per month shall incur an interruption of Continuous Service.

 Section 4. Shares Available for Awards. 

(a)    Shares Available. 

(i)    Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b), the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards
may be granted from time to time under the Plan shall in the aggregate not exceed the sum of (i) [            ]1, plus
(ii) the number of Shares that become available for issuance under Section 4(a)(ii) of this Plan; provided, that, subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 4(b), the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options may be granted under the Plan shall be [            ]2. Unless the Committee acts, prior to the first day of a
given fiscal year, to provide otherwise, the total number of Shares reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan will be increased on the first day of the first nine (9) fiscal years following the Company’s
fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs, in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) five percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (y) such fewer number of Shares as is
determined by the Committee. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b), and notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, or any plan or program of the Company or any Subsidiary to the contrary, the maximum amount of compensation that may
be paid to any single non-employee member of the Board in respect of any single fiscal year (including Awards under the Plan, determined based on the Fair Market Value of such Award as of the grant date, as
well as any retainer fees, but excluding any amounts paid in respect of a director’s first year of service with the Company, and excluding any special committee fees) shall not exceed $750,000 (the
“Non-Employee Director Compensation Limit”). 
 (ii)    If any Shares
subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, or exchanged or if an Award terminates or expires without a distribution of Shares to the Participant, the Shares with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation,
exchange, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, if two Awards are granted together in tandem, the Shares underlying any portion of the tandem Award which is not exercised or not
otherwise settled in Shares will again be available for Awards under the Plan. Upon payment in cash of the benefit provided by any Award granted under this Plan, any 
  

 

	1 	 10% of common stock outstanding as of the closing date. 



	2 	 10% of common stock outstanding as of the closing date.




  
 5 












 
Shares that were covered by that Award will again be available for Awards under the Plan. If, under this Plan, a Participant has elected to give up the right to receive cash compensation in
exchange for Shares based on fair market value, such Shares will not count against the aggregate limit described in Section 4(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shares which (1) are tendered to or withheld by the Company to satisfy
payment or applicable tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting or delivery of an Award, (2) are withheld by the Company upon exercise of an Option pursuant to a “net exercise” arrangement, or (3) underlie a
Stock Appreciation Right that is settled in Shares, shall not again be available for Awards under the Plan. In addition, Shares that are purchased by the Company in the open market pursuant to any repurchase plan or program, whether using Option
proceeds or otherwise, shall not be made available for grants of Awards under the Plan, nor shall such number of purchased shares be added to the limit described in Section 4(a)(i). 

(iii)    Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for,
outstanding awards previously granted by a company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). The number of Shares underlying any Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the aggregate number of
Shares available for Awards under the Plan. 
 (iv)    In the event that an entity acquired by the Company or with which
it combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan (“Target Company Plan”) previously approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition, merger or other
combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, to reflect such acquisition or merger) (“Assumed Available Shares”) may be used for Awards under this Plan made after
such acquisition or merger; provided, however, that Awards using such Assumed Available Shares may not be made after the deadline for new awards or grants under the terms of the Target Company Plan, and may only be made to individuals who were not
employees or directors of the Company or any subsidiary prior to such acquisition, merger or other combination. The Awards so granted may reflect the original terms of the awards being assumed or substituted or converted for and need not comply with
other specific terms of this Plan if such Awards comply with the terms of the Target Company Plan, and may account for Shares substituted for the securities covered by the original awards and the number of shares subject to the original awards, as
well as any exercise or purchase prices applicable to the original awards, adjusted to account for differences in stock prices in connection with the transaction. 

(b)    Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee
determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other
securities of the Company, or other corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the
Plan, then the Committee shall equitably adjust any or all of (i) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, including any
appropriate adjustments to the individual limitations applicable to Awards set forth in Section 4(a)(i); provided, however, that any adjustment to such individual limitations will be made only if and to the extent that such adjustment
would not cause any Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail to so qualify, (ii) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards,
and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in consideration for the cancellation of such Award, which, in the case of
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall equal the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Share subject to each such Option or Stock Appreciation Right over the per Share exercise price or grant price of such Option or Stock Appreciation
Right. 
 (c)    Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards. Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may
consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares. 
 (d)    Minimum Vesting.
Except with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the number of Shares reserved under the Plan (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4(b)), each Award shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one (1) year
commencing from the date of grant, or respect to Awards that vest upon the attainment of performance goals, a performance period that is at least one (1) year. For purposes of clarity, this Section 4(d) shall not prevent the Committee from
accelerating any Award in accordance with any provisions set forth in this Plan.

 Section 5. Eligibility. Any employee of, or consultant to, the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries (including any prospective employee), or non-employee director who is a member of the Board or the board of directors of a Subsidiary of the Company, shall be eligible to be selected as a
Participant and receive any Award as determined by the Committee. 
 Section 6. Stock Options. 

(a)    Grant. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole authority to determine the
Participants to whom Options shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each Option, the exercise price thereof and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option. The Committee shall have the authority to grant
Incentive Stock Options, or to grant Non-Qualified Stock Options, or to grant both types of Options. In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the terms and conditions of such grants shall be subject to and
comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code, as from time to time amended, and any regulations implementing such statute. All Options when granted under the Plan are intended to be
Non-Qualified Stock Options, unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. If an Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and if
for any reason such Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan; provided that such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan’s requirements relating to
Non-Qualified Stock Options. No Option shall be exercisable more than ten years from the date of grant. 

(b)    Exercise Price. The Committee shall establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted, which
exercise price shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and which exercise price (except with respect to Substitute Awards) shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 

(c)    Exercise. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify the period or periods of Continuous Service by the Participant that is necessary before the Option or installments thereof
will become exercisable. The Committee may impose such conditions with respect to the exercise of Options, including without limitation, any relating to the application of federal or state securities laws, as it may deem necessary or advisable. 

(d)    Payment. (i) No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full
of the aggregate exercise price therefor is received by the Company. Such payment may be made (A) in cash, or its equivalent, or (B) subject to the Company’s consent, by exchanging Shares owned by the optionee (which are not the
subject of any pledge or other security interest and which have been owned by such optionee for at least six months), or (C) subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee and applicable law, through delivery of irrevocable
instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price, or (D) subject to any conditions or limitations
established by the Committee, the Company’s withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of an Option pursuant to a “net exercise” arrangement (it being understood that, solely for purposes of determining the number of
treasury shares held by the Company, the Shares so withheld will not be treated as issued and acquired by the Company upon such exercise), or (E) by a combination of the foregoing, or (F) by such other methods as may be approved by the
Committee, provided that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any such Shares so tendered to the Company or withheld as of the date of such tender or withholding is at least equal to such aggregate
exercise price. 
 (i)    Wherever in this Plan or any Award Agreement a Participant is permitted to pay the exercise
price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such
Shares, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.

 (e)    Special Provisions Applicable to Incentive Stock Options.

 (i)    No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns
directly, or indirectly within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, Shares possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary thereof, unless such
Incentive Stock Option (1) has an exercise price at of least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of such Option, and (ii) cannot be exercised more than five years after the date it is granted. 

(ii)    To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares for which
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. 
 (iii)    Each Participant who receives an Incentive
Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Participant makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. 

Section 7. Stock Appreciation Rights. 

(a)    Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole authority to determine the
Participants to whom Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each Stock Appreciation Right Award, the grant price thereof and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise thereof. Stock
Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with another Award, in addition to another Award, or freestanding and unrelated to another Award. Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with or in addition to an Award may be granted either before,
at the same time as the Award or at a later time. No Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable more than ten years from the date of grant. 

(b)    Exercise and Payment. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive an amount equal to
the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right over the grant price thereof (which grant price (except with respect to Substitute Awards) shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the
date of grant). The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether a Stock Appreciation Right shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares. 

(c)    Other Terms and Conditions. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the
Committee shall determine, at the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the term, methods of exercise, methods and form of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee may impose such conditions or
restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. 
 Section 8. Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units. 
 (a)    Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole
authority to determine the Participants to whom Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be granted, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock and/or the number of Restricted Stock Units to be granted to each Participant, the
duration of the period during which, and the conditions, if any, under which, the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be forfeited to the Company, and the other terms and conditions of such Awards. 

(b)    Transfer Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, except, in the case of Restricted Stock, as provided in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreements. Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, (i) certificates issued in respect of Shares of
Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant and deposited by such Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company, or (ii) Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held at the Company’s
transfer agent in book entry form with appropriate restrictions relating to the transfer of such Shares of Restricted Stock. Upon the lapse of the restrictions applicable to such Shares of Restricted Stock, the Company shall, as applicable, either
deliver such certificates to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or the transfer agent shall remove the restrictions relating to the transfer of such Shares. 

  
 8 












 (c)    Payment. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall have a value
equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share. Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash, Shares, other securities or other property, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, upon or after the lapse of the restrictions applicable
thereto, or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement. No dividends shall be paid on any Shares of Restricted Stock and no dividend equivalents shall be paid on any Restricted Stock Units prior to the vesting of the Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable. 
 Section 9. Performance Awards. 

(a)    Grant. The Committee shall have sole authority to determine the Participants who shall receive a
“Performance Award”, which shall consist of a right which is (i) denominated in cash or Shares, (ii) valued, as determined by the Committee, in accordance with the achievement of such Performance Goals during such Performance
Periods as the Committee shall establish, and (iii) payable at such time and in such form as the Committee shall determine. 

(b)    Terms and Conditions. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee
shall determine the Performance Goals to be achieved during any Performance Period, the length of any Performance Period, the amount of any Performance Award and the amount and kind of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance
Award. 
 (c)    Payment of Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments
following the close of the Performance Period as set forth in the Award Agreement on the date of grant. 
 Section 10. Other
Stock-Based Awards. 
 The Committee shall have authority to grant to Participants an “Other Stock-Based Award”, which shall
consist of any right which is (i) not an Award described in Sections 6 through 9 above and (ii) an Award of Shares or an Award denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to,
Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan; provided that any such rights must comply, to the extent deemed desirable by the Committee, with
Rule 16b-3 and applicable law. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Stock-Based Award, including the
price, if any, at which securities may be purchased pursuant to any Other Stock-Based Award granted under this Plan. 
 Section 11.
Amendment and Termination. 
 (a)    Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend,
discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that if an amendment to the Plan (i) would materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (ii) would materially increase the number
of securities which may be issued under the Plan, (iii) would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, (iv) would increase the Non-Employee Director Compensation Limit, or
(v) must otherwise be approved by the stockholders of the Company in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the applicable nationally recognized exchange, or, if the Shares are not traded on the applicable nationally recognized
exchange, the principal national securities exchange upon which the Shares are traded or quoted, such amendment will be subject to stockholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained; and provided,
further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award previously granted shall not be effective as to such Participant
without the written consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary. 
 (b)    Amendments to Awards.
The Committee may amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted; provided that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, 

  
 9 












 
discontinuance, cancellation, or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award previously granted shall not be effective as to such
Participant without the written consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary. 
 (c)    Adjustment of
Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee is hereby authorized to make equitable adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, all outstanding Awards in recognition of unusual
or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(b) hereof) affecting the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or of changes
in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
the Plan. 
 (d)    Repricing. Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described in
Section 4(b) hereof, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of Options or the grant price of Stock Appreciation Rights, or cancel Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards
or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price or grant price, as applicable, that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or grant price of the original Stock Appreciation Rights, as applicable, without stockholder
approval. This Section 11(d) is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 4(b) of this Plan. 

Section 12. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, and except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award
Agreement, a Participant’s Awards will be treated as follows: 
 (a)    If an Award is continued, assumed,
replaced, converted or has new rights substituted therefor by the resulting or continuing entity, as determined by the Committee, and in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then any restrictions to which such
Award is subject shall not lapse upon a Change in Control and such Awards, as continued, assumed, replaced, converted or substituted, shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;
provided, that with respect to any outstanding Award that is subject to Performance Goals, the Committee may provide that such Award will be converted, assumed or replaced by the resulting or continuing entity as if target performance had
been achieved as of the date of the Change in Control and such Awards would continue to remain subject to the time-based service requirements, if any. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, to the extent outstanding Awards granted under
this Plan are continued, assumed, replaced, converted or substituted in accordance with this Section 12(a), if a Participant’s employment or service is terminated without Cause by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or
a Participant terminates his or her employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company for Good Reason, in either case, during the two year period immediately following a Change in Control, all outstanding Awards held
by the Participant that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable and all restrictions with respect to outstanding Awards shall lapse and become vested and non-forfeitable. 

(b)    If Awards are not continued, assumed, replaced, converted or substituted in accordance with Section 12(a),
then a Participant’s Awards may be treated in accordance with one or more of the following methods, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion: 

(i)    The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions on, Awards or provide for a period of
time for exercise prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control (with such exercise being contingent on the occurrence of the Change in Control, and, provided that, if the Change in Control does not take place within a specified period after
giving such notice to exercise for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void); 

(ii)     Any one or more outstanding Awards may be cancelled and the Committee may cause to be paid to the holders
thereof, in cash, shares of common stock, other securities or other property, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which, if applicable, may be based upon the price per Share received or to be
received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right, a cash payment in an 

  
 10 












 
amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value (as determined by the Committee) of the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right over the aggregate exercise price of
such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, respectively (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right having a per share exercise price equal to, or in excess of, the fair market value of a Share subject thereto may
be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor); and/or 
 (iii)    The Committee may, in its
sole discretion, make any other determination as to the treatment of Awards in connection with such Change in Control as the Committee may determine. 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any provision of this
Plan or an Award Agreement would cause a payment of deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to be made upon the occurrence of (i) a Change in Control, then such payment shall not be made unless such Change in
Control also constitutes a “change in ownership”, “change in effective control” or “change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or
(ii) a termination of employment or service, then such payment shall not be made unless such termination of employment or service also constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any
payment that would have been made except for the application of the preceding sentence shall be made in accordance with the payment schedule that would have applied in the absence of a Change in Control or termination of employment or service but
disregarding any future service or performance requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, any assumed or substituted Option shall comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1 (and any amendment thereto). 
 Section 13. General Provisions. 

(a)    Nontransferability. 

(i)    Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the
Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative. 

(ii)    No Award may be sold, assigned, alienated, pledged, attached or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a
Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported sale, assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute a sale, assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, transfer or encumbrance. 

(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in the applicable Award Agreement evidencing an Option granted
under the Plan or at any time thereafter in an amendment to an Award Agreement, provide that Options which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Options may be transferred by the Participant to whom such Option was granted (the
“Grantee”) without consideration, after such time as all vesting conditions with respect to such Option have been satisfied, and subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to: (1) the
Grantee’s spouse, children or grandchildren (including adopted and stepchildren and grandchildren) (collectively, the “Immediate Family”); (2) a trust solely for the benefit of the Grantee and his or her Immediate Family; or
(3) a partnership, corporation or limited liability company whose only partners, members or stockholders are the Grantee and his or her Immediate Family; (each transferee described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above is hereinafter referred
to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that the Grantee gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Grantee in writing that such a transfer would
comply with the requirements of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement evidencing the Option. 
 The terms of any Option transferred in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in the Plan or in an Award Agreement to an optionee, Grantee or Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except
that (a) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Options, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (b) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Options unless there
shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form covering the Shares to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee 

  
 11 












 
determines that such a registration statement is necessary or appropriate, (c) the Committee or the Company shall not be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or
not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Grantee under the Plan or otherwise and (d) the consequences of termination of the Grantee’s employment by, or services to, the Company under the terms of the Plan
and the applicable Award Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the Grantee, following which the Options shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the
applicable Award Agreement. 
 (iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only gratuitous transfers of
Awards shall be permitted. In no event may any Award granted under this Plan be transferred for value. 

(b)    Dividend Equivalents. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on any Award prior to vesting. In
the sole discretion of the Committee, an Award (other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights), whether made as an Other Stock-Based Award described in Section 10 or as an Award granted pursuant to Sections 6 through 9 hereof, may provide the
Participant with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash, Shares, other securities or other property on a deferred basis; provided, that such dividends or dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting conditions
as the Award to which such dividends or dividend equivalents relate. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld. 

(c)    No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there
is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with
respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated). 
 (d)    Share
Certificates. Shares or other securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof 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 SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

(e)    Withholding. (i) A Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Company, and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan, or from any compensation or
other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan,
and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. 

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, subject to the Company’s consent, a Participant may
satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by delivery of Shares owned by the Participant (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and which have been owned by the Participant for at least six months)
with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability or by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant with respect to an Award a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such
withholding liability as determined by the Company, or by such other methods as may be approved by the Committee, including, but not limited to, through a “broker-assisted” cashless exercise. 

(iii)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in connection with the transfer of an Option to a
Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 13(a), the Grantee shall remain liable for any withholding taxes required to be withheld upon the exercise of such Option by the Permitted Transferee. 

(f)    Detrimental Activity and Recapture. Awards hereunder shall be subject to cancellation or forfeiture of an
Award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Company of any gain related to an Award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the


  
 12 












 
Committee from time to time, if a Participant during employment or other service with the Company or a subsidiary, shall engage in activity detrimental to the Company, whether discovered before
or after the employment or service period. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Award Agreement may also provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an Award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Company of any
gain related to an Award, or other provision intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be required by the Committee under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the
SEC or any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Shares may be traded, or pursuant to any policy implemented or adopted by the Company. 

(g)    Award Agreements. Each Award hereunder that is not immediately vested and delivered as of its date of grant
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall be delivered to the Participant and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including but not limited to, the effect on such Award of the death,
disability or termination of employment or service of a Participant and the effect, if any, of such other events as may be determined by the Committee. 

(h)    No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the grant of options, restricted stock, Shares and other types of Awards provided for hereunder
(subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

(i)    No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be
retained in the employ of, or in any consulting relationship to, or as a director on the Board or board of directors, as applicable, of, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. Further, the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Company may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any applicable
employment contract or agreement. 
 (j)    No Rights as Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of the applicable
Award, no Participant or holder or beneficiary of any Award shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under the Plan until he or she has become the holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
connection with each grant of Restricted Stock hereunder, the applicable Award shall specify if and to what extent the Participant shall be entitled to the rights of a stockholder in respect of such Restricted Stock. 

(k)    Governing Law. Unless otherwise provided for in an applicable Award Agreement, the validity, construction,
and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, applied without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. 

(l)    Severability. 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 laws, 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. 
 (m)    Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to
issue or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or result in
any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant,
holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its sole
discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal securities laws. 

  
 13 












 (n)    Foreign Employees. In order to facilitate the
making of any Award or combination of Awards under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company
outside of the United States of America as the Committee 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 this Plan (including, without limitation, sub-plans) as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes, without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any
other purpose, and the Secretary or other appropriate officer of the Company may certify any such document as having been approved and adopted in the same manner as this Plan. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements, however,
shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the stockholders of the Company. 

(o)    No Trust or Fund Created. 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 Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. 

(p)    No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award,
and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated, or otherwise
eliminated. 
 (q)    Deferrals. In the event the Committee permits a Participant to defer any Award payable in
the form of cash, all such elective deferrals shall be accomplished by the delivery of a written, irrevocable election by the Participant on a form provided by the Company. All deferrals shall be made in accordance with administrative guidelines
established by the Committee to ensure that such deferrals comply with all applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

(r)    Headings. 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. 

Section 14. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 

(a)    To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with, or be exempt
from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Participants. This Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administered in a manner
consistent with this intent. Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of Treasury or the Internal
Revenue Service. In any case, a Participant shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this Plan and grants
hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or
penalties. 
 (b)    Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the
right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of Code) payable under this Plan and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.
Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Participant or for a Participant’s benefit under this Plan and grants hereunder may not be
reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

  
 14 












 (c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any award
agreement, to the extent that the Plan and/or Awards granted hereunder are subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and without a Participant’s prior consent, amend the Plan and/or Award, adopt
policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including, without limitation, amendments, policies, procedures and actions with retroactive effect) as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and/or any
Award from the application of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) preserve the intended tax treatment of any such Award, or (iii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, any regulations
or other guidance that may be issued after the date of the grant. 
 (d)    If, at the time of a Participant’s
separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company
from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant
to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise
scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, without interest, on the earlier of the first business day of the seventh month following separation from service or death. 

Section 15. Term of the Plan. 

(a)    Effective Date. This Plan shall become effective as of
[            ] (the “Effective Date”). 

(b)    Expiration Date. No grant will be made under this Plan more than ten years after the Effective Date, but all
grants made on or prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of this Plan. 

  
 15
