1.2 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to promote and advance the interests of Corporation and its shareholders by enabling Corporation to attract, retain, and reward key employees, directors, and outside consultants of Corporation and its subsidiaries. It is also intended to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such employees, directors, and consultants and Corporation’s shareholders. The Plan is designed to serve these purposes by offering stock options and other equity-based incentive awards, thereby providing a proprietary interest in pursuing the long-term growth, profitability, and financial success of Corporation.

Stock Option Plan for California Residents and the Barrett Business Services, Inc., 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and related Barrett Business Services, Inc., Stock Incentive Plan for California Residents (the “Prior Plans”). The adoption of the Plan will neither affect nor be affected by the continued existence of the Prior Plans, except that after the effective date of the Plan, no further Awards will be granted under the Prior Plans.

1.4 Reservation of Right to Amend to Comply with Section 409A. The Board reserves the right to amend the Plan, either retroactively or prospectively, in whatever respect is required to achieve and maintain compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the regulations and guidance issued by the Department of the Treasury with respect to such requirements (“Section 409A”).

DURATION OF THE PLAN AND SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

4.1 Duration of the Plan. The Plan is effective May 13, 2009, subject to approval by Corporation’s shareholders as provided in Article 15. The Plan will remain in effect until Awards have been granted covering all the available Shares or the Plan is otherwise terminated by the Board.

If an Award under the Plan is canceled or expires for any reason prior to having been fully Vested or exercised by a Participant or is settled in cash in lieu of Shares or is exchanged for other Awards, all Shares covered by such Awards will be added back into the number of Shares available for future Awards under the Plan.

AWARDS

6.1 Types of Awards. The types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan are:

(a) Options governed by Article 7 of the Plan;

(b) Stock Appreciation Rights governed by Article 8 of the Plan;

(c) Restricted Share Awards governed by Article 9 of the Plan; and

(d) Other Stock-Based Awards or combination awards governed by Article 10 of the Plan.

- 6 -

In the discretion of the Committee, any Award may be granted alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan.

6.2 General. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may cause Corporation to grant Awards to such Participants, at such times, of such types, in such amounts, for such periods, with such option prices, purchase prices, or base prices, and subject to such terms, conditions, limitations, and restrictions as the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate. Awards may be granted as additional compensation to a Participant or in lieu of other compensation to such Participant. A Participant may receive more than one Award and more than one type of Award under the Plan.

6.3 Nonuniform Determinations. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan or under one or more Award Agreements, including, without limitation, (a) the selection of Participants to receive Awards, (b) the type, form, amount, and timing of Awards, (c) the terms of specific Award Agreements, and (d) elections and determinations made by the Committee with respect to exercise or payments of Awards, need not be uniform and may be made by the Committee selectively among Participants and Awards, whether or not Participants are similarly situated.

6.4 Award Agreements. Each Award will be evidenced by a written Award Agreement between Corporation and the Participant. Award Agreements may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, contain any provision approved by the Committee.

6.5 Prohibition on Repricing of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Except for adjustments pursuant to Article 12 hereof, at no time shall the exercise price of an Option or the base price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder be subsequently repriced during the period of its exercisability. For purposes of this Section 6.5, repricing means any of the following or any other action that has the same effect:

(a) Lowering the exercise or base price after the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is granted;

(b) Any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles; or

(c) Canceling an Option or Stock Appreciation Right at a time when its exercise or base price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, in exchange for cash or an Other Stock-Based Award, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a merger, acquisition, spin-off or other similar corporate transaction.

- 7 -

6.6 Provisions Governing All Awards. All Awards are subject to the following provisions:

(a) Alternative Awards. If any Awards are designated in their Award Agreements as alternative to each other, the exercise of all or part of one Award will automatically cause an immediate equal (or pro rata) corresponding termination of the other alternative Award or Awards.

(b) Rights as Shareholders. No Participant will have any rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to an Award until such Shares are issued in the name of the Participant.

(c) Employment Rights. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any Award confers on any person the right to continued employment with Corporation or any Subsidiary or the right to remain as a director of or a Consultant to Corporation or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, nor does it interfere in any way with the right of Corporation or a Subsidiary to terminate such person’s employment or to remove such person as a Consultant or as a director at any time for any reason, or for no reason, with or without cause.

(d) Restriction on Transfer. Unless otherwise expressly provided in an individual Award Agreement, no Award (other than Shares granted under a Restricted Share Award after they Vest) will be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and each Award will be exercisable (if exercise is required), during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, in the event the Participant becomes legally incompetent, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement that the Award:

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Award Agreement may provide that the Award or the Shares subject to the Award may be surrendered to Corporation pursuant to Section 6.5(h) in connection with the payment of the purchase or option price of another Award or the payment of the Participant’s federal, state, or local tax withholding obligation with respect to the exercise or payment of another Award.

(e) Termination of Employment. The terms and conditions under which an Award may be exercised, if at all, after a Participant’s termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant will be determined by the Committee and specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

- 8 -

(f) Change in Control. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement that:

(i) In the event of a change in control of Corporation (as the Committee may define such term in the Award Agreement), all or a specified portion of the Award (to the extent then outstanding) will become immediately Vested in full to the extent not previously Vested. Any such acceleration of Award Vesting must comply with applicable regulatory requirements and any Participant will be entitled to decline the accelerated Vesting of all or any portion of his or her Award, if he or she determines that such acceleration may result in adverse tax consequences to him or her; and

(ii) In the event the Board approves a proposal for: (i) a merger, exchange or consolidation transaction in which Corporation is not the resulting or surviving corporation (or in which Corporation is the resulting or surviving corporation but becomes a subsidiary of another corporation); (ii) the transfer of all or substantially all the assets of Corporation; (iii) a sale of 30 percent or more of the combined voting power of Corporation’s voting securities; or (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of Corporation (each, a “Transaction”), the Committee will notify Participants in writing of the proposed Transaction (the “Proposal Notice”) at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transaction. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, and to the extent possible under the structure of the Transaction, select one of the following alternatives for treating outstanding Awards under the Plan:

(A) The Committee may provide that outstanding Awards will be converted into or replaced by Awards of a similar type in the stock of the surviving or acquiring corporation in the Transaction. The amount and type of securities subject to and the exercise price (if applicable) of the replacement or converted Awards will be determined by the Committee based on the exchange ratio, if any, used in determining shares of the surviving corporation to be issued to holders of Shares of Corporation. If there is no exchange ratio in the Transaction, the Committee will, in making its determination, take into account the relative values of the companies involved in the Transaction and such other factors as the Committee deems relevant. Such replacement or converted Awards will continue to Vest over the period (and at the same rate) as the Awards which the replacement or converted Awards replaced, unless determined otherwise by the Committee;

(B) The Committee may provide a 30-day period prior to the consummation of the Transaction during which all outstanding Awards will tentatively become fully Vested, and upon consummation of such Transaction, all outstanding and unexercised Awards will immediately terminate. If the Committee elects to provide such 30-day period for the exercise of Awards, the Proposal Notice must so state. Participants, by written notice to Corporation, may exercise their Awards and, in so

- 9 -

exercising the Awards, may condition such exercise upon, and provide that such exercise will become effective immediately prior to, the consummation of the Transaction, in which event Participants need not make payment for any Common Stock to be purchased upon exercise of an Award until five days after written notice by Corporation to the Participants that the Transaction has been consummated (the “Transaction Notice”). If the Transaction is consummated, each Award, to the extent not previously exercised prior to the consummation of the Transaction, will terminate and cease being exercisable as of the effective date of such consummation. If the Transaction is abandoned, (1) all outstanding Awards not exercised will continue to be Vested and exercisable, to the extent such Awards were Vested and exercisable prior to the date of the Proposal Notice, and (2) to the extent that any Awards not exercised prior to such abandonment have become Vested and exercisable solely by operation of this Section 6.6(f)(ii), such Vesting and exercisability will be deemed annulled, and the Vesting and exercisability provisions otherwise in effect will be reinstituted, as of the date of such abandonment; or

(C) The Committee may provide that outstanding Awards that are not fully Vested will become fully Vested subject to Corporation’s right to pay each Participant a cash amount (determined by the Committee and based on the amount, if any, being received by Corporation’s shareholders in the Transaction) in exchange for cancellation of the applicable Award.

Unless the Committee specifically provides otherwise in the change in control provision for a specific Award Agreement, Awards will become Vested as of a change in control date only if, or to the extent, such acceleration in the Vesting of the Awards does not result in an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code. The Committee, in its discretion, may include change in control provisions in some Award Agreements and not in others, may include different change in control provisions in different Award Agreements, and may include change in control provisions for some Awards or some Participants and not for others.

(g) Conditioning or Accelerating Benefits. The Committee, in its discretion, may include in any Award Agreement a provision conditioning or accelerating the Vesting of an Award or the receipt of benefits pursuant to an Award, either automatically or in the discretion of the Committee, upon the occurrence of specified events, including without limitation, a change in control of Corporation (subject to the foregoing paragraph (f)), a sale of all or substantially all of the property and assets of Corporation, or an event of the type described in Article 12 of this Plan.

(h) Payment of Purchase Price and Withholding. The Committee, in its discretion, may include in any Award Agreement a provision permitting the Participant to pay the purchase or option price, if any, for the Shares or other property issuable pursuant to the Award, or the Participant’s federal, state, or local tax withholding obligations with respect to such issuance in whole or in part by any one or more of the following methods;

- 10 -

provided, however, that the availability of any one or more methods of payment may be suspended from time to time if the Committee determines that the use of such payment method would result in adverse financial accounting treatment for Corporation or adverse tax treatment for Corporation or Participants:

(i) By delivering previously owned Shares (including fully Vested Shares granted under Restricted Share Awards);

(ii) By surrendering other outstanding Vested Awards under the Plan denominated in Shares or in Share equivalent units;

(iii) By reducing the number of Shares or other property otherwise Vested and issuable pursuant to the Award;

(iv) Unless specifically prohibited by any applicable statute or rule, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, by delivering to Corporation a promissory note payable on such terms and over such period as the Committee may determine;

(v) By delivery (in a form approved by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker acceptable to the Committee (subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any other applicable statute or rule):

(A) To sell Shares subject to the Award and to deliver all or a part of the sales proceeds to Corporation in payment of all or a part of the option or purchase price and taxes or withholding taxes attributable to the issuance; or

(B) To pledge Shares subject to the Award to the broker as security for a loan and to deliver all or a part of the loan proceeds to Corporation in payment of all or a part of the option or purchase price and taxes or withholding taxes attributable to the issuance; or

(vi) In any combination of the foregoing or in any other form approved by the Committee.

Shares withheld or surrendered as described above will be valued based on their Fair Market Value on the date of the transaction. Any Shares withheld or surrendered with respect to a Reporting Person will be subject to such additional conditions and limitations as the Committee may impose to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

(i) Reporting Persons. With respect to all Awards granted to Reporting Persons, the following limitations will apply only if or to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise:

(i) Awards requiring exercise will not be exercisable until at least six months after the date the Award was granted, except in the case of the death or Disability of the Participant; and

- 11 -

(ii) Shares issued pursuant to any other Award may not be sold by the Participant for at least six months after acquisition, except in the case of the death or Disability of the Participant.

Award Agreements for Awards to Reporting Persons must also comply with any future restrictions imposed by such Rule 16b-3.

(j) Service Periods. At the time of granting an Award, the Committee may specify, by resolution or in the Award Agreement, the period or periods of service performed or to be performed by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Award.

ARTICLE 7

OPTIONS

7.1 Types of Options. Options granted under the Plan may be in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Options. The grant of each Option and the Award Agreement governing each Option will identify the Option as an ISO or an NQO. In the event the Code is amended to provide for tax-favored forms of stock options other than or in addition to Incentive Stock Options, the Committee may grant Options under the Plan meeting the requirements of such forms of options.

7.2 General. All Options will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article 6 and this Article 7 and Award Agreements governing Options may contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, as the Committee deems desirable.

7.3 Option Price. Each Award Agreement for Options will state the option exercise price per Share of Common Stock purchasable under the Option, which may not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant for all Options.

7.4 Option Term. The Award Agreement for each Option will specify the term of each Option, which may be unlimited or may have a specified period during which the Option may be exercised, as determined by the Committee.

7.5 Time of Exercise. The Award Agreement for each Option will specify, as determined by the Committee:

(a) The time or times when the Option becomes exercisable and whether the Option will become exercisable in full or in graduated amounts based on: (i) continuation of employment over a period specified in the Award Agreement, (ii) satisfaction of performance goals or criteria specified in the Award Agreement, or (iii) a combination of continuation of employment and satisfaction of performance goals or criteria;

- 12 -

(b) Such other terms, conditions, and restrictions as to when the Option may be exercised as determined by the Committee; and

(c) The extent, if any, to which the Option will remain exercisable after the Participant ceases to be an employee, Consultant, or director of Corporation or a Subsidiary.

An Award Agreement for an Option may, in the discretion of the Committee, provide whether, and to what extent, the time when an Option becomes exercisable may be accelerated or otherwise modified (i) in the event of the death, Disability, or Retirement of the Participant, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a change in control of Corporation. The Committee may, at any time in its discretion, accelerate the time when all or any portion of an outstanding Option becomes exercisable.

7.6 Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options. In the case of an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option, the terms of the Option and the Award Agreement will conform with the statutory and regulatory requirements specified pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, as in effect on the date such ISO is granted, including but not limited to the following requirements:

(a) Limited to Employees. ISOs may be granted only to employees of Corporation or a Subsidiary;

(b) Term of ISO. The ISO may not remain exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from its grant date;

(c) Ten Percent Shareholders. In the case of any ISO granted to a Participant who, as of the date of grant, possesses more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Corporation or any parent or Subsidiary of Corporation, the option exercise price may not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant and the ISO may not remain exercisable after the expiration of five years from its grant date; and

(d) $100,000 Annual Limitation. In the event that Options intended to be ISOs are granted to a Participant in excess of the $100,000 annual limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d)(1), the Options will be bifurcated so that the Options will be ISOs to the maximum extent allowable under that limitation and will be NQOs as to any excess over that limitation.

7.7 Restricted Shares. In the discretion of the Committee, the Shares issuable upon exercise of an Option may have restrictions similar to Restricted Share Awards if so provided in the Award Agreement for the Option.

7.8 Limitation on Number of Shares Subject to Options. In no event may Options for more than 200,000 Shares be granted to any individual under the Plan during any calendar year.

Stock Appreciation Rights are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article 6 and this Article 8 and Award Agreements governing Stock Appreciation Rights may contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, as the Committee deems desirable.

8.2 Nature of Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling a Participant to receive an amount equal to the excess (or, if the Committee determines at the time of grant, a portion of the excess) of the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the base price, as described below, on the date of grant of the SAR, multiplied by the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is being exercised. The base price will be designated by the Committee in the Award Agreement for the SAR and may be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the grant date of the SAR or such other higher price as the Committee determines. The base price may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the grant date of the SAR.

8.3 Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. The Committee may also provide that a SAR will be automatically exercised on one or more specified dates or upon the satisfaction of one or more specified conditions.

8.4 Form of Payment. Payment upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash, in Shares, or in any combination of cash and Shares.

Each Participant receiving a Restricted Share Award will be issued a stock certificate in respect of such Shares, registered in the name of such Participant, and will execute a stock power in blank with respect to the Shares evidenced by such certificate.

9.3 Restriction Period. Award Agreements for Restricted Share Awards will provide that the Shares subject to Restricted Share Awards may not be transferred, and may provide that, in order for a Participant to Vest in such Restricted Share Awards, the Participant must remain in the employment (or remain as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant) of Corporation or its Subsidiaries, subject to relief for reasons specified in the Award Agreement, for a period commencing on the grant date of the Award and ending on such later date or dates as the Committee may designate at the time of the Award (the “Restriction Period”). During the Restriction Period, a Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of Shares received under a Restricted Share Award grant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments during the Restriction Period. Upon expiration of the applicable Restriction Period (or lapse of Restrictions during the Restriction Period where the Restrictions lapse in installments) the Participant will be entitled to settlement of the Restricted Share Award or portion thereof, as the case may be. Although Restricted Share Awards will typically Vest based on continued employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant), the Committee, in its discretion, may condition Vesting of Restricted Share Awards on attainment of designated performance goals as well as continued employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant). In such case, the Restriction Period for such a Restricted Share Award will include the period prior to satisfaction of the performance goals.

9.4 Forfeiture. If a Participant ceases to be an employee (or Consultant, Non-Employee Board Director, or Non-Employee Subsidiary Director) of Corporation or a Subsidiary during the Restriction Period for any reason other than reasons which may be specified in an Award Agreement (such as death, Disability, or Retirement), the Award Agreement may require that all non-Vested Shares previously granted to the Participant be forfeited and returned to Corporation.

9.5 Settlement of Restricted Share Awards. Upon Vesting of a Restricted Share Award, the legend on such Shares will be removed, the Participant’s stock power will be returned and the Shares will no longer be Restricted Shares.

9.6 Rights as a Shareholder. A Participant has, with respect to unforfeited Shares received under a Restricted Share Award grant, all the rights of a shareholder of Corporation, including the right to vote the Shares, and the right to receive any cash dividends. Stock dividends issued with respect to non-Vested Shares granted under a Restricted Share Award will be treated as additional Shares covered by the Restricted Share Award and will be subject to the same Restrictions.

OTHER STOCK-BASED AND COMBINATION AWARDS

10.1 Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant other Awards under the Plan pursuant to which Shares are or may in the future be acquired, or Awards denominated in or measured by Share equivalent units, including Awards valued using measures other than the market value of Shares. Other Stock-Based Awards are not restricted to any specific form or structure and may include, without limitation, Share purchase warrants, other rights to acquire Shares, and securities convertible into or redeemable for Shares. Such Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other type of Award granted under the Plan.

The Committee may also grant Awards under the Plan in tandem or combination with other Awards or in exchange of Awards, or in tandem or combination with, or as alternatives to, grants or rights under any other employee plan of Corporation, including the plan of any acquired entity. No action authorized by this Section will reduce the amount of any existing benefits or change the terms and conditions thereof without the Participant’s consent.

ARTICLE 11

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

Subject to any restrictions in Section 409A, any Award may, to the extent provided in the Award Agreement, earn dividend equivalents. In respect of any such Award that is outstanding on a dividend record date for Common Stock, the Participant may be credited with an amount equal to the amount of cash or stock dividends that would have been paid on the Shares covered by such Award, had such covered Shares been issued and outstanding on such dividend record date. The Committee will establish such rules and procedures governing the crediting of dividend equivalents, including the timing, form of payment, and payment contingencies of such dividend equivalents, as it deems appropriate or necessary.

ARTICLE 12

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, ETC.

12.1 Plan Does Not Restrict Corporation. The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted under the Plan will not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of Corporation to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization, or other change in Corporation’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of Corporation, any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting Corporation’s capital stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

12.2 Adjustments by the Committee. In the event of any change in capitalization affecting the Common Stock of Corporation, such as a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or other form of reorganization, or any other change affecting the Common Stock, such proportionate

- 16 -

adjustments, if any, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate to reflect such change, will be made with respect to the aggregate number of Shares for which Awards in respect thereof may be granted under the Plan, the maximum number of Shares which may be sold or awarded to any Participant, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the base price or purchase price per Share in respect of outstanding Awards. The Committee may also make such adjustments in the number of Shares covered by, and price or other value of, any outstanding Awards in the event of a spin-off or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends), of Corporation assets to shareholders.

ARTICLE 13

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time, provided that no amendment may be made without shareholder approval if such approval is required by applicable law or the requirements of an applicable stock exchange or registered securities association.

ARTICLE 14

MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Tax Withholding. Corporation has the right to deduct from any settlement of any Award under the Plan, including the delivery or Vesting of Shares or Awards, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of Corporation to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. The recipient of any payment or distribution under the Plan has the obligation to make arrangements satisfactory to Corporation for the satisfaction of any such tax withholding obligations. Corporation will not be required to make any such payment or distribution under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

14.2 Unfunded Plan. The Plan will be unfunded and Corporation will not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of Corporation to any person with respect to any Award under the Plan will be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be effected pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of Corporation will be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of Corporation.

14.3 Payments to Trust. The Committee is authorized to cause to be established a trust agreement or several trust agreements whereunder the Committee may make payments of amounts due or to become due to Participants in the Plan.

14.4 Annulment of Awards. Any Award Agreement may provide that the grant of an Award payable in cash is revocable until cash is paid in settlement thereof or that grant of an Award payable in Shares is revocable until the Participant becomes entitled to the certificate in settlement thereof. In the event the employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant) of a Participant is terminated for cause (as defined below), any Award that is revocable will be annulled as of the date of such termination for cause. For the purpose of this Section 14.4, the term “for cause” has the meaning set forth in

- 17 -

the Participant’s employment agreement, if any, or otherwise means any discharge (or removal) for material or flagrant violation of the policies and procedures of Corporation or for other performance or conduct which is materially detrimental to the best interests of Corporation, as determined by the Committee.

14.5 Engaging in Competition With Corporation. Any Award Agreement may provide that, if a Participant terminates employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant) with Corporation or a Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever, and within a period of time (as specified in the Award Agreement) after the date thereof accepts employment with any competitor of (or otherwise engages in competition with) Corporation, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Participant to return to Corporation the economic value of any Award that is realized or obtained (measured at the date of exercise, Vesting, or payment) by such Participant at any time during the period beginning on the date that is six months prior to the date of such Participant’s termination of employment (or service as a Non-Employee Board Director, Non-Employee Subsidiary Director, or Consultant) with Corporation.

14.6 Other Corporation Benefit and Compensation Programs. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant to the Plan are not to be deemed a part of a Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of the termination indemnity or severance pay law of any state or country and will not be included in, or have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by Corporation or a Subsidiary unless expressly so provided by such other plan or arrangements, or except where the Committee expressly determines that an Award or portion of an Award should be included to accurately reflect competitive compensation practices or to recognize that an Award has been made in lieu of a portion of cash compensation. Awards under the Plan may be made in combination with or in tandem with, or as alternatives to, grants, awards, or payments under any other Corporation or Subsidiary plans, arrangements, or programs. The Plan notwithstanding, Corporation or any Subsidiary may adopt such other compensation programs and additional compensation arrangements as it deems necessary to attract, retain, and reward employees and directors for their service with Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

14.7 Securities Law Restrictions. No Shares may be issued under the Plan unless counsel for Corporation is satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan may be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or registered securities association upon which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted, and any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

14.8 Governing Law. Except with respect to references to the Code or federal securities laws, the Plan and all actions taken thereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Maryland.
