1. Purpose; Types of Awards; Construction.

The purpose of the 1993 Stock Award and Incentive Plan of Cytec Industries Inc., as amended (the “Plan”), is to afford an incentive to selected employees, prospective employees, non-employee Directors and independent contractors of Cytec Industries Inc. (the “Company”), or any Subsidiary or Affiliate which now exists or hereafter is organized or acquired, to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, to continue as, or become, employees, directors, or independent contractors, as the case may be, to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business. Pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan, there may be granted Stock Options, stock appreciation rights and limited stock appreciation rights (either in connection with options granted under the Plan or independently of options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, interest equivalents, dividend equivalents, deferred cash awards, deferred stock awards, and other stock-based or cash-based awards.

The Plan is amended and restated effective as of September 17, 2014.

The Committee may appoint a chairman and a secretary and may make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable, and shall keep minutes of its meetings. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members either present in person or participating by conference telephone at a meeting or by written consent.

No member of the Board or Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted hereunder.

4. Eligibility.

Awards may be granted to selected employees and independent contractors of the Company and its present or future Subsidiaries and Affiliates, in the discretion of the Committee. In determining the persons to whom Awards shall be granted and the type of any Award (including the number of shares to be covered by such Award), the Committee shall take into account such factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan. Awards to Non-Employee Directors shall be solely in the form of NQSOs and Restricted Stock, which shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8 and 9 of the Plan, and in Deferred Stock Awards pursuant to Section 6(i)(v) of the Plan.

5. Stock Subject to the Plan.

The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved for the grant of Awards under the Plan shall be 39,800,000, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Originally, 4,300,000 shares of Stock were reserved for the grant of Awards under the Plan. After the

July 1996 three-for-one stock split, this increased to 12,900,000 and was further increased to 14,700,000 after amendments to the Plan were approved by the Board on January 21, 2003 and by the shareholders on April 17, 2003. This number was further increased to 17,900,000 after amendments to the Plan were approved by the Board on January 30, 2008 and by the shareholders on April 17, 2008. This number was further increased to 19,900,000 after amendments to the Plan were approved by the Board on January 31, 2012 and by the shareholders on April 19, 2012. After the September 2014 two-for-one stock split, this increased to 39,800,000. In order to determine the number of shares of Stock remaining available under the Plan after giving effect to the aforementioned stock splits, each of the following events occurring on or prior to the July 2, 1996 record date of the three-for-one stock split (or the July 23, 1996 distribution date in the case of Option exercises) shall be deemed to involve three times the number of shares of Stock that were actually involved and each of the following events occurring on or prior to the September 2, 2014 record date of the two-for-stock split (or the September 17, 2014 distribution date in the case of Option and Stock Appreciation Right exercises or payout dates of Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Awards) shall be deemed to involve two times the number of shares of Stock that were actually involved (or were deemed involved after the earlier three-for-one adjustment in connection with the July 23, 1993 three-for-one stock split): (x) grants, exercises and forfeitures of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights; (y) grants, vesting and forfeitures of Restricted Stock (including performance stock and Director’s Restricted Stock) and Restricted Stock Units; and (z) grants and forfeitures of Deferred Stock Awards.

The shares reserved for Awards under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued shares or shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise. If any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, canceled, exchanged or surrendered or if an Award otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the Grantee, the shares of stock with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided that, in the case of forfeiture, cancellation, exchange or surrender of shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units with respect to which dividends or Dividend Equivalents have been paid or accrued, the number of shares with respect to such Awards shall not be available for Awards hereunder unless, in the case of shares with respect to which dividends or Dividend Equivalents were accrued but unpaid, or in the case of shares with respect to which a stock split in the form of a stock dividend was paid, such dividends and Dividend Equivalents are also forfeited, canceled, exchanged or surrendered. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Awards or Awards, such related Award or Awards shall be canceled to the extent of the number of shares of Stock as to which the Award is exercised and, notwithstanding the foregoing, such number of shares shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan.

Each Award of a share pursuant to Section 6(e), 6(f), 6(g), 6(h), 6(i) and 6(j) of this Plan made between February 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011, inclusive of such dates, shall reduce the number of shares reserved for Award under this Plan by 2.4 shares, provided that if any such shares subject to an Award pursuant to Section 6(e), 6(f), 6(g), 6(h), 6(i) or 6(j) of this Plan are forfeited, canceled, exchanged, surrendered, terminated or expire without a distribution of shares to the Grantee, 2.4 shares shall again be available for Awards under the Plan for each share so forfeited, canceled, exchanged, surrendered, terminated or expired.

Each Award of a share pursuant to Section 6(e), 6(f), 6(g), 6(h), 6(i) and 6(j) of this Plan made on or after January 1, 2012 shall reduce the number of shares reserved for Award under this Plan by 1.68 shares, provided that if any such shares subject to an Award pursuant to Section 6(e), 6(f), 6(g), 6(h), 6(i) or 6(j) of this Plan are forfeited, canceled, exchanged, surrendered, terminated or expire without a distribution of shares to the Grantee, 1.68 shares shall again be available for Awards under the Plan for each share so forfeited, canceled, exchanged, surrendered, terminated or expired.

Each Award of an SAR pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Plan made after January 1, 2006 shall reduce the number of shares reserved for Award under this Plan by one share, provided that if any SARs granted pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Plan are forfeited, canceled, exchanged, surrendered, terminated or expire without a distribution of shares to the Grantee, one share shall again be available for Awards under the Plan for each share so forfeited, canceled, exchanged, surrendered, terminated or expired.

In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Stock, or other property), recapitalization, Stock split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spinoff, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Grantees under the Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock which may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award; provided, that in the case of Awards under Sections 8 and 9 of the Plan, equitable changes or adjustments of the types specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be made. In the event that any change or adjustment results from a Change in Control event, the Committee existing immediately prior to such Change of Control event must approve the change or adjustment with respect to any Awards made prior to the Change in Control event. Any changes or adjustments by the Committee under this Section 5 of the Plan shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

6. Specific Terms of Awards.

(a) General. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate upon the grant, maturation, or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter,

including, without limitation, cash, Stock, or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. The Committee may make rules relating to installment or deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be credited with respect to such payments. In addition to the foregoing, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. The authority given to the Committee under this Section 6 of the Plan is, however, subject to Section 6A of this Plan in the case of Awards to Officers as defined in Section 6A of the Plan.

(b) Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Type of Award. The Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option under the Plan shall designate the Option as an NQSO. No ISO may be granted under this Plan.

(ii) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock purchasable under an Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share on the date of the grant of such Option; provided that in no event shall the exercise price for the purchase of shares be less than par value. The exercise price for Stock subject to an Option may be paid in cash or (if so permitted by the Committee or if so provided in the Award Agreement) by an exchange of Stock previously owned by the Grantee, or a combination of both, in an amount having a combined value equal to such exercise price. A Grantee may also elect to pay all or a portion of the aggregate exercise price by having shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price (i) withheld by the Company, if so permitted by the Committee or so provided in the Award Agreement, or (ii) sold by a broker-dealer under circumstances meeting the requirements of 12 C.F.R. §220 or any successor thereof.

(iii) Term and Exercisability of Options. The date of Option grant shall be the date on which the Option is approved by the Committee, provided that the Committee may determine that the Option shall be granted effective as of a specified date in the future, in which case such specified future date shall be considered the day on which such Option is granted. In the case of Options granted by the CEO, a different Committee of the Board or the Executive Leadership Team pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan, the references in the preceding sentence to the Committee shall be deemed to be references to the CEO, such different Committee of the Board or the Executive Leadership Team as the case may be. Options shall be exercisable over the exercise period (which shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant), at such times and upon such conditions as the Committee may determine, as reflected in the Award Agreement; provided that, the Committee shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. An Option may be exercised to the extent of any or all full shares of Stock as to which the Option has become exercisable, by giving written notice of such exercise to the Committee or its designated agent.

(iv) Termination of Employment, etc. An Option may not be exercised unless the Grantee is then in the employ of, or then maintains an independent contractor relationship with, the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate (or a company or a parent or subsidiary company of such company issuing or assuming the Option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies), and unless the Grantee has remained continuously so employed, or continuously maintained such relationship, since the date of grant of the Option (or, in the case of a Grantee who on the date of grant was a “prospective employee,” since the date of first becoming an employee); provided that, the Award Agreement may contain provisions extending the exercisability of Options to a date not later than the expiration date of such Option.

(v) Maximum Number of Shares. Options may not be granted hereunder to any one person in any ten-year period in an amount greater than fifteen (15%) percent of the total number of shares of Stock originally available for grant of Awards under this Plan (i.e. not more than 15% of 25,800,000 after giving effect to the stock splits; and for purposes of calculating this 15% figure, Options granted to any Grantee prior to July 23, 1996 shall be deemed to have been tripled and Options granted to any Grantee prior to September 17, 2014 (including the previously deemed tripled Options) shall be deemed to have been doubled..

(vi) Other Provisions. Options may be subject to such other conditions including, but not limited to, restrictions on transferability of the shares acquired upon exercise of such Options, as the Committee may prescribe in its discretion.

(c) SARs and Limited SARs. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs and Limited SARs to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

(i) In General. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, an SAR or a Limited SAR granted in tandem with an NQSO may be granted at the time of grant of the related NQSO or at any time thereafter and shall be exercisable only to the extent the underlying NQSO is exercisable.

(ii) SARs. An SAR shall confer on the Grantee a right to receive with respect to each share subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (2) the grant price of the SAR (which in the case of an SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option, and which in the case of any other SAR shall be such price as the Committee may determine, but which may not be less than the fair market value as of the date of grant).

(iii) Term and Exercisability of SARs. The date of an SAR grant shall be the date on which the SAR is approved by the Committee, provided that the Committee may determine that an SAR shall be granted effective as of a specified date in the future, in which case such specified future date shall be considered the day on which such SAR is granted. In the case of SARs

granted by the CEO, a different Committee of the Board or the Executive Leadership Team pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan, the references in the preceding sentence to the Committee shall be deemed to be references to the CEO, such different Committee of the Board or the Executive Leadership Team as the case may be. SARs shall be exercisable over the exercise period (which shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant), at such times and upon such conditions as the Committee may determine, as reflected in the Award Agreement; provided that, the Committee shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding SAR at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. An SAR may be exercised to the extent as to which it has become exercisable, by giving written notice of such exercise to the Committee or its designated agent.

(iv) Termination of Employment, etc. An SAR may not be exercised unless the Grantee is then in the employ of, or then maintains an independent contractor relationship with, the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate (or a company or a parent or subsidiary company of such company issuing or assuming the SAR in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies), and unless the Grantee has remained continuously so employed, or continuously maintained such relationship, since the date of grant of the SAR (or, in the case of a Grantee who on the date of grant was a “prospective employee,” since the date of first becoming an employee); provided that , the Award Agreement may contain provisions extending the exercisability of SARs to a date not later than the expiration date of such SAR.

(v) Other Provisions. SARs may be subject to such other conditions including, but not limited to, restrictions on transferability of the shares acquired upon exercise of such SARs, as the Committee may prescribe in its discretion.

(vi) Limited SARs. A Limited SAR shall confer on the Grantee a right to receive with respect to each share subject thereto, automatically upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the Change in Control Price over (2) the grant price of the Limited SAR (which in the case of a Limited SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option, and which in the case of any other Limited SAR shall be such price as the Committee determines, but which may not be less than the fair market value as of the date of grant).

(d) Repricing or substitution of Options and SARs. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, SARs or Limited SARs or cancel outstanding Options, SARS or Limited SARs in exchange or in substitution for cash, other awards or Options, SARs or Limited SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options, SARs or Limited SARs without stockholder approval.”

(e) Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock (which may be designated as “performance stock”) to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock, a Grantee granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder including, without limitation, the right to vote Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon.

(ii) Forfeiture. Upon termination of employment or termination of the independent contractor relationship during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock and any accrued but unpaid dividends or Dividend Equivalents that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided that , the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock.

(iii) Certificates for Stock. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Grantee, such certificates shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and/or the Company shall retain physical possession of the certificate.

(iv) Dividends. Dividends paid on Restricted Stock shall be either paid at the dividend payment date, or deferred for payment to such date as determined by the Committee, in cash or in shares of unrestricted Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends. Stock distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Stock or other property has been distributed.

(f) Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Grantees, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Award and Restrictions. Delivery of Stock or cash, as determined by the Committee, will occur upon expiration of the deferral period specified for Restricted Stock Units by the Committee. In addition, Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier or later specified times, separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine.

(ii) Forfeiture. Upon termination of employment or termination of the independent contractor relationship during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply, or upon failure to satisfy any other conditions precedent to the delivery of Stock or cash to which such Restricted Stock Units relate, all Restricted Stock Units that are then subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided that , the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units.

(g) Stock Awards in Lieu of Cash Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock as a bonus, or to grant other Awards, in lieu of Company commitments to pay cash under other plans or compensatory arrangements. Stock or Awards granted hereunder shall have such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee.

(h) Dividend Equivalents and Interest Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents and Interest Equivalents to Grantees, provided that in no event may Dividend Equivalents or Interest Equivalents be granted in tandem with an Option, an SAR or a Limited SAR.

(i) The Committee may provide, at the date of grant or thereafter, that Dividend Equivalents and/or Interest Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock or deferred cash, as the case may be, or other investment vehicles as the Committee may specify, provided that Dividend Equivalents or Interest Equivalents (other than freestanding Dividend Equivalents or Interest Equivalents) shall be subject to all conditions and restrictions of the underlying Awards to which they relate.

(ii) Interest Equivalents shall be computed at a market-based rate which, unless the Committee otherwise determines, shall be compounded quarterly at an annual rate equal to the annual rate on the last day of the calendar quarter of 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes plus 1% per annum.

(i) Deferred Stock Awards and Deferred Cash Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Deferred Stock Awards and Deferred Cash Awards, including, but not limited to, Deferred Stock Awards in lieu of directors retainer fees, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The Committee shall establish, in the name of each Grantee receiving a Deferred Stock Award, a Common Stock Account to which the Deferred Stock Award, and any Dividend Equivalents thereon (unless paid currently in the discretion of the Committee), will be credited. The Company shall not be under any obligation to acquire the Stock to pay a Deferred Stock Award (or Dividend Equivalent) at any time prior to the date on which such payment shall be due. The Committee shall establish, in the name of each Grantee receiving a Deferred Cash Award, a Deferred Cash Account to which the Deferred Cash Award, and any Interest Equivalents thereon (unless paid currently in the discretion of the Committee), will be credited.

(ii) The number of equivalent shares of Stock credited to a Common Stock Account shall accrue Dividend Equivalents on such shares, as if actual shares of Stock had been issued, from the date the Deferred Stock is credited to the Common Stock Account to and including the date on which the amount credited to the Common Stock Account is deemed to have been paid. Such Dividend Equivalents will be credited to the Common Stock Account as additional equivalent shares of Stock. In the case of a stock dividend, the number of shares to be credited shall be the number of shares of stock that would have been issued on the equivalent number of shares of Stock in the Common Stock Account. In other cases, the number of equivalent shares (including fractional shares) to be so credited will be determined by dividing the Dividend Equivalents by the Fair Market Value of the Stock for the day on which the related dividend is paid. If any dividend is paid on the Stock of the Company, other than in cash or Stock, the Committee shall conclusively determine the Fair Market Value in cash of such dividend.

(iii) The amount of Deferred Cash credited to a Deferred Cash Account shall accrue Interest Equivalents from the date the Deferred Cash is credited to the Deferred Cash Account to and including the date on which the amount credited to the Deferred Cash Account is deemed to have been paid. Such Interest Equivalents will be credited to the Deferred Cash Account as additional cash which shall, in turn, accrue further Interest Equivalents. Interest Equivalents will be credited, as of the last day of each calendar quarter on the average daily balance of deferred cash in said account during said quarter. If any Deferred Cash is disbursed to a Grantee or a Beneficiary on a date other than the last day of a calendar quarter, Interest Equivalents (properly prorated for the partial quarter) shall be credited on the Deferred Cash so disbursed for the partial calendar quarter, but shall be computed based on the interest rate in effect on the business day next preceding the date of disbursement.

(iv) Payments from Common Stock and Deferred Cash Accounts.

A(1). Except as provided below, for Awards that were vested on or before December 31, 2004, payment of the total amount credited to a Grantee’s Common Stock Account or Deferred Cash Account, as the case may be, shall be made to him, or, in case of his death prior to the commencement of payments on account of such total amount, to his Beneficiary, at the Grantee’s election made in accordance with the last two sentences of this paragraph A(l) in sixty (60) quarterly installments or (ii) in five annual installments or (iii) in a single lump sum, commencing the first day of the calendar

quarter, or as soon thereafter as practicable, following the date on which he ceases, by reason of death or otherwise, to be an employee or a director. The amount of each payment shall be the amount credited to such account multiplied by a factor, the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is the number of installments remaining to be paid. If the aggregate number of shares credited to a Common Stock Account shall not be divisible into whole shares by the applicable number of installments, each installment except the last shall consist of the nearest number of whole shares into which such aggregate number of shares shall be divisible by the applicable number of installments. The last installment shall consist of the total amount of whole shares of remaining Deferred Stock credited to such account and any fractional share shall be paid in cash. The Secretary to the Committee shall solicit an installment election from each recipient of a Deferred Stock Award or a Deferred Cash Award who is not yet receiving distributions under this Section 6(i)(iv) by December 1, 2003. Persons who receive their first Deferred Stock or Deferred Cash Award after that date shall make an installment election within the thirty day period after they first receive such an Award. Any recipient of such an Award may change his installment election up until the twelve month period preceding the date of his termination or retirement as an employee or director. Changes made during the twelve month period preceding termination or retirement will be ignored.

A(2). Except as provided below, for Awards granted on or after January 1, 2005, and Awards that were granted before, but not vested as of December 31, 2004, payment of the total amount credited to a Grantee’s Common Stock Account or Deferred Cash Account, as the case may be, shall be made to him, or, in case of his death prior to the commencement of payments on account of such total amount, to his Beneficiary, at the Grantee’s election made in accordance with the terms of this Section 6(i)(iv)(A)(2)) of the Plan in (i) a single lump sum payment, (ii) in five (5) annual installments, (iii) in ten (10) annual installments, and (iv) in fifteen (15) annual installments, commencing on the first business day of the seventh (7^th) calendar month following the date on which he ceases, by reason of death or otherwise, to be an employee or a director, provided that in the event that it is not administratively feasible to make the payment on such date, payment shall be made no later than thirty days following such date.

The amount of each payment shall be the amount credited to such account multiplied by a factor, the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is the number of installments remaining to be paid. If the aggregate number of shares credited to a Common Stock Account shall not be divisible into whole shares by the applicable number of installments, each installment except the last shall consist of the nearest number of whole shares into which such aggregate number of shares shall be divisible by the applicable number of installments. The last installment shall consist of the total amount of whole shares of remaining Deferred Stock credited to such account and any fractional share shall be paid in cash. Persons who receive their first Deferred Stock or Deferred Cash Award shall make a one time payment election prior to the receipt of such Award and this payment election shall apply to all future Deferred Stock and Cash Awards under the Plan. If the Grantee fails to make a payment election, the respective Award will be paid in five (5) annual installments. Any recipient of such an Award may change his payment election up until the day that is six (6) months before the date of his termination or retirement as an employee or director, provided however, any change in payment form will result in the commencement date of the payment, or payments, being delayed for a period of five (5) years from the original commencement date. Any changes made during the six (6) month period preceding termination or retirement will be ignored. For purposes of this Section 6(i)(iv)(A(2)) of the Plan, installments under the installment payment forms shall be designated as a single payment.

B. In case of the death of an employee after the commencement of payments to him in respect of his Common Stock Account or Deferred Cash Account, as the case may be, the then remaining unpaid portion thereof shall continue to be paid in installments, at such times and in such manner as if he were living, to his Beneficiary.

C. For Awards that were vested on or before December 31, 2004, with respect to the total amount in a Common Stock Account or Deferred Cash Account, as the case may be, or the then remaining unpaid portion thereof, which shall be payable to any person who shall no longer be an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or to the Beneficiary of any such person, the Committee shall possess absolute discretion to accelerate the time of payment of such total amount or remaining unpaid portion, in whole or in part, as the case may be. In addition and for Awards that were vested on or before December 31, 2004, the Committee shall possess absolute discretion to accelerate to any extent such total amount or remaining unpaid portion, even while a person remains an employee, if there occurs financial hardship or any other event which the Committee deems, in its absolute discretion, to constitute an extraordinary circumstance. As it relates to Awards granted on or after January 1, 2005, and Awards that were granted before, but not vested as of December 31, 2004, the Committee shall possess absolute discretion to accelerate to any extent such total amount or remaining unpaid portion, even while a person remains an employee, only if there occurs an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency.

(v) By notice to the Committee at least 15 days in advance of the commencement of any calendar quarter with respect to which directors’ retainer fees are paid, but in no event later than the last day of the preceding calendar quarter, as long as the Committee approves such election at its next regularly scheduled meeting, any Non-Employee Director of the Company may elect to receive Deferred Stock Awards in lieu of retainer fees for serving on the Board. The amount of each such Deferred Stock Award shall be determined by dividing the amount of the fee that would have been paid but for the election by such director to receive a Deferred Stock Award by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the last day of the period with respect to which

such retainer would have been paid and rounding the result to the nearest whole share. Any election by a director pursuant to this provision shall remain in place until the commencement of the annual retainer period after such director gives notice to the Committee that he or she elects to receive future retainer fees in cash.

(j) Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant to Grantees Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan or in addition to, or in lieu of, any other Award under the Plan, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such Awards may be granted with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the Committee, or valued by reference to the performance of specified Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other Cash Based Awards may be granted as annual bonus, as multi-year performance cash awards, or otherwise. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at the date of grant or thereafter.

6A. Special Restrictions on Awards to Officers.

Subject to Sections 6A(i) and 6A(k) of the Plan, this Section 6A of the Plan applies to all Awards to “Officers”; provided that this Section 6A of the Plan applies to Options, SARs and Limited SARs only to the extent specifically stated in this Section. For purposes of this Section 6A of the Plan, an “Officer” is any employee who would be treated at the time an Award is granted as an officer of the Company pursuant to the executive compensation disclosure rules under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the Plan disregarded under Section 6A(a) of the Plan shall be reinstated and fully applicable to all Awards granted to Officers pursuant to this Section 6A of the Plan to the extent that, as of the end of the calendar year following the year in which the Award is granted, they are not “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.

(a) Intent. Awards subject to this Section 6A of the Plan are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. This Section 6A of the Plan shall be interpreted consistently with such intent and any provisions of the Plan inconsistent therewith shall not apply to any Awards subject to this Section 6A of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall have no discretion to increase the value of any Awards subject to this Section 6A of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other provisions of the Plan (as modified by this Section 6A of the Plan) as may be determined by the Committee.

(b) Maximum Awards. The maximum Awards (other than Options, SARs and Limited SARs) that may be granted to any Officer pursuant to this Section 6A of the Plan on account of any calendar year shall not exceed the greater of (i) five hundred percent (500%) of the Officer’s base salary for that year or (ii) $5,000,000. Awards shall be considered to be on account of the calendar year in which the relevant performance periods terminate. Awards granted pursuant to Section 6A(i) of the Plan shall not be taken into account in applying the foregoing limit. The maximum number of shares of Stock subject to an Option, SAR or Limited SAR that may be granted hereunder to an Officer during any ten-year period is set forth in Section 6(b)(v) of the Plan.

(c) Designation of Performance Goals. The Committee shall establish specific objective targets, schedules, thresholds or goals (“Performance Goals”) for each Award subject to this Section 6A of the Plan; provided that, at the time of the grant of any Award, the achievement of the Performance Goal shall be substantially uncertain. The Performance Goals designated by the Committee shall be determined based upon one or more of the business criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto (“Performance Measures”). To the extent applicable, the Committee may specify a Performance Measure in relation to total Company performance or in relation to the performance of identifiable business unit(s) of the Company. A Performance Goal may be expressed in any form as the Committee may determine including, but not limited to: (1) percentage growth, (2) absolute growth, (3) cumulative growth, (4) performance in relation to an index, (5) performance in relation to peer company performance, (6) a designated absolute amount and (7) per share of Stock outstanding. The Performance Goals so established may exclude the effects of certain events or categories of events specifically identified by the Committee. Nothing shall preclude the Committee from designating different Performance Measures and Performance Goals for Awards granted to different Officers in the same performance period.

(d) Performance Goal Modifications. To the degree consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto), the Committee may adjust, modify or amend a Performance Measure, either in establishing the measure or in determining the extent to which any Performance Measure has been achieved. In particular, the Committee shall have the authority to make equitable adjustments in the criteria where necessary (i) in response to changes in applicable laws or regulations, (ii) to account for items of gain, loss, or expense that are related to the disposal (or acquisition) of a business or change in accounting principles that was not anticipated at the time an award was made, (iii) to account for the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, (iv) to account for unusual or non-recurring transactions that were not anticipated at the time an award was made, and (v) to reflect other unusual, nonrecurring, or unexpected items similar in nature to the foregoing as determined in good faith by the Committee consistent with the principles set forth in section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Such adjustments may be made with respect to the performance of any subsidiary, affiliate, business or operating unit, as applicable, shall be made in a consistent manner from year to year, and shall be made in accordance with the objectives of the Plan and the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(e) Determination of Awards. The Committee shall have discretion to structure the types of Awards granted to Officers. Such Awards may be either Awards having a performance period of one year or less (such as, for example, an annual bonus plan providing for a cash or a Stock bonus) or Awards which vest over longer periods (such as, for example, a Performance Stock Award or Performance Cash Award which might vest after a period of two or more years). No later than 90 days after the commencement of

a performance period (but, in any event, within the first 25% of such performance period, if earlier), the Committee shall designate or approve as to the Awards relating to such period, (i) the Officers who will be Grantees, if any, (ii) the types of Awards (which will be selected from the types of Awards permitted under Section 6 of the Plan), (iii) the Performance Measures applicable to each Award, (iv) if there is more than one Performance Measure applicable to a single Award, the weighting, or other role, of the Performance Measures in determining the Award, (v) the Performance Goals and payout matrix or formula for each Performance Measure, (vi) the performance period or periods, (vii) the target Award or Awards for each Grantee, (viii) the extent to which, and the circumstances under which, the Award may pay out at greater than, or less than, target levels, and (ix) to the extent required under Code Section 162(m), the maximum dollar amount a Grantee may earn with respect to a performance period.

(f) Payment of Awards. Subject to Section 7 of the Plan (“Change in Control Provisions”), an Award subject to this Section 6A of the Plan shall vest only to the extent that the applicable Performance Goal or Goals, if any, have been attained. As a condition to the vesting of any Award, the Committee shall first certify, by resolution of the Committee, that the applicable Performance Goal or Goals have been attained and the other applicable Plan provisions have been satisfied. Following the end of a performance period, the Committee shall determine the amount of each Award that vests for each Grantee by:

(1) Comparing actual performance for each Performance Measure against the payout matrix approved for such period,

(2) Multiplying the payout percentage from the payout matrix for each Performance Measure by the appropriate weighting factor, if applicable, and

(3) Summing the applicable weighted payout percentages and multiplying their overall payout percentage by the Grantee’s Award

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary (but provided that the right to do so is specifically retained in the applicable Award Agreement), the Committee in its sole discretion may reduce any Award to any Grantee to any amount, including zero, prior to the certification by resolution of the Committee of the amount of such Award. The amount of an Award that vests for a calendar year or other performance period shall be determined as soon as practicable after such period and shall be paid no later than 75 days following the end of such year or other period.

(g) Grants of Options and SARs. The Committee may grant Options, SARs and Limited SARs the vesting of which is not contingent upon the attainment of any Performance Goal or Goals. Except as provided in Section 6A(i) of the Plan, but subject to Section 6(e) of the Plan, the exercise or grant price, as applicable, of each share of Stock subject to such Options, SARs and Limited SARs shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of grant.

(h) Deferred Payments. The Committee, in its discretion, may elect to defer payment of any Award until such date before or after retirement as a Grantee may request upon such terms and conditions as may be approved or established by the Committee in its sole judgment. Such terms may include the payment of Interest or Dividend Equivalents on deferred amounts. For Awards granted on or after January 1, 2005, and Awards that were granted before, but not vested as of December 31, 2004, the deferral requested by the Grantee must be made in compliance with the provisions of 409A of the Code.

(i) Non-Performance-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6A of the Plan, the Committee may grant Awards to Officers that are not subject to this Section 6A of the Plan. All Awards granted by the Committee shall indicate whether or not they are subject to this Section 6A of the Plan.

(j) Valuation. Whenever in this Section 6A of the Plan there is a reference to a maximum dollar value of a stock-based Award (including but not limited to a Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, a Deferred Stock Award or other Stock-Based Award), the dollar value is determined as of the date of the grant of the Award and not as of the date of vesting. If one type of Award is substituted for another (such as, for example, a Deferred Stock Award being substituted for a Restricted Stock Award or for an Award of Restricted Stock Units, where each Award is based upon the same number of shares of Common Stock), the value of the substitute Award for this purpose is the same as the Award for which it is substituted. Whenever in this Section 6A there is a reference to a maximum dollar value of an Award, Dividend Equivalents and Interest Equivalents (other than free-standing Dividend Equivalents and Interest Equivalents) shall not be counted in determining such maximum amount.

(k) Grant-by-Grant Determination. The Committee may grant Awards a portion of which satisfy the provisions of this Section 6A of the Plan and a portion of which do not. In such a case, the Award shall be deemed to be the grant of two Awards, one subject to this Section 6A of the Plan and the other granted pursuant to Section 6A(i) of the Plan.

(l) Substitute Awards. Subject to Section 6(d), the Committee may establish procedures under which one Award is substituted for an equivalent Award of a different type; such as a Deferred Stock Award being substituted for an Award of an equivalent number of shares of Restricted Stock. Nothing contained in this Section 6A of the Plan requires the substitute Award to be subject to Performance Goals in addition to the Performance Goals of the Award for which it was substituted.

7. Change in Control Provisions. In the event of a Change in Control:

(a) Any Award granted on or before December 31, 2011 carrying a right to exercise that was not previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested; and

(b) The restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other Award granted under the Plan on or before December 31, 2011 shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested, and any performance conditions imposed with respect to such Awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved.

(c) For any Award granted on or after January 1, 2012 and prior to such Change in Control event, the following shall apply:

(a) General. Non-Employee Directors will receive Director’s Restricted Stock in accordance with this Section 9 of the Plan. No agreement with any Non-Employee Director may alter the provisions of this Section and no Director’s Restricted Stock may be subject to a discretionary acceleration of vesting. Each person who was a Non-Employee Director prior to the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was granted 2,500 shares of Director’s Restricted Stock.

(b) Grants to New Non-Employee Directors. (i) Each Non-Employee Director who, on or after the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and prior to January 1, 2006, was elected to the Board for the first time, was, at the time such Director was duly elected and qualified, granted automatically, without action by the Committee, a number of shares of Director’s Restricted Stock equal to the lesser of (x) 2,500 shares (7,500 shares on or after July 23, 1996) or (y) the nearest number of whole shares determined by multiplying 2,500 (7,500 on or after July 23, 1996) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the initial Fair Market Value of the Stock determined under the formula utilized for initial grants of NQSQs to Non-Employee Directors in February 1994 (such initial Fair Market Value being $15.375 per share or, on or after July 23, 1996, $5.125 per share), and the denominator of which is the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date on which such Director is duly elected and qualified.

(c) Grants to Non-Employee Directors on or after January 1, 2006. All grants of Restricted Stock after December 31, 2005 to non-Employee Directors shall be for such amounts and subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, to the extent such authority is delegated to the Committee by the Board.

(d) Vesting.

(i) For Awards granted on or before December 31, 2005, each Award of Director’s Restricted Stock shall become non-forfeitable as to twenty percent of the Stock covered by the Award on the first anniversary date of the Award and as to an additional twenty percent of the Stock on each of the following four anniversary dates of the Award; provided that each Award shall be immediately non-forfeitable in full upon a Change in Control. If a Non-Employee Director’s service on the Board terminates prior to the Award becoming entirely non-forfeitable, any portion of the Award which then remains forfeitable shall revert to the Company, except that if the Non-Employee Director’s service terminates by reason of death or Disability, any 20 percent installment with respect to which such Non-Employee Director shall have begun (but not completed) the requisite annual service shall become, as to such installment, also entirely nonforfeitable.

(ii) A Non-Employee Director may, on or prior to December 31, 1995 (or in the case of a Non-Employee Director who first becomes a Director after December 31, 1995, within thirty days after becoming a Director), as to his forfeitable shares of Director’s Restricted Stock elect that such shares shall become nonforfeitable on January 1 following the year in which he attains his 70th birthday, but not earlier than the date upon which such shares become nonforfeitable under subparagraph (i) of this paragraph (d) or later than the date of a Change in Control. During such additional period, if any, that such shares are forfeitable under this subparagraph (ii), the shares shall be forfeited if such Non-Employee Director resigns from the Board of Directors or refuses to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors, unless:

(A) Such resignation or refusal results from the Disability or death of the Non-Employee Director; or

(B) Such Non-Employee Director furnishes to the Board of Directors an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the remaining members, to the effect that continued membership on the Board will result in such Non-Employee Director having a conflict of interest or suffering some other significant legal liability; or

(C) Such resignation or refusal is approved or requested by a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors or by stockholders owning a majority of the voting stock of the Company.

During such additional period, if any, that such shares are forfeitable under this Section 9(d)(ii) of the Plan, if there occurs an event described subsection A., B. or C. of this Section 9(d)(ii) of the Plan, the shares shall become nonforfeitable on the date that the Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.

Any such election to defer vesting shall be made in writing addressed to the Secretary of the Committee, and shall be irrevocable when received.

(e) Dividends; Voting. Except as set forth in this Section 9 of the Plan, a Director granted Director’s Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder including, without limitation, the right to vote Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon.

(f) The Director’s Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following provisions prior to becoming non-forfeitable:

(i) The Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; and neither the right to receive Stock nor any interest therein under the Plan may be assigned, and any attempted assignment shall be void.

(ii) The Stock certificates shall, at the option of the Company, either (x) be held by the Company together with stock powers endorsed by the Director in blank, or (y) bear an appropriate restrictive legend and be subject to appropriate “stop transfer” orders, or (z) both.

(iii) Any additional Stock or other securities or property (other than cash dividends) that may be issued with respect to Director’s Stock as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination of shares or other event, shall be subject to the restrictions and other terms and conditions of the Plan.

10. General Provisions.

(a) Compliance with Local and Exchange Requirements. The Plan, the granting and exercising of Awards, and the other obligations of the Company under the Plan and any Award Agreement, promissory note or other agreement shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Stock under any Award until completion of such stock exchange listing or registration or qualification of such Stock or other required action under any state, federal or foreign law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any Grantee to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Stock in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(b) Nontransferability. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in any Award Agreement, Awards shall not be transferable by a Grantee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined under the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Grantee only by such Grantee or his guardian or legal representative.

(c) No Right to Continued Employment, etc. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award granted or any Award Agreement, or other agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employ of or to continue as an independent contractor, or director of the Company, any subsidiary or any Affiliate or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Award Agreement, or other agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary or Affiliate or the stockholders to terminate such Grantee’s employment, directorship or independent contractor relationship.

(d) Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, or any other payment to a Grantee, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other actions as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Grantees to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Grantee’s tax obligations.

                 (e) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided that , without stockholder approval, no amendment shall be made (A) to change Section 4 of the Plan which defines the persons eligible to receive Awards, (B) to increase the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the Plan (other than pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions set forth in Section 5 of the Plan), (C) to increase the number of shares issuable under Sections 6(e), 6(f), 6(g) and 6(j) of the Plan, (D) to change the provisions limiting repricing or substitution of options in Section 6(d) of the Plan, (E) to extend the 10 year maximum term of Options or SARs issued under the Plan set forth in Section 6(b)(iii) and Section 6(c)(iii) of the Plan, (F) to create additional kinds of awards under the Plan not already contemplated by the Plan or (vii) to change this Section 10(e) of the Plan. Additionally, no amendment shall affect adversely any of the rights of any Grantee, without such Grantee’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan. Nothing in this Section 10(e) of the Plan shall limit the provisions of Section 10(i) of the Plan.

(f) No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. No Grantee shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Grantees. Except as provided specifically herein, a Grantee or a transferee of an Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares.

(g) Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Grantee pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Grantee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

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

(i) Not Exclusive. The Awards granted under this Plan are not intended to be exclusive and, accordingly, the Board may adopt, or permit the adoption of, other compensation and/or benefit plans or arrangements of any type whatsoever, including but not limited to plans or arrangements that provide for compensation in the same form as, or in form similar or dissimilar to, types of compensation available under this Plan.

(j) Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

(k) Effective Date. The Plan has been approved by stockholders. Amendments to the Plan effected at the January 21, 2003 meeting of the Board shall take effect upon their adoption by the Board (the “Effective Date”), but the amendments to this Plan (and any Awards made on or after such date and prior to the stockholder approval mentioned herein), shall be subject to the approval of such amendments by a majority of the votes cast on the proposal seeking such approval, provided that the total vote cast on the proposal represents over 50% in interest of all securities entitled to vote on the proposal, which approval must occur within twelve months of the Effective Date; provided that Awards which could have been made under the Plan as previously in effect shall not be affected by the lack of stockholder approval of the amendments. In the absence of such approval, except as so provided above, such Awards shall be null and void.
