(w) Retirement means the Termination of Employment of the Participant, other than by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability and other than by the Company for Justifiable Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, after the Participant has attained age 65 and completed at least 5 years of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

3. Eligibility. The Committee shall designate those employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who shall be eligible to become Participants in the Plan and the date during the Plan Period on which they shall become Participants. The initial Participants shall become Participants on the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(d) hereof, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no portion of any Award shall become vested pursuant to Section 6 hereof, unless and until a Participant has completed at least 1 year of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

4. Amount of Benefit. The benefit payable to a Participant pursuant to an Award under this Plan shall be equal to the vested portion, if any, of an amount equal to the product of (i) the Participant’s Target Cash Value multiplied by (ii) 4 (or, in the case of an individual that becomes a Participant after the Effective Date, an amount equal to 4 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of calendar days from the Participant’s Effective Date of Participation to the end of the Plan Period and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in Plan Period) (the “Projected Benefit Amount”).

5. Form of Payment.

(a) Grant of Awards. Upon a Participant’s Effective Date of Participation, the Committee shall grant to the Participant the following:

(b) Additional Grants for Promotions. If a Participant is promoted during the Plan Period and entitled to a higher long-term incentive program percentage as a result of such promotion, then the Committee shall grant the Participant an additional Award determined as if the Participant had become a Participant on the Grant Date of the additional Award, with the amount of the additional Award being equal to the excess, if any, of (i) Participant’s Projected Benefit Amount determined as if the Participant had become a Participant on the Grant Date of the additional Award, over (ii) the Participant’s original Projected Benefit Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal to the total number of calendar days from the Grant Date of the additional Award to the last day of the Plan Period and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days from the Participant’s Effective Date of Participation to the last day of the Plan Period. In the event that a Participant is promoted and entitled to a higher long-term incentive program percentage as a result of such promotion more than once during the Plan Period, each additional Award shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, under the principles set forth above in this Section 5(b).

(c) Forms of Award Agreements.

(d) Payment of Cash. The portion of any Projected Benefit Amount that vests and is payable in Cash shall be payable as soon as practicable after the date on which that portion of the benefit vests and, in the case of the Cash attributable to the Performance-Based Vesting Award, the Committee certifies in writing that the Applicable Performance Target has been met (but in either case, in no event more than 2 1/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the portion of the Projected Benefit Amount vests).

(e) If Insufficient Shares Available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that, at the time an Award is granted, the Company does not have a sufficient number of Shares remaining available for Awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan to issue such Award in the form of Restricted Stock and/or Options, or the Shares are available for Awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan subject to shareholder approval, and such approval is not obtained and the grant of Restricted Stock and/or Options therefore are cancelled, then such Award shall be settled in Cash to the extent of such insufficiency.

6. Vesting of Benefit.

(a) Vesting of Time-Vesting Benefit Amount:

(i) 50% of the Projected Benefit Amount (and thus 50% of the Restricted Stock, Options and rights to receive Cash potentially payable with respect to an Award) shall vest according to the following vesting schedule (and is sometimes referred to as the “Time-Vesting Benefit Amount”), provided that the Participant does not have a Termination of Employment on or before the applicable vesting date:

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant has a Termination of Employment after FYE 2013, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Participant’s employment agreement, if any:

(A) If such Termination of Employment is by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, then:

(1) If such Termination of Employment is after FYE 2013 and on or before FYE 2014, the Participant shall become vested upon such Termination of Employment in the Pro-Rata Vesting Percentage of the Time-Vesting Benefit Amount, and

(2) If such Termination of Employment occurs after FYE 2014, then the Participant shall become fully vested in the Time-Vesting Benefit Amount upon such Termination of Employment;

(B) If such Termination of Employment is by reason of the Participant’s Retirement after FYE 2013, then the Participant shall become vested in the Pro-Rata Vesting Percentage of the portion of the Time-Vesting Benefit Amount that would have vested in the year of such Termination of Employment if the Participant had continued to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries until the last day of that year (in addition to any portion of the Time-Vesting Benefit Amount that previously vested); and

(C) If such Termination of Employment is by reason of a termination by the Company without Justifiable Cause (and other than by reason of the Participant’s Disability) or is by the Participant for Good Reason, then:

(1) if such Termination of Employment occurs after FYE 2013 and on or before FYE 2014, then the Participant shall become vested in the Pro-Rata Vesting Percentage of the Time-Vesting Benefit Amount upon such Termination of Employment; and

(2) if such Termination of Employment occurs after FYE 2014, then the Participant shall become fully vested in the Time-Vesting Benefit Amount upon such Termination of Employment.

(iii) In the event that, prior to a Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Applicable Performance Target is met during the Plan Period, any portion of the Time-Vesting Benefit Amount that had not previously vested shall become immediately vested.

(iv) In the event that a Participant has a Termination of Employment after FYE 2014 and before FYE 2015, and such Termination of Employment was for any reason other than (A) by the Company without Justifiable Cause, (B) by the Participant for Good Reason, or (C) by reason of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, then in addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company in law or in equity, and/or pursuant to the provisions of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any, the Participant also shall be required to pay to the Company, immediately upon written demand by the Committee or the Board, any Gains resulting from the grant, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award.

(b) Vesting of Performance-Based Vesting Amount.

(i) 50% of the Projected Benefit Amount (and thus 50% of the Restricted Stock, Options and rights to receive Cash potentially payable with respect to an Award) shall vest in the event that, prior to the Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Applicable Performance Target is met during the Plan Period (such amount is sometimes referred to herein as the “Performance-Vesting Benefit Amount”).

(ii) If the Applicable Performance Target is not met on or before FYE 2015, but (x) the Company has Sales for the fiscal year of the Company ending on FYE 2016 that are $510,000,000, (y) the Company’s Operating Margin for the fiscal year of the Company ending on FYE 2016 is not less than 8.0%, and (z) the Participant has not had a Termination of Employment prior to FYE 2016, then 50% of the Performance-Vesting Benefit Amount shall vest on FYE 2016.

(iii) If the Applicable Performance Target is not met on or before FYE 2015, but (x) the Company has Sales for the fiscal year of the Company ending on FYE 2016 that are greater than $510,000,000, (y) the Company’s Operating Margin for the fiscal year of the Company ending on FYE 2016 is not less than 8.0%, and (z) the Participant has not had a Termination of Employment prior to FYE 2016, then the percentage of the Performance-Vesting Benefit Amount that vests on FYE 2016 shall be the percentage that is between 50% and 100% determined by straight-line interpolation based upon the relationship of the Company’s Sales for the fiscal year of the Company ending on FYE 2016 to the $510,000,000 minimum and $600,000,000 maximum Sales targets. For example, if the Sales for FYE 2016 were $580,000,000, the percentage would be 88.85% (50% + 38.85% [(x) $70,000,000 ($580,000,000 - $510,000,000) divided by (y) $90,000,000 ($600,000,000 - $510,000,000), multiplied by (z) 50%].

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant has a Termination of Employment after FYE 2013, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Participant’s employment agreement, if any:

(A) If such Termination of Employment is by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, then,

(1) If such Termination of Employment is after FYE 2013 and on or before FYE 2014, then the Participant shall become vested in the Pro-Rata Vesting Percentage of the Performance-Based Vesting Amount as though the Applicable Performance Target is met; and

(2) If such Termination of Employment is after FYE 2014, and on or before FYE 2016, then the Participant shall become fully vested (x) in the Performance-Based Vesting Amount if and when the Applicable Performance Target is met, or (y) if neither Applicable Performance Target is met, on FYE 2016, in the portion, if any, of the Performance-Based Vesting Amount that is earned and otherwise would have vested pursuant to Sections 6(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof if such Termination of Employment had not occurred.

(B) If such Termination of Employment is after FYE 2013 and on or before FYE 2016 and is by reason of the Participant’s Retirement, then the Participant shall become vested in the Pro-Rata Vesting Percentage of (x) the Performance-Based Vesting Amount if and when the Applicable Performance Target is met, or (y) if neither Applicable Performance Target is met, on FYE 2016, the portion, if any, of the Performance-Based Vesting Amount that is earned and otherwise would have vested pursuant to Sections 6(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof if such Termination of Employment had not occurred; and

(C) If such Termination of Employment is by reason of a termination by the Company without Justifiable Cause (and other than by reason of the Participant’s Disability) or by the Participant for Good Reason, then:

(1) If such Termination of Employment is after FYE 2013 and on or before FYE 2014, then the Participant shall become vested in the Pro-Rata Vesting Percentage of the Performance-Based Vesting Amount as though the Applicable Performance Target is met; and

(2) If such Termination of Employment occurs after FYE 2014 and on or before FYE 2016, then the Participant shall become fully vested (x) in the Performance-Based Vesting Amount if and when the Applicable Performance Target is met, or (y) if neither Applicable Performance Target is met, on FYE 2016, in the portion, if any, of the Performance-Based Vesting Amount that is earned and otherwise would have vested pursuant to Sections 6(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof if such Termination of Employment had not occurred.

(c) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(b)(iv) hereof, any portion of any Projected Benefit Amount that was not vested on the date on which the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment and that does not vest on account of the Participant’s Termination of Employment shall automatically and without any further action by the Committee immediately be forfeited and become null and void. In the event that the Participant’s Termination of Employment is by the Company for Justifiable Cause, then any

portion of the Participant’s Award that has not previously vested and been exercised (in the case of any Options), or paid (in the case of any amount payable in cash) shall automatically and without further action by the Committee immediately be forfeited and become null and void.

(d) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control and within 6 months before or 18 months after the Change in Control, the Participant is terminated by the Company without Justifiable Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, or there is a Termination of Employment because of the Participant’s death or Disability, the portion of the Participant’s Award that has not previously been vested or paid to the Participant shall immediately vest (in the case of Restricted Stock and Options) and the Cash payable as a result of such vesting shall be paid to the Participant, as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 5 business days) after the later of the Change in Control or the Participant’s Termination of Employment. Each Share of Restricted Stock that vests pursuant to this Section 6(d) shall be immediately redeemed by the Company (or its successor) for cash payable by the Company (or its successor) in an amount (the “Redemption Price Per Share”) equal to, as applicable, (x) if the Shares have not been cancelled, exchanged or converted into other securities or property as a result of the Change in Control and are publicly-traded, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment, or (y) if the Shares have been cancelled, exchanged or converted into other securities or property as a result of the Change in Control, the greater of (i) the fair market value per Share of the consideration received pursuant to the Change in Control by the holders of Shares on the date of the Change in Control and (ii) if the consideration received by the holders of Shares pursuant to the Change in Control consisted, in whole or in part, of other securities which are publicly traded, the sum of (A) the fair market value of the number of such securities received for each Share pursuant to the Change in Control on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment and (B) the fair market value of any other consideration received for each Share pursuant to the Change of Control. Each Option that vests pursuant to this Section 6(d) shall be immediately cancelled in exchange for cash payable by the Company for each Share subject to the cancelled Option equal to the amount, if any, by which the Redemption Price Per Share exceeds the exercise price per Share of the Option.

7. Administration.

(a) Authority of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have full and final authority, subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to select persons to become Participants, grant Awards, determine the amount of any Participant’s Award and all other matters relating to Awards, prescribe rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, construe and interpret the Plan and correct defects, supply omissions or reconcile inconsistencies therein, and to make all other decisions and determinations as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. In exercising any discretion granted to the Committee under the Plan or pursuant to any Award, the Committee shall not be required to follow past practices, act in a manner consistent with past practices, or treat any Participant in a manner consistent with the treatment of any other Participants. Decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons or entities, including the Company, any Subsidiary, any Affiliate or any Participant or Beneficiary.

(b) Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. The Committee may delegate to members of the Board, or officers or managers of the Company or any Subsidiary, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee shall

determine, to perform such functions, including administrative functions as the Committee may determine to the extent that such delegation will not result in the loss of an exemption under Rule 16b-3(d)(1) for Awards granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in respect of the Company and will not cause Awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) to fail to so qualify. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan.

(c) Limitation of Liability. The Committee, and each member thereof, shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee, the Company’s independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee, and any other member of the Board and any officer or employee acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee, shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

(d) No Claim for Benefits Required. Benefits due and owing to a Participant under the Plan shall be paid when due without any requirement that a claim for benefits be filed. However, any Participant who has not received the benefits to which Participant believes himself or herself entitled may file a written claim with the Committee, which shall act on the claim within thirty days. If a Participant’s employment agreement conflicts with any provision of this Plan, the language of the Plan shall govern.

(e) Payments to Beneficiary. Any vested benefits payable to any Participant that have not been paid as of the date of the Participant’s death, shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary.

8. Awards Subject to Plans. The Awards under this Plan, and the grants of Restricted Stock and Options pursuant to this Plan, are being granted pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Incentive Compensation Plan, and the Award Agreements.

9. No Acceleration of Benefits. In no event shall the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under the Plan be permitted, except to the extent that such acceleration would not violate Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other applicable guidance issued thereunder.

10. Amendment and Termination. This Plan may be amended or terminated in any respect at any time by the Committee; provided, however, that no amendment or termination of the Plan shall be effective to reduce any benefits payable to a Participant that may accrue or vest under the terms of this Plan without the Participant’s prior written consent. If and to the extent permitted without violating the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may require that the Awards of all Participants be distributed as soon as practicable after such termination. If and to the extent that the Committee does not accelerate the timing of distributions on account of the termination of the Plan pursuant to the preceding sentence, payment of any remaining benefits under the Plan shall be made at the same times and in the same manner as such distributions would have been made under the terms of the Plan, as in effect at the time the Plan is terminated.

11. Unfunded Obligation. The obligations of the Company to pay any benefits under the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured, and any payments under the Plan shall be made from the general assets of the Company. Participants’ rights under the Plan are not assignable or transferable except to the extent that such assignment or transfer is permitted under the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan.

12. Withholding. The Participants and personal representatives shall bear any and all federal, state, local or other taxes imposed on benefits under the Plan. The Company may deduct from any distributions under the Plan the amount of any taxes required to be withheld from such distribution by any federal, state, local or foreign government, and may deduct from any compensation or other amounts payable to the Participant the amount of any taxes required to be withheld with respect to any other amounts under the Plan by any federal, state, local or foreign government.

13. Applicable Law. This Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, except to the extent superseded by federal law.

14. No Right to Continued Employment. No Award shall confer upon any Participant any right to continued service with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

15. Code Section 409A.

(a) Interpretation of Plan. It is intended that the Awards granted pursuant to this Plan be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) because it is believed (i) the Awards payable in cash should qualify for the short-term deferral exception contained in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(a)(4), (ii) any Options granted pursuant to the Plan will have an exercise price that may never be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date and the other requirements for the exemption of such options under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(a)(5)(i)(A) should be met; and (iii) any Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan should be exempt as an award of restricted property pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(a)(6). The provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent.

(b) Section 409A Amendments. The Committee, in its sole discretion, and without the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary, may amend the provisions of this Plan to the extent that the Committee determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate in order for the Awards made pursuant to the Plan to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A, or if and to the extent that the Committee determines that Awards are not so exempt, to amend the Plan (and any agreements relating to any Awards) in such manner as the Committee shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

(c) No Right to Section 409A Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to any Participant or Beneficiary that the Awards made pursuant to this Plan are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Participant or Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the Participant or Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of the Plan or any Award agreement, or any amendment or any modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.

(d) Six Month Delay for Specified Employees. If a Participant is a “specified employee,” as that term is defined for purposes of Section 409A, then no payment or benefit that is payable on account of the Participant’s “separation from service,” as that term is defined for purposes of Section 409A, shall be made before the date that is six months after the Participant’s “separation from service” (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death) if and to the extent that such payment or benefit constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (or may be nonqualified deferred compensation) under Section 409A and such deferral is required to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Any payment or benefit delayed by reason of the prior sentence shall be paid out or provided in a single lump sum at the end of such required delay period in order to catch up to the original payment schedule.

16. No Assignment. Neither any Participant nor any Beneficiary nor any other person shall have any right to assign the rights to receive any payments or benefits hereunder, in whole or in part, which payments and benefits are non-assignable and non-transferable, whether voluntarily, or involuntarily.
