 Administration

not be identical) of all Awards so granted, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and any Agreements relating to Awards granted under the Plan and to supervise the administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have sole authority in the

Article IV 
 Shares Subject to the Plan 

4.1 Number of Shares; Award Limits. Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
Awards may be granted during the term of the Plan shall be the sum of (i) 135 million shares of Common Stock; plus (ii) (B) such additional number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares
reserved for issuance under the Prior Plan that remain available for grant under the Prior Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Date and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the Prior Plan, that
(A) expire, terminate or are annulled for any reason without having been exercised, (B) that is a stock appreciation right under the Prior Plan that is exercised for cash and (C) any award of restricted shares or restricted stock
units under the Prior Plan that are forfeited prior to becoming vested (provided that the holder received no benefits of ownership of such restricted shares or restricted stock units other than voting rights and the accumulation of unvested
dividends and unpaid dividend equivalents that are likewise forfeited). 
 Shares of Common Stock will be made available from the authorized but unissued
shares of the Company or from shares reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market. The shares of Common Stock subject to (i) any Award granted under the Plan that shall expire, terminate or be annulled for any reason
without having been exercised, (ii) any Award of any SARs or Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan that shall be exercised or settled, as the case may be, for cash, and (iii) any Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units
that shall be forfeited prior to becoming vested (provided that the Holder received no benefits of ownership of such Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units other than voting rights and the accumulation of Unvested Dividends and unpaid Dividend
Equivalents that are likewise forfeited) shall again be available for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the case of the exercise of a SAR for shares, the number of shares counted against the shares available under the
Plan shall be the full number of shares subject to the SAR multiplied by the percentage of the SAR actually exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle such SAR upon exercise; (ii) shares of Common Stock delivered
(either by actual delivery, attestation, or net exercise) to the Company by a Holder to (I) purchase shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an Award or (II) satisfy tax withholding obligations (including shares retained from the Award
creating the tax obligation) shall not be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of Awards; and (iii) shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an
Award shall not increase the number of shares available for future grant of Awards. Except for Awards described in Section 4.3 or 11.1, no person may be granted in any calendar year Awards covering more than 25 million shares of Common
Stock (as such amount may be adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 4.2). No person shall be awarded Cash Awards during any calendar year that are designed to pay out in excess of $25,000,000 per calendar year covered by the Cash
Award. 
 4.2 Adjustments. If the Company subdivides its outstanding shares of any series of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of such
series of Common Stock (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, or otherwise) or combines its outstanding shares of any series of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of such series of Common Stock (by reverse stock split,
reclassification, or otherwise) or if the Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up,
spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase such series of Common Stock or other similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations) affects any series of
Common Stock so that an adjustment is required to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee, in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate,
shall make such adjustments to any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of stock which thereafter may be awarded, optioned or otherwise made subject to the benefits contemplated by the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares of
stock subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the purchase, exercise or base price and the relevant appreciation base with respect to any of the foregoing, provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a
whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all shares of any series of Common Stock are 

 
redeemed, then each outstanding Award shall be adjusted to substitute for the shares of such series of Common Stock subject thereto the kind and amount of cash, securities or other assets issued
or paid in the redemption of the equivalent number of shares of such series of Common Stock and otherwise the terms of such Award, including, in the case of Options or similar rights, the aggregate exercise price, and, in the case of SARs, the
aggregate base price, shall remain constant before and after the substitution (unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement). The Committee may, if deemed appropriate, provide for a cash payment to any Holder
of an Award in connection with any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.2. 
 4.3 Substitute Awards. In connection with a merger or
consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate
thereof. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Board deems appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Awards contained in the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not count against the overall share limit set forth
in Section 4.1. 
 Article V 
 Eligibility 

5.1 General. The persons who shall be eligible to participate in the Plan and to receive Awards under the Plan shall, subject to Section 5.2, be
such persons who are employees (including officers) of, or independent contractors providing services to, the Company or its Subsidiaries as the Committee shall select. Awards may be made to employees or independent contractors who hold or have held
Awards under the Plan or any similar or other awards under any other plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates. 
 5.2 Ineligibility. No member of
the Committee, while serving as such, shall be eligible to receive an Award. 
 Article VI

 6.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall designate from time to time those eligible persons to be granted Options, the time when each Option shall be granted to such eligible persons, the series and number of shares of Common Stock subject to
such Option, and, subject to Section 6.2, the exercise price of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option. 
 6.2 Exercise Price. The
price at which shares may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be fixed by the Committee and may be no less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of the applicable series of Common Stock subject to the Option as of the date the Option

 6.3 Term of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan with respect to death, retirement and termination of employment or
service, the term of each Option shall be for such period as the Committee shall determine as set forth in the applicable Agreement. 
 6.4 Exercise of
Options. An Option granted under the Plan shall become (and remain) exercisable during the term of the Option to the extent provided in the applicable Agreement and the Plan and, unless the Agreement otherwise provides, may be exercised to the
extent exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during such term; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of an Option, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of such Option, may accelerate the time
or times at which such Option may be exercised in whole or in part. 
 6.5 Manner of Exercise. 

 

	 	(a)	 Form of Payment. An Option shall be exercised by notice to the Company upon such terms and conditions as
the Agreement may provide and in accordance with such other procedures for the exercise of Options as the Committee may establish from time to time. The method or methods of payment of the exercise price for the shares to be purchased upon exercise
of an Option and of any amounts required by Section 11.9 shall be determined by the Committee and may consist of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) whole shares of any series of

	 	
Common Stock (whether by delivery or attestation), (iv) the withholding of shares of the applicable series of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of the Option, (v) the delivery,
together with a properly executed exercise notice, of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing
methods of payment, or such other consideration and method of payment as may be permitted for the issuance of shares under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The permitted method or methods of payment of the amounts payable upon exercise of an
Option, if other than in cash, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement and may be subject to such conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. 

  

	 	(b)	 Value of Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement,
shares of any series of Common Stock delivered in payment of all or any part of the amounts payable in connection with the exercise of an Option, and shares of any series of Common Stock withheld for such payment, shall be valued for such purpose at
their Fair Market Value as of the exercise date. 

  

	 	(c)	 Issuance of Shares. The Company shall effect the transfer of the shares of Common Stock purchased under
the Option as soon as practicable after the exercise thereof and payment in full of the exercise price therefor and of any amounts required by Section 11.9, and within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the books
of the Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) no Holder or other person exercising an Option shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares of
Common Stock subject to an Option granted under the Plan until due exercise and full payment has been made, and (ii) no adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such due
exercise and full payment. In no event shall any dividends or dividend equivalents be paid on or accrued on Options. 

 6.6 Limitation
on Repricing. Unless such action is approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company may not (except as provided for under Section 4.2): (1) amend any outstanding Option granted under the Plan to provide an exercise price per share
that is lower than the then-current exercise price per share of such outstanding Option, (2) cancel any outstanding option (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the Plan (other than Awards
granted pursuant to Section 4.3) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and having an exercise price per share lower than the then-current exercise price per share of the cancelled option, (3) cancel in exchange
for a cash payment any outstanding Option with an exercise price per share above the then-current Fair Market Value, other than pursuant to Section 11.1(b), or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a
“repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the Exchange. 
 Article VII 

SARs 
 7.1 Grant of SARs. Subject to the limitations of
the Plan, SARs may be granted by the Committee to such eligible persons in such numbers, with respect to any specified series of Common Stock, and at such times during the term of the Plan as the Committee shall determine. Subject to the limitations
of the Plan, SARs shall be exercisable in whole or in part upon notice to the Company upon such terms and conditions as are provided in the Agreement. 

7.2 Exercise of SARs. SARs shall be exercisable at the time, to the extent and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Agreement;
provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of an Award of SARs, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of any such SAR, may accelerate the time or times at which such SARs may be exercised in whole or in part. The base price of
a SAR may be no less than the Fair Market Value of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR was granted as of the date the SAR is granted. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, upon the exercise of a SAR and unless
otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, for each share of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR is being
exercised, consideration (in the form determined as provided in Section 7.3) equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR was granted on the date of
exercise over the base price per share of such SAR. 
 7.3 Consideration. The consideration to be received upon the exercise of a SAR by the Holder
shall be paid in the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR was granted (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of such SAR) or cash equivalent thereto, as determined by the Committee and provided in the
applicable Agreement. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of a SAR, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, the Holder will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. In no event shall any
dividends or dividend equivalents be paid on or accrued with respect to a SAR. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, to the extent a SAR is exercisable, it will be exercised automatically on its expiration date. 

 

 7.4 Limitations. The applicable Agreement may provide for a limit on the amount payable to a Holder
upon exercise of SARs at any time or in the aggregate, for a limit on the time periods during which a Holder may exercise SARs, and for such other limits on the rights of the Holder and such other terms and conditions of the SAR, including a
condition that the SAR may be exercised only in accordance with rules and regulations adopted from time to time, as the Committee may determine. Such rules and regulations may govern the right to exercise SARs granted prior to the adoption or
amendment of such rules and regulations as well as SARs granted thereafter. 
 7.5 Exercise. For purposes of this Article VII, the date of exercise
of a SAR shall mean the date on which the Company shall have received notice from the Holder of the SAR of the exercise of such SAR (unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement). 

7.6 Limitation on Repricing. Unless such action is approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company may not (except as provided for under
Section 4.2): (1) amend any outstanding SAR granted under the Plan to provide a base price per share that is lower than the then-current base price per share of such outstanding SAR, (2) cancel any outstanding stock appreciation right
(whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the Plan (other than Awards granted pursuant to Section 4.3) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and having a base price
per share lower than the then-current base price per share of the cancelled stock appreciation right, (3) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding SAR with a base price per share above the then-current Fair Market Value, other than
pursuant to Section 11.1(b), or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a “repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the Exchange. 

Article VIII 
 Restricted Shares 

8.1 Grant. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall designate those persons eligible to be granted Awards of Restricted Shares,
shall determine the time when each such Award shall be granted, and shall designate (or set forth the basis for determining) the Vesting Date or Vesting Dates for each Award of Restricted Shares, and may prescribe other restrictions, terms and
conditions applicable to the vesting of such Restricted Shares in addition to those provided in the Plan. The Committee shall determine the price, if any, to be paid by the Holder for the Restricted Shares; provided, however, that the issuance of
Restricted Shares shall be made for at least the minimum consideration necessary to permit such Restricted Shares to be deemed fully paid and nonassessable. All determinations made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be
specified in the Agreement. 
 Any dividends (whether paid in cash, stock or property) declared and paid by the Company with respect to shares of Restricted
Shares (“Unvested Dividend”) shall be paid to the Holder only if and when such shares become free from the restrictions on transferability and forfeitability that apply to such shares. Each payment of previously Unvested Dividends will be
made no later than the end of the calendar year in which the dividends are paid to stockholders of that specified series of Common Stock or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the lapsing of the restrictions on transferability and
the forfeitability provisions applicable to the underlying shares of Restricted Stock. No interest will be paid on the Unvested Dividends. 
 8.2
Issuance of Restricted Shares. When shares of the applicable series of Common Stock are issued at the beginning of the Restriction Period, book entry shares or any stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall be
registered in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Shares shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, any certificates representing the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Unvested Dividends shall bear a
restrictive legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Shares (and such Unvested Dividend), and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto, are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the applicable
Agreement. Any such certificates shall remain in the custody of the Company or its designee, and the Holder shall deposit with the custodian stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, so as to permit retransfer to the
Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Unvested Dividends that shall be forfeited or otherwise not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the applicable Agreement. 

 8.3 Restrictions. Restricted Shares issued at the beginning of the Restriction Period shall
constitute issued and outstanding shares of the applicable series of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of shares
of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Shares; except that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of any stock
certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Shares or to have the book entry ownership designation changed until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been
fulfilled or waived; (ii) the Company or its designee will retain custody of any stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period as provided in Section 8.2; (iii) the Holder may not sell,
assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber or dispose of the Restricted Shares or his or her interest in any of them during the Restriction Period; and (iv) a breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan or established
by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Shares will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Shares with respect thereto. 
 8.4 Cash Payments.
In connection with any Award of Restricted Shares, an Agreement may provide for the payment of a cash amount to the Holder of such Restricted Shares after such Restricted Shares shall have become vested. Such cash amounts shall be payable in
accordance with such additional restrictions, terms and conditions as shall be prescribed by the Committee in the Agreement and shall be in addition to any other salary, incentive, bonus or other compensation payments which such Holder shall be
otherwise entitled or eligible to receive from the Company. 
 8.5 Completion of Restriction Period. On the Vesting Date with respect to each Award
of Restricted Shares and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions, (i) all or the applicable portion of such Restricted Shares shall become vested, (ii) any Unvested Dividends with respect to such
Restricted Shares shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Shares related thereto shall have become vested, and (iii) any cash amount to be received by the Holder with respect to such Restricted Shares shall become payable, all in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Agreement. Any such Restricted Shares and Unvested Dividends that shall not become vested shall be forfeited to the Company, and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights (including dividend and
voting rights) with respect to such Restricted Shares and Unvested Dividends that shall have been so forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsequent to the grant of an Award of Restricted Shares, the Committee, at any time before complete
vesting or forfeiture of any such Restricted Shares, may accelerate the time or times at which such Restricted Shares vest in whole or in part. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide that the delivery of any Restricted Shares and Unvested
Dividends that shall have become vested, and payment of any related cash amounts that shall have become payable under this Article VIII, shall be deferred until such date or dates as the recipient may elect. Any election of a recipient pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall be filed in writing with the Committee in accordance with such rules and regulations, including any deadline for the making of such an election, as the Committee may provide, and shall be made in compliance with
Section 409A of the Code. 
 Article IX 
 Restricted Stock
Units 
 9.1 Grant. In addition to granting Awards of Options, SARs and Restricted Shares, the Committee shall, subject to the limitations of the
Plan, have authority to grant to eligible persons Awards of Restricted Stock Units which may be in the form of shares of any specified series of Common Stock or units, the value of which is based, in whole or in part, on the Fair Market Value of the
shares of any specified series of Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, including any rules established pursuant to Section 9.2, Awards of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such terms, restrictions, conditions, vesting
requirements and payment rules as the Committee may determine in its discretion, which need not be identical for each Award. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and neither the Board nor the Committee need treat Holders uniformly. The
determinations made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be specified in the applicable Agreement. 
 9.2 Rules. The Committee
may, in its discretion, establish any or all of the following rules for application to an Award of Restricted Stock Units: 
  

	 	(a)	 Any shares of Common Stock which are part of an Award of Restricted Stock Units may not be assigned, sold,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the shares are issued or, if later, the date provided by the Committee at the time of the Award. 

	 	(b)	 Such Awards may provide for the payment of cash consideration by the person to whom such Award is granted or
provide that the Award, and any shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection therewith, if applicable, shall be delivered without the payment of cash consideration; provided, however, that the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in
connection with an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be for at least the minimum consideration necessary to permit such shares to be deemed fully paid and nonassessable. 

 

	 	(c)	 Awards of Restricted Stock Units may provide for deferred payment schedules, vesting over a specified period of
employment or service, the payment after vesting (on a current or deferred basis) of amounts of Dividend Equivalents with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Award, and elections by the employee to defer payment of the
Award or the lifting of restrictions on the Award, if any, provided that any such deferrals shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Restricted Stock Units shall not constitute issued and outstanding shares of the
applicable series of Common Stock, and the Holder shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by such an Award of Restricted Stock Units, in each case until Awards have paid out in shares of
Common Stock after the end of the Restriction Period. 

  

	 	(d)	 The Awards of Restricted Stock Units may provide Holders with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents.
Dividend Equivalents may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which paid, as provided in the Agreement with respect
to the Restricted Stock Units. No interest will be paid on the Dividend Equivalents. 

  

	 	(e)	 In such circumstances as the Committee may deem advisable, the Committee may waive or otherwise remove, in
whole or in part, any restrictions or limitations to which a Restricted Stock Unit Award was made subject at the time of grant. 

 Article
X 
 Cash Awards, other Stock-Based Awards, and Performance Awards 

10.1 Cash Awards. In addition to granting Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Stock-Based Awards, the Committee shall,
subject to the limitations of the Plan, have authority to grant to eligible persons Cash Awards. Each Cash Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. The determinations made
by the Committee pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be specified in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsequent to the grant of a Cash Award, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of any such Cash
Award, may accelerate the time or times at which such Cash Award vests in whole or in part. 
 10.2 Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Awards of shares
of Common Stock, and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares of Common Stock, may be granted hereunder to Holders (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall
also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Holder is otherwise entitled. Other Stock-Based Awards may be paid in shares of Common Stock or cash, as
the Board or the Committee may determine. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board or the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock-Based Award, including any purchase price applicable thereto. Other Stock-Based
Awards may provide Holders with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Other Stock-Based
Awards with respect to which paid, as provided in the Agreement with respect to the Other Stock-Based Awards. No interest will be paid on the Dividend Equivalents. Subsequent to the grant of an Other Stock-Based Award, the Committee, at any time
before complete termination of any such Other Stock-Based Award, may accelerate the time or times at which such Other Stock-Based Award vests in whole or in part. 

10.3 Designation as a Performance Award. The Committee shall have the right to designate any Award of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, Restricted
Stock Units, Other Stock-Based Awards or Cash Awards as a Performance Award. 
 10.4 Performance Objectives. The grant or vesting of a Performance
Award shall be subject to the achievement of Performance Objectives over a performance period established by the Committee based upon one or more of the 

 
following business criteria that apply to the Holder, one or more business units, divisions or Subsidiaries of the Company or the applicable sector of the Company, or the Company as a whole, and
if so desired by the Committee, by comparison with a peer group of companies: increased revenue; net income measures (including income after capital costs and income before or after taxes); stock price measures (including growth measures and total
stockholder return); price per share of Common Stock; market share; audience metrics (such as program ratings, web impressions, and subscribers); earnings per share (actual or targeted growth); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization (EBITDA); economic value added; market value added; debt to equity ratio; cash flow measures (including cash flow return on capital, cash flow return on tangible capital, net cash flow and net cash flow before financing activities);
return measures (including return on equity, return on average assets, return on capital, risk-adjusted return on capital, return on investors’ capital and return on average equity); operating measures (including operating income, adjusted
operating income before depreciation and amortization, funds from operations, cash from operations, after-tax operating income; sales volumes, production volumes and production efficiency); expense measures
(including overhead cost and general and administrative expense); margins; stockholder value; total stockholder return; proceeds from dispositions; total market value and corporate values measures (including ethics compliance, environmental and
safety) or any other business criteria established by the Committee. Unless otherwise stated, such a Performance Objective need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example,
maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). The Committee shall have the authority to determine whether the Performance Objectives and other terms and conditions of the
Award are satisfied, and the Committee’s determination as to the achievement of Performance Objectives relating to a Performance Award shall be made in writing. 

The Committee may specify that such performance measures shall be adjusted to exclude any one or more of
(i) non-recurring or unusual gains or losses, (ii) gains or losses on the dispositions of discontinued operations, (iii) the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, (iv) the
writedown of any asset, (vi) fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, (vi) charges for restructuring and rationalization programs, and (vii) any other adjustment determined by the Committee. Such performance measures
(i) may vary by Holder and may be different for different Awards and (ii) may be particular to a Holder or the department, branch, line of business, subsidiary or other unit in which the Holder works and may cover such period as may be
specified by the Committee. 
 10.5 Waiver of Performance Objectives. The Committee shall have the discretion to modify or waive the Performance
Objectives or conditions to the grant or vesting of a Performance Award unless the relevant Agreement states otherwise. 
 Article XI 

General Provisions 
 11.1 Acceleration of Awards. 

 

	 	(a)	 Death or Disability. If a Holder’s employment shall terminate by reason of death or Disability,
notwithstanding any contrary waiting period, installment period, vesting schedule or Restriction Period in any Agreement or in the Plan, unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise: (i) in the case of an Option or SAR, each outstanding
Option or SAR granted under the Plan shall immediately become exercisable in full in respect of the aggregate number of shares covered thereby; (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares, the Restriction Period applicable to each such Award of
Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have expired and all such Restricted Shares and any related Unvested Dividends shall become vested and any related cash amounts payable pursuant to the applicable Agreement shall be adjusted in such manner as may
be provided in the Agreement; and (iii) in the case of Restricted Stock Units, each such Award of Restricted Stock Units and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents shall become vested in full. 

 

	 	(b)	 Approved Transactions; Board Change; Control Purchase. 

In the event of any Approved Transaction, Board Change or Control Purchase, notwithstanding any contrary waiting period, installment period,
vesting schedule or Restriction Period in any Agreement or in the Plan, unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise: (i) in the case of an Option or SAR, each such outstanding Option or SAR granted under the Plan shall become exercisable
in full in respect of the aggregate number of shares covered thereby; (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares, the Restriction Period 

 
applicable to each such Award of Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have expired and all such Restricted Shares and any related Unvested Dividends shall become vested and any related cash
amounts payable pursuant to the applicable Agreement shall be adjusted in such manner as may be provided in the Agreement; and (iii) in the case of Restricted Stock Units, each such Award of Restricted Stock Units and any unpaid Dividend
Equivalents shall become vested in full, in each case effective upon the Board Change or Control Purchase or immediately prior to consummation of the Approved Transaction. The effect, if any, on a Cash Award or Other Stock-Based Award of an Approved
Transaction, Board Change or Control Purchase shall be prescribed in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that any or all
outstanding Awards of any or all types granted pursuant to the Plan will not vest or become exercisable on an accelerated basis in connection with an Approved Transaction if effective provision has been made for the taking of such action which, in
the opinion of the Committee, is equitable and appropriate to substitute a new Award for such Award or to assume such Award and to make such new or assumed Award, as nearly as may be practicable, equivalent to the old Award (before giving effect to
any acceleration of the vesting or exercisability thereof), taking into account, to the extent applicable, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets into or for which the applicable series of Common Stock may be changed, converted or
exchanged in connection with the Approved Transaction. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a
corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee shall be authorized, in its discretion, (i) to provide, prior to the transaction, for the acceleration of the vesting
and exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, the Award and, if the transaction is a cash merger, provide for the termination of any portion of the Award that remains unexercised at the time of such transaction, or (ii) to
cancel any such Awards and to deliver to the Holders cash in an amount that the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion is equal to the fair market value of such Awards on the date of such event, which in the case of Options or SARs shall
be the excess of the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on such date over the exercise price of the Options or the base price of the SARs, as applicable. 

No action pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) shall be made in a manner that results in noncompliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the
Code, to the extent applicable. 
 11.2 Termination of Employment or Service. 

 

	 	(a)	 General. If a Holder’s employment or service shall terminate prior to an Option’s or
SAR’s becoming exercisable or being exercised in full, or during the Restriction Period with respect to any Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units, then such Option or SAR shall thereafter become or be exercisable, the Holder’s rights
to any unvested Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Unvested Dividends, unpaid Dividend Equivalents and related cash amounts shall thereafter vest, in each case solely to the extent provided in the applicable Agreement; provided, however,
that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) no Option or SAR may be exercised after the scheduled expiration date thereof; (ii) if the Holder’s employment terminates by reason of
death or Disability, the Option or SAR shall remain exercisable for a period of at least one year following such termination (but not later than the scheduled expiration of such Option or SAR); and (iii) any termination of the Holder’s
employment or service for “cause” will be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2(b). The effect on a Cash Award or Other Stock-Based Award of the termination of a Holder’s employment or service for any reason,
other than for “cause,” shall be prescribed in the applicable Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	 Termination for Cause. If a Holder’s employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company shall be terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary for “cause” during the Restriction Period with respect to any Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units or prior to any Option or SAR becoming exercisable or being exercised
in full or prior to the payment in full of any Cash Award (for these purposes, “cause” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in any employment agreement to which such Holder is a party or, in the absence thereof, shall include
insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform his duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity), then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee
and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) all Options and SARs and all unvested or unsettled Restricted Stock Units and all unpaid Cash Awards held by such Holder shall immediately terminate, and (ii) such Holder’s rights to all
Restricted Shares, Unvested Dividends, any unpaid Dividend Equivalents and any related cash amounts shall be forfeited immediately. The Committee may determine retroactively, within one year after employment or service ends, that the Company or its
Subsidiary had “cause” for termination of a Holder who has ceased to be employed or in service and may cause the forfeiture of any still outstanding Awards. 

 

	 	(c)	 Miscellaneous. The Committee may determine whether any given leave of absence constitutes a termination
of employment; provided, however, that for purposes of the Plan, (i) a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave
does not exceed 90 days, and (ii) a leave of absence in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company provided the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or contract, shall not be deemed a
termination of employment. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, Awards made under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment so long as the Holder continues to be an employee of the
Company. For this purpose, “Company” shall mean the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, the services providers of which are eligible to receive Awards under this Plan. 

11.3 Right of Company to Terminate Employment or Service. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award, and no action of the Company or the Committee
with respect thereto, shall confer or be construed to confer on any Holder any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company to terminate the employment or service of the Holder at any time, with or without cause, subject, however, to the provisions of any employment or other service-providing agreement between the Holder and the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company. 
 11.4 Nonalienation of Benefits; Nontransferability of Awards. Except as set forth below, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same
shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the Person entitled to such benefits. Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Holder, shall be
exercisable only by the Holder; provided, however, that, except with respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Board or the Committee may permit or provide in an Award for the gratuitous transfer of the Award by the Holder to
or for the benefit of any immediate family member, family trust or other entity established for the benefit of the Holder and/or an immediate family member thereof if the Company would be eligible to use a Form
S-8 under the Securities Act for the registration of the sale of the Common Stock subject to such Award to such proposed transferee; provided further, that the Company shall not be required to recognize any
such permitted transfer until such time as such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company confirming that such transferee shall be bound
by all of the terms and conditions of the Award. References to a Holder, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 11.4 shall be
deemed to restrict a transfer to the Company. 
 11.5 Documentation. Each Award shall be evidenced in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as
the Committee shall determine. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan. Any such documentation may contain (but shall not be required to contain) such provisions as the Committee deems appropriate to
ensure that the penalty provisions of Section 4999 of the Code will not apply to any stock or cash received by the Holder from the Company. Any such Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time as approved by the Committee as
contemplated by Section 11.7(b). 
 11.6 Designation of Beneficiaries. Each person who shall be granted an Award under the Plan may designate a
beneficiary or beneficiaries and may change such designation from time to time by filing a written designation of beneficiary or beneficiaries with the Committee on a form to be prescribed by it, provided that no such designation shall be effective
unless so filed prior to the death of such person. 
 11.7 Termination and Amendment. 

 

	 	(a)	 General. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated as hereinafter provided, no Awards may
be made under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Plan may be terminated at any time prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and may, from time to time, be suspended or discontinued or modified or
amended if such action is deemed advisable by the Committee. 

	 	(b)	 Modification. No termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the
person to whom any Award shall theretofore have been granted, materially adversely affect the rights of such person with respect to such Award, except as otherwise permitted by Section 11.18. No modification, extension, renewal or other change
in any Award granted under the Plan shall be made after the grant of such Award, unless the same is consistent with the provisions of the Plan. With the consent of the Holder, or as otherwise permitted under Section 11.18, and subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan (including Section 11.7(a)), the Committee may amend outstanding Agreements with any Holder, including any amendment which would (i) accelerate the time or times at which the Award may be exercised and/or
(ii) extend the scheduled expiration date of the Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may, but solely with the Holder’s consent, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, agree to cancel any Award under
the Plan and grant a new Award in substitution therefor, provided that the Award so substituted shall satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Award is made. Nothing contained in the foregoing provisions of this
Section 11.7(b) shall be construed to prevent the Committee from providing in any Agreement that the rights of the Holder with respect to the Award evidenced thereby shall be subject to such rules and regulations as the Committee may, subject
to the express provisions of the Plan, adopt from time to time or impair the enforceability of any such provision. 

 11.8 Government
and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company with respect to Awards shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including the effectiveness of any
registration statement required under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or association on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted. For so long as any series of Common Stock are registered under the
Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with any legal requirements (i) to maintain a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act with respect to all shares of the applicable series of Common Stock
that may be issued to Holders under the Plan and (ii) to file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. 
 11.9
Withholding. The Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or pay cash in respect of any Award under the Plan shall be subject to applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. Federal, state and local
withholding tax due at the time of an Award, upon the exercise of any Option or SAR or upon the vesting of, or expiration of restrictions with respect to, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards or the satisfaction of
the Performance Objectives applicable to a Performance Award, as appropriate, may, in the discretion of the Committee, be paid in shares of the applicable series of Common Stock already owned by the Holder or through the withholding of shares
otherwise issuable to such Holder, upon such terms and conditions (including the conditions referenced in Section 6.5) as the Committee shall determine. If the Holder shall fail to pay, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the
payment to the Company of, all such federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company, then the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Holder an
amount equal to any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required to be withheld by the Company with respect to such Award. 
 If provided for in an
Award or approved by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion, a Holder may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from
the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value; provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board or the Committee, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot
exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), except that, to
the extent that the Company is able to retain shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (determined by, or in a manner approved by, the Company) that exceeds the statutory minimum applicable withholding tax without financial accounting
implications or the Company is withholding in a jurisdiction that does not have a statutory minimum withholding tax, the Company may retain such number of shares of Common Stock (up to the number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
maximum individual statutory rate of tax (determined by, or in a manner approved by, the Company)) as the Company shall determine in its sole discretion to satisfy the tax liability associated with any Award. Shares used to satisfy tax withholding
requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements. 
 11.10 Nonexclusivity of the Plan.
The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including the granting of stock options and the
awarding of stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

 11.11 Treatment with Respect to Other Benefit Programs. By acceptance of an Award, unless otherwise
provided in the applicable Agreement or required by law, each Holder shall be deemed to have agreed that such Award is special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account, in any manner, as salary, compensation or bonus in determining
the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement or other employee benefit plan, program or policy of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. In addition, each beneficiary of a deceased Holder shall be deemed to have agreed that such
Award will not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage, if any, provided by the Company or its Subsidiary on the life of the Holder which is payable to such beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company. 
 11.12 Unfunded Plan. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall be required to segregate any cash or
any shares of Common Stock which may at any time be represented by Awards, and the Plan shall constitute an “unfunded” plan of the Company. Except as provided in Article VIII with respect to Awards of Restricted Shares and except as
expressly set forth in an Agreement, no employee or independent contractor shall have voting or other rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by an Award prior to the delivery of such shares. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
of the Company shall, by any provisions of the Plan, be deemed to be a trustee of any shares of Common Stock or any other property, and the liabilities of the Company and any Subsidiary of the Company to any employee or independent contractor
pursuant to the Plan shall be those of a debtor pursuant to such contract obligations as are created by or pursuant to the Plan, and the rights of any employee, former employee, independent contractor, former independent contractor or beneficiary
under the Plan shall be limited to those of a general creditor of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be. In its sole discretion, the Board may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the
obligations of the Company under the Plan, provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan. 

11.13 Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

 11.14 Accounts. The delivery of any shares of Common Stock and the payment of any amount in respect of an Award shall be for the account of the
Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, and any such delivery or payment shall not be made until the recipient shall have paid or made satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any applicable withholding taxes as
provided in Section 11.9. 
 11.15 Legends. Each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock subject to an Award shall bear such legends as
the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect or refer to any terms, conditions or restrictions of the Award applicable to such shares, including any to the effect that the shares represented thereby may not be disposed of unless the
Company has received an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company, that such disposition will not violate any federal or state securities laws. 
 11.16
Company’s Rights. The grant of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make reclassifications, reorganizations or other changes of or to its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its business or assets. 
 11.17 Interpretation. The words
“include,” “includes,” “included” and “including” to the extent used in the Plan shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” 

11.18 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. If and to the extent (i) any portion of any payment, compensation or other
benefit provided to a Holder pursuant to the Plan in connection with his or her employment or service termination constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) the Holder
is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, in each case as determined by the Company or its Subsidiary in accordance with its procedures, by which determinations, the Holder (through accepting the Award) agrees
that he or she is bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A of the
Code) (the “New Payment Date”), except as Section 409A of the Code may then permit. The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Holder during the period between the date of separation from service and the
New Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder in a lump sum on such New Payment Date, and any remaining payments will be paid on their original schedule. 

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries makes any representations or warranties and shall have no liability to the Holder or any other person if any
provisions of or payments, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not to satisfy the conditions of that section. 

 

 11.19 Authorization of Sub-Plans (including for Grants to non-U.S. Employees and Independent Contractors). The Board or the Committee may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying
applicable securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions. The Board or the Committee shall establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Plan containing (i) such limitations on the
Board’s or the Committee’s discretion under the Plan as the Board or the Committee deems necessary or desirable or (ii) such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Board or the Committee shall
deem necessary or desirable. All supplements adopted by the Board or the Committee shall be deemed to be part of the Plan, but each supplement shall apply only to Holders within the affected jurisdiction and the Company shall not be required to
provide copies of any supplement to Holders in any jurisdiction which is not the subject of such supplement. 
 11.20 Clawback Policy.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award shall be subject to recovery or clawback by the Company under any clawback policy adopted by the Company in accordance with SEC regulations or other applicable law, as amended or
superseded from time to time. 
 11.21 Stock Ownership Guidelines. Any Award shall be subject to any applicable stock ownership guidelines adopted by
the Company, as amended or superseded from time to time. 
 11.22 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no
individual acting as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or its Subsidiary will be liable to any Holder, former Holder, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with
the Plan, nor will such individual be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or its Subsidiary. The
Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been or will be delegated, against any cost or expense
(including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Board’s approval) arising out of any act or omission to act concerning the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad
faith.Document
