The annual meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote in the election of directors shall be held at 10:00 a.m. on the first Tuesday of May of each year or, if such day shall be a legal holiday, the first regular business day immediately following such date, for the purpose of electing directors whose term expires in such year and for the transaction of such other business as may have been properly brought before the meeting in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.04.2 unless the Board of Directors shall designate another date and time for any such meeting, in which event such meeting shall be held at such other time and on such other date so designated by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2.02. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, may only be called by the Chief Executive Officer, or by the Board; provided, however, that the Corporation shall hold a special meeting of shareholders if one or more signed and dated written demand or demands by holders of at least ten percent (10%) of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered are delivered to the Corporation as required under the WBCL, which demand or demands must describe one or more identical purposes for which the shareholders demand that a special meeting be held.
2 SECTION 2.03. Place of Meeting. All annual and special meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Wisconsin unless the Board of Directors shall (a) designate another place, either within or without the State of Wisconsin, for any such meeting, in which event such meeting shall be at such other place so designated by the Board of Directors or (b) determine, in its sole discretion, that such meeting shall not be held at any place, but shall be held solely by means of remote communication. Any meeting may be adjourned to reconvene at any place, or by means of remote communication, in either case as designated by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting. SECTION 2.04. Notice of Meetings. 2.04.1. Notice of Meeting. The Corporation shall notify shareholders of the date, time and place, if any, of each annual and special meeting of shareholders. If the Board of Directors has authorized participation by means of remote communication, the notice of the meeting also shall describe the means of remote communication to be used. Notice of all meetings need be given only to shareholders entitled to vote, unless otherwise required by the WBCL, and shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting date. The Corporation may give notice in person, by mail or other method of delivery, by telephone, including voice mail, answering machine or answering service or by any other electronic means and, if these forms of personal notice are impracticable, notice may be communicated by a newspaper of general circulation in the area where published, or by radio, television or other form of public broadcast communication. Written notice, which includes notice by electronic transmission, shall be effective when mailed postpaid and addressed to the shareholder’s address shown in the Corporation’s current record of shareholders, or when electronically transmitted to the shareholder in a manner authorized by the shareholder. Oral notice shall be deemed to be effective when communicated. Notice by newspaper, radio, television or other form of public broadcast communication shall be deemed to be effective the date of publication or broadcast. 2.04.2. Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. At an annual meeting of shareholders, only such nominations of persons for the election of directors and such other business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business (including but not limited to director nominations) must be: (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any amendment or supplement thereto) given in accordance with Section 2.04.1, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record of the Corporation at the time such notice of such meeting is delivered, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.04.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or propose business (other than business included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, as defined below) at an annual meeting of shareholders.
3 In addition to any other requirements under applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, for business (including but not limited to director nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely written notice thereof in proper form to the Secretary in accordance with this Section 2.04.2 (even if such issue or matter is already the subject of any notice (including by Public Announcement, as defined below)) to the shareholders. For all business other than director nominations (to which the procedures in Section 2.12 shall apply) to be timely, a shareholder’s notice of such business must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than at the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, and not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day in advance of the anniversary of the annual meeting of shareholders held in the prior year; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, if the meeting is convened more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the prior year, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice, which includes a Public Announcement, is first given to shareholders by the Corporation. In no event shall an adjournment, or postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has been given, commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice. For all business other than director nominations (to which the procedures in Section 2.12 shall apply) to be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter that the shareholder proposes to bring before an annual meeting: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) with respect to the shareholder proposing such business, (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such shareholder, (ii)(A) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned of record and shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially but not of record by such shareholder as well as by any Associated Person (as defined below), (B) any Derivative Instrument (as defined below) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such shareholder as well as by any Associated Person and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such shareholder as well as any Associated Person has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) the extent to which such shareholder, or any Associated Person, has entered into any transaction or series of transactions, including hedging, short selling, borrowing shares, or lending shares, with the effect or intent to mitigate loss or manage the risks of changes in share price or to profit or share in profit from any decrease in share price, or to increase or decrease the voting power of such shareholder or any Associated Person with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such shareholder that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held,
4 directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such shareholder is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, and (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such shareholder is entitled to base on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such shareholder’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date); (ii) any other information relating to such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings that would be required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the proposal pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (iii) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present the proposed business specified in the notice; and (iv) any interest of the shareholder in such business. In addition, any such shareholder shall be required to provide such further information as may be requested by the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted and no director nominations shall be made at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04.2 and Section 2.12 and failure to comply with such procedures shall include without limitation any failure by a shareholder intending to propose any business or make a director nomination to comply with such procedures (including without limitation a failure by any such shareholder to timely provide information as required in this Section 2.04.2 or Section 2.12 with respect to such business or such director nomination, as the case may be), or the failure by any such shareholder to appear at the meeting to present any such proposed business or director nomination, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.04.2 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures. The presiding officer at an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.04.2, and if the presiding officer should so determine, the presiding officer shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. For purposes of this Section 2.04.2 and Section 2.12, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) “Associated Person” of any shareholder means any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such shareholder; any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such shareholder; and any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such shareholder; (b) “Derivative Instrument” means any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class
5 or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right is subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise; (c) the “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (d) “Public Announcement” means disclosure in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Reuters Economic Services, Associated Press or comparable national news service, and notice given by Public Announcement shall be deemed given when such disclosure is first made. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.04.2 or Section 2.12, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.04.2 and in Section 2.12. Nothing in this Section 2.04.2 or Section 2.12 shall be deemed to affect the Corporation’s obligations, or any shareholder’s rights to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement, under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. 2.04.3. Adjourned Meeting. If any shareholder meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, or will be held by a new means of remote communication, notice need not be given of the new date, time, place, or means of remote communication if the new date, time, place, or means of remote communication are announced at the meeting before adjournment. But if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed (see Section 2.05 of this Article II), then notice must be given pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.04.1 to those persons who are shareholders as of the new record date. 2.04.4. Waiver of Notice. Any shareholder may waive notice of the meeting (or any notice required by the WBCL, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws), by a writing signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, which is delivered to the Corporation (either before or after the date and time stated in the notice) for inclusion in the corporate records. A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting, whether physical or remote, in person or by proxy: (a) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (b) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented. 2.04.5. Contents of Notice. The notice of each special shareholder meeting shall include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and such other information as may be required by the WBCL. Except as provided in this Section 2.04.5, or as otherwise required by the WBCL or the Corporation’s Articles of
6 Incorporation, the notice of an annual shareholder meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. SECTION 2.05. Fixing of Record Date. 2.05.1. Meetings, Distributions, Etc. For the purpose of determining shareholders of any voting group entitled to notice of a shareholders’ meeting, to demand a special meeting, or to vote or take any other action, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution or share dividend, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination. Such record date shall not be more than seventy (70) days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to demand or vote at, a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive a share dividend or distribution, the record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on: (a) with respect to an annual shareholder meeting or any special shareholder meeting called by the Board of Directors or any person specifically authorized by the Board of Directors or these Bylaws to call a meeting, the day before the first notice is delivered to shareholders; (b) with respect to a special shareholders’ meeting demanded by the shareholders, the date the first shareholder signs the demand; (c) with respect to the payment of a share dividend, the date the Board of Directors authorizes the share dividend; (d) with respect to actions taken in writing without a meeting (pursuant to Section 2.11 of this Article II), the date the first shareholder signs a consent; and (e) with respect to a distribution to shareholders (other than a distribution involving a purchase, redemption or other acquisition of the Corporation’s shares), the date the Board of Directors authorizes the distribution. 2.05.2. Adjournment. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any shareholders’ meeting has been made as provided in this Section 2.05, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting. SECTION 2.06. Shareholder List. After fixing a record date for a meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare a list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of the shareholders’ meeting. The list shall be arranged by class or series of shares and show the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder. The shareholders’ list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder beginning two (2) business
7 days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting. The list shall be available at the Corporation’s principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting is to be held or on a reasonably accessible electronic network if the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting. Subject to the provisions of the WBCL, a shareholder, or such shareholder’s agent or attorney, is entitled, on written demand, to inspect and, provided that the shareholder, or such shareholder’s agent or attorney, demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such person satisfies the applicable requirements of the WBCL, to copy the list, during regular business hours and at the shareholder’s expense, during the period it is available for inspection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, if the Corporation determines that the list will be made available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to shareholders. The Corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting and any shareholder, or such shareholder’s agent or attorney, may inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder during the entire time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Refusal or failure to prepare or make available the shareholders’ list shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting. SECTION 2.07. Quorum, Voting Requirements, Voting Groups and Remote Participation. 2.07.1. Quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a Bylaw adopted under authority granted in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or the WBCL provides otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. 2.07.2. Voting Requirements. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the sole purpose of objecting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is deemed present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting. If a quorum exists, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or the WBCL requires a greater number of affirmative votes; provided, however, the voting requirements for the election of directors shall be governed by Section 2.13. 2.07.3. Voting Groups. If the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or the WBCL provides for voting by a single voting group on a matter, action on that matter is taken when voted upon by that voting group. If the Articles of Incorporation or the WBCL provides for voting by two or more voting groups on a matter, action on that matter is taken only when voted upon by each of those voting groups counted separately.
8 Action may be taken by one voting group on a matter even though no action is taken by another voting group entitled to vote on the matter. 2.07.4 Remote Participation. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to the rest of this Section 2.07.4 and to any guidelines and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, shareholders and proxies of shareholders not physically present at a meeting of shareholders may participate in the meeting by means of remote communication. If shareholders or proxies of shareholders participate in a meeting by means of remote communication, the participating shareholders or proxies of shareholders are deemed to be present in person and to vote at the meeting, whether the meeting is held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, if the Corporation: (a) has implemented reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a shareholder or proxy of a shareholder; (b) has implemented reasonable measures to provide shareholders and proxies of shareholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting concurrently with the proceedings; and (c) maintains a record of voting or action by any shareholder or proxy of a shareholder that votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of a remote communication. SECTION 2.08. Proxies. For all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may authorize another person to act for the shareholder by appointing the person as proxy. A shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized officer, director, employee, agent or attorney-in-fact may use any of the following means to appoint a proxy: (i) in writing by signing or causing the shareholder’s signature to be affixed to an appointment form by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature; (ii) by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission of the appointment to the person who will be appointed as proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent authorized to receive the transmission by the person who will be appointed as proxy; or (iii) by any other means permitted by the WBCL. An appointment of a proxy shall be effective when a signed appointment form or an electronic transmission of the appointment is received by the inspector of election or the officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes. No appointment shall be valid after eleven (11) months unless otherwise provided in the appointment. SECTION 2.09. Voting of Shares. 2.09.1. Generally. Except as otherwise provided in the WBCL or in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter voted on at a shareholders’ meeting.
9 2.09.2. Shares Held by a Controlled Corporation. No shares in the Corporation held by another corporation may be voted if the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a sufficient number of shares entitled to elect a majority of the directors of such other corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be limited in its power to vote any shares, including its own shares, held by it in a fiduciary capacity. 2.09.3. Redeemable Shares. Redeemable shares are not entitled to vote after notice of redemption is mailed to the holders thereof and a sum sufficient to redeem the shares has been deposited with a bank, trust company, or other financial institution under an irrevocable obligation to pay the holders the redemption price on surrender of the shares. 2.09.4. No Nominee Procedures. The Corporation has not established, and nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to establish, any procedure by which a beneficial owner of the Corporation’s shares that are registered in the name of a nominee is recognized by the Corporation as a shareholder under Section 180.0723 of the WBCL. SECTION 2.10. Corporation’s Acceptance of Votes. 2.10.1. Shareholder Name. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the Corporation, if acting in good faith, is entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder. 2.10.2. Other Name. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment does not correspond to the name of its shareholder, the Corporation, if acting in good faith, is nevertheless entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if: (a) the shareholder is an entity as defined in the WBCL and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity; (b) the name signed purports to be that of a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the Corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment; (c) the name signed purports to be that of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the Corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment; (d) the name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the Corporation of the signatory’s authority to sign for the
10 shareholder has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment; or (e) two or more persons are the shareholder as co-tenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co- owners and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all the co-owners. 2.10.3. Invalid Signature. The Corporation is entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment if the Secretary or other officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature or about the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder. 2.10.4. No Liability. The Corporation and its officers or agents who accept or reject a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment in good faith and in accordance with the standards of this Section 2.10 are not liable in damages to the shareholder or any other person for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection. 2.10.5. Presumption of Validity. Corporate action based on the acceptance or rejection of a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment under this Section 2.10 is valid unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise. SECTION 2.11. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required or permitted by the WBCL to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by shareholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting those shares with voting power to cast not less than the minimum number or, in the case of voting by voting groups, numbers of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minute book. If the action to be taken requires that notice be given to non-voting shareholders, except as is otherwise required by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, the Corporation shall give the non-voting shareholders written notice of the proposed action at least ten (10) days before the action is taken, which notice shall contain or be accompanied by the same material that would have been required if a formal meeting had been called to consider the action. Action taken by written consents is effective when the last such written consent is delivered to the Corporation, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A written consent signed by all shareholders required to sign such consent in order to take such action in accordance with this Section 2.11 has the effect of a vote approving such action by such shareholders at a meeting at which all such shareholders were present and may be described as such in any document. SECTION 2.12. Procedures for Director Nominations. Only persons nominated in accordance with all of the procedures set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or the Schneider Family Board Nomination Process Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Schneider Family Nomination Agreement”) shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of shareholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, by any shareholder of the Corporation who is a shareholder of record of the Corporation at the time notice of the meeting is
11 delivered, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.12, or pursuant to the Schneider Family Nomination Agreement. For director nominations to be made by a shareholder to be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation: (a) with respect to director nominations to be made at an annual meeting, not later than at the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, and not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day in advance of, the anniversary of the annual meeting of shareholders held in the prior year; and (b) with respect to director nominations to be made at a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice, which includes a Public Announcement, is first given to shareholders by the Corporation of such special meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that, with respect to the foregoing clause (a) and subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, if the meeting is convened more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the prior year, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice, which includes a Public Announcement, is first given to shareholders by the Corporation of such annual meeting of shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there has been notice naming all of the nominees for director or indicating the increase in the size of the Board of Directors made by the Corporation given to the shareholders at least ten (10) days before the last day a shareholder may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with the preceding sentence, a shareholder’s notice required by this Bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice, which includes a Public Announcement, is first given to shareholders by the Corporation. In no event shall an adjournment, or postponement of an annual or a special meeting for which notice has been given, commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice. For director nominations to be made by a shareholder to be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice shall set forth in writing (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (iii) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person, and (iv) such other information relating to such person as is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or as otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any successor to such Regulation; and (b) as to such shareholder, (i) the information required by clauses (b)(i) and (ii) of the fourth paragraph of Section 2.04.2, (ii) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, and (iii) any interest of the shareholder in such nomination. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of (x) such proposed
12 nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation, including without limitation information to determine the independence of such nominee (or lack thereof) and/or information that could be material to a shareholder’s understanding of the nominee’s independence, or (y) the shareholder to nominate the proposed nominee. The presiding officer at an annual meeting or a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures or other requirements prescribed by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; and if the presiding officer should so determine, such presiding officer shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination(s) shall be disregarded. SECTION 2.13. Voting for Directors. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. In this Section 2.13, “plurality” shall mean that the individuals with the largest number of votes are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the election. Votes cast against a candidate are not given legal effect and are not counted as votes cast in an election of directors. SECTION 2.14. Conduct of Meetings. The Chair of the Board, and in the Chair’s absence, inability or refusal to act, the lead independent director (if any), and in the lead independent director’s absence, inability or refusal to act, the Chief Executive Officer, and in the absence, inability or refusal to act of each of the Chair of the Board, the lead independent director and the Chief Executive Officer, any person chosen by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting, provided that a quorum is present, shall call the meeting to order and shall act as chair of the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of all meetings of the shareholders, but, in the absence, inability or refusal to act of the Secretary, the chair of the meeting may appoint any other person to act as secretary of the meeting. An annual or special meeting may also be adjourned at any time, including after action on one or more matters, by the Chair of the Board, by the presiding officer of such meeting or by any duly authorized officer of the Corporation. The meeting may be adjourned for any purpose, including, but not limited to, allowing additional time to solicit votes on one or more matters, to disseminate additional information to shareholders or to count votes. Upon being reconvened, the adjourned meeting shall be deemed to be a continuation of the original meeting. SECTION 2.15. Polling. In the sole discretion of the presiding officer of an annual or special meeting of shareholders, polls may be closed at any time after commencement of any annual or special meeting. When there are several matters to be considered at a meeting, the polls may remain open during the meeting as to any or all matters to be considered, as the presiding officer may declare. Polls will remain open as to matters to be considered at any adjournment of the meeting unless the presiding officer declares otherwise. After the polls close, no ballots, proxies or revocations or changes to ballots, proxies or votes shall be accepted.
13 ARTICLE III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECTION 3.01. General Powers. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the Board of Directors subject to any limitation set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. SECTION 3.02. Number, Qualifications and Waiver of Qualifications, and Tenure of Directors. 3.02.1. Number. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the authorized number of directors (exclusive of directors, if any, elected by the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, voting separately as a series pursuant to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation) shall not be less than one nor more than fifteen and shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of all of the directors then in office. 3.02.2. Qualifications and Waiver of Qualifications. (a) No individual (including an individual to be elected to fill a vacancy) shall qualify for nomination, election (including re-election) or service as a director unless such individual has been nominated in accordance with Section 2.12 of these Bylaws and such individual satisfies each of the qualifications set forth in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), below, of this paragraph (a) of this Section 3.02.2. (i) Such individual cannot be seventy-four (74) years or older at any time during the term of office for which such individual would be elected as a director; provided, however, that an individual shall not be disqualified by reason of this qualification, from continuing to serve as a director until the next annual meeting of shareholders following such director’s attainment of age 74. (ii) Such individual cannot be a Material Customer or a Material Supplier, a director or an employee of a Material Customer or Material Supplier, or the owner, directly or indirectly, of more than five per cent (5%) of the outstanding stock or other equity interests, as the case may be, of any entity which is a Material Customer or Material Supplier. For purposes of the foregoing provision, “Material Customer” and “Material Supplier” shall mean, respectively, an entity which, together with its affiliates, represents more than five percent (5%) of the consolidated revenue of the Corporation and its affiliates or which, together with its affiliates, derives more than five percent (5%) of its consolidated revenue from the Corporation and its affiliates. (iii) Such individual cannot have a Material Disability. For purposes of the foregoing provision, “Material Disability” shall have such
14 meaning as is provided in the policies of the Board of Directors from time to time in effect or, if such policies do not provide for any such definition, “Material Disability” shall mean the permanent or temporary disability of an individual such that the individual is unable, or it is apparent to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that the individual will be unable, by reason of illness or incapacity, to perform the duties of the office of director to which it is proposed the individual be nominated or in which the individual is then serving for a period of nine (9) consecutive months or an aggregate of twelve (12) months within any 18-month period. A determination as to whether an individual suffers such permanent or temporary disability shall be made, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors constituting the full Board of Directors (exclusive of the individual with respect to which such determination is to be made if such individual then is a director) to seek such determination, by a physician agreed upon by such individual and the Board of Directors (exclusive of such individual if such individual then is a director) or, if they cannot so agree, by a physician designated by the President of the Brown County, Wisconsin Medical Society and the determination of such physician shall be conclusive. Such individual shall be conclusively presumed to have a Material Disability unless such individual submits to such examinations and provides such information as any such physician may request. (iv) Such individual cannot be an officer of any entity of which any other director is a director. Such individual cannot be a director of any entity of which any other director is an officer. (v) Such individual’s nomination for election as director has been so approved by the affirmative unanimous vote of the directors constituting the full Board of Directors, after taking into consideration the desire to avoid the concentration of retirements of directors who serve as members of the Corporate Governance Committee, if such individual has served as a director for more than fourteen (14) full consecutive fiscal years of the Corporation. (vi) Such individual fits within the limitations on voting for directors imposed upon the trustees of the 1995 Voting Trust (as defined in Section 7.02.2) set forth in Section 4.3 thereof. (b) A director need not be a resident of the state of Wisconsin or a shareholder of the Corporation except if required by the Articles of Incorporation. 3.02.3. Tenure. A director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal from office. Despite the expiration of a director’s term, the director shall continue to serve following such expiration until such director’s successor
15 shall be duly elected and shall qualify, until such director resigns or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. 3.02.4. Election. Notwithstanding Section 2.13, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Articles of Incorporation applicable thereto. Directors so elected shall not be divided into classes unless expressly provided by such Articles, and during the prescribed terms of office of such directors, the Board of Directors shall consist of such directors in addition to the number of directors determined as provided in Section 3.02.1. SECTION 3.03. Regular Meeting. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without other notice than this Bylaw immediately after the annual meeting of shareholders. If the annual meeting of shareholders was held at a place, such meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held at the same place. The Chair of the Board, by written notice, or in the Chair’s absence, the Chief Executive Officer, by written notice, or in the absence of both the Chair of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors, by resolution, may fix the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such written notice or resolution. Any such regular meeting may be held in accordance with Section 3.07. SECTION 3.04. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chair of the Board, the lead independent director (if any) or the Chief Executive Officer. The person or persons calling special meetings of the Board of Directors in accordance with the foregoing provision may fix any place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by such person or persons. Any such special meeting may be held in accordance with Section 3.07. SECTION 3.05. Notice of, and Waiver of Notice for, Special Meetings. Notice of meetings, except for regular meetings, shall be given at least two (2) days prior to the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee and shall state the date, time and place of such meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or committee need be specified in the notice of such meeting. Notice may be communicated in person, by mail or other method of delivery, by telephone, including voice mail, answering machine or answering service or by any other electronic means. Written notice, which includes notice by electronic transmission, is effective at the earliest of the following: (1) when received; (2) on the date shown on the return receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee; (3) two (2) days after it is deposited with a private carrier; or (4) when electronically transmitted. Oral notice is deemed effective when communicated. Facsimile notice is deemed effective when sent. A director may waive any notice required by the WBCL, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver shall be in writing, signed by the director entitled to the notice and retained by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director’s attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to such director of the meeting unless the director at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon
16 such director’s arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. SECTION 3.06. Quorum and Votes. 3.06.1. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or the WBCL, a majority of the number of directors fixed in accordance with Section 3.02, or appointed by the Board of Directors to a committee, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors or committee; provided, however, that even though less than such quorum is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. 3.06.2. Votes. The affirmative vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present when the vote is taken shall be the act of the Board of Directors or committee unless the WBCL, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws require the vote of a greater number of directors. SECTION 3.07. Meetings; Assent. 3.07.1. Meetings by Telephone or Otherwise. Any or all directors may participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting and all communication during the meeting is immediately transmitted to each participating director and each participating director is able to immediately send messages to all other participating directors. If the meeting is to be conducted through the use of any such means of communication all participating directors must be informed that a meeting is taking place at which official business may be transacted. A director participating in a meeting by any such means of communication is deemed to be present in person at the meeting. 3.07.2. Presumption of Assent. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless: (a) such director objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon such director’s arrival) to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; or (b) such director dissents or abstains from the action taken and minutes of the meeting are prepared that show such director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken; or (c) such director delivers written notice of such director’s dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the Corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting; or (d) such director dissents or abstains from the action taken and minutes of the meeting are prepared that fail to show such director’s dissent or abstention and such director delivers written notice of that failure to the Corporation promptly after receiving the minutes. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken. SECTION 3.08. Director Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted by the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or any provision of law to be taken by the Board of
17 Directors or a committee at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all of the directors or committee members then in office. The action shall be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by each director and retained by the Corporation. Any such consent is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. One or more of such written consents signed by all of the directors in accordance with this Section 3.08 has the effect of a unanimous vote taken at a meeting at which all directors were present and may be described as such in any document. SECTION 3.09. Removal and Resignation of Directors. 3.09.1. Removal. The shareholders may remove one or more directors only at a meeting called for that purpose if notice has been given to the shareholders that a purpose of the meeting is such removal. The removal may be with or without cause. If a director is elected by a voting group, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove that director.

The undertaking shall be unsecured. SECTION 5.05. Additional Rights to Indemnification and Allowance of Expenses. 5.05.1. Provision of Additional Rights.

27 Officer did not breach or fail to perform a duty such Director or Officer owes to the Corporation which constitutes conduct under Section 5.02.2. A Director or Officer who is a Party to the same or related Proceeding for which indemnification or an allowance of Expenses is sought may not participate in a determination under this Section 5.05.2. 5.05.3.

SECTION 5.09. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is a Director or Officer against any Liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in any such capacity or arising out of such Director’s or Officer’s status as such, regardless of whether the Corporation is required or authorized to indemnify or allow expenses to the individual under this Article V. SECTION 5.10. Severability. If this Article V or any portion thereof is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation shall indemnify the Director or

Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of (i) Options, (ii) SARs, (iii) Restricted Shares, (iv) RSUs, (v) Performance Compensation Awards, (vi) Performance Units, (vii) Cash Incentive Awards, (viii) Deferred Share Units and (ix) other equity-based or equity-related Awards that the Committee determines are consistent with the purpose of the Plan and the interests of the Company. Awards may be granted in tandem with other Awards. No Incentive Stock Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option that may be assumed or granted by the Company in connection with a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies) may be granted to a person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. (b) Options. (i) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and plenary authority to determine (A) the Participants to whom Options shall be granted, (B) the number of Shares subject to each Option to be granted to each Participant, (C) whether each Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option and (D) the terms and conditions of each Option, including the vesting criteria, term, methods of exercise and methods and form of settlement. In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the terms and conditions of such grants shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code and any regulations related thereto, as may be amended from time to time. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. If an Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and if, for any reason, such Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan; provided that such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan’s requirements relating to Nonqualified Stock Options. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares for which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. (ii) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of each Share covered by each Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share, determined as of the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that the Exercise Price of each Share covered by a Substitute Award granted as an Option shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share as of the date of the assumption or substitution of such Option;
12 provided, further, that in the case of each Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, immediately before the grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate, the per- Share Exercise Price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant. (iii) Vesting and Exercise. Each Option shall be vested and exercisable at such times, in such manner and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement or thereafter. Except as otherwise specified by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, each Option may only be exercised to the extent that it has already vested at the time of exercise. The vesting schedule shall be specified by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement. Each Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written or electronic notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment pursuant to Section 6(b)(iv) for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised has been received by the Company. Exercise of each Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares that thereafter may be available for sale under the Option and, except as expressly set forth in Sections 4(a) and 4(c), in the number of Shares that may be available for purposes of the Plan, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. The Committee may impose such conditions with respect to the exercise of each Option, including any conditions relating to the application of Federal, state, non-U.S. or local securities laws, as it may deem necessary or advisable. (iv) Payment. (A) No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company, and the Participant has paid to the Company (or the Company has withheld in accordance with Section 9(d)) an amount equal to any Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment taxes required to be withheld. Such payments may be made in cash (or its equivalent) or, in the Committee’s discretion, (1) by exchanging Shares owned by the Participant (which are not the subject of any pledge or other security interest), (2) if there shall be a public market for the Shares at such time, subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee, through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver cash promptly to the Company, (3) by having the Company withhold Shares from the Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Option (for the avoidance of doubt, the Shares withheld shall not count against the maximum number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to the Awards granted under the Plan (other than with respect to the Plan ISO Limit) as provided in Section 4(a)) or (4) through any other method (or combination of methods) as approved by the Committee; provided that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any such Shares so tendered to the Company, together with any Shares withheld by the Company in accordance with this Section 6(b)(iv) or Section 9(d), as of the date of such tender, is at least equal to such aggregate Exercise Price and the amount of any Federal, state, local or foreign income or employment taxes required to be withheld, if applicable.
13 (B) Wherever in the Plan or any Award Agreement a Participant is permitted to pay the Exercise Price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such Shares, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option. (v) Expiration. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, each Option shall expire immediately, without any payment, upon the earlier of (A) the tenth anniversary of the date the Option is granted (or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, immediately before the grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate, the fifth anniversary of the date the Option is granted) and (B) 90 days after the date the Participant who is holding the Option ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or one of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Option (other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option) would expire at a time when trading in the Shares is prohibited by the Company’s securities trading policy or Company-imposed “blackout period”, the expiration date shall be automatically extended until the 30th day following the expiration of such prohibition (so long as such extension shall not violate Section 409A of the Code). (c) SARs. (i) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and plenary authority to determine (A) the Participants to whom SARs shall be granted, (B) the number of SARs to be granted to each Participant, (C) the Exercise Price thereof and (D) the terms and conditions of each SAR, including the vesting criteria, term, methods of exercise and methods and form of settlement. (ii) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of each Share covered by a SAR shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share (determined as of the date the SAR is granted); provided, however, that the Exercise Price of each Share covered by a Substitute Award granted as a SAR shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share as of the date of the assumption or substitution of such SAR. (iii) Vesting and Exercise. Each SAR shall entitle the Participant to receive an amount upon exercise equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise of the SAR over the Exercise Price thereof. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether a SAR shall be settled in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property or a combination of any of the foregoing. Each SAR shall be vested and exercisable at such time, in such manner and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement or thereafter. The vesting schedule shall be specified by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement.
14 (iv) Substitution SARs. The Committee shall have the ability to substitute, without the consent of the affected Participant or any holder or beneficiary of SARs, SARs settled in Shares (or SARs settled in Shares or cash in the Committee’s discretion) (“Substitution SARs”) for outstanding Nonqualified Stock Options (“Substituted Options”); provided that (A) the substitution shall not otherwise result in a modification of the terms of any Substituted Option, (B) the number of Shares underlying the Substitution SARs shall be the same as the number of Shares underlying the Substituted Options and (C) the Exercise Price of the Substitution SARs shall be equal to the Exercise Price of the Substituted Options. If, in the opinion of the Company’s auditors, this provision creates adverse accounting consequences for the Company, it shall be considered null and void. (v) Expiration. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, each SAR shall expire immediately, without any payment, upon the earlier of (A) the tenth anniversary of the date the SAR is granted and (B) 90 days after the date the Participant who is holding the Option ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or one of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a SAR would expire at a time when trading in the Shares is prohibited by the Company’s securities trading policy or Company-imposed “blackout period”, the expiration date shall be automatically extended until the 30th day following the expiration of such prohibition (so long as such extension shall not violate Section 409A of the Code). (d) Restricted Shares and RSUs. (i) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and plenary authority to determine (A) the Participants to whom Restricted Shares and RSUs shall be granted, (B) the number of Restricted Shares and RSUs to be granted to each Participant, (C) the duration of the period during which, and the conditions, if any, under which, the Restricted Shares and RSUs may vest or may be forfeited to the Company and (D) the terms and conditions of each such Award, including the vesting criteria, term and methods and form of settlement. (ii) Transfer Restrictions. Restricted Shares and RSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered except as provided in the Plan or as may be provided in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that Restricted Shares and RSUs may be transferred by the Participant for no consideration. Each Restricted Share may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Shares are registered in the name of the applicable Participant, such certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of such certificates until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse. (iii) Payment/Lapse of Restrictions. Each RSU shall be granted with respect to a specified number of Shares (or a number of Shares determined pursuant to a specified formula) or shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares (or a number of Shares determined pursuant to a specified formula).
15 RSUs shall be paid in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, as determined in the discretion of the Committee, upon the lapse of restrictions applicable thereto, or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement. The vesting schedule shall be specified by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement. (e) Performance Compensation Awards. (i) General. The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of any Award, to provide that such Award shall be subject to the achievement of one or more Performance Goals in accordance with this Section 6(e), such awards “Performance Compensation Awards.”. (ii) Discretion of the Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have discretion to select (A) the length of such Performance Period, (B) the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards to be granted, (C) the Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), (D) the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goals(s) that is (are) to apply to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing, and (E) the Performance Formula. (iii) Performance Criteria. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Performance Criteria that shall be used to establish the Performance Goal(s) with respect to Performance Compensation Awards shall be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing, and may include, but are not limited to, the following (or any combination of the following): (A) share price; (B) net income or earnings or loss before or after taxes (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization), including cumulative compound net income growth rate; (C) operating income or earnings, (D) earnings per share (including specified types or categories thereof); (E) cash flow (including specified types or categories thereof); (F) revenues (including specified types or categories thereof); (G) return on invested capital, return on equity or other return measures (including specified types or categories thereof); (H) appreciation in or maintenance of the price of the Shares or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company, or other shareholder return measures (including specified types or categories thereof); (I) return on sale, sales or product volume; (J) working capital; (K) gross, operating or net profitability or profit margins (including profitability of an identifiable business unit or product); (L) objective measures of productivity or operating efficiency; (M) costs or reduction in costs (including specified types or categories thereof); (N) expenses (including specified types or categories thereof); (O) product unit and pricing targets; (P) premiums written and sales of particular products; (Q) combined ratio; (R) operating ratio; (S) leverage ratio; (T) credit rating; (U) borrowing levels; (V) market share (in the aggregate or by segment); (W) level or amount of acquisitions; (X) economic value; (Y) enterprise value; (Z) book, economic book or intrinsic book value (including book value per share); (AA) improvements in capital structure; (BB) underwriting income or profit; (CC) underwriting return on capital; (DD) underwriting return on equity; (EE) customer satisfaction survey results; (FF) implementation or completion of critical projects; (GG) safety and accident rates; (HH) days sales outstanding; (II) contribution margins; and (JJ)
16 any other object or subjective measure as approved by the Committee. Any Performance Criteria that are financial metrics may be determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) or may be adjusted to include or exclude any items otherwise includable or excludable under GAAP. Performance Criteria may be applied on an absolute basis, be relative to one or more peer companies of the Company or indices or any combination thereof or, if applicable, be computed on an accrual or cash accounting basis. (iv) Modification of Performance Goals. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render the applicable Performance Goals unsuitable or requires an adjustment to the Performance Goals or achievement with respect to the Performance Goals, the Committee may in its discretion modify such Performance Goals or the actual levels of achievement regarding the Performance Goals, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate and equitable. Without limiting the foregoing, in establishing a Performance Goal or determining the achievement of a Performance Goal, the Committee may provide that achievement of the applicable Performance Goal may be amended or adjusted to include or exclude components of any Performance Goal, including, without limitation, foreign exchange gains and losses, asset write-downs, acquisitions and divestitures, change in fiscal year, unbudgeted capital expenditures, special charges such as restructuring or impairment charges, debt refinancing costs, extraordinary or noncash items, unusual, infrequently occurring, nonrecurring or one- time events affecting the Company or its financial statements or changes in law or accounting principles. Performance Goals shall be subject to such other special rules and conditions as the Committee may establish at any time. (f) Performance Units. (i) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and plenary authority to determine the Participants to whom Performance Units shall be granted. (ii) Value of Performance Units. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. The Committee shall set Performance Goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met during a Performance Period, will determine the number and/or value of Performance Units that will be paid out to the Participant. (iii) Earning of Performance Units. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units shall be entitled to receive a payout of the number and value of Performance Units earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, as a function of the extent to which the corresponding Performance Goals have been achieved. (iv) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, in its discretion, may pay earned Performance Units in the form of cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) that have an
17 aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units at the close of the applicable Performance Period. Such Shares may be granted subject to any restrictions in the applicable Award Agreement deemed appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form and timing of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. (g) Cash Incentive Awards. (i) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, in its discretion, shall have the authority to determine (A) the Participants to whom Cash Incentive Awards shall be granted, (B) the amount of Cash Incentive Awards to be granted to each Participant, (C) the duration of the period during which, and the conditions, if any, under which, the Cash Incentive Awards may vest or may be forfeited to the Company and (D) the other terms and conditions of each Cash Incentive Award. Each Cash Incentive Award shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. The Committee shall set performance goals or other payment conditions in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met during a specified performance period, shall determine the amount and/or value of the Cash Incentive Award that shall be paid to the Participant. (ii) Earning of Cash Incentive Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, after the applicable vesting period has ended, the holder of a Cash Incentive Award shall be entitled to receive a payout of the amount of the Cash Incentive Award earned by the Participant over the specified performance period, to be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals or other conditions to payment have been achieved. (h) Other Stock-Based Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the sole and plenary authority to grant to Participants other equity- based or equity-related Awards (including Deferred Share Units and fully vested Shares) (whether payable in cash, equity or otherwise) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine; provided that any such Awards must comply, to the extent deemed desirable by the Committee, with Rule 16b-3 and applicable law. (i) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. In the discretion of the Committee, an Award, other than an Option, SAR or Cash Incentive Award, may provide the Participant with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its discretion, including (i) payment directly to the Participant, (ii) withholding of such amounts by the Company subject to vesting of the Award or (iii) reinvestment in additional Shares, Restricted Shares or other Awards; provided, however, that that no dividend or dividend equivalent granted in connection with an Award shall provide for payment prior to the date such Award vests or is earned, as applicable. SECTION 7. Amendment and Termination. (a) Amendments to the Plan. Subject to any applicable law or government regulation and to the rules of the Applicable Exchange, the Plan may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board
18 without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, except that stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that would (i) increase either the Plan Share Limit or the Plan ISO Limit, (ii) change the class of employees or other individuals eligible to participate in the Plan or (iii) result in the amendment, cancellation or action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the second sentence of Section 7(b) being permitted without the approval by the Company’s stockholders; provided, however, that any adjustment under Section 4(b) shall not constitute an increase for purposes of this Section 7(a)(i). No amendment, modification or termination of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any Award shall theretofore have been granted, materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant (or his or her transferee) under such Award, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement. (b) Amendments to Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively; provided, however, that, except as set forth in the Plan, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancelation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the applicable Participant, holder or beneficiary. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event may any Option or SAR (i) be amended to decrease the Exercise Price thereof, (ii) be canceled at a time when its Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares in exchange for another Option or SAR or any Restricted Share, RSU, other equity-based Award, award under any other equity-compensation plan or any cash payment or (iii) be subject to any action that would be treated, for accounting purposes, as a “repricing” of such Option or SAR, unless such amendment, cancelation or action is approved by the Company’s stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment to the Exercise Price of an Option or SAR that is made in accordance with Section 4(b) or Section 8 shall not be considered a reduction in Exercise Price or “repricing” of such Option or SAR. SECTION 8. Change of Control. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control in which no provision is made for (1) assumption of Awards previously granted or (2) substitution for such Awards of new awards covering stock of a successor corporation or its “parent corporation” (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or “subsidiary corporation” (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and the Exercise Prices, if applicable, (i) any outstanding Options or SARs then held by Participants that are unexercisable or otherwise unvested shall automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to such Change of Control, and in accordance with Section 4(b), the Committee shall have authority to (A) make provision for a cash payment to the holder of such Option or SAR in consideration for the cancelation of such Option or SAR in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the Shares subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price of such Option or SAR or (B) if
19 deemed appropriate or desirable by the Committee, cancel and terminate any Option or SAR having a per-Share Exercise Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a Share subject to such Option or SAR (as of a date specified by the Committee) without any payment or consideration therefor, (ii) all Performance Units, Cash Incentive Awards, Awards designated as Performance Compensation Awards and other performance-based Awards shall automatically vest as of immediately prior to such Change of Control as if the date of the Change of Control were the last day of the applicable Performance Period, at either the target or actual level of performance (as determined by the Committee or set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), and shall be paid out as soon as practicable following such Change of Control (in cash, securities or other property), and (iii) all other outstanding Awards (i.e., other than Options, SARs, Performance Units, Cash Incentive Awards, Awards designated as Performance Compensation Awards or other performance-based Awards) then held by Participants that are unexercisable, unvested or still subject to restrictions or forfeiture, shall automatically be deemed exercisable and vested and all restrictions and forfeiture provisions related thereto shall lapse as of immediately prior to such Change of Control and shall be paid out (in cash, securities or other property) within 30 days following such Change of Control or such later date as may be required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. (b) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if within 24 months following a Change of Control in which the acquirer assumes Awards previously granted or substitutes Awards for new awards covering stock of a successor corporation or its “parent corporation” (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or “subsidiary corporation” (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and the Exercise Prices, if applicable, a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), (i) any outstanding Options or SARs then held by such Participant that are unexercisable or otherwise unvested shall automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested, as the case may be, as of the date of such termination, and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the expiration of the existing term of such Option or SAR or 90 days following the date of such termination, (ii) all Performance Units, Cash Incentive Awards, Awards designated as Performance Compensation Awards and other performance-based Awards then held by such Participant shall automatically vest as of the date of such termination, as if such date were the last day of the applicable Performance Period, at either the target or actual level of performance (as determined by the Committee or set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), and such deemed earned amount shall be paid out as soon as practicable following such termination (in cash, securities or other property), and (iii) all other outstanding Awards (i.e., other than Options, SARs, Performance Units, Cash Incentive Awards, Awards designated as Performance Compensation Awards or other performance-based Awards) then held by such Participant that are unexercisable, unvested or still subject to restrictions or forfeiture, shall automatically be deemed exercisable and vested and all restrictions and forfeiture provisions related thereto shall lapse as of the date of such termination and shall be paid out (in cash, securities or other property) as soon as practicable following such date of termination.
20 SECTION 9. General Provisions. (a) Nontransferability. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement, during the Participant’s lifetime, each Award (and any rights and obligations thereunder) shall be exercisable only by the Participant, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative, and no Award (or any rights and obligations thereunder) may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that (i) the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance and (ii) the Board or the Committee may permit further transferability, on a general or specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options shall not be transferable in any way that would violate Section 1.422-2(a)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and in no event may any Award (or any rights and obligations thereunder) be transferred in any way in exchange for value. All terms and conditions of the Plan and all Award Agreements shall be binding upon any permitted successors and assigns. (b) No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. (c) Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities of the Company or any Affiliate 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 under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, the Applicable Exchange and any applicable Federal or state, non-U.S. or local laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares granted in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). (d) Withholding. (i) Authority to Withhold. A Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.
21 (ii) Alternative Ways to Satisfy Withholding Liability. Without limiting the generality of Section 9(d)(i), subject to the Committee’s discretion, a Participant may satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by delivery of Shares owned by the Participant (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability or by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Option or SAR, or the lapse of the restrictions on any other Award (in the case of SARs and other Awards, if such SARs and other Awards are settled in Shares), a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability. Withholding by the Company shall be at no more than the minimum applicable tax withholding rate or, if permitted by the Committee, such other rate as is permitted under applicable withholding rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service or another applicable governmental entity. (e) Section 409A. (i) It is intended that the provisions of the Plan comply with Section 409A of the Code, and all provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. (ii) No Participant or the creditors or beneficiaries of a Participant shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under the Plan to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to any Participant or for the benefit of any Participant under the Plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by any such Participant to the Company or any of its Affiliates. (iii) If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (A) such Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (B) the Company shall make a good-faith determination that an amount payable pursuant to an Award constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it on the first business day after such six-month period. Such amount shall be paid without interest, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its discretion, or as otherwise provided in any applicable employment agreement between the Company and the relevant Participant. (iv) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to any Award as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Participant shall be solely responsible and liable for the
22 satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on such Participant or for such Participant’s account in connection with an Award (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. (f) Award Agreements. Each Award hereunder (other than a Cash Incentive Award) shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including the effect on such Award of the death, disability or termination of employment or service of a Participant and the effect, if any, of such other events as may be determined by the Committee. (g) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the grant of options, restricted stock, shares, other types of equity-based awards (subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required) and cash incentive awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. (h) No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as a director, officer, employee or consultant of or to the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall it be construed as giving a Participant any rights to continued service on the Board. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any directorship or consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. (i) No Rights as Stockholder. No Participant or holder or beneficiary of any Award 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 of such Shares. In connection with each grant of Restricted Shares, except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall be entitled to the rights of a stockholder (including the right to vote) in respect of such Restricted Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b) or the applicable Award Agreement, no adjustments shall be made for dividends or distributions on (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, Shares, other securities or other property), or other events relating to, Shares subject to an Award for which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are delivered. (j) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. (k) 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 as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable
23 by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. (l) Other Laws; Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Committee may refuse to deliver or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the U.S. Federal and any other applicable securities laws. (m) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and a Participant or any other Person, on the other. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or such Affiliate. (n) Clawback/Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Award Agreement may provide that the Committee may cancel such Award if the Participant, without the consent of the Company, has engaged in or engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interest of the Company or any Affiliate while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate, including fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, or violates a non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement or non-disclosure covenant or agreement with the Company or any Affiliate, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may also provide in an Award Agreement that in such event, the Participant will forfeit any compensation, gain or other value realized thereafter on the vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award, the sale or other transfer of such Award, or the sale of Shares acquired in respect of such Award, and must promptly repay such amounts to the Company. The Committee may also provide in an Award Agreement that if the Participant receives any amount in excess of what the Participant should have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), all as determined by the Committee, then the Participant shall be required to promptly repay any such excess amount to the Company. To the extent required by applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and/or the rules and
24 regulations of the Applicable Exchange, or if so required pursuant to a written policy adopted by the Company, Awards shall be subject (including on a retroactive basis) to clawback, forfeiture or similar requirements (and such requirements shall be deemed incorporated by reference into all outstanding Award Agreements). (o) No Fractional Shares. Except as otherwise approved by the Committee, no fractional Shares shall be granted or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. (p) Requirement of Consent and Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code or Similar Provision. No election under Section 83(b) of the Code (to include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code) or under a similar provision of law may be made unless expressly permitted by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by action of the Committee in writing prior to the making of such election. If an Award recipient, in connection with the acquisition of Shares under the Plan or otherwise, is expressly permitted under the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by such Committee action to make such an election and the Participant makes the election, the Participant shall notify the Committee of such election within ten days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service (or any successor thereto) or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code or any other applicable provision. (q) Requirement of Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition under Section 421(b) of the Code. If any Participant shall make any disposition of Shares delivered pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions) or any successor provision of the Code, such Participant shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten days of such disposition. (r) Headings and Construction. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in the Plan, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “but not limited to”, and the word “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive. SECTION 10. Term of the Plan. (a) Effective Date. The Plan was originally effective as of the date of its adoption by the Board in 2017 and it was previously approved by the Company’s shareholders prior to the Company’s initial public offering. The Plan, as amended and restated, shall be effective on the date it is approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting.
25 (b) Expiration Date. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan, as amended and restated, is approved by the Company’s stockholders under Section 10(a). Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted hereunder, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, shall nevertheless continue thereafter.
