the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink OTC Markets, or other comparable quotation service (or, if no shares were traded or quoted on such date, as of the next preceding date on which there was such a trade or quote); or (c) if the Common Stock is not so
listed or reported, such price as the Committee determines in good faith in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, and consistent with the definition of “fair market value” under Section 409A of the Code. If determined by the

of this Plan will be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and on all persons, and no member of the Committee will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Incentive Award


  
 7 







 
granted under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect
to Incentive Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors and (b) the Board or Committee may delegate its authority hereunder to the extent permitted by Section 3.3 hereof. 

3.2 Authority of the Committee. In accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee will have full and
exclusive discretionary power and authority to take such actions as it deems necessary and advisable with respect to the administration of this Plan, including the following: 

(a) To designate the Eligible Recipients to be selected as Participants; 

(b) To determine the nature and extent of the Incentive Awards to be made to each Participant, including the amount of cash or
number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to each Incentive Award, any exercise price, the manner in which Incentive Awards will vest or become exercisable and whether Incentive Awards will be granted in tandem with other Incentive Awards, and
the form of Incentive Award Agreement, if any, evidencing such Incentive Award; 
 (c) To determine the time or times when
Incentive Awards will be granted; 
 (d) To determine the duration of each Incentive Award; 

(e) To determine the restrictions and other conditions to which the payment or vesting of Incentive Awards may be subject; 

(f) To construe and interpret this Plan and Incentive Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and
regulations for its administration and in so doing, to correct any defect, omission, or inconsistency in this Plan or in an Incentive Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make this Plan fully
effective; 
 (g) To determine Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 2.22 of this Plan; 

(h) To amend this Plan or any Incentive Award Agreement, as provided in this Plan; 

(i) To adopt subplans or special provisions applicable to Incentive Awards regulated by the laws of a jurisdiction other than,
and outside of, the United States, which subplans or special provisions may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan; 

(j) To authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any Incentive Award Agreement or any other instrument required
to effect the grant of an Incentive Award previously granted by the Committee; 
 (k) To determine whether Incentive Awards
will be settled in shares of Common Stock, cash or in any combination thereof; 

  
 8 







 (l) Subject to Section 14, to determine whether Incentive Awards will be adjusted
for “dividend equivalents,” meaning a credit, made at the discretion of the Committee, to the account of a Participant in an amount equal to the cash dividends paid on one share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock represented by
an Incentive Award held by such Participant; 
 (m) Accelerate wholly or partially the vesting or lapse of restrictions of
any Incentive Award or portion thereof at any time after the grant of an Incentive Award, subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee and Section 4.5; and 

(n) To impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any
resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common Stock, including restrictions under an insider trading policy, restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other
transfers and other restrictions designed to increase equity ownership by Participants or otherwise align the interests of Participants with the Company’s stockholders. 

3.3 Delegation. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or
more officers of the Company or any Subsidiary or to one or more agents or advisors such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any individuals to whom it has delegated duties or powers as aforesaid may employ
one or more individuals to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such individuals may have under this Plan. The Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more directors of the Company or one or more officers of
the Company to do one or both of the following on the same basis as can the Committee: (a) designate Eligible Recipients to be recipients of Incentive Awards pursuant to this Plan; and (b) determine the size of any such Incentive Awards;
provided, however, that (x) the Committee will not delegate such responsibilities to any such director(s) or officer(s) for any Incentive Awards granted to an Eligible Recipient: (i) who is considered a Covered Employee or who is
subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 16 under the Exchange Act, or (ii) to whom authority to grant or amend Incentive Awards has been delegated hereunder; provided, further, that any delegation of administrative
authority shall only be permitted to the extent it is permissible under Section 162(m) of the Code and Applicable Law; (y) the resolution providing such authorization will set forth the type of Incentive Awards and total number of each type of
Incentive Awards such director(s) or officer(s) may grant; and (z) such director(s) or officer(s) will report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the Incentive Awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated. At
all times, the delagatee appointed under this Section 3.3 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee. 
 3.4 No
Re-pricing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan other than Section 4.5, the Committee may not, without prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, seek to effect any re-pricing of any previously granted,
“underwater” Option or Stock Appreciation Right by: (i) amending or modifying the terms of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right to lower the exercise price; (ii) canceling the underwater Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for
(A) cash; (B) replacement Options or Stock Appreciation Rights having a lower 

  
 9 







 
exercise price; or (C) other Incentive Awards; or (iii) repurchasing the underwater Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and granting new Incentive Awards under this Plan. For purposes of
this Section 3.4, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock is less than the exercise price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right. 

3.5 Participants Based Outside of the United States. In addition to the authority of the Committee under Section 3.2(i) and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of this Plan or Incentive Awards with respect to Participants resident outside of the United States or employed by a non-U.S. Subsidiary in
order to comply with local legal requirements, to otherwise protect the Company’s or Subsidiary’s interests or to meet objectives of this Plan, and may, where appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans (including the adoption of any
required rules and regulations) for the purposes of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws. The Committee will have no authority, however, to take action pursuant to this Section 3.5: (i) to reserve shares of Common
Stock or grant Incentive Awards in excess of the limitations provided in Section 4.1; (ii) to effect any re-pricing in violation of Section 3.4; (iii) to grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights having an exercise price less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date in violation of Section 6.3 or Section 7.3; or (iv) for which stockholder approval would then be required pursuant to Section 422 of the Code or the rules of any
stock exchange on which shares of Common Stock may be listed for trading. 
 4. Shares Available for Issuance. 

4.1 Maximum Number of Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.5 of this Plan, the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock that will be available for issuance under this Plan will be the sum of: 
 (a) 3,911,456 shares; and 

(b) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Incentive Awards outstanding under the Prior Plans as of the Effective Date
but only to the extent that such outstanding Incentive Awards are forfeited, expire or otherwise terminate without the issuance of such shares of Common Stock. 

4.2 Restrictions on Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary and subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 4.5 of this Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that will be available for issuance pursuant to Incentive Stock Options under this Plan will be 3,911,456 shares. 

4.3 Accounting for Incentive Awards. Shares of Common Stock that are issued under this Plan or that are subject to outstanding
Incentive Awards will be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance under this Plan only to the extent they are used; provided, however, that the full number of shares of Common
Stock subject to a Stock Appreciation Right granted that are settled by the issuance of shares of Common Stock will be counted against the shares authorized for issuance under this Plan, 

  
 10 







 
regardless of the number of shares actually issued upon settlement of such Stock Appreciation Right. Furthermore, any shares of Common Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations
on Incentive Awards issued under this Plan, any shares of Common Stock withheld to pay the exercise price of Incentive Awards under this Plan and any shares of Common Stock not issued or delivered as a result of the “net exercise” of an
outstanding Option pursuant to Section 6.5 or settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.7 will not be counted against the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under this Plan, will be
available again for grant under this Plan and correspondingly increase the total number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan under Section 4.1. Any shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market
using the proceeds from the exercise of an Incentive Award will not increase the number of shares available for future grant of Incentive Awards. Any shares of Common Stock related to Incentive Awards granted under this Plan or under any Prior
Plans that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of the shares of Common Stock, or are settled in cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock, or are exchanged with the Committee’s permission, prior to
the issuance of shares of Common Stock, for Incentive Awards not involving shares of Common Stock, will be available again for grant under this Plan and correspondingly increase the total number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
this Plan under Section 4.1. 
 4.4 Non-Employee Director Annual Awards Limit. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
the Plan, the Committee or the Board may establish compensation for Non-Employee Directors from time to time, subject to the limitations in the Plan. The Committee or the Board will from time to time determine the terms, conditions and amounts
of all such Non-Employee Director compensation in its discretion and pursuant to the exercise of its business judgment, taking into account such factors, circumstances and considerations as it shall deem relevant from time to time, provided that the
sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of Incentive Awards
granted to a non-employee Director as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $600,000 increased to $1,000,000 in the fiscal year of a Non-Employee Director’s initial service as
a Non-Employee Director. The Committee or the Board may make exceptions to this limit for individual Non-Employee Directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Committee or the Board may determine in its discretion, provided that the
Non-Employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other contemporaneous compensation decisions involving Non-Employee Directors. 

4.5 Adjustments to Shares and Incentive Awards.

(a) In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend,
stock split, combination of shares, rights offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin off) or any other similar change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee (or, if the Company is not the surviving
corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation) will make appropriate adjustment (which determination will be conclusive) as to: (i) the number and kind of securities or other property (including


  
 11 







 
cash) available for issuance or payment under this Plan, including the sub-limits set forth in Section 4.2 and the Annual Award Limits set forth in Section 4.4, and (ii) in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants, the number and kind of securities or other property (including cash) subject to outstanding Incentive Awards and the exercise price of outstanding Incentive Awards. The determination of the
Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, will be final, conclusive and binding on Participants under this Plan.

(b) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, without affecting the number of shares of Common Stock reserved or
available hereunder, the limits in Section 4.2 and the Annual Award Limits in Section 4.4, the Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or
stock or reorganization upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, subject to compliance with the rules under Sections 422 and 424 of the Code, as and where applicable. 

4.6 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if Participant is subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Incentive Award, and the Incentive Award Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment
to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule, and such additional limitations shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into such Incentive Award to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 5. Participation. 
 Participants in
this Plan will be those Eligible Recipients who, in the judgment of the Committee, have contributed, are contributing or are expected to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Eligible Recipients may
be granted from time to time one or more Incentive Awards, singly or in combination or in tandem with other Incentive Awards, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Incentive Awards will be deemed to be granted as of the
date specified in the grant resolution of the Committee, which date will be the Grant Date of any related Incentive Award Agreement with the Participant. 

6. Options. 
 6.1 Grant. An
Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Options under this Plan, and such Options will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. The Committee may designate whether an Option is to be considered an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option. To the extent that any Incentive Stock Option (or portion thereof) granted under this Plan ceases for
any reason to qualify as an “incentive stock option” for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Incentive Stock Option (or portion thereof) will continue to be outstanding for purposes of this Plan but will thereafter be deemed to be a
Non-Statutory Stock Option. Options may be granted to an Eligible Recipient for services provided to a Subsidiary only if, with respect to such Eligible Recipient, the underlying shares of Common Stock constitute “service recipient stock”
within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii). 

  
 12 







 6.2 Incentive Award Agreement. Each Option grant will be evidenced by an Incentive
Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price of the Option, the maximum duration of the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which an Option will become vested and exercisable, and
such other provisions as the Committee will determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan. The Incentive Award Agreement also will specify whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory
Stock Option. 
 6.3 Exercise Price. The per share price to be paid by a Participant upon exercise of an Option granted pursuant
to this Section 6 will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of the Option grant; provided, however, that such price will not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one share of
Common Stock on the Grant Date (one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value if, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Participant owns, directly or indirectly, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company). 
 6.4 Exercisability and
Duration. An Option will become exercisable at such times and in such installments and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of grant, including (i) the achievement of one or
more of the Performance Goals; or that (ii) the Participant remain in the continuous employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain period; provided, however, that no Option may be exercisable after ten (10) years
from the Grant Date (five (5) years from the Grant Date in the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Participant who owns, directly or indirectly, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option that is exercisable in accordance with its terms is prevented by the provisions of Section 19, the Option
will remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such provisions, but in any event no later than the expiration date of such Option. 

  
 13 







 6.5 Payment of Exercise Price.

(a) The total purchase price of the shares to be purchased upon exercise of an Option will be paid entirely in cash (including
check, bank draft or money order); provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by the Committee, may allow such payments to be made, in whole or in part, by (i) tender of a
Broker Exercise Notice; (ii) by tender, either by actual delivery or attestation as to ownership, of Previously Acquired Shares; (iii) a “net exercise” of the Option (as further described in paragraph (b), below); (iv) by a combination of
such methods; or (v) any other method approved or accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the
Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Incentive Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment with a loan from the
Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act. 
 (b) In the case of a
“net exercise” of an Option, the Company will not require a payment of the exercise price of the Option from the Participant but will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise by the largest number of whole
shares that has a Fair Market Value on the exercise date that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares exercised under this method. Shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under an Option (and will therefore not
thereafter be exercisable) following the exercise of such Option to the extent of (i) shares used to pay the exercise price of an Option under the “net exercise,” (ii) shares actually delivered to the Participant as a result of such
exercise and (iii) any shares withheld for purposes of tax withholding pursuant to Section 16 of this Plan. 
 (c) For
purposes of such payment, Previously Acquired Shares tendered or covered by an attestation will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the Option. 

6.6 Manner of Exercise. An Option may be exercised by a Participant in whole or in part from time to time, subject to the
conditions contained in this Plan and in the Incentive Award Agreement evidencing such Option, by delivery in person, by facsimile or electronic transmission or through the mail of written notice of exercise to the Company at its principal executive
office in The Woodlands, Texas (or to the Company’s designee as may be established from time to time by the Company and communicated to Participants) and by paying in full the total exercise price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased
in accordance with Section 6.5 of this Plan.
 7. Stock Appreciation Rights. 

7.1 Grant. An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Stock Appreciation Rights under this Plan, and such Stock Appreciation
Rights will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to an Eligible Recipient for services
provided to a Subsidiary only if, with respect to such Eligible Recipient, the underlying shares of Common Stock constitute “service recipient stock” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii). 

  
 14 







 7.2 Incentive Award Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right will be evidenced by an
Incentive Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, and such other provisions as the Committee will determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of this
Plan. 
 7.3 Exercise Price. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right will be determined by the Committee, in its
discretion, at the Grant Date; provided, however, that such price may not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date. 

7.4 Exercisability and Duration. A Stock Appreciation Right will become exercisable at such times and in such installments as may
be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of grant; provided, however, that no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercisable after ten (10) years from its Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise
of a Stock Appreciation Right that is exercisable in accordance with its terms is prevented by the provisions of Section 19, the Stock Appreciation Right will remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no
longer be prevented by such provisions, but in any event no later than the expiration date of such Stock Appreciation Right. 
 7.5 Manner
of Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right will be exercised by giving notice in the same manner as for Options, as set forth in Section 6.6, subject to any other terms and conditions consistent with the other provisions of this Plan as may be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 7.6 Settlement. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a
Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 
 (a) The excess of
the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the per share exercise price; by 
 (b) The
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. 
 7.7 Form of
Payment. Payment, if any, with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right settled in accordance with Section 7.6 will be made in accordance with the terms of the applicable Incentive Award Agreement, in cash, shares of Common Stock or a
combination thereof, as the Committee determines. 
 8. Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units. 

8.1 Grant. An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units under this Plan, and
such awards will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Restricted Stock Units will be similar to Restricted Stock


  
 15 







 
Awards except that no shares of Common Stock are actually awarded to the Participant on the Grant Date of the Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be denominated in shares of
Common Stock but paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine, and as provided in the Incentive Award Agreement. 

8.2 Incentive Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit grant will be evidenced by an Incentive Award
Agreement that will specify the type of Incentive Award, the period(s) of restriction, the number of shares of restricted Common Stock, or the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other provisions as the Committee will determine which
are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.
 8.3 Conditions and Restrictions. The Committee will impose such restrictions
or conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units as it deems appropriate, including (a) the achievement of one or more of the Performance Goals; or that (b)
the Participant remain in the continuous employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain period.
 8.4 Rights as a
Stockholder. Except as provided in Sections 8.1, 8.5, 8.6 and 18.3 of this Plan, upon a Participant becoming the holder of record of shares of Common Stock issued under a Restricted Stock Award pursuant to this Section 8, the Participant
will have all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to such shares (other than the right to sell or transfer such shares) as if such Participant were a holder of record of shares of unrestricted Common Stock. A Participant
will have no voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder.
 8.5 Dividends
and Distributions. Unless the Committee determines otherwise in its sole discretion (either in the Incentive Award Agreement evidencing the Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant or at any time after the grant
of the Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit), any dividends or distributions paid with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to the unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit will be subject to the same
restrictions as the shares to which such dividends or distributions relate. The Committee will determine in its sole discretion whether any interest will be paid on such dividends or distributions. 

8.6 Enforcement of Restrictions. To enforce the restrictions referred to in this Section 8, the Committee may place a legend on the
stock certificates representing Restricted Stock Awards referring to such restrictions and may require the Participant, until the restrictions have lapsed, to keep the stock certificates, together with duly endorsed stock powers, in the custody of
the Company or its transfer agent, or to maintain evidence of stock ownership, together with duly endorsed stock powers, in a certificateless book entry stock account with the Company’s transfer agent. Alternatively, Restricted Stock
Awards may be held in non-certificated form pursuant to such terms and conditions as the Company may establish with its registrar and transfer agent or any third-party administrator designated by the Company to hold Restricted Stock Awards on behalf
of Participants. 

  
 16 







 8.7 Lapse of Restrictions; Settlement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8,
shares of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Award will become freely transferable by the Participant after all conditions and restrictions applicable to such shares have been satisfied or lapse (including satisfaction of any applicable tax
withholding obligations). Upon the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Restricted Stock Unit will be settled, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Incentive Award Agreement, (a) in cash, based upon the Fair Market Value of
the vested underlying shares of Common Stock, (b) in shares of Common Stock or (c) a combination thereof, as provided in the Incentive Award Agreement, except to the extent that a Participant has properly elected to defer income that may be
attributable to a Restricted Stock Unit under a Company deferred compensation plan or arrangement.
 8.8 Section 83(b) Election for
Restricted Stock Award. If a Participant makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant must file, within thirty (30) days following the Grant Date of the Restricted Stock
Award, a copy of such election with the Company and with the Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with the regulations under Section 83 of the Code. The Committee may provide in the Incentive Award Agreement that the Restricted Stock Award
is conditioned upon the Participant’s making or refraining from making an election with respect to the award under Section 83(b) of the Code. 
 9.
Performance Awards. 
 9.1 Grant. An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Performance Awards under this Plan, and
such awards will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, including the achievement of one or more Performance Goals. 

9.2 Incentive Award Agreement. Each Performance Award will be evidenced by an Incentive Award Agreement that will specify the amount of
cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of both to be received by the Participant upon payout of the Performance Award, any Performance Goals upon which the Performance Award is subject, any Performance Period during which any Performance Goals
must be achieved and such other provisions as the Committee will determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan. 
 9.3
Vesting. The Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, to the vesting of such Performance Awards as it deems appropriate, including the achievement of one or more of the
Performance Goals.
 9.4 Form and Timing of Performance Award Payment. Subject to the terms of this Plan, after the applicable
Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Awards will be entitled to receive payment on the value and number of Performance Awards earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to
which the corresponding Performance Goals have been achieved. Payment of earned Performance Awards will be as determined by the Committee and as evidenced in the Incentive Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee, in
its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Awards in the form of cash or in shares of Common Stock (or in a combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Awards at the close of the


  
 17 







 
applicable Performance Period. Payment of any Performance Award will be made as soon as practicable after the Committee has determined the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have
been achieved and not later than the March 15th immediately following the end of the performance period, or earlier than the January 1st
preceding such March 15, except to the extent that a Participant has properly elected to defer payment that may be attributable to a Performance Award under a Company deferred compensation plan or arrangement. The determination of the Committee
with respect to the form of payment of Performance Awards will be set forth in the Incentive Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the award. Any shares of Common Stock issued in payment of earned Performance Awards may be granted subject
to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee, including that the Participant remain in the continuous employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain period.

10. Performance Cash Awards. 
 10.1
Grant. Subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant to Participants
Incentive Awards denominated in cash in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee may determine, which may be based on the achievement of specified Performance Goals for annual periods or other time periods as determined by the Committee
(the “Annual Performance Cash Awards”). 
 10.2 Target Payout. The target amount that may be paid with respect
to an Annual Performance Cash Award (the “Target Payout”) will be determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 13.2 and may be based on a percentage of a Participant’s actual annual base compensation at the time of grant
(“Participation Factor”), within the range established by the Committee for each Participant and subject to adjustment as may be determined by the Committee or its delegate.

11. Non-Employee Director Awards.
 11.1
Automatic and Non-Discretionary Awards to Non-Employee Directors. The Committee at any time and from time to time may approve resolutions providing for the automatic grant to Non-Employee Directors of Non-Employee Director Awards granted
under this Plan and may grant to Non-Employee Directors such discretionary Non-Employee Director Awards on such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion,
and set forth in an applicable Incentive Award Agreement. 
 11.2 Deferral of Incentive Award Payment. The Committee may permit a
Non-Employee Director the opportunity to defer payment of an Incentive Award pursuant to such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe from time to time. 

12. Other Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. 

12.1 Other Cash-Based Awards. Subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, as may be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Other Cash-Based Awards to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee may determine. 

  
 18 







 12.2 Other Stock-Based Awards. Subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with
the other provisions of this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee may grant Other Stock-Based Awards not otherwise described by the terms of this Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of
unrestricted shares of Common Stock) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee will determine. Such Incentive Awards may involve the transfer of actual shares of Common Stock to Participants or payment in cash or
otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares, and may include Incentive Awards designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws of jurisdictions other than the United States. 

12.3 Value of Other Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. Each Other Cash-Based Award will specify a payment amount or
payment range as determined by the Committee. Each Other Stock-Based Award will be expressed in terms of shares of Common Stock or units based on shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may establish
Performance Goals in its discretion for any Other Cash-Based Award or any Other Stock-Based Award. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish Performance Goals for any such Incentive Awards, the number or value of Other Cash-Based
Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participant will depend on the extent to which the Performance Goals are met. 

12.4 Payment of Other Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. Payment, if any, with respect to an Other Cash-Based Award or
an Other Stock-Based Award will be made in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Award, in cash for any Other Cash-Based Award and in cash or shares of Common Stock for any Other Stock-Based Award, as the Committee determines, except to the
extent that a Participant has properly elected to defer payment that may be attributable to an Other Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award under a Company deferred compensation plan or arrangement. 

13. Performance Measures. 
 13.1
Performance Measures. The Performance Goals upon which the payment or vesting of an Incentive Award to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may be based on one or more specified objective
Performance Measures that are based on any of the following Performance Measure elements as determined by the Committee (each, a “Performance Measure Element”):

(a) net earnings (either before or after one or more of the following: (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion
and/or accretion (iv) amortization, (v) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (vi) gain or loss on sale of assets, (vii) financing costs (viii) development costs (ix) non-cash charges and (x) unusual or non-recurring charges and (xi) gain or

Company or on per share basis, per ton basis, per product basis, per customer or prospect basis, per employee basis, or any other similar basis for the Company or any operating unit of the Company or as compared to any incremental increase or
decrease or as compared to results of a peer group or to market performance indicators or indices. 
 Any Performance Measure Element can be
a Performance Measure. In addition, any of the Performance Measure Element(s) can be used in an algebraic formula (e.g., averaged over a period, combined into a ratio, compared to a budget or standard, compared to previous periods or other
formulaic combinations) based on the Performance Measure Elements to create a Performance Measure. Any Performance Measure(s) may be used to measure the performance of the Company or Subsidiary as a whole or any division or business unit of the
Company, product or product group, region or territory, or Subsidiary, or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate. Any Performance Measure(s) can be compared to the performance of a peer group, or published or special
index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or the Company may select any Performance Measure(s) above as compared to various stock market indices. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting
of any Incentive Award based on the achievement of Performance Goals pursuant to any Performance Measure(s) specified in this Section 13.1. 

13.2 Establishment of Performance Goals. Any Incentive Award to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based
Compensation will be granted, and Performance Goals for such an Incentive Award will be established, by the Committee in writing not later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Performance Period to which the Performance Goals relate,
or such other period required under Section 162(m) of the Code; provided that the outcome is substantially uncertain at the time the Committee establishes the Performance Goal; and provided further that in no event will a Performance Goal be
considered to be pre-established if it is established after twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period (as scheduled in good faith at the time the Performance Goal is established) has elapsed. 

13.3 Certification of Payment. Before any payment is made in connection with any Incentive Award to a Covered Employee that is
intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee must certify in writing, as reflected in the minutes, that the Performance Goals established with respect to such Incentive Award have been achieved. 

13.4 Evaluation of Performance. The Committee may provide in any such Incentive Award Agreement including Performance Goals that
any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period: (a) items related to a change in accounting principles; (b) items relating to financing activities; (c) expenses for
restructuring or productivity initiatives; (d) other non-operating items; (e) items related to acquisitions; (f) items attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by the Company during the Performance Period; (g) items related to
the disposal of a business or 

  
 21 







 
segment of a business; (h) items related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business under applicable accounting standards; (i) items attributable to any stock
dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of stock occurring during the Performance Period; (j) any other items of significant income or expense which are determined to be appropriate adjustments; (k) items relating to unusual or extraordinary
corporate transactions, events or developments; (l) items related to amortization of acquired intangible assets; (m) items that are outside the scope of the Company’s core, on-going business activities; (n) items related to acquired in-process
research and development; (o) items relating to changes in tax laws; (p) items relating to major licensing or partnership arrangements; (q) items relating to asset impairment charges; (r) items relating to gains or losses for litigation,
arbitration and contractual settlements; (s) foreign exchange gains and losses; or (t) items relating to any other unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable laws, accounting principles or business conditions. To the extent such
inclusions or exclusions affect Incentive Awards to Covered Employees, they will be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code for deductibility. 

13.5 Adjustment of Performance Goals, Performance Periods or other Vesting Criteria. Subject to Section 13.6, the Committee may
amend or modify the vesting criteria (including any Performance Goals, Performance Measures or Performance Periods) of any outstanding Incentive Awards based in whole or in part on the financial performance of the Company (or any Subsidiary or
division, business unit or other sub-unit thereof) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including the events described in Section 4.5(a) hereof) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in
applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent unintended dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under this Plan. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be final, conclusive and binding on Participants under this Plan. For all Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, such
determinations shall be made within the time prescribed by, and otherwise in compliance with, Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 13.6
Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation. Incentive Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward. The Committee will retain the discretion to adjust such Incentive Awards
downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines. 
 13.7 Committee
Discretion. In the event that applicable tax or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee will have sole
discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Incentive Awards that will not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the
Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and base vesting on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 13.1. 

  
 22 







 14. Dividend Equivalents. 

Any Participant selected by the Committee may be granted dividend equivalents based on the dividends declared on shares of Common Stock that
are subject to any Incentive Award, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date the Incentive Award is granted and the date the Incentive Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the
Committee. Such dividend equivalents will be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may not grant dividend equivalents based on the dividends declared on shares of Common Stock that are subject to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right and further, no dividend or dividend equivalents will be paid out with respect to any
unvested Incentive Awards, the vesting of which is based on the achievement of Performance Goals. 
 15. Effect of Termination of Employment or Other
Service. 
 15.1 Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee in
its sole discretion in an Incentive Award Agreement, and subject to Sections 15.3 and 15.4 of this Plan, in the event a Participant’s employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of death, Disability
or Retirement (other than with respect to a Non-Employee Director): 
 (a) All outstanding Options (excluding Non-Employee
Director Options) and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will, to the extent exercisable as of the date of such termination, remain exercisable for a period of one year after the date of
such termination (but in no event after the expiration date of any such Option or Stock Appreciation Right) and Options and Stock Appreciation Rights not exercisable as of the date of such termination will be terminated and forfeited; 

(b) All outstanding Restricted Stock Awards held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination that have not
vested as of the date of such termination will be terminated and forfeited; 
 (c) All outstanding but unpaid Restricted
Stock Units, Performance Awards, Other Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will be terminated and forfeited; provided, however, that with respect to any
such Incentive Awards the vesting of which is based on the achievement of Performance Goals, if a Participant’s employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, is terminated by reason of death, Disability or
Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Period of such Incentive Award, but after the conclusion of a portion of the Performance Period (but in no event less than one year), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause shares of Common
Stock to be delivered or payment made with respect to the Participant’s Incentive Award, but only if otherwise earned for the entire Performance Period and only with respect to the portion of the applicable Performance Period completed at the
date of such event, with proration based on full fiscal years only and no shares to be delivered for 

  
 23 







 
partial fiscal years. The Committee will consider the provisions of Section 15.5 of this Plan and will have the discretion to consider any other fact or circumstance in making its decision
as to whether to deliver such shares of Common Stock or other payment, including whether the Participant again becomes employed; and 

(d) If the effective date of such termination is before the end of the Performance Period to which an Annual Performance Cash
Award relates, then any such Annual Performance Cash Award held by a Participant will be terminated and forfeited; if the effective date of such termination is on or after the end of the Performance Period to which an Annual Performance Cash Award
relates, then any such Annual Performance Cash Award held by a Participant will be paid to the Participant in accordance with the payment terms of such Award. 

15.2 Termination for Reasons Other than Death, Disability or Retirement. Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee in
its sole discretion in an Incentive Award Agreement, and subject to Sections 15.4 and 15.5 of this Plan, in the event a Participant’s employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than
death, Disability or Retirement: 
 (a) All outstanding Options (including Non-Employee Director Options) and Stock
Appreciation Rights held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will, to the extent exercisable as of such termination, remain exercisable for a period of three months after such termination (but in no event after the
expiration date of any such Option or Stock Appreciation Right) and Options and Stock Appreciation Rights not exercisable as of such termination will be terminated and forfeited. 

(b) All Restricted Stock Awards held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination that have not vested as of
such termination will be terminated and forfeited; 
 (c) All outstanding unpaid Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards,
Other Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will be terminated and forfeited; and 

(d) All outstanding Annual Performance Cash Awards held by a Participant as of the effective date of such termination will be
terminated and forfeited. 
 15.3 Modification of Rights upon Termination. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section
15, upon a Participant’s termination of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, the Committee may, in its sole discretion (which may be exercised at any time on or after the Grant Date, including
following such termination) cause Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or any part thereof) held by such Participant as of the effective date of such termination to terminate, become or continue to become exercisable or remain exercisable following
such termination of employment or service, and Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards, Annual Performance Cash Awards, Non-Employee Director Awards, Other Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards held by such Participant
as of the effective date of such termination to terminate, vest or 

  
 24 







 
become free of restrictions and conditions to payment, as the case may be, following such termination of employment or service, in each case in the manner determined by the Committee;
provided, however, that (a) no Option or Stock Appreciation Right may remain exercisable beyond its expiration date; (b) the Committee may not take any action not permitted pursuant to Section 13.6; (c) the Committee taking any such
action relating to Non-Employee Director Awards will consist solely of “independent directors” as defined in the NASDAQ Listing Rules (or other applicable exchange or market on which the Common Stock may be traded or quoted); and (d) any
such action by the Committee adversely affecting any outstanding Incentive Award will not be effective without the consent of the affected Participant (subject to the right of the Committee to take whatever action it deems appropriate under Section
4.5, 15.5, 17 or 21). 
 15.4 Determination of Termination of Employment or Other Service.

(a) The change in a Participant’s status from that of an Employee to that of a Consultant will, for purposes of this Plan,
be deemed to result in a termination of such Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, unless the Committee otherwise determines in its sole discretion. 

(b) The change in a Participant’s status from that of a Consultant to that of an Employee will not, for purposes of this
Plan, be deemed to result in a termination of such Participant’s service as a Consultant, and such Participant will thereafter be deemed to be an Employee until such Participant’s employment is terminated, in which event such Participant
will be governed by the provisions of this Plan relating to termination of employment or service (subject to paragraph (a) above). 

(c) Unless the Committee otherwise determines in its sole discretion, a Participant’s employment or other service will,
for purposes of this Plan, be deemed to have terminated on the date recorded on the personnel or other records of the Company or the Subsidiary for which the Participant provides employment or other service, as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion based upon such records. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if payment of an Incentive Award that is
subject to Section 409A of the Code is triggered by a termination of a Participant’s employment or other service, such termination must also constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and
any change in employment status that constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code will be treated as a termination of employment or service, as the case may be. 

15.5 Additional Forfeiture Events. 

(a) Effect of Actions Constituting Cause or Adverse Action. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary
and in addition to the other rights of the Committee under this Section 15.5, if a Participant is determined by the Committee, acting in its sole discretion, to have taken any action that would constitute Cause or an Adverse Action during or after
the termination of employment or other service with the Company or a Subsidiary, irrespective of whether such action or the Committee’s determination occurs before or after termination of such Participant’s employment or other service with
the 

  
 25 







 
Company or any Subsidiary and irrespective of whether or not the Participant was terminated as a result of such Cause or Adverse Action, (i) all rights of the Participant under this Plan and any
Incentive Award Agreements evidencing an Incentive Award then held by the Participant will terminate and be forfeited without notice of any kind, and (ii) the Committee in its sole discretion will have the authority to rescind the exercise, vesting
or issuance of, or payment in respect of, any Incentive Awards of the Participant that were exercised, vested or issued, or as to which such payment was made, and to require the Participant to pay to the Company, within ten (10) days of receipt from
the Company of notice of such rescission, any amount received or the amount of any gain realized as a result of such rescinded exercise, vesting, issuance or payment (including any dividends paid or other distributions made with respect to any
shares subject to any Incentive Award). The Company may defer the exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right for a period of up to six (6) months after receipt of the Participant’s written notice of exercise or the issuance of
share certificates upon the vesting of any Incentive Award for a period of up to six (6) months after the date of such vesting in order for the Committee to make any determination as to the existence of Cause or an Adverse Action. The Company
will be entitled to withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary) or make other arrangements for the collection of all amounts necessary
to satisfy such payment obligations. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an applicable Incentive Award Agreement, this Section 15.5(a) will not apply to any Participant following a Change in Control. 

(b) Forfeiture of Incentive Awards. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the
material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then any Participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will reimburse the Company for the amount of any Incentive Award received by such individual under this Plan during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as the case may be, of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. In addition, all Awards under this Plan will be subject to forfeiture or other penalties pursuant to any clawback or forfeiture policy of the
Company, as in effect from time to time, and such forfeiture and/or penalty conditions or provisions as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. In addition, the Company may seek to recover any Incentive
Award made as required by the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other clawback, forfeiture or recoupment provision required by Applicable Law or under the requirements of any stock exchange or market
upon which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or traded.
 16. Payment of Withholding Taxes. 

16.1 General Rules. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant (or from other amounts
that may be due and owing to the Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, foreign, state and local withholding


  
 26 







 
and employment related tax requirements attributable to an Incentive Award, including the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of, or payment of dividends with respect to, an Incentive Award or
a disqualifying disposition of stock received upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, or (b) require the Participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action, including issuing any shares of Common
Stock, with respect to an Incentive Award. When withholding shares of Common Stock for taxes is effected under this Plan, it shall be withheld only up to an amount based on the maximum statutory tax rates in the Participant’s applicable
tax jurisdiction or such other rate that will not trigger a negative accounting impact on the Company. 
 16.2 Special Rules. The
Committee may, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by the Committee, permit or require a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding or employment related tax obligation described in Section 16.1 of this
Plan by withholding shares of Common Stock underlying an Award, by electing to tender, or by attestation as to ownership of, Previously Acquired Shares, by delivery of a Broker Exercise Notice or a combination of such methods. For purposes of
satisfying a Participant’s withholding or employment-related tax obligation, shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company or Previously Acquired Shares tendered or covered by an attestation will be valued at their Fair Market Value. 

17. Change in Control. 
 17.1 Change in
Control. For purposes of this Section 17, a “Change in Control” of the Company will mean (a) the consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more
intermediaries) of (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination, (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions
or (iii) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case, other than a transaction which (x) results in the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets or otherwise succeeds to the business of the Company (the Company or such person, the “Successor Entity”)) directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity’s
outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction, and (y) after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided,
however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this Section 17.1(a)(iii)(y) as beneficially owning fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the
Company prior to the consummation of the transaction, (b) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, (c) any Person, other than Clearlake Capital Partners II (Master),
L.P. or any of its affiliates, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities ordinarily
having the right to vote at elections of directors in one transaction or a series of related transactions or (d) individuals who constitute the Board on the Effective Date of this Plan cease for any reason to constitute at least a


  
 27 







 
majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date of this Plan whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors comprising the Board on the Effective Date of this Plan (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for
director, without objection to such nomination) will be, for purposes of this clause (d), considered as though such person were a member of the Board on the Effective Date of this Plan unless such person’s initial assumption of office occurs as
a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board. 

17.2 Acceleration of Vesting. Without limiting the authority of the Committee under Sections 3.2 and 4.5 or 17.3 of this Plan, if a
Change in Control of the Company occurs, then, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in its sole discretion either in the Incentive Award Agreement evidencing an Incentive Award at the time of grant or at any time after the grant of an
Incentive Award the following provisions will apply: 
 (a) If the Successor Entity does not assume the outstanding Incentive
Awards or does not substitute equivalent equity awards relating to the securities of such Successor Entity or its affiliates for such Incentive Awards, then prior to the Change in Control (a) all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable until immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control and terminate upon consummation of the Change in Control; (b) all restrictions and vesting requirements
applicable to any Incentive Award based solely on the continued service of the Participant will terminate; and (c) all Incentive Awards the vesting or payment of which are based on Performance Goals will vest as though such Performance Goals were
fully achieved at target and will become immediately payable; provided, however, that no Incentive Award that provides for a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code will be cashed out upon the occurrence
of a Change in Control unless the event or circumstances constituting the Change in Control also constitute a “change in the ownership” of the Company, a “change in the effective control” of the Company or a “change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, in each case as determined under Section 409A of the Code. The treatment of any other Incentive Awards in the event of a Change in Control will be as determined by the
Committee in connection with the grant thereof, as reflected in the applicable Incentive Award Agreement. 
 (b) If the
Successor Entity assumes the outstanding Incentive Awards or substitutes equivalent equity awards relating to the securities of such Successor Entity or its affiliates for such Incentive Awards, then all such Incentive Awards or such substitutes
therefore shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provisions of the Plan or its successor. 

  
 28 







 17.3 Alternative Treatment of Stock-Based Awards. In connection with a Change in
Control, the Committee in its sole discretion, either in an Incentive Award Agreement at the time of grant of a Stock-Based Award or at any time after the grant of such an Incentive Award, may determine that any or all outstanding Stock-Based Awards
granted under this Plan, whether or not exercisable or vested, as the case may be, will be canceled and terminated and that in connection with such cancellation and termination the holder of such Stock-Based Award will receive for each share of
Common Stock subject to such Incentive Award a cash payment (or the delivery of shares of stock, other securities or a combination of cash, stock and securities with a fair market value (as determined by the Committee in good faith) equivalent to
such cash payment) equal to the difference, if any, between the consideration to be received by stockholders of the Company in respect of a share of Common Stock in connection with such Change in Control and the purchase price per share, if any,
under the Incentive Award, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Incentive Award (or in which such Incentive Award is denominated); provided that if such product is zero ($0) or less or to the extent that the Incentive
Award is not then exercisable, the Incentive Award may be canceled and terminated without payment therefor; provided, however, that no Stock-Based Award that provides for a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code will be cashed out upon the occurrence of a Change in Control unless the event or circumstances constituting the Change in Control also constitute a “change in the ownership” of the Company, a “change in the effective
control” of the Company or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, in each case as determined under Section 409A of the Code. The treatment of any other Stock-Based Awards in the event
of a Change in Control will be as determined by the Committee in connection with the grant thereof, as reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. If any portion of the consideration pursuant to a Change in Control may be received by holders of
shares of Common Stock on a contingent or delayed basis, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine the fair market value per share of such consideration as of the time of the Change in Control on the basis of the Committee’s good
faith estimate of the present value of the probable future payment of such consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Stock-Based Award that immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Change
in Control are subject to no further restrictions pursuant to this Plan or an Incentive Award Agreement (other than pursuant to the securities laws) will be deemed to be outstanding shares of Common Stock and receive the same consideration as other
outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control. 
 17.4 Limitation on Change in Control
Payments. Notwithstanding anything in Section 17.2 or 17.3 to the contrary, if, with respect to a Participant, the acceleration of the vesting of an Incentive Award as provided in Section 17.2 or the payment of cash in exchange for all or
part of a Stock-Based Award as provided in Section 17.3 (which acceleration or payment could be deemed a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), together with any other “payments” that such Participant
has the right to receive from the Company or any corporation that is a member of an “affiliated group” (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to Section 1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, would
constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the “payments” to such Participant pursuant to Section 17.2 or 17.3 will be reduced (or acceleration of vesting eliminated) to the largest
amount as will result in no portion of such “payments” being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided, that such reduction will be made only if the aggregate amount of the payments after such reduction
exceeds the difference between (a) the amount of such payments absent such reduction minus (b) the aggregate amount of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code attributable to any 

  
 29 







 
such excess parachute payments; and provided further that such payments will be reduced (or acceleration of vesting eliminated) in the following order: (i) options with an exercise price
above fair market value that have a positive value for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, (ii) pro rata among Incentive Awards that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and (iii) finally, among the Incentive Awards
that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if a Participant is subject to a separate agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or Subsidiary that expressly addresses the potential application of
Section 280G or 4999 of the Code, then this Section 17.4 will not apply and any “payments” to a Participant pursuant to Section 17.2 or 17.3 will be treated as “payments” arising under such separate agreement. 

18. Rights of Eligible Recipients and Participants; Transferability. 

18.1 Employment. Nothing in this Plan or an Incentive Award Agreement will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the
Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of any Eligible Recipient or Participant at any time, nor confer upon any Eligible Recipient or Participant any right to continue employment or other service with the Company or any
Subsidiary. 
 18.2 No Rights to Awards. No Participant or Eligible Recipient will have any claim to be granted any Incentive Award
under this Plan. 
 18.3 Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant will have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by any Stock-Based Award unless and until the Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares. 

18.4 Restrictions on Transfer. 

(a) Except pursuant to testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise expressly permitted by
subsections (b) and (c) below, no right or interest of any Participant in an Incentive Award prior to the exercise (in the case of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) or vesting, issuance or settlement of such Incentive Award will be assignable or
transferable, or subjected to any lien, during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise. 

(b) A Participant will be entitled to designate a beneficiary to receive an Incentive Award upon such Participant’s death,
and in the event of such Participant’s death, payment of any amounts due under this Plan will be made to, and exercise of any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 15 of this Plan) may be made by,
such beneficiary. If a deceased Participant has failed to designate a beneficiary, or if a beneficiary designated by the Participant fails to survive the Participant, payment of any amounts due under this Plan will be made to, and exercise of
any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 15 of this Plan) may be made by, the Participant’s legal representatives, heirs and legatees. If a deceased Participant has designated a beneficiary and
such beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before complete payment of all amounts due under this Plan or exercise of all exercisable Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, then such payments will be made to, and the exercise of such Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights may be made by, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the beneficiary. 

  
 30 







 (c) Upon a Participant’s request, the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
permit a transfer of all or a portion of a Non-Statutory Stock Option, other than for value, to such Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, any person sharing such Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which any of the foregoing have more than fifty percent (50%) of the
beneficial interests, a foundation in which any of the foregoing (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting
interests. Any permitted transferee will remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Participant prior to the transfer. A permitted transfer may be conditioned upon such requirements as the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, determine, including execution or delivery of appropriate acknowledgements, opinion of counsel, or other documents by the transferee. 

18.5 Non-Exclusivity of this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan is intended to modify or rescind any previously approved
compensation plans or programs of the Company or create any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such additional or other compensation arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable. 

19. Securities Law and Other Restrictions. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Incentive Award Agreements entered into pursuant to this Plan, the Company will not be
required to issue any shares of Common Stock under this Plan, and a Participant may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Incentive Awards granted under this Plan, unless (a) there is in effect
with respect to such shares a registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of a state or foreign jurisdiction or an exemption from such registration under the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign
securities laws, and (b) there has been obtained any other consent, approval or permit from any other U.S. or foreign regulatory body which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable. The Company may condition such
issuance, sale or transfer upon the receipt of any representations or agreements from the parties involved, and the placement of any legends on certificates representing shares of Common Stock, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company
in order to comply with such securities law or other restrictions. 
 20. Deferred Compensation; Compliance with Section 409A. 

It is intended that all Incentive Awards issued under the Plan be in a form and administered in a manner that will comply with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code, or the requirements of an exception to Section 409A of the Code, and the Incentive Award Agreements and this Plan will be construed and administered in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to such
intent. The Committee is authorized to adopt rules or regulations 

  
 31 







 
deemed necessary or appropriate to qualify for an exception from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. With respect to an Incentive Award that constitutes a
deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A: (i) if any amount is payable under such Incentive Award upon a termination of service, a termination of service will be treated as having occurred only at such time the Participant has
experienced a “separation from service” as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A; (ii) if any amount is payable under such Incentive Award upon a Disability, a Disability will be treated as having occurred only at such
time the Participant has experienced a “disability” as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A; (iii) if any amount is payable under such Incentive Award on account of the occurrence of a Change of Control, a Change of
Control will be treated as having occurred only at such time a “change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” as such terms are defined for
purposes of Code Section 409A, (iv) if any amount becomes payable under such Incentive Award on account of a Participant’s separation from service at such time as the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code
Section 409A, then no payment shall be made, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, prior to the first business day after the earlier of (y) the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s separation from service or (z)
the Participant’s death, and (v) no amendment to or payment under such Incentive Award will be made except and only to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. 

21. Amendment, Modification and Termination. 

21.1 Generally. Subject to other subsections of this Section 21 and Sections 3.4 and 21.3, the Board at any time may suspend or
terminate this Plan (or any portion thereof) or terminate any outstanding Incentive Award Agreement and the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may amend this Plan or amend or modify the terms of an outstanding Incentive Award. The
Committee’s power and authority to amend or modify the terms of an outstanding Incentive Award includes the authority to modify the number of shares or other terms and conditions of an Incentive Award, extend the term of an Incentive Award,
accelerate the exercisability or vesting or otherwise terminate any restrictions relating to an Incentive Award, accept the surrender of any outstanding Incentive Award or, to the extent not previously exercised or vested, authorize the grant of new
Incentive Awards in substitution for surrendered Incentive Awards; provided, however that the amended or modified terms are permitted by this Plan as then in effect and that any Participant adversely affected by such amended or
modified terms has consented to such amendment or modification. 
 21.2 Stockholder Approval. No amendments to this Plan will be
effective without approval of the Company’s stockholders if stockholder approval of the amendment is then required pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, the rules of the primary stock exchange or stock market on which the Common Stock is then
traded, applicable U.S. state corporate laws or regulations, applicable U.S. federal laws or regulations, and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where Incentive Awards are, or will be, granted under this Plan. 

21.3 Incentive Awards Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no termination,
suspension or amendment of this Plan may adversely affect any outstanding Incentive Award without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, however, that this sentence will not impair the right of the Committee to take
whatever action it deems appropriate under Sections 3.4, 4.5, 13.5, 15, 17, 20 or 21.4 of this Plan. 

  
 32 







 21.4 Amendments to Conform to Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan
to the contrary, the Committee may amend this Plan or an Incentive Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming this Plan or an Incentive Award Agreement to any present or
future law relating to plans of this or similar nature, and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. By accepting an Incentive Award under this Plan, a Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this
Section 21.4 to any Incentive Award granted under this Plan without further consideration or action. 
 22. Effective Date and Duration of this Plan.

 The Plan is effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan will terminate at midnight on the day before the ten year anniversary of the
date the Plan was initially approved by the Board, and may be terminated prior to such time by Board action. No Incentive Award will be granted after termination of this Plan, but Incentive Awards outstanding upon termination of this Plan will
remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of this Plan. 
 23. Miscellaneous. 

23.1 Usage. In this Plan, except where otherwise indicated by clear contrary intention, (a) any masculine term used herein also
will include the feminine, (b) the plural will include the singular, and the singular will include the plural, (c) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any
description preceding such term, and (d) “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or”. 
 23.2 Unfunded
Plan. Participants will have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company or its Subsidiaries may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no
action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other individual. To the extent
that any individual acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Subsidiary under this Plan, such right will be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be. All
payments to be made hereunder will be paid from the general funds of the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, and no special or separate fund will be established and no segregation of assets will be made to assure payment of such amounts
except as expressly set forth in this Plan. 
 23.3 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under this Plan will be taken into
account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare, or benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary unless provided otherwise in such plan. 

  
 33 







 23.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued or
delivered under this Plan or any Incentive Award. The Committee will determine whether cash, other Incentive Awards or other property will be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or whether such fractional shares of
Common Stock or any rights thereto will be forfeited or otherwise eliminated by rounding up or down. 
 23.5 Governing
Law. Except to the extent expressly provided herein or in connection with other matters of corporate governance and authority (all of which will be governed by the laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation), the validity,
construction, interpretation, administration and effect of this Plan and any rules, regulations and actions relating to this Plan will be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding the
conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdictions.
 23.6 Successors. All obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect
to Incentive Awards granted hereunder will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the
business or assets of the Company. 
 23.7 Construction. Wherever possible, each provision of this Plan and any Incentive Award
Agreement will be interpreted so that it is valid under the applicable law. If any provision of this Plan or any Incentive Award Agreement is to any extent invalid under the applicable law, that provision will still be effective to the extent
it remains valid. The remainder of this Plan and the Incentive Award Agreement also will continue to be valid, and the entire Plan and Incentive Award Agreement will continue to be valid in other jurisdictions. 

23.8 Delivery and Execution of Electronic Documents. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may: (a) deliver
by email or other electronic means (including posting on a Web site maintained by the Company or by a third party under contract with the Company) all documents relating to this Plan or any Incentive Award hereunder (including prospectuses required
by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including annual reports and proxy statements), and (b) permit Participants to use electronic, internet or other
non-paper means to execute applicable Plan documents (including Incentive Award Agreements) and take other actions under this Plan in a manner prescribed by the Committee. 

23.9 Indemnification. Subject to any limitations and requirements of Delaware law, each individual who is or shall have been a
member of the Board, or a Committee appointed by the Board, or an officer or Employee of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Section 3.3, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss,
cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of
any action taken or failure to act under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or
proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his/her own behalf. The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such individuals may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company
may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
