus shall be made as soon as administratively practical but in no event later
than seventy-five (75) days following the end of the applicable Performance Period. 
  

 3 

 4.4 Employment at Time of Payment. Unless otherwise set forth herein, a Participant must be
employed on the date an Actual Bonus is to be paid. The Chief Executive Officer may make exceptions to this requirement in his or her sole discretion. 
 4.5 Proration. The Chief Executive Officer has the discretion to pro rate bonuses if a Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the end of the Performance Period or if a Participant
is employed by the Company for less than the entire Performance Period. 
 4.6 Termination due to Death, Disability, Planned Retirement,
Termination without Cause, and Resignation for Good Reason. In the event of a Participant’s (a) death, (b) Disability, (c) Planned Retirement, (d) termination without Cause, or (e) resignation for Good Reason, the
Participant shall be entitled to a prorated portion of his or her Actual Bonus for the current Performance Period, subject to satisfaction of the applicable performance goals, based on the number of days worked during the current Performance Period
prior to the Termination of Employment. In addition, each such Participant shall be entitled to receive any Actual Bonus earned for a prior Performance Period, to the extent not paid. Such payments shall be made as soon as administratively
practicable and in no event later than seventy-five (75) days following the end of the Performance Period in which the Termination of Employment occurred. 
 4.7 Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Plan constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Participant’s “Separation from
Service.” The term “Separation from Service” shall mean the Participant’s “separation from service” from the Company, an affiliate of the Company or a successor entity within the meaning set forth in Section 409A
of the Code, determined in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). If the Participant is considered a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and amounts
payable under this Plan are considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, no payments will be paid during the six-month period following the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 SECTION 5 
 ADMINISTRATION

 5.1 Committee is the Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall consist of not
less than two (2) members of the Board. Each member of the Committee shall qualify as an “outside director” under section 162(m) of the Code. If it is later determined that one or more members of the Committee do not so qualify,
actions taken by the Committee prior to such determination shall be valid despite such failure to qualify. 
 5.2 Committee
Authority. It shall be the duty of the Committee to administer the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s provisions; provided, however, that any determinations regarding the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in
the Plan, and any bonuses or payments to such Chief Executive Officer under the Plan, shall be ratified by a majority of the independent directors on the Board. The Committee shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to
administer the Plan and to control its operation, including without limitation the power to (a) review and approve which Employees shall be granted bonuses based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, (b) review and
approve the terms and conditions of bonuses based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, (c) interpret the Plan and the bonuses, (d) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or appropriate to permit
participation in the Plan by Employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, (e) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (f) interpret,
amend, or revoke any such rules.

 5.3 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the Committee, the Board, and
any delegate of the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. 
 5.4 Delegation by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all
or part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more directors and/or officers of the Company. 
 SECTION 6 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 6.1 Tax
Withholding. The Company or an Affiliate, as determined by the Committee, shall withhold all applicable taxes from any Actual Bonus, including any federal, state, and local taxes (including without limitation the Participant’s FICA
obligations). 
 6.2 No Effect on Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the
Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without Cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates
(or between Affiliates) shall not be deemed a Termination of Employment. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. The Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and without regard to
when during or after a Performance Period such exercise occurs, to terminate any individual’s employment with or without Cause, and to treat him or her without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him or her as a
Participant. 
 6.3 Participation. No Employee shall have the right to be selected to receive a bonus under this Plan, or, having
been so selected, to be selected to receive a future bonus. 
 6.4 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a
member of the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any bonus, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by
him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at
its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. 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 By-Laws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
 6.5 Successors. All obligations of the Company and any Affiliate under the Plan, with respect to bonuses granted hereunder, shall be binding on
any successor to the Company and/or such Affiliate, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company or
such Affiliate. 
 6.6 Beneficiary Designations. If permitted by the Committee, a Participant under the Plan may name a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid bonus shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form
and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

 6.7 Nontransferability of Bonuses. No bonus granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to the limited extent provided in Section 6.6. All rights with respect to a bonus granted to a Participant shall be
available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant. 
 SECTION 7 
 AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, AND DURATION 
 7.1 Amendment, Suspension, or
Termination. The Board or the Committee, each in its sole discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent
