VOCERA COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
2016 EQUITY INDUCEMENT PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Vocera Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) 2016 Equity Inducement Plan (the “Plan”) shall have the same meanings in this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, including the Appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix” and, collectively, the “Agreement”).
Participant has been granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions of the Plan, the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) and this Agreement.
1.Settlement.  Settlement of RSUs shall be made within the 30 days following the applicable date of vesting under the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice.  Settlement of RSUs shall be in Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or determined by the Committee in its discretion.
2.    No Stockholder Rights.  Unless and until such time as Shares are issued in settlement of vested RSUs, Participant shall have no ownership of the Shares underlying the RSUs and shall have no right to dividends or to vote such Shares.
3.    Dividend Equivalents.  Dividends, if any (whether in cash or Shares), shall not be credited to Participant.
4.    No Transfer.  The RSUs and any interest therein shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
5.    Termination.
(a)    If Participant’s service is Terminated for any reason, all unvested RSUs shall be forfeited to the Company forthwith, and all rights of Participant to such RSUs shall immediately terminate.  
(b)    For purposes of the RSUs, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, Participant’s status as a service provider will be considered Terminated as of the date Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for the Termination and whether or not the Termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of the employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or engaged or the terms of Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any) and, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, Participant’s right to vest in the RSUs, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or engaged or the terms of Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any.  
(c)    The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the RSUs (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
6.    Section 409A.  The RSUs are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”).  However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Agreement, if at any time the Committee determines that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan or the Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive 

1

effect), or take any other actions, as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
7.    Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)    Regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Parent or Subsidiary to which Participant provides service (the “Service Recipient”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount (if any) withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient.  Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including but not limited to the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs and the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such vesting; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former Service Recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, Participant will pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to fulfill all obligations for Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items by any of the following or a combination thereof:
(i)    withholding from wages or other cash compensation payable to Participant by the Company, the Service Recipient or any other Parent or Subsidiary;

(ii)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);

(iii)    withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs (in which case Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items); and

 (iv)    any other method acceptable to the Company and permitted under applicable laws.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable rates, including maximum withholding rates, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares.

(c)    The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8.    Acknowledgement.  The Company and Participant agree that the RSUs are granted under and governed by the Notice, this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan.  Participant (i) acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Plan prospectus, (ii) represents that Participant has carefully read and is familiar with their provisions, and (iii) hereby accepts the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan and the Notice.

9.    Nature of Grant.  In accepting the RSUs, Participant acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be modified, amended, altered or discontinued by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)    the grant of the RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted in the past;
(c)    all decisions with respect to future RSUs or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;
(d)    Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)    the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f)    the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purpose including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, Termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(g)    to the extent applicable and unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, services Participant may provide as a director of a Parent or Subsidiary;
(h)    the grant of the RSUs and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary and will not interfere with the ability of the Company or the Service Recipient to terminate Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any);
(i)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from Termination of Participant’s status as a service provider (regardless of the reason for the Termination and whether or not the Termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or engaged or the terms of Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any);
(j)    the future value of the Shares underlying the RSUs is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; and
(k)    if Participant is a service provider outside the United States, (i) the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and (ii) neither the Company nor any Parent or Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs, or the value of any amount due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
10.    No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  Participant understands and agrees that Participant should consult with Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the RSUs.

3

11.    Data Privacy.  Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Service Recipient, the Company and any other Parent or Subsidiary for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
Participant understands that the Company and the Service Recipient may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, passport, social insurance number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Participant understands that Data may be transferred to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc., its affiliates or successors, or such other stock plan service provider or other third party as may be selected by the Company in the future, to assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, presently or in the future.  Participant understands that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country.  Participant understands that, if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative.  Participant authorizes the Company and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer  Data, in electronic or other form, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan.  Participant understands that, if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Participant’s local human resources representative.  Further, Participant understands that Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke Participant’s consent, Participant’s employment status or service with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company may not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units to Participant or administer or maintain such Restricted Stock Units. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact Participant’s local human resources representative.
12.    Entire Agreement; Modification and Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement (including the Appendix), the Plan and the Notice constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior discussions between them.  Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the purchase of the Shares hereunder are superseded.  No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement.  The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.
13.    Compliance with Laws and Regulations.  The issuance of Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable state, federal and foreign laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer.

4

14.    Governing Law and Venue.  This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.  For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Santa Clara Country, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

16.    Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
17.    Foreign Asset/Account, Exchange Control, and Tax Reporting.  Depending on Participant’s country, Participant may be subject to foreign asset/account, exchange control and/or tax reporting requirements as a result of the vesting of the RSUs, the acquisition, holding and/or transfer of Shares or cash resulting from participation in the Plan and/or the opening and maintaining of a brokerage or bank account in connection with the Plan.  Participant may be required to report such assets, accounts, account balances and values, and/or related transactions to the applicable authorities in his or her  country.  Participant acknowledges that he or she is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable foreign asset/account, exchange control and tax reporting requirements.  Participant further understands that he or she should consult Participant’s personal legal advisor on these matters.
18.    Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws.  Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares under the Plan during such times when Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company.  Participant acknowledges that he or she is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and understands that he or she should consult Participant’s personal legal advisor on these matters.
19.    Appendix.  Notwithstanding any provisions in this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the RSUs and the Shares underlying or acquired upon settlement of the RSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any appendix to this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, including the Appendix attached hereto.  Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement. 
20.    Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs and any Shares underlying or acquired upon settlement of the RSUs, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
21.    Severability.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith.  In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from 

5

this Agreement, (ii) the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded, and (iii) the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.  

By Participant’s signature and the signature of the Company’s representative on the Notice, Participant and the Company agree that the RSUs are granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement.  Participant has reviewed the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement, and fully understands all provisions of the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement.  Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan, the Notice or the Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, as applicable.

Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional (or, if so indicated, different) terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to Participant if Participant resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein.

This Appendix also includes information regarding certain issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan.  The information is based on securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2016.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of a particular result.  Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to Participant’s individual situation.

Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country (or if Participant is considered as such for local law purposes) other than the one in which Participant is currently residing and/or working, or Participant transfers to another country after being granted the RSUs, the information contained herein may not be applicable in the same manner.

of the Plan.  Participant further authorizes the Company, any Parent or Subsidiary, and any stock plan service provider that may be selected by the Company to assist with the Plan to disclose and discuss the Plan with their respective advisors.  Participant further authorizes the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary to record such information and to keep such information in Participant’s employee file.

Notifications

Securities Law Information.  Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside Canada through facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.  The Shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “VCRA.”

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  Foreign property, including Shares and other rights to receive Shares (e.g., RSUs), of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident employee must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement), if the total cost of Participant’s foreign assets exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year.  The RSUs must be reported, generally at nil cost, if the C$100,000 threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property held by Participant.  When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares, ordinarily equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if Participant owns Shares of the Company, the ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares.  Participant should consult with a personal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

Settlement.  The following provisions supplement Section 1 of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, including Section 9.3 of the Plan, the RSUs will be settled in Shares only, not cash.  This provision is without prejudice to the application of Section 7 of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.  
Responsibility for Taxes.  The following provisions supplement Section 7 of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement:

If payment or withholding of the income tax is due in connection with the RSUs and is not made within ninety days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the ITEPA 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by Participant to the Service Recipient, effective on the Due Date.  Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company and/or the Service Recipient may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), Participant will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax due as described above.  In the event that Participant is a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by Participant by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable.  Participant is responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Service Recipient (as applicable) for the value 

10

of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Service Recipient may recover at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.

Joint Election.  As a condition of participation in the Plan, Participant agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs that may be payable by the Company or the Service Recipient (or any successor to the Company or the Service Recipient) in connection with the RSUs and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer NICs”).  Without prejudice to the foregoing, Participant agrees to execute a joint election with the Company and/or the Service Recipient (the “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or elections required by the Company or the Service Recipient in respect of the Employer NICs liability.

Section 1.01  Purpose.  The
purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and certain related corporations with an opportunity to share in the
ownership of the Company by providing them with a convenient means for regular and systematic purchases of Common Stock and, thus,
to develop a stronger incentive to work for the continued success of the Company.

 

Section 1.02  Rules of Interpretation.  It
is intended that the Plan be an “employee stock purchase plan” as defined in Section 423(b) of the Code and Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder.  Accordingly, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent

Company in which shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger have substantially the same proportionate ownership

will continue to be eligible to participate in the Plan so long as he or she remains a Regular Employee.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

  

Section 2.02  Election to Participate.  An
eligible Regular Employee may elect to participate in the Plan for a given Purchase Period by filing with the Company, in advance
of that Purchase Period and in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, a
form provided by the Company for such purpose (which authorizes regular payroll deductions from Current Compensation that continue
until the employee withdraws from the Plan or ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan) or pursuant to such other procedures
established by the Committee from time to time.

 

Section 2.03  Limits on Stock
Purchase.  No employee shall be granted any right to purchase Common Stock hereunder if such employee, immediately
after such a right to purchase is granted, would own, directly or indirectly, within the meaning of Section 423(b)(3) and Section
424(d) of the Code, Common Stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all the classes of the capital
stock of the Company or of all Affiliates.

 

Section 2.04  Voluntary Participation.  Participation
in the Plan on the part of a Participant is voluntary and such participation is not a condition of employment nor does participation
in the Plan entitle a Participant to be retained as an employee.

 

ARTICLE III.  PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS
AND STOCK PURCHASE ACCOUNT

 

Section 3.01  Deduction from
Pay.  The form described in Section 2.02 of the Plan will permit a Participant to elect payroll deductions of any
multiple of $1 but not less than $10 or more than $2,000 per month of such Participant’s Current Compensation during such
Purchase Period, subject to such other limitations as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose.  A Participant
may cease making payroll deductions at any time, subject to such limitations as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose.  In
the event that during a Purchase Period the entire credit balance in a Participant’s Stock Purchase Account exceeds the product
of (a) 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the first business day of that Purchase Period and (b) 2,000 shares,
then payroll deductions for such Participant shall automatically cease, and shall resume on the first pay period of the next Purchase
Period.

 

Section 3.02  Credit to Account.  Payroll
deductions will be credited to the Participant’s Stock Purchase Account on each applicable payday.

 

Section 3.03  Interest.  No
interest will be paid on payroll deductions or on any other amount credited to, or on deposit in, a Participant’s Stock Purchase
Account.

remain part of the general assets of the Company or the Participating Affiliate (as the case may be).

 

Section 3.05  No Additional Contributions.  A
Participant may not make any payment into the Stock Purchase Account other than the payroll deductions made pursuant to the Plan.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

  

ARTICLE IV.  RIGHT TO PURCHASE
SHARES

 

Section 4.01  Number of Shares.  Each
Participant will have the right to purchase on the last business day of the Purchase Period all, but not less than all, of the
number of whole and fractional shares, computed to three decimal places, of Common Stock that can be purchased at the price specified
in Section 4.02 of the Plan with the entire credit balance in the Participant’s Stock Purchase Account, subject to the limitations
that (a) no more than 2,000 shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Plan by any one Participant for a given Purchase
Period, and (b) in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, no more than $25,000 in Fair Market Value (determined at the
beginning of each Purchase Period) of Common Stock and other stock may be purchased under the Plan and all other employee stock
purchase plans (if any) of the Company and the Affiliates by any one Participant for any calendar year.  If the purchases
for all Participants for any Purchase Period would otherwise cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be sold under
the Plan to exceed the number specified in Section 10.04 of the Plan, each Participant shall be allocated a pro rata portion of
the Common Stock to be sold for such Purchase Period.

 

Section 4.02  Purchase Price.  The
purchase price for any Purchase Period shall be that price as announced by the Committee prior to the first business day of that
Purchase Period, which price may, in the discretion of the Committee, be a price which is not fixed or determinable as of the first
business day of that Purchase Period; provided, however, that in no event shall the purchase price for any Purchase Period be less
than the lesser of (a) 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the first business day of that Purchase Period or (b)
85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the last business day of that Purchase Period, in each case rounded up to the
next higher full cent.

 

ARTICLE V.  EXERCISE OF RIGHT

 

Section 5.01  Purchase of Stock.  On
the last business day of a Purchase Period, the entire credit balance in each Participant’s Stock Purchase Account will be
used to purchase the number of whole shares and fractional shares, computed to three decimal places, of Common Stock purchasable
with such amount (subject to the limitations of Section 4.01 of the Plan), unless the Participant has filed with the Company, in
advance of that date and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, a form provided
by the Company which requests the distribution of the entire credit balance in cash (or pursuant to such other procedures established
by the Committee from time to time).

 

Section 5.02  Notice of Acceleration
Date.  The Company shall use its best efforts to notify each Participant in writing at least ten days prior to any
Acceleration Date that the then current Purchase Period will end on such Acceleration Date.

  

    	 	4	 

     

    

  

ARTICLE VI.  WITHDRAWAL FROM
PLAN; SALE OF STOCK

 

Section 6.01  Voluntary Withdrawal.  A
Participant may, in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, withdraw from
the Plan and cease making payroll deductions by filing with the Company a form provided for this purpose (or pursuant to such other
procedures established by the Committee from time to time).  In such event, the entire credit balance in the Participant’s
Stock Purchase Account will be paid to the Participant in cash within 30 days.  A Participant who withdraws from the
Plan will not be eligible to reenter the Plan until the beginning of the next Purchase Period following the date of such withdrawal.

 

Section 6.02  Death.  Subject
to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, upon the death of a Participant, no further amounts
shall be credited to the Participant’s Stock Purchase Account.  Thereafter, on the last business day of the Purchase
Period during which such Participant’s death occurred and in accordance with Section 5.01 of the Plan, the entire credit
balance in such Participant’s Stock Purchase Account will be used to purchase Common Stock, unless such Participant’s
estate has filed with the Company, in advance of that day and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole
discretion may impose, a form provided by the Company which elects to have the entire credit balance in such Participant’s
Stock Account distributed in cash within 30 days after the end of that Purchase Period or at such earlier time as the Committee
in its sole discretion may decide (or pursuant to such other procedures established by the Committee from time to time).  Unless
determined otherwise by the Committee in its sole discretion, Participant may not designate any beneficiaries who, upon death,
are to receive the Common Stock or the amount that otherwise would have been distributed or paid to the Participant’s estate.

 

Section 6.03  Termination of
Employment.  Subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, upon a Participant’s
normal or early retirement with the consent of the Company under any pension or retirement plan of the Company or Participating
Affiliate (“Retirement”), no further amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Stock Purchase Account.  Thereafter,
on the last business day of the Purchase Period during which such Participant’s Retirement occurred and in accordance with
Section 5.01 of the Plan, the entire credit balance in such Participant’s Stock Purchase Account will be used to purchase
Common Stock, unless such Participant has filed with the Company, in advance of that day and subject to such terms and conditions
as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, a form provided by the Company which elects to receive the entire credit balance
in such Participant’s Stock Purchase Account in cash within 30 days after the end of that Purchase Period (or pursuant to
such other procedures established by the Committee from time to time), provided that such Participant shall have no right to purchase
Common Stock in the event that the last day of such a Purchase Period occurs more than three months following the termination of
such Participant’s employment with the Company or Participating Affiliate by reason of such a Retirement.  In the
event the Participant ceases to be a Regular Employee due to termination of employment with the Company or a Participating Affiliate
or for any other reason other than death or Retirement, participation in the Plan will cease on the date the Participant ceases
to be a Regular Employee.  In such event, the entire credit balance in such Participant’s Stock Purchase Account
will be paid to the Participant in cash within 30 days.  Also in such event, and in the event of Retirement, any shares
of Common Stock in a Participant’s Stock Purchase Account that were purchased through payroll deductions must remain in such
Participant’s Stock Purchase Account until the two-year holding period set forth in Section 7.03 has been satisfied with
respect to all such shares, at which time such Participant must elect either to sell or to transfer to a DRS account all shares
in the Stock Purchase Account, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose.  For
purposes of this Section 6.03, a transfer of employment to any Participating Affiliate or to the Company, or a leave of absence
which has been approved by the Committee, will not be deemed a termination of employment as a Regular Employee.

Section 7.01  Nontransferable
Right to Purchase.  The right to purchase Common Stock hereunder may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated
(whether by operation of law or otherwise), except as provided in Section 6.02 of the Plan, and will not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition or levy
of attachment or similar process upon the right to purchase will be null and void and without effect.

 

Section 7.02  Nontransferable
Account.  Except as provided in Section 6.02 of the Plan, the amounts credited to a Stock Purchase Account may not
be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any way, and any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or
other disposition of such amounts will be null and void and without effect.

 

Section 7.03  Nontransferable
Shares.  Except as the Committee shall otherwise permit, prior to the second anniversary of the beginning of any
Purchase Period, the Common Stock purchased at the end of such Purchase Period by a Participant pursuant to Section 5.01 of the
Plan may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, and any other attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of such share
or shares will be null and void and without effect.

ISSUANCE AND DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT

 

Section 8.01 Issuance of Purchased Shares.  Promptly
after the last day of each Purchase Period and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may
impose, the Company will cause the Common Stock then purchased pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Plan to be issued for the benefit
of the Participant and held in the Plan pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Plan.

 

Section 8.02  Completion of Issuance.  A

Common Stock issued under Section 8.01 of the Plan will be held in the Plan in the name of the Participant or jointly in the name
of the Participant and another person, as the Participant may direct on a form provided by the Company (or pursuant to such other
procedures established by the Committee from time to time), until such time as stock certificates or DRS advices for such shares
of Common Stock are delivered to or for the benefit of the Participant pursuant to Section 8.05 of the Plan.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

  

Section 8.04  Automatic Dividend
Reinvestment.  Prior to the delivery of stock certificates or DRS advices to or for the benefit of the Participant
under Section 8.05 of the Plan, any and all cash dividends paid on full and fractional shares of Common Stock issued under either
Section 8.01 of the Plan or this Section 8.04 shall be reinvested to acquire either new issue Common Stock or shares of Common
Stock purchased on the open market, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Purchases of Common Stock
under this Section 8.04 will be (a) with respect to shares newly issued by the Company, invested on the dividend payment date,
or, if that date is not a trading day, the immediately preceding trading day, or (b) with respect to shares purchased on the open
market, normally purchased on the open market within ten business days of the dividend payment date, depending upon market conditions.  The
price per share of the Common Stock issued under this Section 8.04 shall be (x) with respect to shares newly issued by the Company,
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the applicable investment date, or (y) with respect to shares purchased on the open
market, the weighted average price per share at which the Common Stock is actually purchased on the open market for the relevant
period on behalf of all participants in the Plan.  All shares of Common Stock acquired under this Section 8.04 will be
held in the Plan in the same name as the Common Stock upon which the cash dividends were paid.

 

Section 8.05  Delivery.  At
any time following the conclusion of the nontransferability period set forth in Section 7.03 of the Plan and subject to such terms
and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, by filing with the Company a form provided by the Company for
such purpose (or pursuant to such other procedures as may be established by the Committee from time to time), the Participant may
elect to have the Company cause to be delivered to or for the benefit of the Participant a stock certificate or DRS advice for
the number of whole shares and cash for any fractional share representing the Common Stock purchased pursuant to Section 5.01 of
the Plan.  Subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion may impose, a Participant may
at any time elect to have the Company cause to be delivered to or for the benefit of the Participant a stock certificate or DRS
advice for the number of whole shares and cash for any fractional share representing the Common Stock purchased pursuant to Section
8.04 of the Plan upon the reinvestment of dividends by filing with the Company a form provided by the Company for such purpose
(or pursuant to such other procedures as may be established by the Committee from time to time).  Such elections will
be processed as soon as practicable after receipt of the applicable notice.  A stock certificate or DRS advice for whole
shares normally will be mailed to the Participant within five business days after receipt of the election notice; provided, however,
that if the notice is received between a dividend record date and a dividend payment date, a stock certificate or DRS advice will
generally not be sent out until the declared dividends have been reinvested pursuant to Section 8.04 of the Plan.  Any
fractional share will be sold and a check for the fractional share sent to the Participant promptly thereafter.
