(e)

On January 23, 2014, the shareholders of Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to and restatement of the Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (as so amended and restated, the “Stock Incentive Plan”) at the Company's 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) to: (i) increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 25,600,000 to 29,850,000; (ii) extend the term thereof to November 15, 2023; and (iii) make certain ministerial changes.

The foregoing summary of the Stock Incentive Plan and the amendments approved at the Meeting is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. For additional information regarding the Stock Incentive Plan, please refer to Proposal No. 2 - Approval of Amendment to and Restatement of the Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement for the Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2013 (the “2014 Proxy Statement”).

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

(a)

On January 23, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to and restatement of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Charter”) to, among other things, declassify the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result of the amendments, directors’ present three-year, staggered terms will be phased out and replaced with annual elections beginning at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of shareholders. Directors who have been elected to three-year terms prior to the effectiveness of the amendments, including directors elected at the Meeting, will complete those three-year terms, and thereafter will be eligible for annual re-election such that, following the Company’s 2017 annual meeting, the Board will be completely declassified and all directors will be subject to annual election to one-year terms.

Under Delaware law, shareholders may only remove directors of corporations with classified boards for cause. However, in Delaware, directors of corporations without classified boards may be removed with or without cause. Therefore, in conjunction with the declassification of the Board, shareholders also approved an amendment such that any director or the entire Board may be removed with or without cause only after the Board is fully declassified. Prior to such time, removal of any director or the entire Board will continue to require cause.

The foregoing summary of the Amended and Restated Charter and the amendments approved at the Meeting is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Charter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference. For additional information regarding the Amended and Restated Charter, please refer to Proposal No. 5 - Approval of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to Declassify the Board, in the 2014 Proxy Statement.

In addition, in connection with the foregoing, the vacancy and director resignation provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws were amended to reflect the phased approach to declassifying the Company's Board of Directors. The foregoing summary of the Amended and Restated Bylaws and the amendments thereto is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

5.	(a) The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of capital stock, designated Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total amount of authorized capital stock of the Corporation is 241,000,000 shares, divided into 240,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share.

(b) The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to issue the shares of Preferred Stock in such series and to fix from time to time before issuance the number of shares to be included in any series and the designation, relative powers, preferences and rights and qualifications, limitations or restriction of all shares of such series. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series shall include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination of any or all of the following:


(1)	the number of shares of any series and the designation to distinguish the shares of such series from the shares of all other series;


(2)	the voting powers, if any, and whether such voting powers are full or limited, in any such series;


(3)	the redemption provisions, if any, applicable to such series, including the redemption price or prices to be paid;


(4)	whether dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative, the dividend rate, or method of determining the dividend rate, of such series, and the dates and preferences of dividends on such series;


(5)	the rights of such series upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation;


(6)	the provisions, if any, pursuant to which the shares of such series are convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other corporation, and the price or prices or the rates of exchange applicable thereto;


(7)	the right, if any, to subscribe for or to purchase any securities of the Corporation or any other

Exhibit 3.1

corporation;


(8)	the provisions, if any, of a sinking fund applicable to such series; and


(9)	any other relative, participating, optional or other special powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof;

all as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors and shall be stated in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock (a “Preferred Stock Designation”).

(c) The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 75% of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for this purpose as one class.

(d) Except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in a Preferred Stock Designation or by law,


(i)	dividends may be declared and paid or set apart from payment upon the Common Stock out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends;


(ii)	the holders of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters requiring shareholder action, each share being entitled to one vote; and


(iii)	upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock in accordance with their respective rights and interests.

(e) The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the person in whose name any share of its stock is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation shall have notice thereof, except as expressly provided by applicable law.


6.	In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind the Bylaws of the Corporation.


7.	Bylaws shall not be made, repealed, altered, amended or rescinded by the shareholders of the Corporation except by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 75% of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for purposes of this Article 7 as one class.

The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than three directors nor more than twenty-one directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. At the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, the successors of the directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders and shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, but subject to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office; at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders, the successors of the directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders and shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, but subject to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office; and at each annual meeting of shareholders thereafter, the directors shall be elected for terms expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders and shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, but subject to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

Any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors

Exhibit 3.1

shall have the remaining term as that of his or her predecessor, unless such remaining term is less than 30 days, in which case such director shall stand for election at the following year’s annual meeting. Any director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall stand for election at the annual meeting immediately following such director's election by the Board of Directors, unless the appointment occurred less than 30 days prior to such meeting, in which case such director shall stand for election at the following year's annual meeting. Any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until his successor shall have been elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 this Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto.

During any period when the holders of any Preferred Stock or any one or more series thereof, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect a specified number of directors, by reason of dividend arrearages or other provisions giving them the right to do so, then and during such time as such right continues (1) the then otherwise authorized number of directors shall be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock or such series thereof, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for, pursuant to the provisions of such Preferred Stock or series; (2) each such additional director shall serve for such term, and have such voting powers, as shall be stated in the provisions pertaining to such Preferred Stock or series; and (3) whenever the holders of any such Preferred Stock or series thereof are divested of such rights to elect a specified number of directors, voting as a class; pursuant to the provisions of such Preferred Stock or series, the terms of office of all directors elected by the holders of such Preferred Stock or series, voting as a class, pursuant to such provisions, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation or removal of directors so elected by the holders of such Preferred Stock or series, shall forthwith terminate and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced accordingly.

Subject to the special right, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of series of stock to elect directors, (1) prior to the time at which the Board of Directors ceases to be classified pursuant to this Article 8, directors may be removed only for cause, and (2) from and after the time at which the Board of Directors ceases to be classified pursuant to this Article 8, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed with or without cause, provided that any removal pursuant to clause (1) or (2) shall require the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for this purpose as one class.


9.	Subject to any rights granted in a Preferred Stock Designation to any series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing of such shareholders.


10.	No vote at any meeting of shareholders need be by written ballot unless the Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at the meeting, in his discretion, specifically directs the use of a written ballot.

11.

Special meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or by a committee of the Board of Directors that has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation, include the power to call such meetings or by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons; provided, however, that, if and to the extent that any special meeting of the shareholders may be called by any other person or persons specified in any provisions of any certificate filed under Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or its successor statute as in effect from time to time hereunder), then such special meeting may also be called by the person or persons, in the manner, at the times and for the purposes so specified.


12.	Meetings of shareholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in applicable law) outside the State of Delaware at such place as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or the Bylaws of the Corporation.


13.	Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its shareholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the

Exhibit 3.1

State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or shareholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the shareholders or class of shareholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the shareholders or class of shareholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the shareholders or class of shareholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.

14.

To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of this Corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that this Article 14 shall not eliminate or limit a director’s liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions that are not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended from time to time. Any repeal or modification of this Article 14 shall not increase the personal liability of any director of this Corporation for any act or occurrence taking place prior to such repeal or modification or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification. The provisions of this Article 14 shall not be deemed to limit or preclude indemnification of a director by the Corporation for any liability of a director that has not been eliminated by the provisions of this Article 14.

15.

The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or by reason of the fact that such director or officer, at the request of the Corporation, is or was serving any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which employees other than directors and officers may be entitled by law, a contract to which the Corporation is a party or a bylaw of the Corporation.

16.

No contract or other transaction between the Corporation or any other person, firm or corporation and no other act of the Corporation shall, in the absence of fraud, in any way be affected or invalidated by the fact that any of the directors of the Corporation are pecuniarily or otherwise interested in, or are directors or officers of, such other person, firm or corporation. Any director of the Corporation individually or any firm or corporation of which any director may be an officer, director or shareholder, partner or owner, may be a party to, or may be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in, any contract or transaction of the Corporation, provided that the fact that he individually or such firm or corporation is so interested shall be disclosed or shall have been known to the Board of Directors or a majority of such members thereof as shall be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors at which action upon any such contract or transaction shall be taken. Any director of the Corporation who is also an officer, director or shareholder, partner or owner of such other person, firm or corporation or who is so interested may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors which shall authorize any such contract or transaction, and may vote thereat to authorize any such contract or transaction with like force and effect as if he were not such officer, director or shareholder, partner or owner of such other person, firm or corporation or not so interested. Any director of the Corporation may vote upon any contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any subsidiary or affiliated corporation without regard to the fact that he is also a director of such subsidiary or affiliated corporation. Any contract, transaction or act of the Corporation or of the directors that is ratified by a majority of a quorum of the shareholders of the Corporation at any annual meeting, or at any special meeting called for such purpose, shall, insofar as permitted by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, be as valid and as a binding as though ratified by every shareholder of the Corporation; provided, however, that any failure of the shareholders to approve or ratify any such contract, transaction or act, when and if submitted, shall not be deemed in any way to invalidate the same or deprive the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees of its or their right to proceed with such contract, transaction or act.

Exhibit 3.1


17.	Notwithstanding any other vote that may be required under applicable law, and in addition thereto, the affirmative vote of holders of not less than two-thirds of the total voting power of all outstanding securities entitled to vote in the ordinary election of directors of the Corporation voting together as a single class, shall be required:

(a) To adopt any agreement for, or to approve, the merger or consolidation of this Corporation with or into any other corporation except for mergers for which no shareholder vote is required under Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any successor section;

(b) To authorize any sale, lease, transfer, exchange, mortgage, pledge or other disposition to any other corporation, person or entity of all or substantially all of the assets of this Corporation;

(c) To authorize the issuance or transfer by this Corporation of any voting securities of this Corporation in exchange or payment for the securities or assets of any other corporation, person or entity if such authorization is otherwise required by law or by any agreement between this Corporation and any national securities exchange or by any other agreement to which this Corporation is a party; or

(d) To adopt a plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of this Corporation.

18.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Incorporation, the provisions set forth in this Article 18 and in Articles 6, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15 and 17 may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified directly or indirectly in any respect (whether by amendment of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation or otherwise) and the provisions of Article 7 may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified directly or indirectly (whether by amendment of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation or otherwise) in any respect that would reduce or diminish in any manner any requirement set forth in such Articles for shareholder or director approval of any matter described therein; provided, however, that any of the foregoing Articles may be repealed or amended in any respect if such repeal or amendment is approved by such vote as may be required under applicable law and in addition thereto by the affirmative vote of the holders, voting together as a single class, of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the total voting power of all outstanding securities that are entitled to vote in the ordinary election of directors of the Corporation.

19.

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred on shareholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15 and 17 may not be repealed or amended in any respect unless such repeal or amendment is in conformity with Article 18 of this Certificate of Incorporation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be executed, signed and acknowledged by Michael S. Udovic, its Vice President and Secretary, as of the 27th day of January, 2014.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting pursuant to Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to any other action.

If the Board does not so fix a record date, then: (i) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the day on which the first written consent is expressed; (iii) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment or postponement of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned or postponed meeting.

SECTION 2.05 NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Except as otherwise required by law, notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering a typewritten or printed notice thereof to the stockholder personally, or by depositing such notice in the United States mail, in a postage prepaid envelope, directed to the stockholder at the address furnished by the stockholder to the Secretary of the Corporation for such purpose or, if the stockholder shall not have furnished to the Secretary of the Corporation an address for such purpose, then at the address of the stockholder last known to the Secretary, or by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given, except to the extent prohibited by Section 232(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Any consent to receive notice by electronic transmission shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Notice given as provided above shall be deemed given to the stockholder as follows: (i) if by personal delivery, when delivered to the stockholder; (ii) if by mail, when deposited in the United States mail; (iii) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iv) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (v) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (a) such posting and (b) the giving of such separate notice; and (vi) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Except as otherwise expressly required by law, no publication of any notice of a meeting of the stockholders shall be required. Every notice of a meeting of the stockholders shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall not be required to be given to any stockholder who shall have waived such notice and such notice shall be deemed waived by any stockholders who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy, except as for stockholders who shall attend such meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, notice of any adjourned or postponed meeting of the stockholders need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment or postponement is taken.

(v)

Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or other business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that no action shall be taken on such nomination or other proposal, and such nomination or other proposal shall be disregarded.

In the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat or, in the absence therefrom of all the stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as secretary of, such meeting may adjourn or postpone such meeting from time to time.

Each stockholder shall, at each meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to vote in person or by proxy each share or fractional share of the stock of the Corporation that has voting rights on the matter in question and that has been held by him and registered in his name on the books of the Corporation (i) on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.05 of these Bylaws as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting or (ii) if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then (a) at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting shall be given or (b) if notice of the meeting shall be waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting shall be held.

(b)

Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors in such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes. Persons holding stock of the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote such stock. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation he shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon. Stock having voting power standing of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or with respect to which two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship, shall be voted in accordance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Exhibit 3.2

(c)

Any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder entitled thereto in person or by his proxy appointed by an instrument in writing, subscribed by such stockholder or by his attorney thereunto authorized and delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless said proxy shall provide for a longer period. The attendance at any meeting of a stockholder who may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of revoking the same unless he shall in writing so notify the secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy. At any meeting of the stockholders all matters, except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, in these Bylaws or by law, shall be decided by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat and thereon, a quorum being present. The vote at any meetings of the stockholders on any question need not be by ballot, unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting. On a vote by ballot each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted.

SECTION 2.10 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. The Secretary of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the duration thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

SECTION 2.11 INSPECTORS OF ELECTIONS. If at any meeting of the stockholders a vote by written ballot shall be taken on any question, the chairman of such meeting may appoint an inspector or inspectors of elections to act with respect to such vote. Each inspector so appointed shall first subscribe an oath faithfully to execute the duties of an inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspectors shall decide upon the qualification of the voters and shall report the number of shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question, shall conduct and accept the votes, and, when the voting is completed, shall ascertain and report the number of shares voted respectively for and against the question. Reports of inspectors shall be in writing and subscribed and delivered by them to the Secretary of the Corporation. The inspectors need not be stockholders of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be an inspector on any question other than a vote for or against a proposal in which he shall have a material interest.

SECTION 2.12 ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING NOT PERMITTED. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders. The power of the stockholders to consent in writing without a meeting to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

SECTION 2.13 CONDUCT OF MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS. Subject to the following, meetings of stockholders generally shall follow accepted rules of parliamentary procedure:

(a)

The chairman of the meeting shall have absolute authority over matters of procedure and there shall be no appeal from the ruling of the chairman. If the chairman, in his absolute discretion, deems it advisable to dispense with the rules of parliamentary procedure as to any one meeting of stockholders or part thereof, the chairman shall so state and shall clearly state the rules under which the meeting or appropriate part thereof shall be conducted.


(b)	If disorder should arise that prevents continuation of the legitimate business of the meeting, the chairman may quit the chair and announce the adjournment or postponement of the meeting; and, upon his so doing, the meeting shall be immediately adjourned or postponed.


(c)	The chairman may ask or require that anyone that is not a bona fide stockholder or proxy leave the meeting.


(d)	A resolution or motion shall be considered for vote only if proposed by a stockholder or duly authorized proxy and seconded by an individual who is a stockholder or a duly authorized proxy, other than the individual who proposed the resolution or motion.

Exhibit 3.2

ARTICLE III.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 3.01 GENERAL POWERS. The property, business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by the Board.

SECTION 3.02 NUMBER AND TERM OF OFFICE. The authorized number of directors shall be eleven (11) until changed by a duly adopted amendment to this Bylaw. Each of the directors of the Corporation shall hold office until his successor shall have been duly elected and shall qualify or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

SECTION 3.03 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, each director then standing for election shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast, subject to the following provisions:

(a)

Resignation of Incumbent Director Who Fails to Receive a Majority Vote : In any non-contested election of directors, any director nominee who is an incumbent director who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election (or “against” or “no” votes) than votes “for” such election shall immediately tender his or her resignation to the Board, which resignation shall be irrevocable. Thereafter, the Board shall decide, through a process managed by the nominating and corporate governance committee (or equivalent) (and excluding the nominee in question from all Board and committee deliberations), whether to accept such resignation.

(b)

Consequences of the Board’s Acceptance or Non-Acceptance of a Director’s Resignation : If such incumbent director’s resignation is accepted by the Board, then such director shall immediately cease to be a member of the Board upon the date of action taken by the Board to accept such resignation. If such incumbent director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board, such director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting or, if applicable, the next annual meeting when his or her class is due to be elected, or until his or her subsequent resignation or removal.


(c)	Failure of a Non-Incumbent Director to Win Election : If any nominee for director who is not an incumbent fails in a non-contested election to receive a majority vote for his or her election at any meeting for the purpose of the election of directors at which a quorum is present, such candidate shall not be elected and shall not take office.

(d)

Filling Vacancies : If an incumbent director’s resignation is accepted by the Board pursuant to this Section 3.03, or if a non-incumbent nominee for director is not elected, the Board, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05, or may decrease the size of the Board pursuant to Section 3.02. If, for any cause, the entire Board of Directors shall not have been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose in the manner provided in these Bylaws.


(e)	Nominees to Agree in Writing to Abide by this Bylaw : To be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation, each nominee (including incumbent directors and nominees proposed by stockholders in accordance with Section 2.06) must agree in writing in advance to comply with the requirements of this Section 3.03.

(f)

Vote Standard in Contested Elections : Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03, in the event of a contested election, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this Section 3.03, a contested election shall mean any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, with the determination thereof being made by the Secretary of the Corporation (i) as of the close of the applicable notice of nomination period set forth in Section 2.06 based on whether one or more notice(s) of nomination were timely filed in accordance with such Section or (ii) if later, reasonably promptly following the determination by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction that one or more notice(s) of nomination were timely filed in accordance with Section 2.06; provided that the determination that an election is a contested election by the Secretary of the Corporation pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) shall be determinative only as to the timeliness of a notice of nomination and not otherwise as to its validity. If, prior to the time the Corporation mails its initial proxy statement in connection with such election of directors, one or more notices of nomination are withdrawn (or are declared invalid or untimely by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction) such that the number of candidates for election as director no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a contested election, but, in all other

Exhibit 3.2

cases, once an election is determined to be a contested election, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.

SECTION 3.04 RESIGNATIONS. Any director of the Corporation may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board or to the Secretary of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3.03, any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, or, if the time is not specified, it shall take effect immediately upon its receipt; and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

SECTION 3.05 VACANCIES. Ex cept as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any vacancy in the Board, whether because of death, resignation, disqualification, an increase in the number of directors, or any other cause, may be filled by vote of the majority of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum. Each director chosen to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the remaining term as that of his or her predecessor, unless such remaining term is less than thirty (30) days, in which case such director shall stand for election at the following year’s annual meeting. Any director chosen to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the annual meeting immediately following such director’s election by the Board, unless the appointment occurred less than thirty (30) days prior to such meeting, in which case such director shall stand for election at the following year’s annual meeting. Any director chosen to fill a vacancy shall hold office until his successor shall have been elected and shall qualify or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided .

SECTION 3.06 PLACE OF MEETING. The Board may hold any of its meetings at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware as the Board may from time to time by resolution designate or as shall be designated by the person or persons calling the meeting or in the notice or a waiver of notice of any such meeting. Directors may participate in any regular or special meeting of the Board by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment pursuant to which all persons participating in the meeting of the Board can hear each other, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

SECTION 3.07 FIRST MEETING. The Board shall meet as soon as practicable after each annual election of directors and notice of such first meeting shall not be required.

SECTION 3.08 REGULAR MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Board may be held at such times as the Board may from time to time by resolution determine. If any day fixed for a regular meeting shall be a legal holiday at the place where the meeting is to be held, then the meeting shall be held at the same hour and place on the next succeeding business day not a legal holiday. Except as provided by law, notice of regular meetings need not be given.

It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all directors.

Such notice may be waived by any director and any meeting shall be a legal meeting without notice having been given if all the directors shall be present thereat or if those not present shall, either before or after the meeting, sign a written waiver of notice of, or a consent to, such meeting or shall after the meeting sign the approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or be made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

SECTION 3.10 QUORUM AND MANNER OF ACTING. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws or by law, the presence of a majority of the total number of directors then in office shall be required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate

Exhibit 3.2

of Incorporation or these Bylaws or by law, all matters shall be decided at any such meeting, a quorum being present, by the affirmative votes of a majority of the directors present. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of directors present at any meeting may adjourn or postpone the same from time to time until a quorum shall be present. Notice of any adjourned or postponed meeting need not be given. The directors shall act only as a Board, and the individual directors shall have no power as such.

SECTION 3.11 ACTION BY CONSENT. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

SECTION 3.12 MANIFESTATION OF DISSENT. A director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

The Board may also provide that the Corporation shall reimburse each such director for any expense incurred by him on account of his attendance at any meetings of the Board or Committees of the Board. Neither the payment of such compensation nor the reimbursement of such expenses shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation or its subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

SECTION 3.14 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. There may be an Executive Committee of three or more directors appointed by the Board, who may meet at stated times, or on notice to all members of such Committee by any of their own number, during the intervals between the meetings of the Board; they shall advise and aid the officers of the Corporation in all matters concerning its interests and the management of its business, and generally perform such duties and exercise such powers as may be directed or delegated by the Board from time to time. To the full extent permitted by law, the Board may delegate to such Committee authority to exercise all the powers of the Board while the Board is not in session. Vacancies in the members of the Committee shall be filled by the Board at a regular meeting or at a special meeting for that purpose. The Executive Committee shall keep written minutes of its meeting and report the same to the Board when required. The provisions of Sections 3.08, 3.09 and 3.11 of these Bylaws shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any Executive Committee of the Board.

SECTION 3.15 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. The Board of Directors, by resolution, may provide for an Emergency Management Committee and appoint members or designate the manner in which membership of the Committee shall be determined. The emergency powers granted hereunder shall be operative during any emergency resulting from an attack on the United States or during any nuclear or atomic disaster or during the existence of any catastrophe, or other similar emergency condition, as a result of which a quorum of the Board of Directors or a standing committee thereof cannot readily be convened for action (an “emergency condition”). Said Committee shall have and may exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation. It shall act only during such emergency condition and so long as the number of Directors able to act shall have been reduced to fewer than five, and until a Board of Directors has been elected by the stockholders. Such Committee shall meet as promptly as possible after the commencement of such an emergency condition as would activate the Committee and at such subsequent time or times as it may designate until a Board of Directors has been duly elected. Such Committee shall as the first order of business elect an Emergency Executive Committee from among its members and a chairman thereof, who shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation. Such Executive Committee shall function in the same manner and possess the same powers as the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, as provided in Article III of these Bylaws, and shall have as many members as shall be provided by resolution of the Board. Such Committees shall make their own rules of procedure except to the extent otherwise provided by resolution of the Board. A majority of the members of the Committees able to act shall constitute a quorum. The physical presence of a member shall not be required if his vote on an action to be taken can be obtained by available means of communication. Any vacancy occurring in said Committees caused by resignation, death or other incapacity may be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Emergency Management Committee and any member so chosen shall serve until a Board of Directors has been duly elected.

Vacancies in the membership of a committee shall be filled by the Board at a regular meeting or a special meeting for that purpose. Any such committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required.

ARTICLE VI.

SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

SECTION 6.01 CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK. Shares of the Corporations stock may be certificated or uncertificated; provided, however, that every owner of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate or certificates, to be in such form as the Board shall prescribe, certifying the number and class of shares of the stock of the Corporation owned by him. Except as otherwise provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificated shares of the same class and series shall be identical. The certificates representing shares of such stock shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman, Vice Chairman or President and Chief Executive Officer or an Executive, Group, Senior or other Vice President, and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer. Any of or all of the signatures on the certificates may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as though the person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as though the person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed thereupon, were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. A record shall be kept of the respective names of the persons, firms or corporations owning the Corporation’s stock whether or not represented by such certificates, the number and class of shares owned thereby, respectively, and the respective dates thereof, and in case of cancellation, the respective dates of cancellation. Upon a holder’s request, the Corporation shall provide evidence of any equivalent uncertificated shares. Every certificate surrendered to the Corporation for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled, and no new certificated or uncertificated share or shares shall be issued in exchange for any existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been cancelled, except in cases provided for in Section 6.04.

SECTION 6.02 TRANSFERS OF STOCK. The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purpose as regards the Corporation. Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be registered on the books of the Corporation or a transfer agent appointed as provided in Section 6.03, and may only be made upon instruction of the registered holder thereof, or of his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed, and the payment of all taxes thereon. Upon surrender of a certificate of shares to the Corporation or its transfer agent, with an assignment or power of transfer endorsed thereon or delivered therewith, duly executed, and with such proof of the authenticity of the signature and of authority to transfer, and of payment of transfer taxes, as the Corporation or its agents may require, the Corporation shall cancel the old certificate and issue new equivalent certificated or uncertificated shares to the person entitled thereto, and record the transaction upon its books. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the holder of uncertificated shares, and of payment of transfer taxes as the Corporation or its agents may require, the Corporation shall cancel such uncertificated shares and issue new equivalent certificated or uncertificated shares to the person entitled thereto, and record the transaction upon its books. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the certificate or certificates shall be presented to the Corporation for registration of transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the Corporation to do so.

SECTION 6.03 REGULATIONS. The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the stock of the Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer clerks or one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates for stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

Exhibit 3.2

SECTION 6.04 LOST, STOLEN, DESTROYED, AND MUTILATED CERTIFICATES. In any case of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate of stock, the Corporation may issue new equivalent certificated or uncertificated shares in its place upon proof of such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in such form and in such sums as the Board may direct; provided, however, that such new shares may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, it is proper so to do.

SECTION 6.05 FIXING DATE FOR DETERMINATION OF STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than twenty (20) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If in any case involving the determination of stockholders for any purpose other than notice of or voting at a meeting of stockholders the Board shall not fix such a record date, the record date for determining stockholders for such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board shall adopt the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment or postponement of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned or postponed meeting.

ARTICLE VII.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.01 ACTIONS OTHER THAN BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a member of any committee or similar body, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 7.02 ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or as a member of any committee or similar body, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

SECTION 7.03 DETERMINATION OF RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION. To obtain indemnification under Section 7.01 or 7.02, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 7.01 or 7.02 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.

Exhibit 3.2

SECTION 7.04 INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES OF SUCCESSFUL PARTY. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that a director, officer or employee of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.01 or 7.02, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

SECTION 7.05 ADVANCE OF EXPENSES. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. Such expenses incurred by other employees may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate, provided that advances pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall paid by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time.

SECTION 7.06 OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. The benefits provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

SECTION 7.07 INSURANCE. Upon resolution passed by the Board, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or hold him harmless against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

SECTION 7.08 CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS. For the purposes of this Article, references to “the Corporation” include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation, and shall also include without limitation Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., a California corporation, so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such a constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would if he had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

SECTION 7.09 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. For purposes of this Article, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans, and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation that imposes a duty on, or involves services by, such director, officer or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries.

SECTION 7.10 BROADEST LAWFUL INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation shall, to the broadest and maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists from time to time (but, in case of any amendment to or change in Delaware law, only to the extent that such amendment or change permits the Corporation to provide broader rights of indemnification than is permitted to the Corporation prior to such amendment or change), indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding than is permitted to the Corporation prior to such amendment or change), pay to such person any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending or settling any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section 7.10, provided that advances pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall paid by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time. The first sentence of this Section 7.10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not indemnify any such person with respect to any of the following matters: (i) remuneration paid to such person if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law; or (ii) any accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by such person of the Corporation’s securities within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities

Exhibit 3.2

Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law; or (iii) actions brought about or contributed to by the dishonesty of such person, if a final judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that acts of active and deliberate dishonesty were committed or attempted by such person with actual dishonest purpose and intent and were material to the adjudication; or (iv) actions based on or attributable to such person having gained any personal profit or advantage to which he was not entitled, in the event that a final judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that such person in fact gained such personal profit or other advantage to which he was not entitled; or (v) any matter in respect of which a final decision by a court with competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification is unlawful; provided, however, that the Corporation shall perform its obligations under the second sentence of this Section 7.10 on behalf of such person until such time as it shall be ultimately determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by the first sentence of this Section 7.10 by virtue of any of the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v). To obtain indemnification under Section 7.10, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification.

SECTION 7.11 INDEMNITY FUND. Upon resolution passed by the Board, the Corporation may establish a trust or other designated account, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit), to ensure the payment of any or all of its obligations arising under this Article VII and/or any agreements that may be entered into between the Corporation and its officers and directors from time to time.

SECTION 7.12 SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Article VII shall be found, in any action, suit or proceeding or appeal therefrom or in any other circumstances or as to any particular officer, director or employee to be unenforceable, ineffective or invalid for any reason (a) the enforceability, effect and validity of the remaining parts or of such parts in other circumstances shall not be affected, except as otherwise required by applicable law, and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VII (including each such portion of any paragraph of this Article VII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

SECTION 7.13 AMENDMENTS. The foregoing provisions of this Article VII shall be deemed to constitute an agreement between the Corporation and each of the persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, for as long as such provisions remain in effect.

The terms of the Awards and the Award Agreements need not be the same with respect to each Participant. A Participant may hold more than one Award at the same time.

4. Administration.


(a)	The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Board of Directors shall fill vacancies on, and from time to time may remove or add members to, the Committee. The Committee shall act pursuant to a majority vote or unanimous written consent.

(b)

The Committee shall determine: the Participants to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards will be granted; the type of Awards to be granted; the number of Shares (or amount of cash) to be subject to each Award and the form of settlement thereof; the duration of each Award; the time or times within which Options may be exercised; and any other terms and conditions of the Awards, at grant or while outstanding, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The Committee shall also establish such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, and make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. Including addressing anticipated events (including any temporary closure of the stock exchange as which the Company is listed, disruption of communications or natural catastrophe.

(c)

Except as provided in Paragraph 14, each determination or other action made or taken pursuant to the Plan, including interpretations of the Plan and the specific conditions and provisions of the Awards, shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons including, but without limitation, the Company, its Related Companies, the Committee, the Board of Directors, Participants, and the respective successors in interest of any of the foregoing.

(d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Award that is not intended to satisfy the conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act or Section 162(m), and to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law or the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Shares are traded, the Committee may appoint one or more separate committees (any such committee, a “Subcommittee”) composed of one or more directors of the Company, who unlike the members of the Committee, may be employee directors of the Company. The Committee may delegate to any such Subcommittee(s), with respect to Employees who are not directors or executive officers of the Company, the authority to grant Awards, to determine all terms of such Awards and/or to administer the Plan, pursuant to the terms of the Plan; provided that (i) any resolution of the Committee authorizing such Subcommittee must specify the total number of Shares subject to Awards that such Subcommittee may so award and (ii) the Committee may not authorize any officer to designate himself or herself as the recipient of an Award. Subject to the limitations of the Plan and the

Exhibit 10.1

limitations of the Committee's delegation, any such Subcommittee would have the full authority of the Committee pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Any such Subcommittee shall not, however, grant Awards on terms more favorable than Awards provided for by the Committee. Actions by any such Subcommittee within the scope of delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken by the Committee. Any such Subcommittee shall be required to report to the Committee on any actions that the Subcommittee has taken.


(e)	The Committee may designate the Secretary of the Company or any other Company employee to assist the Committee in the administration of the Plan, and may grant authority to such persons to execute Award Agreements or other documents entered into under the Plan on behalf of the Committee or the Company.

5. Shares and Share Counting.


(a)	The Common Stock to be issued, transferred and/or sold under the Plan shall be made available from authorized and unissued Common Stock or from the Company's treasury shares.

(b)

Subject to adjustment as provided in this Paragraph and Paragraph 13, the total number of Shares that may be issued or transferred under the Plan pursuant to Awards may not exceed 29,850,000 Shares. For this purpose, every Share transferred pursuant to an Award granted after September 28, 2012 (i) that is an Option or SAR shall count as one share and (ii) every Share transferred pursuant to an Award granted after September 28, 2012 other than an Option or SAR shall count as 1.92 Shares. If any Awards granted before September 29, 2012 (“Prior Awards”) are forfeited, in whole or in part, new Awards (“Subsequent Awards”) may be issued with respect to the Shares covered by such Prior Awards. For the purpose of determining the amount of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Subsequent Awards, (1) forfeited Options and SARs shall be counted as one Share per each Share covered and Awards other than Options and SARs shall be counted as 1.92 Shares per each share covered, and (2) Shares issued pursuant to a Subsequent Award shall count as either one Share (if the Award is an Option or SAR) or 1.92 Shares (in the case of an Award other than an Option or SAR). In the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from an Award other than an Option or SAR are satisfied by the withholding of Shares by the Company, then the Shares so withheld shall again be available for Awards under the Plan and shall count as 1.92 Shares for each Share so withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall not be added to the Shares authorized for issuance or transfer under this Paragraph 5(b): (i) Shares tendered by the Participant in payment of the purchase price of an Option, (ii) Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to Options or SARs, (iii) Shares subject to a SAR (that is, each SAR that is exercised shall reduce the number of Shares available by one Share), and (iv) Shares reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of Options.

(c)

In the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Majority-Owned Related Company or with which the Company or any Majority-Owned Related Company combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by shareholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other formula used in such transaction to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for issuance or transfer under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Employees or directors prior to such acquisition or combination.

6. Options.


(a)	Grant . Options may be granted hereunder to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards. Any Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.

(b)

Option Price . The option price per each Share shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of such Option; provided, however, that in the case of an ISO granted to a Participant who, at the time of the grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, the option price per Share shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant.

Exhibit 10.1

(c)

Duration of Options . The duration of Options shall be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall the duration exceed ten years from the date of its grant; provided, however, that the term of the Option shall not exceed five years from the date the Option is granted in the case of an ISO granted to a Participant who, at the time of the grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the last business day of the term of an Option (i) the exercise of the Option, other than an ISO, is prohibited by applicable law or (ii) Shares may not be purchased or sold by certain Participants due to the “black-out period” pursuant to Company policy or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the term shall be extended for a period of 30 days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement.

(d)

ISOs . With respect to each grant of an Option to an employee of the Company or any Company subsidiary, the Committee shall determine whether such Option shall be an ISO, and, upon determining that an Option shall be an ISO, shall designate it as such in the written instrument evidencing such Option. Each written instrument evidencing an ISO shall contain all terms and conditions required by Section 422 of the Code. If the written instrument evidencing an Option does not contain a designation that it is an ISO, it shall not be an ISO. The Employee to whom an ISO is granted must be eligible to receive an ISO pursuant to Section 422 of the Code. Solely for purposes of determining whether Shares are available for the grant of ISOs under the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to ISOs granted under the Plan shall be 29,850,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 13. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined in each instance on the date on which an ISO is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are first exercisable by any employee in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 for such employee. If any Majority-Owned Related Company of the Company shall adopt a stock option plan under which options constituting ISOs may be granted, the fair market value of the stock on which any such ISOs are granted and the times at which such ISOs will first become exercisable shall be taken into account in determining the maximum amount of ISOs that may be granted to the employee under this Plan in any calendar year.


(e)	Exercise of Options. The Award Agreement shall specify when Options vest and become exercisable. An Option may not be exercised in a manner that will result in fractional Shares being issued.

Vested Options granted under the Plan shall be exercised by the Participant (or by a legal representative, to the extent provided in an Award Agreement) as to all or part of the Shares covered thereby, by giving notice of exercise to the Company or its designated agent, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. The notice of exercise shall be in such form, made in such manner, and shall comply with such other requirements consistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee may prescribe from time to time.

ii.

Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, full payment of such purchase price shall be made at the time of exercise and shall be made: in cash or cash equivalents (including certified check or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds); by tendering previously acquired Shares (either actually or by attestation) valued at their then Fair Market Value; through any other method specified in an Award Agreement (including same-day sales through a broker); or any combination of any of the foregoing. The notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Committee may from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may from time to time prescribe.

7. Stock Appreciation Rights.


(a)	Grant . The Committee may grant SARs in tandem with all or part of any Award (including Options) or at any subsequent time during the term of such Award, or without regard to any other Award, in each case upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish.

(b)

Grant Price and Duration . A SAR shall have a grant price per Share of not less than the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant or, if applicable, on the date of grant of an Option with respect to a SAR granted in tandem with the Option (subject to the requirements of Section 409A), and subject to adjustments provided in Paragraph 13. A SAR shall have a term not greater than ten years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the last business day of the term of a SAR (i) the exercise of the SAR is prohibited by applicable law or (ii) Shares may not be purchased or sold by certain employees or directors of the Company due to the “black-

Exhibit 10.1

out period” of a Company policy or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the term shall be extended for a period of 30 days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement.

(c)

Exercise . An Award Agreement covering a SAR shall provide when the SAR vests and becomes exercisable. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the holder shall have the right to receive the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or such amount less than such Fair Market Value as the Committee shall so determine at any time during a specified period before the date of exercise) over (ii) the grant price of the SAR. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether payment shall be made in cash or Shares, or any combination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends or other distributions that relate to a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award subject to performance based vesting criteria will be subject to the same performance criteria as the underlying Award.

8. Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a)

Grants . Awards of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards (a “Restricted Stock Award” or “Restricted Stock Unit Award,” respectively). Restricted Stock Units are Awards denominated in units of Common Stock under which settlement is subject to such vesting conditions and other terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be equal to one share of Common Stock and shall, subject to satisfaction of any vesting and/or other terms and conditions, entitle a recipient to the issuance of one share of Common Stock (or such equivalent value in cash) in settlement of the Award.

(b)

Conditions and Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be subject to time-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions. In the case of performance-based Awards, the performance goals to be achieved for each performance period shall be conclusively determined by the Committee and may be based upon the criteria set forth in Paragraph 10(b) or such other criteria as determined by the Committee in its discretion. In order to enforce the restrictions imposed upon Restricted Stock Awards, the Committee may require the recipient to enter into an escrow agreement providing that the certificates representing such Restricted Stock Awards shall remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder until any or all of the conditions and restrictions imposed pursuant to the Plan expire or shall have been removed.

(c)

Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, beginning on the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Award and subject to execution of the Award Agreement, the Participant shall become a shareholder of the Company with respect to all Shares subject to the Award Agreement and shall have all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive distributions made with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph. A Participant who holds a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall only have those rights specifically provided for in the Award Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall the Participant have voting rights with respect to such Award.

(d)

Minimum Vesting Period. Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall have a vesting period of not less than (i) three years from date of grant (but permitting pro rata vesting over such time) if subject only to continued service with the Company or a Majority-Owned Related Company and (ii) one year from date of grant if subject to the achievement of performance objectives, subject in either case to accelerated vesting in the Committee's discretion in the event of the death, Disability or Retirement of the Participant or a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not be applicable to grants of up to 5% of the number of Shares available for Awards on the effective date of the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole discretion waive the vesting restrictions and any other conditions set forth in any Award Agreement under such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate, subject to the minimum vesting period requirements in the prior sentence and the limitations imposed under Section 162(m) (in the case of a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award intended to comply therewith), except as otherwise determined by the Committee to be appropriate under the circumstances.

(e)

Issuance of Shares. Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Board may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate(s), which certificate(s) shall be held by the Company. Such book entry registration, or certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

(c)

Performance Goals. The Committee shall establish the performance goals or criteria on which each Incentive Bonus shall be based. The Committee shall also affirmatively determine at the end of each performance period the level of achievement of any such performance goals or criteria that shall determine the target and maximum amount payable under an Incentive Bonus, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. The Committee may specify to what extent an Incentive Bonus is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the performance criteria for any portion of an Incentive Bonus that is intended by the Committee to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria (as defined in Paragraph 10(b)) selected by the Committee and specified upon or prior to the grant of the Incentive Bonus.

10. Qualifying Performance-Based Compensation.

(a)

General . The Committee may specify that an Award or a portion of an Award is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), provided that, other than with respect to Options or SARs, the performance criteria for an Award or portion of an Award that is intended by the Committee to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time the Award is granted. In the case of any Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), the Committee shall establish the performance criteria with respect to such Award not later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance criteria relate (or, in the case of performance periods of less than one year, not later than the date upon which 25% of the performance period elapses), provided that the outcome of the performance criteria is substantially uncertain at such time. The Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment, settlement or vesting.

(b)

For purposes of this Plan, the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, or derivations of such performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole, or to a business unit or group of business units, or Related Company, measured either annually, at a point in time during a performance period, or as an average of values determined at various points of time during a performance period, or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years' (or period's) results or to a designated comparison group, or as a change in values during or between performance periods, in each case as specified by the Committee: (i) revenues; (ii) earnings from operations, earnings before or after income taxes, earnings before or after interest, depreciation, amortization, or earnings before extraordinary or special items, earnings before income taxes and any provision for Incentive Bonuses; (iii) net earnings or net earnings per common share (basic or diluted); (iv) return on assets (gross or net), return on investment, return on capital, or return on beginning, ending or average equity; (v) cash flow, cash flow from operations, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment (discounted or otherwise), net cash provided by operations, or cash flow in excess of cost of capital; (vi) interest expense after taxes; (vii) economic value added or created; (viii) operating margin or profit margin; (ix) stock price or total shareholder return; (x) average cash balance, net cash or cash position; and (xi) strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified development, strategic partnering, licensing, research and development, market penetration, geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, management of employment practices and employee benefits, supervision of litigation and information technology, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures of subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures.

Exhibit 10.1

restructurings, discontinued operations, unusual or nonrecurring or extraordinary items and all items of gain, loss or expense determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principle all as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as the cumulative effect of accounting changes, in each case as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or identified in the Company's financial statements or notes to the financial statements, and (B) may appropriately adjust any measurement of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude the effects of any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (1) asset write-downs, (2) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (3) changes in tax law or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (4) reorganization and restructuring programs and (5) payments made or due under this Plan or any other compensation arrangement maintained by the Company .


(c)	Restrictions . The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Awards subject to this Paragraph as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m).

(d)

Limitations on Grants to Individual Participants . In no event may Awards that are denominated in shares and that are intended to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) be granted or awarded to any Employee covering more than 1,000,000 shares in the aggregate (taking into account all such share-based Awards) in any one calendar year, subject to the adjustment provisions of Paragraph 13 of the Plan only to the extent that such adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). During any calendar year no Participant may be granted Performance Awards that are intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Section 162(m) and are denominated in cash under which more than $5,000,000 may be earned for each 12 months in the performance period. If an Award is cancelled, the cancelled Award shall continue to be counted toward the applicable limitation in this Paragraph.

11. Termination of Employment and Change in Control.

Schedule A and Schedule B, attached hereto, establish the effects of a Participant's termination of employment, other changes of employment or employer status, and a Change in Control, with respect to outstanding Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Units, and such Schedules are hereby incorporated by reference. The Committee may approve Awards containing terms and conditions different from, or in addition to, those set forth in Schedule A and Schedule B. The effects of a termination of employment and/or a Change in Control with respect to Incentive Bonuses shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. In the case of leaves of absence, Employees will not be deemed to have terminated employment unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise.

12. Transferability of Awards.

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee:


(a)	Awards shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The rights of a Participant under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder.


(b)	During the lifetime of a Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the recipient of such Option, or by his/her legal representative.

13. Adjustments.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination of shares or spin-offs, recapitalization, dividend or distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property, other than a regular cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares or the value thereof or otherwise, the Committee or the Board of Directors shall make such adjustment and other substitutions, if any, as it may deem equitable and appropriate, including such adjustments in the number, class and kind of securities that may be delivered under the Plan, the number of Shares subject to any outstanding Award and the Option or exercise price, if any, thereof. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional Shares that might otherwise become subject to any Award without payment therefore.

Exhibit 10.1

14. Amendments and Modifications of the Plan.

The Board of Directors may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for shareholder approval imposed by applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Shares are traded; provided that the Board of Directors may not amend the Plan in any manner that would result in noncompliance with Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act; and further provided that the Board of Directors may not, without the approval of the Company's shareholders to the extent required by such applicable law, amend the Plan to: (a) increase the number of Shares that may be the subject of Awards under the Plan (except for adjustments pursuant to Paragraph 13); (b) expand the types of awards available under the Plan; (c) materially expand the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan; (d) amend the Plan to eliminate the requirements relating to minimum exercise price, minimum grant price and shareholder approval; (e) increase the maximum permissible term of any Option or the maximum permissible term of SAR; or (f) increase any of the limitations in Paragraph 10(d). The Board of Directors may not (except pursuant to Paragraph 13 or in connection with a Change in Control), without the approval of the Company's shareholders, cancel an Option or SAR in exchange for cash when the exercise or grant price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of one Share or take any action with respect to an Option or SAR that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities exchange on which the Shares are traded, including a reduction of the exercise price of an Option or the grant price of a SAR or the exchange of an Option or SAR for another Award. In addition,except as expressly authorized under the Plan, no amendments to, or termination of, the Plan shall impair the rights of a Participant in any material respect under any Award previously granted without such Participant's consent.

15. Tax Withholding.

The Company shall have the right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to a Participant (or a legal representative thereof as provided in an Award Agreement) net of any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld as a result of (a) the grant of any Award; (b) the exercise of an Option or SAR; (c) the delivery of Shares or cash; (d) the lapse of any restrictions in connection with any Award; or (e) any other event occurring pursuant to the Plan. The Company or any Majority-Owned Related Company shall have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise payable to a Participant (or a legal representative thereof as provided in an Award Agreement) such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Participant (or legal representative) to pay such withholding taxes. The Company may, at its discretion, delay the delivery of Shares or cash otherwise deliverable to a Participant in connection with the settlement of an Award until such time arrangements have been made to ensure the remittance of all taxes due from the Participant in connection with the Award. If the Participant (or legal representative) shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company or its Majority-Owned Related Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant (or legal representative) or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. The Committee shall be authorized to establish procedures for election by Participants (or legal representative) to satisfy such obligation for the payment of such taxes by tendering previously acquired Shares (either actually or by attestation, valued at their then Fair Market Value), or by directing the Company to retain Shares (up to the minimum required tax withholding rate for the Participant) or such other rate that will not cause an adverse accounting consequence or cost) otherwise deliverable in connection with the Award.

16. Right of Discharge Reserved; Claims to Awards.

Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Related Company or affect any right that the Company or any Related Company may have to terminate the employment of (or to demote or to exclude from future Awards under the Plan) any such Participant at any time for any reason. In the event of a Participant's termination of employment with the Company or Related Company, neither the Company nor any Related Company shall be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit from any Award held by a Participant immediately preceding the Participant's termination. No Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan.

17. Stop Transfer Orders.

All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall 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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

Exhibit 10.1

18. Severability.

The provisions of the Plan shall be deemed severable. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of change in a law or regulation, such provision shall (a) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

19. Construction.

As used in the Plan, the words “ include ” and “ including ,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “ without limitation .”

20. Unfunded Status of the Plan.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

21. Non-U.S. Employees.

The Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, whether it is desirable or feasible under local law, custom or practice to grant Awards to Participants in countries other than the United States. In order to facilitate any such grants, the Committee may provide for such modifications and additional terms and conditions (“special terms”) in the grant and Award Agreements to Participants who are employed outside the United States (or who are foreign nationals temporarily within the United States) as the Committee may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable to accommodate differences in, or otherwise comply with, local law, policy or custom or to facilitate administration of the Plan. The Committee may adopt or approve sub- plans, appendices or supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable for purposes of implementing any special terms or facilitating the grant, without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose. The special terms and any appendices, supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions, however, shall not include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as then in effect, unless the Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the Board of Directors.

22. Governing Law.

The Plan shall be governed by and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its choice of law rules.

23. Effective Date of the Plan; Termination of the Plan.

The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the Board of Directors and a majority of the shares present at a duly called meeting of the shareholders of the Company held within twelve months of approval by the Board of Directors. However, Awards may be granted at any time following the approval of the Plan by the Board of Directors, but no Shares may be issued pursuant to any Awards until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders, and all listing requirements of all securities exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed have been satisfied. Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time on or prior to November 15, 2022, the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, on which date the Plan will expire except as to Awards then outstanding under the Plan; provided, however, in no event may an ISO be granted more than ten years after the earlier of (a) the date of the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors or (b) the effective date of the Plan as provided in the first sentence of this Paragraph. Such outstanding Awards shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Plan is not approved by shareholders at the 2013 Annual Meeting, then the Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, as in effect immediately prior to the adoption of this restated version on November 15, 2012, shall continue to exist and operate according to all of the terms and conditions of such prior version.

Exhibit 10.1

24. Section 409A.

This Plan is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A, the Award shall be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will comply with Section 409A, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, except as otherwise determined by the Committee. Any provision of this Plan that would cause the grant of an Award or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof to fail to satisfy Section 409A shall be amended to comply with Section 409A on a timely basis, which may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with regulations and other guidance issued under Section 409A.
