                (                ). 

4.4 Adjustments in Authorized Shares. The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any manner the right
or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the capital stock of the Company or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any
issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the Shares) or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its
assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of the acts or proceedings enumerated above. 

If there shall be any change in the Shares of the Company or the capitalization of the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to
stockholders of the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under this Plan, shall adjust, in such manner as it deems equitable and that complies with Section 409A
of the Code, as applicable, the number and kind of Shares that may be granted as Awards under this Plan, the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, the exercise or other price applicable to outstanding Awards, the Awards
Limitations (to the extent that such adjustment would not cause any Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail to so qualify), the Fair Market Value of the Shares and other value determinations and other terms applicable to
outstanding Awards; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or
liquidation, the Committee shall be authorized, in its sole discretion, to: (a) grant or assume Awards by means of substitution of new Awards, as appropriate, for previously granted Awards or to assume previously granted Awards as part of such
adjustment; (b) make provision, prior to the transaction, for the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, Awards and the termination of Options that remain unexercised at the time of such
transaction; (c) provide for the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of Options and the cancellation thereof in exchange for such payment as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines is a reasonable approximation of the value
thereof; (d) cancel any Awards and direct the Company to deliver to the Participants who are the holders of such Awards cash in an amount that the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion is equal to the fair market value of such Awards
as of the date of such event, which, in the case of any Option or Appreciation Right, shall be the amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share as of such date over the per-share exercise price for such Option or Base Price for
such Appreciation Right (for 

 
the avoidance of doubt, if such exercise price or Base Price is less than such Fair Market Value, the Option or Appreciation Right may be canceled for no consideration); or (e) cancel Awards
that are Options or Appreciation Rights and give the Participants who are the holders of such Awards notice and opportunity to exercise prior to such cancellation. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event or in the event of a Change
in Control, the Committee shall provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under this Plan such alternative consideration (including cash), if any, as it, in good faith, shall determine to be equitable in the circumstances and shall
require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.

from all Officers, Directors, Employees, Consultants, and BWXT Participants, those to whom Awards (or Adjusted Awards) shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. No Officer, Director, Employee or Consultant shall have

 Options 

6.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, Options may be granted to Participants in
such number, upon such terms, at any time, and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that ISOs may be awarded only to Employees who meet the definition of “employees” under
Section 3401(c) of the Code. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee shall have discretion in determining the number of Shares subject to Options granted to each Participant. 

6.2 Option Award Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the
Option Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains (subject to the limitations set forth in Article 4 of this Plan), and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine that are not inconsistent with
the terms of this Plan. The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NQSO (provided that, in the absence of such specification, the Option shall be an NQSO). 

 6.3 Option Price. The Option Price for each grant of an Option under
this Plan shall be as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that, subject to any subsequent adjustment that may be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof, the Option Price shall be not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant (except with respect to Adjusted Awards or awards under Article 22 of this Plan). Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4 hereof, without prior stockholder approval, no
repricing of Options awarded under this Plan shall be permitted such that the terms of outstanding Options may not be amended to reduce the Option Price; further, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4 hereof, without prior stockholder
approval, Options may not be replaced or regranted through cancellation, in exchange for cash or other Awards, or if the effect of the replacement or regrant would be to reduce the Option Price of the Options or would constitute a repricing under
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (as applicable to the Company’s public reporting). 
 6.4
Duration of Options. Subject to any earlier expiration that may be effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof, each Option shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant;
provided, however, that an Option shall not be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its grant. 
 6.5
Exercise of Options. Options granted under this Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each
grant or for each Participant, and may provide that such Options be exercised early, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of a Participant; provided, however, that in the event of a Change in Control, a grant of an Option
(excluding an Option that is an Adjusted Award) may only provide for the earlier exercise of such Option where either (a) within a specified period the Participant is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause or terminates his
or her employment for good reason or (b) such Option is not assumed or converted into replacement awards in a manner described in the Award Agreement. The exercise of an Option will result in the cancellation on a share-for-share basis of any
Tandem Appreciation Right authorized under Article 7 of this Plan. 
 6.6 Payment. (a) Any Option granted
under this Article 6 shall be exercised by the delivery of a notice of exercise to the Company in the manner prescribed in the related Award Agreement, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, and
either (i) accompanied by full payment of the Option Price for the Shares issuable on such exercise or (ii) exercised in a manner that is in accordance with applicable law and the “cashless exercise” procedures (if any) approved
by the Committee involving a broker or dealer. 
 (b) The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the
Company in full: (i) in cash or by check acceptable to the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds; (ii) by tendering previously acquired Shares owned by the Participants having a value at the time of exercise equal to
the total Option Price; (iii) subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Committee, by the Company’s withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of an Option pursuant to a “net exercise” arrangement;
(iv) by a combination of such methods of payment; or (v) any other method approved by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 

(c) Subject to any governing rules or regulations, as soon as practicable after receipt of a notification of exercise and full
payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, in the Participant’s name, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Shares purchased under the Option. 

 6.7 Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee may impose
such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under this Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable U.S. federal securities laws, under the requirements of any
stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares. 

6.8 Termination of Employment, Service or Directorship. Each Option Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to
which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Participant’s employment, service or directorship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Committee, shall be included in each Award Agreement entered into with a Participant with respect to an Option Award, need not be uniform among all Options granted pursuant to this Article 6 and may reflect distinctions based on
the reasons for termination. 
 6.9 Transferability of Options.  

(a) Incentive Stock Options. No ISO granted under this Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of ERISA, or the regulations thereunder. Further, all ISOs
granted to a Participant under this Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant. 
 (b)
Nonqualified Stock Options. Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, NQSOs granted under this Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of ERISA, or the regulations thereunder. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement,
all NQSOs granted to a Participant under this Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant. 
 6.10
No Dividend Rights. Options granted under this Plan may not provide for any dividend or dividend equivalents thereon. 

6.11 Deferred Payment. To the extent permitted by law, any grant may provide for deferred payment of the Option
Price from the proceeds of sale through a bank or broker on a date satisfactory to the Company of some or all of the shares to which such exercise relates. 

6.12 Performance Goals. Any grant of Options may specify performance goals that must be achieved as a condition to the
exercise of such Options. 

 ARTICLE 7 

Appreciation Rights 

7.1 Grant of Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Committee may, from time
to time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize the granting (a) to any Optionee, of Tandem Appreciation Rights in respect of Options granted hereunder, and (b) to any Participant, of Free-Standing Appreciation
Rights. A Tandem Appreciation Right will be a right of the Optionee, exercisable by surrender of the related Option, to receive from the Company an amount determined by the Committee, which will be expressed as a percentage of the Spread (not
exceeding 100 percent) at the time of exercise. Tandem Appreciation Rights may be granted at any time prior to the exercise or termination of the related Options; provided, however, that a Tandem Appreciation Right awarded in relation
to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted concurrently with such Incentive Stock Option. A Free-Standing Appreciation Right will be a right of the Participant to receive from the Company an amount determined by the Committee, which will be
expressed as a percentage of the Spread (not exceeding 100 percent) at the time of exercise. 
 7.2 Appreciation Rights Award
Agreement. Each Appreciation Right grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Base Price (if applicable), the duration of the Appreciation Right, identify the related Options (if applicable), and such other
provisions as the Committee shall determine that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan. 
 7.3
Payment. Each grant of Appreciation Rights may specify that the amount payable on exercise of an Appreciation Right (a) will be paid by the Company in cash, Shares or any combination thereof and (b) may not exceed
a maximum specified by the Committee at the Date of Grant. 
 7.4 Waiting Period and Exercisability. Any grant of
Appreciation Rights may specify waiting periods before exercise and permissible exercise dates or periods. Furthermore, each grant may specify the period or periods of continuous service by the Participant with the Company or any Subsidiary that is
necessary before the Appreciation Rights or installments thereof will become exercisable. Moreover, any grant of Appreciation Rights may provide that such Appreciation Rights be exercised early, including in the event of the retirement, death or
disability of a Participant; provided, however, that in the event of a Change in Control, a grant of Appreciation Rights (excluding Appreciation Rights that are an Adjusted Award) may only provide for the earlier exercise of such Appreciation Rights
where either (a) within a specified period the Participant is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause or terminates his or her employment for good reason or (b) such Appreciation Rights are not assumed or converted into
replacement awards in a manner described in the Award Agreement. 
 7.5 Performance Goals. Any grant of Appreciation
Rights may specify performance goals that must be achieved as a condition of the exercise of such Appreciation Rights. 
 7.6
Termination of Employment, Service or Directorship. Each Appreciation Rights Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Appreciation Rights following termination
of the Participant’s employment, service 

 
or directorship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in each Award Agreement entered into with
a Participant with respect to an Appreciation Rights Award, need not be uniform among all Appreciation Rights granted pursuant to this Article 7 and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination. 

7.7 Tandem Appreciation Rights. Any grant of Tandem Appreciation Rights will provide that such Tandem Appreciation
Rights may be exercised only at a time when the related Option is also exercisable and at a time when the Spread is positive, and by surrender of the related Option for cancellation. Successive grants of Tandem Appreciation Rights may be made to the
same Participant regardless of whether any Tandem Appreciation Rights previously granted to the Participant remain unexercised. 
 7.8
No Dividend Rights. Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan may not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon. 

7.9 Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, Appreciation Rights granted
under this Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title
I of ERISA, or the regulations thereunder. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, all Appreciation Rights granted to a Participant under this Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such
Participant. 
 7.10 Free-Standing Appreciation Rights. These terms apply only to Free-Standing Appreciation Rights:

 (a) Base Price. Each grant will specify in respect of each Free-Standing Appreciation Right a Base Price,
which (except with respect to awards under Article 22 of this Plan) may not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4 hereof, without prior stockholder approval, no repricing of
Appreciation Rights awarded under this Plan shall be permitted such that the terms of outstanding Appreciation Rights may not be amended to reduce the Base Price; further, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4 hereof, without prior
stockholder approval, Appreciation Rights may not be replaced or regranted through cancellation, in exchange for cash or other Awards, or if the effect of the replacement or regrant would be to reduce the Base Price of the Appreciation Rights or
would constitute a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (as applicable to the Company’s public reporting). 

(b) Duration. No Free-Standing Appreciation Right granted under this Plan may be exercised more than 10
years from the Date of Grant. 

 ARTICLE 8

Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine. 
 8.2 Restricted Stock Award Agreement. Each
Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock granted or to be sold, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. 

8.3 Transferability. Except as provided in the Participant’s related Award Agreement and/or this Article 8,
the Shares of Restricted Stock granted or sold to a Participant under this Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction established by the Committee
and specified in the related Award Agreement entered into with that Participant, or upon earlier satisfaction of any other conditions, as specified by the Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the Award Agreement. During the applicable
Period of Restriction, all rights with respect to the Restricted Stock granted to a Participant under this Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant. Any attempted assignment of Restricted Stock in violation of this
Section 8.3 shall be null and void. 
 8.4 Other Restrictions. (a) The Committee may impose such other
conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Share of Restricted
Stock, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals, time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the performance goals and/or restrictions under applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws. Further, a
grant or sale of Shares of Restricted Stock may provide for earlier termination of restrictions, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of a Participant; provided, however, that in the event of a Change in Control, a grant or
sale of Shares of Restricted Stock (excluding Shares of Restricted Stock that are an Adjusted Award) may only provide for the earlier termination of restrictions where either (i) within a specified period the Participant is involuntarily
terminated for reasons other than for cause or terminates his or her employment for good reason or (ii) such Shares of Restricted Stock are not assumed or converted into replacement awards in a manner described in the Award Agreement. 

(b) Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, (i) all certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock will be held

of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares during the applicable Period of Restriction. 

8.7 Dividends. During the applicable Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock
granted or sold hereunder shall, unless the Committee otherwise determines, be credited with cash dividends paid with respect to the Shares, in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may apply any restrictions to
the dividends that it deems appropriate; provided, however, that dividends or other distributions on Shares of Restricted Stock that lapse as a result of the achievement of performance goals will be deferred until and paid contingent
upon the achievement of the applicable performance goals. 
 8.8 Termination of Employment, Service or
Directorship. Each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive unvested Shares of Restricted Stock following termination of the Participant’s employment,
service or directorship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in each Award Agreement entered into with a Participant with respect to Shares of
Restricted Stock, need not be uniform among all Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Article 8 and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination.

Incentive Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan, Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash Incentive Awards may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time, as shall
be determined by the Committee. 
 9.2 Award Agreement. Each Award of Performance Units, Performance Shares or
Cash Incentive Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Performance Period, the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares or amount of Cash Incentive Award granted, and such other provisions as the Committee
shall determine. Further, the Performance Period may be subject to earlier lapse or modification, including in the event of retirement, death or disability of a Participant; provided, however, that in the event of a Change in Control, the
Performance Period for such Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Award (excluding an award that is an Adjusted Award) may be subject to earlier lapse or modification only where either (a) within a specified period the
Participant is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause or terminates his or her employment for good reason or (b) such Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Awards are not assumed or converted into
replacement awards in a manner described in the Award Agreement; further 

 
provided, that no such adjustment will be made in the case of a Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) where
such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m) of the Code. In such event, the Award Agreement will specify the time and terms of delivery. 

9.3 Value of Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash Incentive Awards. Each Performance Unit shall have an
initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. The Committee shall set
performance goals in its discretion that, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Awards which will be paid out to the Participant. 

9.4 Earning of Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash Incentive Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan,
after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Awards shall be entitled to receive payment of the number and value of Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive

9.5 Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash Incentive Awards. Subject to the
provisions of Article 13 hereof or as otherwise determined by the Committee in the Award Agreement, payment of earned Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Awards to a Participant shall be made no later than March 15 following
the end of the calendar year in which such Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Awards vest, or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter if payment is delayed due to unforeseeable events. Subject to the terms of this
Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units or Performance Shares in the form of cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance
Units or Performance Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period. Any Shares issued or transferred to a Participant for this purpose may be granted subject to any restrictions that are deemed appropriate by the Committee. 

9.6 Termination of Employment, Service or Directorship. Each Award Agreement providing for a Performance Unit,
Performance Share or Cash Incentive Award shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive a payout of cash or Shares with respect to unvested Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Award following
termination of the Participant’s employment, service or directorship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into
with the Participant, need not be uniform among all Awards of Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Awards granted pursuant to this Article 9 and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination. 

9.7 Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s related Award Agreement, Performance
Units, Performance Shares and Cash Incentive Awards may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by 

 
the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of ERISA, or the regulations thereunder. Further, except as otherwise
provided in a Participant’s related Award Agreement, a Participant’s rights with respect to Performance Units, Performance Shares or Cash Incentive Awards granted to that Participant under this Plan shall be exercisable during the

Performance Shares shall not have voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying such units or shares. During the applicable Vesting Period, Participants holding Performance Units or Performance Shares granted hereunder shall, unless the
Committee otherwise determines, be credited with dividend equivalents, in the form of cash or additional Performance Units or Performance Shares (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), if a cash dividend is paid with respect to the
Shares. The extent to which dividend equivalents shall be credited shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Such dividend equivalents shall be subject to a Vesting Period equal to the remaining Vesting Period of the Performance
Units or Performance Shares with respect to which the dividend equivalents are paid. Dividend equivalents credited with respect to Performance Units or Performance Shares that do not vest shall be forfeited. 

ARTICLE 10 
 Restricted
Stock Units 
 10.1 Grant of RSUs. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Committee at any
time, and from time to time, may grant or sell RSUs to eligible Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine.

payment for earned RSUs, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Further, any grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units may provide for the early termination of restrictions, including in the event of
retirement, death or disability of a Participant; provided, however, that in the event of a Change of Control, a grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units (excluding Restricted Stock Units that are an Adjusted Award) may provide for the earlier
termination of restrictions only where either (a) within a specified period the Participant is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause or terminates his or her employment for good reason or (b) such Restricted Stock Units
are not assumed or converted into replacement awards in a manner described in the Award Agreement; further provided, that no award of Restricted Stock Units intended to be a Performance-Based Award will provide for such early lapse or modification
of the Restriction Period (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change in Control) to the extent such provisions would cause such award to fail to be a Performance-Based Award.

 10.3 Transferability. Except as provided in a Participant’s
related Award Agreement, RSUs granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
as defined by the Code or Title I of ERISA, or the regulations thereunder. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s related Award Agreement, a Participant’s rights with respect to an RSU Award granted to that Participant
under this Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant. Any attempted assignment of an RSU Award in violation of this Section 10.3 shall be null and void. 

10.4 Form and Timing of Delivery. If a Participant’s RSU Award Agreement provides for payment in cash,
payment equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the RSU Award, calculated as of the last day of the applicable Vesting Period, shall be made in a single lump-sum payment. If a Participant’s RSU Award Agreement provides for
payment in Shares, the Shares underlying the RSU Award shall be delivered to the Participant. Subject to the provisions of Article 13 hereof or as otherwise determined by the Committee in the Award Agreement, such payment of cash or Shares shall be
made no later than March 15 following the end of the calendar year during which the RSU Award vests, or as soon as practicable thereafter if payment is delayed due to unforeseeable events. Such delivered Shares shall be freely transferable by
the Participant. 
 10.5 Voting Rights and Dividends. During the applicable Vesting Period, Participants holding
RSUs shall not have voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying such RSUs. During the applicable Vesting Period, Participants holding RSUs granted hereunder shall, unless the Committee otherwise determines, be credited with dividend
equivalents, in the form of cash or additional RSUs (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), if a cash dividend is paid with respect to the Shares. The extent to which dividend equivalents shall be credited shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Committee. Such dividend equivalents shall be subject to a Vesting Period equal to the remaining Vesting Period of the RSUs with respect to which the dividend equivalents are paid. Dividend equivalents credited with respect to
Performance Units/Shares that do not vest shall be forfeited. 
 10.6 Termination of Employment, Service or
Directorship. Each RSU Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the applicable Participant shall have the right to receive a payout of cash or Shares with respect to unvested RSUs following termination of the
Participant’s employment, service or directorship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in each Award Agreement entered into with a Participant
with respect to RSUs, need not be uniform among all RSUs granted pursuant to this Article 10 and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination. 

ARTICLE 11 
 Other
Awards 
 11.1 Grant of Other Awards. Subject to applicable law and the limit set forth in Article 3 of this Plan,
the Committee may grant to any Participant such other awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or 

 
related to, Shares or factors that may influence the value of such shares, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable
into Shares, purchase rights for Shares, awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or specified Subsidiaries, affiliates or other business units thereof or any other factors designated by the Committee, and awards
valued by reference to the book value of the Shares or the value of securities of, or the performance of specified Subsidiaries or affiliates or other business units of the Company. The Committee will determine the terms and conditions of such
awards. Shares delivered pursuant to an award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Article 11 will be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such time, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, Shares,
other awards, notes or other property, as the Committee determines. 
 11.2 Tandem Awards. Cash awards, as an element
of, or supplement to, any other award granted under this Plan, may also be granted pursuant to this Article 11. 
 11.3 Shares
as Bonus. The Committee may grant Shares as a bonus, or may grant other awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or a Subsidiary to pay cash or deliver other property under this Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements,
subject to such terms as will be determined by the Committee in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. 
 11.4 Early
Terminations. Any grant of an award under this Article 11 may provide for the early vesting or termination of restrictions, including in the event of retirement, death or disability of a Participant; provided, however, that in the event of a Change
in Control, any grant of an award under this Article 11 (excluding an award that is an Adjusted Award) may provide for the earlier termination of restrictions on such award only where either (a) within a specified period the Participant is
involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for cause or terminates his or her employment for good reason or (b) such award granted under this Article 11 is not assumed or converted into replacement awards in a manner described in the Award
Agreement; further provided, that no award granted under this Article 11 that is intended to be a Performance-Based Award will provide for such early lapse or modification (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or
a Change in Control) to the extent such provisions would cause such award to fail to be a Performance-Based Award. In such event, the Award Agreement will specify the time and terms of delivery. 

ARTICLE 12 
 Performance
Measures 
 12.1 Performance Measures. Unless and until the Committee proposes and stockholders approve a
change in the general performance measures set forth in this Article 12, the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout and/or vesting with respect to Awards which are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the
performance measure(s) to be used for purposes of such Performance-Based Awards shall be chosen from among the following alternatives: 

(a) Cash Flow (including operating cash flow and free cash flow); 

 (b) Cash Flow Return on Capital; 

(c) Cash Flow Return on Assets; 

(d) Cash Flow Return on Equity; 

(e) Net Income; 

(f) Return on Capital; 

(g) Return on Invested Capital; 

(h) Return on Assets; 

(i) Return on Equity; 

(j) Share Price; 

(k) Earnings Per Share (basic or diluted); 

(l) Earnings Before Interest and Taxes; 

(m) Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization; 

(n) Total and Relative Shareholder Return; 

(o) Operating Income; 

(p) Return on Net Assets; 

(q) Gross or Operating Margins; 

(r) Safety; and 

(s) Economic Value Added or EVA. 

Subject to the terms of this Plan, each of these measures may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or objectives that are related
to the performance of the individual Participant or of one or more of the Subsidiaries, divisions, departments, regions, functions or other organizational units within the Company or its Subsidiaries. Each of these measures may be made relative to
the performance of other companies or subsidiaries, divisions, departments, regions, functions or other organizational units within such other companies, and may be made relative to an index or one or more of the performance objectives themselves.
Furthermore, in the case of a Performance-Based Award, each performance measure will be objectively determinable to the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code, and, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and to the extent
consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, may include or exclude specified research and development expenses, acquisition costs, operating expenses from acquired businesses or corporate transactions, and such other unusual or
[infrequent] items as defined by the Committee in its sole discretion and as identified on the Date of Grant. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an Adjusted Award, performance measures shall mean
any performance objectives defined in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 12.2 Adjustments. The Committee shall
have the sole discretion to adjust determinations of the degree of attainment of the pre-established performance goals; provided, however, that, except in connection with a Change in Control, a Performance-Based Award may not be
adjusted in a manner that would result in the Award no longer qualifying for the Performance-Based Exception. The Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward. 

12.3 Compliance with Code Section 162(m). In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws or
regulations change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing performance measures without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder
approval; provided that after such change or changes the Award continues to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that will not qualify for the
Performance-Based Exception, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. Any performance-based Awards granted to Officers or Directors that are not
intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be based on achievement of such performance measure(s) and be subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee shall
determine. 
 ARTICLE 13 

Deferrals 
 The Committee
may, in its sole discretion, permit selected Participants to elect to defer payment of some or all types of Awards, or may provide for the deferral of an Award in an Award Agreement; provided, however, that the timing of any such
election and payment of any such deferral shall be specified in the Award Agreement and shall conform to the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the regulations and rulings issued thereunder. Any deferred
payment, whether elected by a Participant or specified in an Award Agreement or by the Committee, may be forfeited if and to the extent that the applicable Award Agreement so provides. 

ARTICLE 14 
 Rights of
Employees, Directors and Consultants 
 14.1 Employment or Service. Nothing in this Plan shall interfere
with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company. 

 14.2 No Contract of Employment. Neither an Award nor any benefits
arising under this Plan shall constitute part of a Participant’s employment contract with the Company or any Subsidiary, and accordingly, subject to the provisions of Article 16 hereof, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at
any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to liability on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary for severance payments. 

14.3 Transfers Between Participating Entities. For purposes of this Plan, a transfer of a Participant’s
employment between the Company and a Subsidiary, or between Subsidiaries, shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment. Upon such a transfer, subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee may make such adjustments to outstanding Awards
as it deems appropriate to reflect the change in reporting relationships. 
 ARTICLE 15 

Change in Control 
 The
treatment of outstanding Awards upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges,
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee in accordance with the terms of this Plan and shall be described in the Award Agreements and need not be uniform among all Participants or Awards granted pursuant to this Plan. 

ARTICLE 16 
 Amendment,
Modification and Termination 
 16.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination. The Board may at any time and
from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that materially alters the terms of this Plan or is otherwise required by
applicable legal requirements. No amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall be made without the consent of such Participant. Notwithstanding
anything in this Plan to the contrary, Participant consent shall not be required for any amendment to Article 20 hereof or otherwise that is deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company to ensure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act or Section 10D of the Exchange Act, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 16.2
Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. If permitted by Section 409A of the Code and Section 162(m) of the Code and subject to Sections 4.4 and 6.3 of this Plan, the
Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4.4 hereof) affecting the
Company or the financial statements of the Company or in recognition of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate. 

 ARTICLE 17 

Withholding 
 The Company
shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of cash or Shares under this Plan, or at the time applicable law otherwise requires, an appropriate amount of cash or number of
Shares or a combination thereof for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. The Committee may permit withholding to be
satisfied by the transfer to the Company of Shares theretofore owned by the holder of the Award with respect to which withholding is required. If Shares are used to satisfy tax withholding, such Shares shall be valued at their fair market value on
the date when the tax withholding is required to be made and the value withheld shall not exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. 

ARTICLE 18 

Indemnification 
 Each
person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom the Committee has delegated authority in accordance with Article 3 hereof, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company
against and from: (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonable incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which
he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Plan, except for any such action or failure to act that constitutes willful misconduct on the part of such person or as to which any applicable statute prohibits
the Company from providing indemnification; and (b) any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is provided pursuant to clause (a) of this sentence, with the
Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment or award in any such action, suit or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the
same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws (each, as amended from time to time), as a matter of law, or otherwise. 
 ARTICLE 19 

Successors 
 All
obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the direct or indirect result of a merger, consolidation, purchase of
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or other transaction. 

 ARTICLE 20 

Clawback Provisions 
 The
ability of the Company and/or the Board to forfeit Awards granted or recover Awards paid under this Plan, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or
national securities exchanges, may be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and described in the Award Agreements and need not be uniform among all Participants or Awards granted pursuant to this Plan. 

ARTICLE 21 
 General
Provisions 
 21.1 Restrictions and Legends. No Shares or other form of payment shall be issued or
transferred with respect to any Award unless the Company shall be satisfied that such issuance or transfer will be in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws. The Committee may require each person receiving Shares pursuant
to an Award under this Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof. Any certificates evidencing Shares delivered under this Plan (to
the extent that such Shares are so evidenced) may be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any
securities exchange or transaction reporting system upon which the Shares are then listed or to which they are admitted for quotation and any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law. In addition to any other legend required by this Plan, any
certificates for such Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer of such Shares. 

21.2 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall
include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 21.3
Severability. If any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity 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. 
 21.4 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and
the issuance of Shares under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 

21.5 Uncertificated Shares. To the extent that this Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the
transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or transaction reporting system on which the Shares are listed or to which
the Shares are admitted for quotation. 

 21.6 Unfunded Plan. Insofar as this Plan provides for Awards of cash,
Shares or rights thereto, it will be unfunded. Although the Company may establish bookkeeping accounts with respect to Participants who are entitled to cash, Shares or rights thereto under this Plan, it will use any such accounts merely as a
bookkeeping convenience. Participants shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken
pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person
acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the
Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts, except as expressly set forth in this Plan. This Plan is not intended to be subject to ERISA. 

21.7 No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan or any Award.
The Committee shall determine whether cash, Awards or other property shall be delivered or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated. 

21.8 Governing Law. This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not
otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions
thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 21.9 Compliance with Code
Section 409A. (a) To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grant made hereunder comply with or be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Plan and any grants made hereunder
shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the
U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. 
 (b) Neither a Participant nor any of a
Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this Plan and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Participant or for a
Participant’s benefit under this Plan and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

(c) If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code),
(i) the Participant will be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company makes a

 
good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed
pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will
instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day of the seventh month after such separation from service. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Plan and
grants hereunder as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Participant will be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and
penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this Plan and grants hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its
affiliates will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. 

ARTICLE 22 
 Stock-Based
Awards in Substitution for Options or Awards Granted by Other Company 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary: 

(a) Awards may be granted under this Plan in substitution for or in conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of,
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other stock or stock-based awards held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary. Any
conversion, substitution or assumption will be effective as of the close of the merger or acquisition, and, to the extent applicable, will be conducted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. The awards so granted may reflect
the original terms of the awards being assumed or substituted or converted for and need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, and may account for Shares substituted for the securities covered by the original awards and the number of
shares subject to the original awards, as well as any exercise or purchase prices applicable to the original awards, adjusted to account for differences in stock prices in connection with the transaction. 

(b) In the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary merges
has shares available under a pre-existing plan previously approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or merger, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such plan (as adjusted, to the extent
appropriate, to reflect such acquisition or merger) may be used for awards made after such acquisition or merger under the Plan; provided, however, that awards using such available shares may not be made after the date awards or grants
could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan absent the acquisition or merger, and may only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to such acquisition or merger. 

 (c) Any Common Shares that are issued or transferred by, or that are subject to
any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company under Sections 22(a) or 22(b) above will not reduce the Shares available for issuance or transfer under the Plan or otherwise count against the limits contained in
Article 4 of the Plan. In addition, no Shares that are issued or transferred by, or that are subject to any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company under Sections 22(a) or 22(b) above will be added to the aggregate
plan limit contained in Article 4 of the Plan. 
 ARTICLE 23 

BWXT Awards 
 The Company
is authorized to issue Adjusted Awards to BWXT Participants in connection with the adjustment and replacement by BWXT of certain stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, deferred shares, and performance
shares previously granted by BWXT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the number of Shares to be subject to an Adjusted Award and the other terms and conditions of each Adjusted Award, including option exercise price,
as applicable, shall be determined by the Committee, all in accordance with the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement.EX-10.9

 Article
6 – Award Determination 
  

	(a)	Performance Measures and Performance Goals. 

 For each plan year, the Committee shall select performance
measures and shall establish performance goals for that plan year. Except as provided in Article 8 herein, the performance measures may be based on any combination of corporate, segment, group, subsidiary, divisional, and/or individual goals. 

For each plan year, the Committee shall establish ranges of performance goals which will correspond to various levels of Award Opportunities.
Each performance goal range shall include a level of performance at which one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Incentive Award shall be earned. In addition, each range shall include levels of performance above and below the one hundred
percent (100%) performance level. 
 After the performance goals are established, the Committee will align the achievement of the
performance goals with the Award Opportunities (as described in Article 6(b) herein), such that the level of achievement of the pre-established performance goals at the end of the plan year will determine the Final Awards. Except as

  
 3 

 
provided in Article 8 herein, the Committee shall have the authority to exercise subjective discretion in the determination of Final Awards, and the authority to delegate the ability to exercise
subjective discretion in this respect. 
  

	(b)	Award Opportunities. 

 For each plan year, the Committee shall establish, in writing, Award Opportunities
which correspond to various levels of achievement of the pre-established performance goals. The established Award Opportunities shall vary in relation to the job classification of each Participant. 

 

	(c)	Adjustment of Performance Goals and Award Opportunities. 

 Once established, performance goals normally
shall not be changed during the plan year. However, except as provided in Article 8 herein, if the Committee determines that external changes or other unanticipated business conditions have materially affected the fairness of the goals, then the
Committee may approve appropriate adjustments to the performance goals (either up or down) during the plan year as such goals apply to the Award Opportunities of specified Participants. In addition, the Committee shall have the authority to reduce
or eliminate the Final Award determinations, based upon any objective or subjective criteria it deems appropriate. 
 Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan, in the event of any change in Corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property
of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Code Section 368), or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, an adjustment shall be made in the Award Opportunities
and/or the performance measures or performance goals related to then-current performance periods, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; provided,
however, that subject to Article 8 herein, no such adjustment shall be made to a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would cause the award to no longer qualify for the exception for “qualified performance-based
compensation” under Code Section 162(m). 
  

	(d)	Final Award Determinations. 

 At the end of each plan year, Final Awards shall be computed for each
Participant as determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of Article 8 herein, Final Award amounts may vary above or below the Target Incentive Award, based on the level of achievement of the pre-established corporate, segment, group,
divisional, and/or individual performance goals. 

  
 4 

	(e)	Award Limit. 

 The Committee may establish guidelines governing the maximum Final Awards that may be
earned by Participants (either in the aggregate, by Employee class, or among individual Participants) in each plan year. The guidelines may be expressed as a percentage of goals or financial measures, or such other measures as the Committee shall
from time to time determine; provided, however, that the maximum payout with respect to a Final Award payable to any one Participant in connection with performance in any one plan year shall be three million dollars ($3,000,000). 

 

	(f)	Threshold Levels of Performance. 

 The Committee may establish minimum levels of performance goal
achievement, below which no payouts of Final Awards shall be made to any Participant. 
 Article 7 – Payment of Awards 

Each and every Final Award shall be payable in a lump sum no later than the March 15 following the end of the Plan year during which the award is earned,
or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter in the event payment is delayed due to unforeseeable events. 
 Article 8 – Qualified
Performance-Based Awards 
  

	(a)	Applicability of Article 8. 

 The provisions of this Article 8 shall apply only to Qualified
Performance-Based Awards. Qualified Performance-Based Awards include only those awards that are designated by the Committee as Qualified Performance-Based Awards. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Article 8 and the other Plan
provisions as they pertain to Qualified Performance-Based Awards, the provisions of this Article 8 shall control. 
  

	(b)	Establishment of Award Opportunities. 

 Except as provided for by the Committee at the time a Qualified
Performance Based Award is made, Qualified Performance-Based Awards shall be established as a function of the Covered Employee’s base Salary. As specified by the Committee at the time the Qualified Performance-Based Award is made, base Salary
for this purpose may be stated as a percentage of the base Salary of a Covered Employee at the time the performance measures are established, at the time the Final Award is paid or during the plan year. For each plan year, the Committee shall
establish, in writing, various levels of Final Awards which will be paid with respect to specified levels of attainment of the pre-established performance goals. 

  
 5 

	(c)	Components of Award Opportunities. 

 Each Qualified Performance-Based Award shall be based on:
(a) the Covered Employee’s Target Incentive Award; (b) the potential Final Awards corresponding to various levels of achievement of the pre-established performance goals, as established by the Committee; and (c) Company, segment,
group, subsidiary or division performance in relation to the pre-established performance goals. Performance measures which may serve as determinants of Qualified Performance-Based Awards shall be limited to Cash Flow (Operating Cash Flow and Free
Cash Flow), Cash Flow Return on Capital, Cash Flow Return on Assets, Cash Flow Return on Equity, Earnings Per Share (basic or diluted), Net Income, Operating Income, Return on Assets, Return on Capital, Return on Equity, Return on Invested Capital,
Safety, Share Price, Total and Relative Shareholder Return and Economic Value Added. At the time the performance measures are established, the Committee, in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m), may specify that such performance
measures shall be adjusted to exclude any negative impact caused by research and development expenses, acquisition costs, operating expenses from acquired businesses or corporate transactions, changes in accounting principles and such other unusual,
nonrecurring or extraordinary items specified by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have the right through discretionary downward adjustments to exclude the positive impact of the aforementioned items and occurrences. 

 

	(d)	No Adjustment of Performance Goals or Award Opportunities. 

 In the case of Qualified Performance-Based
Awards, each Covered Employee’s Final Award shall be based exclusively on the Award Opportunity levels established by the Committee at the time the Qualified Performance-Based Award is made. In addition, performance goals shall not be changed
following their establishment where such action would cause the award to no longer qualify for the exception for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), and no payout shall be made when the minimum
performance goals are not met or exceeded. The Committee, however, shall have the discretion to decrease or eliminate the amount of the Final Award otherwise payable on account of a Qualified Performance-Based Award. Notwithstanding the above, in
the event that changes in the tax law are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit greater flexibility with respect to any Qualified Performance-Based Award available under the Plan, the Committee, subject to Article 11, may make such adjustments
it deems appropriate, provided that after such adjustment the award would continue to satisfy the requirement for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). 

  
 6 

 Article 9 – Limitations 

(a) No person shall at any time have any right to a payment hereunder for any fiscal year, and no person shall have authority to enter into an agreement for
the making of an Award Opportunity or payment of a Final Award or to make any representation or guarantee with respect thereto. 
 (b) An employee receiving
an Award Opportunity shall have no rights in respect of such Award Opportunity, except the right to receive payments, subject to the conditions herein, of such Award Opportunity, which right may not be assigned or transferred except by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution. 
 (c) Neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan, nor any action taken by the Committee under the
Plan, nor any provision of the Plan shall be construed as giving to any person the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiary or Affiliated Companies. 

Article 10 – Clawback Provisions 
 (a) For any Award
Opportunity established under this Plan in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws
as a result of fraud (a “Restatement”), the Company will have the right to recover from each current or former Participant who the Board reasonably determines knowingly engaged in the fraud (the “Subject Participant”) who earned
a Final Award during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Board or the Company, as applicable, determines the Company is required to prepare the Restatement (the “Three-Year Period”) the amount of such Final Award in
excess of what would have been earned by the current or former Subject Participant under the Restatement. 
 (b) In the event a Restatement is required, the
Board, based upon a recommendation by the Committee, will (1) review each current and former Subject Participant’s Final Awards earned under this Plan during the Three-Year Period and (2) in accordance with Article 10 hereof, with
respect to each current and former Subject Participant, will take reasonable action to seek recovery of the amount of such Final Awards in excess of what would have been earned by the current or former Subject Participant under the Restatement (but
in no event more than the total amount of such Awards), as such excess amount is reasonably determined by the Board, in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. There shall be no duplication of recovery under Article 10 hereof and any of 15
U.S.C. Section 7243 (Section 304 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

 Article 11 – Amendment, Suspension, Termination, or Alteration of the Plan

rights of Participants, their spouses, children, and personal representative(s) with respect to Final Awards previously made. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Board may make any amendment to Article 10 hereof that is deemed
necessary or appropriate by the Company to ensure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Section 10D of the Exchange Act, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. 

Article 12 – Commencement of Awards 
 The
Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 shall be the first fiscal year with respect to which Award Opportunities may be made under the Plan.
