and all such interpretations, rules and regulations shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. In addition, the Committee may delegate to one or more senior executive officers of the Company the right to administer the Plan as it pertains to
employees who are not officers of the Company or of any other Corporate Unit. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 7 hereof, the Committee may impose such conditions on participation in and Awards under the Plan as it deems appropriate. The Plan

with respect to Award Periods that extend for at least one year, individuals who are full-time salaried employees of a Corporate Unit on August 1 of the first year of the Award Period and the last day of the Award Period shall also be eligible

in the Plan for any Award Period, which criteria shall be set forth in the Addendum to the Plan applicable to such Corporate Unit. 
  

	5.	Designation of Participants 

 The Committee shall determine and
designate from time to time those Employees who shall be Participants. The designation of an Employee as a Participant in the Plan for any Award period shall not bestow upon such Employee any right to receive an Award for such Award Period or the
right to be designated as a Participant for any subsequent Award Period. 
  

	6.	Individual Award Opportunity 

 For each Award Period, the Committee
shall establish for each Participant a Target Award, expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary earnings or base annual salary for such Award Period, on the basis of his or her salary grade designation. 
  

	7.	Determination of Awards 

 Except as otherwise provided by the
Committee, Awards for each Award Period for Participants in each Corporate Unit shall be determined in accordance with the Award Schedule established by the Committee for such Corporate Unit and no Award shall be paid to any Participant in a
Corporate Unit for any Award Period in which the performance of such Corporate Unit does not equal or exceed the Threshold applicable to such Corporate Unit. The Award for each Participant in a Corporate Unit shall be his or her Target Award
multiplied by the Percent Attainment (determined in accordance with the applicable Award Schedule), subject to the following: 
 (a) Subject to paragraph 3 and the provisions of this paragraph 7, the Committee may adjust such Award for individual performance on the basis of such quantitative and qualitative performance measures and evaluations as it deems
appropriate. 
  

 2 

 (b) Subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph 7(c) below, the Committee may make
such adjustments as it deems appropriate in the case of any Participant whose salary grade designation has changed during the applicable Award Period or who has been employed in more than one Corporate Unit during an Award Period. 
 (c) Unless and until the Committee proposes for stockholder vote a change in the general performance measures set forth in this paragraph
7(c), the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout with respect to Awards under the Plan which are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the performance measure(s) to be used for purposes of such Awards shall be
chosen from among the following alternatives: return on operating assets, operating profit, return on equity, net income, stock price, revenue growth, marginal income, expense management, inventory management, quality management, customer service
performance, shareholder return, gross margin management; market share improvement, safety results, quality results, price margin management, on time delivery, productivity and days sales outstanding (accounts receivable management). The Committee
shall have the discretion to establish performance goals based upon the foregoing performance measures and to adjust such goals and the methodology used to measure the determination of the degree of attainment of such goals; provided, however, that
Awards under the Plan that are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception and that are issued to or held by any Named Executive Officer may not be adjusted in a manner that increases such Award. The Committee shall retain the discretion
to adjust such Awards in a manner that does not increase such Awards. Furthermore, the Committee shall not make any adjustment to Awards under the Plan issued to or held by any Named Executive Officer that are intended to comply with the
Performance-Based Exception if the result of such adjustment would be the disqualification of such Award under the Performance-Based Exception. Any Award, which is intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, and is granted at or after
the first meeting of the Company’s stockholders that occurs during or after 2008, must be consistent with, and pursuant to the terms of, the Plan approved by the stockholders at such meeting. In the event that applicable laws change to permit
the Committee greater discretion to amend or replace the foregoing performance measures applicable to Awards to Named Executive Officers without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such
changes without obtaining such approval. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards under the Plan to Named Executive Officers or other Participants that are not intended to qualify for the
Performance-Based Exception, the Committee may make such grants upon any objective or subjective performance criteria it deems appropriate with the understanding that they will not satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may a Participant be paid an Award in any calendar year in excess of $2,000,000. 

 

 3 

	8.	Payment of Awards 

 Awards shall be paid in cash as soon as
practicable after the end of the Award Period for which the Award is made, but in no event later than 2-1/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the Award Period ends; provided, further that that no payment shall be made with respect
to an Award which is intended to qualify under the Performance-Based Exception until the Committee has certified in writing that the performance goals and other materials terms of the Award have been met. If a Participant to whom an Award has been
made dies prior to the payment of the Award, such Award shall be delivered to his or her legal representative or to such other person or persons as shall be determined by the Chairman, the President, the Chief Executive Officer or the Vice
President-Human Resources of the Company. The Company or other applicable Corporate Unit shall have the right to deduct from all Awards payable under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld by the Company or other Corporate Unit with
respect thereto; provided, however, that to the extent provided by the Committee, any payment under the Plan may be deferred and to the extent deferred, may be credited with an interest or earnings factor as determined by the Committee; provided,
however, that in the case of an Award which is intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, such interest or earnings factor shall comply with the requirements applicable to such Exception under Treas. Reg. § 1.162-27(e)(iii). If
the Committee determines that payment of an Award may be deferred, such deferral arrangement shall be in writing and shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. 
  

	9.	Termination of Employment 

 Except in the case of death, disability,
normal retirement (determined in accordance with the qualified retirement plans of the Corporation) or Release or except as provided in paragraph 10, a Participant must be an employee as of the end of the Award Period in order to be eligible for an
Award. 
  

	10.	Change of Control 

 In the event of a Change of Control of the
Company (as hereinafter defined), the Plan shall remain in full force and effect for the remainder of any Award Period (or, if longer, the remainder of the calendar year) during which such Change of Control of the Company occurs, and each
Participant employed immediately prior to such Change of Control of the Company whose separation from employment is due to a Release on the date of or within the remainder of any Award Period (or, if longer, the remainder of the calendar year)
following such a Change of Control of the Company shall receive an Award for such Award Periods (or any Award Periods occurring in such calendar year) equal to his or her Target Award pro-rated to the date on which the Participant ceases to be an
Employee if such date occurs prior to the last day of the applicable Award Period, regardless of whether or not Awards would otherwise have been payable under the Plan for such Award Periods and regardless of whether or not such Participant was an
Employee at the end of any such Award Period. 
  

 4 

 A “Change of Control of the Company” shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
 (a) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)), other than (w) the Company, (x) a trustee or other fiduciary holding voting securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, (y) an underwriter temporarily holding voting securities pursuant to an
offering of such securities, or (z) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the security holders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of voting securities of the Company, is or becomes the

directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; 
 (b) during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to May 11, 2007), individuals who at the beginning of
such period constitute the Board and any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s security holders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who
either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved (collectively, “Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; provided, however,
that any director who assumes office in connection with an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clauses (a), (c) or (d) of this paragraph 10 or any new director who assumes office in connection with or as a
result of an actual or threatened proxy or other election contest of the Board shall never be (at any time) a Continuing Director for purposes of this paragraph 10, and the nomination or election of such person shall never constitute, or be deemed
to constitute, an approval by the Continuing Directors for purposes of this paragraph 10; 
 (c) there occurs a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding
or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the direct or indirect parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding voting securities under an employee benefit plan of the
Company, at least 60% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or the direct or indirect parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or a merger or consolidation
effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person acquires more than 40% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; 
 (d) the holders of voting securities of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or 
  

 5 

 (e) there occurs any other event that the Board deems to be a Change of Control of the
Company. 
 For purposes of this paragraph 10, a Participant’s separation from employment, whether initiated by the Company (or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof) or the Participant, shall be deemed a separation from employment due to Release, provided that one of the following events has occurred: 
 (a) an involuntary reassignment of the Participant to a position in a lower job grade as compared to the job grade of the position held by
the Participant immediately prior to the Change of Control of the Company, or to a position that is expected to last for less than 12 months following the Change of Control of the Company; 
 (b) a reduction by the Company in such Participant’s annual base pay as in effect on the date of the Change of Control of the
Company, or as the same may be increased from time to time; 
 (c) the requirement by the Company that such Participant change
the location of his principal place of employment more than fifty miles from the location immediately prior to the Change of Control of the Company except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with
the employee’s business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change of Control of the Company; 
 (d) the failure
by the Company, without such Participant’s consent, to pay to the Participant any portion of his or her current compensation or to pay to the Participant any portion of an installment of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation
program of the Company, within seven days of the date such compensation is due other than an inadvertent failure to pay any such compensation which failure is cured within 7 days of the date notice of such failure is provided to the Company by the
Participant; 
 (e) the failure by the Company to continue in effect any compensation or benefit plan in which such
Participant participated immediately prior to the Change of Control of the Company which is material to his total compensation, including but not limited to, the Ryerson Pension Plan and the Ryerson Savings Plan or any substitute or successor plans
as may be adopted prior to the Change of Control of the Company, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan, or the failure by the Company to continue the
Participant’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable than immediately prior to the Change of Control of the Company both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the
level of his or her participation relative to other participants; or 
 (f) the failure by the Company to continue to provide
the Participant with benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by him or her under any of the Company’s pension, life insurance, medical, dental, health and accident, or disability plans in which he or she was participating immediately
prior to the Change of Control of the Company, 

  

 6 

 
the taking of any action by the Company which would directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits enjoyed by him or her immediately prior to
the Change of Control of the Company, or the failure by the Company to provide him or her with the number of paid vacation days to which he or she is entitled on the basis of years of service with the Company in accordance with the Company’s
normal vacation policy in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control of the Company. 
  

	11.	Transferability 

 Any payment to which a Participant may be entitled
under the Plan shall be free from the control or interference of any creditor of such Participant and shall not be subject to attachment or susceptible of anticipation or alienation. The interest of a Participant shall not be transferable except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	12.	No Right to Participate; Employment 

 Neither the adoption of the
Plan nor any action of the Committee shall be deemed to give any Employee any right to be designated as a Participant under the Plan. Further, nothing contained in the Plan, nor any action by the Committee or any other person hereunder, shall be
deemed to confer upon any Employee any right of continued employment with any Corporate Unit or to limit or diminish in any way the right of any Corporate Unit to terminate his or her employment at any time with or without cause. 
  

	13.	Nonexclusivity of the Plan 

 This Plan is not intended to and shall
not preclude the Board of Directors of the Company from adopting or continuing such additional compensation arrangements as it deems desirable for Participants under this Plan, including any thrift, savings, investment, stock purchase, stock option,
profit sharing, pension, retirement, insurance or other incentive, compensation or benefit plan or program, including, without limitation, a bonus arrangement or award based on subjective performance factors.

Participant who is an Eligible Employee for such payroll period may elect, at such time and in such manner as the Plan Administrator may determine (but not later than the end of the calendar year preceding the beginning of the payroll period or, in
respect of any payroll period beginning in a calendar year in which a person first becomes an Eligible Employee, within 30 days of first becoming an Eligible Employee and then only with respect to payroll periods commencing on or after the date of

of limitations on Participant Before Tax Contributions and Company Contributions imposed by Code Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) and 415. 

 3.04 Nature of Participant Deferrals and Employer Credits. Any amounts deferred by Participants or credited to
Participants pursuant to this Article III shall be retained by the Employers as general assets of the Employers, and shall be reflected on the books of the Employers solely for the purpose of computing Participants’ benefits from the Plan.

 ARTICLE IV 
 ACCOUNTS 

 4.01 Maintenance of Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain in the records of the Plan an Account for each Participant
reflecting each Participant’s interest in the Plan attributable to Participant Deferrals and Employer Credits made on his or her behalf, increased by earnings attributable thereto. Each Participant shall at all times be fully vested in the
portion of the Participant’s Account which is attributable to Participant Deferrals. 
 4.02 Valuation of Accounts. As of each Valuation Date,
and as of such other date as the Plan Administrator may determine, the Account of each Participant shall be (a) adjusted for earnings or losses for the period since the next preceding Valuation Date as set forth in Section 4.03,
(b) increased by Participant Deferrals and Employer Credits under the Plan with respect to such Participant relating to payroll periods since the next preceding Valuation Date, and (c) charged with any distribution calculated as of that
date under Article V. 
 4.03 Earnings and Losses. Except as provided in the following sentence, each Participant’s Account shall be credited
with interest in accordance with paragraph (a) below. On and after the Effective Date, each Participant may elect to have all or any portion of his Account converted to Stock Units in accordance with paragraph (b) below. Each such election
by a Participant shall be made at such times and in such form and otherwise in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Plan Administrator shall establish from time to time, including such rules and procedures as may be established by the
Plan Administrator for compliance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). A Participant may elect to change any election made under this Section 4.03 to the extent permitted by and in
accordance with such rules and procedures as the Plan Administrator may establish from time to time. 
 (a) To the extent that a Participant’s Account
is to be credited with interest, it shall be at a rate of interest earned by assets in the Managed Income Portfolio Fund II, or any successor fund, established under the Savings Plan. 
 (b) To the extent that any portion of a Participant’s Account is to be credited as Stock Units as of any date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.03, the number of Stock Units credited to the
Participant’s Account shall be determined by dividing such amount by the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s common stock on that date. As of each cash dividend payment date for the Company’s common stock, each Participant
shall be credited with an additional number of Stock Units which is equal to (i) the dividend which would have been paid on such date on that number of shares of Company common stock which is equal to the number of Stock Units credited to the
Participant under the Plan on the record date for such dividend, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the dividend payment date. In the event of any changes in outstanding shares of the
Company’s common stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, other non-cash dividend recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, the Board shall make such
adjustments, if any, that it deems appropriate in the number of Stock Units then credited to Participant Accounts. Any and all such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties concerned. 
 (c) In the event of a Change in Control, the Board may convert any Stock Units in a Participant’s Account to a cash amount equal to (i) in the event the Change
in Control is a merger in which all of the consideration paid for shares of Company common stock is cash, the product of the per share merger consideration and the number of Stock Units in such Participant’s account, or (ii) in all other
cases, the product of the Fair Market Value of a share of Company common stock on the date of the Change in Control and the number of Stock Units in such Participant’s account. 
 ARTICLE V 
 DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS 
 5.01 Distribution Upon Termination of Employment. 
 (a) All
distributions under the Plan will be made in cash. Distributions with respect to any portion of a Participant’s Account which is denominated in Stock Units shall be based upon the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s common stock
on the day as of which the distribution is made. 

 (b) Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service with the Employers and Related Companies other than by reason of a
Distributable Event and prior to (i) the completion of three Years of Vesting Service and (ii) the date on which he or she has a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in his or her account balance under the Savings Plan, the Participant
shall be entitled to a distribution of the portion of his or her Account balance attributable to Participant Deferrals in a single lump sum payment as of a Valuation Date, as elected by the Participant in accordance with rules established from time
to time by the Plan Administrator, that is no later than 60 days after the first anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 (c) Upon a
Participant’s Separation from Service with the Employers and Related Companies by reason of a Distributable Event on or after (i) the completion of three Years of Vesting Service, or (ii) the date on which he or she has a fully vested
and nonforfeitable interest in his or her account balance under the Savings Plan, the Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of his or her entire Account balance in a single lump sum payment as of a Valuation Date, as elected by the
Participant in accordance with rules established from time to time by the Plan Administrator, that is no later than 60 days after the first anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 (d) Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service with the Employers and Related Companies by reason of Permanent Incapacity or Retirement, and where the amount
payable to the Participant is at least $10,000, the Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of his or her entire Account balance, payable to the Participant in either of the following ways, as elected by the Participant in accordance with
rules established from time to time, by the Plan Administrator: 
 (1) in a single lump sum payment representing the full amount distributable to the
Participant, payable on a date elected by the Participant which is not later than the end of the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 75, and not earlier than the first Valuation Date following the year in which such Separation from
Service occurs; or 
 (2) in substantially equal installments, payable annually, over a period not extending beyond the end of the calendar year in which the
Participant attains age 75, with each installment payment being equal to that amount determined by multiplying the then remaining balance in the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date used for purposes of calculating the payment by a
fraction having a numerator of one and a denominator equal to the number of installments remaining to be paid. 
 5.02 Distribution Upon Death. Upon
the death of a Participant, the total value of the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date immediately following the date of death shall be distributed thereafter to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single lump sum payment as soon
as practicable after satisfactory proof of death shall have been submitted to the Plan Administrator. 
 5.03 Unforeseeable Emergency. Upon a showing
by a Participant of an unforeseeable emergency within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of such portion (or all) of his or her Account balance as shall be reasonably necessary to meet such
unforeseeable emergency. The Plan Administrator’s determination of a Participant’s unforeseeable emergency hereunder shall be final. 
 5.04
Liability for Benefit Payments. The amount of any benefit payable under the Plan shall be paid from the general revenues of the Employer that last employs the Participant. An Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be reduced to the
extent that any amounts due under the Plan are paid from one or more trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims of general creditors of the Employer or any affiliate thereof; provided, however, that nothing in the Plan shall require the
Company or any Employer to establish any trust to provide benefits under the Plan. 
 5.05 Special Distribution Election Rules. 
 (a) Any payment election made by a Participant pursuant to Section 5.01(b), (c) or (d) shall be made in the same instrument by which he or she evidences
his or her acceptance of the provisions of the Plan pursuant to Article II. Where no election is made by a Participant under Section 5.01 in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected a lump sum
distribution as of the first anniversary of his or her Separation from Service. 
 (b) Notwithstanding a Participant’s election made in accordance with
Section 5.05(a), in the case of a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, no payment shall commence under Section 5.01(b), (c) or (d) before the date that is six months
after the Participant’s Separation from Service. To the extent that such an amount otherwise would have been payable during such six-month period, such amount shall be maintained under the Plan in accordance with its terms (including without
limitation Article IV) and distributed in a lump sum at or as soon as practicable following the end of such six-month period (or, if earlier, as of the date of the Participant’s death). 

 (c) A Participant may change the date on which a lump-sum distribution will be made or change the form of distribution
from lump-sum to installments (to the extent installments are otherwise available under Section 5.01(c)) by filing an election, in accordance with rules established from time to time by the Plan Administrator, at least one year prior to the
date that distribution otherwise would have been made (or, in the case of installments, commenced); provided that no such election shall be permitted which would (i) accelerate the time or schedule of any payment, except as permitted by
regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A, or (ii) delay a payment unless the first payment with respect to which such election is made is deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date the payment would otherwise
have been made. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary (including the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.05), in
accordance with rules established by the Plan Administrator or its delegate and in accordance with Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service guidance issued under Code Section 409A, no later than December 31, 2007, each Participant
shall be permitted to change his or her distribution election under the Plan for any distributions not payable before 2008.

 ARTICLE VII

7.01 No Right to Employment, etc. Neither the creation of this Plan nor anything contained herein shall be construed as giving any Participant hereunder or
other employees of the Employers or any Related Company any right to remain in the employ of the Employers or any Related Company. 
 7.02 Successors and
Assigns. All rights and obligations of this Plan shall inure to, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Employers.

Inalienability. Except so far as may be contrary to the laws of any state having jurisdiction in the premises, a Participant or Beneficiary shall have no right to assign, transfer, hypothecate, encumber, commute or anticipate his or her

it has received due notice of claim from a duly appointed guardian or conservator of the estate of the Participant or Beneficiary. A payment so made will be a complete discharge of the obligations under this Plan to the extent of and as to that
payment, and neither the Plan Administrator nor the Employers will have any obligation regarding the application of payment. 
 7.05 Controlling Law.
To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of Illinois shall be the controlling state law in all matters relating to this Plan.

 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 8.01 Amendment to
Conform with Law. The Plan may be amended to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan to any present or future law relating to plans of this or a similar nature, and to the
administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. 
 8.02 Other Amendments and Termination. The Plan may be amended at any time, without
the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan shall not be amended or terminated so as to reduce or cancel the benefits which have accrued to a Participant or Beneficiary prior to the later of the date of
adoption of the amendment or termination or the effective date thereof, and in the event of such amendment or termination, any such accrued benefit hereunder shall not be reduced or canceled. Upon termination of the Plan, benefits will be payable
under the terms of the Plan as in effect immediately before its termination. 

 8.03 Effect of Change in Control. 
 (a) In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below), all benefits accrued as of the date of such Change in Control hereunder shall become fully (i.e., 100%) and irrevocably vested, and shall become
distributable to Participants (and Beneficiaries) at such time and in such manner provided herein pursuant to the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the day immediately preceding the date of such Change in Control. The Plan Administrator shall,
in his or her sole discretion, determine whether assets equal in value to the aggregate of all accrued benefits under the Plan as of the date of such Change in Control shall be deposited by the Employers with a bank trustee pursuant to one or more
“rabbi trusts.” 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 8.03, a “Change in Control” means the happening of any of the following:

 (1) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than (w) the Company, (x) a trustee or
other fiduciary holding voting securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (y) an underwriter temporarily holding voting securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (z) a corporation
owned, directly or indirectly, by the security holders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of voting securities of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of voting securities of the Company (not including in the voting securities beneficially owned by such person any voting securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 20% or more
of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; 
 (2) during any period of two consecutive years (not including any
period prior to May 11, 2007), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s security holders was approved by a vote of at
least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved (collectively, “Continuing Directors”),
cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; provided, however, that any director who assumes office in connection with an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clauses (1), (3) or (4) of this subsection
(b) or any new director who assumes office in connection with or as a result of an actual or threatened proxy or other election contest of the Board, shall never be (at any time) a Continuing Director for purposes of this subsection (b), and
the nomination or election of such person shall never constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an approval by the Continuing Directors for purposes of this subsection (b) (provided that for the purposes of funding any rabbi trust or similar
escrow agreement, any Change in Control under this definition of Change in Control shall be deemed to occur at the beginning of the day of the stockholders’ meeting at which the stockholders are asked to vote on a slate of directors that could
result in Continuing Directors ceasing to constitute a majority of the Board); 
 (3) there occurs a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities
of the surviving entity or the direct or indirect parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding voting securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at least 60% of the combined voting power
of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or the direct or indirect parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the
Company (or similar transaction) in which no person acquires more than 40% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; 
 (4) the holders of voting securities of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or 
 (5) there occurs any other event that the Board deems to be a Change in Control. 
 (c) The provisions of this Section 8.03 may not be amended after the date of a Change in Control without the written consent of a majority in both number and interest of the Participants in this Plan, other than those Participants who
are both (i) not employed by the Company or a subsidiary as of the date of the Change in Control, and (ii) not receiving nor could have commenced receiving benefits under the Plan as of the date of the Change in Control, both immediately
prior to the Change in Control and at the date of such amendment. 

 8.04 Manner and Form of Amendment or Termination. Any amendment or termination of this Plan shall be made by
action of the Board; provided, however, that the Vice President-Human Resources of the Company and the Treasurer of the Company (or such other person as designated by the Chairman of the Board) are jointly authorized, by written action signed by
both such individuals: 
 (a) to adopt and place in effect such amendments to the Plan and any related documents as they jointly deem necessary or advisable;

 (b) to maintain the Plan and any related documents in compliance with applicable law; 
 (c) to relieve administrative burdens with respect to those documents; or 
 (d) to provide for other changes in the best
interests of Plan Participants and Beneficiaries without the necessity for further action by the Board or subsequent ratification; provided, however, that any action or amendment that would have the effect of: 
 (1) terminating the Plan; 
 (2) materially changing the benefits under the
Plan; or 
 (3) increasing anticipated costs associated with the Plan by more than $5 million, except for changes to comply with applicable law; 

may not be made without approval or ratification by the Board. 
 8.05
Notice of Amendment or Termination. The Plan Administrator shall notify Participants or Beneficiaries who are affected by any amendment or termination of this Plan within a reasonable time thereof.
