 3. ADMINISTRATION 
 The Plan shall
be administered by the Committee or such other persons designated by the Board. The Committee may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof consisting solely of at least two individuals who are each
“non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Act (or any successor rule thereto) and “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto). The Committee
shall have the authority to select the Covered Employees to be granted Awards under the Plan, to determine the size and terms of an Award (subject to the limitations imposed on Awards in Section 5 below), to modify the terms of any Award that
has been granted (except for any modification that would increase the amount of the Award), to determine the time when Awards will be made and the Performance Period to which they relate, to establish performance objectives in respect of such
Performance Periods and to certify that such performance objectives were attained; provided, however, that any such action shall be consistent with the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee is authorized to
interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan; provided, however, that any action
permitted to be taken by the Committee may be taken by the Board, in its discretion. The Committee may correct any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the 

  
 2 

 
manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its
sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned. Determinations made by the Committee under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such
Participants are similarly situated. The Committee shall have the right to deduct from any payment made under the Plan any federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. To the
extent consistent with the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may delegate to one or more employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the authority to take actions on its behalf pursuant to the Plan.

 4. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 

The Committee shall designate those persons who shall be Participants for each Performance Period. Participants shall be selected from among the Covered
Employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries who are in a position to have a material impact on the results of the operations of the Company or of one or more of its Subsidiaries. 
 5. AWARDS 
 (a) Performance Goals. Each of a Participant’s Awards shall be conditioned on the
attainment of performance goals that are approved by the Committee for a Performance Period and established in writing by the Committee (i) while the outcome for the Performance Period is substantially uncertain and (ii) no more than 90
days after the commencement of the Performance Period to which the performance goal relates or, if less than 90 days, the number of days which is equal to 25 percent of the relevant Performance Period. The Committee shall adopt or confirm a written
definition of each performance goal used in an Award at the time the Committee establishes such performance goal. If more than one performance goal is specified by the Committee for an Award, the Committee shall also specify in writing whether one,
all or some other number of such goals must be attained in order for payment to be made to the Participant with respect to the Award. The performance goals, which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more or the following criteria:
(i) earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ii) net income; (iii) operating income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) book value per Share; (vi) return on
stockholders’ equity; (vii) expense management; (viii) return on investment before or after the cost of capital; (ix) improvements in capital structure, debt to capital ratio or capital expenditures; (x) profitability of an
identifiable business unit or product; (xi) maintenance or improvement of profit margins; (xi) operating profit; (xiii) stock price; (xiv) market share; (xv) revenues or sales; (xvi) costs; (xvii) cash flow,
including operating cash flow, free cash flow or cash flow per share; (xviii) working capital; (xix) changes in net assets (whether or not multiplied by a constant percentage intended to represent the cost of capital); (xx) return on
assets; (xxi) economic value added; (xxii) price to earnings growth ratio; and (xxiii) total shareholder return. The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of its Subsidiaries or one or more of its divisions, units,
partnerships, joint ventures or minority investments, product lines or products or any combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one or more peer group companies of indices, or any combination
thereof, all as the Committee shall determine and specify in writing. In addition to any adjustments provided by the Award, in determining attainment of the performance goals for an Award, the Committee shall exclude unusual items whose exclusion
has the effect of increasing performance if such items constitute “extraordinary items” under generally accepted accounting principles or are unusual events or items. In addition, the Committee will adjust its calculations in
this regard to exclude the unanticipated effect on financial results of changes in the Code or other tax laws, or the regulations relating thereto. The maximum amount payable under all Awards granted with respect to a fiscal year for any participant
of the Company shall be 2% of the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates, adjusted to exclude non-core gains and charges. 

(b) Payment. The Committee shall determine whether, with respect to a Performance Period, the applicable performance goals have been met with respect to
a given Participant and, if they have, to so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Award. No Awards will be paid for such Performance Period until such certification 

  
 3 

 
is made by the Committee. The amount of the Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable performance goal formula (including zero), at the
discretion of the Committee. The amount of the Award determined by the Committee for a Performance Period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of such Performance Period,
but in no event later than the fifteenth day of the third month that begins after the end of the month that contains the last day of the Performance Period. 
 (c) Compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code. The provisions of this Section 5 shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code to ensure the
deductibility by the Company or its Subsidiaries of the payment of Awards. Subject to the preceding sentence, in the event the Committee determines that compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code is not desired with respect to a particular
Award, compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code shall not be required. In addition, if any provision of the Plan would cause Awards that are intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m)
of the Code, to fail to so qualify, that provision shall be severed from, and shall be deemed not to be a part of, the Plan, but the other provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect. 

(d) Termination of Employment. If a Participant dies, retires, is assigned to a different position, is granted a leave of absence, or if the
Participant’s employment is otherwise terminated (except with cause by the Company, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) during a Performance Period (other than a Performance Period in which a Change in Control occurs), a pro
rata share of the Participant’s award based on the period of actual participation shall be paid to the Participant after the end of the Performance Period, but only to the extent it would have become earned and payable, in accordance with the
preceding provisions of this Section 5, had the Participant’s employment status not changed; provided, however, that the amount of the Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable
performance goal formula (including zero), at the discretion of the Committee. 
 6. AMENDMENTS OR TERMINATION 

The Board or the Committee may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would diminish
any of the rights under any Award theretofore granted to a Participant under the Plan without such Participant’s consent; provided, however, that the Board or the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the
granting of Awards meeting the requirements of the Code or other applicable laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Board or the Committee may not amend, alter or discontinue the provisions relating to Section 10(b) of the
Plan after the occurrence of a Change in Control. 
 7. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT 
 Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant or other person any right to continue to be employed by or perform services for the Company or any Subsidiary,
and the right to terminate the employment of or performance of services by any Participant at any time and for any reason is specifically reserved to the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 8. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS 
 An award shall not be transferable or assignable by the
Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
 9. REDUCTION OF AWARDS 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee, in its sole discretion (but subject to applicable law), may reduce any amounts payable to
any Participant hereunder in order to satisfy any liabilities owed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by the Participant. 

  
 4 

 10. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CERTAIN EVENTS 
 (a) Generally. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any Share dividend or split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of
Shares or other corporate exchange, or any distribution to stockholders of Shares other than regular cash dividends or any similar transaction to the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion and without liability to any person may make such
substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable, as to any affected terms of outstanding Awards. 
 (b) Change in Control. In
the event that (i) a Participant’s employment is actually or constructively terminated during a given Performance Period (the “Affected Performance Period”) and (ii) a Change in Control shall have occurred within the 365
days immediately preceding the date of such termination, then such Participant shall receive, promptly after the date of such termination, an Award for the Affected Performance Period as if the performance goals for such Performance Period had been
achieved at 100%. 
 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 The Company is the sponsor and legal obligor under the Plan and shall make all payments hereunder, other than any payments to be made by any of the Subsidiaries (in which case payment shall be made by
such Subsidiary, as appropriate). The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to ensure the payment of any amounts under the Plan, and the Participants’ rights to the
payment hereunder shall be no greater than the rights of the Company’s (or Subsidiary’s) unsecured creditors. All expenses involved in administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company. 

12. CHOICE OF LAW 
 The Plan shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware. 
 13. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN 
 The re-approved Plan, as amended shall be effective
as of May 3, 2011.
