the Committee) to grant or approve Awards as necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and to act in lieu of the Committee with respect to Awards made to Non-Employee

 4.1 Eligibility. Participants will consist of such Directors, Employees and Consultants as the Committee in its sole discretion determines and whom the Committee may designate from time to time to

 4.2 Type of Awards. Awards
under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of: (a) Options, (b) Stock Appreciation Rights, (c) Restricted Stock, (d) Other Stock-Based Awards, and (e) Performance-Based Compensation awards. The Plan sets forth

Agreements (which need not be identical) that provide additional terms and conditions associated with such Awards, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but subject to Board Approval; provided, however, that in the

	Article 5.	Shares Subject to the Plan and Maximum Awards 

 5.1 Number of Shares Available for Awards. 
  

	 	(a)	General. Subject to adjustment as provided in Article 12 hereof, the maximum number of Shares available for issuance to Participants pursuant to New Awards under
the Plan shall be 2,500,000 Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Article 12 hereof, the maximum number of Shares available for issuance to Participants pursuant to Assumed CTI Awards under the Plan shall be 5,000,000 Shares. In no event
shall Shares available for issuance pursuant to Assumed CTI Awards be available for issuance pursuant to New Awards. The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury
Shares. With respect to New Awards, any Shares tendered to or withheld by the Company as part or full payment for the purchase price, Option Price or grant price of a New Award granted under this Plan or to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding
obligation with respect to a New Award granted under this Plan, shall again be available for New Awards under the Plan; provided, that such Shares shall continue to be counted as outstanding for purposes of determining whether a Participant
Award Limit has been attained.

Award in any consecutive twelve (12) month period shall be 300,000 Shares and the maximum number of Shares with respect to which any Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to any Participant pursuant to a New Award in any consecutive twelve
(12) month period shall be 300,000 Shares, in each case subject to adjustments made in accordance with Article 12 hereof, or the cash equivalent thereof to the extent such Awards are payable in cash or property. The maximum amount of

Performance-Based Compensation Awards granted to any Participant pursuant to a New Award in any consecutive twelve (12) month period shall be $10,000,000 if such Performance-Based Compensation Awards are denominated in cash rather than shares
(each a “Participant Award Limit” and collectively, “Participant Award Limits”). 

  

	 	(c)	Additional Shares. In the event that any outstanding New Award expires, is forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated without the issuance of Shares or is
otherwise settled for cash, the Shares subject to such New Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, expiration, termination or settlement for cash, shall again be available for New Awards. If the Committee, subject to Board
Approval, authorizes the assumption under this Plan, in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization, of awards granted under another plan, such assumption shall not (i) reduce the maximum
number of Shares available for issuance pursuant to a New Award under this Plan or (ii) be subject to or counted against a Participant’s Participant Award Limit. Any shares available for issuance pursuant to a stockholder-approved equity
incentive plan sponsored by a company acquired by the Company may (following appropriate adjustments to reflect the acquisition, as determined by the Committee and subject to Board Approval) be used for New Awards under the Plan, subject to
applicable law and stock exchange requirements. 

  

	Article 6.	Stock Options 

 6.1
Grant of Options. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to Participants, subject to Board Approval. Each Option shall permit a Participant to purchase from the Company a stated number of Shares at an Option Price established by the
Committee, subject to the terms and conditions described in this Article 6 and to such additional terms and conditions, as established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that are consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Options shall be
designated as either Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options, provided, that Options granted to Directors and Consultants shall be Nonqualified Stock Options. An Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option shall, to the extent
it fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. Neither the Committee, the Board nor the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be liable to any Participant or to any other person if it is determined that
an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements which shall state the number of Shares covered by such Option. Such agreements shall conform to the
requirements of the Plan, and may contain such other provisions, as the Committee shall deem advisable, subject to Board Approval. 
 6.2 Terms of Option Grant. The Option Price of a New Award shall, subject to Board Approval, be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but shall not be less than one-hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. In the case of any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder pursuant to a New Award, the Option Price shall not be less than one-hundred-ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. 
 6.3 Option Term. The term of each Option shall,
subject to Board Approval, be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and shall be stated in the Award Agreement, but in no event shall such term be greater than ten (10) years (or, in the case on an Incentive Stock Option granted to a

 6.4 Time of Exercise. Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercisable at
such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, subject to Board Approval, which terms and restrictions need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant. 

6.5 Method of Exercise. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award Agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or
from time to time any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of this Article 6, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if applicable, the date
payment is received by the Company pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the following sentence (including the applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 15.3 of the Plan). The aggregate Option Price for the Shares as to
which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company in full at the time of exercise at the election of the Participant (i) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by check, draft, money order, cashier’s check, or wire transfer made payable
to the Company), (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee and subject to Board Approval, in Shares (whether or not previously owned by the Participant) having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being
purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, (iii) partly in cash and, to the extent permitted by the Committee and subject to Board Approval, partly in such Shares (as described in (ii) above) or
(iv) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, subject to such requirements as may be imposed by the Committee and subject to Board Approval, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained
upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements
for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The Committee may prescribe any other method of payment that it determines to be consistent with applicable law and the purpose of the Plan, subject to Board Approval. 

6.6 Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or of a
“parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” (as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code) at the date of grant. The aggregate Fair Market Value (generally determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the
Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and of any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” shall
not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), or the Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account generally in the order in which they are
granted. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised later than ten (10) years after the date it is granted. Each provision of the Plan and each Award Agreement relating to an Incentive Stock Option shall be construed so that each Incentive
Stock Option shall be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code, and any provisions of the Award Agreement thereof that cannot be so construed shall be disregarded. 

6.7 Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option
under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date the Participant makes a disqualifying disposition of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any
disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such Shares before the later of (A) two years after the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (B) one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The
Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as agent for the applicable Participant until
the end of the period described in the preceding sentence.

of a Tandem SAR, a Participant shall be required to forfeit the right to purchase an equivalent portion of the related Option (and, when a Share is purchased under the related Option, the Participant shall be required to forfeit an equivalent
portion of the Stock Appreciation Right).

Service whether due to death, disability or other reason) under which the Restricted Stock may be forfeited to the Company and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine but subject to Board Approval. Any Restricted Stock granted under
the Plan shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates (in which case, the 

  
 10 









 
certificate(s) representing such shares shall be legended as to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrances during the Restriction Period and deposited by the Participant, together
with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company, to be held in escrow during the Restriction Period). At the end of the Restriction Period, the restrictions imposed hereunder and under the Award Agreement shall lapse with respect to the
number of Shares of Restricted Stock as determined by the Committee but subject to Board Approval, and the legend shall be removed and such number of Shares delivered to the Participant (or, where appropriate, the Participant’s legal
representative). 
 8.3 Voting and Dividend Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in a
Participant’s Award Agreement, Participant’s holding Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock and have the right to receive dividends on such Restricted Stock,
subject to Board Approval. In no event may dividends be paid to a Participant with respect to Restricted Stock which vests based on the achievement of performance goals until the Restricted Stock which relates to such dividends vests. 

8.4 Performance Goals. The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock or the expiration of the Restriction Period upon
the Participant’s achievement of one or more performance goal(s) specified in the Award Agreement, subject to Board Approval. If the Participant fails to achieve the specified performance goal(s), the Committee shall not grant the Restricted
Stock to such Participant or the Participant shall forfeit the Award of Restricted Stock to the Company, as applicable. 
 8.5 Vesting. Awards of Restricted Stock which vest based on the passage of time may vest at a rate not greater than one third (1/3rd) per year and Awards of Restricted Stock which vest based on the achievement of performance goals may vest no
earlier than one (1) year from the date of grant; provided, that the Committee may, in its discretion but subject to Board Approval, provide for accelerated vesting in the event a Participant’s service to the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate is terminated due to the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement or in the event of a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not be applicable to Awards
of Restricted Stock to the extent such Awards of Restricted Stock in combination with any Other Stock-Based Awards not subject to the vesting restrictions set forth in Section 9.3 do not exceed five percent (5%) of the number of
Shares available for issuance pursuant to Section 5.1(a) on the Effective Date. 
 8.6 Section 83(b)
Election. If a Participant makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code concerning Restricted Stock, the Participant shall be required to file promptly a copy of such election with the Company and timely remit required
withholding taxes via personal check or in accordance with Section 15.3. 
  

	Article 9.	Other Stock-Based Awards 


9.1 Grant of Other Stock Based Awards. The Committee, in its sole discretion but subject to Board Approval, may grant Awards of
Shares and Awards that are valued, in whole or in part, by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, Shares (the “Other Stock-Based Awards”), including without limitation, restricted stock units and other
phantom awards. Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such
Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of Continuous Service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives or goals, in each case subject to Board Approval. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in
addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine, subject to Board Approval, to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made, the number of Shares to be awarded under
(or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards, whether such Other Stock-Based 

  
 11 









 
Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, and all other terms and conditions of such Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and
provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable). 
 9.2 Dividend
Rights. In no event may dividends be paid to a Participant with respect to an Other-Stock-Based Award which vests based on the achievement of performance goals until the Other-Stock-Based Award which relates to such dividends vests. 

9.3 Vesting. Other Stock-Based Awards which vest based on the passage of time may vest at a rate not greater
than one third (1/3rd) per year and Other Stock-Based
Awards which vest based on the achievement of performance goals may vest no earlier than one (1) year from the date of grant; provided, that the Committee may, in its discretion but subject to Board Approval, provide for accelerated
vesting in the event a Participant’s service to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate is terminated due to the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement or in the event of a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not be applicable to Other Stock-Based Awards to the extent such Other Stock-Based Awards in combination with any Awards of Restricted Stock not subject to the vesting restrictions set forth in
Section 8.5 do not exceed five percent (5%) of the number of Shares available for issuance pursuant to Section 5.1(a) on the Effective Date. 

 

	Article 10.	Performance-Based Compensation 

 10.1 Grant of Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee is authorized to design any Award so that the amounts or Shares payable or distributed pursuant to such Award are treated as
“qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and related regulations, subject to Board Approval. 
 10.2 Performance Measures. The vesting, crediting and/or payment of Performance-Based Compensation shall be based on the achievement of objective performance goals based on one or more of the
following Performance Measures: (a) sales or revenue; (b) earnings per share; (c) measurable achievement in quality, operation and compliance initiatives; (d) objectively determinable measure of non-financial operating and
management performance objectives; (e) net earnings (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (f) economic value-added; (g) net income (either before or after taxes); (h) operating income and
segment performance; (i) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); (j) cash flow return on capital; (k) return on net assets; (l) return on stockholders’ equity; (m) return on
assets; (n) return on capital; (o) stockholder returns, dividends and/or other distributions; (p) return on sales; (q) gross or net profit margin; (r) productivity; (s) expenses; (t) margins; (u) operating
efficiency; (v) customer satisfaction; (w) measurable achievement in quality and compliance initiatives; (x) working capital; (y) debt; (z) debt reduction; (aa) price per share of stock; (bb) market share; (cc) completion of
acquisitions; (dd) business expansion; (ee) product diversification; and (ff) new or expanded market penetration. The foregoing criteria shall have any reasonable definitions that the Committee may specify, which may include or exclude any or
all of the following items, as the Committee may specify: (pp) extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items; (qq) effects of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results; (rr) effects of
currency fluctuations; (ss) effects of financing activities (e.g., effect on earnings per share of issuing convertible debt securities); (tt) expenses for restructuring, productivity initiatives or new business initiatives; (uu) impairment of
tangible or intangible assets; (vv) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (ww) non-operating items; (xx) acquisition expenses; (yy) discontinued operations; and (zz) effects of assets sales or divestitures. 

Any Performance Measure may be (i) used to measure the performance of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as a
whole, any business unit or divisional level thereof or any 

  
 12 









 
combination thereof against any goal including past performance or (ii) compared to the performance of a group of comparable companies, or a published or special index, in each case that the
Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, subject to Board Approval. Subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may, but subject to Board Approval, adjust the performance goals (including to pro rate goals and payments for
a partial Performance Period) in the event of the following occurrences: (a) non-recurring events, including divestitures, spin-offs, or changes in accounting standards or policies; (b) mergers and acquisitions; and (c) financing
transactions, including selling accounts receivable. 
 10.3 Establishment of Performance Goals. No later than ninety
(90) days after the commencement of a Performance Period (but in no event after twenty-five percent (25%) of such Performance Period has elapsed), the Committee shall establish in writing: (i) the performance goals applicable to the
Performance Period; (ii) the Performance Measures to be used to measure the performance goals in terms of an objective formula or standard; (iii) the formula for computing the amount of compensation payable to the Participant if such
performance goals are obtained; and (iv) the Participants or class of Participants to which such performance goals apply, in each case subject to Board Approval. The outcome of such performance goals must be substantially uncertain when the
Committee establishes the goals. 
 10.4 Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation. Awards that are designed to
qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward. The Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines but subject to
Board Approval. 
 10.5 Certification of Performance. Except for Awards that pay compensation attributable solely to an
increase in the value of Shares, no Award designed to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be vested, credited or paid, as applicable, with respect to any Participant until the Committee certifies in writing that the performance goals and
any other material terms applicable to such Performance Period have been satisfied. 
 10.6 Performance Goals. The
Committee may condition the grant, vesting or delivery of any Award upon the achievement of one or more performance goal(s) specified in the Award Agreement, subject to Board Approval. 

10.7 Interpretation. Each provision of the Plan and each Award Agreement relating to Performance-Based Compensation shall be
construed so that each such Award shall be “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and related regulations, and any provisions of the Award Agreement thereof that cannot be so
construed shall be disregarded, except as otherwise determined by the Committee. 
  

	Article 11.	Compliance with Section 409A of the Code and Section 457A of the Code 


11.1 General. The Company intends that any Awards be structured in compliance with, or to satisfy an exemption from,
Section 409A, such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties as a result of the Awards. Notwithstanding the Company’s intention, in the event any Award is subject to Section 409A, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion and without a Participant’s prior consent, amend the Plan and/or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and actions with retroactive effect) as are necessary
or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and/or any Award from the application of Section 409A, (ii) preserve the intended tax treatment of any such Award, or (iii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A, including
without limitation any such regulations guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after the date of grant of an Award, in each case subject to Board Approval.


  
 13 









 
This Plan, Awards and Award Agreements granted hereunder shall be interpreted at all times in such a manner that the terms and provisions of the Plan, Awards and Award Agreements are exempt from
or comply with Section 409A. 
 11.2 Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the
Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan or any Award Agreement to a “specified employee”
(as defined under Section 409A) as a result of his or her “separation from service” (as defined below) (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A) shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such
“separation from service” and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award Agreement) on the payment date that immediately follows the end of such six-month period (or, if earlier, within 10 business days following the date of
death of the specified employee) or as soon as administratively practicable within 60 days thereafter, but in no event later than the end of the applicable taxable year. 
 11.3 Separation from Service. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement providing for the payment of any
amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment, unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A and the payment thereof prior to a “separation from service” would violate Section 409A. For purposes of any such provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to
a “termination,” “termination of employment,” “termination of Continuous Service” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” 
 11.4 Section 457A. The Company intends that any Awards be structured in compliance with, or to satisfy an exemption from, Section 457A of the Code and all regulations, guidance,
compliance programs and other interpretative authority thereunder (“Section 457A”), such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties as a result of the Awards. Notwithstanding the Company’s intention, in
the event any Award is subject to Section 457A, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and without a Participant’s prior consent, amend the Plan and/or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including
amendments, policies, procedures and actions with retroactive effect) as are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and/or any Award from the application of Section 457A, (ii) preserve the intended tax treatment of any such
Award, or (iii) comply with the requirements of Section 457A, including without limitation any such regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after the date of the grant, in each case
subject to Board Approval. 
  

	Article 12.	Adjustments 

 12.1
Adjustments in Authorized Shares. In the event of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company, a Subsidiary and/or an Affiliate (including, but not limited to, a change in the Shares of the Company or the capitalization of the
Company) such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of Shares, exchange of Shares, dividend in kind, extraordinary cash dividend,
amalgamation, or other like change in capital structure (other than regular cash dividends to shareholders of the Company), or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Committee, to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights
under the Plan, shall substitute or adjust, in its sole discretion, the number and kind of Shares or other property that may be issued under the Plan or under particular forms of Awards, the number and kind of Shares or other property subject to
outstanding Awards, the Option Price, grant price or purchase price applicable to outstanding Awards, the Participant Award Limits, and/or other value determinations applicable to the Plan or outstanding Awards, in each case subject to Board
Approval. 

  
 14 









 12.2 Change of Control. Unless the Committee shall provide otherwise (subject to
Board Approval) at the time of grant of an Award, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control any outstanding Awards under the Plan which are not assumed by the Company (if it is the surviving company or corporation) or by the surviving company or
corporation or its parent shall immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control vest in full, become exercisable and all restrictions lapse, as may be applicable. 
 Unless the Committee shall provide otherwise (subject to Board Approval) at the time of grant of an Award, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control any outstanding Awards under the Plan which are
assumed by the Company (if it is the surviving company or corporation) or by the surviving company or corporation or its parent shall immediately vest in full, become exercisable and all restrictions lapse, as may be applicable if within twenty four
(24) months following the Change of Control (i) the Participant’s service is terminated by the Company without Cause; (ii) if the Participant has entered into a written employment, consulting or similar agreement with the Company
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate containing a definition of “good reason” (or an equivalent term), the Participant’s service is terminated for “good reason;” or (iii) the Participant’s service is terminated due to
death or Disability. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee is authorized (but not obligated) to make adjustments in
the terms and conditions of outstanding Awards, including without limitation the following (or any combination thereof): (i) continuation or assumption of such outstanding Awards under the Plan by the Company (if it is the surviving company or
corporation) or by the surviving company or corporation or its parent; (ii) substitution by the surviving company or corporation or its parent of awards with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Awards; (iii) accelerated
exercisability, vesting and/or lapse of restrictions under outstanding Awards immediately prior to the occurrence of such event; (iv) upon written notice, provide that any outstanding Awards must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable,
during a reasonable period of time immediately prior to the scheduled consummation of the event, or such other period as determined by the Committee (in either case, contingent upon the consummation of the event), and at the end of such period, such
Awards shall terminate to the extent not so exercised within the relevant period; and (v) cancellation of all or any portion of outstanding Awards for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and which may be zero)
which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or similar Awards, if the Committee so determines, may equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration to be paid in the Change of Control transaction to holders of the same
number of Shares subject to such Awards (or, if no such consideration is paid, Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such outstanding Awards or portion thereof being canceled) over the aggregate Option Price or grant price, as applicable, with
respect to such Awards or portion thereof being canceled (which may be zero), in each case subject to Board Approval. 
  

	Article 13.	Termination of Service 


13.1 Termination of Service For Cause. Unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise, all of a Participant’s Awards (including
any exercised Awards for which Shares have not been delivered to the Participant) shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately on the date Participant’s service terminates if such termination is for Cause or Cause exists on such date (and the
Company shall return to the Participant the price if any paid for such undelivered Shares). 
 13.2 Termination of Service
For Reason Other Than Cause. If a Participant’s service is terminated other than a termination for Cause, then unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise, all unvested Awards will terminate immediately as of the date the
Participant’s service terminates. 

  
 15 










	Article 14.	Duration, Amendment, Modification, Suspension and Termination 

 14.1 Duration of the Plan. Unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 14.2, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. 

14.2 Amendment, Modification, Suspension and Termination of Plan. The Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or
terminate (for purposes of this Section 14.2, an “Action”) the Plan or any portion thereof or any Award (or Award Agreement) thereunder at any time, subject to Board Approval; provided that no such Action shall be made,
other than as permitted under Article 11 or 12, (i) without shareholder approval (A) if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan, (B) if such Action increases the number of
Shares available under the Plan (other than an increase permitted under Article 5 absent shareholder approval), (C) if such Action results in a material increase in benefits permitted under the Plan (but excluding increases that are immaterial
or that are minor and to benefit the administration of the Plan, to take account of any changes in applicable law, or to obtain or maintain favorable tax, exchange, or regulatory treatment for the Company, a Subsidiary, and/or an Affiliate) or a
change in eligibility requirements under the Plan, or (D) for any Action that results in a reduction of the Option Price or grant price per Share, as applicable, of any outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancellation of any
outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, or for other Awards, such as other Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, with an Option Price or grant price per Share, as applicable, that is less than such price of the
original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, and (ii) without the written consent of the affected Participant, if such Action would materially diminish the rights of any Participant under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant
under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may, subject to Board Approval, amend the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement without such consent of the Participant in such manner as it deems necessary to comply with
applicable laws. 
  

	Article 15.	General Provisions 


15.1 No Right to Service. The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company, any Subsidiary or any
Affiliate to continue the Continuous Service of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate may have to terminate the Continuous Service of such Participant. No Participant or other Person
shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and
interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated). 
 15.2 Settlement of Awards; Fractional Shares. Each Award Agreement shall establish the form in which the Award shall be settled. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the
Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, Awards, other securities or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be rounded, forfeited or
otherwise eliminated, subject to Board Approval. 
 15.3 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right
to deduct or withhold automatically from any amount deliverable under the Award or otherwise, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, the amount necessary to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or
regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. With respect to required withholding, Participants may elect (subject to the Company’s automatic withholding right set out above), subject to the
approval of the Committee and Board Approval, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total
tax that could be imposed on the transaction. 

  
 16 









 15.4 No Guarantees Regarding Tax Treatment. Participants (or their beneficiaries)
shall be responsible for all taxes with respect to any Awards under the Plan. The Committee, the Board and the Company make no guarantees to any person regarding the tax treatment of Awards or payments made under the Plan. Neither the Committee, the
Board nor the Company has any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any tax on any person with respect to any Award under Section 409A or Section 457A or otherwise and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, or any of their employees or representatives shall have any liability to a Participant with respect thereto. 

15.5 Section 16 Participants. With respect to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under
the Plan, including Tax Withholding, are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee or the Board fails to so comply, it
shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee or the Board, as applicable. 
 15.6 Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and subject to Board Approval, an Award shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant except in the
event of his death (subject to the applicable laws of descent and distribution) and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. No
transfer shall be permitted for value or consideration. An award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant. Any permitted transfer of the Awards to
heirs or legatees of the Participant shall not be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of
the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof. 
 15.7 Conditions and
Restrictions on Shares. The Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Shares received in connection with an Award as it may deem advisable or desirable, subject to Board Approval. These restrictions may include, but shall
not be limited to, a requirement that the Participant hold the Shares received for a specified period of time or a requirement that a Participant represent and warrant in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Shares for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares. The certificates for Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any conditions and restrictions applicable to such Shares, subject to Board
Approval. 
 15.8 Compliance with Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject
to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies, or any stock exchanges on which the Shares are admitted to trading or listed, as may be required. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or
deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under the Plan prior to: 
  

	 	(a)	Obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and 


 

	 	(b)	Completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable national, state or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the
Company determines to be necessary or advisable. 


  
 17 









 The restrictions contained in this Section 15.8 shall be in addition to any conditions or restrictions
that the Committee may impose pursuant to Section 15.7. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 

15.9 Awards to Non-U.S. Directors, Employees or Consultants. To comply with the laws in countries other than the United States in
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates operates or has Directors, Employees or Consultants, the Committee, in its sole discretion but subject to Board Approval, shall have the power and authority to: 

 

	 	(a)	Determine which Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be covered by the Plan; 

  

	 	(b)	Determine which Directors, Employees or Consultants outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; 


 

	 	(c)	Modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Directors, Employees or Consultants outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws;


  

	 	(d)	Take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local government regulatory exemptions or
approvals; and 

  

	 	(e)	Establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable. Any subplans and
modifications to Plan terms and procedures established under this Section 15.9 by the Committee shall be attached to this Plan document as appendices. 

 15.10 Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares covered
by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares. 
 15.11 Severability. If any provision of
the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision
shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be
stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 15.12 Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may make to aid it in meeting
its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant,
beneficiary, legal representative, or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the
Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts. The Plan is not subject
to the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time. 

  
 18 









 15.13 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to
(i) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or
consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets, or (ii) limit the right or power of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or
appropriate. 
 15.14 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder
shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

 15.15 Governing Law. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware,
excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. 

15.16 Waiver of Certain Claims. By participating in the Plan, the Participant waives all and any rights to compensation or damages
in consequence of the termination of his or her office or Continuous Service for any reason whatsoever, whether lawfully or otherwise, insofar as those rights arise or may arise from his or her ceasing to have rights under the Plan as a result of
such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements, including by reason of the operation of the terms of the Plan, any determination by the Board or Committee pursuant to a discretion contained in the Plan or
any Award Agreement or the provisions of any statute or law relating to taxation. 
 15.17 Data Protection. By
participating in the Plan, the Participant consents to the collection, processing, transmission and storage by the Company in any form whatsoever, of any data of a professional or personal nature which is necessary for the purposes of introducing
and administering the Plan. The Company may share such information with any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the trustee of any employee benefit trust, its registrars, trustees, brokers, other third party administrator or any Person who obtains control of
the Company or acquires the Company, undertaking or part-undertaking which employs the Participant, wherever situated. 

15.18 Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of the date of adoption by the Board, which date is set forth below (the
“Effective Date”); provided, that the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company at an annual meeting or any special meeting of shareholders of the Company within 12 months of the Effective Date, and such approval of
shareholders shall be a condition to the right of each Participant to receive any Awards hereunder. Any Awards granted under the Plan prior to such approval of shareholders shall be effective as of the date of grant, but no such Award may be
exercised or settled and no restrictions relating to any Award may lapse prior to such shareholder approval, and if shareholders fail to approve the Plan as specified hereunder, any such Award shall be cancelled. 

15.19 Erroneously Awarded Compensation. All Awards, if and to the extent subject to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, may be subject to a claw back policy or other incentive compensation policy established from time to time by the Company to comply with such Act.
