Plan, in which case references herein to the “Committee” shall be deemed to include references to the “Board.” Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, Rule 16b-3 and other applicable laws, the Committee shall have the
authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to: (i) designate Eligible Persons as Participants; 

  
 5 








 
(ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to an Eligible Person; (iii) determine the number of shares of Stock or amount of cash to be covered by Awards; (iv) determine
the terms and conditions of any Award, including whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be vested, settled, exercised, cancelled or forfeited; (v) modify, waive or adjust any term or condition of an Award that has been
granted, which may include the acceleration of vesting, waiver of forfeiture restrictions, modification of the form of settlement of the Award (for example, from cash to Stock or vice versa) or modification of any other condition or limitation
regarding an Award; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any Award Agreement; (vii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive rules and regulations used to administer the Plan; (viii) correct any defect, supply any omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, in any Award, or in any Award Agreement; and (ix) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The express
grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all
persons, including the Company, its Affiliates, shareholders, Participants, beneficiaries, and permitted transferees under Section 7(a) or other persons claiming rights from or through a Participant. 

(b) Exercise of Committee Authority. At any time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified Member, any action of the Committee
relating to (A) an Award granted or to be granted to an Eligible Person who is then subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company where such action is not taken by the full Board, or (B) a Section 162(m) Award,
may be taken either (i) by a subcommittee, designated by the Committee, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members, or (ii) by the Committee but with each such member who is not a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or
herself from such action; provided, however, that upon such abstention or recusal, the Committee remains composed solely of two or more Qualified Members. Such action, authorized by such a subcommittee or by the Committee upon the
abstention or recusal of such non-Qualified Member(s), shall be the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the full Board may take any action relating to an Award granted or to be granted to an Eligible Person
who is then subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company, provided that such award is not a Section 162(m) Award. 

(c) Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate any or all of its powers and duties under the Plan to a subcommittee of
directors or to any officer of the Company, including the power to perform administrative functions and grant Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that such delegation does not (i) violate state or corporate law,
(ii) result in the loss of an exemption under Rule 16b-3(d)(1) for Awards granted to Participants subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company, or (iii) cause Section 162(m) Awards to fail to so qualify. Upon
any such delegation, all references in the Plan to the “Committee,” other than in Section 8, shall be deemed to include any subcommittee or officer of the Company to whom such powers have been delegated by the Committee. Any
such delegation shall not limit the right of such subcommittee members or such an officer to receive Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that such subcommittee members and any such officer may not grant Awards to himself or
herself, a member of the Board, or any executive officer of the Company or an Affiliate, or take any action with respect to any Award previously granted to himself or herself, a member of the Board, or any executive officer of the Company or


  
 6 








 
an Affiliate. The Committee may also appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan that are not executive officers of the Company or members of the Board, provided that such individuals
may not be delegated the authority to (i) grant or modify any Awards that will, or may, be settled in Stock or (ii) take any action that would cause Section 162(m) Awards to fail to so qualify, if applicable. 

(d) Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or
other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Company’s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan.
Members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with
respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Company with respect to any such action or determination. 

(e) Participants in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to comply with applicable laws
in countries other than the United States in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates or has employees, directors or other service providers from time to time, or to ensure that the Company complies with any applicable requirements of
foreign securities exchanges, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which of the Company’s Affiliates shall be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which Eligible Persons outside
the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Eligible Persons outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws or listing requirements of any foreign
exchange; (iv) establish sub-plans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable (any such sub-plans and/or modifications shall be attached to the Plan as appendices),
provided, however, that no such sub-plans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 4(a); and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is granted, that it deems advisable to
comply with any applicable governmental regulatory exemptions or approval or listing requirements of any such foreign securities exchange. For purposes of the Plan, all references to foreign laws, rules, regulations or taxes shall be references to
the laws, rules, regulations and taxes of any applicable jurisdiction other than the United States or a political subdivision thereof. 
 4.
Stock Subject to Plan.  
 (a) Overall Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to adjustment in a manner
consistent with any adjustment made pursuant to Section 8, the total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery with respect to Awards under the Plan is
                 shares, and such total number of shares of Stock shall be available for the issuance of ISOs. 

(b) Application of Limitation to Grants of Awards. Subject to Section 4(c), no Award may be granted if the number of shares
of Stock to be delivered in connection with such Award exceeds the number of shares of Stock remaining available under the Plan minus the number of shares of Stock issuable in settlement of or relating to then-outstanding Awards. The Committee may
adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid 

  
 7 








 
double counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or Substitute Awards) and make adjustments if the number of shares of Stock actually delivered differs from the number of shares previously
counted in connection with an Award. 
 (c) Availability of Shares Not Delivered under Awards. Shares of Stock subject to an Award
under the Plan that expires or is cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated (including (i) shares forfeited with respect to Restricted Stock, and (ii) the number of shares withheld or surrendered to the
Company in payment of any exercise or purchase price of an Award or taxes relating to Awards) shall not be considered “delivered shares” under the Plan and shall again be available for delivery with respect to Awards under the Plan, except
that if any such shares could not again be available for Awards to a particular Participant under any applicable law or regulation, such shares shall be available exclusively for Awards to Participants who are not subject to such limitation. If an
Award may be settled only in cash, such Award need not be counted against any share limit under this Section 4, but will remain subject to the limitations in Section 5 to the extent required to preserve the status of any
Award intended to be a Section 162(m) Award. 
 (d) Stock Offered. The shares of Stock to be delivered under the Plan shall be
made available from (i) authorized but unissued shares of Stock, (ii) Stock held in the treasury of the Company, or (iii) previously issued shares of Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market. 

5. Eligibility; Per Person Award Limitations. Awards may be granted under the Plan only to persons who are Eligible Persons at the time
of grant thereof. Beginning with the calendar year in which the Transition Period expires and for each calendar year thereafter, a Covered Employee may not be granted Awards intended to be Section 162(m) Awards (a) to the extent such Award
is based on a number of shares of Stock (other than such an Award designated to be paid only in cash) relating to more than                  shares of Stock, subject to
adjustment in a manner consistent with any adjustment made pursuant to Section 8, and (b) to the extent such Award is designated to be paid only in cash, having a value determined on the date of grant in excess of
$        . 
 6. Specific Terms of Awards. 

(a) General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6. Awards granted under the Plan
may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with any other Award. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to
Section 10), such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. 

(b) Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options, which may be designated as either ISOs or Nonstatutory Options, to Eligible
Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) Exercise Price. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Option shall state the
exercise price per share of Stock (the “Exercise Price”); provided, however, that 

  
 8 








 
except as provided in Section 6(j) or in Section 8, the Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than the greater of (A) the par value per share of the Stock or
(B) 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock as of the date of grant of the Option (or in the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
of the Company or its parent or any of its subsidiaries, 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock on the date of grant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Option that (1) does not provide for a
deferral of compensation by reason of satisfying the short-term deferral exception set forth in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules or (2) provides for a deferral of compensation and is compliant with the Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation Rules, in each case, may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock as of the date of grant of the Option as determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted. 

(ii) Time and Method of Exercise; Other Terms. The Committee shall determine the number of shares of Stock to which the Option
relates, the time or times at which or the circumstances under which an Option may be vested and/or exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of one or more performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) and/or future
service requirements), the methods by which such Exercise Price may be paid or deemed to be paid, the form of such payment, including without limitation, cash or cash equivalents, Stock (including previously owned shares or through a cashless or
broker-assisted exercise, net settlement or other reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option), other Awards or awards granted under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate, other property, or any other legal
consideration the Committee deems appropriate (including notes or other contractual obligations of Participants to make payment on a deferred basis), the methods by or forms in which Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants,
including, but not limited to, the delivery of Restricted Stock subject to Section 6(d), and any other terms and conditions of any Option. In the case of an exercise whereby the Exercise Price is paid with Stock, such Stock shall be
valued as of the date of exercise. No Option may be exercisable for a period of more than ten (10) years following the date of grant of the Option (or in the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent or any of its subsidiaries, for a period of more than five (5) years following the date of grant of the ISO). 

(iii) ISOs. The terms of any ISO granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of section 422 of the Code.
ISOs may only be granted to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company or employees of a parent or any subsidiary corporation of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs
(including any SAR in tandem therewith) shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify either the Plan or any ISO under section 422 of the Code, unless the
Participant has first requested the change that will result in such disqualification. ISOs shall not be granted more than ten years after the earlier of the adoption of the Plan or the approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock subject to an ISO and the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of stock of any parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code)
subject to any other “incentive stock option” (within the meaning of section 422 of the Code) of the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code)


  
 9 








 
that first becomes purchasable by a Participant in any calendar year may not (with respect to that Participant) exceed $100,000, or such other amount as may be prescribed under section 422 of the
Code. As used in the previous sentence, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date the “incentive stock option” is granted. Failure to comply with this provision shall not impair the enforceability or exercisability of any
Option, but shall cause the excess amount of shares to be reclassified in accordance with the Code. 
 (c) Stock Appreciation Rights.
The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) Right to Payment. An SAR
is a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (B) the grant price of the SAR as determined by the Committee. 

(ii) Grant Price. Each Award Agreement evidencing an SAR shall state the grant price per share of Stock; provided,
however, that except as provided in Section 6(j) or in Section 8, the grant price per share of Stock subject to an SAR shall not be less than the greater of (A) the par value per share of the Stock or
(B) 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock as of the date of grant of the SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the grant price of an SAR that (1) does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of satisfying the
short-term deferral exception set forth in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules or (2) provides for a deferral of compensation and is compliant with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules, in each case, may be less than 100% of
the Fair Market Value per share of Stock subject to an SAR as of the date of grant of the SAR and shall be determined by the Committee at the time the SAR is granted. 

(iii) Time and Method of Exercise; Other Terms. The Committee shall determine the number of shares of Stock to which the SAR relates,
the time or times at which and the circumstances under which an SAR may be vested and/or exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of one or more performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) and/or future service
requirements), the form of consideration payable upon settlement, the method by or forms in which Stock (if any) will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. SARs may be either
free-standing or in tandem with other Awards. No SAR may be exercisable for a period of more than ten (10) years following the date of grant of the SAR. 

(iv) Rights Related to Options. An SAR granted in connection with an Option shall entitle a Participant, upon exercise, to surrender
that Option or any portion thereof, to the extent unexercised, and to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying (A) the difference obtained by subtracting the Exercise Price with respect to a share of Stock specified in the related
Option from the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR, by (B) the number of shares as to which that SAR has been exercised. The Option shall then cease to be exercisable to the extent surrendered. SARs granted
in connection with an Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement governing the Option, which shall provide that the SAR is exercisable only at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Option is
exercisable and shall not be transferable except to the extent that the related Option is transferrable. 

  
 10 








 (d) Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Eligible
Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) Grant and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions
on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of one or more
performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) and/or future service requirements), in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. During the restricted period applicable to the
Restricted Stock, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hedged, hypothecated, margined or otherwise encumbered by the Participant. 

(ii) Dividends and Splits. As a condition to the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee may allow a Participant to
elect, or may require, that any cash dividends paid on a share of Restricted Stock be automatically reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock, applied to the purchase of additional Awards under the Plan or deferred without interest to the
date of vesting of the associated Award of Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and specified in the applicable Award Agreement, Stock distributed in connection with a Stock split or Stock dividend, and other property
(other than cash) distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Stock or other property has been distributed. 

(e) Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons on the following terms and
conditions: 
 (i) Award and Restrictions. Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions (which may include a risk of
forfeiture) as the Committee may impose, if any, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier specified times (including based on achievement of one or more performance goals pursuant to
Section 6(k) and/or future service requirements), separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. 

(ii) Settlement. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall occur upon expiration of the deferral period specified for such
Restricted Stock Units by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). Settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall be made by delivery of (A) a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of Restricted
Stock Units for which settlement is due, or (B) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the specified number of shares of Stock covered by such Restricted Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee at the
date of grant or thereafter. 
 (f) Stock Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Awards under the Plan to Eligible
Persons as a bonus, as additional compensation, or in lieu of cash compensation any such Eligible Person is otherwise entitled to receive, in such amounts and subject to such other terms as the Committee in its discretion determines to be
appropriate. 

  
 11 








 (g) Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to
Eligible Persons, entitling any such Eligible Person to receive cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property equal in value to dividends or other distributions paid with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock, or other periodic payments.
Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award (other than an Award of Restricted Stock or a Stock Award). The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when
accrued or at a later specified date and, if distributed at a later date, may be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock, Awards, or other investment vehicles or accrued in a bookkeeping account without interest, and subject to such
restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. With respect to Dividend Equivalents granted in connection with another Award, absent a contrary provision in the Award Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents shall
be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the Award with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid unless and until such Award has vested and been earned. 

(h) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Eligible Persons
such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including without limitation
convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Stock, purchase rights for Stock, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the Committee,
and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Stock or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Affiliates of the Company. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards. Stock
delivered pursuant to an Other-Stock Based Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 6(h) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without
limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee shall determine. 
 (i) Cash Awards. The Committee is
authorized to grant Cash Awards, on a free-standing basis or as an element of or supplement to, or in lieu of, any other Award under the Plan to Eligible Persons in such amounts and subject to such other terms (including the achievement of one or
more performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) and/or future service requirements) as the Committee in its discretion determines to be appropriate. 

(j) Substitute Awards; No Repricing. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution for similar awards held by individuals who
become Eligible Persons as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of another entity or the assets of another entity by or with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Such Substitute Awards referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence that are Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may have an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Rules and other applicable laws and exchange rules. Except as provided in this Section 6(j) or in Section 8, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the Exercise Price or grant price of outstanding
Options or SARs or to cancel outstanding Options and SARs in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or SARs with an Exercise Price or grant price that is less than the Exercise Price or grant price of the original Options or SARs without the
approval of the shareholders of the Company. 

  
 12 








 (k) Performance Awards. The Committee is authorized to designate any of the Awards granted
under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 as Performance Awards. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance goals applicable to a
Performance Award, and may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any Performance Award, except as limited under Section 6(k)(i). Performance goals may differ for Performance Awards granted to any one
Participant or to different Participants. The performance period applicable to any Performance Award shall be set by the Committee in its discretion but shall not exceed ten (10) years. 

(i) Section 162(m) Awards. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a Performance Award granted to a
Covered Employee shall be designated as a Section 162(m) Award, the grant, exercise, vesting and/or settlement of such Performance Award shall be contingent upon achievement of a pre-established performance goal or goals and other terms set
forth in this Section 6(k)(i); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6(k) or elsewhere in the Plan shall be interpreted as preventing the Committee from granting Performance Awards or other Awards to
Covered Employees that are not intended to constitute Section 162(m) Awards or from determining that it is no longer necessary or appropriate for a Section 162(m) Award to qualify as such. 

(A) Performance Goals Generally. The performance goals for Section 162(m) Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria
and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria as specified by the Committee. Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code (including Treasury
Regulation § 1.162-27 and successor regulations thereto), including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee must be “substantially uncertain” at the time the Committee actually establishes the
performance goal or goals. 
 (B) Business Criteria for Performance Goals. One or more of the following business criteria for the
Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified subsidiaries, business or geographical units or operating areas of the Company (except with respect to the total shareholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be used by the
Committee in establishing performance goals for Section 162(m) Awards: (1) revenues or other income; (2) cash flow, discretionary cash flow, cash flows from operations, cash flows from investing activities, or cash flows from
financing activities; (3) return on net assets, return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, return on capital employed or return on equity; (4) income, operating income or net income; (5) earnings before any one or more

which may be of oil, gas, natural gas liquids or any combination thereof; (9) general and administrative expenses; (10) proved reserves, reserve replacement, drillbit reserve replacement or reserve growth; (11) exploration and
development costs, capital expenditures, finding and development costs, drillbit finding and development costs, operating costs (including, but not limited to, lease operating expenses, severance taxes and other production taxes, gathering and
transportation and other components of operating expenses), base operating costs, or production costs; (12) net asset value; (13) Fair Market Value of the Stock, share price, share price appreciation, total shareholder return or payments
of dividends; (14) achievement of savings from business improvement projects and achievement of capital projects deliverables; (15) working capital or working capital changes; (16) operating profit or net operating profit;
(17) internal research or development programs; (18) geographic business expansion; (19) corporate development (including, without limitation, licenses, innovation, research or establishment of third party collaborations);
(20) performance against environmental, ethics or sustainability targets; (21) safety performance and/or incident rate; (22) human resources management targets, including medical cost reductions, employee satisfaction or retention,
workforce diversity and time to hire; (23) satisfactory internal or external audits; (24) consummation, implementation or completion of a Change in Control or other strategic partnerships, transactions, projects, processes or initiatives
or other goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures (in whole or in part), joint ventures or strategic alliances; (25) regulatory approvals or other regulatory milestones; (26) legal compliance or risk reduction; and (27) drilling
results. Any of the above goals may be determined pre-tax or post-tax, on an absolute or relative basis, as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the
Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or a group of comparable companies, as a ratio with other business criteria, as a ratio over a period of time or on a per unit of measure (such as per day, or per barrel, a volume or thermal unit of
gas or a barrel-of-oil equivalent), on a per-share basis (basic or diluted), and on a basis of continuing operations only. The terms above may, but shall not be required to be, used as applied under generally accepted accounting principles, as
applicable. 
 (C) Effect of Certain Events. The Committee may, at the time the performance goals in respect of a
Section 162(m) Award are established, provide for the manner in which actual performance and performance goals with regard to the business criteria selected will reflect the impact of specified events during the relevant performance period,
which may mean excluding the impact of any or all of the following events or occurrences for such performance period: (1) asset write-downs or impairments to assets; (2) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements; (3) accruals for
reorganization and restructuring programs; (4) any unusual or infrequent items; (5) any gain or loss from a discontinued operation; (6) goodwill impairment charges; (7) operating results for any business, asset or property (or
interest therein) acquired or sold; (8) third party expenses associated with any investment or acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary; (9) any amounts accrued by the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to management bonus plans or
cash profit sharing plans and related employer payroll taxes for the fiscal year; (10) any discretionary or matching contributions made to a savings and deferred profit-sharing plan or deferred compensation plan for the fiscal year;
(11) interest, expenses, taxes, depreciation and depletion, amortization and accretion charges; (12) mark-to-market adjustments for financial instruments; and (13) changes in business strategy impacting


  
 14 








 
timing and magnitude of financial operating goals, including, but not limited to, expenses, operating cash flow, and balance sheet goals. Unless the Committee otherwise elects, the performance
goals in respect of a Section 162(m) Award shall be deemed to exclude the impact of the following events or occurrences for such performance period: (i) the effect of changes in tax law or other such laws or regulations affecting reported
results; (ii) any change in accounting principles; and (iii) events of force majeure beyond the Company’s control, such as acts of God, wars (declared or undeclared), insurrections, hostilities, strikes, lockouts, riots, floods,
fires, storms, industrial disturbances, acts of the public enemy, sabotage, blockades, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, washouts, arrests and restraints of rulers and peoples, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage or accidents to machinery,
equipment, facilities or lines of pipe and subsequent repairs, freezing of wells, pipe or other facilities, partial or entire failure of wells, pipe or other facilities, and action or restraint by court order or public or governmental authority. In
addition, a Section 162(m) Award may be adjusted by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8. The adjustments described in this paragraph shall only be made, in each case, to the extent that such adjustments in
respect of a Section 162(m) Award would not cause the Section 162(m) Award to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code. 

(D) Timing for Establishing Performance Goals. No later than 90 days after the beginning of any performance period applicable to a
Section 162(m) Award, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall establish (i) the Eligible Persons who will be granted
Section 162(m) Awards, and (ii) the objective formula used to calculate the amount of cash or Stock payable, if any, under such Section 162(m) Awards, based upon the level of achievement of a performance goal or goals with respect to
one or more of the business criteria selected by the Committee from the list set forth in Section 6(k)(i)(B). 
 (E)
Performance Award Pool. The Committee may establish an unfunded pool, with the amount of such pool calculated using an objective formula based upon the level of achievement of one or more performance goals with respect to business criteria
selected from the list set forth in Section 6(k)(i)(B) during the given performance period, as specified by the Committee in accordance with Section 6(k)(i)(D). The Committee may specify the amount of the pool as a percentage
of any of such business criteria, a percentage in excess of a threshold amount with respect to such business criteria, or as another amount which need not bear a direct relationship to such business criteria but shall be objectively determinable and
calculated based upon the level of achievement of pre-established goals with regard to the business criteria. 
 (F)
Settlement or Payout of Awards; Other Terms. Except as otherwise permitted under section 162(m) of the Code, after the end of each performance period and before any Section 162(m) Award is settled or paid, the Committee shall certify the
level of performance achieved with regard to each business criteria established with respect to each Section 162(m) Award and shall determine the amount of cash or Stock, if any, payable to each Participant with respect to each
Section 162(m) Award. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a payment or settlement otherwise to be made in connection with a Section 162(m) Award, but may not exercise discretion to increase any such amount payable to
a Covered Employee in respect of a Section 162(m) Award. 

  
 15 








 (G) Written Determinations. With respect to each Section 162(m) Award, all
determinations by the Committee as to (1) the establishment of performance goals and performance period with respect to the selected business criteria, (2) the establishment of the objective formula used to calculate the amount of cash or
Stock payable, if any, based on the level of achievement of such performance goals, and (3) the certification of the level of performance achieved during the performance period with regard to each business criteria selected, shall each be made
in writing. 
 (H) Options and SARs. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(k)(i), Options and SARs
with an Exercise Price or grant price not less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant awarded to Covered Employees are intended to be Section 162(m) Awards even if not otherwise contingent upon achievement of one or more
pre-established performance goal or goals with respect to business criteria listed above. 
 (ii) Status of Section 162(m)
Awards. The terms governing Section 162(m) Awards shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with section 162(m) of the Code, in particular the prerequisites for qualification as “performance-based compensation,” and, if any
provision of the Plan as in effect on the date of adoption of any Award Agreement relating to a Section 162(m) Award does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code, such provision shall be construed or
deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(k)(i) or elsewhere in the Plan, the Company intends to rely on the transition relief set forth in Treasury
Regulation § 1.162-27(f), and hence the deduction limitation imposed by section 162(m) of the Code will not be applicable to the Company until the earliest to occur of (i) the material modification of the Plan within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation § 1.162-27(h)(1)(iii); (ii) the delivery of the total number of shares of Stock set forth in Section 4(a); or (iii) the first meeting of shareholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected
that occurs after December 31, 2019 (the “Transition Period”), and during the Transition Period, Awards to Covered Employees shall only be required to comply with the transition relief described in Treasury Regulation
§ 1.162-27(f). 
 7. Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards. 

(a) Limit on Transfer of Awards. 

(i) Except as provided in Sections 7(a)(iii) and (iv), each Option and SAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant during
the Participant’s lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(a), an ISO shall not be
transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 (ii) Except as provided in Sections 7(a)(iii) and
(iv), no Award other than a Stock Award, and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge,
attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. 

  
 16 








 (iii) To the extent specifically provided by the Committee, an Award may be transferred by a
Participant without consideration to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish. 

(iv) An Award may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order entered or approved by a court of competent jurisdiction upon
delivery to the Company of a written request for such transfer and a certified copy of such order. 
 (b) Form and Timing of Payment
under Awards; Deferrals. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or any of its Affiliates upon the exercise or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee
shall determine in its discretion, including without limitation cash, Stock, other Awards or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis (which may be required by the Committee or
permitted at the election of the Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee); provided, however, that any such deferred or installment payments will be set forth in the Award Agreement and/or otherwise made in a
manner that will not result in additional taxes under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. Payments may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the
grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents or other amounts in respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in Stock. The Plan shall not constitute an “employee benefit plan” for purposes of section 3(3) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 
 (c) Evidencing Stock. The Stock or other securities of the Company delivered
pursuant to an Award may be evidenced in any manner deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, in the form of a certificate issued in the name of the Participant or by book entry, electronic or
otherwise and shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange
upon which such Stock or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal, state or other laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such
Restricted Stock, that the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, related to the Restricted Stock. 

(d) Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee shall determine, but
shall not be granted for less than the minimum lawful consideration. 
 (e) Additional Agreements. Each Eligible Person to whom an
Award is granted under the Plan may be required to agree in writing, as a condition to the grant of such Award or otherwise, to subject an Award that is exercised or settled following such Eligible Person’s termination of employment or service
to a general release of claims and/or a noncompetition or other restricted covenant agreement in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, with the terms and conditions of such agreement(s) to be determined in good faith by the Committee. 

  
 17 








 (f) Termination of Service. Except as provided herein, the treatment of an Award upon a
termination of employment or any other service relationship by and between a Participant and the Company or any Affiliate shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 

8. Subdivision or Consolidation; Recapitalization; Change in Control; Reorganization. 

(a) Existence of Plans and Awards. The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or
power of the Company, the Board or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the
Company, any issue of debt or equity securities ahead of or affecting Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any
other corporate act or proceeding. 
 (b) Subdivision or Consolidation of Shares. The terms of an Award and the share limitations
under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee from time to time, in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (i) If at
any time, or from time to time, the Company shall subdivide as a whole (by reclassification, by a Stock split, by the issuance of a distribution on Stock payable in Stock, or otherwise) the number of shares of Stock then outstanding into a greater
number of shares of Stock or in the event the Company distributes an extraordinary cash dividend, then, as appropriate (A) the maximum number of shares of Stock available for the Plan or in connection with Awards as provided in Sections
4 and 5 shall be increased proportionately, and the kind of shares or other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the number of shares of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) that may be
acquired under any then outstanding Award shall be increased proportionately, and (C) the price (including the Exercise Price or grant price) for each share of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) subject to then outstanding Awards
shall be reduced proportionately, without changing the aggregate purchase price or value as to which outstanding Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions. 

(ii) If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall consolidate as a whole (by reclassification, by reverse Stock split, or
otherwise) the number of shares of Stock then outstanding into a lesser number of shares of Stock, then, as appropriate (A) the maximum number of shares of Stock available for the Plan or in connection with Awards as provided in Sections
4 and 5 shall be decreased proportionately, and the kind of shares or other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the number of shares of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) that may be
acquired under any then outstanding Award shall be decreased proportionately, and (C) the price (including the Exercise Price or 

  
 18 








 
grant price) for each share of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) subject to then outstanding Awards shall be increased proportionately, without changing the aggregate purchase price
or value as to which outstanding Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions. 
 (iii) Whenever the number of shares of Stock
subject to outstanding Awards and the price for each share of Stock subject to outstanding Awards are required to be adjusted as provided in this Section 8(b), the Committee shall promptly prepare a notice setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the change in price and the number of shares of Stock, other securities, cash, or property purchasable subject to each
Award after giving effect to the adjustments. The Committee shall promptly provide each affected Participant with such notice. 
 (c)
Recapitalization. If the Company recapitalizes, reclassifies its capital stock, or otherwise changes its capital structure (a “recapitalization”) without the occurrence of a Change in Control, the number and class of
shares of Stock covered by an Award theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Award shall thereafter cover the number and class of shares of Stock and securities to which the holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the
recapitalization if, immediately prior to the recapitalization, the holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock then covered by such Award and the share limitations provided in Sections 4 and 5 shall be
adjusted in a manner consistent with the recapitalization. 
 (d) Additional Issuances. Except as expressly provided herein, the
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of
shares of Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share of Stock, if applicable. 
 (e) Change in Control
and Other Events. Except to the extent otherwise provided in any applicable Award Agreement, vesting of any Award shall not occur solely upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and, in the event of a Change in Control or other changes in the
outstanding Stock by reason of a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the date of the grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this
Section 8, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any holder, may effect one or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Options, SARs
or other Awards held by any individual holder: (i) remove any applicable forfeiture restrictions on any Award; (ii) accelerate the time of exercisability of an Award so that such Award may be exercised in full or in part for a limited
period of time on or before a date specified by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Awards and all rights of holders thereunder shall terminate; (iii) provide for a cash payment with respect to outstanding Awards by
requiring the mandatory surrender to the Company by selected holders of some or all of the outstanding Awards held by such holders (irrespective of whether such Awards are then vested or exercisable pursuant to the Plan) as of a date, specified by
the Committee, in which 

  
 19 








 
event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Awards (with respect to all shares subject to such Awards) and pay to each holder an amount of cash (or other consideration including securities or
other property) per Award (other than a Dividend Equivalent or Cash Award) equal to the Change in Control Price, less the Exercise Price with respect to an Option and less the grant price with respect to a SAR, as applicable to such Awards;
provided, however, that to the extent the Exercise Price of an Option or the grant price of an SAR exceeds the Change in Control Price, such Award may be canceled for no consideration; (iv) cancel Awards that remain subject to a
restricted period as of the date of a Change in Control or other such event without payment of any consideration to the Participant for such Awards; or (v) make such adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to
reflect such Change in Control or other such event (including, but not limited to, (x) the substitution, assumption, or continuation of Awards by the successor company or a parent or subsidiary thereof for new awards, and (y) the
adjustment as to the number and price of shares of Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards); provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Awards then
outstanding. 
 9. General Provisions. 

(a) Tax Withholding. The Company and any of its Affiliates are authorized to withhold from any Award granted, or any payment relating to
an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem
advisable to enable the Company, its Affiliates and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the form of payment
acceptable for such tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Stock (including previously owned shares, net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of
the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to the Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate. Any determination made by the Committee to allow a Participant who is subject to Rule
16b-3 to pay taxes with shares of Stock through net settlement or previously owned shares shall be approved by either a committee made up of solely two or more Qualified Members or the full Board. If such tax obligations are satisfied through net
settlement or previously owned shares, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of shares of Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to
the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state, foreign and/or local tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment with
respect to such Award, as determined by the Committee. 
 (b) Limitation on Rights Conferred under Plan. Neither the Plan nor any
action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person or Participant or in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) interfering in
any way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate any Eligible Person’s or Participant’s employment or service relationship at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or Participant any claim to be granted
any Award under the Plan or to be treated uniformly with other Participants and/or employees and/or other 

  
 20 








 
service providers, or (iv) conferring on a Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until the Participant is duly issued or transferred shares of Stock in
accordance with the terms of an Award. 
 (c) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. All questions arising with respect to the
provisions of the Plan and Awards shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof, except to the extent Delaware law is preempted by federal law. The obligation
of the Company to sell and deliver Stock hereunder is subject to applicable federal and state laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such Stock. With
respect to any claim or dispute related to or arising under the Plan, the Company and each Participant who accepts an Award hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the state and federal courts located in Houston, Texas. 

(d) Severability and Reformation. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if
it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award and the remainder of the Plan
and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. To the fullest extent possible, the grant of any Awards to, or other transaction by, a Participant who is subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from such section pursuant
to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged in writing to be non-exempt by such Participant). If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (as those terms or
provisions are applied to Eligible Persons who are subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act), section 162(m) of the Code (with respect to any Section 162(m) Award) or section 422 of the Code (with respect to ISOs), then those conflicting terms
or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or section 162(m) of the Code (unless the Board or the Committee, as appropriate, has expressly determined that the Plan or such Award
should not comply with Rule 16b-3 or section 162(m) of the Code) or section 422 of the Code. With respect to ISOs, if the Plan does not contain any provision required to be included herein under section 422 of the Code, that provision shall be
deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if that provision had been set out at length herein; provided, further, that, to the extent any Option that is intended to qualify as an ISO cannot so qualify, that Option (to
that extent) shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Option for all purposes of the Plan. 
 (e) Unfunded Status of Awards; No Trust or Fund
Created. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for certain incentive awards. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between
the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
general unsecured creditor of the Company or such Affiliate. 

  
 21 








 (f) Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its
submission to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including incentive
arrangements and awards which do not constitute “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any of its Affiliates from taking any corporate
action which is deemed by the Company or such Affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Award made under the Plan. No employee, beneficiary or other person shall
have any claim against the Company or any of its Affiliates as a result of any such action. 
 (g) Fractional Shares. No fractional
shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares
of Stock or whether such fractional shares of Stock or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated with or without consideration. 

(h) Interpretation. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.
Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular and
the singular shall include the plural. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of an Award Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. 

(i) Facility of Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any individual under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the
Committee, is unable to manage properly his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such individual, or may be applied for the benefit of such individual in any manner that the Committee may select, and the Company shall be
relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
 (j) Conditions to Delivery of Stock. Nothing herein or in any Award
Agreement shall require the Company to issue any shares with respect to any Award if that issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, any
other applicable statute or regulation, or the rules of any applicable securities exchange or securities association, as then in effect. In addition, each Participant who receives an Award under the Plan shall not sell or otherwise dispose of Stock
that is acquired upon grant or vesting of an Award in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws, the Plan or the rules, regulations or other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission
or any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed. At the time of any exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or at the time of any grant of any other Award the Company may, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such Option
or Stock Appreciation Right or settlement of any other Award, require from the Participant (or in the event of his or her death, his or her legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) such written representations, if any, concerning the
holder’s intentions with regard to the retention or disposition of the shares of Stock being acquired pursuant to the Award and such written covenants and agreements, if any, as to the manner of disposal of such shares as, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, may be 

  
 22 








 
necessary to ensure that any disposition by that holder (or in the event of the holder’s death, his or her legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) will not involve a
violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, any other applicable state or federal statute or regulation, or any rule of any applicable securities exchange or securities association, as then in effect. Stock or
other securities shall not be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any Exercise Price, grant price, or tax
withholding) is received by the Company. 
 (k) Section 409A of the Code. It is the general intention, but not the obligation,
of the Committee to design Awards to comply with or to be exempt from the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules, and Awards will be operated and construed accordingly. Neither this Section 9(k) nor any other provision of the Plan is
or contains a representation to any Participant regarding the tax consequences of the grant, vesting, exercise, settlement, or sale of any Award (or the Stock underlying such Award) granted hereunder, and should not be interpreted as such. In no
event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. Notwithstanding any
provision in the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a “specified employee” (as defined under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules) becomes entitled to a payment under an Award that would be subject to
additional taxes and interest under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules if the Participant’s receipt of such payment or benefits is not delayed until the earlier of (i) the date of the Participant’s death, or (ii) the
date that is six months after the Participant’s “separation from service,” as defined under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules (such date, the “Section 409A Payment Date”), then such payment or
benefit shall not be provided to the Participant until the Section 409A Payment Date. Any amounts subject to the preceding sentence that would otherwise be payable prior to the Section 409A Payment Date will be aggregated and paid in a
lump sum without interest on the Section 409A Payment Date. The applicable provisions of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules are hereby incorporated by reference and shall control over any Plan or Award Agreement provision in conflict
therewith. 
 (l) Clawback. The Plan is subject to any written clawback policies that the Company, with the approval of the Board or
an authorized committee thereof, may adopt either prior to or following the Effective Date, including any policy adopted to conform to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and rules promulgated thereunder by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and that the Company determines should apply to Awards under the Plan. Any such policy may subject a Participant’s Awards and amounts paid or realized with respect to Awards under the Plan to reduction,
cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment if certain specified events or wrongful conduct occur, including but not limited to an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with financial reporting regulations or other events
or wrongful conduct specified in any such clawback policy. 
 (m) Plan Effective Date and Term. The Plan was adopted by the Board to
be effective on the Effective Date. No Awards may be granted under the Plan on and after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, which is             , 2026. However, any Award granted


  
 23 








 
prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such
Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan, shall extend beyond such termination date until the final disposition of such Award. 
 10.
Amendments to the Plan and Awards. The Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards under the Plan without the consent of shareholders or Participants, except that
any amendment or alteration to the Plan, including any increase in any share limitation, shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders not later than the annual meeting next following such Committee action if such shareholder
approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Committee may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit
other such changes to the Plan to shareholders for approval; provided, that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any previously
granted and outstanding Award. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto, except as otherwise provided in the
Plan; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award. For purposes of clarity, any adjustments made
to Awards pursuant to Section 8 will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any previously granted and outstanding Award and therefore may be made without the consent of affected
Participants.
