 under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee will equitably adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares (or other securities) which thereafter
may be made the subject of Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan (including the share limit and the ISO limit) and (ii) the terms of any outstanding Award, including the exercise price, the number or type of shares or other securities of the
Company or other property subject to outstanding Awards and/or other terms and conditions of outstanding Awards, including the performance criteria of any performance awards.

Effect of Termination of Service or a Change in Control. The Compensation Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any applicable Award agreement,
or may determine in any individual case, an Award may be exercised, settled, vested, paid, repurchased or forfeited in the event of a participant’s termination of service prior to the vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award.

Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), the Compensation Committee may take any one or more of the following actions with respect to any
outstanding Award (which need not be uniform across Awards or participants): (i) continuation or assumption of Awards by the successor or surviving entity or its parent, (ii) substitution or replacement of Awards by the successor or surviving entity
or its parent with cash, securities, rights or other property with substantially the same terms and value as such Awards, (iii) acceleration of the vesting and the lapse of any restrictions either upon termination of service under certain
circumstances prior to or following the change in control or upon the failure of the successor or surviving entity to continue to assume such Awards, (iv) in the case of a performance Award, the determination of the level of attainment of the
applicable performance condition(s), and (v) cancellation of such Award in consideration of a payment in cash, securities or other property or, in certain circumstances, for no consideration.

Clawback. Under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, Awards (including any amounts or benefits arising from such Awards) will be subject to any clawback or
recoupment arrangements or policies the Company has in place from time to time, and the Compensation Committee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and stock exchange rules or by any applicable Company policy or arrangement, and will, to
the extent required, cancel or require reimbursement of any Awards or any shares issued or cash received upon vesting, exercise or settlement
