 shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options; and (3) shares subject to a stock appreciation right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the stock appreciation right on its exercise. |

The number of shares that will again become available for future awards pursuant to the foregoing share counting provisions of the Restated Plan will generally be based on the reduction in the share reserve under the plan previously made with respect to such award.

| • |     | Limitations on dividend and dividend equivalent payments on unvested awards. Dividends and dividend equivalents may not be paid on awards subject to vesting conditions unless and until such conditions are met. |

| • |     | CEO Stock Holding Policy. Our CEO Stock Holding Policy requires our Chief Executive Officer to hold 100% of net shares (i.e., shares remaining after shares are sold, tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price or settle tax liabilities in connection with such exercise, vesting or settlement) of our common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise, vesting or settlement of equity awards (including stock options and RSUs) until the earlier of twelve months following the issuance of such shares upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of such awards or the Chief Executive Officer’s termination of employment. This holding requirement further aligns the interests of our Chief Executive Officer with the interests of the stockholders and continues the at-risk nature of the compensation program for the duration of the holding period. |

| • |     | Clawback. All awards granted under the Restated Equity Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with our existing clawback policy (which covers both time-based and performance-based awards as described further below under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”) and the clawback policy we adopted pursuant to applicable law and listing requirements, including as required by Rule 10-D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the corresponding rules adopted by the Nasdaq Stock Market. |

Stockholder Approval Requirement . In general, stockholder approval of the Restated Equity Plan will implement the foregoing changes while (1) complying with the terms of the Equity Plan regarding amendments, (2) meeting the stockholder approval requirements of Nasdaq, and (3) preserving our ability to grant stock options under the Restated Equity Plan that are intended to qualify as ISOs. If this Proposal 4 is not approved, the Restated Equity Plan will not become effective, the existing Equity Plan will continue in full force and
