respect to the factors it considers.

or unexpected items when determining whether the performance goals have been met. The goals may be on the basis of any factors the Committee determines relevant, and may be on an individual, divisional, business unit, segment or Company-wide basis.
Any criteria used may be measured on such basis as the Committee determines, including but not limited to, as applicable, (A) in absolute terms, (B) in combination with another performance goal or goals (for example, but not by way of
limitation, as a ratio or matrix), (C) in relative terms (including, but not limited to, results for other periods, passage of time and/or against another company or companies or an index or indices), (D) on a per-share basis, (E) against the performance of the Company as a whole or a segment of the Company and/or (F) on a pre-tax or
after-tax basis. The performance goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from award to award. Failure to meet the goals will result in a failure to earn the Target Award, except as provided in
Section 3(d). 
 4.    Payment of Awards. 

(a)    Right to Receive Payment. Each Actual Award will be paid solely from the general assets of the Company.
Nothing in this Plan will be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled. 

(b)    Timing of Payment. Payment of each Actual Award shall be made as soon as practicable after the end of the
Performance Period to which the Actual Award relates and after the Actual Award is approved by the Committee, but in no event following the later of (i) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month of the Fiscal Year immediately following
the Fiscal Year in which the Participant’s Actual Award is first no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, and (ii) March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant’s
Actual Award is first no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to earn an Actual Award a Participant must be employed by the Company or any Affiliate on the date the Actual Award is paid.

 It is the intent that this Plan be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A so that none of the payments to
be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Code Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment under this Plan is intended to constitute a separate payment
for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

 (c)    Form of Payment. Each Actual Award will be paid in cash
(or its equivalent) in a single lump sum. 
 (d)    Payment in the Event of Death or Disability. If a Participant
dies or becomes Disabled prior to the payment of an Actual Award earned by him or her prior to death or Disability for a prior Performance Period, the Actual Award will be paid to his or her estate or to the Participant, as the case may be, subject
to the Committee’s discretion to reduce or eliminate any Actual Award otherwise payable. 
 5.    Plan
Administration. 
 (a)    Committee is the Administrator. The Plan will be administered by the Committee. The
Committee will consist of not less than two (2) members of the Board. The members of the Committee will be appointed from time to time by, and serve at the pleasure of, the Board. 

(b)    Committee Authority. It will be the duty of the Committee to administer the Plan in accordance with the
Plan’s provisions. The Committee will have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to (i) determine which Employees will be granted
awards, (ii) prescribe the terms and conditions of awards, (iii) interpret the Plan and the awards, (iv) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Employees who are
foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, (v) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (vi) interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. 

(c)    Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the Committee, the Board, and any delegate of
the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan will be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and will be given the maximum deference permitted by law. 

(d)    Delegation by Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may
provide, may delegate all or part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more directors and/or officers of the Company. 

(e)    Indemnification. Each person who is or will have been a member of the Committee will be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she
may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any award, and (ii) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or
paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she will give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she
undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 6.    General Provisions. 

(a)    Tax Withholding. The Company (or the Affiliate employing the applicable Employee) will withhold all
applicable taxes from any Actual Award, including any federal, state and local taxes (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations). 

(b)    No Effect on Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan will interfere with or limit in any way the right of
the Company (or the Affiliate employing the applicable Employee) to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and
any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) will not be deemed a Termination of Service. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. The Company expressly reserves the
right, which may be exercised at any time and without regard to when during a Performance Period such exercise occurs, to terminate any individual’s employment with or without cause, and to treat him or her without regard to the effect that
such treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant. 
 (c)    Participation. No Employee will have the
right to be selected to receive an award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future award. 

(d)    Forfeiture Events. 

(i)    Clawback Policy; Applicable Laws. All awards under the Plan will be subject to reduction, cancellation,
forfeiture, or recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company (or any parent or subsidiary) is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s
securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable laws. In addition, the Administrator may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions with
respect to an award under the Plan as the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate, including without limitation a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired cash, stock, or other property provided with respect to an award.
Unless this Section 6(d)(i) is specifically mentioned and waived in a written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any parent or subsidiary) or other document, no recovery of compensation under a clawback policy will give the
Participant the right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with a member of the Company Group. 

(ii)    Additional Forfeiture Terms. The Administrator may specify when providing for an award under the Plan that
the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to the award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or
performance conditions of the award. Such events may include, without limitation, termination of the Participant’s status as an Employee for “cause” or any act by a Participant, whether before or after the Participant’s status as
an Employee terminates, that would constitute “cause.” 
 (e)    Successors. All obligations of the
Company under the Plan, with respect to awards granted hereunder, will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

 (f)    Beneficiary Designations. If permitted by the Committee, a
Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid award will be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant and will be
effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death will be paid to the Participant’s estate. 

(g)    Nontransferability of Awards. No award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned,
or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to the limited extent provided in Section 6(e). All rights with respect to an award granted to a Participant will be available during his or
her lifetime only to the Participant. 
 7.    Amendment, Termination, and Duration. 

(a)    Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Board or the Committee, in its sole discretion, may amend or
terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan will not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Actual Award
theretofore earned by such Participant. No award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. 

(b)    Duration of Plan. The Plan will commence on the date specified herein, and subject to Section 7(a)
(regarding the Board’s and the Committee’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), will remain in effect thereafter until terminated.

(a)    Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also will
include the feminine; the plural will include the singular and the singular will include the plural. 

(b)    Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan will be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the
illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

(c)    Requirements of Law. The granting of awards under the Plan will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 

(d)    Governing Law. The Plan and all awards will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of California, but without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
