Non-Qualified Stock Options.

foreign countries, the Committee may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments,
restatements, or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such
supplements, amendments, restatements, or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3.1 of the Plan. 
 4.2 ACTUAL PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from among all eligible individuals, those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount

 ARTICLE 5 
 STOCK OPTIONS

GENERAL. Options may be granted to Eligible Participants on the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The
exercise price per share of Stock subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, that the exercise price for any Option shall not be less than Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the date of grant. 
 (b) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be
exercised in whole or in part; provided, that the term of any Option granted under the Plan shall not exceed ten years; and provided, further, that such Option shall be exercisable for not less than one year after the date of
the Participant’s death. The Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised. 
  

 6 







 (c) PAYMENT. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be
paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, promissory note bearing interest at no less than such rate as shall then preclude the imputation of interest under the Code, shares of Stock held for longer than six months having a
Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof, or other property acceptable to the Committee (including through the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a
market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option
exercise price; provided, that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale), and the methods by which shares of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a member of the Board or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of
an Option in any method which would violate Section 13(k). 
 (d) EVIDENCE OF GRANT. All Options shall be evidenced by a written Award
Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may be specified by the Committee. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. 
 6.3 FORFEITURE. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the
time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment or service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the

may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock. 
 6.4 CERTIFICATES
FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant,

 ARTICLE 7 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 7.1 GRANT OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. A Stock
Appreciation Right may be granted to any Eligible Participant selected by the Committee. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted (a) in connection and simultaneously with the grant of an Option, (b) with respect to a previously granted
Option, or (c) independent of an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. 
 7.2 COUPLED STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 
 (a) A Coupled Stock Appreciation Right (“CSAR”) shall be related to a particular Option and shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the related Option is exercisable. 
 (b) A CSAR may be granted to a Participant for no more than the number of shares subject to the simultaneously or previously granted Option to which it
is coupled. 
 (c) A CSAR shall entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to the Plan) to surrender
to the Company unexercised a portion of the Option to which the CSAR relates (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by
subtracting the Option exercise price from the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the CSAR by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the CSAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the
Committee may impose. 
 7.3 INDEPENDENT STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 
 (a) An Independent Stock Appreciation Right (“ISAR”) shall be unrelated to any Option and shall have a term set by the Committee. An ISAR
shall be exercisable in such installments as the Committee may determine. An ISAR shall cover such number of shares of Stock as the Committee may determine. The exercise price per share of Stock subject to each ISAR shall be set by the Committee;
provided, however, that the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that the ISAR may be exercised subsequent to a termination of employment or service, as applicable, or following a Change of Control, or because of
the Participant’s retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise. 
 (b) An ISAR shall entitle the Participant (or other person entitled
to exercise the ISAR pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the ISAR (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by
subtracting the exercise price per share of the ISAR from the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the ISAR by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the ISAR shall have been exercised, subject to any
limitations the Committee may impose.

 (b) To the extent any payment under
Section 7.2(c) or 7.3(b) is effected in Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Article 5 above pertaining to Options. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 OTHER TYPES OF AWARDS 
 8.1 PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS. Any Eligible Participant selected by the Committee may be granted one or more Performance Share awards which
may be denominated in a number of shares of Stock or in a dollar value of shares of Stock and which may be linked to any one or more specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or
over any period or periods determined by the Committee. In making such determinations, the Committee shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other
compensation of the particular Participant. 
 8.2 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. Any Eligible Participant selected by the Committee may
be granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on the shares of Stock that are subject to any Award, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date the Award is granted and the date the Award is

 8.3 STOCK PAYMENTS. Any Eligible Participant selected by the Committee may receive Stock Payments in the manner determined

date thereafter.

Stock in the manner determined from time to time by the Committee. The number of shares of Deferred Stock shall be determined by the Committee and may be linked to specific performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in each
case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Committee. Stock underlying a Deferred Stock award will not be issued until the Deferred Stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria
set by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Participant awarded Deferred Stock shall have no rights as a Company stockholder with respect to such Deferred Stock until such time as the Deferred Stock award has vested and the
Stock underlying the Deferred Stock award has been issued.

 8.5 TERM. The term of any Award of Performance Shares, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Payments
or Deferred Stock shall be set by the Committee in its discretion.

applicable state law. 
 8.7 EXERCISE UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE. An Award of Performance Shares, Dividend
Equivalents, Deferred Stock and Stock Payments shall only be exercisable or payable while the Participant is an Employee of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that an Award of
Performance Shares, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Payments or Deferred Stock may be exercised or paid subsequent to a termination of employment or service, as applicable, or following a Change of Control, or because of the Participant’s
retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.

Award shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

 10 







 9.4 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 9.3, a Participant may, in the manner determined
by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person
claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional
restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his beneficiary with respect to more than
50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person
entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed
with the Committee. 
 9.5 STOCK CERTIFICATES. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance
with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded. All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any
stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the
Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the
right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 CHANGES IN CAPITAL
STRUCTURE 
 10.1 ADJUSTMENTS. 
 (a) EQUITY RESTRUCTURING. In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1(b): 
 (1) The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or grant price per share thereof, as well as any other
applicable terms and conditions of each outstanding Award (including, without limitation, any performance 
  

 11 







 targets or criteria with respect thereto), will be proportionately adjusted. The adjustments provided under this
Section 10.1(a)(1) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company. 
 (2) The
Committee shall make such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan
(including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitation in Section 3.1). 
 (b) OTHER CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event
that the Committee determines that other than an Equity Restructuring, any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Stock, other securities or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, repurchase,
liquidation, dissolution, or sale transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance or warrants or other rights to purchase Stock or
other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event, in the Committee’s sole discretion, affects the Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Award, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of: 
 (1) The number and kind of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded (including, but not
limited to, adjustments of the limitation in Section 3.1 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued); 
 (2) The
number and kind of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; and 
 (3) The grant or exercise price
per share with respect to any outstanding Award, as well as any other applicable terms and conditions of each outstanding Award (including, without limitation, any performance targets or criteria with respect thereto). 
 10.2 ACCELERATION UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. If a Change of Control occurs and a Participant’s Awards are not converted, assumed, or
replaced by a successor, such Awards shall become fully exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such Awards shall lapse. Upon, or in anticipation of, a Change of Control, the Committee may cause any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to
terminate at a specific time in the future and shall give each Participant the right to exercise such Awards during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. In the event that the terms of any agreement
between the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate and a Participant contains provisions that conflict with and are more restrictive than the provisions of this Section 10.2, this Section 10.2 shall prevail and control and the more restrictive terms
of such agreement (and only such terms) shall be of no force or effect. 
 10.3 OUTSTANDING AWARDS – CERTAIN MERGERS.
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event that the Company shall be the 
  

 12 







 surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or consolidation as a result of which the holders
of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation), each Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would
have received in such merger or consolidation. 
 10.4 OUTSTANDING AWARDS – OTHER CHANGES. In the event of any other
change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in this Article 10, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares subject to Awards
outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in the per share grant or exercise price of each Award as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. 
 10.5 NO OTHER RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation.
Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or the grant or exercise price of any Award.

 11.1 COMMITTEE. Unless and until the Board delegates administration to the Committee as set forth below, the Plan shall be administered by the Board, which shall, in such event, constitute the
“Committee” for the purposes of the Plan. Any action taken by the Board in connection with the administration of the Plan shall not be deemed approved by the Board unless such actions are approved by a majority of the Independent
Directors. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to the Committee, and the term “Committee” shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated; provided, however, that such
Committee be comprised of a majority of or solely two or more Independent Directors. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the
Board, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in the Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to
such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. 
 The Board may
abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan. Any action taken by the Board in connection with the administration of the Plan shall continue to not be deemed approved by the Board unless such actions are
approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. Appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee
may only be filled by the Board.

 11.2 ACTION BY THE COMMITTEE. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The
acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts approved in writing by a majority of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is
entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive
compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. 
 11.3 AUTHORITY OF
COMMITTEE. Subject to any specific designation in the Plan, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to: 
 (a)
Adopt procedures from time to time in the Committee’s discretion to ensure that an Employee is eligible to participate in the Plan prior to the granting of any Awards to such Employee under the Plan (including, without limitation, a
requirement, if any, that each such Employee certify to the Company prior to the receipt of an Award under the Plan that he or she has not been previously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, or if previously employed, has had a bona fide period
of non-employment, and that the grant of Awards under the Plan is an inducement material to his or her agreement to enter into employment with the Company or a Subsidiary); 
 (b) Designate Participants to receive Awards; 
 (c) Determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant; 
 (d) Determine the number of Awards to be granted and
the number of shares of Stock to which an Award will relate; 
 (e) Determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted pursuant to the
Plan, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any reload provision, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of
an Award, and accelerations or waivers thereof, any provisions related to non-competition and recapture of gain on an Award, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines; 
 (f) Determine whether, to what extent, and pursuant to what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in
cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; 
 (g) Prescribe the form of each Award
Agreement, which need not be identical for each Participant; 
 (h) Decide all other matters that must be determined in connection with an
Award; 
  

 14 







 (i) Establish, adopt, or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable to
administer the Plan; 
 (j) Interpret the terms of, and any matter arising pursuant to, the Plan or any Award Agreement; and 
 (k) Make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer
the Plan. 
 11.4 DECISIONS BINDING. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan,
any Award Agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties. 
 ARTICLE 12 
 EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATE 
 12.1 EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan is effective as of the later of January 1, 2007 or the date of its adoption by the Board (the
“Effective Date”). 
 12.2 EXPIRATION DATE. The Plan will expire on, and no Award may be granted pursuant to
the Plan after December 31, 2007 (the “Expiration Date”). Any Awards that are outstanding on the Expiration Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement shall
provide that it will expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of the Award to which it relates. 
 ARTICLE 13

 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION 
 13.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. With the approval of the Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however,
that to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required. 
 13.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award
previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant. 
 ARTICLE 14 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 14.1 NO
RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Participant, employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons
uniformly. 
 14.2 NO STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award. 
  

 15 







 14.3 WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to
deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any
taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of the Plan. The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable
under an Award (or allow the return of shares of Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Stock which may be withheld with respect to the
issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award within six months after such shares of Stock were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy the
Participant’s federal, state, local and foreign income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of
withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable
income. 
 14.4 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in
any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 14.5 UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any
payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary. 

14.6 INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member 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 or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him
or her; provided, he or she gives 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 or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to 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. 
 14.7 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in
determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or
an agreement thereunder. 
  

 16 







 14.8 EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its
Subsidiaries. 
 14.9 TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Articles and Sections in the Plan are for convenience
of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 
 14.10
FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by
rounding up or down as appropriate. 
 14.11 LIMITATIONS APPLICABLE TO SECTION 16 PERSONS. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be
deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. 
 14.12 GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS.
The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation
to register pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any of the shares of Stock paid pursuant to the Plan. If the shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. 
 14.13 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 14.14 SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. In the event any provision of the Plan, or the application thereof, is or becomes inconsistent with
Section 409A of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder, such provision shall be void or unenforceable or in the sole discretion of the Committee shall be deemed amended to comply with Section 409A and any regulations
promulgated thereunder. The other provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

 ARTICLE 15 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 15.1 STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL NOT REQUIRED. It is expressly intended
that approval of the Company’s stockholders not be required as a condition of the effectiveness of the Plan, and the Plan’s provisions shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent for all purposes. Specifically, Rule
4350(i) promulgated by the NASD generally requires stockholder approval for stock option plans or other equity compensation arrangements adopted by companies whose securities are listed on the Nasdaq National Market pursuant to which stock awards or
stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees, or consultants of such companies. NASD Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv) provides an exception to this requirement for issuances of securities to a person not previously an employee or director of the
issuer, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to the individual’s entering into employment with the issuer; provided, such issuances are approved by either the issuer’s compensation committee
comprised of a majority of independent directors or a majority of the issuer’s independent directors. Awards under the Plan may only be made to Eligible Participants who have not previously been an Employee or director of the Company or a
Subsidiary, or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, as an inducement material to the Eligible Participant’s entering into employment with the Company or a Subsidiary. Awards under the Plan will be
approved by (i) the Company’s Compensation Committee comprised of a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors or (ii) a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors. Accordingly, pursuant to NASD Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv), the
issuance of Awards and the shares of Stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of such Awards pursuant to the Plan are not subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders.
