BEIGENE, LTD.  
 
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2018 EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN 
        The purpose of the BeiGene, Ltd. Second Amended and Restated 2018 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is to provide eligible employees of BeiGene, Ltd. (the "Company") and each Designated Subsidiary (as defined in Section 11) with opportunities to purchase Shares (either in the form of Ordinary Shares or ADSs). 7,355,315 Ordinary Shares (including the number of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs purchased under the Plan) (representing approximately 0.95% (or less) of the issued share capital of the Company as at December 7, 2018, being the effective date of the shareholder approval of this second amended and restated Plan by the Board (the “Amended Effective Date”) in the aggregate have been approved and reserved for this purpose. The Plan is intended to constitute an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and shall be interpreted in accordance with that intent.
        1.    Administration.    The Plan will be administered by the person or persons (the "Administrator") appointed by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") for such purpose. The Administrator has authority at any time to: (i) adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for the administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable; (ii) interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan; (iii) make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; (iv) decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; (v) implement any procedures, steps, additional or different requirements as may be necessary to comply with any local laws, including the laws of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") and the other countries in which the Company operates, that may be applicable to this Plan, any Options or any related documents; and (vi) otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan, in its sole and absolute discretion and taking into account any matters in its sole and absolute discretion. All interpretations and decisions of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or individual exercising administrative authority with respect to the Plan shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted hereunder.
        2.    Offerings.    The Company will make one or more offerings to eligible employees to purchase Shares under the Plan ("Offerings"). Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the initial Offering will begin on the first business day occurring on or after September1, 2018 and will end on last business day occurring on or before February 28, 2019 (the "Initial Offering"). Thereafter, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, an Offering will begin on the first business day occurring on or after each March 1st and September 1st and will end on the last business day occurring on or before the following February 28th (or February 29th, if applicable) and August 31st, respectively. The Administrator may, in its discretion, designate a different period for any Offering, provided that no Offering shall exceed 27 months in duration.
        3.    Eligibility.    All individuals classified as employees on the payroll records of the Company and each Designated Subsidiary are eligible to participate in any one or more of the Offerings under the Plan, provided that as of the first day of the applicable Offering (the "Offering Date") they are employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary and have completed at least six months of employment. Participation shall not otherwise be subject to any minimum performance targets. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, individuals who are not classified as employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for purposes of the Company's or applicable Designated Subsidiary's payroll system as of the Offering Date are not considered to be eligible employees of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary and shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan. In the event any such individuals are reclassified as employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for any purpose, including, without limitation, common law or statutory employees, by any action of any third party, including, without limitation, any government agency, or as a result of any private lawsuit, action or administrative proceeding, such individuals shall, notwithstanding such reclassification, remain ineligible for participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive means for individuals who are not classified as employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on the Company's or Designated Subsidiary's payroll system as of the Offering Date to become eligible to participate in this Plan is through an amendment to this Plan, duly executed by the Company, which specifically renders such individuals eligible to participate herein.
        4.    Participation.    
        (a)   An eligible employee who is not a Participant in any prior Offering may participate in a subsequent Offering by submitting an enrollment form to the Company at least 15 business days before the Offering Date (or by such other deadline as shall be established by the Administrator for the Offering).
        (b)    Enrollment.    The enrollment form will (a) state a whole percentage or the amount to be deducted from an eligible employee's Compensation (as defined in Section 11) per pay period, (b) authorize the purchase of Shares in each Offering in accordance with the terms of the Plan and (c) specify the exact name or names in which Shares purchased for such individual are to be issued pursuant to Section 10, and (d) provide such other terms as required by the Company. An employee who does not enroll in accordance with these procedures will be deemed to have waived the right to participate. Unless a Participant files a new enrollment form or withdraws from the Plan, such Participant's deductions and purchases will continue at the same percentage or amount of Compensation for future Offerings, provided he or she remains eligible.
        (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in the Plan will neither be permitted nor be denied contrary to the requirements of the Code.
        5.    Employee Contributions.    Each eligible employee may authorize payroll deductions from his or her after tax Compensation at a minimum of 1 percent up to a maximum of 10 percent of such employee's Compensation for each pay period. The Company will maintain book accounts showing the amount of payroll deductions made by each Participant for each Offering. No interest will accrue or be paid on payroll deductions.
        6.    Deduction Changes.    Except as may be determined by the Administrator in advance of an Offering, a Participant may not increase or decrease his or her payroll deduction during any Offering, but may increase or decrease his or her payroll deduction with respect to the next Offering (subject to the limitations of Section 5) by filing a new enrollment form at least 15 business days before the next Offering Date (or by such other deadline as shall be established by the Administrator for the Offering). The Administrator may, in advance of any Offering, establish rules permitting a Participant to increase, decrease or terminate his or her payroll deduction during an Offering.
        7.    Withdrawal.    A Participant may withdraw from participation in the Plan by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Company. The Participant's withdrawal will be effective as of the next business day. Following a Participant's withdrawal, the Company will promptly refund such individual's entire account balance under the Plan to him or her (after payment for any Shares purchased before the effective date of withdrawal). Partial withdrawals are not permitted. Such an employee may not begin participation again during the remainder of the Offering, but may enroll in a subsequent Offering in accordance with Section 4.
        8.    Grant of Options.    On each Offering Date, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a Participant in the Plan an option ("Option") to purchase on the last day of such Offering (the "Exercise Date"), at the Option Price hereinafter provided for, the lowest of (a) a number of Shares determined by dividing such Participant's accumulated payroll deductions on such Exercise Date by the lower of (i) 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Offering Date, or (ii) 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Exercise Date, (b) a number of Shares determined by multiplying $2,083 by the number of full months in the Offering and dividing the result by the Fair Market Value on the Offering Date; or (c) such other lesser maximum number of Shares as shall have been established by the Administrator in advance of the Offering; provided, however, that such Option shall be subject to the limitations set forth below. Each Participant's Option shall be exercisable only to the extent of such Participant's accumulated payroll deductions on the Exercise Date. The purchase price for each Share purchased under each Option (the "Option Price") will be 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Offering Date or the Exercise Date, whichever is less.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant may be granted an option hereunder if such Participant, immediately after the option was granted, would be treated as owning Shares possessing 5 percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of share capital of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary (as defined in Section 11). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining the share ownership of a Participant, and all Shares which the Participant has a contractual right to purchase shall be treated as Shares owned by the Participant. In addition, no Participant may be granted an Option which permits his or her rights to purchase Shares under the Plan, and any other employee share purchase plan of the Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such Shares (determined on the option grant date or dates) for each calendar year in which the Option is outstanding at any time. The purpose of the limitation in the preceding sentence is to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and shall be applied taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted. Furthermore, unless approved by the Company's shareholders in a general meeting, the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and to be issued upon the exercise of Options granted and to be granted under the Plan and any other plan of the Company to a Participant within any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the Ordinary Shares of the Company in issue at the date of any grant.
        9.    Exercise of Option and Purchase of Shares.    Each employee who continues to be a Participant in the Plan on the Exercise Date shall be deemed to have exercised his or her Option on such date and shall acquire from the Company such number of whole Shares reserved for the purpose of the Plan as his or her accumulated payroll deductions on such date will purchase at the Option Price, subject to any other limitations contained in the Plan. Any amount remaining in a Participant's account at the end of an Offering solely by reason of the inability to purchase a fractional Share will be carried forward to the next Offering; any other balance remaining in a Participant's account at the end of an Offering will be refunded to the Participant promptly. Any Option granted but not exercised by the end of an Offering will automatically lapse and be cancelled. The Administrator may take all actions necessary to alter the method of Option exercise and the exchange and transmittal of proceeds with respect to Participants resident in the PRC not having permanent residence in a country other than the PRC in order to comply with applicable PRC foreign exchange and tax regulations, and any other applicable PRC laws and regulations.
        10.    Issuance of Certificates.    Certificates representing Shares purchased under the Plan may be issued only in the name of the employee, in the name of the employee and another person of legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, or in the name of a broker authorized by the employee to be his, her or their, nominee for such purpose.
        11.    Definitions.    
        The term "ADSs" means American depositary shares. Each ADS represents 13 Ordinary Shares.
        The term "Change in Control" means (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation pursuant to which the holders of the Company's outstanding voting power and outstanding Shares immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power and outstanding Shares or other equity interests of the resulting or successor entity (or its ultimate parent, if applicable) immediately upon completion of such transaction, (iii) the sale of all of the Shares of the Company to an unrelated person, entity or group thereof acting in concert, or (iv) any other transaction in which the owners of the Company's outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company or any successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction other than as a result of the acquisition of securities directly from the Company.
        The term "Compensation" means the amount of base pay (including overtime and commissions, to the extent determined by the Administrator), prior to salary reduction pursuant to Sections 125, 132(f) or 401(k) of the Code, but excluding incentive or bonus awards, allowances and reimbursements for expenses such as relocation allowances or travel expenses, income or gains on the exercise of Company share options, and similar items.
        The term "Designated Subsidiary" means any present or future Subsidiary (as defined below) that has been designated by the Board to participate in the Plan. The Board may so designate any Subsidiary, or revoke any such designation, at any time and from time to time, either before or after the Plan is approved by the shareholders. The current list of Designated Subsidiaries is attached hereto as Appendix A.
        The term "Fair Market Value of the Shares" on any given date means the fair market value of the Shares determined in good faith by the Administrator; provided, however, that if the ADSs are admitted to quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"), NASDAQ Global Market or another national securities exchange, the determination shall be made by reference to the closing price on such date. If there is no closing price for such date, the determination shall be made by reference to the last date preceding such date for which there is a closing price.
        The term "Ordinary Shares" means the ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share, of the Company.
        The term "Parent" means a "parent corporation" with respect to the Company, as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code.
        The term "Participant" means an individual who is eligible as determined in Section 3 and who has complied with the provisions of Section 4.
        The term "Shares" means the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the context so requires.
        The term "Subsidiary" means a "subsidiary corporation" with respect to the Company, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.
        12.    Rights on Termination of Employment.    If a Participant's employment terminates for any reason before the Exercise Date for any Offering, no payroll deduction will be taken from any pay due and owing to the Participant and the balance in the Participant's account will be paid to such Participant or, in the case of such Participant's death, to his or her designated beneficiary as if such Participant had withdrawn from the Plan under Section 7. An employee will be deemed to have terminated employment, for this purpose, if the corporation that employs him or her, having been a Designated Subsidiary, ceases to be a Subsidiary, or if the employee is transferred to any corporation other than the Company or a Designated Subsidiary. An employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment for this purpose, if the employee is on an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise provides in writing.
        13.    Special Rules; Non-U.S. Employees.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrator may adopt special rules applicable to the employees of a particular Designated Subsidiary, whenever the Administrator determines that such rules are necessary or appropriate for the implementation of the Plan in a jurisdiction where such Designated Subsidiary has employees; provided that such rules are consistent with the requirements of Section 423(b) of the Code. Any special rules established pursuant to this Section 13 shall, to the extent possible, result in the employees subject to such rules having substantially the same rights as other Participants in the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Plan, employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary who are citizens or residents of a non-United States jurisdiction (without regard to whether they are also citizens or resident aliens (within the meaning of Section 7701(b)(1)(A) of the Code)) may be excluded from eligibility under the Plan if (a) the grant of an Option under the Plan to a citizen or resident of the non-United States jurisdiction is prohibited under the laws of such jurisdiction or (b) compliance with the laws of the foreign jurisdiction would cause the Plan to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.
        14.    Optionees Not Shareholders.    Neither the granting of an Option to a Participant nor the deductions from his or her pay shall constitute such Participant a holder of the Shares covered by an Option under the Plan until such Shares have been purchased by and issued to him or her. Accordingly, Participants shall not have any voting rights, or rights to participate in any dividends or distributions (including those arising on a liquidation of the Company) declared or recommended or resolved to be paid to the shareholders on the register on a date prior to such Shares having been purchased by and issued to him or her.
        15.    Rights Not Transferable.    Rights under the Plan are not transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant.
        16.    Application of Funds.    All funds received or held by the Company under the Plan may be combined with other corporate funds and may be used for any corporate purpose.
        17.    Adjustment in Case of Changes Affecting Shares; Change in Control.    
        (a)   In the event of a subdivision of outstanding Shares, the payment of a dividend in Shares or any other change affecting the Shares, the number of Shares approved for the Plan and the share limitation set forth in Section 8 shall be equitably or proportionately adjusted to give proper effect to such event.
        (b)   In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, the Offering with respect to which such Option relates will be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date") on which such Offering Period shall end. The New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the proposed Change in Control. The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant's Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant's Option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering as provided in Section 7 hereof.
        18.    Amendment of the Plan.    The Board may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan in any respect, except that without the approval of the shareholders, no amendment shall be made increasing the number of Ordinary Shares approved for the Plan or making any other change that would require shareholder approval in order for the Plan, as amended, to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423(b) of the Code.
        19.    Insufficient Shares.    If the total number of Shares that would otherwise be purchased on any Exercise Date plus the number of Shares purchased under previous Offerings under the Plan exceeds the maximum number of Shares issuable under the Plan, the Shares then available shall be apportioned among Participants in proportion to the amount of payroll deductions accumulated on behalf of each Participant that would otherwise be used to purchase Shares on such Exercise Date.
        20.    Termination of the Plan.    The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board. Upon termination of the Plan, all amounts in the accounts of Participants shall be promptly refunded.
        21.    Application of Hong Kong Listing Rules.  Solely for the purposes of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), to the extent that the Plan is deemed to be an option plan for the purposes of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, the number of Shares purchased by a Participant pursuant to Section 8 (the “Purchased Shares”) shall be deemed to comprise of (i) first, such number of Shares determined by dividing the Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the Exercise Date by the higher of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Offering Date and (B) the average Fair Market Value of the Shares on the five business days immediately preceding the Offering Date (the “Deemed Option Shares”), and (ii) the number of Shares determined by deducting the Deemed Option Shares from the Purchased Shares, which shall be deemed to be a share award by the Company.
        22.    Governmental Regulations.    The Company's obligation to sell and deliver Shares under the Plan is subject to obtaining all governmental approvals required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of such Shares. In the event that the Plan is terminated while any Option remains outstanding and unexercised, then any such Options shall lapse and be cancelled.
        23.    Participants' Compliance with Laws.    Participants shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to their participation in the Plan.
        24.    Governing Law.    This Plan and all Options and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands, applied without regard to conflict of law principles. In relation to any proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Plan, the Company and the Participants irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands courts.
        25.    Issuance of Shares.    Shares may be issued upon exercise of an Option from authorized but unissued Shares, from Shares held in the treasury of the Company, or from any other proper source.
        26.    Tax Withholding.    Participation in the Plan is subject to any minimum required tax and/or social security withholding on income of the Participant in connection with the Plan. Each Participant agrees, by entering the Plan, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct any such taxes and/or social security from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, including Shares issuable under the Plan.
        27.    Notification Upon Sale of Shares.    Each Participant who is or may become subject to U.S. income tax agrees, by entering the Plan, to give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares purchased under the Plan where such disposition occurs within two years after the date of grant of the Option pursuant to which such Shares were purchased or within one year after the date such Shares were purchased.
        28.    Effective Date and Approval of Shareholders.    The Plan shall take effect on the later of the date it is adopted by the Board and the date it is approved by the holders of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present (such date, the "Effective Date") and shall remain in effect for ten years from the Effective Date unless terminated earlier by the Board in accordance with Section 28.

ARCOSA, INC.

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN

The Arcosa, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors of Arcosa, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to be effective as of December 6, 2018 (the “Effective Date”).  

ARTICLE 1.
ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE

1.1    The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has determined that it is appropriate to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management to their assigned duties without distraction under circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below).  Should a Change in Control occur, in addition to their regular duties, Employees (as defined below) may be called upon to assist in the assessment of any third-party or internal proposals, advise the Board as to whether such proposals would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, participate in successfully completing such transactions and take such other actions as the Board might determine appropriate.

1.2    This Plan has been established for the purpose of assuring that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Employees who are Participants (as defined below) under this Plan, and the availability of their advice and counsel as to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or occurrence of a Change in Control, and to induce such Participants to remain in the employ of the Company through the provision of certain protections in the event of a qualifying Change in Control.  The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing severance benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees under Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).  This Plan document shall serve as both the plan document and summary plan description for the Plan. 

1.3    The Plan is intended to replace and supersede the “Change in Control Agreements” previously entered into by certain Participants with the Company (or its predecessor, Trinity Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation) (each such agreement, a “CIC Agreement”).  By accepting participation in the Plan, each Participant who previously entered into a CIC Agreement understands, acknowledges, and agrees that such CIC Agreement is terminated upon such Participant’s participation in the Plan, and that such Participant’s benefits upon a Qualifying Termination (as defined below) shall be determined solely under the Plan.

ARTICLE 5.
BENEFITS UPON A QUALIFYING TERMINATION 
		
	1
	

1.1    Compensation and Benefits Upon a Qualifying Termination.  Subject to Section 5.2 below, a Participant shall be entitled to the compensation provided in Section 5.4 and the benefits in Sections 5.5 and 5.6 hereof upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination, provided that the Participant executes and returns the Release (as set forth in Section 5.7) and continues to comply with Article 6 hereof.  The provisions of this Article 5 will not apply if the Participant’s Separation from Service is the result of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Disability, the Participant’s termination by the Company for Cause or the Participant’s resignation for any reason other than for Good Reason, or if such Separation from Service occurs more than two (2) years following the effective date of a Change in Control.  

1.2    Separation from Service Prior to a Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.1, if a Participant incurs a Separation from Service by the Company other than for Cause or Disability prior to a Change in Control, and it is reasonably demonstrated that such Separation from Service (x) was at the request of a third-party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, or (y) otherwise arose in connection with a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Plan, such Separation from Service shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following a Change in Control.  In addition, if a Participant incurs a Separation from Service by the Company other than for Cause or Disability within the ninety (90) days prior to a Change in Control, such Separation from Service shall conclusively be deemed to have occurred following a Change in Control.  However, the provisions of this Article 5 will not apply if such Participant voluntarily incurred a Separation from Service, whether or not for Good Reason, prior to a Change in Control (i.e, a Participant may terminate for Good Reason only after the effective date of a Change in Control of the Company).

1.3    Notice of Termination.  A Participant’s Separation from Service by the Company for Cause or Disability, or by a Participant for Good Reason, shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to such Participant or the Company, as applicable.  For purposes of this Plan, no such purported termination by the Company or such Participant shall be effective without such Notice of Termination.

1.4    Severance Compensation upon a Qualifying Termination.  A Participant shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits from the Company upon a Qualifying Termination of such Participant, subject to the conditions set forth herein:  

9

(a)Except as otherwise provided by Section 12.8 below, the Company shall pay to such Participant, in a lump sum payment in cash, on or before the eighth (8th) day following the date the Participant returns the Release, an amount equal to:

(i)    (A) such Participant’s Severance Multiple, multiplied by (B) the sum of (1) such Participant’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination, and (2) the target annual incentive bonus (under all Company bonus plans for which such Participant is eligible) in effect for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs or, if higher, in effect for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs; plus

(ii)    the Participant’s annual incentive bonus in effect for the fiscal year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, calculated at target performance, and pro-rated based on the number of days employed in the performance period (under all Company bonus plans for which such Participant is eligible).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the time period for the execution and return of the Release (including any revocation period) begins in one taxable year and ends in a second taxable year, the payments provided by this Section 5.4(a) shall not be made until the later of (x) the first business day in the second (2nd) taxable year or (y) the eighth (8th) day following the date the Participant returns the Release. 

(b)Except as otherwise provided by Section 12.8 below, for a period of twenty-four (24) months subsequent to such Participant’s Date of Termination, the Company shall at its expense continue on behalf of the Participant and his or her dependents and beneficiaries, all medical, dental, vision, health, and life insurance benefits, which were being provided to the Participant at the time of the Participant’s Date of Termination,  as such benefits may be amended from time to time.  The benefits provided in this Section 5.4(b) shall be no less favorable to the Participant, in terms of amounts and deductibles and costs to the Participant, than the coverage in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control (or, if more favorable to the Participant, immediately prior to the Notice of Termination).  The Company’s obligation hereunder to provide a benefit shall terminate if the Participant obtains comparable coverage under a subsequent employer’s benefit plan.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, benefits will not be comparable during any waiting period for eligibility, for such benefits or during any period during which there is a preexisting condition limitation on such benefits.  In the event that the Participant’s participation in any such coverage is barred under the general terms and provisions of the plans and programs under which such coverage is provided, or any such coverage is discontinued or the benefits thereunder are materially reduced, the Company shall provide or arrange to provide the Participant with benefits substantially similar to those which the Participant was entitled to receive under such coverage immediately prior to the Notice of Termination.  At the end of the period of coverage set forth above, the Participant shall have the option to have assigned to the Participant at no cost to the Participant and with no apportionment of prepaid premiums, any assignable insurance owned by the Company and relating specifically to the Participant, and the Participant shall be entitled to all health and similar benefits that are or 

10

would have been made available to the Participant under law (including continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985).  To the extent any benefits provided under this Section 5.4(b) are otherwise taxable to the Participant, such benefits shall be provided as separate monthly in-kind payments of those benefits, and, to the extent those benefits are subject to and not otherwise exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the provision of the in-kind benefits during one calendar year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided in any other calendar year.

(c)Except as otherwise provided by Section 12.8 below, the Participant shall receive, at the Company’s expense, executive level outplacement services at a customary and reasonable cost (up to a maximum of $15,000) during the two (2) year period following the Date of Termination, using a reputable provider selected by the Participant with the Company’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)The payments under this Section 5.4 shall be subject to withholding of federal, state and local income, FICA and similar taxes, if required by law.  

1.5    Acceleration of Vesting and Extension of Exercise Rights Upon a Qualifying Termination for Equity Compensation Granted on or After the Effective Date.

(a)Subject to Section 5.5(b) below, with respect to awards of equity-type compensation granted on or after the Effective Date, subject to any provisions concerning acceleration of vesting in any applicable plan or agreement relating to such equity-type compensation that may be outstanding between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination, all units, stock options, incentive stock options, performance shares, performance awards, career shares, bridge shares, restricted shares, and stock appreciation rights then held by or for the benefit the Participant shall immediately become one hundred percent (100%) vested and exercisable.

(b)With respect to awards of equity-type compensation granted on or after the Effective Date, subject to any provisions concerning extension of exercise rights in any applicable plan or agreement relating to such equity-type rights or compensation that may be outstanding between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination, the Participant’s right to exercise any previously unexercised options or other equity-type rights shall not terminate until the latest date on which the option or other right granted under such agreement would expire under the terms of such agreement but for the Participant’s Separation from Service; with respect to any incentive stock option held by the Participant, if not exercised within three (3) months after such Participant’s Date of Termination, such options shall immediately convert to non-qualified stock options.  

1.6    Acceleration of Vesting of Retirement and Deferred Compensation Benefits Upon a Qualifying Termination.  In addition to any provisions concerning acceleration of vesting in any applicable plan or agreement relating to retirement or deferred compensation-type benefits that may be outstanding between the Participant and the Company (including, without limitation, the 

11

Company’s Profit Sharing Plan and Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan), and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any such plan or agreement, upon a Qualifying Termination, all accounts, interests, rights, and benefits of the Participant in any such plan or agreement shall immediately become one hundred percent (100%) vested; however, such acceleration shall not apply to the Company’s Pension Plan for Salaried Employees.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any acceleration of vesting pursuant to this Section 5.6, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A the Code (to prevent an impermissible payment or acceleration of nonqualified deferred compensation), change the time or form of payment of a benefit under any plan or program that is subject to Section 409A of the Code.

1.7    Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Participant shall not be eligible to receive any payment or benefit provided for in Section 5.4,  Section 5.5, or Section 5.6,  unless the Participant shall have executed a general release of all claims against the Company and its Affiliates on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination (or such longer period required by applicable law), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Release”), effective as of the Participant’s Date of Termination or a date subsequent thereto and shall not have revoked the Release.  If the Participant has not properly executed the Release and returned it to the Company within the time period provided in the immediately preceding sentence or the Participant revokes the Release prior to the date the Release becomes fully effective and irrevocable, such Participant shall not be entitled at any time to any payment or benefit provided for in Section 5.4, Section 5.5, or Section 5.6.

1.8    No Obligation to Mitigate Damages; No Effect on Other Contracts.  No Participant shall be required to mitigate damages, or the amount of any payment provided for under this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Plan be reduced by any compensation earned by the Participant as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.  The provisions of this Plan, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Participant’s existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time, under any other agreement, contract, plan or arrangement with the Company.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

		
	1
	

(a)During the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Company shall grant the Participant otherwise prohibited access to the Company’s Confidential Information.  Throughout the Participant’s employment with the Company and thereafter: (x) the Participant shall hold all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, take all reasonable precautions to prevent its inadvertent disclosure to any unauthorized person, and follow all policies of the Company protecting the Confidential Information; and (y) the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, utilize, disclose or make available to any other person or entity, any of the Confidential Information, other than in the proper performance of the Participant’s duties.

Nothing in this Plan prohibits the Participant from reporting possible violations of U.S. federal or state law or regulations to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of U.S. federal or state law or regulation, or participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by any governmental or law enforcement agency or entity.  The Participant does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and the Participant is not required to notify the Company that the Participant has made such reports or disclosures.  

(c)This Plan also does not prohibit the disclosure of a trade secret (as that term is defined under applicable law) that: (i) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, where such disclosure is made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  If the Participant files a lawsuit for reporting a suspected violation of the law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret in the court proceeding if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.

1.1    Non-Competition.  In consideration for (a) a Participant’s participation in this Plan; (b) the Company’s promise to provide Confidential Information to the Participant, (c) the substantial economic investment made by the Company in the Confidential Information and the goodwill of the Company, (d) the Company’s employment of the Participant and (e) the compensation and other benefits provided by the Company to the Participant, to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and the business goodwill of the Company, the Participant agrees to the following restrictive covenants and the covenants set forth in Sections 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5.  For a twelve (12) month period (the “Restricted Period”) subsequent to the Participant’s Date of Termination, the Participant agrees he or she will not, directly or indirectly, absent the express, written consent of the CFO or the Chief Legal Officer of the Company, or either of their respective designees, become or serve as, directly or indirectly, a director, officer, employee, owner, partner, advisor, agent, or consultant with, or engage in, any business that manufactures, provides or sells infrastructure products, which includes but is not limited to, construction materials and equipment, transportation products, energy equipment, and any other products and services provided by the Company or its affiliates during the Participant’s employment (“Competing Business”), in any state, and other similar geographic territory, in which the Company or any of its affiliates operate as of the Date of Termination and for which Participant performed services, had responsibility or received Confidential Information (“Restricted Territory”).  Further, for a twelve (12) month period after the Participant’s Date of Termination, the Participant agrees not to serve as a consulting or testifying expert for any third party in any legal proceedings (including arbitration or mediation) or threatened legal proceedings involving the Company, unless called to do so by the Company or an Affiliate.  

13

The Participant agrees to notify the CFO in writing, with a copy of such notice to the Chief Legal Officer of the Company, in the event the Participant accepts employment of any nature with any person, business, or entity during the Restricted Period.

1.2    Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, other than in connection with the Participant’s duties for the Company, the Participant shall not, and shall not use any Confidential Information to, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, manager, agent, employee, consultant, officer, director, stockholder, partner, investor or lender or in any other capacity, and whether personally or through other persons, solicit business from, interfere with, or induce to curtail or cancel any business or contracts with the Company, or attempt to solicit business with, interfere with, or induce to curtail or cancel any business or contracts with the Company, or do business with any actual or prospective customer or client of the Company with whom the Company did business or who the Company solicited within the preceding two (2) years, and who or which: (a) the Participant contacted, called on, serviced or did business with during the Participant’s employment with the Company; (b) the Participant learned of as a result of the Participant’s employment with the Company; or (c) about whom the Participant received Confidential Information.  This restriction applies only to business which is in the scope of services or products provided by the Company.

1.3    Non-Recruitment.  During the Restricted Period, other than in connection with the Participant’s duties for the Company, the Participant shall not, and shall not use any Confidential Information to, on behalf of the Participant or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit, induce, recruit, engage, go into business with, or attempt to hire, solicit, induce, recruit, engage, go into business with, or encourage to leave or otherwise cease his/her employment with the Company, any individual who is an Employee or independent contractor of the Company or who was an Employee or independent contractor of the Company within the twelve (12) month period prior to the Participant’s Date of Termination.

1.4    Non-Disparagement.  The Participant agrees that the Company’s goodwill and reputation are assets of great value to the Company which have been obtained and maintained through great costs, time and effort.  Therefore, during the Participant’s employment and after the Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason, the Participant shall not in any way disparage, libel or defame the Company, its business or business practices, its products or services, or its stockholders, managers, officers, directors, Employees, investors or Affiliates.  Nothing in this Section 6.5 is intended to interfere with the Participant’s right to engage in the conduct set forth in Section 6.1(b) or (c). 

1.5    Remedies.  By participating in this Plan, the Participant acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the restrictions and covenants contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 are fair and reasonable in light of (a) the nature and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Company’s business; (b) the Participant’s level of control over and contact with the business in the Restricted Territory; and (c) the amount of compensation and Confidential Information that the Participant is receiving in connection with the Participant’s employment with the Company.  If the Participant violates any of the restrictions contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5, the Restricted Period shall be suspended and shall not run in favor of the Participant until such time that the Participant cures the violation to the satisfaction of the Company and the period of time in which the Participant is in breach shall be added to the Restricted Period applicable to 

14

such covenant(s).  Further, by participating in this Plan, the Participant acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5, in view of the nature of the Company’s businesses, are reasonable and necessary to protect their legitimate business interests, business goodwill and reputation, and that any violation of these restrictions would result in irreparable injury and continuing damage to the Company.  Accordingly, by participating in this Plan, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant, in the event of the Participant’s breach or threatened breach of the provisions in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief restraining the Participant from the commission of such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of establishing irreparable harm or the posting of a bond, and to recover from the Participant damages incurred by the Company as a result of the breach, as well as the Company’s attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses related to such breach or threatened breach.  In addition, in the event the Participant violates any of the restrictions contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5, all payments under Section 5.4 and the benefits under Sections 5.5 and 5.6 shall immediately cease, no additional payments will be due to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and any equity awards or benefits that vested in accordance with Section 5.5 or 5.6 shall be forfeited, and, to the extent the Participant has previously received payments pursuant to the Plan, upon written demand by the Company, the Participant must immediately pay the Company the full amount of such prior payments.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of money damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.  The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on the Plan or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the restrictive covenants contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5, or preclude injunctive relief.

ARTICLE 7.
EFFECT OF SECTION 280G AND LIMIT ON GOLDEN PARACHUTE PAYMENTS

		
	2
	Payments.  In the event that any severance and other benefits provided to or for the benefit of the Participant or his or her legal representatives and dependents pursuant to this Plan and any other agreement, benefit, plan, or policy of the Company (this Plan and such other agreements, benefits, plans, and policies collectively being referred to herein as the “Change in Control Arrangements”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code (such severance and other benefits being referred to herein as the “Payments”), the Company will provide the Participant with a computation of (a) the maximum amount of Payments due to the Participant under the Change in Control Arrangements that could be made without the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (said maximum amount being referred to as the “Capped Amount”); (b) the value of all Payments that could be made pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control Arrangements (all said payments, distributions and benefits being referred to as the “Uncapped Payments”); (c) the dollar amount of excise tax (if any) which the Participant would become obligated to pay pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code as a result of receipt of the Uncapped Payments (the “Excise Tax Amount”); and (d) the net value of the Uncapped Payments after reduction by (i) the Excise Tax Amount, (ii) the estimated income taxes payable by the Participant on the difference between the Uncapped Payments and the Capped Amount, assuming that the Participant is paying the highest marginal tax rate for 

15

state, local and federal income taxes, and (iii) the estimated hospital insurance taxes payable by the Participant on the difference between the Uncapped Payments and the Capped Amount based on the hospital insurance tax rate under Section 3101(b)(1) of the Code and the additional tax for income in excess of $200,000 under Section 3101(b)(2) of the Code (the “Net Uncapped Amount”).  If the Capped Amount is greater than the Net Uncapped Amount, the Participant shall be entitled to receive or commence to receive Payments equal to the Capped Amount; or if the Net Uncapped Amount is greater than the Capped Amount, the Participant shall be entitled to receive or commence to receive Payments equal to the Uncapped Payments.  If the Participant receives the Uncapped Payments, then the Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of all income and excise taxes due from the Participant and attributable to such Uncapped Payments, with no right of additional payment from the Company as reimbursement for any taxes.  If the Participant receives the Capped Amount, he or she shall be entitled to select which Payments shall be paid and which shall be forfeited.

2.1    Determination by Accountant.  Any determination required under this Article 7 shall be made in writing by independent public accountants selected by the Company (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Participant and the Company for all purposes.  For purposes of making the calculations required by this Article 7, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.  The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Article 7.  The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Article 7.

2.2    Company Obligation.  If the computations and valuations required to be provided by the Company to the Participant pursuant to this Article 7 are on audit challenged by the Internal Revenue Service as having been performed in a manner inconsistent with the requirements of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code and as a result of such audit or determination, (a) the amount of cash and the benefits provided for in Article 7 remaining to Participant after completion of such audit or determination is less than (b) the amount of cash and the benefits which were paid or provided to Participant on the basis of the calculations provided for in Article 7 (the difference between (a) and (b) being referred to as the “Short Fall Amount”), then the Participant shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (an “Indemnification Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by the Participant of all taxes (including additional excise taxes under said Section 4999 of the Code and any interest, and penalties imposed with respect to any taxes) imposed upon the Indemnification Payment and all reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees incurred by the Participant in connection with such audit or determination, the Participant retains an amount of the Indemnification Payment equal to the Short Fall Amount.  The Company shall pay the Indemnification Payment to the Participant in a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days of the completion of such audit or determination.

The Committee, in its discretion, shall (a) interpret or construe the Plan, and resolve ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions, (b) prescribe, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations, as necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan, and prescribe the use of such forms as it deems necessary or appropriate for the efficient administration of this Plan, (c) select Employees for participation in the Plan in accordance with Article 3, and (d) make such other determinations or certifications and take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, deciding the eligibility of any person to participate in this Plan and all questions on appeal concerning this Plan.

The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, the Company’s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of this Plan.  

3.2    Delegation.  The Committee may delegate to officers of the Company, pursuant to a written delegation, the authority to perform specified functions under the Plan.  Any actions taken by any officers of the Company pursuant to such written delegation of authority shall be deemed to have been taken by the Committee.

TERM AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

		
	1
	

1.1    Amendment.  The Company reserves the right, by action of the Board or the Committee, to amend the Plan in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on a prospective basis.  The foregoing sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, for a period of two (2) years and one (1) day after the date of a Change in Control, neither the Board nor the Committee may amend this Plan in a manner that is detrimental to the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s written consent.  

ARTICLE 10.
LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION; FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

		
	2
	No Liability; Indemnification.  No member of the Board or the Committee, nor any officer or Employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board and the Committee, each officer of the Company, and each Employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination, or interpretation to the fullest extent provided by law.  Except to the extent required by any unwaiveable requirement under 

17

applicable law, no member of the Board or the Committee (and no Subsidiary) shall have any duties or liabilities, including without limitation any fiduciary duties, to any Participant (or any Person claiming by and through any Participant) as a result of this Plan, or any Claim arising hereunder and, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each Participant (as consideration for receiving and accepting participation in the Plan) irrevocably waives and releases any right or opportunity such Participant might have to assert (or participate or cooperate in) any Claim against any member of the Board or the Committee and any Subsidiary arising out of this Plan.  The termination of any such civil or criminal action or proceeding or the disposition of any such claim or demand, by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that any such member of the Board or Committee did not act (1) in good faith and (2) for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in accordance with the intent of this Plan.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to supersede or conflict with any agreement between a member of the Board and the Company regarding the Company’s obligations to indemnify such member from and against certain liabilities arising from the performance of the member’s duties.  Any such agreement shall govern any inconsistencies with this Section 10.1.

2.1    Financial Provisions.  All benefits payable under this Plan shall be payable and provided for solely from the general assets of the Company in accordance with this Plan, at the time such benefits are payable, unless otherwise determined by the Company.  The Company shall not be required to, but may in its discretion, establish any special or separate fund or make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any benefits under this Plan.  The expenses of establishment and administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Company.  Any expenses paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.2 and indemnification under Section 10.1 shall be subject to reimbursement by Subsidiaries of the Company of their proportionate shares of such expenses and indemnification, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

18

ARTICLE 11.
CLAIMS PROCEDURES

		
	3
	Benefit Claims.  Any Participant or his or her authorized representative (collectively, the “Claimant”) must file a claim for a benefit to which he or she believes that he or she is entitled.    All claims must be in writing and delivered to the Plan Administrator by postage-prepaid certified mail.  Within ninety (90) days after receipt of a claim, the Plan Administrator shall send the claimant by certified mail, postage prepaid, notice of the granting or denying, in whole or in part, of the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim.  If such extension is necessary, the Plan Administrator will give the Claimant a written notice to this effect prior to the expiration of the initial ninety (90) day period.  In no event shall such extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days from the end of the initial ninety (90) day period.  The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render the benefit determination.  The Plan Administrator shall have full discretion to deny or grant a claim in whole or in part.  If notice of the denial of a claim is not furnished, the claim shall be deemed denied and the Claimant shall be permitted to exercise his or her right to review as discussed below.

3.1    Denials.  If the Plan Administrator denies a claim for benefits in whole or in part, then the Plan Administrator shall provide the Claimant with written notice setting forth: (a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (b) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material is necessary; and (d) a description of this Plan’s claims review procedure and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following a denial of the claim on review.

3.2    Appeal.  If a Claimant receives written notification of the denial in whole or in part of his or her claim, or if a Claimant is not otherwise eligible for benefits under this Plan, within sixty (60) days of his or her receipt of claim denial or the date a Claimant becomes aware that he or she is not eligible for benefits under this Plan, if a Claimant disagrees with such action, the Claimant must file a written request with the Plan Administrator that it conduct a full and fair review of the denial of the claim for benefits.  In connection with any request for a review of the denial of a claim for benefits, a Claimant shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits.  The Plan Administrator shall provide a Claimant, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to his or her claim for benefits.  A document, record, or other information shall be considered “relevant” to a Claimant’s claim for benefits if that document, record or other information: (a) was relied upon in making the benefit determination; (b) was submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such document, record or other information was relied upon in making the benefit determination; or (c) demonstrates compliance with the administrative process and safeguards required by ERISA in making the benefit determination.  The review of a denial shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the 

19

Claimant, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

3.3    Review of Appeal.  Upon receipt of the request for review, the Plan Administrator shall review the claim and shall deliver to a Claimant a written decision on the claim for benefits within sixty (60) days after the receipt of his or her request for review, except that if there are special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing, if necessary) that require an extension of time for processing, the sixty (60) day period shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) days and a Claimant will be given written notice of the extension prior to the expiration of the initial sixty (60) day period.  In no event shall such extension exceed a period of sixty (60) days from the end of the initial sixty (60) day period.  The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render the determination on review.  If notice of the denial of a claim on review is not furnished, the claim shall be deemed denied and a Claimant shall be permitted to exercise a Claimant’s right to review as discussed below.

3.4    Subsequent Denial.  If the Plan Administrator denies a Claimant’s claim for benefits on review, in whole or in part, then the Plan Administrator shall provide a Claimant with written notice setting forth: (a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (b) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) a statement that a Claimant are entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge reasonable access to, and copies of all records and other information relevant to a Claimant’s claim for benefits; and (d) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan Administrator and a Claimant’s right to obtain information about such procedures, and a statement of a Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.  

ARTICLE 12.
MISCELLANEOUS
		
	4
	

4.1    No Limit on the Company’s Authority.  Prior to a Change in Control, nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to qualify, limit or alter in any manner the Company’s sole and complete authority and discretion to establish, regulate, determine or modify at any time, the terms and conditions of employment, including, but not limited to, levels of employment, hours of work, the extent of hiring and employment termination, when and where work shall be done, or any other matter related to the conduct of its business or the manner in which its business is to be maintained or carried on, in the same manner and to the same extent as if this Plan were not in existence.

4.2    Successor to the Company.  

(a)The Company will 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 by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Participant, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Plan 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. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or 

20

assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 12.2 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Plan by operation of law.

(b)This Plan (and any Participation Agreement) shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If the Participant should die while any amounts are still payable to the Participant hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to the Participant’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such devisee, legatee or other designee, to executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate.

4.3    No Right to Continued Service.  Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any right to any payment whatsoever, except to the extent of the benefits provided for by this Plan.  Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Company expressly reserves the right prior to a Change in Control to dismiss any Participant at any time and for any reason without liability for the effect which such dismissal might have upon him or her as a Participant of the Plan.

4.4    Subsidiaries.  In this Plan, there are numerous references to the Participant’s employment by and duties with the Company, payment of benefits and compensation by the Company, and termination of employment with the Company.  The Participant may be employed, currently or at some time in the future, by a Subsidiary of the Company.  Any transfer of a Participant’s employment from the Company to a Subsidiary or from one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary will not constitute a termination of employment with the Company for any reason hereunder unless otherwise specifically provided herein.  In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, “termination of employment with the Company” shall mean termination of employment with the Company and all of its Subsidiaries, and “termination of employment by Company” shall mean termination of employment by the entity which actually employs the Participant.  Other references to employment by the Company, duties with the Company, and salary and benefits shall include employment, duties, salary, and benefits with respect to the entity which actually employs the Participant.  However, with respect to the definition of Change in Control of the Company, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, references to the Company shall mean only the Company, and the obligations under Sections 4 and 5 herein shall be obligations of the Company.

4.5    Governing Law.  To the extent not preempted by ERISA, this Plan shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (excluding any conflict of laws, rule or principle of Texas law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this Plan to the laws of another state).  A Participant’s sole remedy for any Claim shall be against the Company, and no Participant shall have any claim or right of any nature against any Subsidiary or any stockholder or existing or former director, officer or Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.  The individuals and entities described above in this Section 12.5 (other than the Company) shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Plan for purposes of enforcing the terms of this Section 12.5.

21

4.6    Validity.  In the event any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity of such provision shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included herein.

4.7    Notices.  For purposes of this Plan, notices and all other communications provided for in the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, as follows:

(a)If to the Company:

Arcosa, Inc.
2525 N. Stemmons Freeway
Dallas, Texas 75207
Attention: Chief Legal Officer

(b)If to the Participant, to the address set forth on the books and records of the Company (as updated by the Participant from time to time).  

4.8    Section 409A.  

(a)This Plan is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payments and benefits set forth herein shall either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  In no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Plan to the extent such payments constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or elsewhere to the contrary, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Plan providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code upon or following a termination of the Participant’s employment unless such termination is also a Separation from Service and, for purposes of any such provision of this Plan, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean a Separation from Service.  Each payment under this Plan to a Participant (including any installment payments) shall be deemed a separate payment.

(b)To the extent (i) any payment or payments to which a Participant becomes entitled under this Plan, or any agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with the Participant’s Separation from Service with the Company constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) the Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a Specified Employee, then such payment or payments shall not be made or commence until the earliest of (A) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Participant’s Date of Termination; or (B) the date of the Participant’s death following such Separation from Service.  Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during 

22

that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Section 12.8 shall be paid to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary in one lump sum. 

(c)The Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Participant is relying solely on his or her tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 13.
ERISA RIGHTS STATEMENT

As a Participant in this Plan, the Participant (for purposes of Article 13, “you” or “your” as applicable) is entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA.  ERISA provides that all Participants shall be entitled to:  

Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits  

Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing this Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by this plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.  

Obtain, upon written request to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer, copies of documents governing the operation of this Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and, to the extent applicable, copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary plan description.  The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.  

Receive a summary of this Plan’s annual financial report, to the extent applicable.  The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.  

Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries  

In addition to creating rights for plan participants ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan.  The people who operate your plan, called “fiduciaries” of this Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries.  No one, including your employer, your union, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.  

Enforce Your Rights  

23

If your claim for a benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.  

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights.  For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from this Plan and do not receive them within thirty (30) days, you may file suit in a Federal court.  In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the administrator.  If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, and you disagree with that denial, you must file an appeal of that denial in accordance with the claims procedures described in Article 11 above.  After your appeal is denied in accordance with the claims procedures, you may file suit in a state or Federal court.  In addition, if you disagree with this Plan’s decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order or a medical child support order, you may file suit in Federal court.  If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse this Plan’s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court.  The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees.  If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees.  If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.  

Assistance with Your Questions  

If you have any questions about your plan, you should contact the Company’s Chief Legal Officer.  If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Company’s Chief Legal Officer, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210.  You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
