Any Shares that are used by a

Participant as full or partial payment to the Company of the purchase price relating to an Award, including in connection with the satisfaction of tax obligations relating to an Award, shall not be available for granting future Awards under the Plan. In addition, Shares covered by an Award or to which an Award relates that are (i) not purchased, (ii) forfeited, (iii) not delivered in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right that is settled by the delivery of a net number of Shares (so that the total number of Shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right will be counted and not be available for future grants) or (iv) not delivered to the Participant if an Award otherwise terminates, shall not be available for granting future Awards under the Plan.

(c) ADJUSTMENTS.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with any Disaffiliation (as defined below) of an Affiliate of the Company, the Committee shall have the authority to arrange for the assumption or replacement of Awards with new awards based on shares of the affected Affiliate or of an entity that controls, is controlled by or under common control with the affected Affiliate following the Disaffiliation.

For clarity, the Awards granted to any Director under Section 11 shall be taken into account for purposes of applying the dollar limitations in this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph, the “Grant Date Value” of an Award at the time of a grant that includes Options or Share Appreciation Rights shall be determined by the Committee in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Company would be required to determine such value for purposes of the Company’s financial and SEC reporting requirements and the “Grant Date Value” of Awards granted under Section 9, 10 or 11 shall be the aggregate grant date Fair Market Value of all Shares covered by such Awards.

Any Incentive Stock Option authorized under the Plan shall contain such provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable, but shall in all events be consistent with and contain all provisions required in order to qualify the Stock Option as an Incentive Stock Option. To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or even if so designated does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option on or subsequent to its grant date, it shall constitute a Nonqualified Stock Option.

At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the forfeiture and vesting conditions to which the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 11 shall be subject. Grantees will only be entitled to receive Shares upon the vesting of Restricted Stock Units. Upon a Change in Control, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall automatically vest and grantees shall be entitled to receive Shares for all such vested Restricted Stock Units as of such Change in Control. The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 11 shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may specify.

SECTION 12. DIRECTORS’ SHARES

(a) ELECTION GENERALLY. Each Director who is not an Employee on the last day of a calendar year may make an election (the “Annual Election”) to have payment of the annual retainer, meeting fees and committee meeting fees (collectively, the “Fees”) he or she earns during the next succeeding calendar year deferred under the Plan. Such election may be made in writing, through an interactive telephone or internet-based system or in such other manner as the Committee may prescribe.

(b) TIMING OF ELECTION.

(i) GENERAL. A Director’s Annual Election for the Fees earned during a calendar year must be made before the first day of such calendar year and within the enrollment period established by the Committee, except as provided in subsection (b)(ii).

(ii) New Directors. If an individual initially becomes a Director during a calendar year, such individual may make a prospective Annual Election within 30 days after the date on which he is elected as a Director. Such election will apply to the Director’s Fees for services performed after the effective date of the election, so that the election will apply to the quarterly retainer for the first quarter beginning after the date of the election. This subsection (b)(ii) shall only apply to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A.

(c) TERM OF ELECTION. Upon the latest of the deadlines specified in (b) above that applies to a Director, such Director’s Annual Election, or failure to elect, shall become irrevocable for the calendar year except as provided under this subsection (c). Each Director’s Annual Election for a calendar year shall remain in effect for such calendar year and all subsequent calendar years until the earlier of (i) the date the Director Separates from Service as a Director, or (ii) the effective date of the Director’s subsequent irrevocable Annual Election for amounts earned during a subsequent calendar year. The Annual Election may be cancelled in the discretion of the Committee only as permitted under Code Section 409A.

(d) AMOUNT. A Director may elect to defer his Fees in 10% increments, up to a maximum of 100 percent (or such other maximum percentage and/or amount, if any, established by the Committee from time to time).

(e) ACCOUNTS AND CREDITING OF CONTRIBUTIONS. All Fees deferred under this Section 12 shall be credited to a bookkeeping account for the Director and deemed invested in Shares on the last trading day of the calendar month in which the Fees are earned or as soon as practicable thereafter.

(f) RABBI TRUST. Each time Fees are deferred under the Plan, the Company shall deposit an equal amount in a Rabbi trust. The amount deposited in the trust shall be invested in Shares. The trustee shall retain all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto in the trust (which shall be reinvested in Shares), and shall adjust the Director’s accounts for such amounts. The Shares credited to the account of a Director shall remain subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, and the interests of the Director in his or her account under the Plan may not be anticipated, alienated, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered, attached or garnished by creditors of such Director, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assets will be set aside to fund benefits under the Plan if such setting aside would be treated as a transfer of property under Code Section 83 pursuant to Code Section 409A(b).

(g) DISTRIBUTIONS.

(i) GENERAL TIMING AND SCHEDULE OF DISTRIBUTIONS. Any portion of a Director’s account under this Section for which no election is made pursuant to subsection (ii) below shall be paid in a single sum (A) except as provided in clause (B) of this paragraph, within 60 days after the Director Separates from Service; or (B) in the case of a Director who is a specified employee (as defined in Code Section 409A) on the date of his or her Separation from Service, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, six months after the date the Director Separates from Service.

(ii) Payment Election. A Director may elect, at the time he makes an Annual Election, to have the portion of his account balance attributable to such Annual Election distributed in accordance with one of the following options (in each case, provided that, in the case of a Director who is a specified employee (as defined in Code Section 409A) on the date of his or her Separation from Service, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, no payment will be made earlier than six months after the date the Director Separates from Service):

(A) In a single sum within 60 days after the later of (1) a date selected by the Director that is on or before the Director’s 65^th birthday, and specified in the Annual Election, or (2) the date of the Director’s Separation from Service; or

(B) In substantially equal annual installments paid over a number of years (not less than 2 and not more than 20) specified in the Annual Election, beginning within 60 days after the date the Director Separates from Service.

(iii) MEDIUM OF PAYMENT. Distribution of a Director’s account under this Section shall be made in Shares; provided, the value of any fractional Shares shall be distributed in cash.

SECTION 13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

(a) AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination may be made that would cause a Participant to become subject to tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1), and, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made that:

(i) requires stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the applicable Exchange;

(ii) increases the number of Shares authorized under the Plan as specified in Section 5(a) of the Plan, except as permitted under Section 5(c) of the Plan; or

(iii) without such stockholder approval, would cause the Company to be unable, under the Code, to grant Incentive Stock Options under the Plan.

(b) AMENDMENTS TO AWARDS. The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively. Except as otherwise provided herein or in an Award Agreement, the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively, if such action would adversely affect the rights of the holder of such Award, without the consent of the Participant or holder or beneficiary thereof. The Committee may not amend any Qualified Performance-Based Award in a manner that would cause such Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption.

(c) CORRECTION OF DEFECTS, OMISSIONS AND INCONSISTENCIES. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry out the intent of the Plan.

SECTION 14. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) WITHHOLDING. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for federal income tax purposes (or the income tax laws of any other foreign jurisdiction) with respect to any Award under the Plan, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, be entitled to take such action and establish such procedures as it deems appropriate to withhold or collect all applicable payroll, withholding, income or other taxes from such Participant. In order to assist a Participant in paying all or a portion of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes to be withheld or collected upon exercise, settlement or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) an Award, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy such tax obligation by (i) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the Shares or other property otherwise to be delivered upon exercise, settlement or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company whole Shares or other property other than Shares issuable upon exercise, settlement or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes, PROVIDED that, in either case, not more than the legally required minimum withholding, rounded

up for any fraction of a Share, may be settled with Shares. Any such election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

(b) AWARDS. Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, delivered or made available electronically to the Participant and shall specify the terms and conditions thereof and any rules applicable thereto, including but not limited to the effect on such Award of the death, retirement or other termination of employment of the Participant and the effect thereon, if any, of a Change in Control of the Company.

(c) NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Individuals or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants.

(d) NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Employer. Further, the Employer expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss a Participant free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any agreement entered into with respect to an Award.

(e) NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award or otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with the Plan, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under the Plan until he or she has become the holder thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with each Award of Restricted Stock granted under Section 9, the applicable Award Agreement shall specify if and to what extent the Participant shall not be entitled to the rights of a stockholder in respect of such Award of Restricted Stock.

(f) DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. In the sole and complete discretion of the Committee, an Award granted pursuant to Sections 9, 10 and 11, may provide the Participant with dividends or dividend equivalents (payable on a current or deferred basis), and the Award Agreement shall specify if dividends or dividend equivalents are to be payable. Such dividends or dividend equivalents shall be payable at the time and pursuant to the payment schedule specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement, subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, or, if the Award Agreement does not provide a time and schedule of payment at the time of grant, any dividends or dividend equivalents shall be payable in a lump sum on the date the dividend is payable to stockholders generally.

(g) CONSTRUCTION OF THE PLAN. The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan, shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.

(h) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In order to preserve a Participant’s rights under an Award in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee in its discretion and without the consent of the Participant may, at the time an Award is made or any time thereafter, take one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time period relating to the exercise or vesting of the Award, (ii) provide for the purchase or termination of the Award for an amount of cash or other property that could have been received upon the exercise or realization of the Award had the Award been currently exercisable or payable, (iii) adjust the terms of the Award in a manner determined by the Committee to reflect the Change in Control, (iv) cause the Award to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefore, by another entity, or (v) make such other provision as the Committee may consider equitable and in the best interests of the Company. No actions may be taken under this subsection (h) that would cause the Participant to become subject to tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1).

(i) FORMS OF PAYMENT UNDER AWARDS.

(i) GENERALLY. Subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate upon the grant, exercise or settlement of an Award may be made in such medium or media as the Committee shall determine (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, promissory notes (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the acceptance of such notes does not conflict with Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), other securities, other Awards or other property or any combination thereof). In addition, such payments or transfers may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis, in each case as determined by the Committee at the time of grant in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and rules and procedures established by the Committee. The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party (in damages or otherwise) in the event that any amount or benefit under the Plan becomes subject to penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to installment or deferred payments. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, (A) for Restricted Stock Units and

any other Awards that provide nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A(a)(2), payment of the Award to a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A, upon Separation from Service, to the extent required under Code Section 409A, shall not be made before six months after the date on which the Separation from Service occurs, and (B) Restricted Stock Units and any other Awards that provide for nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A(a)(2) through (4) shall not be settled with promissory notes. All distributions under the Plan shall be made in the form of a single sum, unless otherwise specified under the terms of the Plan, Award Agreement or by the Committee at the time of grant.

(ii) Deferrals. If permitted by the Committee for a given Award, all or a portion of an Award may be deferred (and paid in a form permitted by the Committee) at the election of a Participant, PROVIDED that all such deferral elections shall comply with Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Award provides for deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A(a)(2), any cash payments provided in lieu of an Award may not change the timing of payment of such Award.

(iii) CASH PAYMENTS. Cash payments shall be payable (A) at the time and pursuant to the payment schedule specified by the Committee at the time of grant, subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, or (B) if the Committee does not provide a time and schedule of payment at the time of grant for amounts subject to Code Section 409A, in a lump sum within 90 days after the Participant’s Separation from Service; PROVIDED, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, no such cash payment will be made within the 6-month period following Separation from Service for a Participant who is a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A, on the date of his or her Separation from Service. Cash payments shall not be conditioned on the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or otherwise be structured in such a way as to reduce the exercise price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

(j) SECTION 16 COMPLIANCE. The Plan is intended to comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 or any successor provision, as in effect from time to time, and in all events the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the requirements of Rule 16b-3. If any Plan provision does not comply with Rule 16b-3 as hereafter amended or interpreted, the provision shall be deemed inoperative. The Board, in its absolute discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan with respect to persons who are Section 16 Officers or are Directors subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Eligible Individuals.

(k) RESTRICTIONS. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise or payment of the Exercise Price or purchase price relating to an Award unless such exercise or payment and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of Applicable Law. As a condition to the exercise or payment of the Exercise Price or purchase price relating to such Award, the Company may require that the person exercising or paying the Exercise Price or purchase price represent and warrant that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation and warranty is required by law. All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable, and the Committee may direct appropriate stop transfer orders and cause other legends to be placed on the certificates for such Shares or other securities to reflect such restrictions.

(l) LIMITS ON TRANSFER OF AWARDS. No Award and no right under any such Award shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and the Company shall not be required to recognize any attempted assignment of such rights by any Participant; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if so determined by the Committee, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, if so determined by the Committee, a Participant may transfer a Nonqualified Stock Option to any Family Member (as such term is defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or successor to such Instructions or such Form)) at any time that such Participant holds such Stock Option, whether directly or indirectly or by means of a trust or partnership or otherwise, PROVIDED that the Participant may not receive any consideration for such transfer, the Family Member may not make any subsequent transfers other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and the Company receives written notice of such transfer. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, each Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) or right under any such Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under Applicable Laws, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee for an Award that does not provide nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A(a)(2), no Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) or right under any such Award may be anticipated, assigned, garnished, pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported anticipation, assignment, garnishment, pledge, alienation, attachment or other encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding the above, in the discretion of the Committee, awards may be transferable pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, as determined by the Committee or its designee.

(m) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to Applicable Laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(n) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY AND EACH PARTICIPANT SHALL IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (A) WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PLAN OR ANY AWARD AGREEMENT, (B) AGREE THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY, IN THE CASE OF A PARTICIPANT, AT THE PARTICIPANT’S ADDRESS SHOWN IN THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF THE COMPANY OR, IN THE CASE OF THE COMPANY, AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL OFFICES, ATTENTION GENERAL COUNSEL, AND (C) AGREE THAT NOTHING IN THE PLAN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

(o) COMPENSATION RECOVERY. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Company is required to materially restate its financial results due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under Federal securities laws, excluding a restatement of such financial results due solely to a change in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or such other accounting principles that may be adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and are or become applicable to the Company, the Committee may, in its discretion or as necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, (i) cancel part or all of the outstanding portion of any Award, whether or not vested, and/or (ii) require a Participant to repay the Company an amount equal to all or any portion of the value of Shares that have been issued and other payments that have been made to the Participant pursuant to any Award within the two years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, to the extent that such value or payment amount was based on the erroneous data and exceeded the value or amount that would have been paid to the Participant under the accounting restatement. Such cancellation or repayment obligation shall be effective as of the date specified by the Committee. Any repayment obligation shall be satisfied in cash or in such other form of consideration, such as Shares, permitted by Applicable Laws and acceptable to the Committee, and the Committee may provide for an offset to any future payments owed by the Company or its Affiliates to the Participant if necessary to satisfy the repayment obligation; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that if any such offset is prohibited under Applicable Laws, the Committee shall not permit any such offset and may require immediate repayment by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws, and/or any compensation recovery or clawback policy adopted by the Company after the Effective Date, the Company may unilaterally amend this Section 14(o) and such amendment shall be binding on all Participants; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, regardless of whether the Company makes such a unilateral amendment, all Participants shall be bound by any compensation recovery or clawback policy adopted by the Company after the Effective Date.

SECTION 15. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

The Plan became effective on October 24, 2014.

SECTION 16. TERM OF THE PLAN

The Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date or any earlier date of discontinuation or termination established pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted prior to such discontinuation or termination may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee provided for hereunder with respect to the Plan and any Awards, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond the termination of the Plan.
