time by the Board. Members of the Committee shall 

	 	
serve at the pleasure of the Board, and the Board may from time to time remove members from, or add members to, the Committee. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and applicable law, the
Committee shall have full discretion and the exclusive power to: 

  

	 	a)	 select the Employees, Directors and Directors Emeritus who will participate in the Plan and to make Awards to
such Employees and Directors; 

  

	 	b)	 determine the times at which Awards shall be granted and any terms and conditions with respect to Awards as
shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan; and 

  

	 	c)	 resolve all questions relating to the administration of this Plan and applicable law. 

 

	4.2	 The interpretation of, and application by, the Committee of any provision of this Plan shall be final and
conclusive. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may establish rules and guidelines relating to this Plan as it may deem appropriate. 

  

	4.3	 A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. An action
in writing by all members of the Committee then serving shall be fully effective as if the action had been taken by unanimous vote at a meeting duly called and held. 

 

	4.4	 The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants, and agents as it may deem desirable for the

SECTION 6 
 Shares of
Stock Subject to the Plan 
  

	6.1	 Awards may be granted with respect to the Common Shares.

	6.3	 The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 17 of this Plan, shall be 2,000,000 Common Shares, all of which may be granted as ISOs. For the purpose of computing the total number of Common Shares available for Awards under this Plan, there shall be
counted against the foregoing limitation the number of Common Shares subject to issuance upon exercise of Awards as of the dates on which such Awards are granted. If any Awards are forfeited, terminated or exchanged for other Awards, or expire
unexercised, the Common Shares which were subject to such Awards shall again be available for Awards under this Plan to the extent of such forfeiture, termination or expiration; provided, however, that forfeited shares or other securities shall not
be available for further Awards if the Grantee has realized any benefits of ownership from such shares.

Section 17 of this Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued to any individual during the term of this Plan pursuant to Options granted under this Plan shall be 25% of the number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant
to this Plan, all of which may be granted as ISOs. 

 SECTION 7 

Stock Options 
  

	7.1	 The Committee may grant Options, as follows, which shall be evidenced by a stock option agreement and may be
designated as NQSOs or ISOs: 

  

	 	a)	 NQSOs 

  

	 	(i)	 A NQSO is a right to purchase a specified number of Common Shares during a period determined by the Committee,
not to exceed ten years, at a price determined by the Committee that is not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date the Option is granted. 

 

	 	(ii)	 The exercise price of the NQSO may be paid in cash. At the discretion of the Committee, the exercise price may
also be paid by the tender of Common Shares to the Corporation or through a combination of Common Shares and cash or through such other means as the Committee determines are consistent with the purpose of this Plan and applicable law. No fractional
Common Shares will be issued or accepted by the Corporation. 

  

	 	b)	 ISOs 

  

	 	(i)	 No ISO may be granted under this Plan to a Non-Employee Director.

  

	 	(ii)	 To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of the grant of the Award) of the number
of Common Shares with respect to which 

	 	
ISOs are exercisable under all plans of the Corporation or a Subsidiary for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, or such other limit as may be required by the
Code, such ISOs shall be treated as NQSOs to the extent of such excess. 

  

	 	(iii)	 No ISO may be exercisable more than: 

 

	 	A)	 ten years after the date the ISO is granted in the case of a Grantee who is not a Ten Percent Shareholder on
the date the ISO is granted; and 

  

	 	B)	 five years after the date the ISO is granted in the case of a Grantee who is a Ten Percent Shareholder on the
date the ISO is granted. 

  

	 	(iv)	 The exercise price of any ISO shall be determined by the Committee and shall not be less than:

  

	 	A)	 the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject to the ISO on the date of grant in the case of a Grantee who
is not a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date the ISO is granted; and 

  

	 	B)	 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject to the ISO on the date of grant in the
case of a Grantee who is a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date the ISO is granted. 

  

	 	(v)	 The Committee may provide that the exercise price under an ISO may be paid by one or more of the methods
available for paying the exercise price of an NQSO under Section 7.1(a)(ii) of this Plan. 

 SECTION 8 

Stock Appreciation Rights 
  

	8.1	 The amount payable with respect to each SAR shall be equal in value to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market
Value of a Common Share on the exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR. The exercise price of the SAR shall be determined by the Committee and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date the SAR is granted.
SARs may be granted in tandem with an Option in which event the Grantee has the right to elect to exercise either the SAR or the Option. Upon the election to exercise one of these Awards, the other Award is subsequently terminated. Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan to the contrary, a tandem SAR may not be exercised with respect to an ISO if the Fair Market Value of the ISO is less than the exercise price of the ISO. 

 

	8.2	 In the case of an SAR granted in tandem with an ISO to an Employee who is a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date
of such grant, the amount payable with respect to each SAR shall be equal in value to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR, which exercise price shall not be less than
110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date the SAR is granted. 

	8.3	 The exercise price and exercise period of an SAR shall be established by the Committee at the time the SAR is
granted. 

 SECTION 9 

Restricted Stock 
  

	9.1	 Restricted Shares are Common Shares that are issued to a Grantee at a price determined by the Committee, which
price may be zero, and are subject to restrictions on transfer and/or such other restrictions on incidents of ownership as the Committee may determine. 

  

	9.2	 The Committee shall specify in the restricted share award agreement the terms upon which Restricted Shares
shall vest. 

  

	9.3	 The Committee may, in its discretion, provide for accelerated vesting of Restricted Shares upon the achievement
of specified performance goals to be determined by the Committee. 

  

	9.4	 A Grantee may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. 

SECTION 10 
 Performance
Awards 
  

	10.1	 A Performance Award granted under this Plan: 

 

	 	a)	 may be denominated or payable in cash, Common Shares, Restricted Shares, other securities or other Awards; and

  

	 	b)	 shall confer on the holder thereof the right to receive payments, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of
such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee or a majority of the Outside Directors, excluding Directors Emeritus, shall establish. 

 

	10.2	 Subject to the terms of this Plan and any applicable Award agreement, the performance goals to be achieved
during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee.

 SECTION 11 

Other Stock-Based Incentive Awards 
  

	11.1	 The Committee may from time to time grant Awards under this Plan that provide a Grantee the right to purchase
Common Shares or units that are valued by reference to the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares (including, but not limited to, phantom securities or dividend equivalents) or to receive Deferred Shares. Such Awards shall be in a form determined by
the Committee (and may include terms contingent upon a Change of Control); provided that such Awards shall not be inconsistent with the terms and purposes of this Plan. 

SECTION 12 
 Rights in
the Event of Resignation, Removal or Termination 
  

	12.1	 The Committee may provide for the exercise of Options or SARs in installments and upon such terms, conditions
and restrictions as it may determine subject to applicable law and the other requirements of this Plan. 

  

	12.2	 Except in the event of the death, Disability or Retirement of a Grantee, upon the resignation or removal from
the board of directors of any Grantee who is a Non-Employee Director or upon the termination of employment of a Grantee who is not a Non-Employee Director (unless
Terminated for Cause), any Option or SAR which has not yet become exercisable or any other Award which has not yet vested shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force or effect, and, unless the Committee shall specifically state otherwise at
the time an Option or SAR is granted, any Option or SAR which has become exercisable shall terminate if it is not exercised before the earlier to occur of the date of its expiration or three months after such resignation, removal or termination of
employment or directorship. 

  

	12.3	 Unless the Committee shall specifically state otherwise at the time an Award is granted, in the event the
employment or the directorship of a Grantee is Terminated for Cause, any Option or SAR that has not been exercised and any other Award that has not vested shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force or effect. 

 

	12.4	 An Option or SAR granted hereunder shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, only by written notice delivered
in person or by mail to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office, specifying the portion of the Option or SAR being exercised and accompanied by payment of the exercise price and otherwise in accordance with the Award agreement
pursuant to which the Option or SAR was granted. 

  

	12.5	 Regardless of any other provision of the Plan or any Award agreement: 

 

	 	a)	 Subject to Section 12.5(b), if a Grantee becomes entitled to the payment, exercise or settlement of any
Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, upon the Grantee’s termination, the payment, exercise or settlement of such Award will not be made or permitted before the Grantee incurs a “separation from service” as defined
in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h) from the Corporation and all Subsidiaries (a “Separation from Service”). 

	 	b)	 If a Grantee is a specified employee within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-1(i) and as determined under the Corporation’s policy for determining specified employees and becomes entitled to the payment, exercise or settlement of any Award that is subject to
Section 409A of the Code upon the Grantee’s Separation from Service (as defined above), such payment, exercise or settlement of such an Award shall not be made until the first day of the seventh month following the Grantee’s
Separation from Service or, if earlier, the Grantee’s death. 

 SECTION 13 

Rights in Event of Death, Disability or Retirement 
  

	13.1	 If a Grantee dies, becomes subject to a Disability or enters Retirement prior to termination of his or her
right to exercise an Option or SAR in accordance with the provisions of his or her Award agreement without having totally exercised the Option or SAR, the Option or SAR will become exercisable in full on the date of the Grantee’s death,
Disability or Retirement, (i) in the event of the Grantee’s death, by the Grantee’s estate or by the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance, (ii) in the event of the Grantee’s
Disability, by the Grantee or his or her personal representative or (iii) in the event of a Grantee’s Retirement, by the Grantee. 

  

	13.2	 In the event of the Grantee’s death, Disability or Retirement, the Option or SAR shall not be exercisable
after the date of its expiration or more than twelve months from the date of the Grantee’s death, Disability or Retirement, whichever first occurs. 

  

	13.3	 If a Grantee dies, becomes subject to a Disability or enters Retirement prior to the vesting of any other
Award, all Awards that have not expired and which are then held by any Grantee (or the person or persons to whom any deceased Grantee’s rights have been transferred) shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code and become vested due to Retirement pursuant to this Section 13.3 shall not be paid, exercised or settled before the Grantee incurs a Separation from Service (as defined in
Section 12.5(a)). 

  

	13.4	 The date of Disability of a Grantee shall be determined (a) with respect to Awards subject to
Section 409A of the Code, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and (b) with respect to all other Awards, by the Committee. 

 SECTION 14 

Award Agreements 
  

	14.1	 Each Award granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an award agreement, as the Committee may deem
appropriate, between the Grantee to whom the Award is granted and the Corporation, setting forth the number of Common Shares, SARs, or units subject to the Award and such other terms and conditions applicable to the Award not inconsistent with this
Plan. 

  

	14.2	 The award agreement for an Option shall also be referred to as a stock option award agreement.

 SECTION 15 

Tax Withholding 
  

	15.1	 The Committee may establish such rules and procedures as it considers desirable in order to satisfy any
obligation of the Corporation to withhold federal income taxes or other taxes with respect to any Award made under this Plan. Such rules and procedures may provide: 

 

	 	a)	 in the case of Awards paid in Common Shares, the Corporation may withhold Common Shares otherwise issuable upon
exercise or settlement of such Award in order to satisfy withholding obligations, unless otherwise instructed by the Grantee or unless the Committee determines otherwise at the time of Grant; and 

 

	 	b)	 in the case of an Award paid in cash, that the withholding obligation shall be satisfied by withholding the
applicable amount at the time payable and paying the net amount in cash to the Grantee; provided that the requirements of the Rules, to the extent applicable, must be satisfied with regard to any withholding pursuant to clause (a).

 SECTION 16 

Change of Control 
  

	16.1	 For the purpose of this Plan, a “Change of Control” of the Corporation means: 

 

	 	(i)	 a change of control of the Corporation within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act of 1933, as
amended, and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the OTS, as in effect on the Effective Date (provided, that in applying the definition of change of control as set forth under the rules and regulations of the OTS, the Board shall substitute its
judgment for that of the OTS); 

  

	 	(ii)	 the time at which any “person” (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act)
is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in 

	 	
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 20% or more of the Corporation’s
outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at the election of directors; 

  

	 	(iii)	 the time at which individuals who constitute the Board on the date hereof (the “Incumbent Board”)
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least 75% of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or
whose nomination for election by the Corporation’s shareholders was approved by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board shall be, for purposes of this clause (iii), considered as though he were a member of the Incumbent
Board; 

  

	 	(iv)	 the consummation of a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the
assets of the Corporation or similar transaction in which the Corporation is not the resulting entity; 

  

	 	(v)	 the approval by shareholders of a proxy statement proposal submitted by someone other than management of the
Corporation seeking shareholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Corporation or similar transaction with one or more corporations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of securities then subject
to the plan or transaction are exchanged for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the Corporation; or 

  

	 	(vi)	 a completed tender offer for 20% or more of the voting securities of the Corporation by anyone other than the
Corporation. 

  

	16.2	 In the event of a Change of Control affecting the Corporation, then, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan
or of any provisions of any Award agreements entered into between the Corporation and any Grantee to the contrary, all Awards that have not expired and which are then held by any Grantee (or the person or persons to whom any deceased Grantee’s
rights have been transferred) shall, as of such Change of Control, become fully and immediately vested and exercisable and may be exercised for the remaining term of such Awards; provided, however, that in the event that any exercise or receipt of
an Award in connection with a Change of Control alone, or in the aggregate with other payments to a Grantee, would result in the imposition of a penalty tax pursuant to Section 280G of the Code, such exercise or receipt would remain subject to
any vesting schedule set forth in the Award agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code and become vested pursuant to this Section 16.2 shall not be paid or settled unless the Change of
Control constitutes a “change in control event” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5). 

 SECTION 17 

Dilution or Other Adjustment 
  

	17.1	 If the Corporation is a party to any merger or consolidation, or undergoes any merger, consolidation,
separation, reorganization, liquidation or the like, the Committee shall have the power to make arrangements, which shall be binding upon the holders of unexpired Awards, for the substitution of new Awards for, or the assumption by another
corporation of, any unexpired Awards then outstanding hereunder; provided that such substitution or assumption complies with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. 

 

	17.2	 In the event of any change in capitalization affecting the Common Shares, such as a stock split, stock

(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Committee shall have full and exclusive power and authority to administer this Plan and to take all actions that are
specifically contemplated hereby or are necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration hereof. The Committee shall also have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines to carrying
out this Plan as it may deem necessary or proper, all of which power shall be exercised in the best interests of the Company and in keeping with the objectives of this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide for the extension of the

such advisors. The Committee may engage or authorize, the engagement of a third party administrator to carry out administrative functions under the Plan. 

(c) No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made hereunder in good faith. Service on the Committee shall constitute
service as a Director so that the members of the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement as Directors of the Company pursuant to the Company’s articles of incorporation and regulations. 

3.3 Performance Goals. 
 (a) The Committee
may, in its discretion, provide that any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to the attainment of Performance Goals. Performance Goals may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship to the performance of other

in Sections 2.28 and 3.3(a), with respect to each performance period established by the Committee, (i) the Committee shall establish such Performance Goals relating to one or more of the business criteria selected pursuant to Sections 2.28 and

Committee, may differ among Participants. Following the completion of each performance period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which Performance Goals for that performance period have been achieved and shall authorize the award of Common
Shares or cash, as applicable, to the Participant for whom the targets were established, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreements. 

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY AND AWARDS 
 4.1
Participants. Participants shall consist of all Eligible Persons the Committee may designate from time to time to receive Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that Awards of Incentive Stock Options may only be made to an
Employee who is considered an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary for purposes of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-l(h) or any successor provision related thereto. 

4.2 Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan, any type of Awards may be granted by the Committee to any Participant, but only Employees

granted under another plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, including the plan of an acquired entity). 
 4.3 Award Agreements. Each
Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement specifying the terms and conditions of the Award. In the sole discretion of the Committee, the Award Agreement may condition the grant of an Award upon the Participant’s entering into one or more
of the following agreements with the Company: (a) an agreement not to compete with, or solicit the customers or employees of, the Company and its Subsidiaries, which shall become effective as of the date of the grant of the Award and remain in
effect for a specified period of time following termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company; (b) an agreement to cancel any employment agreement, fringe benefit or compensation arrangement in effect between the Company and

Participant’s forfeiture of an Award or the return of vested Common Shares received in connection with an Award in the event of the Participant’s noncompliance with the provisions of, or as otherwise provided in, such Award Agreement or
other agreement. If the Participant shall fail to enter into any such agreement at the request of the Committee and within any period specified by the Committee, then the Award granted or to be granted to such Participant shall be forfeited and
cancelled. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify the termination provisions of an Award upon a Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

4.4 Performance Awards. Without limiting the type or number of Awards that may be made under the other provisions of this Plan, an Award
may be in the form of a Performance Award. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Performance Awards granted to Participants pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided that any Stock Award which is a
Performance Award shall have a minimum Restriction Period of one year from the Grant Date; provided further that the Committee may provide for earlier vesting in an Employee Award upon a termination of employment by reason of death, Disability or
Retirement. The Committee shall set Performance Goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent which they are met, will determine the value, vesting and/or amount of Performance Awards that will be paid out. 

(a) Nonqualified Performance Awards. Nonqualified Performance Awards granted to Participants shall be based on achievement of such Performance Goals and be
subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee shall determine. 
 (b) Qualified Performance Awards. Qualified Performance Awards
granted to Covered Employees under the Plan shall be paid, vested or otherwise deliverable solely on account of the attainment of one or more Performance Goals established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (x) ninety
(90) days after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goal relates, or (y) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as scheduled in good faith at the time the goal is established) to which the Performance
Goal relates, and in any event while the outcome of the Performance Award is substantially uncertain. In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to 

 
Performance Goals and Qualified Performance Awards, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m), as to grants to Covered Employees and those Employees whose
compensation is likely to be subject to Section 162(m), and the Committee shall be guided by such provisions in establishing such goals. Prior to the payment of any compensation relating to Qualified Performance Awards based on the achievement
of Performance Goals, the Committee must certify in writing that applicable Performance Goals and any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to
any Qualified Performance Awards made pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee. No Qualified Performance Awards shall be granted unless the Performance Goals have been approved by the shareholders of the Company within five
(5) years of the commencement of the performance period to which such Performance Goals relate. The Committee, in determining the actual amount of a Qualified Performance Award, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the amount of the
Qualified Performance Award payout through the use of negative discretion provided that the exercise of such negative discretion does not cause the Qualified Performance Award to fail to qualify as performance-based compensation under
Section 162(m). 
 SECTION 5. COMMON SHARES 

5.1 Total Number of Common Shares. 
 (a)
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3, the total number of Common Shares that may be subject to Awards granted under the Plan shall be 1,200,000 Common Shares. The number of Common Shares available for grant under the Plan shall be
reduced by (i) one (1) for each Common Share subject to a Stock Option or SAR; and (ii) one (1) for each Common Share subject to a Stock Award, a Stock Unit or a Long-Term Incentive Award. Common Shares subject to Awards granted
under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares, and shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Plan. Substitute Awards do not reduce the Common Shares available for Awards under the
Plan. 
 (b) Any Common Shares subject to an Award that is cancelled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization, either in full or in part,
shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Any Common Shares that again become available for future grants pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall be added back as one (1) Common Share if such shares were subject to Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights; and as one (1) Common Share if such shares were subject to other Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Common Shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available
for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such shares are (i) shares tendered in payment of an Option, (ii) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, or (iii) shares covered by a
share-settled Stock Appreciation Right or other Awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award. 
 5.2 Limitations.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3: 
 (a) Of the total Common Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to
Section 5.1, the maximum number of Common Shares under the Plan that shall be available for (i) Awards of Incentive Stock Options is 1,200,000 Common Shares; and (ii) Awards of Nonqualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
is 1,200,000 Common Shares. 
 (b) No Participant shall be granted, during any one (1) calendar year period, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights with
respect to more than 300,000 Common Shares in the aggregate, or any other Awards with respect to more than 300,000 Common Shares in the aggregate. If an Award is to be settled in cash, the number of Common Shares on which the Award is based shall
not count towards the individual share limit set forth in this Section 5.2(b). 
 (c) The maximum number of Common Shares subject to a Qualified
Performance Award that may be granted under the Plan in any one (1) calendar year to a Participant is 300,000 Common Shares. 
 (d) During any one
(1) calendar year, no Non-Employee Director may receive Awards with an aggregate grant date Fair Market Value in excess of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). 

5.3 Adjustment. In the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, share split, share distribution, share dividend, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, subdivision, consolidation or exchange of shares, any change 

 
in the capital structure of the Company or any similar corporate transaction, the Committee shall make such adjustments as are necessary and appropriate to preserve the benefits or intended
benefits of the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan. Such adjustments may include: (a) adjustment in the number and kind of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan; (b) adjustment in the number and kind of Common Shares
covered by outstanding Awards; (c) adjustment in the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or the price of other Awards under the Plan; (d) adjustments to the share limitations set forth in
Section 5.2 of the Plan; and (e) any other changes that the Committee determines to be equitable under the circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, previously granted Stock Options and SARs are subject only to such adjustments as are
necessary to maintain the relative proportionate interest the Stock Options and SARs represented immediately prior to such event and to preserve, without exceeding, the value of Stock Options and SARs in accordance with Code Section 422 and
Section 409A. 
 SECTION 6. STOCK OPTIONS 

6.1 Grant. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may from time to time grant Stock Options to Participants. Stock Options
granted under the Plan to Non-Employee Directors shall be NSOs. Unless otherwise expressly provided at the time of the grant to be Awards of ISOs, Stock Options granted under the Plan to Employees shall be
NSOs. 
 6.2 Stock Option Agreement. The grant of each Stock Option shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement sometimes referred
to herein as a “Stock Option Agreement” specifying the type of Stock Option granted, the exercise period, the exercise price, the terms for payment of the exercise price, the expiration date of the Stock Option, the number of Common Shares
to be subject to each Stock Option, how the Stock Option will be exercised, and such other terms and conditions established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, not inconsistent with the Plan. With respect to a Stock Option, in no event shall a
Participant be entitled to amounts equivalent to cash dividends, share dividends or other property dividends on the Common Shares subject to the Stock Option. 

6.3 Exercise Price and Period. With respect to each Stock Option granted to a Participant; 

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.4(b), Section 16.3, or in the case of Substituted Awards, the per share exercise price of each Stock Option
shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject to the Stock Option on the date on which the Stock Option is granted. 

(b) Each Stock Option shall become exercisable as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Committee shall have
the discretion to accelerate the date as of which any Stock Option shall become exercisable in the event of the Employee’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, or a Non-Employee
Director’s termination of service on the Board or on the board of directors of a Subsidiary, without Cause. 
 (c) Except as provided in
Section 6.4(b), each Stock Option that has not terminated earlier as provided in the Stock Option Agreement shall expire, and all rights to purchase Common Shares thereunder shall expire, on the date ten (10) years after the date of grant.

 (d) If the employee’s employment terminates as a result of the employee’s Disability, the employee may exercise the vested portion of each ISO,
but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of: (a) the date 12 months following the employee’s termination of employment or (b) the Expiration Date. If the employee’s employment terminates as a result of the
employee’s death, the vested portion of each ISO may be exercised by the employee’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the ISO by bequest or inheritance or by the person designated to exercise the ISO upon the
employee’s death, but only within the time period ending on the earlier of: (a) the date 12 months following the employee’s termination of employment or (b) the Expiration Date. 

 6.4 Required Terms and Conditions of ISOs. In addition to the foregoing, each ISO
granted to an Employee shall be subject to the following specific rules: 
 (a) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined with respect to each ISO at the
time such Option is granted) of the Common Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an Employee during any calendar year (under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not exceed One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). If the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of the Common Shares subject to an ISO which first becomes exercisable in any calendar year exceeds the limitation of this Section 6.4(a),
so much of the ISO that does not exceed the applicable dollar limit shall be an ISO and the remainder shall be a NSO; but in all other respects, the original Stock Option Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an ISO is granted to an Employee who owns shares possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the
total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company (or its parent or subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code): (i) the purchase price of each Common Share subject to the ISO shall be not less than
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Share on the date the ISO is granted; and (ii) the ISO shall expire, and all rights to purchase Common Shares thereunder shall expire, no later than the fifth
(5th) year anniversary of the date the ISO was granted. 
 (c) No ISOs shall be granted under the Plan after the ten (10) year anniversary of the
Effective Date. 
 6.5 Exercise of Stock Options. 

(a) A Participant entitled to exercise a Stock Option may do so by delivering written notice to that effect specifying the number of Common Shares with respect
to which the Stock Option is being exercised and any other information the Committee may prescribe. All notices or requests provided for herein shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company or such party as the Secretary of the Company may
designate. 
 (b) The Committee in its sole discretion may make available one or more of the following alternatives for the payment of the Stock Option
exercise price and specified in the Award Agreement: 
 (i) in cash; 

(ii) by directing the Company to withhold the number of Common Shares otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Stock Option that have an
aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price; 
 (iii) by delivering previously acquired Common Shares that are acceptable to the Committee and
that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Stock Option exercise price. 
 The Committee shall have the sole discretion
to establish the terms and conditions applicable to any alternative made available for payment of the Stock Option exercise price; however, such terms shall be specified in the Award Agreement effective at the date of grant. 

(c) The Company shall, subject to compliance with the Exchange Act and other applicable laws, issue, in the name of the Participant, share certificates
representing the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of any Stock Option as soon as reasonably practicable after such exercise. 

SECTION 7. STOCK AWARDS 
 7.1
Grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, (a) grant Common Shares under the Plan to any Participant without payment of consideration by such Participant, (b) grant shares of Restricted Stock to any Participant, or
(c) sell Common Shares under the Plan to any Participant for such amount of cash, Common Shares or other consideration as the Committee deems appropriate. 

7.2 Stock Award Agreement. Each Common Share issued to a Participant under this Section 7 shall be evidenced by a written Award
Agreement sometimes referred to herein as a “Stock Award Agreement”, which shall specify whether the Common Shares are granted or sold to the Participant and such other restrictions, terms and conditions

 
(including the attainment of Performance Goals) established by the Committee in its sole discretion, not inconsistent with the Plan and the following provisions: 

(a) The restrictions to which the Common Shares awarded hereunder are subject shall lapse as set forth in the Stock Award Agreement. The Committee shall have
the discretion to accelerate the date as of which the restrictions lapse with respect to a Stock Award in the event of an Employee’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, or a
Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board or on the board of directors of a Subsidiary, without Cause, after giving consideration to Section 409A. 

(b) Except as provided in this subsection (b) and unless otherwise provided in the Stock Award Agreement, the Participant receiving a grant of or
purchasing Common Shares shall thereupon be a shareholder with respect to all of the Common Shares subject to the Stock Award and shall have the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares, including the right to vote such shares and to
receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of a Stock Award that provides for the right to receive dividends or distributions: (i) if such Stock Award is
Restricted Stock, the Company may accumulate and hold such dividends or distributions. In either such case, the accumulated dividends or other distributions shall be paid to the Participant only upon the lapse of the restrictions to which the Stock
Award is subject, and any such dividends or distributions attributable to the portion of a Stock Award for which the restrictions do not lapse shall be forfeited. 

(c) The Company shall, subject to compliance with the Exchange Act and other applicable laws, issue, in the name of the Participant, share certificates
representing the total number of Common Shares granted or sold to the Participant, as soon as may be reasonably practicable after such grant or sale, which, in the case of Restricted Stock, may be held by the Secretary of the Company until such time
as the Common Shares are forfeited or the restrictions lapse. 
 (d) A Participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. If any
Participant shall make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code, such Participant shall notify the Company of such election within 10 days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service. 

SECTION 8. STOCK UNITS 
 8.1
Grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Units to any Participant. Each Stock Unit shall entitle the Participant to receive, on the date or upon the occurrence of an event (including the attainment of Performance
Goals) as described in the Stock Unit Agreement, one Common Share or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of such event, as provided in the Stock Unit Agreement. 

8.2 Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units to a Participant under this Section 8 shall be evidenced by a written Award
Agreement sometimes referred to herein as a “Stock Unit Agreement”, which shall specify the restrictions, terms and conditions established by the Committee in its sole discretion, not inconsistent with the Plan and the following
provisions: 
 (a) The restrictions to which the Stock Units awarded hereunder are subject shall lapse as set forth in the Stock Unit Agreement. The Board
shall have the discretion to accelerate the date as of which the restrictions lapse in the event of an Employee’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, or a Non-Employee
Director’s termination of service on the Board or on the board of directors of a Subsidiary, without Cause, after giving consideration to Section 409A. 

(b) Except as provided in this subsection (b), and unless otherwise provided in the Stock Unit Agreement, a Participant shall have no rights of a shareholder,
including voting or dividend or other distribution rights, with respect to any Stock Units prior to the date they are settled in Common Shares. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide that, until the Stock Units are settled in Common Shares or cash, the
Participant shall receive, on each dividend or distribution payment date applicable to the Common Shares, an amount equal to the dividends or distributions that the Participant would have received had the Stock Units held by the Participant as of
the related record date been actual Common Shares. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of a Stock Unit Award that provides for the right to receive amounts related to dividends or distributions: (i) if such Stock Unit Award is
subject to performance-based restrictions as described in Section 3.3, the Company shall accumulate and hold such amounts, and (ii) in the case of all other such Stock Unit Awards, the Committee shall have the discretion to cause the
Company to accumulate and hold such amounts. In either such case, the accumulated amounts shall be paid to the Participant only upon the lapse of the restrictions to which the Stock Unit Award is subject and any such amounts attributable to the
portion of a Stock Unit Award for which the restrictions do not lapse shall be forfeited. 

 (c) Upon settlement of Stock Units in Common Shares, the Company shall, subject to compliance with the
Exchange Act and other applicable laws, issue, in the name of the Participant, share certificates representing a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Stock Units being settled. 

SECTION 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS (SARS) 
 9.1
Grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant an SAR under the Plan to any Participant who is an Employee. Each SAR granted to a Participant shall entitle the Participant to receive an amount (payable in cash or in Common
Shares, or a combination thereof, determined by the Committee and set forth in the related Stock Appreciation Right Agreement) equal to the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value per Common Share on the date of exercise of such SAR, over
(b) the exercise price of the SAR, multiplied by the number of Common Shares with respect to which the SAR is being exercised. 
 9.2
Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Each SAR granted under this Section 9 shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement sometimes referred to herein as a “Stock Appreciation Right Agreement”, specifying the
conditions for exercise, the exercise period, the exercise price, the expiration date, the number of Common Shares subject to each SAR, whether the SAR is to be settled in Common Shares or cash and such other terms and conditions established by the
Board in its sole discretion, not inconsistent with the Plan and the following provisions: 
 (a) Except in the case of Substituted Awards and
Section 16.3, the per share exercise price of each SAR shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject to the SAR on the date on which the SAR is granted. 

(b) Each SAR shall become exercisable as set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. The Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the date
as of which any SAR shall become exercisable in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary without Cause. 

(c) Unless a shorter period is provided in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, each SAR shall expire on the date ten (10) years after the date of
grant. 
 (d) Upon exercise of a SAR settled in Common Shares, the Company shall, subject to compliance with the Exchange Act and other applicable laws,
issue, in the name of the Participant, share certificates representing the total number of Common Shares issuable to the Participant. 
 With respect to a
Stock Appreciation Right, in no event shall a Participant be entitled to amounts equivalent to cash dividends, share dividends or other dividends on the Common Shares subject to the SAR. 

SECTION 10. ANNUAL BONUS AWARDS 
 Subject to the
terms of the Plan, the Committee will determine all terms and conditions of an Annual Bonus Award, including but not limited to, whether or not the Annual Bonus Award will be solely a discretionary Annual Bonus Award, any Performance Goals,
performance period, the potential payable, and the timing and form of payment. If the Committee determines that the Annual Bonus Award shall be a Performance Award (instead of a discretionary Annual Bonus Award): (a) the Committee must require
that payment of all or any portion of the amount subject to the Annual Bonus Award is contingent on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals during the performance period the Committee specifies, although the Committee may specify that all
or a portion of the Performance Goals subject to an Award is deemed achieved upon a Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, or such other circumstances as the Committee may specify; and (b) the performance period must relate to a
period of one (1) fiscal year of the Company except that, if the Award is made in the year this Plan becomes effective, at the time of commencement of employment with the Company or on the occasion of a promotion, then the Award may relate to a
period shorter than one (1) fiscal year. 

 SECTION 11. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS 

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee will determine all terms and conditions of a Long-Term Incentive Award, including but not limited to the
Performance Goals, performance period, the potential amount payable, and the timing and form of payment, subject to the following: (a) the Committee must require that payment of all or any portion of the amount subject to the Long-Term
Incentive Award is contingent on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals during the performance period the Committee specifies, although the Committee may specify that all or a portion of the Performance Goals subject to an Award is deemed
achieved upon a Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, or such other circumstances as the Committee may specify; and (b) the performance period must relate to a period of more than one (1) fiscal year of the Company. Dividend
equivalents shall not be paid until and to the extent that the Performance Goals are met. 
 The Committee may from time to time grant Awards under this
Plan that provide a Participant the right to purchase Common Shares that are valued by reference to the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares (including, but not limited to, dividend equivalents). Such Awards shall be in a form determined by the
Committee (and may include terms contingent upon a Change of Control); provided that such Awards shall not be inconsistent with the terms and purposes of this Plan. 

SECTION 12. CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 12.1
Effect of Change in Control. Except as otherwise provided in any Award Agreement, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary upon a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in Section 12.2) all NSOs, ISOs,
and SARs shall become immediately exercisable with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Common Shares subject to such NSOs, ISOs, and SARs. With respect to all Performance Awards, all Performance Goals and vesting criteria will be
deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire, and all other terms and conditions shall be deemed met. With respect to all other Awards, any Restriction Period shall immediately
expire, such Awards shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested, and all other terms and conditions will be deemed met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee, in its sole discretion (which
exercise of discretion shall be conclusive and binding upon each Participant without the need for any amendment to the Plan or to any Award Agreement), may take the following action with respect to any NSOs, ISOs, or SARs that are outstanding
immediately prior to such Change in Control: cancel outstanding NSOs, ISOs, and/or SARs in exchange for a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares underlying the unexercised portion of the
NSO, ISO, or SAR as of the date of the Change in Control over the exercise price or grant price, as the case may be, of such portion, provided that any NSO, ISO, or SAR with an exercise price or grant price, as the case may be, that equals or
exceeds the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date of such Change in Control shall be cancelled with no payment due the Participant. 
 12.2
Definition of Change in Control. “Change in Control” shall mean (except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s employment agreement or Award Agreement) the occurrence, at any time during the specified term of an
Award granted under the Plan, of any of the following events: 
 (a) The date any one person, or more than one person acting as a group acquires ownership
of shares of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the shares of the Company; 
 (b) The date that any one person, or more than
one person acting as a group, acquires the ability to control the election of a majority of the directors of the Company; 
 (c) The date a majority of the
members of the board of directors of the Company is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of such board of directors before
the date of the appointment or election; 
 (d) The acquisition by any person, or more than one person acting as a group, of “control” of the
Company within the meaning of 12 C.F.R. Section 303.81(c). 

 If an Award is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, the Award shall become payable only if
the event constituting a Change in Control would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5). 
 SECTION 13. SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS 

The Committee may impose such restrictions on Awards and Common Shares or any other benefits underlying Awards hereunder as it may deem advisable, including
without limitation restrictions under the Code and federal securities laws, the requirements of any stock exchange or similar organization, and any blue sky, state, or foreign securities laws applicable to such securities. Notwithstanding any other
Plan provision to the contrary, the Committee shall not be obligated to issue, deliver, or transfer Common Shares under the Plan, make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan, or take any other action, unless such delivery, distribution,
or action is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations (including but not limited to the requirements of the Code and the securities acts). The Committee may cause a restrictive legend to be placed on any Common Shares issued
pursuant to an Award hereunder in such form as may be prescribed from time to time by applicable laws and regulations or as may be advised by legal counsel. The term of an Award shall not be extended, and neither the Committee, nor the Company nor
its Directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to a Participant, the Participant’s successor or any other person with respect to any Common Shares as to which the Award shall lapse because of such restrictions. 

SECTION 14. PAYMENT OF TAXES 
 In connection with any
Award, and as a condition to the issuance or delivery of any Common Shares or cash amount to the Participant in connection therewith, the Company may require the Participant to pay the Company an amount equal to the minimum amount of the tax the
Company or any Subsidiary may be required to withhold to obtain a deduction for federal, state or local income tax purposes as a result of such Award or to comply with applicable law. The Committee in its sole discretion may make available one or
more of the following alternatives for the payment of such taxes: 
 (a) in cash; 

(b) by directing the Company to withhold the number of Common Shares otherwise issuable in connection with the Award that have an aggregate Fair Market Value
equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld; or 
 (c) by delivering previously acquired Common Shares of the Company that are acceptable to
the Committee that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. 
 The Committee shall have the sole discretion to
establish the terms and conditions applicable to any alternative made available for payment of the required withholding taxes. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither the Committee nor the Company makes any representation to any Participant or beneficiary of a Participant as to the tax consequences of any Awards made pursuant to the Plan, and the Committee and the Company shall have no
liability or other obligation to indemnity or hold harmless any Participant or any beneficiary of a Participant for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that any Participant or any beneficiary of a Participant may incur as a result of the
grant, vesting, or payment of an Award under the Plan. 
 If Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code are applicable, then in the event that any acceleration of
vesting pursuant to an Award and any other payment or benefit received or to be received by a Participant would subject the Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due to the characterization of such acceleration of
vesting, payment or benefit as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the Participant may elect, in his or her sole discretion, to reduce the amount of any acceleration of vesting called for under the Award in
order to avoid such characterization. 
 To aid the Participant in making any election called for under the preceding paragraph, no later than the date of
the occurrence of any event that might reasonably be anticipated to result in an “excess parachute payment” to the 

 
Participant as described in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall request a determination in writing by independent public accountants selected by the Company (the “Accountants”).
As soon as practicable thereafter, the Accountants shall determine and report to the Company and the Participant the amount of such acceleration of vesting, payments and benefits which would produce the greatest
after-tax benefit to the Participant. For the purpose of such determination, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.
The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make their required determination. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses the Accountants may
reasonably charge in connection with their services contemplated by this Subsection 32 (b). 
 SECTION 15. NONTRANSFERABILITY 

Awards granted under the Plan, and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto, may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner, or be
subject to execution, attachment or similar process, by operation of law or otherwise, other than; 
 (a) by last will and testament or by the laws of
descent and distribution; 
 (b) pursuant to the terms of a qualified domestic relations order to which the Participant is a party that meets the
requirements of any relevant provisions of the Code; or 
 (c) as permitted by the Committee with respect to a NSO transferable by the Participant during
his or her lifetime for no consideration to (i) the Participant’s spouse or lineal descendant, (ii) the trustee of a trust established for the primary benefit of the Participant’s spouse or lineal descendant, (iii) a
partnership or other entity of which the Participant’s spouse and lineal descendants are the only partners or equity owners, or (iv) a tax-exempt organization as described in Code
Section 501(c)(3). 
 In each case, the transfer shall be for no value, and the other terms and conditions applicable to the transfer of the Award
shall be established by the Committee. 
 SECTION 16. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENTS 

16.1 Termination or Amendment of Plan. Except as described in Section 16.3 below, the Board may terminate, suspend, or amend the
Plan, in whole or in part, from time to time, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, unless such approval is required by applicable law, regulation or rule of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed. No amendment
or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect the right of any Participant under any outstanding Award in any material way without the written consent of the Participant, unless such amendment or termination is required by applicable law,
regulation or rule of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed. Subject to the foregoing, the Board may correct any defect or supply an omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award granted hereunder in the
manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable, in its sole discretion, to effectuate the Plan. 
 16.2 Amendment of Award
Agreements. The Committee shall have the authority to amend any Award Agreement at any time; provided however, that no such amendment shall adversely affect the right of any Participant under any outstanding Award Agreement in any material
way without the written consent of the Participant, unless such amendment is required by applicable law, regulation or rule. 
 16.3 No
Repricing of Stock Options or SARs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to the Plan or any outstanding Stock Option Agreement or SAR Agreement that results in the repricing of Stock Options or SARs shall not be effective without
prior approval of the shareholders of the Company, except with respect to adjustments in accordance with Section 5.2 and 5.3. For this purpose, repricing includes a reduction in the exercise price of a Stock Option or SAR or the cancellation of
a Stock Option or SAR in exchange for cash. Stock Options or SARs with an exercise price less than the exercise price of the cancelled Stock Options or SARs, other Awards or any other consideration provided by the Company. 

 SECTION 17. NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT 

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any Award under the Plan shall be deemed to obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to continue the employment
or service of any Participant for any particular period. 
 SECTION 18. APPLICABLE LAW 

All questions pertaining to the validity, construction and administration of the Plan and all Awards granted under the Plan shall be determined in conformity

SECTION 19. TERM OF PLAN 
 19.1 Term of
Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Awards shall be granted on or after the ten (10) year anniversary of the Plan’s Effective Date; however, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date.

 SECTION 20. MISCELLANEOUS 
 20.1
Unfunded Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payment as to which a Participant (or a Participant’s beneficiary) has a fixed and
vested interest but which is not yet made to a Participant (or a Participant’s beneficiary) by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant (or such Participant’s beneficiary) any right that is greater than those
of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 
 20.2 No Uniformity; No Future Rights. No Employee, Participant or other person shall
have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity or treatment of Employees, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same
with respect to each recipient. Any Award granted under the Plan shall be a one-time Award, and shall not constitute a promise of future grants. The Committee, in its sole discretion, maintains the right to
make available future Awards hereunder. 
 20.3 No Trust. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust
or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company, the Board, the Committee and a Participant or any other person. 

 20.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued or delivered
pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash or other securities shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Common Shares, or whether such fractional Common Shares or any rights thereto shall be
canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. 
 20.5 Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision in the Plan or Award Agreement, for purposes of an Award that is subject to Section 409A, if a Participant’s termination of employment or service triggers the payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such
Award, then the Participant will not be deemed to have terminated employment or service until the Participant incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.
