discretion to construe and interpret the Plan, prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the Plan’s administration and take any other actions necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan (including, without limitation,
adopting sub-plans applicable to particular Participating Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code). The 










	 	
Committee may correct any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency or ambiguity in the Plan. The decisions of the Committee will be final and binding on all persons. The Committee may
delegate its authority under the Plan to one or more of its members, to members of the Board, or to officers or employees of the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law. All expenses of administering the Plan will be borne by the Company.


  

	4.	Eligibility. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in a manner that is consistent with Section 423 of the Code, any individual who is an Eligible Employee as of the first day of the enrollment period
designated by the Committee for a particular Offering Period will be eligible to participate in that Offering Period, subject to the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. 


Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Eligible Employee will be granted an option under the Plan if either
(i) immediately after the grant of the option, that Eligible Employee would own stock of the Company or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, determined in accordance with Section 424(d) of the Code, or (ii) that option would permit his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (described in
Section 423 of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate that exceeds twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) of the Fair Market Value of that stock (determined at the time the option is granted) for each calendar year in
which that option is outstanding at any time, determined in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code. 
  

	5.	Offering Periods. The Plan will be implemented by a series of separate Offering Periods, each of which will be six (6) months in duration, with new Offering Periods commencing on or about March 14 and
September 14 of each year (or such other time or times as may be determined by the Committee). The first Offering Period under the Plan will commence on March 14, 2017, which shall also be the first Offering Date. The Committee will have
the authority to change the duration, frequency, start and end dates of Offering Periods to the extent permitted by Section 423 of the Code. 

  

	6.	Participation. 

  

	 	(a)	Enrollment; Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee may elect to participate in an Offering Period under the Plan by properly completing an Enrollment Form and submitting it to the Company prior to the
commencement of the Offering Period, at such time as may be specified and in accordance with the enrollment procedures established by the Committee. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary. By submitting an Enrollment Form, the Eligible
Employee authorizes payroll deductions on each payroll date occurring during the applicable Offering Period in the whole percentage of Compensation for such payroll period as he or she elects (but not to exceed ten percent (10%), unless otherwise
determined by the Committee prior to the applicable Offering Period). Payroll deductions will commence on the first payroll date following the Offering Date and end on the last payroll date on or before the Purchase Date. The Company will credit
each Participant’s payroll deductions during an Offering Period to a notional account, but will have no obligation to pay interest on payroll deductions or to hold those amounts in a trust or in any segregated account. Unless expressly
permitted by the Committee, a Participant may not make any separate contributions or payments to the Plan. During an Offering Period, payroll deduction authorizations may not be increased or decreased, except that a Participant may terminate his or
her payroll deductions in accordance with Section 10(a) of the Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Automatic Re-enrollment. The payroll deduction rate selected in the Enrollment Form will remain in effect for subsequent Offering Periods unless the Participant (a) submits a new Enrollment Form authorizing
a new level of payroll deductions in accordance with Section 6(a), (b) withdraws (or is deemed to withdraw) from the Plan in accordance with Section 10 or (c) terminates employment or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan
or an Offering. 

  

	7.	Grant of Option. On each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee who elected to participate in the applicable Offering Period will be granted an option to purchase, on the Purchase Date, a number of shares of
Common Stock determined by dividing the Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions for the applicable Offering Period by the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event will any Participant purchase more than 2,500 shares
of Common Stock during an Offering Period (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 18 and the limitations set forth in Sections 4 and 13). 









	8.	Exercise of Option/Purchase of Shares. A Participant’s option to purchase shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on the Purchase Date of the applicable Offering Period. The Participant’s
accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase the maximum number of whole shares that can be purchased with the amounts in the Participant’s notional account as of the Purchase Date. No fractional shares may be purchased. Any balance
remaining in a Participant’s notional account following the Purchase Date will be automatically refunded to the Participant, except that any balance which is less than the purchase price of one share of Common Stock will be carried forward and
credited to the Participant’s notional account for the following Offering Period, unless the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee or elects not to participate in the following Offering Period in accordance with the terms of the Plan,
in which case the balance of his or her notional account shall be refunded. 

  

	9.	Transfer of Shares. 

  

	 	(a)	Settlement of Purchase of Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Purchase Date, the Company will arrange for the delivery to each Participant of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of
his or her option. The Committee may permit or require that the shares be deposited directly into an ESPP Share Account established in the name of the Participant with a Designated Broker and may require that the shares of Common Stock be retained
with that Designated Broker for a specified period of time. Participants will not have any voting, dividend or other rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to any option granted under the Plan until those shares
have been actually delivered pursuant to this Section 9. 

  

	 	(b)	Six (6) Month Holding Requirement. The Plan is intended to encourage Employee share ownership and align the interests of Employees more closely with the interests the Company’s shareholders.
Accordingly, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of a Participant’s option under the Plan may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than
by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 17) by the Participant until the sixth (6)-month anniversary of the applicable Purchase Date. Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of those shares
in contravention of this Section 9(b) will be null, void and without effect. This six (6)-month holding requirement will cease on the effective date of a Corporate Transaction. 


 

	 	(c)	Sales of Shares. Transactions involving any shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan are subject to, without limitation, (i) the Company’s Policy on Insider Trading and Corporate Communications,
(ii) applicable securities laws, including insider trading laws, and (iii) for those Participants designated as “affiliates” and/or “Section 16 Insiders” of the Company, Rule 144 and/or Section 16 reporting
and other requirements, as applicable. 

  

	10.	Withdrawal. 

  

	 	(a)	Withdrawal Procedure. A Participant may irrevocably withdraw from an Offering by submitting to the Company a revised Enrollment Form indicating his or her election to decrease his or her rate of payroll
deductions to zero and to withdraw at least fifteen (15) days before the Purchase Date (and if the Participant intends to revoke automatic re-enrollment for future Offering Periods, he or she should so indicate in that revised Enrollment Form).
If a Participant irrevocably withdraws from an Offering, he or she may elect to be refunded the accumulated balance of his or her notional account or to allow the accumulated balance to purchase shares on the Purchase Date. If elected, the
accumulated payroll deductions held on behalf of a Participant in his or her notional account (that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock) will be paid to the Participant reasonably promptly following receipt of the
Participant’s Enrollment Form indicating his or her election to withdraw and the Participant’s option will be automatically terminated. If a Participant withdraws (or is deemed to withdraw) from an Offering Period, he or she cannot
thereafter participate in that same Offering Period. 









	 	(b)	Effect on Succeeding Offering Periods. A Participant’s election to withdraw from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in succeeding Offering Periods that
commence following the completion of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws. 

  

	11.	Termination of Employment; Change in Employment Status. Upon termination of a Participant’s employment for any reason, including death, disability or retirement, or a change in the Participant’s
employment status following which the Participant is no longer an Eligible Employee, which in each case occurs at least fifteen (15) days before the Purchase Date, the Participant will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan and the payroll
deductions in the Participant’s notional account (that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock) will be returned to the Participant, or in the case of the Participant’s death, to the person(s) entitled to those amounts under
Section 17, and the Participant’s option under any then-current Offering will be automatically terminated. If the Participant’s termination of employment or change in status occurs within fifteen (15) days before a Purchase Date, the
accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date, unless otherwise elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 10. 


 

	12.	Interest. No interest will accrue on or be payable with respect to the payroll deductions of a Participant in the Plan. 

  

	13.	Shares Reserved for Plan. 

  

	 	(a)	Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 18, a total of 250,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved as authorized and available for purchase pursuant to the exercise of options
granted under the Plan. The shares of Common Stock delivered upon the exercise of options under the Plan may be newly-issued shares, treasury shares or shares acquired on the open market. For the avoidance of doubt, if any option granted under the
Plan expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full or ceases for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares of Common Stock subject to such option will remain available for purchase pursuant
to the exercise of options granted under the Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Over-Subscribed Offerings. The number of shares of Common Stock which a Participant may purchase in an Offering under the Plan may be reduced if the Offering is over-subscribed. No option granted under the Plan
will permit a Participant to purchase shares of Common Stock which, if added together with the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by all other Participants in that Offering, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock
remaining available under the Plan. If the Committee determines that, on a particular Purchase Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock then available
under the Plan, the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as reasonably practicable and as the Committee determines to be equitable, and the Committee’s
determinations will be final and binding on all Participants. In such event, the Committee shall give written notice to each Participant of such reduction and shall reduce the rate of payroll deductions, if necessary. 


 

	14.	Transferability. No payroll deductions credited to a Participant’s notional account, nor any rights with respect to the exercise of an option or any rights to receive Common Stock under the Plan, may be
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 17) by the Participant. Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any
rights or amounts in contravention of this Section 14 will be null, void and without effect. 

  

	15.	Application of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose to the extent permitted by applicable law, and the Company will not
be required to segregate any payroll deductions or contributions from its general assets. 

  

	16.	Statements. Each Participant will be provided with statements at least annually which will set forth the contributions made by that Participant to the Plan, the Purchase Price of any shares of Common Stock
purchased with accumulated funds, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and any payroll deduction amounts remaining in that Participant’s notional account. 









	17.	Designation of Beneficiary. A Participant may file, on forms supplied by the Committee, a written designation of beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock from the Participant’s ESPP Share
Account under the Plan and any accumulated balance in the Participant’s notional account, in each case, in the event of that Participant’s death. 

  

	18.	Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions. 

  

	 	(a)	Adjustments. If there shall occur any change with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split or other distribution with respect to the shares of Common Stock or any merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination, spin-off, stock purchase or other similar corporate change or any other change affecting the Common Stock
(other than regular cash dividends to shareholders of the Company), the Committee shall, in the manner and to the extent it considers equitable to the Participants and consistent with the terms of the Plan, cause an adjustment to be made to number
and type of shares that may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option under the Plan, and the numerical limits of Section 7 and Section 13; provided, that
any such adjustment shall be made in a manner that complies with Section 423 of the Code. 

  

	 	(b)	Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor or a parent or Subsidiary of that successor. If the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute the option, the Committee may (i) cancel each outstanding option and return the balance in each Participant’s notional account to the Participant or (ii) pursuant to
Section 19(i), terminate the Offering Period with respect to which the option relates by setting a new Purchase Date on which the Offering Period will end. Any such new Purchase Date will be determined by the Committee and will occur before the
effective date of the Corporate Transaction. Prior to any new Purchase Date, the Committee will provide each Participant with written notice, which may be electronic, of the new Purchase Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised
automatically on that date, unless before that time, the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering in accordance with Section 10 or has been deemed to withdraw in accordance with Section 11. 


 

	19.	General Provisions. 

  

	 	(a)	Equal Rights and Privileges. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary and in accordance with Section 423 of the Code, all Eligible Employees who are granted options under the Plan will have
the same rights and privileges. 

  

	 	(b)	No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor any option granted under the Plan will confer on any Participant the right to continue as an Employee or in any other capacity. 


 

	 	(c)	Rights as Shareholder. A Participant will become a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock that are purchased pursuant to options granted under the Plan only after the shares are transferred to the
Participant or the Participant’s ESPP Share Account. A Participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to an option under the Plan until that Participant becomes a shareholder as provided above.


  

	 	(d)	Successors and Assigns. The Plan will be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns. 

  

	 	(e)	Entire Plan. The Plan constitutes the entire plan with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior plans with respect to the subject matter hereof. 


 

	 	(f)	Compliance with Law. The obligations of the Company with respect to payments under the Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Common Stock will not be issued with respect to an
option granted under the Plan unless the exercise of that option and the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to that option will comply with all applicable provisions of laws and regulations, including, without limitation,
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed. 









	 	(g)	Notice of Disqualifying Dispositions. Each Participant will give the Company prompt written notice of any disposition or other transfer of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an option
under the Plan, if that disposition or transfer is made within two (2) years after the Offering Date. 

  

	 	(h)	Term of Plan. The Plan will become effective on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 19(i) or Section 19(k), will have a term of ten years from the Effective Date.


  

	 	(i)	Amendment or Termination. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. Any amendment that would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for
purposes of Section 423 of the Code will have no force or effect unless approved by the Company’s shareholders within twelve (12) months before or after its adoption. If the Plan is terminated, the Committee may elect to terminate all
outstanding Offering Periods either immediately, on the next scheduled Purchase Date (which may, in the discretion of the Committee, be accelerated) or at such other date as the Committee may specify and may elect to return the balance of each
Participant’s notional account or permit outstanding options to be exercised on the next scheduled Purchase Date. If the Plan is terminated, all amounts that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned to Participants
(without interest, except as otherwise required by law) as soon as administratively practicable. 

  

	 	(j)	Applicable Law. The laws of the State of Delaware will govern all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and application of the Plan, without regard to that state’s conflict of law
rules. 

  

	 	(k)	Shareholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by Company shareholders within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. In the event that shareholder approval
is not obtained before the first Purchase Date under the Plan, all options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be cancelled and become null and void. 


 

	 	(l)	Section 423. The Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. Any provision of the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 423 of the
Code will be reformed to comply with Section 423 of the Code. 

  

	 	(m)	Withholding. To the extent required by applicable Federal, state or local law, a Participant must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of any withholding or similar tax obligations that
arise in connection with the Plan. 

  

	 	(n)	Severability. If any provision of the Plan will for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, that invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Plan, and the Plan will be
construed as if that invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. 

  

	 	(o)	Headings. The headings of sections in the Plan are included solely for convenience and will not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.
