 The Board shall
have such powers and authorities related to the administration of the Plan as are consistent with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law. The Board shall have full power and authority to take all actions and to
make all determinations required or provided for under the Plan, any Grant or any Award Agreement, and shall have full power and authority to take all such other actions and make all such other determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms
and provisions of the Plan that the Board deems to be necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan, any Grant or any Award Agreement. All such actions and determinations shall be by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of
the Board present at a meeting or by unanimous consent of the Board executed in writing in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law. The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provision
of the Plan, any Grant or any Award Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive. As permitted by law, the Board may delegate its authority under the Plan to a member of the Board or an Executive Officer; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise provided by resolution of the Board, only the Board or the Committee may make a Grant to a Reporting Person of the Company and establish the number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Grants with respect to any fiscal period.

  

	 	3.2.	Committee. 

 The Board
from time to time may delegate to a Committee such powers and authorities related to the administration and implementation of the Plan, as set forth in Section 3.1 hereof and in other applicable provisions of the Plan, as the Board shall
determine, consistent with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law. In the event of any such delegation to a Committee, and as the context

  

 - 6 - 








 
requires, reference in this Plan to the Board shall be a reference to the Committee. In the event that the Plan, any Grant or any Award Agreement provides for any action to be taken or
determination to be made by the Board, such action may be taken by or such determination may be made by the Committee if the power and authority to do so has been delegated to the Committee by the Board as provided for in this
Section 3.2. Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board, any such action or determination by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. As permitted by law, the Committee may delegate the authority delegated to it by
the Board under the Plan to a member of the Board or an Executive Officer; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided by the Board, only the Board or the Committee may make a Grant to a Reporting Person of the Company and establish the
number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Grants during any fiscal period. 
  

	 	3.3.	Grants. 

 Subject to the
other terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board shall have full and final authority (i) to designate Grantees, (ii) to determine the types of Grants to be made to a Grantee, (iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be
subject to a Grant, (iv) to establish the terms and conditions of each Grant, including, without limitation, the Option Price of any Option, the nature and duration of any restriction or condition (or provision for lapse thereof, including any
lapse relating to a change in control of the Company) relating to the vesting, exercise, transfer or forfeiture of a Grant or the shares of Stock subject thereto, the treatment of a Grant in the event of a Corporate Transaction, and any terms or
conditions that may be necessary to qualify Options as Incentive Stock Options, (v) to prescribe the form of each Award Agreement evidencing a Grant, (vi) to make Grants alone, in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange
for any other Grant or any other award granted under another plan of the Company or a Subsidiary, and (vii) to amend, modify or supplement the terms of any outstanding Grant. Such authority shall specifically include the authority, in order to
effectuate the purposes of the Plan but without amending the Plan, to modify Grants to eligible individuals who are foreign nationals or are individuals who are employed outside the United States of America to recognize differences in local law, tax
policy or custom. As a condition to any subsequent Grant, the Board shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Grantees to return to the Company any Grants previously awarded under the Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, any such subsequent Grant shall be upon such terms and conditions as are specified by the Board at the time the subsequent Grant is made. The Board’s authority pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall include the authority, with the
consent of the affected Grantee, to cancel any Option or other Grant and to substitute a new Option or other Grant covering the same or a different number of shares of Stock and with the same or different vesting schedule and other terms. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of a substitute Option, the new Option may have the same, a higher or a lower Option Price. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Option Price of an Option or the grant price
of an SAR that is an award granted upon assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by a company or other entity acquired by the Company or any Affiliate thereof or

  

 - 7 - 








 
with which the Company or any Affiliate thereof combines, may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the original date of grant; provided, that, the Option Price or
grant price is determined in accordance with the principles of Code section 424 and the regulations thereunder, as modified by Code section 409A and the regulations thereunder with respect to Non-qualified Stock Options and SARs. The Board’s
authority pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall include the authority to implement an exchange of Grants by means of an exchange offer. 
 The Company may retain the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee on account of actions taken by the Grantee in violation or breach of, or in conflict with,
any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate thereof or
otherwise in competition with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent specified in such Award Agreement applicable to the Grantee. 
 The Board may permit or require the deferral of any award payment into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the
payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents, including the converting of such credits into deferred Stock equivalents. Any such deferrals shall be made in a manner that complies with Code section 409A. 
  

	 	3.4.	No Liability. 

 No member
of the Board or of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Grant or Award Agreement. 
  

	4.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

  

	 	4.1.	Aggregate Limitation. 

 Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 20 hereof, the aggregate number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Options or other Grants shall be eleven million three hundred and five thousand
three hundred thirty-four (11,305,334) shares, which may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or issued and outstanding shares that are purchased in the open market or otherwise. Any shares of Stock granted under the Plan which
are forfeited to the Company because of the failure to meet an award contingency or condition shall again be available for issuance pursuant to new awards granted under the Plan. Any shares of Stock covered by an award (or portion of an award)
granted under the Plan which is forfeited or canceled, expires or is settled in cash shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If any Option is
exercised by tendering shares of Stock, either actually or by attestation, to the Company

  

 - 8 - 








 
as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of an Option or a stock option under any prior plan of the Company as herein described, only the number of shares of Stock issued net of
the shares of Stock tendered shall be deemed issued for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Shares of Stock issued under the Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of
outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards resulting from the acquisition of another Person shall not reduce the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. 
  

	 	4.2.	Other Plan Limits. 

 Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 20 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered through Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be three million six hundred fifty thousand
(3,650,000) shares. 
  

	 	4.3.	Payment Shares. 

 Subject
to the overall limitation on the number of shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Board may use available shares of Stock as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plans
or arrangements of the Company, including the plan of any Person acquired by the Company, and such shares of Stock used as such payment shall not count against the limitation on the maximum number of shares specified in Section 4.1
hereof. 
  

	 	4.4.	Application of Aggregate Limitation. 

 The Board may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, to avoid double counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or substitute awards) and to make adjustments if the
number of shares of Stock actually delivered differs from the number of shares of Stock previously counted in connection with a Grant. 
  

	 	4.5.	Per-Grantee Limitation.

that may be earned as a Performance Award or other cash Grant in respect of a performance period by any one Grantee shall be $5,000,000.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, use the book-entry method of recording Stock ownership in lieu of issuing certificates evidencing Stock ownership for any purpose
under the Plan. 
  

	5.	EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN 

  

	 	5.1.	Effective Date. 

 The Plan
was effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan as herein amended and restated was effective as of February 6, 2008 (the “Amendment and Restatement Date”). 
  

	 	5.2.	Term. 

 The Plan shall
terminate ten years after the Amendment and Restatement Date.

 - 10 - 









	 	6.2.	Multiple Grants. 

 An
eligible Person may receive more than one Grant, subject to such restrictions as are provided in the Plan. 
  

	7.	LIMITATIONS ON GRANTS OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS 

 An Option shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (i) if the Grantee of such Option is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, (ii) to the extent specifically provided in the related
Award Agreement and (iii) to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options held by such Grantee become exercisable for the
first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Grantee’s employer and its Affiliates) does not exceed $100,000. This limitation shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which such Options
were granted. 
  

	8.	AWARD AGREEMENT 

 Each
Grant pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, in such form or forms as the Board shall from time to time determine. Award Agreements issued from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions, but shall
be consistent with the terms of the Plan. Each Award Agreement evidencing a Grant of Options shall specify whether such Options are intended to be Non-qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, and in the absence of such specification such
options shall be deemed to be Non-qualified Stock Options. 
  

	9.	OPTION PRICE 

 The Option
Price of each Option shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date and stated in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that in the event that a Grantee would otherwise be ineligible to
receive an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the provisions of Code sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) (relating to ownership of more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Stock), the Option Price of an Option granted to such Grantee
that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. In no case shall the Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of a share of Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options for 666,667 shares of Stock granted by the Company pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization shall have the Option Prices set forth in the Plan of Reorganization and shall be Non-qualified Stock Options.

	10.	VESTING, TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 

  

	 	10.1.	Vesting and Option Period. 

 Subject to Sections 10.2 and 20 hereof, each Option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement. For purposes of
this Section 10.1, fractional numbers of shares of Stock subject to an Option shall be rounded down to the next nearest whole number. The period during which any Option shall be exercisable shall constitute the “Option Period”
with respect to such Option. 
  

	 	10.2.	Term. 

 Each Option
granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set
forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Board and thereafter stated in the Award Agreement relating to such Option; provided, however, that in the event that the Grantee would otherwise be ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option by
reason of the provisions of Code sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) (relating to ownership of more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Stock), an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not
be exercisable after the expiration of five years from its date of grant. 
  

	 	10.3.	Acceleration. 

 Any
limitation on the exercise of an Option contained in any Award Agreement may be rescinded, modified or waived by the Board, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time after the Grant Date of such Option, so as to accelerate the time
at which the Option may be exercised. 
  

	 	10.4.	Termination of Employment or Other Relationship for a Reason Other than Death or Disability. 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, upon the termination of a Grantee’s employment or
other relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries other than by reason of death or Disability, any Option or portion thereof held by such Grantee that has not vested in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 hereof shall
terminate immediately, and any Option or portion thereof that has vested in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 hereof but has not been exercised shall, subject to Section 17 hereof, terminate at the close of
business upon the expiration of three months following the Grantee’s termination of employment or other relationship (or, if such day is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, at the close of business on the next preceding day that is not a Saturday,
Sunday or holiday). Upon such termination

  

 - 12 - 








 
of an Option or portion thereof, the Grantee shall have no further right to purchase shares of Stock pursuant to such Option or portion thereof. Whether a leave of absence or leave on military or
government service shall constitute a termination of employment or other relationship for purposes of the Plan shall be determined by the Board, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. For purposes of the Plan, a termination of
employment, service or other relationship shall not be deemed to occur if the Grantee is immediately thereafter employed with the Company, a Subsidiary or a Service Provider, or is engaged as a Service Provider or an Outside Director. Whether a
termination of a Grantee’s employment or other relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have occurred shall be determined by the Board, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
  

	 	10.5.	Rights in the Event of Death. 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, if a Grantee dies while employed by or providing services to the Company or a Subsidiary, all Options granted to such Grantee that have not previously
terminated shall fully vest on the date of such Grantee’s death, and the executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of such Grantee’s estate shall have the right, at any time within one year after the date of such
Grantee’s death and prior to termination of any Option pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, to exercise any Option held by such Grantee at the date of such Grantee’s death. 
  

	 	10.6.	Rights in the Event of Disability. 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, if a Grantee’s employment or other relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated by reason of the
Disability of such Grantee, such Grantee’s Options that have not previously terminated shall fully vest, and shall be exercisable for a period of one year after such termination of employment or other relationship, subject to earlier
termination of such Options as provided in Section 10.2 hereof. Whether a termination of employment or other relationship is considered to be by reason of Disability for purposes of the Plan shall be determined by the Board, whose
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
  

	 	10.7.	Limitations on Exercise of Option. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option granted pursuant to the amended and restated Plan be exercised, in whole or in part, after ten years following the date upon
which any Option is granted, or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 20 hereof which results in termination of the Option. 
  

 - 13 - 









	 	10.8.	Method of Exercise. 

 An
Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Company of written notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal office, addressed to the attention of the Board. Such notice shall specify
the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised. Payment of the Option Price for the
shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made (a) in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company; (b) to the extent permitted by law and at the Board’s discretion, through the actual or
constructive tender to the Company of shares of Stock, which shares of Stock, if acquired from the Company, shall have been held for at least six months prior to such tender and which shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which
the Option Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or (c) to the extent permitted by law and at the Board’s discretion, by a combination of the methods described in clauses (a) and
(b) above. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, and subject to the
limitation provided in the last sentence of this paragraph with regard to the Company’s Executive Officers and Directors, if at the time of exercise the Stock is publicly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, another
established securities exchange or any other market, the Grantee may exercise an Option by delivering a written direction to the Company that such Option will be exercised pursuant to a “cashless” exercise/sale procedure (pursuant to which
funds to pay for exercise of the option shall be delivered to the Company by a broker upon receipt of stock certificates from the Company) or a “cashless” exercise/loan procedure (pursuant to which the Grantee shall obtain a margin loan
from a broker to fund the exercise). Such a procedure shall be effectuated through a licensed broker acceptable to the Company. The certificate or certificates for the shares of Stock for which the Option is exercised shall be delivered to such
broker as the agent for the individual exercising such Option and the broker shall deliver to the Company cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company) equal to the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of
such Option, plus the amount (if any) of federal and other taxes that the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to the exercise of such Option. 
 Any attempt to exercise any Option granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and of no force and effect. 

 

	 	10.9.	Rights as a Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, an individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder (for example, the right
to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the subject shares of Stock or to direct the voting of the subject shares of

  

 - 14 - 








 
Stock) until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued to such individual. Except as provided in Section 20 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance. However, the Board may, on such conditions as it deems appropriate, provide that a Grantee shall receive a benefit in lieu of cash dividends that would
have been payable on any or all shares of Stock subject to the Grant if such shares of Stock had been outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may provide for payment to the Grantee of amounts representing such
dividends, either currently or in the future, or for the investment of such amounts on behalf of the Grantee. 
  

	 	10.10.	Delivery of Stock Certificates. 

 After the exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option Price, such Grantee shall be entitled to the issuance of a certificate or certificates evidencing such Grantee’s ownership of the shares of Stock
subject to such Option. 
  

	11.	TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS 

  

	 	11.1.	General Rule. 

 Except as
provided in Section 11.2 hereof, during the lifetime of a Grantee, only such Grantee (or, in the event of such Grantee’s legal incapacity or incompetency, such Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an Option.
Except as provided in Section 11.2 hereof, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom such Option is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	 	11.2.	Family Transfers. 

 To the
extent permitted by the Board and under such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the Board, a Grantee may transfer all or part of an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option to (i) any Immediate Family Member, (ii) any trust in
which Immediate Family Members have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, (iii) any foundation in which Immediate Family Members (or the Grantee) control the management of the assets or (iv) any other entity in which Immediate Family
Members (or the Grantee) own more than 50% of the voting interests; provided that (a) there may be no consideration for any such transfer, and (b) subsequent transfers of transferred Options or transfers of an interest in a trust,
foundation or other entity to which an Option has been transferred, except those transfers effectuated in accordance with this Section 11.2 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, are prohibited. Following such transfer, any
such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to such Option immediately prior to such transfer, provided that, for purposes of this Section 11.2, the term “Grantee” shall be
deemed to refer to the transferee of such Option. The events of termination of employment or other relationship referred to in Section 10.4 hereof shall continue to be applicable with respect to the original Grantee, following which
events the applicable Option shall be exercisable by the transferee thereof only to the extent and for the periods specified in Section 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 hereof. 
  

 - 15 - 









	 	11.3.	Notice of Disqualifying Disposition. 

 If any Grantee shall make any disposition of shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Code section 421(b) (relating to certain
disqualifying dispositions), such Grantee shall notify the Company of such disposition within 10 days thereof. 
  

	12.	RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS 

  

	 	12.1.	Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units. 

 The Board from time to time may grant Restricted Stock or Stock Units to persons eligible to receive Grants under Section 6 hereof, subject to such restrictions, conditions and other terms as
the Board may determine. 
  

	 	12.2.	Restrictions. 

 At the
time a Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, the Board shall establish a period of time (the “Restricted Period”) applicable to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Each Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be subject
to a different Restricted Period. At the time a Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, the Board may, in its sole discretion, prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than the expiration of the Restricted Period, including the
satisfaction of corporate or individual performance objectives, which may be applicable to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Subject to Section 15 hereof, the Board also may, in its sole discretion, shorten or
terminate the Restricted Period or waive any other restrictions applicable to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Neither Restricted Stock nor Stock Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or
disposed of during the Restricted Period or prior to the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Board with respect to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. 
  

	 	12.3.	Restricted Stock Certificates. 

 Promptly after the Grant Date, the Company shall issue, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock has been granted, certificates representing the total number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to such Grantee. The Board may
provide in an Award Agreement that either (i) the Secretary of the Company shall hold such certificates for the Grantee’s benefit until such time as the Restricted Stock is forfeited to the Company or the restrictions lapse, or
(ii) such certificates shall be delivered to the Grantee, provided, however, that such certificates shall bear a legend or legends complying with the applicable securities laws and regulations and making appropriate reference to the
restrictions imposed under the Plan and such Award Agreement. 
  

 - 16 - 









	 	12.4.	Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock. 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, holders of shares of Restricted Stock shall have the right to vote such shares of Restricted Stock and the right to
receive any dividends declared or paid with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock. The Board may provide that any dividends paid on Restricted Stock must be reinvested in shares of Stock, which may or may not be subject to the same vesting
conditions and restrictions which are applicable to such Restricted Stock. All distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other similar
transaction shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to the original Grant. 
  

	 	12.5.	Rights of Holders of Stock Units. 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, holders of Stock Units shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company. The Board may provide in an Award Agreement evidencing a Grant of Stock Units
that the holder of such Stock Units shall be entitled to receive, upon the Company’s payment of a cash dividend on its outstanding shares of Stock, a cash payment for each Stock Unit held equal to the per-share dividend paid on the shares of
Stock. Such Award Agreement may also provide that such cash payment shall be deemed reinvested in additional Stock Units at a price per unit equal to the Fair Market Value of a share on the date that such dividend is paid. 
  

	 	12.6.	Termination of Employment or Other Relationship for a Reason Other than Death or Disability. 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, upon the termination of a Grantee’s employment or
other relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries, in either case other than, in the case of individuals, by reason of death or Disability, any Restricted Stock or Stock Units held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to
which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or Stock Units, the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to such Grant, including, without
limitation, any right to vote such Restricted Stock or any right to receive dividends with respect to Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Whether a leave of absence or leave on military or government service shall constitute a termination of employment
or other relationship for purposes of the Plan shall be determined by the Board, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. For purposes of the Plan, a termination of employment, service or other relationship shall not be deemed to
occur if the Grantee is immediately thereafter employed with the Company, a Subsidiary

  

 - 17 - 








 
or a Service Provider, or is engaged as a Service Provider or an Outside Director. Whether a termination of a Grantee’s employment or other relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries
shall have occurred shall be determined by the Board, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
  

	 	12.7.	Rights in the Event of Death. 

 If a Grantee dies while employed by the Company, a Subsidiary or a Service Provider, or while serving as a Service Provider, all Restricted Stock or Stock Units granted to such Grantee shall fully vest on the date of death unless provided
otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement relating to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units as approved by the Board. Upon such vesting, the shares of Stock represented thereby shall be deliverable in accordance with the terms of the Plan to the
executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of the Grantee’s estate. 
  

	 	12.8.	Rights in the Event of Disability. 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement as approved by the Board, if a Grantee’s employment or other relationship with the Company, a Subsidiary or a Service Provider, or service
as a Service Provider, is terminated by reason of the Disability of such Grantee, such Grantee’s then unvested Restricted Stock or Stock Units shall be fully vested. 
  

	 	12.9.	Delivery of Shares and Payment Therefor. 

 Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Board, the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock or Stock Units shall
lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement relating to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units as approved by the Board, upon payment by the Grantee to the Company, in cash or by check, of the greater of (i) the
aggregate par value of the shares of Stock represented by such Restricted Stock or Stock Units or (ii) the purchase price, if any, specified in such Award Agreement, a certificate for such shares shall be delivered, free of all such
restrictions, to the Grantee or the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. In the discretion of the Board, if the purchase price is par value for the Restricted Stock or Stock Units, such purchase price may be deemed paid in
consideration for past or future Services rendered to the Company or an Affiliate.

	13.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

  

	 	13.1.	Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. 

 The Board may from time to time grant SARs to persons eligible to receive grants under Section 6 hereof, subject to the provisions of this Section 13 and to such restrictions,
conditions and other terms as the Board may determine. 
  

	 	13.2.	Nature of a Stock Appreciation Right. 

 An SAR shall confer on the Grantee a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (x) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (y) the grant price of
the SAR, as determined by the Board. Unless the Board provides otherwise in the Award Agreement, the grant price of an SAR shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. 
  

	 	13.3.	Terms and Conditions Governing SARs. 

 The Board shall determine at the Grant Date or thereafter (i) the time or times at which and the circumstances under which an SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including exercise based on
achievement of performance objectives or future service requirements), (ii) the time or times at which and the circumstances under which an SAR shall cease to be exercisable, (iii) the method of exercise, (iv) the method of
settlement, (v) the form of consideration payable in settlement, (vi) whether or not an SAR shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Grant, and (vii) any other terms and conditions of any SAR. 
  

	 	13.4.	Transferability. 

 Except
as provided in Section 13.5 hereof, during the lifetime of a Grantee, only such Grantee (or, in the event of such Grantee’s legal incapacity or incompetency, such Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an SAR.
Except as provided in Section 13.5 hereof, no SAR shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom such SAR is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	 	13.5.	Family Transfers. 

 To the
extent permitted by the Board and under such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the Board, a Grantee may transfer all or part of an SAR to (i) any Immediate Family Member, (ii) any trust in which Immediate Family Members have more
than 50% of the beneficial interest, (iii) any foundation in which Immediate Family Members (or the Grantee) control the management of the assets or (iv) any other entity in which Immediate Family Members (or the Grantee) own more than 50%
of the voting interests; provided that (a) there may be no consideration for any such transfer, and (b) subsequent transfers of transferred SARs or transfers of an interest in a trust, foundation

  

 - 19 - 








 
or other entity to which an SAR has been transferred, except those transfers effectuated in accordance with this Section 13.5 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, are
prohibited. Following such transfer, any such SAR shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to such SAR immediately prior to such transfer, provided that, for purposes of this Section 13.5, the
term “Grantee” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee of such SAR. 
  

	14.	UNRESTRICTED STOCK 

 The
Board may, in its sole discretion, grant Stock (or authorize the Company to sell Stock at par value or such other higher purchase price determined by the Board) free of restrictions other than those required under federal or state securities laws
(“Unrestricted Stock”) to persons eligible to receive grants under Section 6 hereof. Unrestricted Stock may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence in respect of past services or other valid
consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due to the Grantee thereof. 
  

	15.	PERFORMANCE AND ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS 

  

	 	15.1.	Performance Conditions. 

 The right of a Grantee to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of a Grant, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Board. The Board may use such business criteria and other
measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to reduce the amounts payable under any Award subject to performance conditions, except as limited under
Section 15.2 hereof in the case of a Performance Award or an Annual Incentive Award intended to qualify under Code section 162(m). If and to the extent required under Code section 162(m), any power or authority relating to a Performance
Award or an Annual Incentive Award intended to qualify under Code section 162(m) shall be exercised by the Committee and not the Board. 
  

	 	15.2.	Performance or Annual Incentive Awards Granted to Designated Covered Employees. 

 If and to the extent that the Committee determines that a Performance Award or an Annual Incentive Award to be granted to a Grantee who is
designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee should qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code section 162(m), the grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Performance Award or Annual Incentive
Award shall be contingent upon achievement of pre-established performance goals and other terms set forth in this Section 15.2. The performance goals for such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall consist of one or more business
criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this

  

 - 20 - 








 
Section 15.2. Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Code section 162(m) and regulations thereunder, including the requirement that the
level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee shall result in the achievement of performance goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Committee may determine that such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall be granted,
exercised and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards. Performance goals
may differ for Performance or Annual Incentive Awards granted to any one Grantee or to different Grantees. 
 One or more
of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or specified subsidiaries, business units or business lines of the Company (except with respect to the total stockholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall
be used exclusively by the Committee in establishing performance goals for such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards: (i) total stockholder return; (ii) such total stockholder return as compared to total return (on a comparable basis) of
a publicly available index such as, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index; (iii) net income; (iv) pretax earnings; (v) earnings before interest expense and taxes; (vi) earnings before interest
expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and/or other items designated by the Committee; (vii) pretax operating earnings after interest expense and before bonuses, service fees, and extraordinary or special items; (viii) operating
margin; (ix) earnings per share; (x) return on equity; (xi) return on capital; (xii) return on investment; (xiii) operating earnings; (xiv) working capital; (xv) revenue; (xvi) financial ratios as provided in
the Company’s credit agreements; (xvii) minimum cash and cash equivalents, whether restricted or unrestricted; (xviii) cash flow, including operating cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on equity and cash flow return on
investment; (xix) working capital targets; (xx) completion of acquisitions of businesses or companies; (xxi) completion of divestitures and asset sales; (xxii) cost savings in connection with acquisitions of businesses or
companies; and (xxiii) any combination of the foregoing business criteria.  
 Performance goals shall be
established not later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the beginning of any performance period applicable to such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards and (ii) the day on which 25% of any performance period applicable to such awards
has expired, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under Code section 162(m). The Committee may establish a Performance Award or an Annual Incentive Award pool, which shall be an
unfunded pool, for purposes of measuring Company performance in connection with Performance or Annual Incentive Awards. Settlement of such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall be in cash, Stock, other Awards or other property, in the
discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards. The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such
Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of Service by the Grantee prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of Performance Awards. 
  

 - 21 - 









	 	15.3.	Written Determinations. 

 All determinations by the Committee as to the establishment of performance goals, the amount of any Performance Award pool or potential individual Performance Awards and as to the achievement of performance goals relating to Performance
Awards, and the amount of any Annual Incentive Award pool or potential individual Annual Incentive Awards and the amount of final Annual Incentive Awards, shall be made in writing in the case of any Award intended to qualify under Code section
162(m). To the extent required to comply with Code section 162(m), the Committee may delegate any responsibility relating to such Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards. 
  

	 	15.4.	Status of Section 15.2 Awards Under Code Section 162(m). 

 It is the intent of the Company that Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards under Section 15.2 hereof which are granted to persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be
Covered Employees within the meaning of Code section 162(m) and regulations thereunder shall, if so designated by the Committee, constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code section 162(m) and
regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms of Section 15.2, including the definitions of Covered Employee and other terms used therein, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Code section 162(m) and regulations thereunder.
The foregoing notwithstanding, because the Committee cannot determine with certainty whether a given Grantee will be a Covered Employee with respect to a fiscal year that has not yet been completed, the term Covered Employee as used herein shall
mean only a Person designated by the Committee, at the time of grant of a Performance Award or an Annual Incentive Award, as likely to be a Covered Employee with respect to that fiscal year. If any provision of the Plan or any agreement relating to
such Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Code section 162(m) or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to
such requirements or regulations. 
  

	16.	PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS 

 If
the Grantee is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Code section 280G(c)), any Grant and any other right to receive any payment or benefit under the Plan shall not vest or become exercisable (i) to the extent that the right to
vest or any other right to any payment or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments or benefits to or for the Grantee, would cause any payment or benefit to the Grantee under the Plan to be considered a “parachute payment”
within the meaning of Code section 280G(b)(2) as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”) and (ii) if, as a result of receiving a Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Grantee from the Company under any
Award Agreements, the Plan and all other rights, payments or benefits to or for the

  

 - 22 - 








 
Grantee would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing the payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. In the event that, but
for the provisions of this Section 16, the Grantee would be considered to have received a Parachute Payment under any Award Agreements that would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax amount received by the Grantee as described in
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then the Grantee shall have the right, in the Grantee’s sole discretion, to designate any rights, payments or benefits under any Award Agreements, the Plan, any other agreements and any benefit
arrangements to be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the payment or benefit to the Grantee under any Award Agreements be deemed to be a Parachute Payment; provided, however, that in order to comply with Code section 409A, the reduction or
elimination will be performed in the order in which each dollar of value subject to an Award reduces the Parachute Payment to the greatest extent practicable. 
  

	17.	TERMINATION FOR CAUSE 

 If
a Grantee’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause (as defined in this Section 17), all vested and unvested Options and SARs held by the Grantee shall terminate immediately. In addition, upon a
termination for Cause, the Grantee shall forfeit to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate gain the Grantee recognized pursuant to the vesting or exercise of Grants during the twelve (12) month period preceding the Grantee’s
termination of employment (the “Look-back Period”). For this purpose, the aggregate gain recognized by the Grantee shall be equal to the sum of the following: (i) the aggregate spread value of all Options and SARs exercised by the
Grantee (including Options and SARs exercised by a family member or family trust) during the Look-back Period, in which the spread value is the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the Option or SAR exercise and the
Option Price or SAR exercise price; (ii) the aggregate value of all shares of Restricted Stock owned by the Grantee that vested during the Look-back Period, minus the purchase price, if any, of such shares of Restricted Stock; and
(iii) the aggregate value of all shares of Stock or cash delivered to the Grantee pursuant to Grants of Stock Units or Unrestricted Stock during the Look-back Period. “Cause” means, as determined by the Board and unless otherwise
provided in an applicable employment agreement between the Grantee and the Company or an Affiliate (whether or not such employment agreement is effective before the Effective Date), (a) the Grantee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct
in connection with the performance of the Grantee’s duties, (b) the Grantee’s conviction of a criminal offense (other than minor traffic offenses) or (c) the Grantee’s material breach of any term of any employment,
consulting or other services, confidentiality, intellectual property or non-competition agreement between the Grantee and the Company or an Affiliate. Any amount required to be paid by the Grantee to the Company pursuant to this
Section 17 shall be reduced by any amount repaid by the Grantee to the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

	18.	REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 

  

	 	18.1.	General. 

 The Company
shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Grant if the sale or issuance of such shares of Stock would constitute a violation by the Grantee, any other Person exercising a right emanating from such Grant, or the Company of
any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including, without limitation, any federal or state securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Board shall determine, in its sole discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification of any shares of Stock subject to a Grant on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC or any other securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
issuance or purchase of shares of Stock hereunder, no shares of Stock may be issued or sold to the Grantee or any other Person exercising a right emanating from such Grant unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall
have been effectuated or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the Grant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the exercise of
any Option or any SAR that may be settled in shares of Stock or the delivery of any Restricted Stock or shares of Stock underlying Stock Units, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock
covered by such Grant, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue such shares of Stock unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other Person exercising a right emanating from such Grant may acquire
such shares of Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any such determination by the Board shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities
covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or an SAR or the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan to comply with any law or
regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option (or SAR that may be settled in shares of Stock) shall not be exercisable until the shares of Stock covered by such Option (or SAR)
are registered or are exempt from registration, the exercise of such Option (or SAR) under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such
an exemption. 
  

	 	18.2.	Rule 16b-3. 

 During any
time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that Grants pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options and SARs granted hereunder shall qualify for the
exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Board does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, such provision or action shall be deemed inoperative to the extent
permitted

  

 - 24 - 








 
by law but only if deemed advisable by the Board, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its discretion to
modify the Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption or its replacement. Those provisions of the Plan that make express reference to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act
shall apply only to Reporting Persons of the Company. 
  

	19.	AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 

 The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Grants have not been awarded. Except as permitted under Section 20 hereof, no amendment, suspension or
termination of the Plan shall alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Grant previously awarded under the Plan. However, with the consent of the Grantee, the Board may amend any outstanding Award Agreement in a manner not inconsistent
with the Plan. Amendments to the Plan not requiring stockholder approval shall become effective when the Board adopts such amendments. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, amendments requiring stockholder approval shall become effective when
the Board adopts such amendments, but no Incentive Stock Option issued after the date of any such amendment may be exercised (unless the Option could have been exercised without regard to the amendment) unless and until such amendment shall have
been approved by the Company’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within one year after the Board’s adoption of such amendment, any Incentive Stock Option granted on or after the date of such amendment shall be
canceled to the extent that such amendment to the Plan was required to enable the Company to grant such Incentive Stock Option. No awards shall be made after termination of the Plan. 
  

	20.	EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 

  

	 	20.1.	Capitalization Change. 

 Subject to Section 20.2 hereof, if there is a Capitalization Change, (i) a proportionate adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under Section 4 hereof and in the Grant
limits under Section 4 hereof and (ii) such adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of and price of shares subject to outstanding Grants as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Board, in its sole
discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of existing rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall adjust the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Grants and shall use its reasonable efforts otherwise
to adjust such outstanding Grants so that the proportionate interest of the holder of such Grants immediately after a Capitalization Change shall be substantially the same as immediately before such Capitalization Change. Any adjustment in
outstanding Grants shall not change the aggregate exercise price, if any, payable with respect to shares subject to the

  

 - 25 - 








 
unexercised portion of such Grants, but shall include a proportionate adjustment in the exercise price per share of such Grants. In making adjustments under this Section 20.1, the
Company shall follow the rules of Code section 424(a) and the regulations under that section (whether or not any Option is an Incentive Stock Option). 
  

	 	20.2.	Reorganizations in Which the Company is the Surviving Corporation not Involving a Change of Ownership. 

 If the Company is the surviving corporation in any reorganization, merger or consolidation that is not a Corporate Transaction, any Option or
SAR granted under the Plan shall apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Option or SAR would have been entitled to receive immediately following the transaction if the Grantee had exercised such Option
or SAR in full immediately before the transaction, with an adjustment of the Option Price of such Option or exercise price per share of such SAR so that the aggregate exercise price of such Option or SAR shall not change. In making adjustments under
this Section 20, the Company shall follow the rules of Code section 424(a) and the regulations under that section (whether or not the Option is an Incentive Stock Option) and Code section 409A and the regulations thereunder. In the event
of a transaction described in this Section 20.2, Stock Units shall be adjusted so as to apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Units would have been entitled to receive immediately
following such transaction. 
  

	 	20.3.	Reorganization in Which the Company is not the Surviving Corporation or Involving a Change of Ownership; Sale of Assets or Stock. 


Upon the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction, the Plan and all outstanding Options and SARs shall terminate, unless the Company or its
Successor agrees in writing in connection with the Corporate Transaction to continue the Plan and/or to assume the Options and SARs or to substitute new Options and SARs covering the capital stock of a Successor and to make appropriate equitable
adjustments in the number and kind of shares covered by the Options and SARs and the exercise prices of the Options and SARs, in which event the Plan, Options and SARs shall continue on such basis. If the Options, SARs and the Plan are terminated
under this Section 20: (i) the vesting of all outstanding Options and SARs shall be accelerated as if each individual holding an outstanding Option or SAR had been employed or provided services for an additional twelve
(12) months at the time of such termination; and (ii) each individual holding an outstanding Option or SAR shall be entitled to exercise such Option or SAR, to the extent such Option or SAR is vested, for at least 30 days before the Option
or SAR terminates, except that the Board may impose reasonable limitations on a Grantee’s right to exercise an unvested Option or SAR to the extent necessary to avoid the penalty tax that Code section 4999 imposes on excess parachute payments.
The Board may provide for additional accelerated vesting in the event of a termination under this Section 20 in an Award Agreement or an applicable employment agreement between the Grantee and the

  

 - 26 - 








 
Company or an Affiliate (whether or not such employment agreement is effective before the Effective Date). The Board shall send written notice of a Corporate Transaction that will result in such
a termination to all individuals who hold Options or SARs not later than the time when the Company mails notice of the proposed transaction to its stockholders. Unvested shares of Restricted Stock and unvested Stock Units shall not become vested or
forfeited in the case of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock or Stock Units or in an applicable employment agreement between the Grantee and the Company or an
Affiliate (whether or not such employment agreement is effective before the Effective Date). The treatment of Performance and Annual Incentive Awards in the case of a Corporate Transaction shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

  

	 	20.4.	Adjustments. 

 The Board
shall make the adjustments to the Stock or securities under this Section 20, and the Board’s reasonable determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Neither the Company nor any Successor shall be required to
issue any fractional shares of Stock or units of other securities, and any fractions resulting from any adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding upward to the nearest whole share or unit (except that such rounding shall be downward in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option). 
  

	 	20.5.	No Limitations on Company. 

 The awarding of Grants pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of the Company’s
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of the Company’s business or assets, without the consent of any Grantee. 
  

	21.	DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS 

 No
provision in the Plan or in any Grant or Award Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate thereof, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other
right or authority of the Company, a Subsidiary or a Service Provider either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any Grantee at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any Grantee and the
Company or any Affiliate thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement or employment agreement, no Grant awarded under the Plan shall be affected by
any change of duties or position of the Grantee, so long as such Grantee continues to be a director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be
interpreted as a contractual obligation to

  

 - 27 - 








 
pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a
third-party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any participant or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan. No Grantee shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to
an Option or SAR except to the extent such shares of Stock shall have been issued upon the exercise of such Option or SAR. 
  

	22.	NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN 

 Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive
compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of Stock options otherwise than under the Plan. 
  

	23.	WITHHOLDING TAXES 

 The
Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other
lapse of restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock or Stock Units or upon the exercise of an Option or SAR or the grant of Unrestricted Stock. At the time of such vesting, lapse or exercise, the Grantee shall pay to the Company or such Subsidiary,
as the case may be, any amount that the Company or such Subsidiary may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or such Subsidiary, which may be withheld by the Company
or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company or such Subsidiary to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee
or (ii) by delivering to the Company or such Subsidiary shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. The Fair Market
Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 23 may
satisfy such Grantee’s withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements. The Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, may in its sole
discretion withhold shares of Stock with a fair market value on the date of such withholding equal to all or any portion of the amount of federal, state and local taxes incurred by the Grantee in connection with the exercise, vesting, lapse of
restrictions or payment of shares in connection with an award, determined at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Grantee’s residence on the date such withholding obligations are incurred, net of the maximum
reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes (which amount includes the statutorily required withholding taxes).

	24.	CAPTIONS 

 The use of
captions in the Plan or any Award Agreement is for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or such Award Agreement. 
  


	25.	OTHER PROVISIONS 

 Each
Grant awarded under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. 
  

	26.	NUMBER AND GENDER 

 With
respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form and, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, as the context requires. 
  

	27.	SEVERABILITY 

 If any
provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be finally determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their
terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction. 
  

	28.	GOVERNING LAW 

 The
validity and construction of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Grants awarded hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the choice of law provisions thereof), other than any conflicts or
choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Grants hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 
  

	29.	CODE SECTION 409A 

 The
Board intends to comply with Code section 409A, or an exemption to Code section 409A, with regard to awards hereunder that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Code section 409A. To the extent that the Board determines
that a Grantee would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Code section 409A as a result of any provision of any award granted under this Plan, such provision shall be deemed
amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Board.
