 Article 4. DEFERRALS AND CREDITS 

4.1. Elective Deferrals. 
 (a) Election to Defer. 
 (1) General. An Elective Deferral Eligible
Employee may elect to defer a designated portion of his or her Compensation to be earned during a Plan Year by filing an election with the Administrator before the first day of the Plan Year in which the Compensation is to be earned. This election
will become effective as of the first day of the Plan Year to which it applies. The Administrator has the sole discretion (subject to compliance with the requirements of Code section 409A and the regulations and guidance thereunder) to determine
which specific types of Compensation each Participant may defer under the Plan and to set election deadlines, rules for irrevocability of elections, and effective dates for such elections. 

(2) First Year of Eligibility. An individual who first becomes an Elective Deferral Eligible Employee on or after the first day
of any Plan Year may elect to defer a designated portion of his or her Compensation to be earned during the Plan Year by filing an election with the Administrator within thirty (30) days after becoming an Elective Deferral Eligible Employee.
This election will be effective as of the thirtieth day after the individual becomes an Elective Deferral Eligible Employee and will apply only to the extent the Compensation is earned after the initial thirty (30) days of eligibility. Where a
Participant ceases to be an Elective Deferral Eligible Employee and again becomes an Elective Deferral Eligible Employee, that Participant will be treated as newly eligible and may make the election described in the first sentence of this paragraph
(2) if either of the following applies: (i) the Participant was not an Elective Deferral Eligible Employee for at least twenty-four (24) consecutive months; or (ii) the Participant has been paid all amounts deferred under the
Plan and, as of the date of the last payment, was not an Elective Deferral Eligible Employee. 
 (3) Performance-Based
Bonuses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its discretion, may permit a separate election to defer a Performance-Based Bonus, and such election may be made no later than six (6) months prior to the end of the applicable
performance period; provided, however, that such election must be made before the date that the Performance-Based Bonus is readily ascertainable. 
 (b) Nature of Election. 
 (1) General. Each election under this
Section 4.1 for a Plan Year or the balance of a Plan Year must be made on a form (whether written, electronic, or otherwise) prescribed or approved by the Administrator and must be completed and filed with the Administrator. The election form
will specify the whole percentage or flat dollar amount of each type of Compensation that is to be deferred for the applicable Plan Year; provided, however, that 

  
 5 

 
the Administrator may require that a single percentage apply to certain types of Compensation. The election will generally be effective as of the first day of the Plan Year to which it applies.
Elections for initial years of eligibility under Section 4.1(a)(2) are effective as of the thirtieth
(30th) day after initial eligibility. Elections for
Performance-Based Bonuses will be effective no later than six (6) months prior to the end of the applicable performance period. 
 (2) Time and Form of Distribution. Each Participant must indicate on the election form when the amount to be deferred for the applicable Plan Year is to be paid or, in the case of installments, is
to commence being paid (e.g., upon Retirement, upon a fixed distribution date under Section 6.2, or upon a Change of Control) and the method of payment (e.g., in a single lump sum payment, in a number of annual installments, or in any other
method approved by the Administrator). 
 (3) Irrevocability. Except as provided in Section 4.1(c), an election
under Section 4.1(a) will become irrevocable for the applicable Plan Year as of a date set by the Administrator that is no later than the close of business on the date immediately before the date the election becomes effective under
(1) above. 
 (c) Election to Change Time of Distribution. Any Participant who has made an irrevocable election to
defer Compensation under Section 4.1(a) may make an additional election to change the time of distribution and, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, may also make an additional election to change the form of distribution. Any election
to change the time or form of distribution cannot take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date of the election and must defer payment not less than five (5) years from the date payment would otherwise be made. If a
Participant changes his or her election with respect to amounts that would be paid in installments, the additional election must apply to all installments associated with the Plan Year (i.e., each installment must be delayed for at least five
(5) years from its originally scheduled commencement date). Where a Participant initially elects a fixed distribution date under Section 6.2, an election to change the timing of the payment must be made no less than twelve (12) months
before the originally scheduled fixed distribution date. 
 4.2. Company Credits. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of the Plan, the Company is not obligated to credit a Company Credit to the Company Credit Subaccount of a Company Credit Eligible Employee. However, the Company may make a Company Credit to the Company Credit Subaccount of a Company
Credit Eligible Employee in an amount the Company determines in its sole discretion. 
 Article 5. ACCOUNTS; INTEREST 

5.1. Accounts. The Administrator will establish an Account for each Participant consisting of an Elective Deferral
Subaccount and Company Credit Subaccount, reflecting Elective Deferrals and Company Credits, respectively, and any adjustments. Elective Deferrals will be credited to each Participant’s Elective Deferral Subaccount as soon as administratively

  
 6 

 
practicable after the Compensation would otherwise have been paid to the Participant. A Participant’s Elective Deferrals may be taken from the Participant’s Compensation
and credited to the Participant’s Elective Deferral Subaccount ratably during the applicable Plan Year or in any other manner determined by the Company; provided that such Elective Deferrals during the Plan Year, in the
aggregate, reflect the Participant’s Elective Deferrals in accordance with Code section 409A. Company Credits will be credited to each Participant’s Company Credit Subaccount at a time the Company determines in its sole
discretion. The Administrator will provide each Participant with a statement of his or her Account as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Plan Year. 
 5.2. Earnings Measurement. The Administrator will identify one or more funds (such as mutual funds or bank collective funds) from time to time for the purpose of measuring earnings credits
to Participants’ Accounts. Each Participant may specify—in a form and manner and with notice as the Administrator may prescribe—which fund or funds he or she wishes to be used to measure earnings for designated percentages of his or
her Account. A deferral of RSUs will be treated as invested in Company Stock. The Participant’s directions may be given on a prospective basis only, and the Participant may change those directions with the frequency, and subject to such
procedures or restrictions, as the Administrator may prescribe from time to time. Each Participant’s Account will be adjusted from time to time (at least quarterly) to reflect the fair market value that would be ascribed to the Account if the
amounts credited to the Account were actually invested in the funds as directed by the Participant. Any earnings credits on Company Credits will begin to accrue as of the date the Company designates. 

5.3. Payments. Each Participant’s Account will be reduced by the amount of any payment made to or on behalf of the
Participant under Article 6 as of the date the payment is made. 
 5.4. Vesting. A Participant will at all times
be 100% vested in amounts credited to his or her Elective Deferral Subaccount. A Participant will earn a vested interest in amounts credited to his or her Company Credit Subaccount according to any vesting schedule that the Company adopts in its
sole discretion. However, if a Participant becomes Disabled or a Change of Control occurs, the Participant will become 100% vested in his or her Company Credit Subaccount. 
 5.5. Detrimental Activity. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other
provisions of the Plan, if a Participant engages in “Detrimental Activity” (as defined below) at any time, the Administrator may in its sole discretion cancel or rescind at any time all amounts, if any, credited to the Participant’s
Company Credit subaccount, whether or not fully vested. Furthermore, if a Participant engages in Detrimental Activity at any time during the twelve (12) months after the termination of his or her employment with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for any reason or termination of service as a member of the Board for any reason, as the case may be, the Company may require 

  
 7 

 
the Participant at any time until the later of (A) two (2) years after the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason or termination of service as a member of the Board
for any reason, as the case may be, or (B) two (2) years after the Participant engaged in Detrimental Activity to pay to the Company (1) an amount equal to any distributions previously made by the Company to the Participant from his
or her Company Credit Account and (2) if the Company commences an action against the Participant (by way of a claim or counterclaim and including declaratory claims) in which it is preliminarily or finally determined that the Participant
engaged in Detrimental Activity or otherwise violated this Section 5.5, an amount equal to the Company’s costs and fees incurred in the action, including but not limited to, the Company’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Company
will be entitled to set off any amounts the Participant owes to the Company against any amounts the Company owes the Participant, including without limitation, any amounts to be distributed from the Participant’s Elective Deferral Subaccount.
This offset may be applied only at the time amounts are distributable in accordance with the Plan’s terms, except that offset for any debt incurred in the ordinary course of the relationship between the Company or Subsidiary and the Participant
may occur on an accelerated basis as to a maximum of $5,000 in any year. 
 (b) “Detrimental Activity” means,
in the Company’s sole determination, that the Participant has, directly or indirectly, (a) become associated in any capacity with any enterprise that is, or may be deemed to be, in competition with any business of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, (b) solicited, induced or attempted to induce, in any enterprise that is competitive with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any customers or employees of the Company to curtail or discontinue their relationship with the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) disclosed, communicated or misused, to the detriment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any confidential or proprietary information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any person
or entity not associated with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (d) failed to comply with the terms of the Plan, (e) failed to comply with any term of the Company’s Key Employee Agreement (irrespective of whether the Participant
is a party to the Key Employee Agreement), (f) engaged in any activity that results in termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan), (g) violated any
rule, policy, procedure or guideline of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (h) been convicted of, or has entered a guilty plea with respect to, a crime whether or not connected with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 5.5 does not in any way amend, modify or affect any other
plan, agreement, instrument or understanding, including without limitation, any of the Company’s equity plans, or any of the rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereunder with respect to any Detrimental Activity or similar
activity committed by a Participant. The Company expressly reserves all of its rights under any such other plan, agreement, instrument or understanding, and this Section 5.5 does not constitute a waiver of any such rights.

 Article 6. PAYMENTS 
 6.1. Payment Upon Separation from Service. Subject to Sections 6.3 and 6.4 (concerning death and Disability), a Participant who has a Separation from Service will receive his or her vested
Account balance in the manner described in (a) below unless he or she elects, in accordance with Section 4.1, a distribution method described in (b). A Participant may have different distribution forms for the Elective Deferral Subaccount
and the Company Credit Subaccount. Distributions will generally be made in cash, except that Compensation payable in Company Stock may be paid in Company Stock. 
 (a) Default Distribution Method. Except as provided in (b) below, a Participant’s vested Account balance will be payable in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days following the
Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 (b) Distribution Methods Available for Participants’ (Other than
Directors) on Retirement. Participants, other than a Participant who is a member of the Board, whose Separation from Service results from Retirement may elect to receive their vested Account balances under this subsection (b). 

(1) Installments. A Participant may elect, in accordance with Section 4.1, to receive the vested balance of his or her
Account in five (5), ten (10), or fifteen (15) annual installments, commencing in January of the year elected and continuing in each succeeding January until fully paid. If a Participant fails to elect a commencement date, payments will
commence in January of the year following the Participant’s Separation from Service. The amount of each installment payment is determined by dividing the Participant’s applicable Account balance (adjusted through the day before the
installment is paid) by the number of installments remaining. 
 (2) Other Methods. The Administrator, in its sole
discretion, shall have discretion to provide that a Participant may elect under Section 4.1 to receive the balance of his or her Account at times or forms other than those specified in this section 6.1. 

6.2. In–Service Distribution—Payment on a Fixed Date or Schedule. This Section 6.2 applies only to a
Participant’s Elective Deferral Subaccount. Company Credit Subaccounts are subject to the other sections of this Article 6. 
 (a) General. A Participant may elect, in accordance with Section 4.1, a year as the fixed distribution date or for the commencement of payment. Amounts subject to this election are payable in
a single lump sum in January of the year elected or in five (5), ten (10) or fifteen (15) annual installments commencing in January of the year elected. The fixed distribution date cannot be earlier than the day after the third anniversary
of the last day of the Plan Year in which the Compensation was deferred. For distributions payable in annual installments, the first installment will be paid in January of the year elected, and succeeding installments will be paid in January of the
years following the year elected. The amount of each 

  
 9 

 
installment is determined by dividing the Participant’s applicable Account balance (adjusted through the day before the installment is paid) by the number of installments remaining. Any lump
sum or installment distributions will generally be paid in cash, except that Compensation payable in Company Stock may be paid in Company Stock. 
 (b) Payment Events Occurring Before Scheduled Commencement Date. If a Participant’s Separation from Service or Disability occurs before the fixed distribution date, no payments will be made
under this Section 6.2. The balance of the Participant’s Elective Deferral Subaccount will be paid in accordance with the other sections of this Article 6. 
 (c) Payment Events Occurring After Installments Commence. 
 (1) If a
Participant’s Separation from Service occurs by reason of Retirement after the fixed distribution date has occurred and the Participant had elected to receive distributions under this Section 6.2 in installments, then payments will
continue be made in accordance with that election. 
 (2) If a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs for any reason
other than Retirement after the fixed distribution date has occurred, and the Participant had elected to receive distributions under this Section 6.2 in installments, the remaining portion of the distribution will be made in a single lump sum
payment to the Participant within ninety (90) days after the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 6.3.
Payment Upon Death. If a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs because of his or her death, both the Elective Deferral Subaccount and the Company Credit Subaccount will be paid to the Participant’s beneficiary or estate
in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s death. Payments will generally be made in cash, except that Compensation payable in Company Stock may be paid in Company Stock. A Participant may designate a
beneficiary or beneficiaries who will be entitled to receive the balance of the Participant’s Account upon his or her death. This designation must be made on a form (whether written, electronic, or otherwise) prescribed or approved by the
Administrator and may be revoked on a form (whether written, electronic, or otherwise) prescribed or approved by the Administrator at any time before the Participant dies. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary or no designated
beneficiary survives the Participant, then payments under this Section will be made to the Participant’s estate. 
 6.4.
Payment Upon Disability. Upon the determination of a Participant’s Disability, both the Elective Deferral Subaccount and the Company Credit Subaccount will be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days
following the Participant’s Disability. Payments will generally be made in cash, except that Compensation payable in Company Stock may be paid in Company Stock. 
 6.5. Payment Upon a Change of Control. A Participant may elect, in accordance with Section 4.1, to receive the balance of his or her Account in a single lump sum thirty (30) days
following the Change of Control. Payments will generally be made in cash, except that Compensation payable in Company Stock may be paid in Company Stock. 

  
 10 

 6.6. Payment or Cessation of Deferrals Upon Unforeseeable Emergency. 

(a) General. A Participant is not generally entitled to a distribution of any portion of his or her Account before payments are
otherwise due in accordance with the Plan and any timely election made under the Plan. However, if a Participant has an unforeseeable emergency that results in a severe financial hardship, the Administrator may authorize, on a nondiscriminatory
basis, a cessation of deferrals under this Plan and/or a distribution from the Participant’s Elective Deferral Subaccount in the minimum amount required to meet the need created by the unforeseeable emergency (including any taxes or penalties
due as a result of the distribution). The distribution will be paid within seven (7) days after the Administrator determines that the unforeseeable emergency exists under (b) below. 

(b) Unforeseeable Emergency. An “unforeseeable emergency” is a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting:
(1) from an illness or accident of the Participant or of the Participant’s spouse, beneficiary, or dependent (as defined in Code section 152, without regard to section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)); (2) from the loss of the
Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to the home not otherwise covered by insurance); or (3) from other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of
events beyond the Participant’s control (e.g., the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence, the need to pay for medical expenses and prescription drugs or funeral expenses of a spouse, beneficiary or
dependent). 
 The Participant must supply written evidence of the financial hardship and must declare, under penalties of
perjury, that the Participant has no other resources available to meet the emergency. The Participant must also declare that the need cannot be met by any of the following: (1) reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;
(2) reasonable liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent the liquidation will not itself cause severe financial hardship; or (3) ceasing the Participant’s deferrals under this Plan. 

(c) Hardship Distribution Under 401(k) Plan. In the event a Participant receives a hardship distribution pursuant to the
regulations under section 401(k) of the Code, from the Company’s 401(k) Plan, deferrals under this Plan shall cease for a period of six months. 
 6.7. Payments to a Participant Who is or was an Eligible Director and an Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 6 to the contrary, if payments are to be made from a
Participant’s Account and the Participant is or was both an Eligible Director and an Eligible Employee, then the payments will be treated separately. Any payments attributable to the portion of the balance of the Participant’s Account that
is attributable to Compensation earned by the Participant as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6 applicable to Participants who are not Eligible Directors. The
portion of the balance of the Participant’s Account attributable to Compensation earned by the Participant for his or her service as an Eligible Director will be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6 applicable to
Participants who are Eligible Directors. 

  
 11 

 6.8. Payments to Specified Employees. Amounts payable under this Article 6
upon a Specified Employee’s Separation from Service, other than death, will be paid six (6) months after Separation from Service. If the Participant elected to receive installments upon Separation from Service, this Section will affect
only the first payment if that payment is scheduled to occur earlier than six (6) months after Separation from Service; all other installment payments will be paid as scheduled. 
 Article 7. ADMINISTRATOR 
 7.1 Plan Administration and
Interpretation. The Administrator shall oversee the administration of the Plan. The Administrator shall have complete discretionary control and authority to administer all aspects of the Plan and to determine the rights and benefits and all
claims, demands and actions arising out of the provisions of the Plan of any Participant, beneficiary, deceased Participant, or any other person having or claiming to have any interest under the Plan. The Administrator shall have the exclusive
discretionary power to interpret the Plan and to decide all matters under the Plan. The Administrator also shall have the exclusive discretionary power to adopt, amend and rescind rules and guidelines for the administration of the Plan and for its
own acts and proceedings. Such interpretation and decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming under or through any Participant, in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that the Administrator
acted arbitrarily and capriciously. Any individual serving as Administrator, or on a committee acting as Administrator, who is a Participant, shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When making a determination or
calculation, the Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information furnished by a Participant, a beneficiary, or any other person or entity. The Administrator shall be deemed to be the Plan administrator with responsibility for
complying with any reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA. 
 The Administrator may employ such counsel, agents and
advisers, and obtain such administrative, clerical and other services, as it may deem necessary or appropriate in carrying out the provisions of the Plan and its duties hereunder. 

7.2. Claims Procedure. 
 (a) In general. If any person believes he or she has been denied any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly
or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be given within ninety (90) days after the claim is received by the Administrator (or within one hundred eighty (180) days,
if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial ninety (90) day period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
notification is not given within such ninety (90) or one hundred eighty (180) day period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his or her claim in accordance with
Section 7.2(b). 

  
 12 

 (b) Appeals. Within sixty (60) days after the date on which a person receives a
written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within sixty (60) days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred) such person (or his or her duly authorized representative) may file a written request with the
Administrator for a review of his or her denied claim. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision on review in writing. The decision on review will be made within sixty (60) days after the request for review is received by the
Administrator (or within one hundred twenty (120) days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and
circumstances is given to such person within the initial sixty (60) day period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the decision on review is not made within such sixty (60) or one hundred twenty (120) day period, the claim will be
considered denied. 
 The Administrator may, in its sole discretion amend or revise this Section 7.2, provided, that the
claims procedure for the Plan pursuant to which persons may claim an interest in the Plan and appeal denials of such claims, as amended or changed, shall meet the minimum standards of Section 503 of ERISA. 

7.3. Claims and Review Procedure for Disability Claims. 

(a) In general. If any person believes he or she has been denied any rights or benefits due on Disability under the Plan, such
person may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be given within forty-five (45) days after
the claim is received by the Administrator. This time period may be extended twice by thirty (30) days if the Administrator both determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan and notifies such
person of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a decision. If such an extension is necessary due to such person’s failure to submit the information necessary to decide the
claim, the notice of extension will specifically describe the required information and such person will be afforded at least forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information. If such person delivers the requested
information within the time specified, any thirty (30) day extension period will begin after such person has provided that information. If such person fails to deliver the requested information within the time specified, the Administrator may
decide such person’s claim without that information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such notification is not given within such forty-five (45) or an extended period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period
and such person may request a review of his or her claim in accordance with Section 7.3(b). 

  
 13 

 (b) Appeals. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which a
person receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred) such person (or his or her duly authorized representative) may file
a written request with the Administrator for a review of his or her denied claim. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision on review in writing. The decision on review will be made within forty-five (45) days after the request
for review is received by the Administrator (or within ninety (90) days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such
extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial forty-five (45) day period). If an extension is necessary due to such person’s failure to submit the information necessary to decide the appeal, the notice of extension
will specifically describe the required information and such person will be afforded at least forty-five (45) days to provide the specified information. If such person delivers the requested information within the time specified, the forty-five
(45) day extension of the appeal period will begin after such person has provided that information. If such person fails to deliver the requested information within the time specified, the Administrator may decide such person’s appeal
without that information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the decision on review is not made within such forty-five (45) or ninety (90) day period, the claim will be considered denied. 

The Administrator may, in its sole discretion amend or revise this Section 7.3, provided, that the claims procedure for the Plan
pursuant to which persons may claim an interest in the Plan and appeal denials of such claims, as amended or changed, shall meet the minimum standards of Section 503 of ERISA. 

7.4. Indemnification of Administrator. The Company shall indemnify and defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any
director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who serves as the Administrator or as a member of a committee appointed to serve as Administrator, or who assists the Administrator in carrying out its duties (including any such
individual who formerly served in any such capacity) against any and all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved in writing by the Company) arising out of or
relating to any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, if such act or omission is in good faith. 
 Article 8. AMENDMENT,
TERMINATION AND ASSIGNMENT 
 8.1. Amendments. Prior to a Change of Control, the Company shall have the right
to amend the Plan from time to time, subject to Section 8.3, by an instrument in writing which has been executed on its behalf by the Administrator or by vote of the Board. No amendment to the Plan with respect to any Participant may be made
after a Change of Control without the written consent of such Participant (or beneficiary, if applicable). 
 8.2.
Termination of Plan. The Company currently intends to continue the Plan indefinitely. However, the Plan is voluntary on the part of the Company and the Company expressly reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to
Section 8.3, for any 

  
 14 

 
reason whatsoever. Subject to Section 8.1, the Company from time to time may, by amendment to the Plan, suspend the Plan or discontinue provisions thereof. The Company may terminate the Plan
at any time by an instrument in writing which has been executed on its behalf by the Administrator or by vote of the Board. No distributions will be made solely because the Company terminates the Plan. Payments will continue to be made after the
Plan’s termination in accordance with Article 6. 
 8.3 Existing Rights. No amendment or termination of the
Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to amounts credited to his or her Account as of the date of such amendment or termination (subject to future adjustments as a result of investment measurements). 

8.4. Assignment. The rights and obligations of the Company shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon its
successors and assigns. 
 Article 9. MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1. Grantor Trust. The Company may establish a trust of which the Company is treated as the owner under Subpart E of Subchapter J, Chapter 1 of the Code (a “grantor
trust”), and may deposit with the trustee of the grantor trust an amount of cash or marketable securities sufficient to cause the fair market value of the assets held in the grantor trust to be not less than the sum of the Account balances
under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Plan will be construed to create a trust or to obligate the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other person or entity to segregate a fund, purchase an insurance contract, or in any
other way currently to fund the future payment of any distributions or payments hereunder, nor will anything herein be construed to give any employee or any other person any right to any specific assets of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or of
any other person or entity. Any distributions or payments which become payable hereunder that are not paid out of the grantor trust shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. 

9.2. Nature of Claim for Payment. Each Participant and beneficiary will be an unsecured general creditor of the Company
with respect to any distributions or payments to be made under the Plan. Nothing in the Plan will be construed to give any person any right to any specific assets of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other person or entity. 

9.3. Non-alienation of Benefits. No Participant, beneficiary or any other person having any interest under the Plan shall
alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise transfer (“Alienate”) any right or interest under the Plan, including, without limitation, with respect to rights to or interests in any payments, distributions, claims
or other benefits which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under this Plan (“Rights”). Any attempt to Alienate any Right shall be ineffective. No Right shall be subject to any claim of, subject to attachment,
execution, garnishment or other legal process by, any creditor of such Participant, beneficiary or other person, except pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order that meets the requirements of Code section 414(p) and Section 206(d)(3) of
ERISA. 

  
 15 

 9.4. No Employment or Service Continuation Rights. Neither the adoption nor
the establishment and maintenance of the Plan, the participation in the Plan nor any action of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Administrator, shall be held or construed to confer upon any employee or director of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries any right to continued employment or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, nor does it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the services of any of
its employees or directors at any time. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries expressly reserves the right to terminate or discharge any of its employees or directors at any time. 

9.5. Receipt and Release. Any payment or distribution to any Participant or beneficiary in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan shall be, to the extent thereof, in full satisfaction of all claims against the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Administrator under the Plan, and the Administrator may require such Participant or beneficiary, as a condition precedent
to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. If any Participant or beneficiary is determined by the Administrator to be incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability (including minority) to give a valid receipt and
release, the Administrator may cause the payment or payments becoming due to such person to be made to another person for his or her benefit without responsibility on the part of the Administrator or the Company to follow the application of such
funds. 
 9.6. Severability of Provision. If any provision of the Plan shall be held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced to the fullest extent possible as if such provision had not been included.

 9.7. Government Regulations. It is intended that the Plan comply with all applicable laws and government
regulations, including Code section 409A, and the Plan shall be construed and administered, where possible, to comply with such laws and regulations. Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator shall not be obligated to
perform any obligation hereunder in any case where, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such performance would result in the violation of any law or regulation or failure to comply with Code section 409A. Should it be determined that any
provision or feature of the Plan is not in compliance with Code section 409A, that provision or feature shall be null and void to the extent required to avoid the noncompliance with Code section 409A. 

9.8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects under and by the
laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof. The Company, the Administrator, the Participants and their beneficiaries, and any persons having or claiming to have any interest

  
 16 

 
under the Plan submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to
the Plan or the same subject matter. 
 9.9. Headings and Subheadings. Headings and subheadings in this Plan are
inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof. 
 9.10. Expenses
and Taxes. Expenses, including fees and expenses associated with the grantor trust, associated with the administration or operation of the Plan shall be paid by the Company from its general assets unless, in the sole discretion of the
Administrator, the Administrator elects to charge such expenses against the appropriate Participant’s Account or Participants’ Accounts. Any taxes allocable to an Account (or subaccount or portion thereof) maintained under the Plan which
are payable prior to the distribution of the Account (or subaccount or portion thereof), as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, shall be charged against the appropriate Participant’s Account or Participants’ Accounts.

  
 17Form of Change in Control Severance Agreement for Executive Officers

 Exhibit 10.8 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT, dated [DATE], is
made by and between EMC Corporation (the “Company”), and [NAME] (the “Executive”) residing at [ADDRESS]. 
 WHEREAS, the Company considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; and

 WHEREAS, the Executive has made and is expected to make, due to the Executive’s intimate knowledge of the business and
affairs of the Company, its policies, methods, personnel and problems, a significant contribution to the profitability, growth and financial strength of the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company, as a publicly held corporation, recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control may exist, and that such possibility and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among
management may result in the departure or distraction of the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s duties, to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and 

WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and
dedication of management personnel, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction and to ensure the continued availability to the Company of the Executive in the event of a Change in Control. 

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, the parties
hereto agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Defined Terms. The definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in Section 16. 

 

	2.	 Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on December 31, 2011 and shall continue in effect
through January 1, 2013; provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 2013 and each January 1st thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not later than April 1 of the
preceding year, the Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the Term; and further provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term, the Term shall expire on the last day
of the twenty-fourth (24th) month following the month
in which such Change in Control occurred. 

  

	3.	 Company’s Covenants Summarized. In order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the
Executive’s covenants in Section 4, the Company, under the conditions described herein, shall pay the Executive the Severance Payments and the other payments and benefits described herein. No Severance Payments shall be payable under this
Agreement unless there shall have been (or, pursuant to the second sentence of Section 6.1, there shall be deemed to have been) a 

	 	
termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company following a Change in Control and during the Term. This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express or implied contract
of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company. 

 

	4.	The Executive’s Covenants. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event of a Potential Change in Control, the Executive shall remain
in the employ of the Company until the earliest of (i) the date which is six (6) months from the date of the first occurrence of a Potential Change in Control, (ii) the date of a Change in Control, (iii) the date of termination
by the Executive of the Executive’s employment for Good Reason or by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, or (iv) the termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment for any reason. 

 

	5.	Compensation Other Than Severance Payments; Equity Awards. 

 5.1 If the Executive fails to perform the Executive’s full-time duties with the Company following a Change in Control as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, during any period
when the Executive so fails to perform the Company shall pay the Base Salary to the Executive, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement (other
than the Company’s short- or long-term disability plan, as applicable, but including any bonus or incentive plan) maintained by the Company during such period, until the Executive resumes the full time performance of such duties or the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Disability. 
 5.2 If the Executive’s employment shall be
terminated for any reason following a Change in Control, the Company shall pay the Base Salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination
under the terms of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence
of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason. 
 5.3 Except as expressly provided herein, if the Executive’s
employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive’s normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due. Such post-termination
compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company’s retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination
or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason. 
 5.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any equity plan or arrangement of the Company or any agreement between the Company and the Executive (but subject to the provisions of
Section 14.3(D)), upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, any outstanding stock option, restricted stock or other equity or equity-based award granted to the 

  
 2 

 
Executive shall become immediately vested and exercisable if the Executive becomes entitled to the Severance Payments described in Section 6.1. From and after the occurrence of a Change in
Control, the “detrimental activity” provisions in the Company’s equity plans shall no longer apply to any award issued to the Executive under such plans. 
  

	6.	Severance Payments. 

 6.1
If the Executive’s employment is terminated within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, other than (a) by the Company for Cause, (b) by reason of death or Disability, or (c) by the Executive without Good
Reason, then the Company shall, subject to Section 15 hereof, pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 (“Severance Payments”) and Section 6.2, in addition to any
payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have been terminated within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control
and during the Term by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause during a Potential Change in Control Period, or (ii) the Executive
terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason during a Potential Change in Control Period. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated in the manner described in the preceding sentence during a Potential Change in
Control Period, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such termination for purposes of Section 5.4 hereof, except with respect to equity awards held by the Executive which are intended to constitute
qualified performance based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights). Except as described above, the Executive shall not be entitled
to benefits pursuant to this Section 6.1 unless a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term. 

(A) The Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to 2.99 times the sum of
(a) the Base Salary, and (b) the sum of the target annual bonus available to the Executive pursuant to each of the Company’s annual bonus plans or any successor plans (but excluding any special performance or incentive plan) in which
the Executive participates in respect of the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs (without giving effect to any event or circumstance constituting Good Reason), assuming for this purpose attainment of 100% of any applicable target;
provided, however, that if the applicable target bonus would have been pro-rated for a partial fiscal year, such target bonus shall be recalculated for purposes of this Section 6.1(A) to equal the amount that for which the
Executive would have been eligible for the entire fiscal year. 
 (B) For the thirty-six (36) month period
immediately following the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and the Executive’s dependents life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to the Executive
and the Executive’s dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and the Executive’s dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or
circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater after-tax cost to the Executive than the cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or 

  
 3 

 
occurrence. If, at the end of the thirty-six (36) month period following the Date of Termination, the Executive has not previously become eligible to receive comparable benefits from a new
employer or pursuant to a government-sponsored health insurance or health care program, then the Company shall arrange, at its sole cost and expense, to enable the Executive to convert coverage for the Executive and the Executive’s dependents
being provided hereunder to individual policies or programs, if applicable, upon the same terms as other former employees of the Company may apply for such conversion. The cost of providing the benefits set forth in this Section 6.1(B) shall be
in addition to (and shall not reduce) the Severance Payments. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6.1(B) shall be reduced to the extent the Executive becomes eligible to receive comparable benefits from a new
employer or pursuant to a government-sponsored health insurance or health care program. Unless the Executive agrees to another method, the coverage described in this Section 6.1(B) will be provided through a third party insurer. 

(C) The Company shall pay to the Executive a prorated portion of the Executive’s bonus compensation for the fiscal
year in which the Date of Termination occurs (assuming that any applicable performance objectives were achieved at the target level of performance and without giving effect to any event or circumstance constituting Good Reason) calculated by
multiplying (i) the target amount of such bonus compensation by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the applicable fiscal year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365. The foregoing
payment shall be reduced by the sum of any quarterly, semi-annual and other partial year bonus payments previously paid to the Executive in respect of the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs. 

6.2 (A) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be
received by the Executive (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of the Executive’s employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or
agreement) (all such payments and benefits, including the Severance Payments, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or part) to the Excise Tax, then the Total Payments shall be reduced to the
extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such
reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such
reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into
account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). If a reduction in the Total Payments is required under this Section 6.2(A), the Total Payments shall be reduced by the Company
in its reasonable discretion in the following order: (A) reduction of any cash payment (excluding any cash payment with respect to the acceleration of equity awards) that is otherwise payable to the Executive

  
 4 

 
that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code; (B) reduction of any other payments or benefits otherwise payable to the Executive (other than those described in clause (C) below) on
a pro-rata basis or such other manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code; and (C) reduction of any payment or benefit with respect to the acceleration of equity awards that is otherwise payable to the Executive (on a pro-rata
basis as between equity awards that are covered by Section 409A of the Code and those that are not (or such other manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code)). 

(B) For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax,
(i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be
taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the accounting firm (the
“Auditor”) which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Company’s independent auditor, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of
Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered,
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the Base Amount allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments
shall be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. 
 (C) At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis
for such calculations including, without limitation, any opinions or other advice the Company has received from Tax Counsel, the Auditor or other advisors or consultants (and any such opinions or advice which are in writing shall be attached to the
statement). If the Executive objects to the Company’s calculations, the Company shall pay to the Executive such portion of the Severance Payments (up to 100% thereof) as the Executive determines is necessary to result in the proper application
of subsection (A) of this Section 6.2. 
 6.3 Subject to Section 14.3(A), the payments
provided in subsection (A) and (C) of Section 6.1 shall be made on the eighth (8th) day following the Release Deadline; provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive
on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Executive is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest on the unpaid remainder (or
on all such payments to the extent the Company fails to make such payments when due) at 120% of the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Release Deadline (also subject to
Section 14.3(A)). In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to the Executive, payable on the fifth (5th) business
day after demand by the Company (together with interest at 120% of the rate 

  
 5 

 
provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code). At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the
manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations including, without limitation, any opinions or other advice the Company has received from Tax Counsel, the Auditor or other advisors or consultants (and any such
opinions or advice which are in writing shall be attached to the statement). 
 6.4 The Company shall pay to the Executive all
legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this
Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder. Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days
after delivery of the Executive’s written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require. The Executive’s reimbursement rights described in this Section 6.4
shall remain in effect for the life of the Executive, provided, that, in order for the Executive to be entitled to reimbursement hereunder, the Executive must submit the written reimbursement request described above within 180 days following
the date upon which the applicable fee or expense is incurred. 
  

	7.	Termination Procedures and Compensation During Dispute. 

 7.1 Notice of Termination. After a Change in Control, any purported termination of the Executive’s employment (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of
Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail any facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is
required to include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering such
termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of
conduct set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Cause herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 
 7.2 Date of Termination. “Date of Termination,” with respect to any purported termination of the Executive’s employment after a Change in Control, shall mean (i) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided, that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties during such
thirty (30) day period), and (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by the Company, shall not be less than
ninety (90) days (except in the case of a termination for Cause) and, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall not be less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days, respectively, from the date such Notice of
Termination is given). 

  
 6 

 7.3 Dispute Concerning Termination. If within ten (10) days after any Notice of
Termination is given, or, if later, prior to the Date of Termination (as determined without regard to this Section 7.3), the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination,
the Date of Termination shall be extended until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Term ends or (ii) the date on which the dispute is finally resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a final judgment, order
or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided, however, that the Date of
Termination shall be extended by a notice of dispute given by the Executive only if such notice is given in good faith and the Executive pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence. 

7.4 Compensation During Dispute. If the Date of Termination is extended in accordance with Section 7.3, the Company shall
continue to pay the Executive the full compensation in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, the Base Salary) and continue the Executive as a participant in all compensation, benefit and
insurance plans in which the Executive was participating when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given, until the Date of Termination, as determined in accordance with Section 7.3. Amounts paid under this Section 7.4 are in addition
to all other amounts due under this Agreement (other than those due under Section 5.2) and shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts due under this Agreement. 

 

	8.	No Mitigation. If the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates following a Change in Control, the Executive is not required to seek other
employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 or Section 7.4. Except as set forth in Section 6.1(B), the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this
Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

  

	9.	Successors; Binding Agreement. 

 9.1 In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise)
to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had
taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement. 
 9.2 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts,
unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive’s estate. 

  
 7 

	10.	Notices. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the last known residence address of the Executive or in the case of the Company, to its principal office
to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company with a copy to its clerk or Secretary, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address
shall be effective only upon receipt. 

  

	11.	Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and
signed by the Executive and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement supersedes, effective as of [DATE], any other agreements or
representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof which have been made by either party (including, without limitation, the Change in Control Severance Agreement by and between the Company and the
Executive, dated [DATE]; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not supersede any agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The
validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor
provisions to such sections. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which the Executive has agreed. The obligations of the
Company under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term (including, without limitation, those under Sections 6 and 7) shall survive such expiration.

  

	12.	Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

  

	13.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument. 

  

	14.	Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration; 409A Compliance. 

 14.1 All claims by the Executive for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of a

  
 8 

 
claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied
upon. The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after notification
by the Board that the Executive’s claim has been denied. 
 14.2 Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; provided, however, that the evidentiary standards
set forth in this Agreement shall apply. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific
performance of the Executive’s right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. 

14.3 It is the intention of the Company and the Executive that this Agreement not result in taxation of the Executive under
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and that the Agreement shall be construed in accordance with such intention. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and the Executive agree
as follows: 
 (A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Executive is a “specified
employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) with respect to the Company, any amounts (or benefits) otherwise payable to or in respect of the Executive under this Agreement pursuant to the Executive’s
termination of employment with the Company shall be delayed, to the extent required so that taxes are not imposed on the Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, and shall be paid upon the earliest date permitted by
Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code; 
 (B) For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with
the Company will not be treated as terminated unless and until such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code; 

(C) To the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued
thereunder (1) reimbursements to the Executive as a result of the operation of Section 6.1(B), or Section 6.4 hereof shall be made not later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the reimbursable expense is
incurred and shall otherwise be made in a manner that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv), (2) if Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code), any reimbursements to the Executive as a result of the operation of such sections with respect to a reimbursable event within the first six months following the Date of Termination which are required to be
delayed pursuant to Section 14.3(A) shall be made as soon as practicable following the date which is six months and one day following the Date of Termination (subject to clause (1) of this sentence); and 

  
 9 

 (D) If the provisions of Section 5.4 are applicable to an equity or
equity-based award subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the immediate payment of the award contemplated by Section 5.4 would result in taxation under Section 409A, payment of such awards shall be made upon the
earliest date upon which such payment may be made without resulting in taxation under Section 409A of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any equity or equity-based awards which are subject to Section 409A of the Code and
which comply with the permissible payment requirements of such section by providing for payments pursuant to a fixed schedule, the application of Section 5.4, as modified (to the extent required) by this Section 14.3(D), shall require that
the payment of such awards continue upon such fixed schedule following the Date of Termination until the award is fully vested. 
  

	15.	Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the payment to the Executive of the benefits provided in Section 6 upon the Executive’s
termination of employment shall be subject to the execution and non-revocation by the Executive of the Company’s standard form of release in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. Such
release must be executed by the Executive within 45 days following the Date of Termination (the “Release Deadline”).

Company. It is also expressly understood that the Executive’s attention to matters not directly related to the business of the Company shall not provide a basis for termination for Cause so long as the Board has approved the Executive’s
engagement in such activities.

forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the
securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar

assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

 Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this
Agreement by virtue of any transaction which results in the Executive, or a group of Persons which includes the Executive, acquiring, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or the
combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities. 
 16.9 “Code” shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

16.12 “Disability” shall be deemed the reason for the termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment, if, as a
result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive shall have been absent from the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties with the Company for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days, the
Company shall have given the Executive a Notice of Termination for Disability, and, within thirty (30) days after such Notice of Termination is given, the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s
duties. Any question as to the existence of the Executive’s Disability upon which the Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined by a qualified independent physician selected by the Executive (or, if the Executive is unable to
make such selection, it shall be made by any adult member of the Executive’s immediate family), and approved by the Company. The determination of such physician made in writing to the Company and to the Executive shall be final and conclusive

references to a “Potential Change in Control”), of any one of the following acts by the Company, or failures by the Company to act, unless, in the case of any act or failure to act described in subsection (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) or
(G) below, such act or failure to act is corrected prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of Termination given in respect thereof: 
 (A) an adverse change in the Executive’s role or position(s) as an officer of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, including, without limitation, any adverse change in
the Executive’s role or position as a result of a diminution of the Executive’s duties or responsibilities (other than, if applicable, any such change directly and solely attributable to the fact that the Company is no longer publicly
owned) or the assignment to the Executive of any duties or responsibilities which are inconsistent with such role or position(s), or any removal of the Executive from, or any failure to reappoint or reelect the Executive to, such position(s);

 (B) a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary; 

(C) the failure by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to continue in effect any Plan in which the Executive is
participating at the time of the Change in Control (or Plans providing the Executive with at least substantially similar benefits) other than as a result of the normal expiration of any such Plan in accordance with its terms as in effect at the time
of the Change in Control, or the taking of any action, or the failure to act, by the Company which would adversely affect the Executive’s continued participation in any of such Plans on at least as favorable a basis to the Executive as is the

to continue to allow the Executive to attend to matters or engage in activities not directly related to the business of the Company which, prior to the Change in Control, the Executive was permitted by the Board to attend to or engage in;

 (F) any purported termination of the Executive’s employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of
Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 7.1; for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective; or 

  
 13 

 (G) a breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 9.1
hereof. 
 The Executive’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the
Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. In order for Good Reason to exist hereunder, the Executive must provide notice to the Company of the existence of the condition or circumstance described above within 90 days of the
initial existence of the condition or circumstance (or, if later, within 90 days of the Executive’s becoming aware of such condition or circumstance), and the Company must have failed to cure such condition within 30 days of the receipt of such
notice. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder. 

For purposes of any determination regarding the existence of Good Reason, any good faith claim by the Executive that Good Reason exists
shall be presumed to be correct unless the Company establishes to the Board by clear and convincing evidence that Good Reason does not exist.

pension, profit sharing, medical, disability, accident, life insurance plan or a relocation or vacation plan or policy or any other plan, program or policy of the Company or its subsidiaries intended to benefit employees, but excluding following a
Change in Control (but not during a Potential Change in Control Period) any stock option, restricted stock or other stock-based plan or benefit except with respect to any awards outstanding under any such plan as of the date of the Change in
Control. 
 16.20 “Potential Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of
the following subsections shall have occurred:

which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control;

occurred. 
 16.21 “Potential Change in Control Period” shall commence upon the occurrence of a Potential Change in

agreement, (ii) with respect to a Potential Change in Control occurring pursuant to Section 16.20(B), immediately upon a public announcement by the applicable party that such party has abandoned its intention to take or consider taking
actions which if consummated would result in a Change in Control, or (iii) with respect to a Potential Change in Control occurring pursuant to Section 16.20(C) or (D), upon the one year anniversary of the occurrence of a Potential Change
