 (as amended October 13, 2010)

 ARTICLE 1 
 PURPOSE 
 1.1 GENERAL. The purpose of the Sonic Corp. 2006 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the success, and enhance the value, of Sonic Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), by linking the personal interests of its employees, officers and directors to
those of Corporation shareholders and by providing such persons with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Corporation in its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of
employees, officers and directors upon whose judgment, interest and special effort the successful conduct of the Corporation’s operation is largely dependent. Accordingly, the Plan permits the grant of incentive awards from time to time to
selected employees and officers and directors. 
 The Plan is intended to replace the 2001 Sonic Corp. Stock Option Plan and the
2001 Sonic Corp. Directors’ Stock Option Plan and upon the Effective Date (as defined below), no further awards shall be granted under such plans. 
 ARTICLE 2 
 EFFECTIVE DATE 

2.1 EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan shall be effective as of the date upon which it shall be approved by the Board and the shareholders

entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate, the Corporation’s independent certified public accountants, or

 ARTICLE 7 
 STOCK OPTIONS 

7.1 GENERAL. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals on the following terms and conditions:

 (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share of Stock under an Option shall be determined by the

 (b) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to Section 7.1(e). The Committee also
shall determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised. The Committee may waive any exercise provisions at any time in whole or in part based upon factors as the Committee
may determine in its sole discretion so that the Option becomes exerciseable at an earlier date. 
 (c)
PAYMENT. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the exercise price of an Option may be paid (i) in cash, (ii) by actual delivery or attestation to ownership of freely transferable shares of stock already owned;
provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable accounting rules, such shares shall have been held by the Participant for at least six months, (iii) by a combination of cash and shares of Stock equal in value to the
exercise price, (iv) through net share settlement or a similar procedure involving the withholding of shares of Stock subject to the Option with a value equal to the exercise price or (v) by such other means as the Committee, in its
discretion, may authorize. In accordance with the rules and procedures authorized by the Committee for this purpose, an Option may also be exercised through a “cashless exercise” procedure authorized by the Committee that permits
Participants to exercise Options by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Corporation together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Corporation the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary
to pay the exercise price and the amount of any required tax or other withholding obligations.

EVIDENCE OF GRANT. All Options shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Corporation and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such provisions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be specified by the Committee.

its grant. 
 7.2 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan must comply
with the following additional rules: 
 (a) LAPSE OF OPTION. An Incentive Stock Option shall lapse under
the earliest of the following circumstances; provided, however, that the Committee may, prior to the lapse of the Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in paragraphs (3), (4) and (5) below, provide in
writing that the Option will extend until a later date, but if an Option is exercised after the dates specified in paragraphs (3), (4) and (5) below, it will automatically become a Non-Qualified Stock Option: 

(1) The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse as of the option expiration date set forth in the Award Agreement. 

(2) The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse ten years after it is granted, unless an earlier time is set in the Award
Agreement. 
 (3) If the Participant terminates employment for any reason other than as provided in paragraph
(4) or (5) below, the Incentive Stock Option shall lapse, unless it is previously exercised, three months after the Participant’s termination of employment; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is
terminated by the Corporation for Cause, the Incentive Stock Option shall (to the extent not previously exercised) lapse immediately. 
 (4) If the Participant terminates employment by reason of his Disability, the Incentive Stock Option shall lapse, unless it is previously exercised, one year after the Participant’s termination of
employment. 
 (5) If the Participant dies while employed, or during the three-month period described in
paragraph (3) or during the one-year period described in paragraph (4) and before the Option otherwise lapses, the Option shall lapse one year after the Participant’s death. Upon the Participant’s death, any exercisable Incentive
Stock Options may be exercised by the Participant’s beneficiary, determined in accordance with Section 13.5. 
 Unless
the exercisability of the Incentive Stock Option is accelerated as provided in Article 13, if a Participant exercises an Option after termination of employment, the Option may be exercised only with respect to the shares that were otherwise vested
on the Participant’s termination of employment. 
 (b) INDIVIDUAL DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined as of the time an Award is made) of all shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. 

(c) TEN PERCENT OWNERS. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant,
owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate unless the exercise price per share of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per
share of Stock at the date of grant and the Option expires no later than five years after the date of grant. 

  
 8 








  
 (d)
EXPIRATION OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. No Award of an Incentive Stock Option may be made pursuant to the Plan after the day immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. 

(e) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. During a Participant’s lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the
Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s Disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 
 (f) DIRECTORS. The Committee may not grant an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Employee Director. The Committee may grant an Incentive Stock Option to a director who is also an employee of the
Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate but only in that individual’s position as an employee and not as a director. 
 7.3
NO REPRICING OF OPTIONS. The Committee may not “reprice” any Option. “Reprice” means any of the following or any other action that has the same effect: (i) amending an Option to reduce its exercise price,

a merger, acquisition, spin-off or other similar corporate transaction, or (iii) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP, provided that nothing in this Section 7.3 shall prevent the Committee from making
adjustments pursuant to Section 14.1. 
 7.4 OPTION EXCHANGE OFFER. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan to the contrary, upon approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Committee may provide for, and the Company may implement, a one-time-only option exchange offer, pursuant to which certain outstanding Options could, at the election of
the person holding such Options, be tendered to the Company in exchange for the issuance of a lesser amount of Options with a lower exercise price, provided that such one-time-only option exchange offer is commenced within six months of the date of
such stockholder approval. An additional 1.6 million shares of common stock will be available for issuance of options to be granted under the Plan pursuant to the option exchange offer. These shares will be used only for options granted in the
exchange program, and, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if any of those shares are not issued pursuant to the new options granted in the exchange program for any reason (including upon forfeiture or expiration of the new options),
they will cease to be available for issuance under the 2006 Plan.

and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. All Restricted Stock Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. A Restricted Stock Award shall consist of one or more shares of Stock granted to an Eligible
Individual, and shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award and specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 

(b) ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other
restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such
times, under such circumstances, in such installments, upon the satisfaction of performance goals or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. 

  
 10 









  
 (c)
FORFEITURE. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment during the applicable restriction period or upon failure to satisfy a performance goal during the
applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Corporation; provided, however, that the Committee may provide in any Award Agreement that
restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or
forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock. 
 (d) CERTIFICATES FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted
Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend
referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. 
 10.2 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
AWARDS. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Unit Awards to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. All Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by an
Award Agreement. A Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle a Participant to receive, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award, one or more shares of Stock.
Restricted Stock Units may, among other things, be subject to restrictions on transferability, vesting requirements or other specified circumstances under which they may be canceled. Restricted Stock Units may be payable in cash, shares of Stock or
other property, as determined by the Committee and reflected in the Award Agreement. 
 10.3 VESTING PERIOD.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be subject to a vesting period of no less than three years and will vest at the rate of not more than one-third of the award
each year. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS 
 11.1 GRANT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. The
Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Participants subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall entitle the Participant to receive payments (in cash, Stock or other property)
equal to dividends with respect to all or a portion of the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents be paid or distributed when accrued, or be deemed to have
been reinvested in additional shares of Stock or otherwise reinvested; provided, however, that the terms of any reinvestment of Dividend Equivalents must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without
limitation, Section 409A. 
 ARTICLE 12 
 OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS 
 12.1 GRANT OF OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS.
The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of Stock, as deemed by
the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, shares of Stock awarded purely as a “bonus” and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other
rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Stock, stock units, phantom stock and other Awards valued by reference to book value of shares of Stock or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Parents or Subsidiaries. The
Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. 

  
 11 









  
 ARTICLE 13

 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 
 13.1 STAND-ALONE, TANDEM, AND SUBSTITUTE AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution
for, any other Award granted under the Plan. If an Award is granted in substitution for another Award, the Committee may require the surrender of such other Award in consideration of the grant of the new Award. Awards granted in addition to or in
tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards. 

13.2 TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be for the period as determined by the Committee, provided that in no
event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with the Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant (or, if Section 7.2(c) applies, five years from the date
of its grant). 
 13.3 FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award
Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Corporation or a Parent or Affiliate on the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such form as the Committee determines at or after the time of grant, including, without limitation, cash,
Stock, other Awards or other property, or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the
Committee. 
 13.4 LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised or restricted Award may
be pledged, encumbered or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Corporation or a Parent or Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Corporation or a
Parent or Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic
relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Award under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee concludes
that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation or other adverse tax consequences, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option to fail to be described in Section 422(b) of the Code,
(iii) does not result in cash or any other consideration being exchanged for the Award, and (iv) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account any factors deemed relevant, including, without limitation, state or federal tax
or securities laws applicable to transferable Awards. 
 13.5 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 13.4, a
Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian,
legal representative or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and such Award Agreement otherwise
provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a
beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time, provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee. 
 13.6 STOCK CERTIFICATES. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or
state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue
instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. 
 13.7 ACCELERATION UPON DEATH OR
DISABILITY. Unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, upon the Participant’s death or Disability during his employment or service as a director, all outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards and other
Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable and all restrictions on outstanding Awards shall lapse. Any Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other
provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(b), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options.


  
 12 









  
 13.8 ACCELERATION
OF VESTING AND LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, at any time (including, without limitation, prior to, coincident with or subsequent to a Change of Control) determine that in the event of retirement of the
Participant or in the event of a Change of Control, (a) all or a portion of a Participant’s Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully or partially exercisable,
and/or (b) all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the outstanding Awards shall lapse, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare; provided, however, that, with respect to
Awards that are subject to Section 409A, the Committee shall not have the authority to accelerate or postpone the timing of payment or settlement of an Award in a manner that would cause such Award to become subject to the interest and penalty
provisions under Section 409A. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 13.8. 

13.9 OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. If (i) an Award is accelerated under Section 13.8 or (ii) a Change of Control occurs
(regardless or whether acceleration under Section 13.8 occurs), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (a) that the Award will expire after a designated period of time after such acceleration or Change of Control, as
applicable, to the extent not then exercised, (b) that the Award will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (c) that the Award will be assumed by another party to a transaction giving rise to the acceleration or a party to the Change of
Control, (d) that the Award will otherwise be equitably converted or adjusted in connection with such transaction or Change of Control, or (e) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may
be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated; provided, however, that, with respect to Awards that are subject to Section 409A, the Committee shall not have the authority to
accelerate or postpone the timing of payment or settlement of an Award in a manner that would cause such Award to become subject to the interest and penalty provisions under Section 409A. 

13.10 PERFORMANCE GOALS. In order to preserve the deductibility of an Award under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee
may determine that any Award granted pursuant to the Plan to a Participant that is or is expected to become a Covered Employee shall be determined solely on the basis of (a) the achievement by the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of a
specified target return, or target growth in return, on equity or assets, (b) the Corporation’s stock price, (c) the Corporation’s total shareholder return (stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends) relative to a
defined comparison group or target over a specific performance period, (d) the achievement by the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary, or a business unit of any such entity, of a specified target, or target growth in, net income, revenues,
earnings per share, earnings before income and taxes, and earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or (e) any combination of the goals set forth in (a) through (d) above. If an Award is made on such basis, the
Committee shall establish goals prior to the beginning of the period for which such performance goal relates (or such later date as may be permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder), and the Committee has the
right for any reason to reduce (but not increase) the Award, notwithstanding the achievement of a specified goal. Any payment of an Award granted with performance goals shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case
that the performance goals and any other material conditions were satisfied. 
 13.11 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Whether
military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A
termination of employment shall not occur (i) in a circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Corporation to one of its Parents or Subsidiaries, transfers from a Parent or Affiliate to the Corporation, or transfers from one Parent
or Affiliate to another Parent or Affiliate, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified at or prior to such occurrence, in the case of a split-off, spin-off, sale or other disposition of the Participant’s employer from the
Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to extend beyond three months from the date a Participant is deemed to be an employee of the Corporation, a Parent or Affiliate for purposes of
Section 424(f) of the Code, the Options held by such Participant shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options.

 ARTICLE 14

 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 
 14.1 GENERAL. In the event of a corporate transaction involving the Corporation (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the authorization limits under Sections 5.1 and 5.6 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee may adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or
potential benefits of the Awards. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards;
(iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards; (iv) adjustments to the type or form of Award; and (v) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event a
stock dividend or stock split is declared upon the Stock, the authorization limits under Sections 5.1 and 5.6 shall be increased proportionately, and the shares of Stock then subject to each Award shall be increased proportionately without any
change in the aggregate purchase price therefor. 
 ARTICLE 15 

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 
 15.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the Board
or the Committee may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of shareholders of the Corporation if such approval is necessary or deemed advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations.

 15.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any
outstanding Award or Award Agreement without approval of the Participant; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the
Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination; provided further,
however, that the original term of any Option may not be extended. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee shall have broad authority to amend the Plan or any outstanding Award under the Plan without approval of the Participant to the extent necessary or desirable (i) to comply
with, or take into account changes in, applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations or (ii) to ensure that an Award is not subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A.

 ARTICLE 16 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 16.1 NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Participant or any
Eligible Individual shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and neither the Corporation nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Individuals uniformly. 

16.2 NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation unless and until
shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in connection with the exercise, payment or settlement of such Award. 
 16.3
WITHHOLDING. The Corporation or any Subsidiary, Parent or Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and
other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event under the Plan, the
Committee may, at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, require or permit that any such withholding requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) withholding from the Award shares of Stock or (ii) delivering shares of Stock
that are already owned, having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. The
Corporation or any Subsidiary, Parent or Affiliate, as appropriate, shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant (whether or not such payment is made in connection with an Award) any applicable taxes required to
be withheld with respect to such payments. 

  
 14 









  
 16.4 NO RIGHT TO
CONTINUED SERVICE. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer or director at
any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer or director of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate. In its sole discretion, the Board or the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other
arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver shares of Stock with respect to awards hereunder. 
 16.5
UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any
Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate. 
 16.6 INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation from any loss, cost, liability or expense
that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which such member may be a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act
under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such member in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit or proceeding against him; provided such member shall give the Corporation an opportunity, at its own expense, to
handle and defend the same before such member undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled
under the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Corporation may have to indemnify them or hold such persons harmless. 

16.7 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any
pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan. 

16.8 EXPENSES; APPLICATION OF FUNDS. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation and its Parents or
Subsidiaries. The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Stock pursuant to Awards will be used for general corporate purposes. 
 16.9 TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles
or headings, shall control. 
 16.10 GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine
term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 16.11 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such
fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down. 
 16.12 GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. The obligation
of the Corporation to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. To the extent that Awards under the Plan are awarded
to individuals who are domiciled or resident outside of the United States or to persons who are domiciled or resident in the United States but who are subject to the tax laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, the Committee may adjust
the terms of the Awards granted hereunder to such person (i) to comply with the laws of such jurisdiction and (ii) to avoid adverse tax consequences relating to an Award. The authority granted under the previous sentence shall include the
discretion for the Committee to adopt, on behalf of the Corporation, one or more sub-plans applicable to separate classes of Participants who are subject to the laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States. 

  
 15 









  
 16.13 SECURITIES
LAW RESTRICTIONS. An Award may not be exercised or settled and no shares of Stock may be issued in connection with an Award unless the issuance of such shares of Stock has been registered under the 1933 Act and qualified under applicable state
“blue sky” laws and any applicable foreign securities laws, or the Corporation has determined that an exemption from registration and from qualification under such state “blue sky” laws is available. The Corporation shall be
under no obligation to register under the 1933 Act, or any state securities act, any of the shares of Stock issued in connection with the Plan. The shares issued in connection with the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration
under the 1933 Act, and the Corporation may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. The Committee may require each Participant purchasing or acquiring shares of
Stock pursuant to an Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Corporation in writing that such Participant is acquiring the shares of Stock for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. All certificates for
shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any
exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable 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. 

16.14 SATISFACTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Subject to applicable law, the Corporation may apply any cash, shares of Stock, securities or
other consideration received upon exercise or settlement of an Award to any obligations a Participant owes to the Corporation and its Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with the Plan or otherwise, including, without limitation, any
tax obligations or obligations under a currency facility established in connection with the Plan. 
 16.15 SECTION 409A OF
THE CODE. If any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A or could cause an Award to be subject to the interest and penalties under Section 409A, such
provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be modified to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A. Moreover, any discretionary
authority that the Board or the Committee may have pursuant to the Plan shall not be applicable to an Award that is subject to Section 409A to the extent such discretionary authority will contravene Section 409A. 

16.16 GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 16.17 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Each Award Agreement may contain
such other terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee may determine, provided that such other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan
and an Award Agreement, the Plan shall govern and the Award Agreement shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate such conflict or inconsistency. 

  
 16
