(a) Procedure.

i. Multiple Administrative Bodies. The Plan shall be administered by the Board, a Committee and/or their delegates.

 ii. Section 162. To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Awards
granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, Awards to “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code or Employees that the Committee
determines may be “covered employees” in the future shall be made by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”), Awards to Officers and Directors shall be made by the entire Board or a Committee of two or more “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3.

or (C) any other executive officer.

 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan and, in the case of a Committee or delegates acting as the Administrator, subject to the specific duties delegated to such Committee or delegates, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion: 

i. to select the Employees, Consultants and Directors of the Company or its Affiliates to whom Awards are to be granted hereunder;

 ii. to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; 

iii. to determine the type of Award to be granted to the selected Employees, Consultants and Directors; 

iv. to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan; 

v. to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and
conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise and/or purchase price (if applicable), the time or times when an Award may be exercised (which may or may not be based on performance criteria), the vesting schedule, any vesting and/or
exercisability acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, the acceptable forms of consideration, the term, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine and may be established at the time an Award is granted or thereafter; 

vi. to correct administrative errors; 

vii. to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan (including sub-plans and Plan addenda) and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

 viii. to adopt rules and procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific
requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized (A) to adopt the rules and procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, withholding procedures
and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements and (B) to adopt sub-plans and Plan addenda as the Administrator deems desirable, to accommodate foreign laws, regulations and practice; 

ix. to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans and
Plan addenda; 
 x. to modify or amend each Award, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of vesting and/or
exercisability, provided, however, that any such amendment is subject to Section 15 of the Plan and except as set forth in that Section, may not impair any outstanding Award unless agreed to in writing by the Participant; 

 

 8 








 xi. to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax amounts by electing to have the
Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option or vesting of a Stock Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld
shall be determined in such manner and on such date that the Administrator shall determine or, in the absence of provision otherwise, on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have
Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may provide; 
 xii.
to authorize conversion or substitution under the Plan of any or all stock options, stock appreciation rights or other stock awards held by service providers of an entity acquired by the Company (the “Conversion Awards”). Any
conversion or substitution shall be effective as of the close of the merger, acquisition or other transaction. The Conversion Awards may be Nonstatutory Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, as determined by the Administrator, with respect to
options granted by the acquired entity; provided, however, that with respect to the conversion of stock appreciation rights in the acquired entity, the Conversion Awards shall be Nonstatutory Stock Options. Unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator at the time of conversion or substitution, all Conversion Awards shall have the same terms and conditions as Awards generally granted by the Company under the Plan; 

xiii. to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously
granted by the Administrator; 
 xiv. to impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to
the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued as a result of or under an Award, including without limitation, (A) restrictions under an insider trading policy or
under any other Company policy relating to Company stock and stock ownership and (B) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers; 

xv. to provide, either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, that an Award shall contain as a term thereof, a right,
either in tandem with the other rights under the Award or as an alternative thereto, of the Participant to receive, without payment to the Company, a number of Shares, cash or a combination thereof, the amount of which is determined by reference to
the value of the Award; 
 xvi. to cause all outstanding Awards held by an Awardee to terminate immediately in their entirety
(including as to vested Options) upon first notification to the Awardee of the Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service for Cause. If an Awardee’s Continuous Service with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the
Awardee shall be terminated for Cause, the Administrator has the authority to cause all the Awardee’s rights under all outstanding Awards to be suspended during the investigation period in which event the Awardee shall have no right to exercise
any outstanding Awards. 
  

 9 








 xvii. to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of Awards shall be tolled during
any unpaid leave of absence. In the event of military leave, vesting shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that, upon an Awardee’s returning from military leave (under conditions that would entitle him or her to
protection upon such return under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act), he or she shall be given vesting credit with respect to Options to the same extent as would have applied had the Awardee continued to provide services to
the Company throughout the leave on the same terms as he or she was providing services immediately prior to such leave. 

xviii. to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan and any Award granted hereunder.

 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by
the Administrator regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants and on all other persons. The Administrator shall consider
such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and
such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select. 
  

	5.	Eligibility. 

 Awards may
be granted to Employees, Consultants and Directors of the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company. 

 

	6.	Term of Plan. 

 The Plan
shall become effective on the Effective Date. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of the Effective Date or the date any amendment to add shares to the Plan is approved by stockholders of the Company unless
terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan. 
  

	7.	Term of Award. 

 The term
of each Award shall be determined by the Administrator and stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the term shall be ten (10) years from the Grant Date or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement; provided
that an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who on the Grant Date owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary shall have a term of no more than five
(5) years from the Grant Date. 
  

 10 









	8.	Options. 

 The
Administrator may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option, either from time to time in the discretion of the Administrator or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, the achievement of

that may be issued upon exercise of the Option, (ii) the type of Option, (iii) the exercise price of the Shares and the means of payment for the Shares, (iv) the term of the Option, (v) such terms and conditions on the vesting
and/or exercisability of an Option as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator, (vi) restrictions on the transfer of the Option or the Shares issued upon exercise of the Option and forfeiture provisions, and (vii) such
further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator. 

(b) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option
shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: 
 i. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the per
Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date; provided however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who on the Grant Date owns stock
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. 
 ii. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall
be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. 
 iii. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at the Administrator’s discretion, Conversion Awards may be granted in substitution and/or conversion of options of an acquired entity, with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date of such substitution and/or conversion. 
 (c) Vesting Period and Exercise Dates. Options
granted under this Plan shall vest and/or be exercisable at such time and in such installments during the period prior to the expiration of the Option’s term as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have the right to make the
timing of the ability to exercise any Option granted under this Plan subject to continued employment, the passage of time and/or such performance requirements as deemed appropriate by the Administrator, or to grant fully vested Options. At any time
after the grant of an Option, the Administrator may reduce or eliminate any restrictions surrounding any Participant’s right to exercise all or part of the Option. 
  


 11 








 (d) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the
acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment, either through the terms of the Option Agreement or at the time of exercise of an Option. Acceptable forms of consideration may include: 

i. cash; 
 ii.
check or wire transfer (denominated in U.S. Dollars); 
 iii. subject to the Company’s discretion to refuse for any reason
and at any time to accept such consideration and subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Administrator, other Shares held by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate
exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised; 
 iv. consideration received by the Company under a
broker-assisted sale and remittance program acceptable to the Administrator; 
 v. cashless “net exercise” arrangement
pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided that the Company shall accept
a cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any remaining balance of the exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued; 

vi. such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or 

vii. any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

exercise price of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan after it is granted; (b) any other action affecting an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan that is treated as a
repricing under United States generally accepted accounting principles; (c) canceling an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan at a time when its exercise or purchase price exceeds the then fair market value of
the stock underlying such outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right, in exchange for another Option or Stock Appreciation Right or a cash payment, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a merger, consolidation, sale of
substantially all the Company’s assets, acquisition, spin-off, spin-out, or other similar corporate transaction.

	9.	Effect of Termination of Continuous Service on Awards 


(a) Generally. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, upon an Awardee’s Termination of
Continuous Service other than as a result of circumstances described in Sections 9(b), (c), (d) and (e) below, all outstanding Awards granted to such Awardee that were vested and exercisable as of the date of the Awardee’s Termination
of Continuous Service may be exercised by the Awardee until the earlier of (A) three (3) months following Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service or (B) the expiration of the term of such Award; provided, however, that the
Administrator may in the Award Agreement specify a period of time (but not beyond the expiration date of the Award) following Termination of Continuous Service during which the Awardee may exercise the Award as to Shares that were vested and
exercisable as of the date of Termination of Continuous Service. To the extent such a period following Termination of Continuous Service is specified, the Award shall automatically terminate at the end of such period to the extent the Awardee has
not exercised it within such period. 
 (b) Disability of Awardee. Unless otherwise provided for by
the Administrator, upon an Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service as a result of the Awardee’s disability, including Total and Permanent Disability, all outstanding Awards granted to such Awardee that were vested and exercisable as of
the date of the Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service may be exercised by the Awardee until the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months following Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service as a result of Awardee’s
disability, including Total and Permanent Disability or (B) the expiration of the term of such Award. If the Participant does not exercise such Award within the time specified, the Award (to the extent not exercised) shall automatically
terminate. 
 (c) Death of Awardee. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, upon an
Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service as a result of the Awardee’s death, all outstanding Awards granted to such Awardee that were vested and exercisable as of the date of the Awardee’s death may be exercised until the earlier
of (A) twelve (12) months following the Awardee’s death or (B) the expiration of the term of such Award. If an Award is held by the Awardee when he or she dies, such Award may be exercised, to the extent the Award is vested and
exercisable, by the beneficiary designated by the Awardee (as provided in Section 16 of the Plan), the executor or administrator of the Awardee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Award under the Awardee’s
will or the laws of descent or distribution; provided that the Company need not accept exercise of an Award by such beneficiary, executor or administrator unless the Company has satisfactory evidence of such person’s authority to act as such.
If the Award is not so exercised within the time specified, such Award (to the extent not exercised) shall automatically terminate. The Awardee’s service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Awardee dies within three
(3) months (or such longer period as determined by the Administrator, in its discretion) after the Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service. 
  

 13 








 (d) Termination for Cause. The Administrator has the authority
to cause all outstanding Awards held by an Awardee to terminate immediately in their entirety (including as to vested Awards) upon first notification to the Awardee of the Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service for Cause in accordance with
Section 4(b)(xvi) above. 
 (e) Other Terminations of Continuous Service. The Administrator may
provide in the applicable Award Agreement for different treatment of Awards upon Termination of Continuous Service of the Awardee than that specified above. 

(f) Extension of Exercise Period. The Administrator shall have full power and authority to extend the period
of time for which an Award is to remain exercisable following an Awardee’s Termination of Continuous Service from the periods set forth in Sections 9(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above or in the Award Agreement to such greater time as
the Administrator shall deem appropriate, provided that in no event shall such Award be exercisable later than the date of expiration of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement. 

(g) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than a termination for Cause,
if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 9(a), (b), (c) and (e) above or in the Award Agreement is prevented by Section 18 below, the Award shall remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the
date the Awardee is notified by the Company that the Award is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Award expiration date. 

(h) Extension if Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than
a termination for Cause, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 9(a), (b), (c) and (e) above or in the Award Agreement would subject the Awardee to a suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the
Award shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth
(10th) day following the date on which a sale of
shares by the Awardee would no longer be subject to suit, (ii) the one hundred ninetieth
(190th) day after Awardee’s Termination of
Continuous Service, or (iii) the Award expiration date. 
  

	10.	Incentive Stock Option Limitations/Terms. 


(a) Eligibility. Only employees (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be granted Incentive Stock Options. 

(b) $100,000 Limitation. Notwithstanding the designation “Incentive Stock Option” in an Option
Agreement, if and to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Awardee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any of
its Subsidiaries) exceeds U.S. $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 10(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair
Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the Grant Date. 
  

 14 








 (c) Transferability. An Incentive Stock Option may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner by the Awardee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such Awardee, may only be exercised by the Awardee. If the terms of
an Incentive Stock Option are amended to permit transferability, the Option will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The designation of a beneficiary by an Awardee will not constitute a transfer. 

(d) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the
Administrator in accordance with Section 8(b)(i) of the Plan. 
 (e) Other Terms. Option
Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such other terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify, to the extent determined desirable by the Administrator, with the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.

  

	11.	Exercise of Award.


(a) Procedure for Exercise. 

i. Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as
determined by the Administrator and set forth in the respective Award Agreement. 
 ii. An Award shall be deemed exercised when
the Company receives (A) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Award; (B) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the related Award is
exercised; and (C) payment of all applicable withholding taxes (if any). 
 iii. An Award may not be exercised for a
fraction of a Share. 
 (b) Rights as a Stockholder. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such
Shares as administratively practicable after the Award is exercised. Shares issued upon exercise of an Award shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse.
Unless provided otherwise by the Administrator or pursuant to this Plan, until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or
receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Award. 
  

 15 









	12.	Stock Awards.


(a) Stock Award Agreement. Each Stock Award Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (i) the number
of Shares subject to such Stock Award or a formula for determining such number, (ii) the purchase price of the Shares, if any, and the means of payment for the Shares, (iii) the performance criteria (including Qualifying Performance
Criteria), if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the number of Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) such terms and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting, settlement and/or forfeiture
of the Shares as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator, (v) restrictions on the transferability of the Stock Award and (vi) such further terms and conditions in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be
determined from time to time by the Administrator. 
 (b) Restrictions and Performance Criteria. The
grant, issuance, retention, settlement and/or vesting of each Stock Award or the Shares subject thereto may be subject to such performance criteria (including Qualifying Performance Criteria) and level of achievement versus these criteria as the
Administrator shall determine, which criteria may be based on financial performance, personal performance evaluations and/or completion of service by the Awardee. Unless otherwise permitted in compliance with the requirements of Code
Section 162(m) with respect to an Award intended to comply as “performance-based compensation” thereunder, the Committee shall establish the Qualifying Performance Criteria applicable to, and the formula for calculating the amount
payable under, the Award no later than the earlier of (a) the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of the applicable performance period, or (b) the date on which 25% of the performance period has elapsed, and in any event at a
time when the achievement of the applicable Qualifying Performance Criteria remains substantially uncertain. 

(c) Forfeiture. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, upon the Awardee’s Termination of
Continuous Service, the Stock Award and the Shares subject thereto shall be forfeited, provided that to the extent that the Participant purchased or earned any Shares, the Company shall have a right to repurchase the unvested Shares at such price
and on such terms and conditions as the Administrator determines. 
 (d) Rights as a
Stockholder. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, the Participant shall have the rights equivalent to those of a stockholder and shall be a stockholder only after Shares are issued (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) to the Participant. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, a Participant holding Stock Units shall not be entitled to receive dividend
payments or any credit therefor as if he or she was an actual stockholder. 
 (e) Stock Appreciation Rights.

 i. General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards
granted under the Plan. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to eligible Participants subject to terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan and determined by the Administrator. The specific terms and conditions applicable
to the Participant shall be provided for in the Stock Award Agreement. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at such times as the Administrator shall specify in the Stock Award Agreement. 

 

 16 








 ii. Exercise of Stock Appreciation Right. Upon the exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right, in whole or in part, the Participant shall be entitled to a payment in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of a fixed number of Shares covered by the exercised portion of the Stock
Appreciation Right, over the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date of the Shares covered by the exercised portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (or such other amount calculated with respect to Shares subject to the Award as the Administrator may
determine). The amount due to the Participant upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be paid in such form of consideration as determined by the Administrator and may be in cash, Shares or a combination thereof, over the period or
periods specified in the Stock Award Agreement. A Stock Award Agreement may place limits on the amount that may be paid over any specified period or periods upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, on an aggregate basis or as to any
Participant. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be considered exercised when the Company receives written notice of exercise in accordance with the terms of the Stock Award Agreement from the person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right.

 iii. Nonassignability of Stock Appreciation Rights. Except as determined by the Administrator, no Stock
Appreciation Right shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	13.	Other Provisions Applicable to Awards.


(a) Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner for value other than by beneficiary designation, will or by the laws of descent or distribution. Subject to Section 10(c), the Administrator may in its discretion make
an Award transferable to an Awardee’s family member or any other person or entity as it deems appropriate. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, either at the time of grant or thereafter, such Award shall contain such additional
terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate, and any transferee shall be deemed to be bound by such terms upon acceptance of such transfer. 
  

 17 








 (b) Qualifying Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan,
the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit,
Affiliate or business segment, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’
results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Administrator in the Award: (i) cash flow; (ii) earnings (including gross margin; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization; earnings before taxes; and net earnings); (iii) earnings per share; (iv) growth in earnings or earnings per share; (v) stock price; (vi) return on equity or average stockholders’ equity;
(vii) total stockholder return; (viii) return on capital; (ix) return on assets or net assets; (x) return on investment; (xi) revenue or growth in revenue; (xii) income or net income; (xiii) operating income or net
operating income, in aggregate or per share; (xiv) operating profit or net operating profit; (xv) operating margin; (xvi) return on operating revenue; (xvii) market share; (xviii) contract awards or backlog;
(xix) overhead or other expense reduction; (xx) growth in stockholder value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or a peer group index; (xxi) credit rating; (xxii) strategic plan development and implementation
(including individual performance objectives that relate to achievement of the Company’s or any business unit’s strategic plan); (xxiii) improvement in workforce diversity; (xxiv) growth of revenue, operating income or net
income; (xxv) efficiency ratio; (xxvi) ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets; and (xxvii) any other similar criteria. The Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria
to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (A) asset write-downs; (B) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (C) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or
provisions affecting reported results; (D) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs; (E) any gains or losses classified as extraordinary or as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements; and
(F) mergers, acquisitions or divestitures. 
 (c) Certification. Prior to the payment of any
compensation under an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria and any other material terms
under such Award have been satisfied (other than in cases where such relate solely to the increase in the value of the Common Stock). 

(d) Discretionary Adjustments Pursuant to Section 162(m). Notwithstanding satisfaction of any completion
of any Qualifying Performance Criteria, to the extent specified at the time of grant of an Award to “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the number of Shares, Options or other benefits granted, issued,
retainable and/or vested under an Award on account of satisfaction of such Qualifying Performance Criteria may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.

 (e) Tax Withholding Obligation. As a condition of the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise or
settlement of an Award granted under the Plan, the Participant shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in
connection with such grant, issuance, vesting, exercise or settlement of the Award. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied. 

 

 18 








 (f) Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Code Section 409A and unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement, the Award Agreement
evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary for such Award to avoid the consequences described in Code Section 409A(a)(1), and to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law (and unless otherwise stated in
the applicable Award Agreement), the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be interpreted in a manner that results in their conforming to the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) and any Department of Treasury or
Internal Revenue Service regulations or other interpretive guidance issued under Section 409A (whenever issued, the “Guidance”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan (and unless the Award Agreement provides
otherwise, with specific reference to this sentence), to the extent that a Participant holding an Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and the Guidance is a “specified employee” (also as defined
thereunder), no distribution or payment of any amount shall be made before a date that is six (6) months following the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A and the Guidance) or, if
earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. 
 (g) Deferral of Award Benefits. The
Administrator may in its discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it determines appropriate permit one or more Participants whom it selects to (a) defer compensation payable pursuant to the terms of an Award, or (b) defer
compensation arising outside the terms of this Plan pursuant to a program that provides for deferred payment in satisfaction of such other compensation amounts through the issuance of one or more Awards. Any such deferral arrangement shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator shall from time to time establish, and no such deferral arrangement shall be a valid and binding obligation unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement, the form of which the
Administrator has approved, including through the Administrator’s establishing a written program (the “Program”) under this Plan to govern the form of Award Agreements participating in such Program. Any such Award Agreement or
Program shall specify the treatment of dividends or dividend equivalent rights (if any) that apply to Awards governed thereby, and shall further provide that any elections governing payment of amounts pursuant to such Program shall be in writing,
shall be delivered to the Company or its agent in a form and manner that complies with Code Section 409A and the Guidance, and shall specify the amount to be distributed in settlement of the deferral arrangement, as well as the time and form of
such distribution in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A and the Guidance. 
  

 19 









	14.	Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, or Change In Control


(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number
of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan, but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon
cancellation, forfeiture or expiration of an Award, the price per Share subject to each such outstanding Award and each of the share limits set forth in Section 3(a) and 3(b), shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in
the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, payment of a dividend or distribution in a form other than stock (excepting normal
cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, 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 or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award. 
 (b)
Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the
extent it has not been previously exercised or the Shares subject thereto issued to the Awardee and unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

 (c) Change in Control. In the event there is a Change in Control of the Company, as determined by
the Board or a Committee, the Board or Committee may, in its discretion, (i) provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment (including to the number and type of Shares and exercise or purchase price applicable) to, each
outstanding Award; (ii) accelerate the vesting of Options and terminate any restrictions on Stock Awards; and/or (iii) provide for termination of Awards as a result of the Change in Control on such terms and conditions as it deems
appropriate, including providing for the cancellation of Awards for a cash or other payment to the Participant. 
 For purposes
of this Section 14(c), an Award shall be considered assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Change in Control, as the case may be, each holder of an Award would be entitled to receive
upon exercise of the Award the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been, immediately
prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of Shares covered by the Award at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the Award as provided for in Section 14(a); provided that if such
consideration received in the transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the Award to be
solely common stock of the successor corporation equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction. 

 

 20 









	15.	Amendment and Termination of the Plan.


(a) Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan or any Award
Agreement, but any such amendment shall be subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company in the manner and to the extent required by Applicable Laws. To the extent required to comply with Section 162(m), the Company shall seek
re-approval of the Plan from time to time by the stockholders. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, unless approved by the stockholders of the Company, no such amendment shall be made that would: 

i. materially increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan, other than an increase pursuant to
Section 14 of the Plan; or 
 ii. reduce the minimum exercise prices at which Options may be granted under the Plan (as set
forth in Section 8(b)); or 
 iii. result in a Repricing (as defined in Section 8(e)) of Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights; or 
 iv. change the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan. 

(b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the
rights of any Award, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company; provided further that the Administrator may amend an outstanding
Award in order to conform it to the Administrator’s intent (in its sole discretion) that such Award not be subject to Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B). Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the
powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 

(c) Effect of the Plan on Other Arrangements. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board or a Committee nor
the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or any Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it or they may deem desirable,
including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock, stock options or cash bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The value of Awards granted
pursuant to the Plan will not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries or other similar terms used when calculating an Awardee’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Subsidiary except as such plan
otherwise expressly provides. 
  

	16.	Designation of Beneficiary.


(a) An Awardee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive the Awardee’s rights pursuant
to Awardee’s Award or the Awardee may include his or her Awards in an omnibus beneficiary designation for all benefits under the Plan. To the extent that Awardee has completed a designation of beneficiary while employed with the Company, such
beneficiary designation shall remain in effect with respect to any Award hereunder until changed by the Awardee to the extent enforceable under Applicable Law. 
  

 21 








 (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Awardee at any
time by written notice. In the event of the death of an Awardee and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Awardee’s death, the Company shall allow the executor or administrator of
the estate of the Awardee to exercise the Award, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may allow the spouse or one or more dependents or relatives of the Awardee
to exercise the Award to the extent permissible under Applicable Law or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 

 

	17.	No Right to Awards or to Employment.


No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award and the grant of any Award shall not be construed as giving an Awardee the
right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or its Affiliates. Further, the Company and its Affiliates expressly reserve the right, at any time, to dismiss any Employee, Consultant or Awardee at any time without liability or any claim
under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any Award Agreement entered into hereunder. 
  

	18.	Legal Compliance.

 Subject
to Section 22, Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Award unless the exercise of such Option or Stock Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
  

	19.	Reservation of Shares.


The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  

	20.	Notice.

 Any written
notice to the Company required by any provisions of this Plan shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and shall be effective when received. 
  

	21.	Governing Law; Interpretation of Plan and Awards. 


(a) This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the substantive laws, but
not the choice of law rules, of the state of Delaware. 
 (b) In the event that any provision of the Plan or any
Award granted under the Plan is declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, or
otherwise deleted, and the remainder of the terms of the Plan and/or Award shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision. 

 

 22 








 (c) The headings preceding the text of the sections hereof are inserted
solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of the Plan, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect. 

(d) The terms of the Plan and any Award shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective permitted heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns. 
 (e) All questions arising under the Plan or
under any Award shall be decided by the Administrator in its total and absolute discretion. In the event the Participant believes that a decision by the Administrator with respect to such person was arbitrary or capricious, the Participant may
request arbitration with respect to such decision. The review by the arbitrator shall be limited to determining whether the Administrator’s decision was arbitrary or capricious. This arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive review permitted
of the Administrator’s decision, and the Awardee shall as a condition to the receipt of an Award be deemed to explicitly waive any right to judicial review. 

(f) Notice of demand for arbitration shall be made in writing to the Administrator within thirty (30) days after the
applicable decision by the Administrator. The arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the Commercial Rules of Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that the arbitration shall not be administered by
the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be administered and conducted by the arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Rules of Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrator on the
issue(s) presented for arbitration shall be final and conclusive and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
  

	22.	Limitation on Liability.


The Company and any Affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to a Participant, an Employee,
an Awardee or any other persons as to: 
 (a) The Non-Issuance of Shares. The non-issuance or sale of
Shares (including under Section 18 above) as to which the Company has been unable, or the Arbitration deems it infeasible, to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary
to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; and 
 (b) Tax Consequences. Any tax
consequence realized by any Participant, Employee, Awardee or other person due to the receipt, vesting, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Award granted hereunder or due to the transfer of any Shares issued hereunder. The Participant is
responsible for, and by accepting an Award under the Plan agrees to bear, all taxes of any nature that are legally imposed upon the Participant in connection with an Award, and the Company does not assume, and will not be liable to any party for,
any cost or liability arising in connection with such tax liability legally imposed on the Participant. In particular, Awards issued under the Plan may be characterized by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as “deferred
compensation” under the Code resulting in additional taxes, including in some cases interest and penalties. In the event the IRS determines that an Award constitutes deferred compensation under the Code or challenges any good faith
characterization made by the Company or any other party of the tax treatment applicable to an Award, the Participant will be responsible for the additional taxes, and interest and penalties, if any, that are determined to apply if such challenge
succeeds, and the Company will not reimburse the Participant for the amount of any additional taxes, penalties or interest that result. 
  

 23 








 (c) Forfeiture. The requirement that Participant forfeit an Award, or
the benefits received or to be received under an Award, pursuant to any Applicable Law. 
  

	23.	Indemnification. 

 In
addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or officers or employees of the Company or an Affiliate, members of the Board and any officers or employees of the Company or an Affiliate to whom authority to
act for the Board or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or
in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in
settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall
be adjudged in any such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit or
proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same. 
  

	24.	Unfunded Plan.

 Insofar as
it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Awardees who are granted Stock Awards under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The
Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company nor the Administrator be deemed to be a trustee of stock
or cash to be awarded under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created by the Plan; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed
to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation which may be created by this Plan.

  

 24
