16b-3”). The Plan is intended to comply, and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply, with Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an
Award, issuance and/or payment is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it shall be awarded and/or issued or paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including any applicable regulations or guidance issued by the
Secretary of the United States Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. 
 (b) Pursuant to the

Control, the Administrator shall also have discretion in connection with such action to provide that all Options and/or Share Appreciation Rights outstanding immediately prior to such Change in Control shall expire on the effective date of such
Change in Control; 
 (5) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, which shall
govern all written instruments evidencing Options, Share Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Shares or Other Share-Based Awards or any combination of the foregoing granted hereunder; 

  
 - 7 -










 (6) to determine the Fair Market Value; 

(7) to determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which may be granted to a Participant without constituting termination of
the Participant’s employment or service for purposes of Awards granted under the Plan; 
 (8) to adopt, alter and repeal
such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable; and 
 (9)
to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any Award Agreement relating thereto), and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan and to exercise all powers and authorities
either specifically granted under the Plan or necessary and advisable in the administration of the Plan. 
 (c) All decisions
made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including, but not limited to, the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and the Participants. No member of the Board or the
Committee, nor any officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, omission, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good
faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company and of any Subsidiary and Affiliate thereof acting on their behalf shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be
fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, omission, determination or interpretation. 
 (d)
Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, Awards made pursuant to Sections 7, 8, 9 or 10 of the Plan that vest solely upon the continued employment or service of the Participant may not become fully vested prior to the second anniversary of
the date upon which such Award is granted. 
 Section 4. Shares Reserved for Issuance Under the Plan. 

(a) Subject to Section 5 hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock that are reserved and available for issuance pursuant to Awards
granted under the Plan is 1,250,000 Shares. The maximum number of Shares that may be granted in the aggregate under the Plan pursuant to Awards (other than Options or Share Appreciation Rights) shall not exceed 500,000 (subject to adjustment as
provided by Section 5). From and after such time as the Plan is subject to 162(m) of the Code, the aggregate Awards granted during any single fiscal year to any individual who is likely to be a “covered employee” shall not exceed
200,000 Shares. 
 (b) Shares issued under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
or shares of Common Stock that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions, or otherwise. If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if an Award
otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of Shares to the Participant, the Shares 

  
 - 8 -










 
with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Shares surrendered or withheld as payment of either the Exercise Price of an Award (including, without limitation, Shares otherwise underlying an Award of a stock-settled Share Appreciation Right that are retained by the Company to
account for the grant price of such Share Appreciation Right) and/or withholding taxes in respect of an Award shall no longer be available for grant under the Plan, and notwithstanding that a Share Appreciation Right is settled by the delivery of a
net number of shares of Common Stock, the full number of Shares underlying such Share Appreciation Right shall not be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Award, such related
Award shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Award is exercised and, notwithstanding the foregoing, such number of Shares shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan. In addition, (i) to the extent
an Award is paid or settled in cash, the number of Shares with respect to which such payment or settlement is made shall again be available for grants of Awards pursuant to the Plan and (ii) Shares underlying Awards that can only be settled in
cash shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan. 
 Section 5. Equitable
Adjustments. 
 In the event of any Change in Capitalization, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be
made, in each case, as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in (i) the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and the maximum number of shares that may be subject to Awards granted to any
Participant in any calendar or fiscal year, (ii) the kind, number and Exercise Price of shares subject to outstanding Options and Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan, and (iii) the kind, number and purchase price of shares
subject to outstanding Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Shares or Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Such
other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator may
provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Award granted hereunder in exchange for payment in cash or other property having an aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Award, reduced by the aggregate
Exercise Price thereof, if any (including, but not limited to, canceling any Award with an Exercise Price that is greater than such Fair Market Value without payment to the person holding such Award). The Administrator’s determinations pursuant
to this Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 Section 6. Eligibility. 

The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from those individuals
that qualify as Eligible Recipients.

 Section 7. Options. 
 (a) General. Each Participant who is granted an Option shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole
discretion, which Award Agreement shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prospective recipient of an
Option shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has executed an Award Agreement and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as
the Administrator may specify) after the award date. The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options
granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and
set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Each Option granted hereunder is intended to be a non-qualified Option and is not intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

 (b) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator
in its sole discretion at the time of grant, but in no event shall the Exercise Price of an Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant. Other than with respect to
an adjustment described in Section 5 hereof, in no event shall the Exercise Price be reduced following the grant of an Option, nor shall an Option be cancelled in exchange for a replacement Option with a lower Exercise Price without stockholder
approval. 
 (c) Option Term. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Option shall be
exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option’s term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

(d) Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including,
without limitation, the attainment of preestablished corporate performance goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in
installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 

  
 - 10 -










 (e) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving
written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of whole Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Administrator.
As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by
the Administrator (including, but not limited to, the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Participant which, (x) in the case of unrestricted Shares acquired
upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Participant for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which
such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. 

(f) Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends or distributions or any other rights of a stockholder
with respect to the Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof and has paid in full for such Shares. 
 (g) Termination of Employment or Service. 
 (1) Unless the applicable
Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company and all Affiliates thereof shall terminate for any reason other than Cause, Disability or death, (A) Options granted to such
Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is thirty (30) days after such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such
Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. The thirty (30) day period described in this Section 7(g)(1) shall be
extended to one (1) year after the date of such termination in the event of the Participant’s death during such thirty (30) day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

 (2) Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant
with the Company and all Affiliates thereof shall terminate on account of the Disability or death of the Participant, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall
remain exercisable until the date that is one (1) year after such termination, on which date they shall expire and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall
expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term. 
 (3) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire at the commencement of business on the date of
such termination. 
 (h) Other Change in Employment or Service Status. An Option shall be affected, both with regard to
vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, demotion, partial disability or other changes in the employment or service status of a Participant, in the discretion of the Administrator.

 Section 8. Share Appreciation Rights. 

(a) General. Share Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in conjunction with
all or part of any Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”). Related Rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Option. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the
time or times at which, grants of Share Appreciation Rights shall be made, the number of Shares to be awarded, the price per Share, and all other conditions of Share Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted
for more Shares than are subject to the Option to which it relates and any Share Appreciation Right must be granted with an Exercise Price not less than the Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock on the date of grant. Other than with respect to
an adjustment described in Section 5, in no event shall the Exercise Price with respect to a Share Appreciation Right be reduced following the grant of a Share Appreciation Right, nor shall a Share Appreciation Right be cancelled in exchange
for a replacement Share Appreciation Right with a lower Exercise Price without stockholder approval. The provisions of Share Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in
the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (b) Awards; Rights as Stockholder. The prospective recipient of a Share Appreciation
Right shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has executed an Award Agreement and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as
the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Participants who are granted Share Appreciation Rights shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company with respect to the Shares subject to the Share Appreciation Rights until the Participant
has given written notice of the exercise thereof and paid in full for such Shares (if consideration is due). 
 (c)
Exercisability. 
 (1) Share Appreciation Rights that are Free Standing Rights shall be exercisable at such time or
times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. 

(2) Share Appreciation Rights that are Related Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options
to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof and this Section 8. 

(d) Payment Upon Exercise. 
 (1) Upon the exercise of a Free Standing Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the
date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the Free Standing Right multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Free Standing Right is being exercised, with the Administrator having the right to determine the form of
payment.

 (2) A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable
portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the
Exercise Price specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Related Right is being exercised, with the Administrator having the right to determine the form of payment. Options which have been so
surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised. 

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Share Appreciation Right in cash (or in
any combination of Shares and cash). 
 (e) Termination of Employment or Service. 

(1) In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been
granted one or more Free Standing Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. 

(2) In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been
granted one or more Related Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Options. 
 (f) Term. 
 (1) The term of each Free Standing Right shall be fixed by the
Administrator, but no Free Standing Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted. 
 (2) The term of each Related Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

 Section 9. Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares and Performance Shares. 

(a) General. Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards
granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares shall be made; the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any,
to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares; the period of time prior to which such shares become vested and free of restrictions on Transfer (the “Restricted
Period”), if any, applicable to Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares; the performance objectives (if any) 

  
 - 13 -










 
applicable to Deferred Shares or Performance Shares; and all other conditions of the Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares and Performance Shares. If the restrictions, performance objectives and/or
conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. The
provisions of the Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares need not be the same with respect to each Participant. All grants of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares shall vest subject to any additional terms or
performance requirements as permitted and determined under the Plan. 
 (b) Awards and Certificates. The prospective
recipient of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has executed an Award Agreement and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the
Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Except as otherwise provided below in Section 9(c), (i) each Participant who is granted an award of Restricted
Shares or Performance Shares may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued a share certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares or Performance Shares; and (ii) any such certificate so issued shall be registered in the name of the
Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any such Award. 
 The Company may require that the share certificates, if any, evidencing Restricted Shares or Performance Shares granted hereunder be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall
have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award. 

With respect to Deferred Shares, at the expiration of the Restricted Period, share certificates in respect of such Deferred Shares may,
in the Company’s sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant, or his legal representative, in a number equal to the number of Shares covered by the Award of Deferred Shares. 

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares (at the expiration of the Restricted Period)
or Performance Shares (whether before or after any vesting conditions have been satisfied) may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued in uncertificated form pursuant to the customary arrangements for issuing shares in such form.

 Further, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, with respect to Deferred Shares, at the expiration of the
Restricted Period, Shares shall promptly be issued (either in certificated or uncertificated form) to the Participant, unless otherwise deferred in accordance with procedures established by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the
Code, and such issuance shall in any event be made within such period as is required to avoid the imposition of a tax under Section 409A of the Code.

 (c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares and
Performance Shares granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or, subject to
Section 409A of the Code, thereafter: 
 (1) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of
restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of
certain performance related goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as a director, independent contractor or consultant to the Company or any Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability;
provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any Award which is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in
Control, the outstanding Awards shall be subject to Section 12 hereof. 
 (2) Except as provided in Section 16 hereof
or in the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to Restricted Shares or Performance Shares during the Restricted Period. Except as provided in Section 16 hereof
or in the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall generally not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Award of Deferred Shares during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that, subject to
Section 409A of the Code, an amount equal to dividends declared during the Restricted Period with respect to the number of Shares covered by an Award of Deferred Shares shall, unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, be paid to the
Participant at the same time as dividends are paid to the Company’s stockholders generally, provided that the Participant is then providing services to the Company. Certificates for Shares of unrestricted shares of Common Stock may, in the
Company’s sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant only after the Restricted Period has expired without forfeiture in respect of such Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares, except as the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, shall otherwise determine. 
 (3) The rights of Participants granted Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or
Performance Shares upon termination of employment or service as a director, independent contractor, or consultant to the Company or to any Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award
Agreement. 
 Section 10. Other Share-Based Awards. 
 The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Share-Based Awards, as deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and as evidenced by
an Award Agreement. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, consistent with the terms of the Plan, at the date of grant or thereafter, including, without limitation, any Performance Goals and performance periods.
Shares of Common Stock or other securities or property delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 10 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in
such forms, including, without limitation, Shares, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to any required corporate action.

 Section 11. Performance-Based Awards. 

To the extent that the Plan is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, no payment with respect to an Award made under Section 9
or 10 hereof which is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code) shall be made to a Participant that is likely to be a “covered employee” (within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code) prior to the certification by the Committee that the applicable Performance Goals have been attained. 

Section 12. Accelerated Vesting In Connection With a Change in Control. 

Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and evidenced in an Award Agreement, in the event that (a) a Change in Control
occurs, and (b) the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company, its successor or Affiliate thereof without Cause on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twenty-four (24) months
following the Change in Control, then: 
 (1) any unvested or unexercisable portion of any Award carrying a right to exercise
shall become fully vested and exercisable; and 
 (2) the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture
conditions applicable to an Award granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested and any performance conditions imposed with respect to such Awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved at the target level.

 Section 13. Amendment and Termination. 
 The Board may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Award or revise or amend the Plan or any Award in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that stockholder approval shall
be required for any such amendment if and to the extent such approval is required in order to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. Nothing herein shall restrict the Administrator’s ability to exercise its
discretionary authority pursuant to Sections 3 and/or 5 hereof, which discretion may be exercised without amendment of the Plan. No action hereunder may, without the consent of a Participant, impair the Participant’s rights under any
outstanding Award. 
 Section 14. Unfunded Status of Plan. 
 The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give
any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. 
 Section 15. Withholding Taxes.

 To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any
payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are 

  
 - 16 -










 
insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for
payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. The Company and a Participant or such other person may also make similar arrangements with respect to the payment of any taxes with respect to which withholding is not required.

 Section 16. Transfer of Awards. 
 Until such time as the Awards are fully vested and/or exercisable in accordance with the Plan or an Award Agreement, no purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, charge, pledge,
encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any Award or any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”) by any holder
thereof in violation of the provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement will be valid, except with the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator. Any purported
Transfer of an Award or any economic benefit or interest therein in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and shall not create any obligation or liability of the Company, and any person purportedly
acquiring any Award or any economic benefit or interest therein transferred in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall not be entitled to be recognized as a holder of such Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in
accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during any period during which the Participant is under a legal disability, by the
Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 
 Section 17. Continued Employment. 

The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or any
Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate thereof to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time. 

Section 18. Effective Date. 
 The Plan was adopted by the Board on July 9, 2012 and approved by the stockholders of the Company on July 9, 2012. The Plan shall become effective without further action as of the later of (a) the
effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on             , 2012, as amended, and (b) the
shares of Common Stock being listed or approved for listing upon notice of issuance on the NASDAQ (the date of such effectiveness, the “Effective Date”). 
 Section 19. Term of Plan. 
 No Award shall be granted pursuant to the
Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

 Section 20. Section 409A of the Code. 

Payments and benefits under the Plan are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and,
accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in
Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax
penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following a Participant’s termination of
employment or service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes
of the Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to a Participant pursuant to the Plan, which constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes
of Section 409A of the Code and not one of a series of payments. 
 Section 21. Governing Law. 

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of law of such state.
