McDonald's Excess Benefit and Deferred Bonus Plan, effective January 1, 2008

 EXHIBIT 10(b) 
 McDONALD’S EXCESS BENEFIT 
 AND DEFERRED BONUS PLAN 
 Section 1 
 Introduction

 1.1    The Plan. McDonald’s Corporation (the “Company”) hereby amends and restates the
McDonald’s Excess Benefit and Deferred Bonus Plan, as set forth herein, effective January 1, 2008 (the “Plan”). The Plan was initially established effective January 1, 2005, and subsequently amended and restated effective as
of January 1, 2005, as a successor plan to the McDonald’s Corporation Supplemental Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”). The Supplemental Plan was amended in response to the enactment of Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to suspend deferrals into that plan for years after 2004. 
 1.2    Applicability. The provisions of this Plan, as herein amended and restated, shall apply to amounts credited to Participants’ Accounts on or after January 1, 2008; provided, however, that the terms
of the Plan in effect from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007 shall apply to distributions from the Accounts of any Participant who had a separation from service (as defined under the terms of the Plan in effect at from January 1,
2005 to December 31, 2007) on or after January 1, 2005 and prior to January 1, 2008. 
 1.3    Purposes
and Features of Plan. 
  

	 	(a)	The purposes of the Plan are (i) to provide a select group of employees with the opportunity to elect to defer compensation under the “Deferred Bonus Feature” of the
Plan, and (ii) to provide a select group of employees who participate in the McDonald’s Corporation Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the “Profit Sharing Plan”) with deferred compensation under the “Excess 401(k)
Contributions Feature” of the Plan in excess of the maximum amount of 401(k) contributions and matching employer contributions that may be contributed on their behalf under the Profit Sharing Plan, absent the Limits described in
Section 3.2(d) below. 

  

	 	(b)	The “Participants” in each feature of the Plan will be a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company or an Adopting Subsidiary. The
Participants in the Deferred Bonus Feature are described in Section 2 below. The “Participants” in the Excess 401(k) Contributions Feature are described in Section 3 below. 

 1.4    Administration. The Plan shall be administered by a committee of three officers of the Company (the
“Committee”), the members of which shall be appointed from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”). The Committee shall have the powers set forth in the
Plan and the power to interpret its provisions. Any decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all persons with regard to the Plan. 
 1.5    Compliance with Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and final regulations, rulings and other applicable guidance issued thereunder
(collectively, “Section 409A”), and shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. 

 1.6    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Plan that are not defined
herein have the same meaning as the same term in the applicable Profit Sharing Plan. An index of terms defined in the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
 Section 2 
 Deferred Bonus Feature: Participation and Deferral Elections

 2.1    Eligibility and Participation. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan, an
individual shall be eligible to participate in the Deferred Bonus Feature of the Plan for a calendar year (a “Deferred Bonus Eligible Employee”) if, on the applicable Election Due Date (as defined in Section 4.1) for such year, the
individual is an employee of the Company who is in the Senior Direction Compensation Band of the Company or above (or an employee of an Adopting Subsidiary who is in a comparable compensation band). Any Deferred Bonus Eligible Employee who, in
accordance with Sections 2.3 and 4 below, makes an Annual Bonus Deferral Election (as described in Section 2.2(a) below) or a Long-Term Bonus Deferral Election (as described in Section 2.2(b) below) shall become a Participant and shall
remain a Participant until the entire balance of the Participant’s Account is distributed. 
 2.2    Deferral
Elections. Subject to Sections 2.3 and 4 below: 
  

	 	(a)	Any Deferred Bonus Eligible Employee may make an election (an “Annual Bonus Deferral Election”) to defer receipt of all or any portion (in 1% increments) of the annual
performance-based incentive compensation (an “Annual Bonus”) that he or she may receive for a particular year under the McDonald’s Target Incentive Plan, any successor annual bonus plan of the Company, or any annual bonus plan of an
Adopting Subsidiary, in which the Deferred Bonus Eligible Employee participates (collectively, the “Annual Bonus Plan”). 

  

	 	(b)	Any Deferred Bonus Eligible Employee may make an election (a “Long-Term Bonus Deferral Election”) to defer receipt of all or any portion (in 1% increments) of the
long-term cash performance-based compensation (“Long-Term Cash Bonus”) that he or she may receive for a particular performance cycle under the McDonald’s Cash Performance Unit Plan, any successor long-term cash bonus plan of the
Company, or any long-term cash bonus plan of an Adopting Subsidiary, in which the Deferred Bonus Eligible Employee participates (collectively, the “Long-Term Cash Bonus Plan”). 

  

	 	(c)	No other forms of compensation, including, but not limited to, sign on bonuses, officers’ discretionary bonuses, severance or exit bonuses or restricted stock units, may be
deferred under the Deferred Bonus Feature of the Plan. 

 The amounts deferred by a Participant pursuant to this
Section 2.2 shall be credited to the Participant’s Account in accordance with Section 5.1. 
 2.3    Rules for Bonus Deferral Elections. Bonus Deferral Elections shall be made in accordance with Section 4 below. Participants shall make separate Annual Bonus Deferral Elections and Long-Term Bonus
Deferral Elections. The first Annual Bonuses that may be deferred pursuant to an Annual Bonus Deferral Election made under Section 2.2(a) of this amendment and restatement of the Plan shall be the Annual Bonus for 2007 that, in the absence of a
Bonus Deferral Election, would be paid in the first quarter of 2008. The first Long-Term Cash Bonus payable under the Long-Term Cash Bonus Plan that may be deferred pursuant to a Long-Term Bonus Deferral Election made under Section 2.2(b) shall
be the Long-Term Cash Bonus payable with respect to the 2007-2009 performance cycle. 
 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
an Annual Bonus may be deferred pursuant to an Annual Bonus Deferral Election only if and to the extent such Annual Bonus qualifies as 

 
“performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), unless such Annual Bonus is payable to a
Participant who participates in the McDonald’s Corporation Executive Retention Replacement Plan (the “ERRP”). 
 Section
3 
 Excess 401(k) Contributions Feature of Plan: 
 Participation and Deferral Elections 
 3.1    Eligibility and Participation. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan, an individual shall be eligible to participate in the Excess 401(k) Contributions Feature of the Plan (an “Excess
401(k) Contributions Eligible Employee”) for a calendar year (the “Specified Year”) if: 
  

	 	(a)	the individual (i) is an employee of the Company in the Direction Compensation Band of the Company or above (or an employee of an Adopting Subsidiary in a comparable
compensation band) on the Election Due Date for such Specified Year, and (ii) is eligible to participate in the employer matching contribution feature under the Profit Sharing Plan of January 1 of the Specified Year;

  

	 	(b)	the individual has Annualized Compensation (as defined below) determined as of a date within the calendar year preceding the Specified Year as determined by the Committee (the
“Compensation Determination Date”) in an amount that exceeds the applicable dollar amount in effect under Code Section 414(q)(1)(B)(i) for the year preceding the Specified Year; and 

  

	 	(c)	the individual has Compensation (as defined in Section 3.2(c)) during the Specified Year. 

 An employee’s “Annualized Compensation” shall equal the sum of the employee’s annual base salary as of the Compensation Determination
Date plus the employee’s Annual Bonus received under an Annual Bonus Plan in the year that includes the Compensation Determination Date (in each case determined without regard to the employee’s elective deferrals under this Plan, the
Profit Sharing Plan or otherwise). 
 Any Excess 401(k) Contributions Eligible Employee who makes an Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral
Election in accordance with the requirements of Sections 3.3 and 4 below and whose Account is thereafter credited with amounts pursuant to Section 3.2 below, shall become a Participant and shall remain a Participant until the entire balance of
the Participant’s Account is distributed. 
 3.2    Benefits. 
  

	 	(a)	 Each Excess 401(k) Contributions Eligible Employee may make an election (an “Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Election”) for a Specified Year to defer
receipt of the percentage (in 1% increments) of his or her Compensation (as defined in Section 3.2(c) below) specified in his or her Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Election. An Excess 401(k) Contributions Eligible Employee’s Excess
401(k) Contributions Deferral Election will be treated both as an Annual Deferral Election (as defined in Section 4.1(a)) under this Plan and as a 401(k) election under the Profit Sharing Plan. The amounts deferred pursuant to an Excess 401(k)
Contributions Deferral Election are referred to as “Elective Deferrals.” A Participant’s Elective Deferrals for a Specified Year will first be contributed to the Profit Sharing Plan as 401(k) contributions in accordance with the terms
of the Profit Sharing Plan until the amounts so contributed reach the Limits (as defined in Section 3.2(d) below) for the Specified Year. The Participant’s Elective Deferrals in excess of the Limits for 

	 	 
such Specified Year shall be credited to his or her Account pursuant to Section 5.1. 

  

	 	(b)	The Account of each Excess 401(k) Contributions Eligible Employee who makes an Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Election for a Specified Year shall also be credited with an
amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount of matching employer contributions that would be allocated to the Participant’s accounts under the applicable Profit Sharing Plan for the Specified Year if the entire amount of his or her
Elective Deferrals for the Specified Year had been contributed to the applicable Profit Sharing Plan and the Limits did not apply, over (ii) the amount of matching employer contributions actually allocated to his or her accounts under the
applicable Profit Sharing Plan for the Specified Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant ceases to be an eligible employee under the Profit Sharing Plan prior to the first day of a Specified Year, the matching employer contributions
for such Specified Year will be determined with regard to “Mandatory 401(k) Match” but without regard to the “Discretionary 401(k) Match” (as those terms are defined is the Profit Sharing Plan) for such Specified Year.

  

	 	(c)	For purposes of this Section 3, “Compensation” means compensation as defined in the applicable Profit Sharing Plan, but determined without regard to the limitations
imposed under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code; provided, however, that if an Excess 401(k) Contributions Eligible Employee has made an Annual Bonus Deferral Election under Section 2 for a Specified Year, (i) for purposes of determining
the amount of a Participant’s Elective Deferrals for the Specified Year, his or her Compensation will not include the portion of any Annual Bonus paid during the Specified Year that was deferred pursuant to his or her Annual Bonus Deferral
Election for such Specified Year; and (ii) for purposes of determining the amount of the Participant’s matching employer contributions described in Section 3.2(b)(i) for the Specified Year, the Participant’s Compensation will be
determined without regard to his or her Annual Bonus Deferral Election for such Specified Year. In addition, for purposes of determining the amount of a Participant’s Elective Deferrals for a Specified Year, his or her Compensation for such
Specified Year will include the portion, if any, of his or her Annual Bonus paid during the Specified Year even if the Participant has ceased to be an eligible employee under the Profit Sharing Plan prior to the payment of such Annual Bonus.

  

	 	(d)	For purposes of this Plan, the “Limits” means the limitations imposed on the maximum amount of elective contributions and matching contributions that may be contributed on
behalf of the Excess 401(k) Contributions Eligible Employee under the Profit Sharing Plan as a result of the application of the maximum aggregate contributions imposed under Code Section 415, the maximum amount of compensation that may be taken
into account under Code Section 401(a)(17) and the maximum amount of elective deferrals imposed under Code Section 402(g). 

 3.3    Rules for Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Election. An Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Eligible Employee shall receive the benefits provided for in Section 3.2 for a Specified Year only if he
or she makes an Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Election in accordance with Section 4 below to participate in the Excess 401(k) Contributions Feature of the Plan and to make 401(k) contributions under the applicable Profit Sharing Plan for
the Specified Year. The first Specified Year under this Plan shall be the 2005 calendar year. 

 Section 4 
 Rules for Deferral Elections 
 4.1    Timing for Deferral
Elections. For purposes of this Section, the term “Deferral Election” shall refer to Annual Bonus Deferral Elections, Long-Term Bonus Deferral Elections and Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Elections, collectively. 
  

	 	(a)	Annual Bonus Deferral Elections and Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Elections. All Annual Bonus Deferral Elections and Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Elections
(collectively the “Annual Deferral Elections”) for a specified year must be returned to the Committee no later than the date specified for such year by the Committee (the “Election Due Date”), but in no event later than:
(i) in the case of an Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Election, June 30 of the calendar year prior to the Specified Year and (ii) in the case of an Annual Bonus, the date that is six months prior to the last day of the
performance period for which the Annual Bonus is earned. 

  

	 	(b)	Special Election Due Date for Executive Retention Replacement Plan Participants. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1(a) of the Plan to the contrary, if a
Participant participates in the ERRP, the Election Due Date shall be no later than (i) in the case of an Excess 401(k) Contributions Deferral Election, December 31 of the second calendar year preceding the Specified Year and (ii) in
the case of an Annual Bonus (including an Annual Bonus that fails to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e)), December 31 of the year immediately preceding the year in
which the performance period for which the Annual Bonus is earned begins. 

  

	 	(c)	Long-Term Bonus Deferral Elections. The Long-Term Bonus Deferral Election for the Long-Term Cash Bonus payable with respect to any performance cycle must be returned to the
Committee no later than the Election Due Date specified by the Committee with respect to such performance cycle, but in no event later than: (i) June 30, 2008 for the Long-Term Cash Bonus payable with respect to the 2007-2009 performance
cycle, or (ii) with respect to any other Long-Term Cash Bonus, by December 31 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the performance cycle for such Long-Term Cash Bonus begins. 

 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, each Deferral Election shall become irrevocable by the Participant or the Company after the
Election Due Date applicable to such Deferral Election. Each Annual Deferral Election shall apply only to the year for which such Annual Deferral Election was made. Each Long-Term Bonus Deferral Election shall apply only to the Long-Term Cash Bonus
with respect to which such Long-Term Bonus Deferral Election was made. 
 4.2    Payment Form Election. At the
time a Participant makes a Deferral Election, the Participant must also elect to receive distributions of the amounts credited to his or her Account pursuant to such Deferral Election (and any investment earnings credited thereto) either in the form
of a single lump sum or in installments. A separate distribution form election will be made with respect to each Deferral Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts deferred pursuant to any Deferral Election made on or before
December 31, 2004 (and the investment earnings credited thereto) will be distributed in a single lump sum. If a Participant fails to elect a form of distribution in a Deferral Election, all amounts credited to the Participant’s Account
pursuant to such Deferral Election will be distributed in a single lump sum. 
 The first time that a Participant elects to have any portion
of the amounts credited to his or her Account under this Plan distributed in the form of installments, the Participant must also elect the frequency of the installment payments (i.e., monthly, quarterly or annual) and the duration of the
installment payments (up to a maximum of 15 years). Once a Participant elects the frequency and duration 

 
of installment payments, such election shall be irrevocable and will apply to all installments payable to the Participant under this Plan. 
 Except as provided in Section 6.1 or 6.2, a payment form election made pursuant to this Section 4.2 with respect to the amounts credited to a
Participant’s Account deferred pursuant to a Deferral Election shall be irrevocable. 
 Section 5 
 Accounts 
 5.1    Accounts. 
  

	 	(a)	A bookkeeping account shall be established in each Participant’s name (an “Account”). The Account of each individual who is a Participant in both the Deferred Bonus
Feature and the Excess 401(k) Contributions Feature of the Plan shall be divided into two subaccounts, one representing the amounts credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 2 above of the Plan, and the other representing
the amounts credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 3 above, in each case, as adjusted pursuant to Section 5.2 below and as a result of distributions from the Account. The Participant’s Accounts shall be further
subdivided into (i) a lump sum subaccount to which shall be credited amounts that the Participant has elected to receive in the form of a single lump sum payment when the Account is distributed, and (ii) an installment subaccount to which
shall be credited amounts that the Participant has elected to receive in the form of installments when the Account is distributed. 

  

	 	(b)	The Participants’ Accounts may be further subdivided as the Committee may from time to time determine to be necessary or appropriate, including without limitation, to reflect
different sources of credits to the Accounts and different deemed investments thereof and to distinguish between amounts deferred by a Participant hereunder with respect to periods of employment prior to his or her separation from service within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a “Separation from Service”) and amounts deferred after such Participant resumes active employment with the Company or an Adopting Subsidiary. 

  

	 	(c)	Amounts deferred pursuant to a Deferral Election shall be credited to the applicable Account as of the date the Participant would otherwise have received the deferred amounts in the
absence of a Deferral Election. Any amount credited under the Excess 401(k) Contributions Feature of the Plan shall be credited to the applicable Account as of the date the amount would have been allocated under the applicable Profit Sharing Plan if
the Limits had not applied. Adjustments of a Participant’s various subaccounts to reflect investment experience and distributions shall in all cases be done on a pro-rata basis, and such subaccounts shall be treated in the same manner for all
other purposes of the Plan, except as specifically provided in Section 9.2 below. 

 5.2    Investment Elections and Earnings Credits. 
  

	 	(a)	Each Participant in the Plan shall be permitted from time to time to make an investment election regarding the manner in which his or her Account shall be deemed invested. Subject
to the following, the Committee shall establish and communicate to Participants the investment choices that will be available to Participants and the procedures for making and changing investment elections, as it may from time to time determine to
be appropriate. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant’s investment election may be split among the available choices in increments of 1%, totaling 100%. 

	 	(b)	As of January 1, 2008, the available investment choices under the Plan are: 

  

	 	(i)	a rate of return based upon the McDonald’s Common Stock Fund under the Profit Sharing Plan, after adjustment for expenses under the Plan (the “Excess McDonald’s
Common Stock Return”); 

  

	 	(ii)	a rate of return based upon the Stable Value Fund under the Profit Sharing Plan, after adjustment for expenses under the Plan (the “Excess Stable Value Return”); and

  

	 	(iii)	a rate of return based upon the S&P 500 Index Fund under the Profit Sharing Plan, after adjustment for expenses under the Plan (the “Excess S&P 500 Index Return”).

  

	 	(c)	For any period during which a Participant has failed to make an investment election, the Participant’s Account shall be credited with the Excess Stable Value Return. A
Participant’s investment election will continue in effect until the Participant files a new investment election. 

 5.3    Vesting. A Participant shall be fully vested at all times in the balance of his or her Account. 
 Section 6 
 Payment of Benefits 
 6.1    Time and Method of Payment. The distribution of the Participant’s Account balance shall be paid or commence to be
paid as soon as practicable on or after the Participant’s Distribution Commencement Date. A Participant’s “Distribution Commencement Date” is the first business day of the seventh month following the month in which the
Participant has a Separation from Service. The lump sum subaccount of a Participant’s Account will be distributed in a single lump sum as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than 90 days) after the Participant’s Distribution
Commencement Date and the installment subaccount of the Participant’s Account will commence to be distributed in installments at the frequency and over the duration elected by the Participant in the first Deferral Election in which he elected
installments. The installment payments will commence as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than 90 days) after the Participant’s Distribution Commencement Date. 
 If any amount is credited to a Participant’s Account after his or her Distribution Commencement Date with respect to services performed prior to the
Participant’s Separation from Service, the portion of such amount, if any, that is credited to the Participant’s lump sum subaccount will be distributed to the Participant immediately after such amount is credited to his lump sum
subaccount, and the portion of such amount credited to the Participant’s installment subaccount will be distributed to the Participant over the remaining installment period. 
 Notwithstanding any election made by a Participant pursuant to Section 4.2, if a Participant dies before receiving his or her entire Account
balance, the Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries will receive the Participant’s entire remaining Account balance in a single lump sum as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than 90 days) after the later of
(i) the Participant’s Distribution Commencement Date, or (ii) the first day of the month following the date the Committee receives adequate written confirmation of the Participant’s death. 
 6.2    Small Balance Rule. Notwithstanding any election made by a Participant pursuant to Section 4.2, if the balance in
a Participant’s Account as of the Participant’s Separation from Service is less than $50,000, then such Participant’s Account shall be paid in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practicable on or after the
Participant’s Distribution Commencement Date. 

 6.3    Medium of Payment. All payments shall be made in cash. 
 6.4    Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall withhold any applicable Federal, state or local income tax from payments due
under the Plan in accordance with such procedures as the Company may establish. Generally, any Social Security taxes, including the Medicare portion of such taxes, shall be withheld from other compensation payable to the Participant in question, or
paid by the Participant in question to the Company, at the time amounts are credited to the Participant’s Account. The Company shall also withhold any other employment or other taxes as necessary to comply with applicable laws. 
 6.5    Beneficiary. 
  

	 	(a)	A Participant shall have the right to name a beneficiary or beneficiaries who shall receive the balance of a Participant’s Account in the event of the Participant’s death
prior to the payment of his or her entire Account (a “Beneficiary Designation”). A beneficiary may be an individual, a trust or an entity that is tax-exempt under Code Section 501(c)(3). If a Participant does not name a beneficiary
under this Plan or if the Participant survives all of his or her named beneficiaries (including contingent beneficiaries), the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant to receive
distributions under the Supplemental Plan (if any) and if the Participant does not have a valid beneficiary designation in effect under the Supplemental Plan as of the date of his or her death, the Participant’s Account will be distributed to
his or her estate. A Participant may change or revoke an existing Beneficiary Designation by filing another Beneficiary Designation with the Committee. The latest Beneficiary Designation received by the Committee shall be controlling.

  

	 	(b)	A beneficiary designated by a Participant or another beneficiary who has not yet received payment of the entire benefit payable to him or her under the Plan shall have the right to
name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive the balance of such benefit in the event of the beneficiary’s death prior to the payment of the entire amount of such benefit, in accordance with Section 6.5(a) above, as if the beneficiary
were a Participant (regardless of whether the Participant or such other beneficiary is still alive). 

  

	 	(c)	In addition, after the death of a Participant or a beneficiary thereof, any beneficiary designated by the Participant or such deceased beneficiary, as applicable, who has not yet
received payment of the entire benefit payable to him or her under the Plan shall be treated for purposes of Section 5 of the Plan in the same manner as the Participant with respect to the Account or portion thereof of which such person is the
beneficiary. 

 Section 7 
 Miscellaneous 
 7.1    Funding. Benefits payable under the Plan to
any Participant shall be paid directly by the Company. The Company shall not be required to fund, or otherwise segregate assets to be used for payment of benefits under the Plan. While the Company may, in the discretion of the Committee, make
investments (a) in shares of McDonald’s Common Stock through open market purchases or (b) in other investments in amounts equal or unequal to amounts payable hereunder, the Company shall not be under any obligation to make such
investments and any such investment shall remain an asset of the Company subject to the claims of its general creditors. 
 7.2    Account Statements. The Company shall provide Participants with statements of the balances of their Accounts under the Plan at least annually. 

 7.3    Employment Rights. Establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to
give any employee or Participant the right to be retained in the Company’s service or that of its subsidiaries and affiliates, or to any benefits not specifically provided by the Plan. 
 7.4    Interests Not Transferable. Except as to withholding of any tax under the laws of the United States or any state or
locality and the provisions of Section 6.5 above, no benefit payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, or other legal process, or encumbrance of any kind.
Any attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any such benefits, whether currently or thereafter payable, shall be void. No person shall, in any manner, be liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of any
person entitled to such benefits. If any person shall attempt to, or shall alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber benefits under the Plan, or if by any reason of the Participant’s bankruptcy or other event happening at
any time, such benefits would devolve upon any other person or would not be enjoyed by the person entitled thereto under the Plan, then the Company, in its discretion, may terminate the interest in any such benefits of the person entitled thereto
under the Plan and hold or apply them to or for the benefit of such person entitled thereto under the Plan or such individual’s spouse, children or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner as the Company may deem proper. 
 7.5    Forfeitures and Unclaimed Amounts. Unclaimed amounts shall consist of the amount of the Account of a Participant that
cannot be distributed because of the Committee’s inability, after a reasonable search, to locate a Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, as applicable, within a period of two years after the Payment Date upon which the payment of
benefits becomes due. Unclaimed amounts shall be forfeited at the end of such two-year period. These forfeitures will reduce the obligations of the Company under the Plan. After an unclaimed amount has been forfeited, the Participant or beneficiary,
as applicable, shall have no further right to the Participant’s Account. 
 7.6    Controlling Law. The law
of Illinois, except its law with respect to choice of law, shall be controlling in all matters relating to the Plan to the extent not preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). 
 7.7    Action by the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, any action required of or permitted by
the Company under the Plan shall be by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or by action of any member of the Committee or person(s) authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 7.8    Section 16. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Compensation Committee may impose such
restrictions, rules and regulations on the terms and conditions of participation in the Plan by any Participant who has been deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company to be subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, as the Compensation Committee may determine to be necessary or appropriate. Any investment election made pursuant to Section 5.2 that would result in liability or potential liability under said Section 16 shall be void ab
initio. 
 Section 8 
 Subsidiary Participation 
 8.1    Adoption of Plan. Any entity in which the Company
directly or through intervening subsidiaries owns 80% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock, or, in the case of an unincorporated entity, 80% or more interest in the capital and profits (a
“Subsidiary”) may, with the approval of the Compensation Committee and under such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may prescribe, adopt the corresponding portions of the Plan by resolution of its board of directors and
thereby become an “Adopting Subsidiary.” The Compensation Committee may amend the Plan as necessary or desirable to reflect the adoption of the Plan by an Adopting Subsidiary, provided, however, that an Adopting Subsidiary
shall not have the authority to amend or terminate the Plan under Section 9 below. Exhibit B identifies the Adopting Subsidiaries as of January 1, 2008. The Committee may amend Exhibit B from time to time to reflect changes in the Adopting
Subsidiaries. 

 8.2    Withdrawal from the Plan by Subsidiary. Any Adopting Subsidiary shall
have the right, at any time, upon the approval of and under such conditions as may be provided by the Compensation Committee, to withdraw from the Plan by delivering to the Compensation Committee written notice of its election to withdraw, upon
which it shall be considered a “Withdrawing Subsidiary.” Upon receipt of such notice, the Withdrawing Subsidiary shall establish a successor plan and assume full responsibility (i) for payment of the Account of each Participant who is
currently employed by the Withdrawing Subsidiary on the effective date of the Withdrawing Subsidiary’s withdrawal from the Plan, (ii) to the extent required by the Compensation Committee, for payment of the Account of each Participant who
had a Separation from Service prior to the effective date on the Withdrawing Subsidiary’s withdrawal from the Plan and whose last period of service prior to his or her Separation from Service was with the Withdrawing Subsidiary, and
(iii) for continuing to honor the irrevocable Deferral Elections, if any, that are still in effect with respect to each such Participant. The Company shall have no further obligations to such Participants or any of their beneficiaries under the
Plan to the extent that the liability for the payment of their Accounts is assumed by such Withdrawing Subsidiary. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an Adopting Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary for any reason, such Affiliated Subsidiary shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan and become a Withdrawing Subsidiary in accordance with this Section 8.2 immediately before
such Affiliated Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary, unless the Company and the Affiliated Subsidiary or the person or group of persons that acquires a controlling interest in the Affiliated Subsidiary enter into an agreement that requires the
Company to retain the liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan with respect to such Affiliated Subsidiary and/or to effect a Partial Termination of the Plan in accordance with Section 8.3 with respect to such Affiliated Subsidiary.

 8.3    Partial Termination of the Plan Upon a Subsidiary Change of Control Event. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, if an Adopting Subsidiary undergoes a Subsidiary Change of Control Event, as defined below (a “Disaffiliated Subsidiary”), the Company, in its sole discretion, may terminate the portion of the Plan (a “Partial
Termination”) covering those Participants (“Disaffiliated Participants”) who immediately following the occurrence of such Subsidiary Change of Control Event are employed by, or are otherwise performing services for, such Disaffiliated
Subsidiary. Any such Partial Termination of the Plan shall be done in accordance with and subject to the requirements imposed under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B), including the following: 
  

	 	(a)	The Company may amend the Plan pursuant to Section 9.1 at any time during the period commencing 30 days prior and ending 12 months after the occurrence of a Subsidiary Change
of Control Event to implement a Partial Termination with respect to such Subsidiary Change of Control Event. 

  

	 	(b)	If a Partial Termination amendment is timely adopted, each Disaffiliated Participant will receive, within the 12 month period following the date the Partial Termination amendment is
adopted, a lump sum distribution of his or her entire Account balance under the Plan and his or her entire account balance under all other Company-sponsored deferred compensation plans that together with the Plan are required to be treated as a
single “plan” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) immediately following the Subsidiary Change of Control Event. 

  

	 	(c)	An Adopting Subsidiary shall undergo a “Subsidiary Change of Control Event” if (i) it ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a stock or asset sale or similar
transaction and (ii) such sale or other transaction constitutes a “change in the ownership” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)) of such Adopting Subsidiary, a “change in effective
control” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi)(1)) of such Adopting Subsidiary, or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)) of such Adopting Subsidiary. 

 8.4    Transfer of Benefit Liabilities to an Asset Purchaser. In the event of
a sale or other disposition of assets by the Company or an Affiliated Subsidiary to an unrelated purchaser (“Purchaser”) in a transaction that is described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4), the Company and the Purchaser
may agree that the Purchaser will assume the benefit liabilities of all Participants hereunder who continue to provide services to the Purchaser (or any related entity that together with Purchaser is treated as a single employer pursuant to Code
Section 414(b) or (c)) immediately following such sale or disposition of assets and each such Participant shall not be treated as having had a Separation form Service hereunder provided that the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(h)(4) are satisfied. 
 Section 9 
 Amendment and Termination; ERISA Issues 
 9.1    Amendment and Termination. The Company reserves the right at any time by action of its Board of Directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee to modify, amend or terminate the Plan;
provided, however, that no such amendment or termination of the Plan shall result in a reduction or elimination of a Participant’s Account; and further provided that, except as provided in Section 9.3, no such
amendment or termination shall result in any acceleration or delay in the payment of any amount due under this Plan except to the extent such acceleration or delay is permitted by Section 409A. The Compensation Committee shall provide notice of
amendments adopted by the Compensation Committee to the Board of Directors of the Company on a timely basis. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company’s Corporate Executive Vice President—Human Resources and its Corporate Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary may amend or modify the terms of the Plan and may amend, modify or terminate any Deferral
Election made hereunder to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. 
 9.2    Termination of the Plan Upon a Change of Control of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, immediately following a Change of Control of the Company (as defined
below), the Plan shall be terminated and each Participant and each beneficiary of a deceased Participant (without regard to whether such Participant has had a Separation from Service or is then receiving installments payments) shall receive an
immediate lump sum distribution of his or her entire remaining Account balance. 
 For purposes of this Section 9.2, a “Change of
Control of the Company” means a “change in the ownership” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)) of the Company, a “change in effective control” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi)) of the Company, or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)) of the Company. 
 9.3    ERISA Issues. It is the intention of the Company that the Plan be a nonqualified deferred compensation plan described
in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA covering a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company or an Adopting Subsidiary (a “Top Hat Plan”). 
 Section 10 
 Committee
Actions and Electronic Elections 
 10.1    Actions of Committees. Any actions by the Committee or the
Compensation Committee shall be taken upon the approval of a majority of the members thereof at any in-person or telephonic meeting or in writing. 
 10.2    Electronic Elections. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may in its discretion make disclosure or give information to Participants and beneficiaries and permit Participants
or their beneficiaries to make electronic elections in lieu of written disclosure, information or elections provided in the Plan. In making such a determination, the Committee shall 

 
consider the availability of electronic disclosure of information and elections to Participants and beneficiaries, the protection of the rights of
Participants and their beneficiaries, the appropriateness of the standards for authentication of identity and other security considerations involved in the electronic election system and any guidance issued by any relevant governmental authorities.

 Section 11 
 Special Provisions for Rehired Employees 
 11.1    Deferral Elections of Rehired
Participants. A Participant’s Separation from Service shall have no effect on any Deferral Election in effect at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service and such Deferral Election shall continue to apply to any
Compensation, Annual Bonus and/or Long-Term Cash Bonus, as applicable, that the Participant receives for the relevant period to which the Deferral Election applies. If the Participant subsequently resumes service with the Company or a Subsidiary,
the Participant may not amend or modify any Deferral Election that remains in effect on the date the Participant resumes service. The Participant may file new Deferral Elections, if he or she is eligible to do so, at such time and in accordance with
the terms and conditions as are set forth in Section 4.1. 
 11.2    Payments to Rehired Participants. If a
Participant has a bona fide Separation from Service and thereafter resumes service with the Company or any Subsidiary (whether as an employee or independent contractor), the portion of the Participant’s Account balance attributable to amounts
deferred from compensation earned prior to such Separation from Service (as adjusted for net investment earnings, gains and losses) shall be distributed to the Participant based on such Separation from Service without regard to the
Participant’s resumption of service, and any amounts deferred from compensation earned after the Participant’s resumption of service (as adjusted for net investment earnings, gains and losses) shall not be distributed to the Participant
until the Participant’s subsequent Separation from Service. If a Participant had a Separation from Service and subsequently resumed active service with the Company or a Subsidiary prior to January 1, 2008, then distributions from the
Participant’s Account were suspended in accordance with the terms of the Plan in effect at the time the Participant resumed active service with the Company or a Subsidiary and the Participant’s distributions will not commence until he or
she has another Separation from Service. 
 Section 12 
 Claims Procedures 
 12.1    Filing a Claim. A
Participant or beneficiary of a Participant who believes that he or she is eligible for a benefit under this Plan that has not been provided may submit a written claim for benefits to the Committee. The Committee shall evaluate each properly filed
claim and notify the claimant of the approval or denial of the claim within 90 days after the Committee receives the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If an extension of time for processing
the claim is required, the Committee shall provide the claimant with written notice of the extension before the expiration of the initial 90-day period, specifying the circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which a final decision will
be reached (which date shall not be later than 180 days after the date on which the Committee received the claim). If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the Committee shall provide the claimant with a written notice setting forth (a) the
specific reasons for the denial, (b) references to pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (c) a description of any additional material or information needed and an explanation of why such material or information is
necessary, and (d) the claimant’s right to seek review of the denial pursuant to Section 12.2 below. 
 12.2    Review of Claim Denial. If a claim is denied, in whole or in part, the claimant shall have the right to (a) request that the Committee review the denial, (b) review pertinent documents, and
(c) submit issues and comments in writing, provided that the claimant files a written request for review with the Committee within 60 days after the date on which the claimant received written notice from the Committee of the denial. Within 60
days after the Committee receives a properly filed request for review, the Committee shall conduct such review and advise the claimant in writing of its decision on review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for conducting the
review. If an extension of time for conducting the review is required, the Committee shall provide the claimant with written notice of 

 
the extension before the expiration of the initial 60-day period, specifying the circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which such review shall
be completed (which date shall not be later than 120 days after the date on which the Committee received the request for review). The Committee shall inform the claimant of its decision on review in a written notice, setting forth the specific
reason(s) for the decision and reference to Plan provisions upon which the decision is based. A decision on review shall be final and binding on all persons for all purposes. 
 Executed in multiple originals this 8th day of July, 2008.

 EXHIBIT 10(h) 
 McDONALD’S CORPORATION 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 2001 OMNIBUS STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN 
 Approved by shareholders May 20, 2004 
  
  
 THE PLAN 
 McDonald’s Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), established the McDonald’s Corporation 2001 Omnibus Stock Ownership Plan (as in effect
from time to time through July 1, 2008, the “Plan”), and the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the May 17, 2001 Annual Meeting. The Plan as originally so established became effective as of May 17, 2001
and permitted the grant of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance units, stock bonuses and other stock-based awards. 
 The
Plan was amended and restated effective as of March 18, 2004 and, as so amended and restated, was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the May 20, 2004 Annual Meeting. The Plan as so amended permits the grant of stock options,
restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards. The Plan is amended as of July 1, 2008 and, as so amended, incorporates updates to conform to applicable tax regulations and
administrative modifications. 
 This Plan as amended through July 1, 2008 applies to all Awards (as hereinafter defined) granted on or after
July 1, 2008 and to all Awards outstanding as of July 1, 2008, subject in each case to variations as required to comply with local laws and regulations applicable outside the United States; provided, however, that the requirement to
execute and deliver a release of claims as set forth in Sections 12(d)(2) and 12(f) of the Plan applies only to Awards granted on or after February 13, 2008.

 The purpose of this Plan is to advance the interest of the
Company by encouraging and enabling the acquisition of a larger personal financial interest in the Company by those employees and non-employee directors and senior directors upon whose judgment and efforts the Company is largely dependent for the
successful conduct of its operations. It is anticipated that the acquisition of such financial interest and Stock ownership will stimulate the efforts of such employees and directors on behalf of the Company, strengthen their desire to continue in
the service of the Company, and encourage shareholder and entrepreneurial perspectives through Stock ownership. It is also anticipated that the opportunity to obtain such financial interest and Stock ownership will prove attractive to promising new
employees and will assist the Company in attracting such employees.

employment with the Company and the Subsidiaries. A Grantee employed by a Subsidiary also shall be deemed to incur a Termination of Employment if there occurs a Disaffiliation of that Subsidiary, unless either (i) the Grantee is, immediately
after the Disaffiliation, an employee of the Company or 

 
one of the remaining Subsidiaries, or (ii) in connection with the Disaffiliation, the Awards held by the Grantee are assumed, or replaced with new
awards, by the former Subsidiary or an entity that controls the former Subsidiary following the Disaffiliation. 
 (yy)    “Unit Value” has the meaning specified in Section 9(c)(iii). 
  

	3.	Scope of this Plan 

 (a)    The
total number of shares of Stock delivered to Grantees pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed 116.5 million, subject to the other provisions of this Section 3 and to adjustment as provided in Section 22. Such shares may be treasury
shares or newly-issued shares or both, as may be determined from time to time by the Board or by the Committee appointed pursuant to Section 4. 
 (b)    Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 22, the maximum number of shares of Stock for which stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted to any Grantee in any
one-year period shall be 2 million, and the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be granted to any Grantee in any one-year period in the form of restricted stock, dividend equivalents (other than dividend equivalents that are part of
another Award), and other stock-based awards, in each case that are Qualified Performance-based Awards, shall be 500,000 (provided, that in the case of dividend equivalents, the number of shares taken into account for this purpose shall be the
number of shares with respect to which the dividend equivalents are calculated). Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3 and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 22, not more than 500,000 bonus shares of Stock may be
granted under this Plan. 
 (c)    If and to the extent an Award granted under this Plan shall, after the Effective Date,
expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, or shall be forfeited or settled for cash, the shares of Stock (including restricted stock) associated with the expired, terminated or forfeited portion of such Award shall
become available for other Awards. In no event shall the number of shares of Stock considered to be delivered pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right include the shares that represent the grant or exercise price thereof, which shares
are not delivered to the Grantee upon exercise. 
 (d)    If and to the extent an Award granted under a Prior Plan shall,
after the Effective Date, expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, or shall be forfeited or settled for cash, the shares of Stock (including restricted stock) associated with the expired, terminated or forfeited
portion of such Award shall become available for Awards under this Plan. If, after the Effective Date, a Grantee uses shares of Stock owned by the Grantee (by either actual delivery or by attestation) to pay the Option Price of any stock option
granted under this Plan or a Prior Plan or to satisfy any tax-withholding obligation with respect to an Award granted under this Plan or a Prior Plan, the number of shares of Stock delivered or attested to shall be added to the number of shares of
Stock available for delivery under this Plan. To the extent any shares of Stock subject to a stock option granted under this Plan are withheld, after the Effective Date, to satisfy the Option Price of that stock option, or any shares of Stock
subject to an Award granted under this Plan are withheld to satisfy any tax-withholding obligation, such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under
this Plan. To the extent any shares of Stock subject to an Award granted under a Prior Plan are withheld, after the Effective Date, to satisfy any tax-withholding obligation, such shares shall be added to the maximum number of shares of Stock
available for delivery under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no shares of Stock that become available for Awards granted under this Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(d) shall be available for grants of
incentive stock options pursuant to Section 6(c). 
  

	4.	Administration 

 (a)    Subject
to Section 4(b), this Plan shall be administered by a committee appointed by the Board (the “Committee”). All members of the Committee shall be “outside directors” (as defined or interpreted for purposes of the
Section 162(m) Exemption). The composition of the Committee also shall be subject to such limitations as the Board deems appropriate to permit transactions in Stock pursuant to this Plan to be exempt from liability under Rule 16b-3 under the
1934 Act and to satisfy the “independence” requirements of any national securities exchange on which the Stock is listed. 
 (b)    The Board may, in its discretion, reserve to itself any or all of the authority and responsibility of the Committee. To the extent that the Board has reserved to itself the authority and responsibility of the
Committee, all references to the Committee in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to the Board. 
 (c)    The Committee
shall have full and final authority, in its discretion, but subject to the express provisions of this Plan (including without limitation Section 23(e)), as follows: 
 (i)    to grant Awards, 

 (ii)    to determine (A) when Awards may be granted, and
(B) whether or not specific Awards shall be identified with other specific Awards, and, if so, whether they shall be exercisable cumulatively with or alternatively to such other specific Awards, 
 (iii)    to interpret this Plan and to make all determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this
Plan, 
 (iv)    to determine all terms and provisions of all Awards, including without limitation any
restrictions or conditions (including specifying such performance criteria as the Committee deems appropriate, and imposing restrictions with respect to Stock acquired upon exercise of a stock option, which restrictions may continue beyond the
Grantee’s Termination of Employment or Termination of Directorship, as applicable), which shall be set forth in a written agreement for each Award (the “Award Agreements”), which need not be identical, and, with the consent of the
Grantee, to modify any such Award Agreement at any time, 
 (v)    to adopt or to authorize foreign
Subsidiaries to adopt Foreign Equity Incentive Plans as provided in Section 14, 
 (vi)    to
delegate any or all of its duties and responsibilities under this Plan to any individual or group of individuals it deems appropriate, except its duties and responsibilities with respect to Section 16 Grantees and with respect to Qualified
Performance-Based Awards, and (A) the acts of such delegates shall be treated hereunder as acts of the Committee and (B) such delegates shall report to the Committee regarding the delegated duties and responsibilities, 
 (vii)    to accelerate the exercisability of, and to accelerate or waive any or all of the restrictions and
conditions applicable to, any Award or any group of Awards, other than the Minimum Vesting Requirement, for any reason, solely to the extent that any such acceleration or waiver would not cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the
Code, 
 (viii)    subject to Section 6(a)(ii), to extend the time during which any Award or group
of Awards may be exercised or earned, solely to the extent that any such extension would not cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code, 
 (ix)    to make such adjustments or modifications to Awards to Grantees working outside the United States as are
necessary and advisable to fulfill the purposes of this Plan, 
 (x)    to impose such additional
conditions, restrictions and limitations upon the grant, exercise or retention of Awards as the Committee may, before or concurrently with the grant thereof, deem appropriate, including requiring simultaneous exercise of related identified Awards
and limiting the percentage of Awards that may from time to time be exercised by a Grantee, and 
 (xi)    to prescribe rules and regulations concerning the transferability of any Awards, and to make such adjustments or modifications to Awards transferable pursuant to Section 8 as are necessary and advisable to
fulfill the purposes of this Plan. 
 (d)    The determination of the Committee on all matters relating to this Plan or
any Award Agreement shall be made in its sole discretion, and shall be conclusive and final. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award. 
  

	5.	Eligibility 

 Awards may be granted to any employee (including any
officer) of the Company or any of its domestic Subsidiaries, any employee, officer or director of any of the Company’s foreign Subsidiaries (provided, that in the case of an employee, officer or director of a domestic or foreign Subsidiary in
which the Company owns less than 50% of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock, Awards may be granted only where there is a sufficient nexus between such employee, officer or director and the Company so that the grant
serves a genuine business purpose of the Company) and to any non-employee director or senior director of the Company. In selecting the individuals to whom Awards may be granted, as well as in determining the number of shares of Stock subject to, and
the other terms and conditions applicable to, each Award, the Committee shall take into consideration such factors as it deems relevant in promoting the purposes of this Plan. 
  

	6.	Conditions to Grants 

 (a)    General conditions. 
 (i)    The “Grant
Date” of an Award shall be the date on which the Committee grants the Award or such later date as specified in advance by the Committee. 

 (ii)    The term of each Award shall be a period of 10 years from the
Grant Date; provided, that the Committee may determine not later than the Grant Date that the term of an Award will be a different period, not longer than 15 years from the Grant Date; and provided, further, that in any event the term of each
Award shall be subject to earlier termination as herein provided. 
 (iii)    A Grantee may, if otherwise
eligible, be granted additional Awards in any combination. 
 (b)    Grant of Stock Options and Option
Price. A stock option represents the right to purchase a share of Stock at a predetermined Option Price. No later than the Grant Date of any stock option, the Committee shall establish the Option Price of such stock option. The per-share Option
Price of a stock option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Stock on the Grant Date. Such Option Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 22. The applicable Award Agreement may provide that
the stock option shall be exercisable for restricted stock. 
 (c)    Grant of Incentive Stock Options. At
the time of the grant of any stock option, the Committee may designate such stock option as an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Any stock option not so designated shall not be an incentive stock option,
even if it otherwise meets the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Any stock option so designated that nevertheless fails (either at the time of grant or at any time thereafter as a result of accelerated vesting or otherwise) to meet the
requirements of Section 422 of the Code, in whole or in part, shall be treated as a stock option that is not an incentive stock option to the extent of such failure. The terms of any incentive stock option shall require the Grantee to notify
the Committee or its designee of any “disqualifying disposition” (as defined in Section 421(b) of the Code) of any Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the incentive stock option within 10 days after such disposition. 

(d)    Grant of Shares of Restricted Stock. 
 (i)    Shares of restricted stock are shares of Stock that are awarded to a Grantee and that, during a restricted
period, may be forfeitable to the Company upon such conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the restricted period. 

(ii)    The Committee shall, in its discretion, determine the amount, if any, that a Grantee shall pay for shares
of restricted stock, subject to the following sentence. Except with respect to shares of restricted stock that are treasury shares, for which no payment need be required, the Committee shall require the Grantee to pay at least the Minimum
Consideration for each share of restricted stock granted to such Grantee. Such payment shall be made in full by the Grantee before the delivery of the shares and in any event no later than 10 days after the Grant Date for such shares. 
 (iii)    The Committee may, but need not, provide that all or any portion of a Grantee’s Award of restricted
stock, or restricted stock acquired upon exercise of a stock option, shall be forfeited: 
 (A)    except
as otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, upon the Grantee’s Termination of Employment as provided in Section 12, or 
 (B)    if the Company or the Grantee does not achieve specified performance goals (if any) within a specified time period after the Grant Date and before the Grantee’s Termination of Employment, or 
 (C)    upon failure to satisfy such other conditions as the Committee may specify in the applicable Award Agreement;
provided, that each such Award that is a Service-Vesting Award shall be subject to the Minimum Vesting Requirement. 
 (iv)    If a share of restricted stock is forfeited, then, if the Grantee was required to pay for such share or acquired such share upon the exercise of a stock option: (A) the Grantee shall be deemed to have resold
such share to the Company at the lesser of (1) the amount paid or, if the restricted stock was acquired on exercise of a stock option, the Option Price paid by the Grantee for such share, or (2) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the date of such forfeiture; (B) the Company shall pay to the Grantee the amount determined under clause (A) of this sentence as soon as is administratively practical; and (C) such share shall cease to be outstanding, and shall no
longer confer on the Grantee thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company, from and after the later of the date the event causing the forfeiture occurred or the date of the Company’s tender of the payment specified in clause (B) of
this sentence, whether or not such tender is accepted by the Grantee. 
 (v)    The Committee may provide
that any share of restricted stock shall be held (together with a stock power executed in blank by the Grantee) in escrow by the Secretary of the Company until such share becomes nonforfeitable or is forfeited. Any share of restricted stock shall
bear an appropriate legend specifying that such share is non-transferable and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. If any share of restricted stock becomes nonforfeitable, the Company shall cause the
certificate for such share to be issued or reissued without such legend. 

 (e)    Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock
appreciation right represents the right to receive a payment, in cash, shares of Stock or both (as determined by the Committee) equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value, on the date such Fair Market Value is determined, of a specified number of
shares of Stock, over the Award’s grant or exercise price, if any. When granted, stock appreciation rights may, but need not, be identified with shares of Stock subject to a specific stock option or specific shares of restricted stock of the
Grantee (including any stock option or shares of restricted stock granted on or before the Grant Date of the stock appreciation rights) in a number equal to or different from the number of shares of Stock subject to the stock appreciation rights so
granted. If stock appreciation rights are identified with shares of Stock subject to a stock option or with shares of restricted stock then, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Grantee’s associated stock
appreciation rights shall terminate upon, and to the extent of, (i) the expiration, termination, forfeiture or cancellation of such stock option or shares of restricted stock, or (ii) the date such shares of restricted stock become
nonforfeitable. 
 (f)    Grant of Stock Bonuses. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant shares of
Stock to any employee eligible under Section 5 to receive Awards, other than executive officers of the Company. 
 (g)    Grant of Dividend Equivalents. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant dividend equivalents, which represent the right to receive cash payments or shares of Stock measured by the dividends
payable with respect to specific shares of Stock or a specified number of shares of Stock. Dividend equivalents may be granted as part of another type of Award or as a separate Award, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall determine; provided, that the Committee shall not provide for payment of dividend equivalents in a manner that would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code. 
 (h)    Grant of Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant other stock-based awards. These
are Awards, other than stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock bonuses, and dividend equivalents, that are denominated in, valued, in whole or in part, by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Stock. The
purchase, exercise, exchange or conversion of other stock-based awards granted under this Section 6(h) shall be on such terms and conditions and by such methods as shall be specified by the Committee. If the value of an other stock-based award
is based on the difference between the excess of the Fair Market Value, on the date such Fair Market Value is determined, over such Award’s exercise or grant price, the exercise or grant price for such an Award will not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. If the value of such an Award is based on the full value of a share of Stock, and the Award is a Service-Vesting Award, then such Award shall be subject to the Minimum Vesting Requirement. 
  

	7.	Grantee’s Agreement to Serve 

 The Committee may, in its
discretion, require each Grantee who is granted an Award to, execute such Grantee’s Award Agreement, and to agree that such Grantee will remain in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or remain as a non-employee director or
senior director, as applicable, for at least one year after the Grant Date. No obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as to the length of any Grantee’s employment or service as a non-employee director or senior director shall be
implied by the terms of this Plan, any grant of an Award hereunder or any Award Agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the same rights to terminate employment of any Grantee as existed before the Effective Date. 
  

	8.	Non-Transferability 

 Each Award (other than restricted stock)
granted hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that a Grantee may, in a manner set forth in rules established by the Committee: (a) designate in writing a
beneficiary to exercise his or her Award after the Grantee’s death; (b) transfer a stock option (other than an incentive stock option), stock appreciation right or other stock-based award to a revocable inter vivos trust as to which
the Grantee is both the settlor and the trustee; and (c) if permitted by the Committee pursuant to its rules, transfer an Award (other than restricted stock or an incentive stock option) for no consideration to any of the following permissible
transferees (each a “Permissible Transferee”): (i) any member of the Immediate Family of the Grantee to whom such Award was granted, (ii) any trust for the benefit of members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family, (iii) any
partnership whose partners are members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family or (iv) Ronald McDonald House Charities or any Ronald McDonald House; and further provided that (A) the transferee shall remain subject to all of the terms and
conditions applicable to such Award prior to such transfer; (B) any such transfer shall be subject to and in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Committee in accordance with Section 4(c)(xi), and (C) except as
otherwise expressly provided for in this Plan or in the Transfer Rules, a Permissible Transferee shall have all the rights and obligations of the Grantee hereunder and the Grantee shall not retain any rights with respect to the transferred Award,
and further provided that the payment of any tax attributable to the exercise of an Award shall remain the obligation of the Grantee and the period during which an Award shall remain exercisable under Section 12 shall depend upon the time and
nature of the Grantee’s Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, from time to time, in its sole discretion designate additional individuals, persons or classes as Permissible Transferees, and permit other
transfers as the Committee determines to be appropriate. 
 Each share of restricted stock shall be non-transferable until such share becomes
nonforfeitable. 

	9.	Exercise 

 (a)    Exercise of
Stock Options. Subject to Sections 4(c)(vii), 12, 13 and 21 and such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, each stock option shall be exercisable as and when determined by the Committee; provided that, unless the Committee determines
otherwise, each stock option shall be exercisable in one or more installments commencing not earlier than the first anniversary of the Grant Date of such stock option. 
 Each stock option shall be exercised by delivery of notice of intent to purchase a specific number of shares of Stock subject to such stock option. Such notice shall be in a manner specified by and satisfactory to the
Company. The Option Price of any shares of Stock or shares of restricted stock as to which a stock option shall be exercised shall be paid in full at the time of the exercise. Payment may, at the election of the Grantee, be made in any one or any
combination of the following: 
 (i)    cash, 
 (ii)    unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Stock owned by the Grantee, valued at its Fair Market Value at
the time of exercise, 
 (iii)    with the approval of the Committee, shares of restricted stock held by
the Grantee, each valued at the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the time of exercise, or 
 (iv)    unless otherwise determined by the Committee, through simultaneous sale through a broker of shares acquired on exercise, as permitted under Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. 
 If shares of Stock or restricted stock are used to pay the Option Price, such shares of Stock or restricted stock must have been
held by the Grantee for more than six months prior to exercise of the stock option, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Such payment may be made by actual delivery or attestation. 
 If restricted stock is used to pay the Option Price for Stock subject to a stock option (“Tendered Restricted Stock”), then the Committee shall
specify which of of the following two rules applies: either (i) all the shares of Stock acquired on exercise of the stock option shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Tendered Restricted Stock, determined as of the date of exercise
of the stock option, or (ii) a number of shares of Stock acquired on exercise of the stock option equal to the number of shares of Tendered Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Tendered Restricted Stock, determined
as of the date of exercise of the stock option. 
 (b)    Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to
Sections 4(c)(vii), 12, 13 and 21 and such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, each stock appreciation right shall be exercisable as and when determined by the Committee; provided that, unless the Committee determines otherwise, each
stock appreciation right shall be exercisable not earlier than the first anniversary of the Grant Date of such stock appreciation right, to the extent the stock option with which it is identified, if any, may be exercised, or to the extent the
restricted stock with which it is identified, if any, has become nonforfeitable. Stock appreciation rights shall be exercised by delivery to the Company of written notice of intent to exercise a specific number of stock appreciation rights. Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the exercise of stock appreciation rights that are identified with shares of Stock subject to a stock option or shares of restricted stock shall result in the cancellation or forfeiture of such
stock option or shares of restricted stock, as the case may be, to the extent of such exercise. 
 The benefit for each share as to which a
stock appreciation right is exercised shall be equal to: 
 (i)    the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the date of such exercise, reduced by 
 (ii)    an amount equal to: 
 (A)    for any stock appreciation right identified with shares of Stock subject to a stock option, the Option Price
of such stock option, unless the Committee in the grant of the stock appreciation right specified a higher amount or 
 (B)    for any other stock appreciation right, the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date of such stock appreciation right, unless the Committee in the grant of the stock appreciation right specified a
higher amount; provided that the Committee, in its discretion, may provide that the benefit for any stock appreciation right shall not exceed such percentage of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on such Grant Date as the Committee shall
specify. 

 The benefit upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right shall be payable in cash, except that the
Committee, may, in its discretion, provide in the Award Agreement that benefits, with respect to any particular exercise, may be paid wholly or partly in Stock. 
 (c)    Time of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the final date on which any stock option or stock appreciation right would otherwise be
exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Plan (including without limitation Section 12 hereof) is not a Business Day, the last day on which such stock option or stock appreciation right may be exercised is the last Business Day
immediately preceding such date. 
  

	10.	Notification under Section 83(b) 

 The Committee may, on the
Grant Date or any later date, prohibit a Grantee from making the election described below. If the Committee has not prohibited such Grantee from making such election, and the Grantee shall, in connection with the exercise of any stock option, or the
grant of any share of restricted stock, make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code (i.e., an election to include in such Grantee’s gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the
Code), such Grantee shall notify the Company of such election within 10 days of filing notice of the election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, in addition to complying with any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued
under the authority of Section 83(b) of the Code. 
  

	11.	Withholding Taxes 

 (a)    Whenever, under this Plan, cash or Stock is to be delivered upon exercise or payment of an Award or a share of restricted stock becomes nonforfeitable, or any other event occurs that results in taxation of
a Grantee with respect to an Award, the Company shall be entitled to require (i) that the Grantee remit an amount sufficient to satisfy all U.S. federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto, (ii) the withholding of
such sums from compensation otherwise due to the Grantee or from any shares of Stock due to the Grantee under this Plan, (iii) any other method prescribed by the Committee from time to time or (iv) any combination of the foregoing;
provided, however, that no amount shall be withheld from any cash payment or shares of Stock relating to an Award that was transferred by the Grantee in accordance with this Plan and such cash payment or delivery to such Permissible Transferee shall
in no way be conditioned upon the Grantee’s remittance obligation described herein. The Grantee shall be permitted to remit such amount in the form of Stock owned by the Grantee, valued at its Fair Market Value at the time of the remittance (by
actual delivery or by attestation). 
 (b)    If any disqualifying disposition (as defined in Section 421(b)
of the Code) is made with respect to shares of Stock acquired under an incentive stock option granted pursuant to this Plan or any election described in Section 10 is made, then the individual making such disqualifying disposition or election
shall remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all U.S. federal, state and local withholding taxes thereby incurred; provided, that in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to withhold such sums from
compensation otherwise due to the Grantee or from any shares of Stock due to the Grantee under this Plan. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount withheld or remitted in the form of shares of Stock due to a Grantee under this Plan exceed the minimum required by applicable law. 
  

	12.	Termination of Employment 

 (a)    For Cause. If a Grantee has a Termination of Employment for Cause, 
 (i)    the Grantee’s shares of restricted stock that are forfeitable shall thereupon be forfeited, subject to the provisions of Section 6(d)(iv) regarding repayment of certain amounts to the Grantee;

 (ii)    any unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right shall terminate immediately upon such
Termination of Employment for Cause; and 
 (iii)    any other Award that has not previously vested shall
thereupon be forfeited; 
 provided, however, that if a Grantee has a Termination of Employment for Cause due solely to a Policy Violation (as determined by
the Committee or its delegee in its sole and absolute discretion), the provisions of Section 12(b) (and not the provisions of this Section 12(a)) shall apply. 
 (b)    For Policy Violation. If a Grantee has a Termination of Employment for Cause due solely to a Policy Violation (as determined by the Committee or its delegee in its sole and absolute
discretion),  

 (i)    the Grantee’s shares of restricted stock that are
forfeitable shall thereupon be forfeited, subject to the provisions of Section 6(d)(iv) regarding repayment of certain amounts to the Grantee; 
 (ii)    any unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right, to the extent exercisable on the date of the Grantee’s Termination of Employment, may be exercised, in whole or in part, by
the Grantee or Permissible Transferee of an Award assigned or transferred in accordance with Section 8, not later than the 90th day following the Grantee’s termination of employment; and 
 (iii)    any other Award that has not previously vested shall thereupon be forfeited. 
 (c)    On Account of Death or Disability. If a Grantee has a Termination of Employment on account of the Grantee’s
death or Disability, then: 
 (i)    the Grantee’s shares of restricted stock that are
Service-Vesting Awards and that were forfeitable shall thereupon become nonforfeitable; 
 (ii)    any
unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right (other than a stock appreciation right identified with a share of restricted stock), whether or not exercisable on the date of such Termination of Employment may be exercised, in whole or in part,
at any time within three years after such Termination of Employment (or until the 15th anniversary of the Grant Date, if sooner) by the Grantee, or after the Grantee’s death, by (A) his or her personal representative or by the person to
whom the stock option or stock appreciation right is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, (B) the Grantee’s beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 8, (C) the then-acting trustee of
the trust described in Section 8(b); or (D) a Permissible Transferee of an Award assigned or transferred in accordance with Section 8; and 
 (iii)    any other Awards held by the Grantee shall be treated as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (d)    On Account of Retirement. (i) If a Grantee has a Termination of Employment on account of Retirement after age 60 with 20 years or more of Affiliate Service, any
unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right (other than a stock appreciation right identified with a share of restricted stock) that is then exercisable or that would have become exercisable within three years of such Retirement if the
Grantee had remained employed by the Company or a Subsidiary throughout such three-year period, may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Grantee or Permissible Transferee of an Award assigned or transferred in accordance with Section 8, at
any time within three years after the Grantee’s Retirement or until the 15th anniversary of the Grant Date, if sooner. 
 (ii)    If a Grantee has a Termination of Employment on account of Retirement with combined age and years of Affiliate Service equal to or greater than 70, any unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right (other
than a stock appreciation right identified with a share of restricted stock) that is then exercisable or that would have become exercisable within three years of such Retirement if the Grantee had remained employed by the Company or a Subsidiary
throughout such three-year period may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Grantee or Permissible Transferee of an Award assigned or transferred in accordance with Section 8, at any time within three years after the Grantee’s
Retirement or until the end of the stated term of the Award, if sooner; provided, that if and to the extent the Committee or its delegee so determines, the Grantee shall be required, in order to receive the foregoing treatment, (A) to provide
six months’ prior written notice of the Grantee’s intention to retire to the officer in charge of the Benefits and Compensation Department in Oak Brook, Illinois, (B) to execute and deliver to the Company a non-competition agreement
(in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Committee or such delegee) and/or (C) solely with respect to Awards granted on or after February 13, 2008, to execute and deliver to the Company a release of claims in a form specified by the
Committee or its delegee. In the event that the extension of time to exercise stock options or stock appreciation rights as set forth in this Section 12(d)(ii) would result in any of a Grantee’s stock options or stock appreciation rights
being exercisable at any time later than the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date (or, if earlier, the original expiration date of the Award), the requirement to provide notice, to execute and deliver a non-competition agreement and (solely in the
case of Awards granted on or after February 13, 2008) to execute and deliver a release of claims, in each case as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall be mandatory and not subject to the discretion of the Committee. If a Grantee is
required to, and does, execute and deliver such a non-competition agreement, and then violates the provisions thereof, all unexercised stock options and stock appreciation rights (other than stock appreciation rights identified with restricted
stock) will immediately terminate and will not be exercisable. 
 (iii)    The nonforfeitability and
exercisability of restricted stock that is a Service-Vesting Award (and any stock appreciation rights identified therewith) held by a Grantee who has a Termination of Employment on account of Retirement shall be determined under Section 12(f),
and any other Awards held by the Grantee shall be treated as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 

 (e)    On Account of Termination of Employment After Age 60. If a
Grantee has a Termination of Employment after attaining age 60, other than a Termination of Employment for Cause or on account of death, Disability or Retirement, any unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right (other than a stock
appreciation right identified with a share of restricted stock) to the extent exercisable on the date of such Termination of Employment, may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Grantee or Permissible Transferee of an Award assigned or
transferred in accordance with Section 8, at any time within one year after the Grantee’s Termination of Employment or until the 15th anniversary of the Grant Date, if sooner. The nonforfeitability and exercisability of the Grantee’s
restricted stock (and any stock appreciation rights identified therewith) that is a Service-Vesting Award shall be determined under Section 12(f), and any other Awards held by the Grantee shall be treated as specified in the applicable Award
Agreement. 
 (f)    Special Circumstances; Disaffiliation. (i) If a Grantee has a Termination of
Employment under Special Circumstances, the Grantee or Permissible Transferee of an Award assigned or transferred in accordance with Section 8 will receive an extension of time to exercise any unexercised stock options and stock appreciation
rights (other than stock appreciation rights identified with restricted stock) and accelerated vesting of these stock options and stock appreciation rights based on the following rules that incorporate age and years of Affiliate Service (in the case
of a Termination of Employment without Cause) or Company Service (in other Special Circumstances): 
  
  

			
	 Age and Years of
 Company or
 Affiliate Service
	  	 Additional Vesting
 and Time to Exercise

	70 plus years  	  	3 Years
	60 to 69 years	  	2 Years
	50 to 59 years	  	1 Year  

 provided, that the Committee or its delegee may (and, in the event that the extension of time to exercise stock
options or stock appreciation rights as set forth in this Section 12(f) would result in any of a Grantee’s stock options or stock appreciation rights being exercisable at any time later than the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date (or, if
earlier, the original expiration date of the Award), shall) require, in the case of a Termination of Employment without Cause, that the Grantee execute and deliver to the Company a non-competition agreement (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Committee or such delegee) in order to receive the foregoing treatment; further provided, that in the case of a Termination of Employment without Cause and with respect to any Award granted on or after February 13, 2008, the Committee shall
require that, in order to receive the foregoing treatment, the Grantee execute and deliver to the Company a release of claims in a form specified by the Committee or its delegee; and further provided, that in no event may a stock option or stock
appreciation right be exercised after the 15th anniversary of the Grant Date. If a Grantee is required to, and does, execute and deliver such a non-competition agreement, and then violates the provisions thereof, all unexercised stock options and
stock appreciation rights (other than stock appreciation rights identified with restricted stock) will immediately terminate and will not be exercisable. 
 (ii)    If a Grantee has a Termination of Employment because of a Disaffiliation, the provisions of this Section 12(f)(ii) and Section 12(f)(iii) (and no other provision of this
Section 12 that might otherwise apply) shall determine the consequences for such Grantee’s Awards. In such a case, the Grantee or Permissible Transferee of an Award assigned or transferred in accordance with Section 8 will be
permitted to exercise any stock options and stock appreciation rights (other than stock appreciation rights identified with restricted stock) that are unexercised and vested immediately before the Grantee’s Termination of Employment for one
year following the Grantee’s Termination of Employment; provided, that with respect to any Award granted on or after February 13, 2008, the Committee shall require that, in order to receive the foregoing treatment, the Grantee execute and
deliver to the Company a release of claims in a form specified by the Committee or its delegee. 
 (iii)    In addition, if a Grantee has a Termination of Employment because of Special Circumstances or Disaffiliation, the nonforfeitability and exercisability of restricted stock (and any stock appreciation rights
identified therewith) held by the Grantee that is a Service-Vesting Award shall be determined under Section 12(f)(i), and any other Awards held by the Grantee shall be treated as specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (g)    Any Other Reason. If a Grantee has a Termination of Employment for a reason other than those specified in this
Section 12, 
 (i)    the Grantee’s shares of restricted stock (and any stock appreciation
rights identified therewith), to the extent forfeitable on the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment, shall be forfeited on such date; 

 (ii)    any unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right
(other than a stock appreciation right identified with a share of restricted stock) to the extent exercisable on the date of the Grantee’s Termination of Employment, may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Grantee or Permissible
Transferee of an Award assigned or transferred in accordance with Section 8, not later than the 90th day following the Grantee’s termination of employment; provided, that in no event may a stock option or stock appreciation right be
exercised after the 15th anniversary of the applicable Grant Date; and 
 (iii)    any other Award that
has not previously vested shall thereupon be forfeited. 
 (h)    Selection of Rule. If a particular
Grantee’s Termination of Employment is covered by more than one of the foregoing rules, then except as specifically provided in Section 12(f)(ii), for each Award held by the Grantee, the applicable rule that is the most favorable to the
Grantee shall apply; provided, that in the case of a Termination of Employment for Cause the Committee or its delegee shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine whether the applicable Grantee is eligible for the treatment described in
Section 12(b). 
 (i)    Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may
determine that the consequences of a Termination of Employment or a Termination of Directorship for a particular Award will differ from those outlined above, either (i) in connection with the grant of the Award, or (ii) if the change is
favorable to the Grantee, after it is granted; provided, that the Committee shall have no authority (x) after the Grant Date, to extend the time to exercise unexercised stock options or stock appreciation rights to any date later than the 10th
anniversary of the Grant Date (or, if earlier, the original expiration date of the Award) or (y) otherwise to provide for terms of an Award that would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code. 
  

	13.	Termination of Directorship 

 (a)    For Cause. If a Termination of Directorship occurs for Cause, any unexercised stock option or other Awards shall thereupon terminate. 
 (b)    Retirement. If a Termination of Directorship occurs because of Retirement, any unexercised stock option or stock
appreciation right (other than a stock appreciation right identified with a share of restricted stock), whether or not exercisable on the date of Retirement, may be exercised, in whole or in part, for a period of three years from the Grantee’s
Retirement, or until the end of its stated term, if sooner. Any other unvested Awards shall become vested and payable to the Grantee. 
 (c)    Death or Disability. If Termination of Directorship
occurs because of the death or Disability of the Grantee, any unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right (other than a stock appreciation right identified with a share of restricted stock), whether or not exercisable on the date of such
Termination of Directorship, may be exercised by the Grantee, a Permissible Transferee or by the Grantee’s personal representative after the Grantee’s death, in whole or in part, at any time within three years after such Termination of
Directorship or until the 15th anniversary of the Grant Date, if sooner. Any other unvested Awards shall become vested and payable to the Grantee, a
Permissible Transferee or by the Grantee’s personal representative after the Grantee’s death. 
 (d)    Other Termination. If a Termination of Directorship occurs for any reason other than for Cause (as described in Section 13(a)) or the death, Disability or Retirement of a Grantee, any
unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right (other than a stock appreciation right identified with a share of restricted stock), to the extent exercisable on the date of the Termination of Directorship, may be exercised, in whole or in
part, at any time within one year after the Termination of Directorship, or until the end of its stated term, if sooner. Any other Awards to the extent the Awards are unvested on the date of Termination of Directorship shall be forfeited and
cancelled. 

	14.	Equity Incentive Plans of Foreign Subsidiaries 

 The Committee may
adopt or authorize any foreign Subsidiary to adopt a plan for granting Awards (a “Foreign Equity Incentive Plan”). All awards granted under such Foreign Equity Incentive Plans shall be treated as grants under this Plan. Such Foreign Equity
Incentive Plans shall have such terms and provisions as the Committee permits not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan. 
  

	15.	Securities Law Matters 

 (a)    If the Committee deems it necessary to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the regulations and rulings thereunder, the Committee may require a written investment intent representation by the
Grantee and may require that a restrictive legend be affixed to certificates for shares of Stock. 
 (b)    If, based
upon the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Committee determines that the exercise or nonforfeitability of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Award would violate any applicable provision of (i) U.S. federal, state or local
securities law or (ii) the listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which are listed any of the Company’s equity securities, then the Committee may postpone any such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery, as the case
may be, for not more than 30 days after the date on which such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery would no longer violate such law or requirements; provided, that the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such exercise, nonforfeitability
or delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date. 
  

	16.	Funding 

 Benefits payable under this Plan to any person shall be
paid directly by the Company. The Company shall not be required to fund, or otherwise segregate assets to be used for payment of, benefits under this Plan. 
  

	17.	No Employment Rights 

 Neither the establishment of this Plan, nor
the granting of any Award, shall be construed to (a) give any Grantee the right to remain employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any benefits not specifically provided by this Plan or (b) in any manner modify the right of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to modify, amend, or terminate any of its employee benefit plans. 
  

	18.	Rights as a Stockholder 

 A Grantee shall not, by reason of any
Award (other than restricted stock), have any right as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock that may be deliverable upon exercise or payment of such Award until such shares have been delivered to him or her. Shares of
restricted stock held by a Grantee or held in escrow by the Secretary of the Company shall confer on the Grantee all rights of a stockholder of the Company, except as otherwise provided in this Plan. The Committee, in its discretion, at the time of
grant of restricted stock, may permit or require the payment of cash dividends thereon to be deferred, and, if the Committee so determines, reinvested in additional restricted stock to the extent shares are available under Section 3 or
otherwise reinvested. Stock dividends, other non-cash dividends and distributions, and deferred cash dividends issued with respect to restricted stock shall be treated as additional shares of restricted stock that are subject to the same
restrictions and other terms as apply to the shares with respect to which such dividends are issued. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide for crediting to and payment of interest on deferred cash dividends. 
  

	19.	Nature of Payments 

 Any and all grants, payments of cash, or
deliveries of shares of Stock hereunder shall constitute special incentive payments to the Grantee, and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Grantee for the purposes of determining any pension,
retirement, death or other benefits under (a) any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance or other employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (b) any agreement between the Company or any
Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Grantee, on the other hand, except as such plan or agreement shall otherwise expressly provide. 
  

	20.	Non-Uniform Determinations 

 Neither the Committee’s nor the
Board’s determinations under this Plan need be uniform, and may be made by the Committee or the Board selectively among individuals who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such individuals are similarly situated).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements as to (a) the identity of the
Grantees, (b) the terms and provisions of Awards, and (c) the treatment, under Section 12, of Terminations of Employment. 

	21.	Change in Control Provisions 

 Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Plan to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 21 shall apply in the event of a Change in Control, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in connection with the grant of an Award (as reflected in the applicable Award
Agreement). 
 (a)    Upon a Change in Control, all then-outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights shall
become fully vested and exercisable, and all other then-outstanding Awards that are Service-Vesting Awards shall vest in full and be free of restrictions, except to the extent that another Award meeting the requirements of Section 21(b) (a
“Replacement Award”) is provided to the Grantee pursuant to Section 22 to replace such Award (the “Replaced Award”). The treatment of any other Awards shall be as determined by the Committee in connection with the grant
thereof, as reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (b)    An Award shall meet the conditions of this
Section 21(b) (and hence qualify as a Replacement Award) if: (i) it is of the same type as the Replaced Award; (ii) it has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award; (iii) it relates to publicly traded equity
securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control; (iv) its terms and conditions comply with Section 23(c) below; and
(v) its other terms and conditions are not less favorable to the Grantee than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 21(b) are
satisfied shall be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may determine the value of Awards and Replacement Awards that
are stock options by reference to either their intrinsic value or their fair value. 
 (c)    Upon a Termination of
Employment or Termination of Directorship of a Grantee occurring in connection with or during the period of two years after such Change in Control, other than for Cause, (i) all Replacement Awards held by the Grantee shall become fully vested
and (if applicable) exercisable and free of restrictions, and (ii) all stock options and stock appreciation rights held by the Grantee immediately before the Termination of Employment or Termination of Directorship that the Grantee held as of
the date of the Change in Control or that constitute Replacement Awards shall remain exercisable for not less than two years following such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such stock option, whichever period is shorter
(provided, that if Section 12 or the applicable Award Agreement provides for a longer period of exercisability, that provision shall control). 
  

	22.	Adjustments 

 The Committee shall make such adjustments (if any) as
it deems appropriate and equitable, in its discretion, to the following: 
 (a)    the various numbers of shares of Stock
referred to in the limitations imposed under Section 2(x) and Section 3, 
 (b)    the number of shares of
Stock covered by an outstanding Award, 
 (c)    the Option Price of an outstanding stock option, 
 (d)    the Fair Market Value of Stock to be used to determine the amount of the benefit payable upon exercise of outstanding stock
appreciation rights, and 
 (e)    such other adjustments to outstanding Awards as the Committee may determine to be
appropriate and equitable, 
 to reflect a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or shares, separation, spinoff, reorganization, stock rights offering, liquidation, Disaffiliation of a Subsidiary or similar event of or by the Company. Such adjustments may include, without limitation, (i) the
cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, (ii) the substitution of other property (including, without limitation, other
securities and securities of entities other than the Company that agree to such substitution) for the Stock available under this Plan and/or the Stock covered by outstanding Awards, and (iii) in connection with any Disaffiliation of a
Subsidiary, arranging for the assumption, or replacement with new awards, of Awards held by Grantees employed by the affected Subsidiary by the Subsidiary or an entity that controls the Subsidiary following the Disaffiliation. 
  

	23.	Qualified Performance-Based Awards 

 (a)    The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that all stock options and stock appreciation rights granted hereunder to any Grantee who is or may be a “covered employee” (within the meaning of
Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) at the time of exercise qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and all such Awards shall therefore be considered Qualified Performance-Based Awards and this Plan shall be interpreted and operated
consistent with that intention. The provisions referred to in the preceding 

 
sentence include without limitation the limitation on the total amount of such Awards to any Grantee set forth in Section 3(b); the requirement of
Section 4(a) that the Committee satisfy the requirements for being “outside directors” for purposes of the Section 162(m) Exemption; the limitations on the discretion of the Committee with respect to Qualified Performance-Based
Awards; and the requirements of Sections 6(b) and 6(e) that the Option Price of stock options and the base price for determining the value of stock appreciation rights be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date (which
requirement constitutes the Qualified Performance Goal). 
 (b)    The Committee may designate any Award (other than a
stock option or stock appreciation right) as a Qualified Performance-Based Award upon grant, in each case based upon a determination that (i) the Grantee is or may be a “covered employee” (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3)
of the Code) with respect to such Award, and (ii) the Committee wishes such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. The provisions of this Section 23 shall apply to all such Qualified Performance-Based Awards,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, other than Section 21. 
 (c)    Each Qualified Performance-Based
Award (other than a stock option or stock appreciation right) shall be earned, vested and payable (as applicable) only upon the achievement of one or more Qualified Performance Goals, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as
continued employment, as the Committee may determine to be appropriate; provided that (i) the Committee may provide, either in connection with the grant thereof or by amendment thereafter, that achievement of such Performance Goals will be
waived upon the death or Disability of the Grantee, and (ii) the provisions of Section 21 shall apply notwithstanding this sentence. 
 (d)    Qualified Performance Goals may take the form of absolute goals or goals relative to the performance of one or more other companies comparable to the Company or of an index covering multiple companies. In
establishing Qualified Performance Goals, the Committee may specify that there shall be excluded the effect of restructuring charges, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, cumulative effects of accounting changes, and other unusual or
nonrecurring items, and asset impairment and the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, in each case as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles and provided in each case that such excluded items are objectively
determinable by reference to the Company’s financial statements, notes to the Company’s financial statements and/or management’s discussion and analysis in the Company’s financial statements. 
 (e)    Except as specifically provided in Section 23(d), no Qualified Performance-Based Award may be amended, nor may the
Committee exercise any discretionary authority it may otherwise have under this Plan with respect to a Qualified Performance-Based Award under this Plan, in any manner to waive the achievement of the applicable Qualified Performance Goals or to
increase the amount payable pursuant thereto or the value thereof, or otherwise in a manner that would cause the Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. 
  

	24.	Amendment of this Plan 

 The Board may from time to time in its
discretion amend this Plan or Awards, and the Committee may from time to time in its discretion amend Awards, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, except (i) to the extent required under the listing requirements of any
national securities exchange on which are listed any of the Company’s equity securities and (ii) to the extent the amendment would result in the reduction of the Option Price of any Option or of the exercise price of any stock appreciation
right. No such amendment shall adversely affect any previously-granted Award without the consent of the Grantee, except for (x) amendments made to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules, and (y) amendments
that do not materially decrease the value of such Awards. In addition, no such amendment may be made that would cause a Qualified Performance Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. 
  

	25.	Termination of this Plan 

 This Plan shall terminate on the 10th
anniversary of the Effective Date or at such earlier time as the Board may determine. Any termination, whether in whole or in part, shall not affect any Award then outstanding under this Plan. 
  

	26.	No Illegal Transactions 

 This Plan and all Awards granted pursuant
to it are subject to all laws and regulations of any governmental authority that may be applicable thereto; and, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award, Grantees shall not be entitled to exercise Awards or receive the benefits
thereof and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Stock or pay any benefits to a Grantee if such exercise, delivery, receipt or payment of benefits would constitute a violation by the Grantee or the Company of any provision of any such
law or regulation. 
  

	27.	Controlling Law 

 The law of the State of Illinois, except its law
with respect to choice of law, shall be controlling in all matters relating to this Plan. 

	28.	Severability 

 If all or any part of this Plan is declared by any
court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not serve to invalidate any portion of this Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section or part of a Section so declared to be unlawful or
invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner that will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 
  

	29.	Section 409A 

 No provision of this Plan shall be given effect
to the extent that such provision would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code. No action, or failure to act, pursuant to this Section 29 or to any other provision of the Plan that references Section 409A of the
Code shall subject the Committee, the Board or the Company to any claim, liability or expense, and neither the Committee, the Board nor the Company shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect any Grantee from the obligation to pay
any taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.
