NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Plan be amended as follows, effective as of the date this Amendment is approved by the
Company’s Board of Directors: 
 1. Section 3(e) is hereby deleted from the Plan, current subsection “(f)”

 “(e) To the
extent permitted by applicable law or the rules of any Securities Exchange, the Board or Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more Independent Directors or one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or
amend Awards or to take other administrative actions pursuant to Section 3; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following
individuals: (i) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (ii) Covered Employees, or (iii) officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority to grant or amend 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, applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act or any successor rule), and the rules of any Securities Exchange. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board or Committee

Section 9(e) is effective may be granted to any one or more Participants without respect to such minimum vesting provisions.” 

3. All references to “Section 9(q)” in Section 6 of the Plan are hereby deleted and replaced with “Section
